In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

Upon hearing their Commander's words, everyone felt a chill. If true, the weight of those words was immense!

Another new cataclysm?

The current disasters were already deadly enough. If another new disaster were to appear, how would ordinary people survive?

These words represented the lives of countless ordinary people.

"Commander..."

The Commander waved his hand. "This is just my speculation. I feel they must think the time is not yet right. My judgment comes from the Zhongxing Merchant Guild, who feel these disasters won't end so easily."

"Based on the partial satellite data we have, this disaster is global. Some regions are experiencing different types of disasters than we are. If a new cataclysm truly appears after this extreme cold ends, it will be terrifying."

"Commander, what should we do?"

"Immediately issue orders for the army to mobilize and eliminate all private bases engaged in wrongdoing. Seize their supplies, distribute some to the ordinary survivors, and the rest will belong to our base. We must stockpile as many resources as possible."

"Open the base and recruit ordinary survivors. Let them help us gather resources, and then we will use these resources to trade with the Zhongxing Merchant Guild for a large amount of survival supplies," the Commander ordered immediately.

"Commander, how many survivors should we recruit? What are the requirements?" The adjutant recorded the orders and continued to ask.

"Recruit 100,000 survivors in the first batch. Carefully screen all applicants, with strict selection based on physical fitness, personal conduct, and resource reserves."

"After all survivors join our base, immediately implement military management. Anyone who violates the law will be severely punished. Harsh times require harsh measures!"

"Yes!"

........

Soon, the news that the Allied Association, located in the imperial capital of Tarwar, had begun recruiting survivors spread.

Before the cataclysm, Tarwar City had a population of about 75 million. After the apocalypse, the surviving population is now about 45 million. Li Ming's merchant guild and the Allied Association are both working to restore social order, so the overall order in Tarwar City is relatively stable for the time being.

After the Allied Association announced the opening of the base to recruit survivors, it quickly attracted a large number of survivors to sign up for the selection.

For many ordinary survivors, the first choice for survival now is naturally to enter the Zhongxing Merchant Guild's market to work. This is basically equivalent to having a golden rice bowl in the apocalypse.

The income is stable, and they provide accommodation and a lunch. Many goods and supplies are discounted for internal employees, and there are occasional benefits. Moreover, the safety is better.

The next best option is to find a way to enter the Allied Association's base. However, the Allied Association is a civilian force composed of the remnants of the imperial army, and it has never been open to the public.

After all, rumors say that the Allied Association controls an imperial strategic material reserve, so joining this base can guarantee food and clothing, and the chances of survival are very high.

Moreover, because it is a force composed of the remnants of the imperial army, the Allied Association has very good discipline, which is viewed favorably by ordinary people.

So, many people directly choose to participate in the Allied Association base's selection process.

Along with the Allied Association base, several other major forces in the imperial capital also opened their bases to recruit survivors. Although these major forces are not as good as the Zhongxing Merchant Guild and the Allied Association, they are not far behind.

The internal management of these major forces is more standardized than some small private bases. Almost all major forces have realized the meaning behind the Allied Association's unusual actions.

At this time, the leaders of almost all major forces with a bit of foresight realized the upcoming risks: that is, the cataclysms are likely to continue, and new cataclysms will appear.

Everyone knows that the Allied Association has never opened its base, but now it has opened it. This is very unusual.

So, these major forces began to recruit survivors to collect supplies for them, so as to trade with Li Ming's merchant guild for a large amount of survival supplies.

...........

At this time, Li Ming in Marga City also received news that the bases of several civilian forces composed of the remnants of the imperial army had begun to open to the public, which also stunned him.

He didn't expect these bases to recruit survivors. It was a very unexpected thing!

"Wang Shuang, immediately notify Minister Qian and Minister Zhang to come see me. I have some things I need to discuss with them!" Li Ming instructed Captain Wang Shuang.

"Yes!"

Soon, the two ministers appeared in Li Ming's office. One was the head of Li Ming's think tank, and the other was the minister in charge of his supplies.

Li Ming's office was simply decorated. Seeing the two arrive, he smiled, "Please find a place to sit. I have important matters to discuss with you and need your advice!"

The two ministers found a single sofa to sit on, and Captain Wang Shuang brought two cups of tea.

Minister Qian couldn't help but said, "Chief, please ask anything you want!"

Li Ming took a sip of water and said, "Minister Qian, Minister Zhang, according to the latest news I received, do you know that several forces composed of the remnants of the imperial army have begun to open their bases and recruit survivors?"

Upon hearing this news, the two were relieved. Minister Qian said, "Chief, I was just about to talk to you about this matter. Our think tank has already discussed this twice."

"Oh, tell me your thoughts!" Li Ming showed an interested expression.

"This is the thing, Chief. According to our team's speculation, it is very likely that these forces have seen that this cataclysm is global through the partial satellites they control. They have a very strong sense of crisis, so they are preparing to stockpile a large amount of survival supplies!" Minister Qian said.

Li Ming thought for a while and said, "Do you mean they plan to establish a seed base?"

Minister Qian didn't expect that his chief would consider so much, but he still said, "Chief, we also think so. It has many benefits for them to recruit a large number of survivors into the base."

"First of all, according to the latest intelligence, the conditions for them to recruit survivors are not low. First of all, if you want to join their base, you need to pay 50 kilograms of food supplies.

In addition to this condition, a series of background checks are required. No criminal record, clean background, and also need to undergo some physical fitness tests, and also need to have a skill!"

Minister Zhang, who was on the side, was quite surprised after hearing this, "Are they recruiting soldiers?"
