The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 70: Food

At the beginning, Luo Hang didn't understand what it meant to save people for a fee, but when he heard what the eldest sister and Brother Chen said, he suddenly realized.

"Winter should arrive in these few days. At that time, Base City will be fine, but in Gathering Place, at least more than half of the people will be threatened by severe winter. This is an opportunity for you." Leng Yuwei directly approached Su Chen.

"Oh, what opportunity?" Su Chen didn't seem to care.

He was observing his food storage. After all, he now had two bases. If he didn't store enough food, he would be in trouble for a winter.

"People only take out anything to exchange for their lives when they are in dire straits. If you take advantage of this opportunity to go to those Gathering Places and exchange food for things, what do you think you can't get?"

Su Chen rubbed his chin. "Well, it's a good idea, but why use food to exchange? Can't we just take it by force?"

Leng Yuwei's expression froze. Yes, with Su Chen's strength, except for Base City, he could easily take over those Gathering Places.

Suddenly, Leng Yuwei didn't know what to say. Luo Hang and Zhang Tao didn't say a word. They didn't dare to interrupt in this situation.

"Hahaha, just kidding. I'm not a tyrant. This way of directly robbing things doesn't suit me. I can consider your method."

Su Chen didn't lie. This method was indeed good for him.

Not everything can be solved by force. If things can be resolved peacefully, why use force?

Those people had no grievances with him, so he wouldn't take the initiative to deal with them.

Su Chen contacted the four super soldiers and asked about their recent food situation.

"Commander, our current food storage is enough for Base City to consume normally for about half a year. Before winter is fully here, food reserves should increase by about 1.5 times." This was Ju Ling's voice.

All the soldiers in the two bases added together had only a little over 10,000 people, while a Base City had at least millions of people. The consumption of so many people for half a year was quite terrifying.

Basically, even if they didn't go hunting Mutant Beasts, the food stored would be enough for them to eat for a long time.

"Commander, our soldiers encountered a Sixth Order late-stage Mutant Beast about 300 kilometers north of Sub-base. Should we send our men to clear it?" This was Guangtou Qiang's voice. He was full of energy when he heard there was a battle.

"Don't worry about it for now. If it continues to approach Sub-base, we can take action to solve it."

The current strength of the super soldiers was at the peak of the Sixth Order. It was easy for them to deal with a Sixth Order late-stage Mutant Beast.

After thinking about it, Su Chen said, "Increasing food storage will be useful to me later."

"Yes."

Energy consumption had been very fast recently. If almost all the soldiers didn't go hunting Mutant Beasts, he would feel that his energy was about to run out.

Looking at his current energy of nearly 100,000, Su Chen felt a little itchy. He felt that he must build the Tank legion.

Just as he was about to start, he thought of something. Once winter arrived, without the income from Mutant Beasts, his energy source would only be one place, the mine.

In that case, his energy source would be very limited.

Without energy, many things couldn't be done. He had to keep some energy in case of emergency.

"If I had several mines in my hands, that would be great."

Thinking of this, Su Chen suddenly realized something.

He didn't have any mines in his hands. Did Base City not have any?

A Base City should have at least several mines' locations. Otherwise, where did the metals in Base City come from? They couldn't have just appeared out of thin air, right?

Su Chen became excited. He called Leng Yuwei over and asked if she knew the location of Base City's mines.

Unfortunately, this kind of information was generally only known by the high-level people. Leng Yuwei, who had only entered Base City for a few days, couldn't possibly know.

"I don't know about this, but Base City must have people who know. Maybe some people in Gathering Places know, just like this coal mine. It's the closest to our Gathering Place, so everyone in our Gathering Place knows about it."

Leng Yuwei's words suddenly made Su Chen realize that it was impossible not to know about the mineral deposits near his home.

The coal mine nearby was not occupied by the Gathering Place initially because there were many Mutant Beasts in the area, and the coal inside the mine had little use other than for heating.

Only ordinary people needed coal for heating, and Transcendents hardly needed it. Now that the Gathering Place had been destroyed, no one would come here to dig up the coal mine.

Su Chen did not hesitate and sent out a team of Soldiers to go to the Gathering Place. At the same time, they used Tanks to pull boxes of food and agreed to reveal the location of the mineral deposits in exchange for food.

If they did not agree, well, too bad. This time, Su Chen had given the order to risk everything for the mineral deposits, and these Soldiers were perfect in executing the Commander's orders, and no one would disobey.

To make the Soldiers' words persuasive, the leading Soldier was at least a peak fourth-order Transcendent, and they were equipped with various types of troops, except for flying units. If those Gathering Places knew that such a powerful and crazy team was coming to them, they would probably be scared to death.

The team was sent out, and soon Su Chen received a message from Tanya: "Commander, Radar has detected a large number of Mutant Beasts approaching the base. Should we attack?" Su Chen's eyes lit up.

He was currently lacking a lot of food, and here it was. "Everyone, attack and leave all these Mutant Beasts... Remember not to smash the bodies."

"Commander, almost all of our Soldiers have been sent out, and with the Soldiers you just sent out, there are currently less than 100 warriors guarding the base." Su Chen: "???"

Su Chen did not believe it and took a closer look. Damn, it was really less than a hundred people. Among these hundred people, almost all of them were Soldiers stationed at the base. They were mainly responsible for defending the safety of the base and were assigned to various parts of the base.

Su Chen felt that it was very precarious to rely solely on these Soldiers to defend the base. "Fortunately, I left two radiation Engineers behind, and I didn't expect them to be useful."

Su Chen's mouth curled up. This was one of his favorite types of troops. A large syringe created an almost insoluble area, and unless someone could kill the radiation Engineers remotely, the radiation Engineers were invincible.

Even if some Soldiers were sent out, he still left the radiation Engineers behind. "Hehe, Mutant Beasts, you're done for."

Just as Su Chen was excited, a voice sounded: "Commander, didn't you want to leave this food behind? The radiation power of the radiation Engineers will make this food inedible."
