Doomsday: It’s normal that I can choose a stronger power.

In the survival base, in addition to the factory sheds, there is a built house in the middle, which is also the only building inside.

This is the command center of the survival base and also where the top leaders of Star City live.

The sudden outbreak of Doomsday caused serious losses to the Star City government, with many department heads missing and the internal system in chaos.

In addition, the mobile phone signal was interrupted and contact with Kyoto was lost, which led many senior officials to start to have other ideas.

At this time, seven or eight people were sitting at the conference table in the command center, discussing something.

These people are all high-ranking military and political figures in Star City.

"The first phase of the rescue mission has been basically completed. More than 3,000 people, including students from several major universities and key communities such as Jingheyuan and Qingzhuyuan, have been brought back to the base safely. When will the second phase of the rescue mission begin?" asked Liu Yong, deputy division commander of the military.

He is currently the highest-ranking military commander in Star City. The division commander and political commissar both died in this disaster, so he is the one who makes the decisions on the military side.

"Deputy Commander Liu, please first tell us about the difficulties and losses encountered in this rescue." Ma Zhongguo, the mayor of Xingcheng, who was sitting in the head direction, said.

The government also suffered heavy losses, with the deputy mayor, city secretary and others killed, but fortunately the mayor survived.

Xingcheng is a provincial capital, and Ma Zhongguo, as the mayor, holds a fairly high position.

In peacetime, the military and the government do not interfere with each other.

But now is a special situation and both sides must work together.

At this time, there must be a leader.

As the current highest-ranking official in Star City, Ma Zhongguo naturally became the leader of Star City.

"The biggest difficulty is that we don't have enough ammunition. Most of the time, the soldiers are fighting in close combat, so the soldiers have also suffered considerable losses on this trip." Liu Yong said with some sadness.

"Then let's put the second phase of the rescue mission aside for now. We have two more urgent tasks right now. One is your ammunition problem, and the other is your daily supplies problem."

"There are already tens of thousands of survivors in the base. The daily consumption is very huge. The supplies we have prepared are running low, so we must go out and search for supplies as soon as possible."

"The ammunition problem is equally urgent. I remember there's an arsenal in your garrison area. Finding a way to transport the ammunition back should solve the short-term problem."

"But there are still many survivors waiting for us to rescue them. If we delay for one day, the death toll will double!"

"Deputy Commander Liu, rescue is not blind. We need to solve the main problem first before we can better carry out the rescue. Without supplies, they will still starve to death even if they are rescued." Another man sitting below Ma Zhongguo said.

"Well...Okay, then when do we leave?"

"Gather the men and set off as soon as possible. Divide into two groups. One group will go to the armory to transport the ammunition, and the other group will go to the Walmart supermarket over ten kilometers away to transport the supplies."

"it is good!"

Liu Yong nodded, then left the meeting room and went to mobilize manpower.

Ma Zhongguo looked at Liu Yong's back as he left, his eyes flashing, wondering what he was thinking?

Soon, everyone else arranged their work and left, leaving Ma Zhongguo alone sitting in the meeting room.

After a while, the door at the back of the conference room suddenly opened and a middle-aged man walked in from behind the door.

This middle-aged man is Wang Zhenhong, the controller of the Wang family, the largest family in Xingcheng. He has always maintained a very close cooperative relationship with the mayor.

Ma Zhongguo was not surprised by the other party's appearance and pointed to the chair next to him.

"sit."

Wang Zhenhong didn't say anything polite and sat down directly, then looked at Ma Zhongguo.

"Mayor Ma, what do you think of my previous proposal?"

"There's no rush for this. Right now, most of the military still listen to Liu Yong. We need to find a way to take control of the military." Ma Zhongguo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if thinking about something.

"Since Liu Yong is so troublesome, why not...?"

"No, it's not time yet. The battle still depends on him."

"Ok."

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

The two frowned.

"You hide first."

"it is good."

Wang Zhenhong nodded and entered the back room again.

"Come in..." Ma Zhongguo shouted to the outside of the door.

The door opened and a soldier walked in and saluted Ma Zhongguo.

"Mayor, there's a group of college students outside clamoring to come in and see you."

"College Students?"

"Yes, it's the group of students from Zhongxiang University."

"Why are they here?" Ma Zhongguo asked with some confusion.

"Forget it, let them in."

"Yes."

Soon, Tang Weiwei, Qin Wei and others walked in.

"Hello, Mayor Ma, I'm so sorry to bother you." Tang Weiwei said politely.

"Is there anything you need?" Ma Zhongguo looked at them strangely.

"Mayor Ma, we want to go out, but the guards at the door won't let us out. Could you please make some concessions?"

"It's too dangerous outside now because there are zombies everywhere. You finally got into the base, why are you still thinking about leaving?"

"We need to go out and kill zombies to improve our strength. It's a waste of time to stay in the base." Qin Wei said.

Ma Zhongguo frowned. "Without a certain level of strength, going out is no different from committing suicide. You are all pillars of the country, so you can't take risks casually."

"Don't worry, we have the strength. We have several level three zombies here, and the others are all at the peak of level two. We will have no problem dealing with ordinary zombie groups!" Qin Wei said confidently.

"Oh? It's true that heroes emerge from youth."

Ma Zhongguo's eyes lit up, and then he thought for a moment and said, "Since you are so powerful, it is indeed a waste of time to stay at the base."

"However, the rule of not leaving the base at will cannot be broken, otherwise it will bring serious consequences to the safety of the base."

"How about this, I'll arrange for a few people to go out with you, so that the guards won't stop you."

"this..."

Tang Weiwei frowned..

"Don't worry, they're capable of protecting themselves. This is the only solution I can think of. Maybe in a few days we'll come up with a comprehensive solution, and you can leave then."

"Then you should arrange for someone to come along. Sorry to trouble Mayor Ma." Qin Wei said quickly.

When they go out again in a few days, they don’t know whether they can defeat the zombies.

Soon, Tang Weiwei and others left the meeting room.

"It seems Mayor Ma has taken a fancy to this group of college students?"

The back door opened again and Wang Zhenhong walked out slowly.

"In today's world, we must have more powerful evolvers to survive." Ma Zhongguo said with a smile.

On the other side..

"Captain Tang, what's wrong?" Qin Wei looked at Tang Weiwei who was frowning and asked in surprise.

"I'm wondering what Mayor Ma's purpose is in arranging a few people to follow us?" Tang Weiwei pondered.

"Didn't he say that? Arrange a few people to come over, and then the guards won't stop us." Qin Wei said.

"Are you an idiot? I don't know how you've survived until now. With his power, he could have just let us out with just one word. Why bother with that?"

Tang Weiwei left after she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that staying with Qin Wei for too long would affect her IQ.

"this..."

Qin Wei frowned, it seemed to be the case.

"Sijie, what do you think?" Qin Wei looked at Fang Sijie who had been silent.

Fang Sijie glanced at Qin Wei and suddenly said, "Brother Wei, if Mayor Ma wants to recruit you, what will you choose?"

"Mayor Ma recruited me?"

"Would he, the mayor, look down on us?"

"You don't need to worry about whether he likes it or not, just tell me whether you agree or not." Fang Sijie said.

"Of course not. We are free now. Why would we follow him?"

"Okay, remember what you said today."

"What's wrong with you? You're acting weird. You don't really think Mayor Ma will recruit us, do you?"

"Not sure, but try not to let the brothers get too close to the people they send, and don't expose anything in front of them."

"If it's such a hassle, why not just not let them follow?"

"It's not like you can't tell us not to go out now. If you don't let them follow us, we can't leave."

“…”

"Ok."
