In a post-apocalyptic world, she was reborn and became the queen of the wilderness.

"I'll follow them and see, Ruoruo, wait for me!"

Wan Chengyan was worried about Wang Ruo going to District 1 alone, so he sprang to his feet and was about to chase after her.

"and many more!"

Qin Han reacted quickly and grabbed Wan Chengyan.

"Ruoruo is impulsive and young, so keep an eye on her and don't let her get tricked into saying something."

"Do not worry!"

Wan Chengyan nodded, "Given Yi Ruoruo's fanatical worship of her thighs, she will only be more cautious than I am."

"Ah."

Qin Han then released Wan Chengyan's arm, letting him go after Wang Ruo.

After watching the two leave, Qi Ya turned to Qin Han and asked, "Boss, what do you think about this?"

"I am more inclined to believe that this incident was orchestrated by the Yuan family and District 1 themselves."

Qin Han looked at the Yuan family on the opposite bank, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"The birds that perch on the trees near the Yuan family's house are mostly sparrows. They can be easily caught by giving them some rice. It's not difficult to create the illusion that they are being attacked by birds."

Furthermore, does it mean that people in Zone 1 who saw it actually saw it?

The Yuan family's supply warehouse is located deep within the Yuan family compound, adjacent to the supply warehouse of District One, making it the most heavily guarded area.

To see what's happening behind the Yuan family, you either have to break into the Yuan family directly from behind, or climb over the wall from behind District 1.

However, the rear of Zone 1 was guarded by the army, and no survivors were allowed to enter.

So the only option is to break in from behind the Yuan family compound, risking their lives to force their way in just to watch the spectacle?

Qin Han looked at Qi Ya with amusement, "Isn't that crazy?"

This might just be another of their dirty tricks to manipulate us.

This isn't the first time the other party has done something like crying "stop thief!"

Qin Han was not the only one who thought this way.

"Yuan Hong, are you sure this wasn't something your Yuan family orchestrated?"

The villain in Qin Han's eyes—Zhang Yiwen leaned back in his chair, took a sip of hot tea from his thermos, and looked up at the middle-aged man opposite him.

His gaze was filled with scrutiny and suspicion.

He believes the birds attacked the Yuan family; he witnessed it with his own eyes last night.

But fish fell from the sky?

Okay, actually someone reported this in the middle of the night.

However, he was more inclined to believe that the Yuan family had thrown the fish away themselves.

How could fish possibly fall from the sky!

However, why would the Yuan family do something so puzzling and full of speculation?

Zhang Yiwen didn't understand; he hadn't given the Yuan family any orders recently...

Yuan Hong was in a difficult situation.

"Commander, you should know whether our Yuan family has gone fishing by the river!"

The Yuan family's every move is being watched.

Besides, you can't eat the fish in that river, so why would they catch them?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi paused in his tea-drinking motion.

To be fair, the Yuan family really didn't go fishing by the river.

They hardly ever left their homes, living a carefree life surrounded by their own supplies and enjoying good food and drink.

"You mean that fish really fell from the sky?"

"Yes!"

Yuan Hong nodded earnestly, then looked at Zhang Yiwen with eagerness.

"Commander, the important thing right now isn't where the fish came from, it's the supplies of the Yuan family!"

"Supplies?"

Zhang Yiwen still believes that the Yuan family orchestrated the whole thing and doesn't take the Yuan family's loss of supplies to heart.

He took a leisurely sip of tea and casually said, "Isn't it just a little over two hundred catties of rice and flour that were lost?"

They might already be back in the Yuan family's supply depot...

"Could it be that you intend to use this as a reason to refuse to exchange supplies with District Three?"

Zhang Yiwen's tone carried a faint threat.

If that's the case, then the Yuan family has some serious ambitions!

His cooperation with the Yuan family, and his occasional use of supplies to manipulate the Third District, was merely to force ordinary people to rise up in resistance, rather than relying solely on the military and superhumans for everything.

Relying on mountains will lead to their collapse, relying on people will lead to their departure; only relying on oneself is the true path.

While we're at it, let's use up some of the Yuan family's resources.

As for whether the Yuan family is willing—

Ha, he doesn't care whether they want to or not.

If he doesn't want to, that's exactly what he wants!

A private family of fewer than a thousand people possesses enough resources to support hundreds of thousands...

The military will not lead the way in looting, but it will absolutely not allow a situation where "the rich feast while the poor freeze to death on the streets" to occur.

Moreover, the military wants 80% of the energy stones obtained by exchanging Yuan family resources.

They have to force a smile and offer it even if they don't want to, otherwise they'll have to get out of the military shelter's protection area.

Without the military's protection, how much of the Yuan family's supplies can be saved? And how many alien attacks can they withstand?

A cold glint flashed in Zhang Yiwen's half-closed eyes.

After Lao Zhao comes to negotiate, he will ask the Yuan family to raise the price slightly based on the original exchange price for the goods.

Instead of the currently rumored increase of three times.

The aim is to use the psychological gap to encourage ordinary people, who are still the main force of humanity, to actively confront the increasingly powerful alien species.

However, the price they offered wasn't high enough to make them blindly seek out other species to die in order to survive.

All they need to do is raise their weapons and fight back when the aliens attack, instead of retreating.

The superhumans can also use the energy stones they exchange to enhance their strength, and then enter the areas where the aliens live to bring out normal plants and animals.

The amount of supplies we have is finite; we can't just sit around and wait until they run out.

Only by raising poultry and livestock in captivity and continuously cultivating crops can a nation survive in the long run.

"Commander, how could I dare to have such thoughts?"

Yuan Hong cursed inwardly, but his face showed a bitter expression. "But now, my Yuan family really can't exchange with District Three!"

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Yiwen sat up abruptly, his eyes fixed on Yuan Hong, sharp as knives.

"Commander, all of the Yuan family's supplies have been stolen!"

Yuan Hong almost cried when he said this.

"Are you trying to pull some trick on me again, you old rascal?"

Zhang Yiwen slammed the cup down on the small table beside him, drew his gun, and cocked it.

"Yuan Hong, let me tell you, I don't have that kind of temper. Believe me or not, I'll shoot you dead and replace the leader of the Yuan family!"

"Commander, I didn't play any tricks. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate my Yuan family!"

Yuan Hong looked at the black gun barrel pointed at him with a panicked expression, but he didn't care in his heart.

As long as the Yuan family remains useful to the military, Zhang Yiwen will not be able to shoot him.

"By the way, Commander, was someone deliberately deceiving you last night and failing to report the Yuan family's situation to you in a timely manner...?"

If the military had helped last night, the Yuan family's supplies would never have been stolen so mysteriously!

I had originally planned to allocate 80% of the supplies to the Zone 1 shelter so that Zone 3 could negotiate directly with you, but—

The person who deliberately blocked you is a heartless, rotten bastard!

The words were said intentionally, but the heartache was real.

Yuan Hong's eyes were bloodshot, and his body trembled with anger.

Zhang Yiwen: "..."

Damn it, this old dog is making veiled insults, I might as well just shoot him dead!

Looking at Zhang Yiwen's dark face, a possibility suddenly flashed through Yuan Hong's mind.

Could the Yuan family have obtained their supplies from District One?

Looking across the entire city, the first district refuge is the strongest, and it's only a wall away from the Yuan family.

Who else could it be but them!

His family's supplies are probably lying in the supply warehouse in District 1 right now!

Yuan Hong gritted his teeth, and his gaze toward Zhang Yiwen was now filled with resentment.

"What's that look in your face?"

Zhang Yiwen took two steps forward, pressing the gun directly against Yuan Hong's temple. "You doubt me?"

"Don't dare!"

Yuan Hong said he wouldn't dare, but his gaze remained fixed on Zhang Yiwen without flinching.
