Since Li Ba went to deliver bonuses to his cheap cousin more than ten days ago and learned some information from the other party, he has already realized that the peaceful days of the settlement are over.
In the last days, food is the most important thing.
There are 50,000 survivors in Xibu City, and a huge amount of food and materials are consumed every day.
In addition, there are nearly 100,000 refugees outside the city.
Although the official said they were ignoring them, they did not completely give up on these similar people.
Food and supplies are distributed in disguise under various names.
Although they are the worst coarse grains, the amount consumed every day is still very large.
More than 90% of all these food supplies were saved before the end of the world.
Due to limited conditions, the authorities are unable to grow food on a large scale to solve the problem of food and clothing for the survivors.
After all, the supplies stored in the villages and towns around Xibu are limited, and they are being consumed bit by bit as time goes by.
Wait until the official army and mercenary teams can no longer search for supplies from the outside.
That day was also the day when Xibu faced great disaster and collapsed.
Bad signs have begun to show.
Humans are evolving, and so are zombies.
Compared to a few months ago, there are more and more mutated zombies roaming the wilderness towns.
Searching for supplies is also becoming increasingly difficult.
This has been confirmed by Li Ba's recent trip out of the city.
Outside the city, I got the news from Luo Jianguo.
It is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous for refugees to travel in search of food.
The supplies officials collect from refugees are also getting less and less.
In the same situation, the mercenary team in the city also had a difficult time.
News of small mercenary teams being wiped out from time to time came.
Nowadays, many mercenary teams have begun to organize themselves to gather more powerful firepower, so that they can have the confidence to go out of the city to search for supplies.
Even so, the harvest is still small.
According to reliable information, no supplies can be found in the villages and towns within 20 kilometers of Xibu.
If the mercenary team wants to obtain supplies, there are only two directions.
One is to go north along the provincial road and enter Liyang County.
The other option is to head south to Wujiang Town, the area where Suzhou and Huizhou provinces meet.
In these two directions, the pre-apocalyptic population is densely populated and there are many zombies.
Although there are supplies, if you don't do anything right, you will encounter a horde of corpses.
A weaker team is likely to encounter danger and be wiped out.
The place where Li Ba took his men today was near Wujiang Town.
Only here can one search for a large amount of supplies.
They gained a lot, but that doesn’t mean other teams can do the same.
Two teams, nearly forty evolvers.
In Xibu City, except for the officialdom and a few big forces, no one else has this kind of background at all.
As food and supplies decrease, they will bear the brunt and affect the quality of life of survivors in the city.
Merchants with a keen sense of smell will definitely be aware of this situation, reduce transactions in food supplies, and hoard them.
Such signs have already emerged.
According to Li Ba's speculation, the lack of food will cause chain reactions, devaluation of food stamps, riots among residents, crowding and then riots, and even shake the official order.
The most likely possibility is that the official food stores will close and the food stamps will become useless paper.
The Westbu settlement's fragile financial system collapsed, and the survivors reverted to barter.
The currency circulation order that the government worked so hard to establish returned to the pre-liberation state overnight.
Of course, if the government has sufficient food reserves, this crisis can be resolved.
But for Li Ba, he had to be prepared to deal with all possible crises.

Trucks loaded with food supplies drove into the headquarters of the trading company.
Everyone is busy, including the boss Li Ba, who personally directs the unloading of goods in the warehouse.
The headquarters warehouse covers an area of 10,000 square meters and can store hundreds of thousands of tons of materials.
Nowadays, there is only one corner of the warehouse, filled with food supplies.
Even so, the number of grains stored in this batch is not small.
If taken out, it would be enough to feed the entire settlement plus the refugees outside the city for two months.
A small part of this food was obtained by Li Ba from searching in the city in recent months.
Most of them were obtained from the market by earning a large amount of food stamps through transactions with the research institute.
Manpower, food.
These two are the foundation for the end of the world.
Li Ba has them all, and his inherent strength is enough for him to occupy a position in Xibu in troubled times.
From afternoon until dark, food and materials were continuously transported into the warehouse.
The employees of the entire Harvest Trading Company were extremely busy, and even the future backbones also joined the ranks to help unload the goods.
When the Harvest Trading Company was in full swing.
In the south of the town, the management committee building is brightly lit.
"What you are doing is destroying the existing order of the settlement."
"It's a joke to disrupt order.
You are issuing food stamps without restraint to make money.
In my opinion, your management committee is the culprit of disrupting order."
On the top floor, a large conference room.
Fierce quarrels kept coming from inside.
Here, the seven members of the management committee, representing the highest level of the government, are negotiating with the four most powerful forces in the settlement.
Liang Shaoping sat in the middle of the conference table, staring at the elegant-looking middle-aged man in a suit opposite him, gritting his teeth with hatred.
If he hadn't had any scruples, he would have wanted to take action immediately and kill the opponent on the spot.
"Shut up, everyone" Liang Shaoping, who had been silent all this time, spoke now.
He is currently the strongest person in the Xibu settlement, a fourth-level earth element user, military leader, chairman of the management committee, and the uncrowned king of Xibu City.
Suddenly, the conference room became quiet.
"Tell me what you want" Liang Shaoping stared at the man opposite him, who was respectfully called Lord Long by the survivors in the city, and slowly spoke.
"It's very simple, we need the evolution potion making formula."
Long Sihai spoke softly, with a faint smile on his face, full of masculine charm.
"Do you think it's possible?"
Liang Shaoping snorted softly.
This guy finally showed his fox tail, as he expected.
"There are more and more mutated zombies outside the city, and the threat to Xibu City is also growing.
Your officials can't be too selfish and monopolize the research results."
Sitting on the left side of Long Sihai, a burly man with a blue birthmark on the right side of his face was spitting and talking nonstop: "In order to defeat the zombies and for the continuation of human civilization, you must hand over the evolution potion formula for everyone to share."
"Qinglang, you Blood Wolf mercenary group has such a stinky virtue of bullying men and dominating women, but you still have the nerve to talk loudly here and tell me about human civilization and occupy the moral high ground.
Bah."
Standing behind Liang Shaoping, a handsome man The young officer retorted with disdain.
"Zheng Jun, you fucking want to be beaten, right?"
The man named Qing Lang stood up with a ferocious look on his face, staring at the young officer named Zheng Jun like a hungry wolf, without any fear of the identity of the other high-ranking military officer.
Qing Lang, whose real name is Yuan Kui, is the head of the Blood Wolf mercenary group.
He has four brothers from the same mother, all of whom are evolved with special powers, and are called the Four Wolves of the Yuan Family by the survivors of the settlement.
The four brothers have more than ten evolvers and more than 800 mercenary members.
They are extremely powerful, only under Long Sihai.

"It's up to you" Zheng Jun raised his eyebrows and wanted to take action.
"If you want to fight, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Liang Shaoping spoke.
Zheng Jun immediately stopped his momentum and stood aside respectfully.
At this time, Liang Shaoping looked at Qinglang coldly and said lightly: "If you Yuan brothers want to show off their power, you seem to have found the wrong person."
Qinglang was still wary of Liang Shaoping, snorted coldly, and sat down again.
"We came here today just to find a solution to the problem, and we have no intention of challenging the authorities."
A long-haired beauty spoke.
She is extremely beautiful, wearing a tight leather jacket, cool yet sexy, and speaks in a cold and emotionless manner.
In terms of temperament, he is somewhat similar to Han Xue.
"Miss Si is right, I agree."
Another middle-aged man agreed with a smile.
These two people are the leaders of two other large mercenary teams in the settlement.
The long-haired beauty named Si Jiyue is a wind power user.
She has a storm mercenary group with more than 300 people, all of whom are women.
They are also considered an outlier in the Xibu settlement.
The other one is Cao Bin, a person with fire powers and the leader of the Chiyan mercenary group, with more than 500 people under his command.
These two companies, together with Qing Lang's Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, are among the top three mercenary forces in the West Port.
Controlling more than thirty evolvers and thousands of mercenary members, he is extremely powerful.
The strength of the three of them plus Long Sihai's people is almost not inferior to that of the official.
This is also what Liang Shaoping is afraid of.
These forces have already joined together to help each other.
He was sure of destroying any one party, but the four families joined forces to have the strength to fight against the official, so he did not dare to make a mistake easily and break up with these guys.
"The evolution potion formula is very important.
Even if I agree, the research institute will never agree."
Liang Shaoping spoke.
The tone showed signs of softening.
He looked at Long Sihai and others and said slowly: "You should know Mr.
Su's temper.
My official relationship with him is just a cooperative relationship.
It is not a matter of superiority and subordinates.
He needs to nod."
“When the Xibu settlement was established, it was clearly stipulated that the management committee would represent the highest decision-making level.”
Long Sihai spoke, his tone still pleasant and pleasant, "As long as Major Liang and you nod in agreement, I believe there should be no problem with Mr.
Su."
Liang Shaoping listened, snorted softly, and replied: "As you said, the management committee is the highest decision-making level, and all decisions require a vote by the seven of us."
He slowly raised his right hand and added: "Now I will In the name of the Chairman of the Management Committee, the vote is announced.
If you do not support the disclosure of the evolution potion formula, please raise your hands."
There are seven people here, five of the seven committee members of the Xibu settlement, all from the military.
After Liang Shaoping raised his hand, the other four people immediately raised their hands to veto the motion.
"This matter is related to the rise and fall of the settlement.
Logically speaking, the four of us should also have the right to vote."
Long Sihai slowly raised his hand, and then said: "If you support the disclosure of the evolution potion formula, please raise your hand."
Qinglang, Cao Bin, and Si Jiyue immediately raised their hands.
It was also a vote, and they raised their hands in favor of disclosing the evolution potion formula.

Liang Shaoping frowned when he saw this, but did not stop him.
He turned his eyes to the other two committee members who had not yet expressed their opinions and said: "Commissioner Zhao, Commissioner Xue, what do you mean?"
"I agree with the disclosure of the evolution potion formula.
In the end of the world, only mankind can overcome this disaster by working together as one."
A fair, middle-aged man with glasses stood up at this moment, waving his fist and said impassionedly.
He actually turned against him, chose the right side, and supported Long Sihai and others.
"Commissioner Xue, don't forget your identity" A middle-aged man wearing a major's military uniform shouted angrily.
This person's name is Wang Feng, the captain of the Evolution Brigade and a member of the Management Committee.
Liang Shaoping's most trusted lieutenant.
"Commissioner Wang, Mr.
Xue is only responsible for his conscience and will not take sides."
The middle-aged man wearing glasses retorted righteously.
His name is Xue Ligui, and his identity is the same as Zhao Laifu.
He worked in Xibu Town before the end of the world.
After the settlement was established, he was elected as a member of the Management Committee due to his wide connections and also served as the director of the administrative office.
Among the seven committee members, he and Zhao Laifu did not belong to the military forces, and they usually interacted with Long Sihai and others.
At the critical moment, he stood up to speak for Long Sihai.
"Five to five, the rest depends on which side Commissioner Zhao supports."
Long Sihai spoke with a usual smile on his face.
He changed his tone and said, "Of course, the decision-making power is still in your hands, Major Liang.
If you veto, we have nothing to say."
His words were thorny and provocative.
Liang Shaoping listened and smiled lightly: "Okay, let's let Commissioner Zhao decide this matter."
The next moment, everyone in the conference room turned their attention to Zhao Laifu.
"My opinion"
Zhao Laifu spoke in an official tone.
When everyone thought that he would support the proposal of Long Sihai and others, this guy turned against it.
"The evolution potion is not trivial.
Once spread, it will have a great impact on the existing order of the West Port.
Therefore, I do not agree with making it public."
When Zhao Laifu shook his head and said these words.
Long Sihai's expression changed and immediately became gloomy.
But Liang Shaoping showed a knowing smile. s: Thanks to Shangguan and Fei Keyu for the reward, and continue to ask for support
