Chapter 174: Territory Meeting

“Morning.” Qin Wu greeted in a peppy voice.

“Morning.” The gathered people greeted back.

After that, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu sat on opposite ends of the table and signalled for the meeting to start.

Seeing the signal, Uncle Zhang stood.

“The water issue has been resolved.” He started.

At first light, he went to the reservoir as usual, only to find that the dam was full.

Although he didn’t understand how Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu did it, he instinctively knew it was them, so he didn’t ask many questions.

’The base is blessed to have those two.’ He thought and continued his report.

“That said, we will still ask ability users to contribute water every week.” He said.

After all, the territory couldn’t just rely on Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu.

If it did, the two would be dragging around a heavy burden, and it would only be a matter of time before they grew tired.

“Remember to take care of safety.” Mo Chenxuan reminded.

He was worried about natural pollutants on one hand and saboteurs on the other.

After all, the territories had a harmonious relationship on the surface, but fundamentally, they were rivals.

“We can’t allow anybody to take advantage of us.” Qin Wu emphasised, and Uncle Zhang nodded.

“Don’t worry. We have taken adequate safety measures.” He said, but Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan still planned to inspect the reservoir occasionally.

“What else is going on?” Qin Wu asked, and Uncle Zhang swallowed before speaking.

“It’s expected that the zombie siege will start in less than half a month.” He started and quickly continued.

“Before then, I plan to let the old, young, and sick enter the stadium.” He said, and Qin Wu nodded.

“Our territory won’t tolerate cowards and lazy people. Anyone who is caught trying to cheat their way into the stadium will be immediately expelled from the territory.” She said.

“I understand.” Uncle Zhang said.

In the end, the apocalypse was not a place for patience and tolerance.

Considering that, neither Mo Chenxuan nor Qin Wu wanted to entertain able-bodied people who didn’t want to contribute to everyone’s survival.

After Uncle Zhang finished his report, Xu Fei stood.

“The territory’s supplies and crystal cores are stable. However, we are consuming more than we are earning.” He said, but everyone expected this situation.

After all, winter had just ended, and the base was currently preparing for the zombie siege.

Because of this, few teams and armies dared to venture out in search of supplies.

“What supplies are missing?” Qin Wu asked, and Xu Fei shook his head.

“There is a slight shortage of light clothes, but the clothing factory is taking care of it.” He said, and Qin Wu couldn’t help but be grateful that she and Mo Chenxuan had previously collected supplies from a textile factory.

“What about weapons?” Mo Chenxuan asked, looking at Xiao Junxie.

Seeing the look, Xiao Junxie stood, and Xu Fei sat.

“We have enough thermal weapons.” He started.

“As for crystal weapons, we have struck deals with the base, Human Alliance, and the Chu family. We are in a better position than other territories.”

Speaking of other territories, Mo Chenxuan narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

“How are other territories preparing for the zombie siege?” He asked, and Lu Yanyan stood to answer.

“Our territory’s intelligence network has been secretly observing other territories.” She started.

“So far, the base, the Chu territory, the Xuanyuan territory, the Human Alliance territory, and our territory have made the most complete preparations.”

“The Seven Clans, the Wei, and the Superpower Guild territories are the least prepared.” She said, and Qin Wu couldn’t help but frown.

“How unprepared are they?” She asked.

“There is a lot of infighting in the Superpower Guild and Seven Clans territories. They can’t agree on contribution and who does what.”

“What about the Wei territory?” Qin Wu asked, and Lu Yanyan sighed before speaking.

“The Wei family is reluctant to spend resources on defence.” She said.

Mo Chenxuan lowered his eyes when he heard this.

After all, the Wei territory and the Superpower Guild territory were their immediate neighbours.

If something happened in either territory, their territory would be forced to pick up the slack.

However, Mo Chenxuan didn’t want to be taken advantage of, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes when he thought of this.

’Wei family, Superpower Guild, you better take care of your business. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.’ He thought and turned to Lu Yanyan.

“Keep a closer eye on our neighbours. Don’t let them implicate us.” He said, and Lu Yanyan nodded.

“I understand.” She said.

After that, Lu Hao stood to give his report.

As chief of law enforcement, he was responsible for the territory’s internal security and rule enforcement.

In the few days since the territory opened, there had been countless fights about big and small matters.

However, everything was handled properly, and the territory’s internal security was not compromised.

In this way, several others, including Luo Zhan, reported.

However, it had only been a few days, and the research institute had yet to produce results.

When the reports ended, Qin Wu waved her hand, and a pile of books appeared in front of her.

After thinking about it, she and Mo Chenxuan edited each compendium into four versions.

The original version was for her and Mo Chenxuan’s eyes only.

This version contained sensitive information that could not be known to others for the time being.

In addition to the original version, the first edit was for researchers, the second was for chiefs and their deputies, while the last version was for the public and could be bought with crystal cores.

“Study these encyclopaedias and act accordingly.” Qin Wu said, waved her hand, and several books landed in front of each chief.

After receiving the books, the gathered people began to peruse them and couldn’t help but be surprised.

“This information will go a long way to aiding our research.” Luo Zhan said in an excited voice.

After studying the books for a while, the meeting continued, and at the end, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu informed the others that they planned to leave the base for a few days.

Fortunately, all the chiefs were capable and could properly manage the territory when the two lords were not around.

“This time, our main goal is to scout the zombie situation, but we will collect supplies if we encounter them.” Qin Wu said, and the others readily accepted her explanation.

The meeting ended at two in the afternoon, but since it was a little too early to hunt the cannibals, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu returned to their villa, intending to practice until night.
