Chapter 408: A-grade Mission ( 2 )
Five minutes later, they arrived at Xun Che's office. After Wen Hanli knocked on the door, he said, "Commander, Captain Jin and Comrade Jiao are here."
Not long after, they heard Xun Che's voice coming from inside, "Come in."
Opening the door, the three of them walked into the room. Besides Xun Che, there were three people who were also present.
Seeing them coming, Xun Che stood up and said, "Jin Xuyan, Comrade Jiao, both of you finally returned."
Jin Xuyan smiled and replied, "We planned to stay for a few more days, but something came up so we came back earlier."
Standing on the other side of the low table, a woman reached out her hand and said, "Captain Jin, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Captain Feng," Jin Xuyan replied as he shook her hand.
The two of them only shook hands for two seconds before they let go and took their seats.
Sitting across from him, Feng Xiu glanced at Jiao Lizhi and said, "I had heard about your engagement, but I didn't believe it until I saw it today."
Jin Xuyan let out a chuckle and replied casually, "Well, my news is less shocking than the news about you returning to the military and even having a boyfriend. I thought that after you joined politics, you would never pick up your gun again."
Feng Xiu let out a sigh and said, "You know that I never wanted to join politics."
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan only smiled but said nothing. Watching them exchange words, Xun Che took a sip of his instant coffee leisurely.
After a moment, Jin Xuyan turned to his fiancée and said, "Ah Zhi, this is Feng Xiu. She is the Captain of the Red Falcon Team. Now, she is the Commander of the Yunshan City Base."
Jiao Lizhi nodded at her after she heard this and said, "It's nice to meet you, Commander Feng."
Waving her hand, Feng Xiu replied with a smile, "Comrade Jiao, I have long heard about you from my boyfriend. Today, I am finally able to meet you. You are indeed better than I expected."
Sitting on her side, Rong Qinyu said, "Captain Jin, Comrade Jiao, I'm Rong Qinyu. I want to thank both of you for taking care of my cousin, Rong Mo'er."
When they heard this, the two of them finally realized why they found this man looked familiar. Turns out, he was Rong Mo'er's brother.
"Rong Mo'er is a Phantom Team member, as a team it's a given for us to take care of each other," Jiao Lizhi replied with a smile.
After the pleasantries, Xun Che finally placed his cup on the table and said, "Since everyone is present, we can start the meeting."
As soon as he said this, Wen Hanli handed a folder to each of them before he said, "Everyone, this is the information sent back by the Eagle Team."
"According to their information, the situation in Jinwu City and Zhuji City is worse than what we expected. There are a total of three bases built by the military and government, and a total of 31 survivor camps built by the ability-users."
After a moment of pause, he continued, "The rough calculation of the number of zombies in Jinwu City is 75% of the total population, and 80% for Zhuji City. Due to the limited manpower, they were unable to collect the supplies."
"Captain Wei Ying already contacted some of the base and survivor camp leaders, and they agreed to move into our base. But with our current situation, we can't accept all of the survivors."
Hearing this, Feng Xiu looked at him and said, "So, you want my Yunshan Base to absorb part of the survivors."
She didn't use a questioning tone since she was clear on the reason why Xun Che had not yet agreed to her request. She was thinking that he wanted to raise the price. Turns out, he was waiting for her here.
When he heard this, Xun Che smiled and said, "Commander Feng, it would be great if you could accept half of the survivors. You know that my base just received more than 140,000 survivors from the Capital."
"With our current situation, even if we want to accept more, it is impossible. Not to mention that we have limited residences for everyone, we now barely have enough water," he added with a sigh.
Feng Xiu rolled her eyes at him and replied, "Stop selling your pity, I won't buy it. With Captain Jin and his team supporting you, you still have the face to say you are facing difficulties?"
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan shook his head and said, "I think you are overestimating my team's capability. No matter how strong my team is, it's impossible to solve the food and water shortage for the entire base if we accept more people."
"Captain Jin, do you have any solution?" Xun Che asked.
Jin Xuyan thought for a moment and replied, "It's impossible for us to accept everyone, so there is only one solution. They have to merge their bases or join hands to work together."
"With how tense the situation is in Jinwu and Zhuji City, I doubt those leaders are willing to cooperate, let alone merging their bases," Wen Hanli said with a frown.
"Whether they like it or not, they have to do it. The resources of Lin'an City are limited. If everyone keeps coming, we will run out of supplies sooner or later. Since they already built their bases there, they only need to cooperate with each other to collect the supplies," Jin Xuyan said.
"If they are unwilling to cooperate with each other, they can post a mission or recruitment notice to hire mercenary teams at our base to help them collect supplies. Our base will take 5% of the reward as the fee," Jiao Lizhi added.
Hearing this, Xun Che thought for a moment before he said, "I don't think there will be a mercenary team who is willing to take their missions. The danger rate in their cities is 35% higher than Lin'an City and Yunshan City."
"There is no mercenary team who will refuse a mission if the reward is good enough," Jin Xuyan replied casually.
