Chapter 9

"Don't be in a hurry to say those things. I am quite curious; isn't there a political commissar in the company? Also, why is this company located in this city? It certainly wasn't sent by the military district, was it? Can you elaborate on the details inside?"

Li Chunyuan squinted his eyes again and asked, "Do you have enemies? Is it the Zhang family?"

When the leader spoke, it was somewhat surprising; he had a southern accent from SC Province rather than being a local northerner. The starving crowd, regardless of whether he was the leader or not, naturally did not obey and instead surrounded him even more tightly. However, the leader was not foolish; he glanced over to the side of the driver's cabin and quietly asked Zheng Li, "Is this the only truck of grain we have?"

Zheng Li opened her mouth to speak, but then stopped herself: "Kid, have you guessed something?"

But it was already too late; the people in several gathering areas had seen the returning trucks and rushed in cheering: "We are saved! There is food!" The entire gathering area was instantly in an uproar, with a tremendous wave of sound forming almost immediately. Groups of people ran to the entrance within a minute, even bringing bags, baskets, lunch boxes, and bowls, all looking at the military trucks filled with food with hopeful eyes.

"Not so great." Zheng Li smiled and said, "I admire capable people, and I also appreciate those who are bold. The conditions remain the same; you can enjoy the same treatment as I do, but you need to assist me in the gathering area. What do you think? https://

Zheng Li nodded and said, "You are not wrong, so I will give you a hint. The total number of soldiers and armed police is about 300, and with the addition of the police maintaining public order, it is nearly 400. The gathering area has a total of several thousand people, essentially comprising all the surviving individuals from City A"

Li Chun raised an eyebrow and said, "A few hundred people dare to call themselves a group? The military system has actually collapsed, hasn't it?"

Indeed, it is a place not far from the river, where the surrounding zombies have been completely cleared. Inside, there are some earthen buildings that appear to have once been a small village. Outside, there is a low wall roughly piled up with dirt. Upon reaching the main gate, four or five soldiers are patrolling. As the truck comes to a stop, Zheng Li leans out and calls out: "Xiao Wang! Go and fetch the regiment commander, I have found food!"

Zheng Li gasped: "You can see this much; indeed, my choice was correct, and you can provide me with great assistance." Turning around to flip through several documents, Zheng Li added: "The estimated grain is still twenty-one tons; it will only increase, not decrease."

Is this something to guess? The reason that thousands of people escaped is naturally due to the dense population and the numerous zombies. The gathering areas must be far from the urban area and close to clean water sources, so what is there to guess?" Li Chunyuan looked at Zheng Li, "But you, woman, could you address me differently?"

Zheng Li left ten soldiers to guard the grain processing plant, woke up Li Chunyuan, who was with his eyes closed, seemingly either asleep or deep in thought, and took a few soldiers to escort him. Zheng Li was the driver, and Li Chunyuan sat beside her as the open-top truck started and departed from the grain processing plant

Upon hearing this, four or five soldiers cheered, "The political commissar has found food!" Zheng Li quickly silenced them, exclaiming, "Don't shout! Is there no discipline?"

Zheng Li smiled and stepped forward to grab Li Chunyuan's arm, observing his reaction and laughing heartily: "Oh woman, as if you were a man, clearly just a young lad."

Zheng Li was somewhat curious: "Aren't you curious why only a few thousand people escaped from City A, which has hundreds of thousands of residents? Don't you want to ask about the location of the gathering area?" Li Chun looked at her and replied: "Hmm"

Since you wish to work together with me, you should first show some sincerity. How many people are in the army? How many people are in the gathering area? What is the situation like?" Li Chun said calmly, his expression unchanged.

"Nonsense! I won't be back today; tomorrow someone will have to eat someone else!" Zheng Li weakly released the steering wheel, slumping back in her seat, unsure of what to do. She was most aware of the terror of this situation and understood that if someone incited a word, she would likely turn into minced meat, so she didn't even have the thought of getting out of the car to argue.

Zheng Li exclaimed, "What does 'Hmm' mean? You, https://m.hetushucomcom, this guy is still my subordinate, so you better correct your attitude." Of course, her words were said in a half-joking manner.

Zheng Li did not mind and said with a smile: "The gathering area is not a place of peace, nor is it the kind of united effort you imagine. It is hard to say who the enemy is, but the Zhang family, which has been a bloodsucker in the past and continues to be one now, is the one I detest the most, without a doubt. As for me, I actually have no real power. This time, being pushed out by them to search for food is somewhat akin to courting death. Therefore, I need to develop some influence to prevent them from pointing fingers at me in the future and making me a scapegoat."

You seem to not need my assistance, as I cannot match any trained soldier. Li Chunyuan did not rush to agree, but instead watched as Zheng Li entered Director Huang Laosan's office.

Countless zombies lined the way, and the sound of the truck was deafening. Zheng Li pushed the speed to the maximum, driving for two hours, first on small roads, then on highways, followed again by small roads and highways. After such repeated back and forth, she finally arrived at the gathering area

"Therefore, your name is Huang Wanhao, and Li Chun is merely your alias. This way, I can justifiably seek a benefit for you," Zheng Li explained with a smile.

Li Chun was neither surprised nor flustered, a glimmer of killing intent flashing in her eyes: "So what?"

Li Chun's voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it surprised Zheng Li even more: "Who exactly are you? Your guess is basically correct; this is a company that has mostly remained intact since the incident, and now only two hundred and eighty people are left. I joined later and actually belong to the armed police system, so I am not clear about the original mission of this company. In any case, we have all come together under a common banner to maintain stability among the people; in fact, those who understand a bit know the truth." I joined later and actually belong to the armed police system, so I am not clear about the original mission of this company. In any case, we have all come together under a common banner to maintain stability among the people; in fact, those who understand a bit know the truth.

Zheng Li shook her head speechlessly: "Your face is not red, your heart is not racing, have you really never experienced a woman before?"

Oh, I see. Li Chun responded with a sound and fell silent thereafter

Li Chunyuan took a look at it and saw a business card: "Huang Wanhao, Director, General Manager, and Chairman of Hongyun Grain Processing Plant." Holding this absurd and laughable business card, Li Chunyuan calmly asked, "So what?"

Zheng Li exclaimed, "I just thought you were dull, but I didn't expect you to be so frighteningly perceptive. This is just right; I will ask you once more, are you willing to help me?" Li Chun coldly replied, "Do I have any other options now?"

Li Chun's voice remained calm: "What? Do you want me to offer you my first time?"

"Bored." Li Chunyuan found a chair and closed his eyes to rest. Seeing him like this, Zheng Li no longer gossiped and went downstairs to arrange for the soldiers to load the grain onto the cart. The soldiers were all strong and robust, working swiftly and decisively, and within less than an hour, they had already finished loading the cart.

Li Chun Yuan frowned and said, "Alright, even if I am interested, go ahead and say what you want to say."

Li Chun was slightly surprised: Is there really this much? Those two cylindrical grain bins don't look like they hold much, yet they contain over 10,000 jin of grain. However, his concerns were not focused here, but rather on other matters.

"A trained soldier would not be able to clear an entire factory of zombies. Yet you managed to pierce the head of that large zombie with your weapon. Your strength is no less than that of Zhang Laoxiao, and you must also be skilled in martial arts." Zheng Li was rummaging through the documents and items in Huang Laosan's drawer when she casually pulled out a business card and tossed it to Li Chunyuan. "This is what you really need."

Li Chun squinted and said, "It seems that everyone is quite hungry"

"Inadequate to accomplish anything, yet more than sufficient to cause failure!" Zheng Li glared hatefully at the four or five soldiers in the dense crowd, gritting her teeth as she spoke. A group of people surrounded them, all extremely hungry; dare you say you won't provide food, and they might just eat you! "This time, it seems trouble is inevitable!"

Zheng Li whispered, "This is only over 2 tons, and there are still more than 10 tons left." The regiment commander’s eyes lit up: "This makes things easier!" He turned to the increasingly large crowd and shouted, "Everyone, do not panic, do not rush. Today, I will distribute the food to you all!"

"Make way! The leader is coming!" someone shouted, and a few people in the crowd parted to create a path. A middle-aged man with a dark complexion walked out with his chest held high: "What are you all doing? Disperse! Disperse!"
