Inside the air-raid shelter.
Seven or eight tables were set up.
In the center of the tables was a hot pot, surrounded by plates filled with various meats, vegetables, and three or four kinds of fruit.
Fruit juice.
Maotai.
Various red and foreign wines.
Of course, cigarettes were indispensable.
Except for the air-raid shelter environment, which couldn't compare to pre-nuclear blast residences, the food and drink were even better than before.
It was rare for the main base to be so lively.
Qin Feng had given the order.
All members from the seven sub-bases who reached the rank of Captain were invited to tonight's banquet.
And so it was!
The higher-ups of the main base and the sub-bases were gathered together for the first time in a long while.
Members of Team One and Team Two found it quite normal.
They used to eat and drink together frequently.
However.
For those who were selected as high-ranking officials of the sub-bases as prisoners, these delicacies before them...
They were on the verge of tears!
How long had it been since they had a drink?
How long had it been since they had a smoke?
How long had it been since they ate even a single apple?
Before.
When they built their own bases, they didn't even dare to dream of such supplies!
And it wasn't just them.
Qin Feng had specifically instructed.
Tonight, all ordinary members of the main base and the seven sub-bases would have an extra meal, with partial supplies made available.
Of course, this was only for tonight.
In reality, given the volume of supplies in the dimensional space, even if everyone ate and drank like this every day, it wouldn't be depleted in a hundred years.
But Qin Feng knew that wouldn't work.
If supplies were too abundant, there would be no survival pressure, and no room for progress.
The banquet officially began.
Team One and Team Two ate and drank normally, while others devoured vegetables and fruits as if they were starving ghosts.
In the sub-bases, although supplies were guaranteed, they were only basic provisions.
As the leaders of the sub-bases, they could certainly eat their fill and stay warm.
Rice and flour were in ample supply.
Meat was also not lacking.
But!
Things like vegetables, fruits, cigarettes, and alcohol were almost never seen.
"Xiao Ying."
Qin Feng said softly, "Keep an eye on Shuke and Beita."
Last time, the Sea King led an army of seafood to land.
Many coastal cities were in panic, with zombies fleeing everywhere.
Some of them escaped to Yan Mountain.
Among them.
Two zombie kings were subdued by Qin Feng.
They were named Shuke and Beita.
With them as the core, more zombies were subdued, and a legion was formed.
Later on.
Qin Feng sent them to surrounding cities to subdue more zombies—especially zombie kings.
"Zhou Haiyang and Liu Pi have been sent to monitor them."
"That's good."
Qin Feng nodded and said solemnly, "Remember! Ordinary zombies are fine, but once new mutants are subdued, you must leave their scent!"
Preventive measures.
As long as their scent remained, they could not escape from under Qin Feng's nose.
A monk might run away, but his temple wouldn't.
"By the way! What about Kashyev... what's next?" Tang Xiaoying asked.
During this time.
Kashyev was staying in one of the sub-bases.
"Don't worry about him."
Qin Feng smiled. "He paid the reward, and I promised him shelter, that's all."
The entire base had over twenty thousand people.
A few more or a few less made no difference.
They had food.
They had shelter.
As for anything else...
Wanting crystals?
Dream on!
Hunt for them yourself if you have the ability.
Tang Xiaoying was the deputy captain.
When Qin Feng left.
All matters of the base would be under her command, as the two had taken the opportunity to communicate.
The banquet finally concluded.
Except for Team One and Team Two, and the leaders assigned to the sub-bases, the other high-ranking officials of the sub-bases were so full they could barely move.
"Everyone!"
As the banquet was drawing to a close, Qin Feng stood up and said, "From today onwards, two new regulations will be promulgated."
"All personnel in the sub-bases can challenge their direct superior."
"If they win, they will take over the superior's position."
Damn it!
Everyone was startled. 138 Reading Network
Positions were no longer fixed; they could be replaced at any time!
Of course.
Just as they could be replaced by their subordinates, as long as their strength was sufficient, they could also attain higher positions.
"Captain!"
One of the deputy leaders asked cautiously, "If we can defeat the leader, can we also..."
The vast majority of positions in the sub-bases were selected from among the prisoners.
Only the leaders.
Were appointed by Qin Feng from Team One and Team Two.
Last time.
Qin Feng had already made them understand that their status was merely that of prisoners.
They were well aware that they were different from the high-ranking officials in Team One and Team Two.
"Of course."
Qin Feng said indifferently, "Strength is paramount. As long as you can win, you can replace them!"
"Old Liu, what are you thinking about?"
Another deputy leader of a sub-base pointed at the man who had just spoken. "In your sub-base, the leader is Miss Han Ling. Are you sure you want to challenge her?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Han Ling.
Controlled time!
She was an almost invincible existence!
Let alone the sub-bases, even among the high-ranking officials of the main base, very few could defeat Han Ling.
"The second new regulation."
"As long as one reaches the Captain level, they will receive additional supplies each month, such as cigarettes, alcohol, cosmetics, fruits, and vegetables, etc."
After the initial period of adaptation, Qin Feng was preparing to implement a competitive system throughout the base.
To compete?
There had to be higher rewards!
"Long live the Captain!"
The high-ranking officials of the sub-bases were ecstatic.
Before, their food and clothing were the same as ordinary members.
Supplies were shared.
Now it was different.
The first new regulation instilled a sense of crisis in them.
At the same time, it also provided a path for promotion.
The second new regulation linked positions to material benefits.
Stronger strength.
Higher position.
Different material enjoyment.
I can smoke and drink, while you can only watch with envy.
The high-ranking officials of various bases dispersed.
One by one, they made up their minds to hunt more mutant creatures and obtain more crystals to improve themselves.
"Captain, we're leaving too." He Dong waved goodbye.
They were leaders in the sub-bases, and after eating and drinking, it was time to return.
"Wait!"
Suddenly!
Qin Feng stared at Han Xiao. "Are you going to pretend you don't remember if I don't ask?"
This little brat claimed to have comprehended a new ability.
And she wasn't telling him.
The condition was for him to stay at the base for one night.
But...
She still hadn't revealed what her new ability was, pretending to be foolish.
"No!"
Han Xiao blinked her large eyes. "You didn't ask when we got back, so I thought you weren't interested."
Qin Feng really wanted to slap her to death.
He remained silent.
He just stared at Han Xiao, his gaze like a lion spotting its prey.
Ready to pounce and devour it at any moment!
"I'll tell you!"
Han Xiao was startled and quickly said, "When dealing with the Honeycomb Fungus, my sister was in danger, and I comprehended it..."
Facing an onslaught of billions of spores, Han Ling used time stop.
However.
The targets were too numerous, and the total amount of energy was too great.
It far exceeded her capacity.
She vomited blood on the spot!
It was at that critical moment that Han Xiao surprisingly comprehended a new ability.
"You really comprehended it?!" Xiao Ruoruo's eyes widened.
She thought.
Han Xiao was deliberately lying to trick Qin Feng into staying at the base for a night, but she didn't expect... it wasn't a lie!
"Otherwise?"
Han Xiao pouted. "Sister Ruoruo, although I really want to help you, I wouldn't dare to lie to the Captain to help you, would I?"
"What do you mean by helping me?" Xiao Ruoruo blushed.
He came back to socialize with everyone.
To chat with his comrades.
To promulgate new regulations.
In any case.
Xiao Ruoruo would not publicly admit that Qin Feng had returned for her to sleep with.
"What is the new ability?" Qin Feng asked.
