The next morning at 10 a.m., the camp leader groggily got out of bed and was startled when he saw the bright sunlight outside the window. He quickly tidied himself up and left the apartment, where he found a robot standing guard next to the apartment.
After explaining his purpose, the robot gestured for him to wait a moment and handed him a vacuum-packed food.
He looked down and was startled.
The vacuum-sealed package contained a sandwich made of sliced, long-lasting bread. He opened the package, took a bite, and discovered that the sandwich between the two slices of bread contained a filling made of potatoes, chicken breast, sardines, and peas.
He stood there, stunned, two tears sliding down his cheeks, his mouth still unconsciously chewing.
He only snapped out of his reverie when a boxy, silver-gray off-road vehicle silently appeared before him, accompanied by the robot's call.
"Sir, sir? Your car is here."
Hearing the robot's call beside him, he nodded, took a sip of water from the water bag at his waist, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then boarded the off-road vehicle.
Sitting in the back seat of this SUV, he was stiff all over, able to sit in the comfortable seat in an extremely upright posture.
Fifteen minutes later, the off-road vehicle carried him to the now drastically changed front line.
Led by a combat robot, he arrived at the command center of the forward position, where he met Lorraine and Platinum, who were both two meters tall and wearing power armor.
Facing this leader who remained true to his original aspirations even in the apocalypse, Lorraine removed his helmet to show his respect.
Now, thanks to the enhancement from the potion and the training from Platinum, his face was even more rugged than before.
The two leaders, both with square faces, stared at each other, except that the camp leader was much thinner and his hair had turned black and white.
Looking at the spirited young man before him, the camp leader sighed slowly and introduced himself.
"Ethan Kyle, former Red Earth Commonwealth grassroots agent."
"?"
Lorraine was interested in why he had become a former agent, but figuring out the situation of these survivors was the most important thing right now.
Lorraine tilted her head, signaling him to continue.
「这个倖存者营地一共有542人,拓荒队一共有71人,分为4支小队,每支小队的人数分别为15、16、19、20人。」
"There are a total of 87 sentries responsible for maintaining order, 64 men and 23 women."
"There are 12 skilled workers, 9 of whom are men; there are 61 farmers, 41 of whom are men and 20 of whom are women."
"The main food sources at the camp are potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and an edible cactus that is easy to propagate."
What is the crime rate within the camp?
"Under the forceful crackdown, only those with dirty hands remain."
Lorraine pondered for a moment, crossed his arms, scratched his chin, and asked him how the survivors in these camps were arranged.
At this, Ethan Kyle became much more alert, as he keenly sensed the question Lorraine most wanted to ask.
"There are only 12 sentries maintaining order during the day, while the vigilance is handled by the pioneering teams on rotation."
"The remaining sentries, together with the farmers, led those bipedal multi-purpose animals to forage in the soil."
"Moreover, the sentries on duty are not stationed in the camp permanently; their daytime duties are similar to those of the overseers."
Hearing this, Lorraine had to admit that the thin, middle-aged man in front of her was indeed a talented individual.
He actually saw a system similar to the Fubing system.
To confirm his guess, Lorraine extended his hand, gesturing for the other person to wait a moment.
"Do these farmers receive regular training?"
The other person shook their head and began to explain.
"It's more accurate to say these people are hunters who know how to farm rather than farmers. They farm to make a living and hunt to supplement their income during the off-season."
"They've survived to this day not because of the physical strength they developed through manual labor."
Upon hearing this, Lorraine looked at him suspiciously and secretly activated the shotgun hidden beneath the armor on his right arm.
Standing behind Lorraine, Platinum, using Lorraine's body as cover, had her right hand already resting on the large-caliber electromagnetic pistol on her right leg.
Ethan keenly sensed the change in atmosphere, and to avoid any misunderstanding, he raised his hands and explained why he had become the leader of the territory.
"My main job used to be dealing with conflicts between people in this area. I was removed from the position because I offended some people."
"It was thanks to everyone's trust that I became the leader of this camp."
Upon hearing his explanation, Bai Jin slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his right hand slid off the electromagnetic pistol, gently resting on the outside of his thigh.
"Commander, we've found his information. The file matches the information he gave."
Upon hearing Platinum's message, Lorraine nodded slightly, then extended her right hand and placed it in front of Ethan.
"welcome."
Seeing Lorraine's actions, Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly reached out to grasp Lorraine's right hand.
"However, just to be on the safe side, I need to confiscate all the weapons in the camp, and I also need that factory."
Ethan nodded frantically, indicating that he would actively cooperate with the work.
"However, you don't need to worry about your safety. We will collect information on all the pioneers, sentries, and farmers in the camp, and we will provide you with smart weapons for self-defense and smartwatches that can unlock the weapons."
"At the same time, smart turrets will be installed around the camp, and once supplies are plentiful, those who perform well will be provided with a single room of 20 square meters."
In reality, the shipyard workers who have arrived at Hongfeng Island are already living in 40-square-meter single rooms with private bathrooms, and they can also eat fresh vegetables produced by hydroponic farms. However, the only meat available is still canned food with an extremely long shelf life.
To enrich the diet, a starch synthesis plant and a plant-based meat synthesis plant are under construction, and it is expected that in another half month, everyone on Red Peak Island will be able to eat fresh noodles.
At this moment, Ethan was certain that these were the kind heavenly soldiers. Just as he was fantasizing about escaping his suffering here, he heard a very cold statement.
"By the way, I will provide you with sufficient military support, but we will not directly intervene in management."
Before Lorraine could finish speaking, he saw a look of utter despair on Ethan's face.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just that the thought of having to face those mentally unstable people makes me feel a little overwhelmed."
