Wang Li's area was only an office building in the city. It was already a miracle that they could last more than a week after the apocalypse.
This place was not a development zone with sufficient resources, and there were no shelters around.
"Everyone, come out. Mr. Zhao is not a bad person. Our supplies are running out. I suggest you join Mr. Zhao's base. He has enough supplies."
Soon, dozens of survivors dropped their weapons and gathered.
He didn't expect to meet such a large group of survivors when he was planning to go back. The harvest was not small.
Wang Li obviously had a lot of say in this group of survivors, and he quickly convinced everyone to join Zhao Feng's camp.
"There are still many cars in the garage that can be used. I can get everyone to follow behind you in their cars. You can leave in ten minutes!"
"Alright, then tell everyone to hurry up and get ready. Take the rest of the supplies you have here with you. Don't waste them."
Ten minutes later, the fleet, which had nearly doubled in size, drove on the road to the development zone.
With Wang Li's group, the number of survivors that Zhao Feng brought back this time exceeded 200 people, exceeding the number of people who had completed the search mission.
Since Zhao Feng was curious about Wang Li and it was rare for him to meet a soldier, he invited Wang Li to sit in his car.
Furthermore, Zhao Feng had a very important question that he wanted to ask Wang Li!
It was about the military base near New York. Did he have any information about the base?
"Wang Li, you're a soldier, right? Why did you appear in that office building after the apocalypse?"
After hearing Zhao Feng's question, Wang Li answered while thinking.
"Yes, I was in military service, to begin with."
"But I happened to be on vacation at the time, and when I heard the news that the disaster was about to break out, I didn't have enough time to find a government refuge."
"So, I found an office building with a deep underground parking lot. Fortunately, there were some supplies stored in that building, which allowed me to survive until now."
Zhao Feng continued to ask.
"Have you heard of a military base near New York?"
"It's roughly in the northwest of the city?"
As soon as he said that, Zhao Feng immediately noticed that Wang Li's expression was nervous for a moment but then relaxed.
"Why are you asking this question? The military base is a top secret. Why do you think I would know?"
Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"It's just a guess. You just happen to be on vacation here, so I asked."
"It's fine if you don't want to answer. I can only tell you why I'm looking for this military base."
Then, Zhao Feng told Wang Li about the changes that Zhu Jun, the current manager of the shelter, might undergo in the future, as well as the suffering that millions of residents might suffer.
"If Zhu Jun gets his hands on these weapons, no one will be able to restrict his authority. By then, millions of New York citizens will be plunged into an abyss of suffering."
"Some people may even starve to death in the refuge. The reason I want those weapons is to overthrow his rule and redistribute the resources!"
Wang Li frowned.
"How do you know that Zhu Jun will become corrupted in the future? Couldn't it have been your own ambitions?"
Zhao Feng shook his head.
"There are some things that you won't believe even if I tell you. Why don't you come back to my base with me first, and then you can choose whether to believe me or not?"
Zhao Feng ended the conversation, even though he didn't get any valuable information from the conversation.
However, he was sure that Wang Li knew something about the military base.
Even if he didn't know the exact location, he had a rough idea!
This way, he could send people out to search for the location of the base and make a move before Zhu Jun!
The weapons produced by the underground city could not be compared to the standard weapons in the military base, so these weapons were extremely important to Zhao Feng.
After a day of searching, the number of survivors in the base had finally exceeded 1000!
After the 200 people that he brought back entered the underground city, Zhao Feng immediately asked Ding Yao to assign them to their respective jobs and quickly put them into production.
At the same time, he began to prepare his own plan. His ultimate goal was to overthrow Zhu Jun's rule and take over the various shelters near New York City!
A few days later, the new 200 people had basically adapted to life in the underground city, especially Wang Li. He had joined the security department and even had a position. He had started to train the new recruits for Zhao Feng.
Although he had only been in the underground city for a short time, Wang Li had already completely integrated into this place. Moreover, everything he had experienced confirmed Zhao Feng's words.
There was indeed no discrimination or oppression here, and the civilization and order before the disaster were preserved to the greatest extent.
On this day, Zhao Feng found Wang Li again.
"So, are you willing to believe what I said now?"
Wang Li nodded without saying anything.
Zhao Feng did not mention the military base but asked a question.
"I want to develop my own network and eyes in the government's shelter. What do you think is the best way?"
"As the saying goes, the strongest barrier is often easily disintegrated from the inside. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle."
"Only by obtaining information about the shelter will we have a higher chance of overthrowing Zhu Jun in the future. How about you give me a suggestion from your perspective?"
This time, Wang Li didn't refuse.
He said after thinking for a moment.
"I think the best way is to use material things to win over people's hearts, even if the government's shelter had a lot of reserve supplies before the disaster."
"But there are too many people in the government shelters. Even if there is a large number of resources, it will be diluted in the face of a larger population."
"So, if I'm not wrong, the government should still be very tight on supplies."
"According to what I've learned over the past two days, the underground city doesn't seem to be lacking in supplies, right? The material reserves here seem to be even more than the government's shelter?"
"By the way, how did you do it? You seem to have the ability to predict the future and have stored such a huge amount of resources here in advance?"
Wang Li couldn't understand.
It was too obvious that the underground city was deliberately storing supplies!
Zhao Feng said with an embarrassed smile.
"Haha, predicting the future is a little exaggerated. However, I did indeed realize the existence of the apocalypse in advance. Let's get back to the main topic."
"So the best way is to trade with the government's shelter!" Wang Li continued.
"We should play to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. Supplies are our greatest advantage!"
