With the government sanctuary facing an internal crisis, Zhao Feng cut the price in half.
But for the government sanctuary, there was no choice but to accept it.
For the first trade between the two sides, Zhao Feng directly asked for 5,000 people, and the price was half of the stock, 500,000 nutrition paste.
Although 500,000 sounded like a lot, it was nothing to the underground city, which had tens of millions of tons of material reserves.
In addition, with the production formula provided by the system, the cost of 500,000 nutrition pastes was extremely low.
After completing the trade, Zhao Feng immediately received a system notification.
"Ding, Master, congratulations on completing this black-hearted transaction. You have greatly expanded the population of the underground city at a very low cost."
"Master, now I'll reward you with a synthetic rice production formula and a simple house production module!"
Synthetic rice!
This was good stuff!
According to the system's usual style, although this rice was labeled as synthetic, the taste of the product should be no different from real rice.
It might even be better!
Rice is a good thing to improve life!
Although the underground city's warehouse also stored a lot of rice, these things would expire and go bad.
Therefore, before the restoration of agricultural production, rice would decrease. It might not be long before they would not be able to eat fragrant rice.
The production formula of synthetic rice solved this problem!
Zhao Feng was more curious about the simple house production module.
What is this? Was it to help him build a house?
But what was the meaning of this simple house?
With the harsh environment outside, it would be a big problem if the quality of the houses produced was not up to standard!
Of course, Zhao Feng would still choose to believe in the good stuff provided by the system first. He immediately took the elevator to the ground level and found a place with no one.
"System, take out this simple house production module!"
"Understood. Please be careful, Master!"
A feeling of time and space being twisted appeared. Then, a huge object appeared in the open space in front of Zhao Feng. It should be the simple house production module that the system mentioned before.
"Master, you can quickly produce a large number of planks for building houses by adding in raw materials."
"These boards are all of the same standards. They only need to be connected in the simplest way to build a house of qualified quality."
"Not only is it strong enough, but its thermal insulation is also excellent. It can meet the initial building needs in an apocalyptic environment."
"Master, I hope that you can use this technology to quickly expand the control range of the ground base so that everyone can have their own house!"
The house production module could mass-produce houses, and the synthetic rice could enrich people's daily food choices.
The system's reward this time was really considerate. Zhao Feng was very satisfied with it.
After two rounds of population exchanges, the number of survivors in Zhao Feng's underground city base had officially exceeded 10,000.
It had also reached one percent of the total population of the government's largest sanctuary.
There were too many people in the government sanctuary. Even if Zhao Feng had absorbed enough people, the difference in numbers was still huge.
At the same time, the authorities seemed to have found something.
Ever since the wave of condemnation of the higher-ups of the sanctuary appeared, Zhu Jun had been sending a large number of people to investigate this matter.
He wanted to find out where the rhythm was coming from and what made people think that he would drive out a portion of people.
Because he had never thought of doing this, it was obvious that someone was secretly setting the pace!
After a series of investigations, some clues gradually came together, and in the end, these clues all pointed in the same direction.
It was Zhao Feng!
"Director Zhu, it was said that a group of people gathered to discuss this matter, which led to people thinking that someone would be driven out!"
"According to the information given by the witnesses, those people were probably bribed by Zhao Feng!"
"We just found these people not long ago, and some unfinished synthetic meat and many other products from Zhao Feng's base were found on them! This evidence undoubtedly proves that Zhao Feng sent someone to set up this arrangement!"
"What do you think we should do? Do you want to stop all cooperation with Zhao Feng's base?"
The veins on Zhu Jun's forehead bulged when he received the news.
He couldn't tolerate someone causing trouble right under his nose. Furthermore, it was in his own base camp. This was simply preposterous!
"Looks like if we don't do a proper reorganization of the sanctuary, it won't be long before our entire sanctuary belongs to Zhao Feng's base."
Not long after, Zhao Feng suddenly received a piece of news.
"Director Zhao, I heard that Zhu Jun found out about us instigating the sanctuary residents to question the higher-ups."
Hearing this, Zhao Feng asked curiously.
"Oh? What did Zhu Jun do?"
"Recently, Zhu Jun had a private conversation with many higher-ups in the sanctuary. I heard that some of them were fired, and some of them were severely punished after the investigation."
"It seems like he has already started to purge the dissidents within the sanctuary. He wants to use this opportunity to firmly grasp the highest power in the sanctuary in his hands!"
After receiving this news, Zhao Feng calculated the time and thought that it was about time.
Perhaps in his previous life, Zhu Jun had also started to gradually become corrupted and degenerate at this time.
Through the information leaked by the spies in the sanctuary, Zhao Feng learned a lot about the recent inside story of the sanctuary.
For example, one of the higher-ups in the sanctuary revealed that Zhu Jun was a completely different person five days after the disaster.
This news shocked Zhao Feng.
In his previous life, he had thought that Zhu Jun would only become corrupted two months later. He did not expect that he had changed in just five days after the disaster!
It seemed like this person had been hiding too well. He had been pretending to be a hero to gain the support of the residents.
A higher-up of the sanctuary provided even more shocking news, including many pictures of girls.
"Director Zhao, I heard that Zhu Jun has used his power to force many young girls from the sanctuary to serve him!"
"The sanctuary has become jittery due to this incident. I'm afraid it won't be long before Zhu Jun's words completely rule the sanctuary!"
"We've lost contact with many of our informants recently. I'm afraid that they're already dead!"
Zhao Feng had not expected this.
