Immortal in The Apocalypse

Hearing Chen Jie’s rejection, Mao Yan clenched his hands and said nothing. After a long silence, an old general asked, "How about we hire supernatural beings to help us defend the base?"

Upon hearing this, Pan Liangqing said, "I’m afraid this is impossible."

Before the old general could ask why, she continued: "We don’t even have enough supplies to feed our people. Where can we find more supplies to pay for these supernatural beings to work for us?"

After a long silence, Mao Yan looked at Han Dinghe and asked, "Professor Han, how is the progress of the crops? Will there be a good harvest this time?"

Han Dinghe shook his head and said, "It’s a pity to say that although the quality of the seeds is very good, because we can only use hydroponic systems to grow, the harvest results are not as good as we expected. In addition to the lack of minerals in the water, we also lack the energy to create artificial light for crops. These two factors alone have reduced harvests by more than half."

After hearing his explanation, Mao Yan sighed and said, "Since we can’t hire supernatural beings to defend the base, we have to let the people know the current situation and let them make their own decisions."

As soon as he said this, everyone present unanimously persuaded him to change his decision. After an hour of intense debate, Mao Yan rubbed his brows, raised his hand to stop them, and said, "That’s enough. Announce the news as soon as possible, and let them decide for themselves."

After saying that, he looked at the people sitting around the table and said solemnly: "If any of you want to leave, you can get some supplies from the supply division. Consider this as my thanks for your service."

He turned to look at Zheng Yimu and said, "Captain Zheng, I will leave this matter to you."
