"The specific location, and what happened."
After confirming that the information from this second-level man was related to the Corpse Emperor, Lin An asked directly.
He also didn't expect that the clues to the Corpse Emperor were not among the zombies, but were instead related to a human sect.
Swallowing dryly, the second-level strong man who was being questioned looked at Lin An's suddenly solemn gaze, and no matter how stupid he was, he realized that what he just said seemed to be useful to the other party.
He suppressed the fear in his heart and hesitated:
"Are you asking about that cannibal gathering place?"
"I've been in contact with them, but..."
"But you have to promise me that you will help us after I say it. I know your military has this capability."
"We don't ask for much, just get some food or take us away."
His face was bitter.
"One month of food, the sweet potatoes we planted should be partially mature in one month. We have awakened people who grow food."
Lin An frowned slightly as he heard the other party talking to him about his requirements. A faint murderous intention flashed through my heart quickly, and was suppressed in an instant.
It's not enough to do this...
"It's impossible to have enough food for a month."
"Two million mouths means at least nearly 10,000 tons of food."
He replied calmly.
He simply ignored the sweet potato in the other person's mouth. Sweet potatoes are good, good varieties have high yields. But only at the moment of production, people will be disappointed to find that they cannot eat it at all. Otherwise, there would not have been a food crisis.
Regarding Qingshan's predicament, even if Lin An had thought about bringing him under his control before, he had never actually thought about directly supporting so many people.
The biggest problem with the Qingshan Safety Zone is that there is only consumption but no output.
To be honest, it is a mistake to squeeze so many people into such a small place. To put it harshly, the two million survivors are almost all "waste".
Take Long'an as an example. In fact, the food in Long'an is not rich either.
But thanks to sufficient psychic energy reserves and high node level. Just absorbing psychic energy can reduce some food consumption. Coupled with system tasks and going out to search for supplies, this is how we can survive.
To survive in the apocalypse, to just eat and not work is to survive. Even a strong safe zone cannot support so many people.
The population is converted into awakened ones, and the awakened ones obtain food and feed it back to the safe zone through a series of channels such as missions and dungeons. This is the only way to survive!
"You don't want to!? Half a month, half a month is fine!"
Seeing Lin An's direct refusal, several people were shocked, thinking that they asked for too much.
"I will give you a third-level node, but the requirement is that it be merged into the military region later."
"With nodes providing psychic energy, food consumption will be reduced a lot. In addition, I can transfer some food first."
Maximum concessions.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party really wanted to let more people survive, he would have taken action already based on his personality.
His face turned ugly for a while.
Bring in some food? Third-order node? They don't quite understand how significant the nodes are. After all, the node they occupy is only at the second level, which usually speeds up psychic recovery slightly. In their opinion, the conditions given by Lin An were almost nothing.
However, just when a few people were about to speak, Zhang Qiankun, who had remained silent, suddenly stopped his men.
"Colonel Ye, thank you for your help."
"I'm really sorry. Some of my brothers are not very sensible. Don't take it seriously."
Different from what a few people thought, the young man suddenly realized the value of the plan given by Lin An. In particular, he heard Lin An's subtext.
Ten days...merge...replace psionic nodes...
Isn't this just asking yourself and others to join the military? As long as they join, the military will not care whether they live or die?
After figuring this out, he simply didn't care:
"Colonel Ye, the nearest stronghold of the gathering place my brother mentioned just now is a breeding base to the west."
"There are wind turbines and a small river there, and the conditions are very good. At first we thought about exchanging supplies with them."
"Only after contacting them, we discovered that those people are completely crazy! In addition to cannibalism, they will also arrest survivors everywhere!"
"There are a few awakened people inside who are relatively strong, so we won't dare to contact them later."
Listening to Zhang Qiankun talking and marking the location on the map, Lin An nodded calmly.
Cannibalism and arrest? Corpse King?
Although the young man didn't realize that the other party was from a sect, Lin An knew.
With such a strange combination, a picture quickly emerged in Lin An's mind.
The devout human kneels on the ground, with the Corpse Emperor in human form above his head.
After offering the same kind as a sacrifice, the mutant sat on the throne, enjoying the "delicious food" with big mouthfuls.
Believe in the Corpse Emperor...worship a mutant as a god?
The clues connect together.
Although it is a bit unbelievable, it is quite possible.
After taking the map drawn by the young man, Lin An didn't waste any time and directly told Yuntian to stay here to deal with the follow-up.
........
Qingshan Au.
An hour later, Lin An disappeared and brought Xiong Hanzi to the gathering place mentioned by the young man.
Not sure whether the Corpse Emperor was here, Lin An did not choose to fly, so as not to alert the enemy.
Looking at the entrance of Huanshan Mountain, where the terrain was indeed excellent, he simply hid the presence of the two of them and observed carefully.
There are obvious fortifications at the entrance not far away.
Several towering sentry towers were built on both sides. There were several sentries on the towers with sniper rifles aiming towards the outside of the mountain.
On the muddy ground, staggered wheels and footprints spread all the way into the valley. Apparently humans here are constantly in and out of the outside world.
It doesn't look like anything special.
But Lin An was keenly aware of the anomaly.
There is no basic city wall, but there are a lot of tire breakers scattered on the ground. Generally, sentries responsible for vigilance will choose to have long-range awakeners hold crossbows or bows to avoid making too much noise when shooting wandering zombies.
But it's different here. All the defense arrangements here seem to be aimed at humans. It seems that there is no intention to guard against zombies.
"Captain Lin? What should we do?"
Under the compass illusion, Xiong Hanzi licked his lips and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Think a little.
After a moment, Lin An nodded slightly, and his figure instantly dissolved in the air and disappeared directly.
On the sentry tower, the sentry who was supposed to be on guard knelt down and clasped his hands together as if praying in a low voice.
"By the grace of the Lord, I hope you will grant me..."
The words are not finished yet.
Without him noticing at all, a dark figure suddenly appeared in the shadow behind him.
The next second.
"puff!"
"puff!"
Two slight pops in succession.
With his heart crushed, Lin An, who appeared like a shadow, slowly pulled his arms out of their chests with an expressionless face.
kill.
Ask the corpse.
...
"Who is your "god"?"
