Today there’s another important meeting.

We’ll be discussing issues concerning the base’s outdoor greenhouses, indoor farms, and so on.

Li Yu got up at ten in the morning.

He had a quick bite downstairs and then headed to the meeting room.

In the base’s meeting room, He Chao, Third Uncle, and Second Uncle had already arrived.

Some others hadn’t come yet.

Li Yu sat and waited.

Ten minutes later.

Li Tie, Li Gang, and Uncle arrived.

Second Uncle was the first to ask, "Xiao Yu, according to our original plan, we are supposed to eradicate the Western Alliance. For this purpose, your Third Uncle is to go there for reconnaissance first. Is there a change in the plan now?"

Li Yu coughed and said, "Yesterday, Dapao brought in two captives, you should have seen them. One of them is Gao Ru, who just recently returned from the Western Alliance, and he’s the son-in-law of Gan Xiong, the head of the Western Alliance."

"He also mentioned some current situations about the Western Alliance. After the natural disaster, they were heavily affected as well, losing more than two-thirds of their people. Also, there are some internal turmoils within the Western Alliance. Originally, there were five factions, but....."

Li Yu shared the details about the Western Alliance that he learned from Gao Ru and Hai Chao.

"For several reasons, I think we shouldn’t bother with the Western Alliance right now. One reason is that the Western Alliance doesn’t know about our existence. Secondly, although heavily damaged, the Western Alliance is still strong. It takes several hours to get there, and the mountainous roads make it easy for accidents to happen, especially with the recent colder weather.

The third reason is that after capturing Gao Ru, the purpose of sending Third Uncle there is greatly reduced.

More importantly, the coming winter will pose a significant food challenge for them internally. Without us attacking, they might collapse on their own due to the food problem this winter."

After hearing Li Yu, Second Uncle contemplated and then said, "That’s true. Instead of wasting a huge amount of time, energy, and manpower to attack, it’s better to wait for them to collapse internally."

Li Yu glanced around and said, "I don’t need to emphasize the importance of food again. Due to the natural disaster, our late rice hasn’t been planted yet, and we don’t know what the situation will be next year.

So, as I said before, the plan for extending the greenhouses and expanding the cave farms must be made the top priority within the base." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Some extra staff’s points have already accumulated to the point of entering the Outer City. If they do, we must ensure a stable food supply, so I hope within a month, the greenhouses and indoor farms can be completed to start planting in November."

Second Uncle nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, I’ve emphasized this issue before, and now we are concentrating efforts on it."

Uncle hesitated a bit and said, "Xiao Yu, the weather is getting colder, and many brothers on the wall are still feeling chilly on duty. I think we can turn on the heating."

Li Yu hesitated, thinking about the Zombie Generator, and said, "That’s fine. Uncle, during your watch, keep an eye on the zombies around the base. Capture them. Xiao Hang’s Zombie Generator has made some progress and needs these."

Uncle nodded and said, "No problem."

Li Yu warned, "Be careful, ensure safety."

"Yeah."

"Another thing, Dapao. I need you to do something. Hai Chao and Gao Ru are now detained in the interrogation room, right?"

When Dapao heard Li Yu call him, he immediately looked up and said, "Yes. Wang Cheng is watching them now."

Li Yu said, "Although we interrogated them on the road, time was tight. Next, have Hai Chao and Gao Ru provide more detailed information about the Western Alliance and document it.

Also, have them draw the route map to the Western Alliance and its internal layout. Once completed, we can present it at the next meeting for everyone to see."

Dapao gladly accepted the assignment.

Li Yu nodded slightly.

Then he asked everyone, "Does anyone else have anything to discuss? Feel free to speak up."

Second Uncle suddenly said, "Xiao Yu, I think our current food production, fruits, and vegetables, are not deeply processed, so their shelf life isn’t long. Of course, I’m not talking about rice, which can be stored for a long time.

But I think if we vacuum pack them, they can last longer. Moreover, after processing, they will last longer, which the extra staff would also prefer."

Li Yu thought about it. They had done some work on this issue before.

There are also two small processing plants in the base, both for dehydrating vegetables.

According to Second Uncle’s suggestion, the plan is to expand the scale.

Li Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It’s feasible, but what about the equipment?"

Second Uncle replied immediately, "No need to worry. I saw several food factories on the outskirts of Xin City during an earlier trip. They’re still usable. They were just too cumbersome to bring back."

Li Yu found it manageable and agreed. "Alright, I’ll leave this to you. He Chao, Old Lv, help out when needed."

He Chao and Old Lv promptly responded, "Okay."

After discussing this matter,

Li Yuan, who rarely speaks, suddenly said, "Brother, I’ve been in the warehouse for long. Although nothing has happened, I think it deserves attention.

The warehouse is large, and although sealed, there’s some reserved grain that hasn’t been touched since Doomsday. I think we should find time to inspect it.

Also, there are two doors to enter the warehouse, and it’s zoned inside.

But I’m still worried about rats. If rats get in, it’s troublesome. So, I’d like to place some rat poison inside.

Also, if we have rat poison, we can let those few kittens in the base roam there for some time."

Li Yu was gratified by Li Yuan raising this issue.

It is indeed important.

He hadn’t considered the food safety in the warehouse before.

So he said, "Alright, Haoran and Haoxian, work with Li Yuan to solve this issue. If you need more manpower, let me know."

In the meeting room, everyone raised various hidden issues in the base, addressing them one by one and providing solutions.
