As he flipped through the thick report in front of him, Lin An's expression became more solemn in the silence.
The information in the report was so shocking that the team members who knew part of the inside story did not dare to disturb him at this time.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Facing Lin An's solemn gaze, Chu An shook his head slightly:
"From what you see, the situation in the base is not complicated. Most of the real problems are around the war zone."
"There are many things. Before you are weak enough, even if I say it, it will only affect your state of participating in the trial."
"Instead of doing this, it's better to wait until you come back."
Putting down the report, Lin An nodded slightly.
He couldn't refute Chu An's words, but he didn't expect that as his strength and "vision" increased, the corresponding problems would become more complicated.
The two looked at each other, and Chu An spoke slowly and calmly:
"Lin An, as you can see. We have three main problems now."
"1. The problem of food and personnel quantity at the base."
"2. The spread of three major special events and the preparation for disasters one year later."
"3. The great changes that are about to occur in nearby war zones, or even war zones in other countries, and their impact on us."
"In addition, there are several hidden threats that we need to solve."
"And as the core, you must also improve your strength as soon as possible."
The atmosphere is heavy.
"Your current strength is temporarily ahead of the human side, but when it comes to mutants and various monsters, you should be very clear that level three is far from enough."
Nodding, Lin An signaled Colonel Chu to continue.
That's right, after he was promoted to the third level, he realized how huge the gap in strength was at each level difference between the third levels.
Not to mention the fourth level. Mutants are unreasonable, and their strength increases much faster than humans.
Seriously speaking, he has never actually fought against any third-order people.
The girl in red can only be considered a special third level, and she does not have the real combat power of a regular third level mutant.
As for the deformed giant corpse, you can’t kill that monster “by yourself”.
After a moment of pause, Chu An picked up a thick report:
"The first thing is the food issue."
"Based on the current reserves of the base, without external supplies, our food is only enough to last for 13 days. This has still wiped out most of the nearby granaries."
"There are too many people."
"Especially with the implementation of the Million Awakened Persons Plan, the consumption rate of food is far greater than the replenishment rate."
"The consumption of one awakened person is at least equivalent to 4-6 ordinary survivors. If you want to maintain training, this number must be doubled and doubled as the strength increases!"
Conservation of energy.
Lin An glanced at Xiong Hanzi, who was smacking his lips while sleeping, and knew that what Chu An said was true.
The awakened person consumes a huge amount of calories. If it were not for the fact that part of the physical strength can be restored during the process of absorbing spiritual energy, every awakened person would be called an eating monster.
"Assemble the supply team and search for supplies in the surrounding war zones?"
"I remember there are a lot of strategic reserves around Huanjiang, right?"
"Including growing crops..."
While thinking about it, Lin An recalled the situation in his previous life. The food problem in the image should not be too difficult to solve. He remembered that in the late apocalypse, industrial food could still be found in the city. He heard that cockroaches and earthworms were still being bred in some safe zones.
.
"Is it okay to cultivate artificially cultivated earthworms? I remember that they are very high in protein."
As if he saw Lin An's thoughts, Chu An shook his head slightly:
"Growing crops is difficult to do. We have tested in advance, and crops planted in the outside world cannot survive at all. Even if the disaster is temporarily stopped, whether it is psychic pollution or strong weather changes, it will cause destruction to conventional crops.
Strike."
"As for relying on material search for maintenance..."
"meaningless."
With a straight look on his face, Chu An quickly rolled out a piece of white paper and drew large and small circles and data:
"Lin An, you may have overlooked one thing."
"That's the negative impact the reward you received this time will have on the entire Chinese theater."
Hmm? Negative?
Lin An was stunned for a moment, then heard Chu An explain quickly:
"There are too many people who survived!"
"Lin An, the reward you received this time, whether it is the cessation of disasters or the increase of all attributes, will undoubtedly greatly improve the survival probability of ordinary people."
“The tipping point effect!”
"Now that the apocalypse has come, more than 60% of the survivors are still stuck at the boundary between ordinary people and awakened people. The emergence of rewards has caused this boundary to be broken!"
"This means that the number of awakened people will increase rapidly from this insignificant 1 point!"
"A large number of survivors who should have died at the hands of zombies will not die. Instead, due to batch strengthening, they will begin to obtain food that was originally unavailable on a large scale."
"The mutants that used to be incapable of killing even 1,000 people can now do it with 100 people."
"Shopping malls, cities, granaries... people will be like locusts, emptying out everything they can see!"
"Under the advantage accumulation cycle, this mere 1 point reward is enough to keep hundreds of millions of survivors alive!"
A large amount of data and formula deduction.
After more than ten seconds, Chu An slowly pushed the final conclusion to Lin An:
"According to the preview, the food in the three provinces of Wangjiang will be completely exhausted within two months without production."
"Attention, any type of food reserve!"
"As for the China War Zone, even if we return to the end of the world, any food reserves can be found without any loss or pollution..."
"In about three months, the entire Chinese war zone will have eaten up the last grain of food."
"At the same time, there will be more than 400 million new awakened people in the war zone, and the food consumption is equivalent to at least 2 billion awakened people!"
One word at a time.
Chu An tapped the numbers on the report and sighed:
"This is an irreversible disaster..."
"In fact, by the second month, fighting will begin between the war zones. People will eat everything they can find."
"Especially when there are many awakened people and everyone has a "gun", the largest "war" in human history will break out..."
Seeing the shocking report, Gao Tian and others were all shocked and wanted to say something.
"Then according to what you say, Captain Lin did something bad with good intentions!? Shouldn't we win first place?"
They asked in disbelief that they had thought about the food problem, but they never thought it would be so serious.
Facing the horror of Gao Tian and others, Chu An just shook his head slightly:
"The end of the world is inherently a cruel selection, the survival of the fittest."
"You should know one thing very well."
"For example, before the end of the world, if the global food supply is reduced by 10%, it will not mean that everyone can only eat 90% of the food."
"Instead, it will starve to death 10% of the world's population, or even more."
"I can't say that the reward Lin An won is a bad thing. I can only say that everything has two sides."
"If we can solve this problem and a large number of people survive, it will undoubtedly make us better able to face future disasters."
"But on the contrary, if it is not handled well, all of us will be dragged into the water."
The words were not explained, but a picture popped up in everyone's mind.
In the face of hunger, human beings behave more horribly than zombies.
That is the most horrific description of countless famine periods in human history.
When he was very hungry, he changed his son to eat.
