Xu Tianguo looked at the high-ranking officials present and pondered in his heart. He said to Ye Chen in a low voice, "Currently, we have enough food to last for a year. However, the remaining three hundred thousand people don't have enough food. I'm afraid that there will be trouble …"
Ye Chen nodded. "That's for sure. We'll talk about it later."
During the Ice Age, it was not uncommon for civilians to riot. Without food, they could do anything. When the time came, force would not work. They would have to think of other ways.
Xu Tianguo was holding a document. He looked at the crowd and said, "Thank you for your hard work. According to the Research Department, there has been a lot of activity in the Earth's crust. In two or three years, there will be a volcanic eruption. When that happens, the Earth's continental plates will be reorganized. Therefore, the flood will not subside until two or three years later.
The base city does not have enough food. For the sake of the long term, I hope you will not be wasteful. "
"Two or three years?"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They had thought that the flood would flow to a lower altitude. They did not expect that it would last for two or three years.
Did that mean they would not be able to go out for two or three years?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder. Their expressions became gloomy as they felt the importance of food.
"Humph!"
A young man in the left corner snorted and said arrogantly, "A bunch of bumpkins. You think two or three years is too long?
Many prehistoric civilizations were destroyed by the flood, just like us. The flood lasted for tens of millions of years. Now, it's only been two or three years. You think it's too long?
Idiots! "
Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the young man. He could not help but be surprised. He knew this young man. In his previous life, he was a famous warrior in Huaxia. His name was Hua Chao. He used a broadsword and made a name for himself. He was only second to the top ten genetic warriors. Ye Chen did not expect such a talent to have been recruited to Guang Ming Base City.
Ye Chen thought about it and felt relieved. He had given Xu Tianguo the information of many powerful warriors in China. With the prestige of the Guang Ming Base City, it would not be difficult to recruit them.
"Hua Chao!" Xu Tianguo frowned and scolded, "The internal staff must be united!"
Hua Chao glanced at him, and his expression became much more restrained. He snorted lightly, but didn't say anything else.
This subtle expression meant a lot. Ye Chen could not help but look at Xu Tianguo. Ever since he handed the Guang Ming Base to this man, he had not paid attention to it. To tame a genius evolver like Hua Chao, power and status were not enough....
"It seems that Xu Tianguo did not neglect himself. to manage the base city.
Ye Chen couldn't help but feel satisfied. In fact, he didn't know that there was a large group of geniuses recruited by the base city. They were all evolvers at the beginning of the apocalypse. Every month, the virus in their bodies would transform, increasing their physique. No matter how bad their lives were, even if they didn't eat genetically modified meat, they were still better than ordinary people.
Therefore, these people had bad tempers.
As the manager, Xu Tianguo naturally had a headache. Under such circumstances, he didn't dare to neglect his own power. Otherwise, if Ye Chen handed over the base city to him and his subordinates rebelled, he would be in an awkward position.
"Hua Chao, who are you calling a country bumpkin?" A girl in green said unhappily. Her words were filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Hey!"
A middle-aged man beside him sneered, "Hua Chao is a young master. It's normal for him to not like us, who used to be commoners and butchers."
"Everyone, quickly apologize to Eldest Young Master." A young man at the side chimed in.
Hua Chao glanced at them and said coldly, "A bunch of bumpkins. Childish!"
"Who are you talking about?" A strong man was furious. Obviously, he hated Hua Chao and looked at him angrily.
Suddenly---
A cold snort was heard. The whole meeting room became quiet. Everyone turned to look at Ye Chen.
Xu Tianguo saw the coldness in Ye Chen's eyes and thought to himself, "Oh, no."
Ye Chen leaned back in his chair and looked at the spacious meeting table. His voice was calm and emotionless. "I don't care who you are, but once you're in the guild, you have to follow my rules. If anyone wants to violate my rules in my territory, it's best for you to leave."
These plain words fell into everyone's ears, causing the meeting room to fall silent.
Xu Tianguo, who was at the side, secretly exclaimed. He never thought that Ye Chen, who had always been a man of words, could actually say such words. He did not favor Hua Chao, nor did he attack the others. Instead, he used the simplest method to raise everyone's status to the same level, and then suppressed them all together!
The strong man sat down embarrassedly and did not dare to say anything.
After that, Xu Tianguo announced some things and all the departments carried it out. Everyone looked at Ye Chen with more respect. If it was a strong Guild Master, they would think that they could play around with him. But if it was a wise Guild Master, it would not be so easy to deal with.
After the meeting adjourned, Ye Chen handed over some matters and left by himself. He returned to his cultivation place and began to cultivate.
"The weather is not cold yet. It's not suitable to leave the ruins to hunt. I'll try my luck outside after the world's seawater freezes. But by then, even the sea monsters will be rare. In such a cold world of ice and snow, only a few monsters can survive."
Ye Chen made up his mind and began to cultivate.
Without the base meat, he could only rely on various fitness techniques to train his body. But the effect was minimal.
Ye Chen cultivated his energy while practicing his combat skills.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
Three months were like a day. Ye Chen devoured the energy in the air crazily every day. He rarely left the training room. Occasionally, when he was tired, he would get up and leave to eat and drink with his sister, the White Dragon, and the others.
After such a long time, the White Dragon and the others' Constitution had reached over 2000. With the Black Nightmare Bug army, it was extremely easy for them to hunt high-level monsters. Therefore, their speed of improvement was very fast.
After this period of cultivation, Ye Chen's combat skills had become more adept. Although his Constitution did not change, his combat skills had increased by a lot.
The only pity was that his energy was still stuck at the bottleneck of Rank 10.
During this period, Ye Chen counted his resources and was pleasantly surprised. He found out that among the 12 civilization ruins that Xu Tianguo had obtained, there was a Rune Repair Device!
This Rune Repair Device came from the Rune Civilization and specialized in repairing broken runes.
With the Rune Repair Device, Ye Chen's Runic Spaceship could be activated. However, to activate the Rune Repair Device, it required a lot of energy. Fortunately, there was the Energy Tree, so everything went smoothly.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen opened the Rune Space. Inside was a brand-new Runic Spaceship. It was glowing brightly and emitted waves of spiritual energy. There were faint runes on the surface, and it was extremely beautiful.
"Wow …" The old Green Rune Man jumped out of the spaceship and looked at the spaceship. He was so excited that tears streamed down his face. "It's finally repaired, my old friend. Sob sob, I never thought that I would be able to see you repaired after billions of years!"
Ye Chen knew the power of this spaceship. The main cannon could kill level 5000 monsters, and the smaller cannon could kill level 1000 monsters!
In the early days, he had used the smaller cannon to kill swarms of bugs.
To him now, this spaceship was not very useful other than a means of transportation. Therefore, he was not too happy about it.
The old Green Rune Man was very experienced. Seeing Ye Chen's calm expression and lack of interest, he could not help but be angry. "What, are you looking down on my old friend?"
Ye Chen said calmly, "A little."
The old Green Rune Man was enraged by Ye Chen's words. His eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth. "You'll regret this. Do you think that you don't need this spaceship now that you've grown up?
Hmph, I'll tell you the truth. After this spaceship's runes were repaired, they were connected as one. Its power has increased exponentially. It's ten times more powerful than before! "
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "What ten times?"
The old Green Rune Man looked at him and said arrogantly, "Seeing that you're so sincere in learning, I'll be merciful and tell you. The spaceship was in a damaged state before, and the cannon could only barely unleash its power. Now that it's been repaired, with the help of the Amplification Rune, Acceleration Rune, and other runes, the cannon's power is ten times more powerful than before. Moreover, it can kill Ghost Celestials!"
"Oh." Ye Chen understood.
The old Green Rune Man waited for a moment, but he did not hear anything else. He could not help but be angry. "What do you mean by 'oh'? Are you looking down on me?"
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "It's alright."
The old Green Rune Man roared angrily, "What do you mean by 'alright'? You, you, you, you …"
Ye Chen immediately closed the space. He casually picked up the tea beside him and drank it in one gulp. Earlier on, he had been puzzled. The runic spaceship's offensive power was not high, so how could it have such a high-end intelligent life form that knew how to cheat and cheat? It was just like a human. Now, it seemed that only the repaired spaceship was barely worthy of such a life form.
"Fifty thousand … is not high."
Ye Chen did not think much of it. "If the main cannon could unleash a destructive power of five hundred thousand, it would be more like it. It could even kill a Demigod expert instantly!"
"Of course it can!"
The old Green Rune Man's voice suddenly rang in Ye Chen's mind. "The destructive power of this' Flowing Moon 'spaceship at its peak could kill a Demigod expert. Otherwise, under the pursuit of those prehistoric monsters, other than the runes, how could the spaceship not be damaged at all?"
Ye Chen's state of mind was strong, and he was not frightened by the sudden voice. He said calmly, "Don't brag."
The old Green Rune Man seemed to have been stabbed in his sore spot. He jumped up and said crazily, "Who said I'm bragging? I never brag!
You actually dare to look down on 'Flowing Moon'. You, you, you, you … Hmph, this' Flowing Moon 'is made of meteorites from outer space. It's extremely hard and can withstand extremely strong explosive power. As long as you can get a Demigod level strength rune and inject it, the spaceship can kill a Demigod expert! "His voice was filled with arrogance.
Ye Chen said casually, "Is a Demigod level rune easy to find?"
The old Green Rune Man said without hesitation, "Nonsense!
Of course it's not easy to find. "
After saying that, he realized that something was wrong. He quickly shut his mouth and said angrily, "Who said it's not easy to find? As long as it's in a level-6 runic city, you can get it!"
Ye Chen rolled his eyes.
A level-6 runic ruin?
He knew of two. One was in North America, and the other was in Australia.
Not only were they far away, but they were also well-preserved. The difficulty of entering them was far greater than the level-6 ruins of the Fire Civilization and Atlantis, which were also level-6 ruins.
Those who had not reached the Ghostly God realm would be courting death if they entered the ruins.
Just the energy attacks and Ghostly Qi corrosion inside were enough to make anyone below the Ghostly God realm despair.
