Chapter 487 Etiquette (Add sugar to the water for the Silver Alliance Leader) (fourth update)
The next day, a small conference room in the center of the underground gathering area.
An old man wearing a blue robe sat on the council seat, and everyone was quietly listening to Jialan's report.
Jialan probably reported everything about the outsiders, as well as the preliminary conversation content, word by word to many elders.
“What do you think?”
Jia En (Jia Lan's grandfather) asked calmly.
"From the current point of view, these outsiders are still abiding by the rules. They are much better than the group of people who came before, but who can guarantee whether they have other ideas."
"Yes, you can't be careless. But if they are willing to abide by the rules, it is not impossible to accept them."
"It makes sense."
Jian raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"I heard your opinions, let's not talk about this for now. Jialan, how did you go out to explore this time?"
Jialan reported with a solemn expression: "The situation is not optimistic. We went up from the backup passage and ran into a large number of security guards not long after. It can be seen that the situation of Artificial Intelligence and Black Universe is getting more and more serious, and we are frantically eliminating it. Aliens, and the trajectory of activities has become chaotic, and now it has become very dangerous.”
After hearing Jialan's words, the elders present fell silent one after another, and everyone looked unhappy.
Garn nodded.
"You did a good job, but there is one more thing you need to do."
"You said."
Jialan responded respectfully.
"The people below reported that we don't have much food in stock. Coupled with the addition of many outsiders, the food gap has become even more acute. You can take some people to the abandoned factory to find some."
Jia En said calmly.
At this time, an old man next to him frowned and said: "Chief Jian, let those outsiders find food by themselves. Why do we have to prepare food for them?"
Jia En stood up slowly, glanced at everyone present with his cloudy eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Since we have temporarily confirmed that the other party has no hostility and keeping them here is equivalent to admitting that they are guests. Don't we, as hosts, entertain guests when they come? When did our Acer Empire become so devoid of grace and etiquette? .”
After hearing what Jia En said, many elders and councilors lowered their heads.
"Okay, that's it."
Ga-eun finalizes the matter.
On the other side, in the temporary camp, Su Mo stretched out and got up from the ground while breathing heavily.
Last night was the best night of rest for him in recent times.
But before Su Mo could stretch, Lin Ming came over.
"You're awake."
"Well, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"
Su Mo looked at Lin Ming doubtfully. He didn't know why, but every time he looked at Lin Ming, he always felt a sense of affinity.
Lin Ming whispered to Su Mo: "I just calculated that we don't have many nutritional bars left. Can you negotiate with Jialan and give us some supplies, even if you exchange them with food?"< br>
"This estimate is a bit difficult. As you saw yesterday, the children were all on the thin side. It was obvious that their nutrition was not up to par. And I feel that they still give priority to children, so the food here must be very tight. ”
Su Mo's head hurt when he heard Lin Ming bring up this matter.
"What should we do? Although we are safe now, we can't run out and look for food."
Lin Ming also felt that it was very difficult. He actually noticed what Su Mo said. If there is any other way, he will not take the initiative to propose it.
"Well, I'll try to negotiate with Jialan."
Su Mo also understood that Lin Ming definitely had no choice.
So Su Mo walked to the edge of the temporary camp and said to a patrolling guard: "Hello, can you help me pass a message to Jialan? I have something to talk to her about."
In fact, these patrol guards were said to maintain safety, and more to monitor Su Mo and the others.
It's just that everyone sees through it but doesn't say anything.
And in order to facilitate communication, they all have translation patches on their necks.
"Master Jialan has told you that you can move around freely. You can go find her yourself. She should be in the gathering area over there now."
The patrolling guard spoke to Su Mo in a gentle tone.
"Thank you."
Su Mo quickly thanked him.
Su Mo then ran in the direction pointed by the guard.
Since this place is not big, Su Mo soon arrived at the gathering area.
I saw Jialan gathering a hundred elite soldiers, all of whom were checking their weapons and seemed to be preparing for a mission.
"Jialan."
Su Mo shouted.
Jia Lan turned around and looked over, and was a little surprised to see that it was Su Mo who called her.
"What happened."
"It's a small matter, um, where are you going?"
Su Mo was also a little embarrassed to open his mouth, so he was going to say a few words first.
Jia Lan didn't intend to hide it from Su Mo, and explained straightforwardly: "The base is running out of food, and we are preparing to entertain you, so we plan to go out and collect some and come back."
"Isn't it dangerous outside now?"
Su Mo said subconsciously.
"It's impossible not to go out because of danger."
Jialan was silent for a few seconds and said.
"Why don't we come and help? I'm not bragging. Our combat skills are also top-notch. We are all elite and will never be held back."
Su Mo volunteered.
When other team members present heard Su Mo's words, they also looked at Jialan.
They quite recognized the strength of Su Mo and others. After all, they had fought in battles before, which was indeed impressive.
The most important thing is that the equipment equipped by this group of people is also quite good. Now they are indeed a little short of manpower. They go out to work all year round, and the disability rate among them in their prime is very high.
It would be great if there was help, but no matter how much they longed for help, none of the team members present said a word, and just looked at Jialan silently.
"Okay."
Jialan finally agreed.
"Just wait, I'll gather people right away."
Seeing that Jia Lan agreed, Su Mo turned around and ran back.
Nothing builds friendship better than fighting side by side, not to mention that the other person is out looking for food because of them.
I have to help no matter what.
Soon Su Mo ran back to the temporary camp.
Lin Ming immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"How was it?"
"I just went to find Jialan and found that they were preparing to go out to collect food in order to prepare food for us. So I took the initiative to invite Ying to participate. What do you think?"
Su Mo briefly explained the matter.
Lin Ming and others were also stunned when they heard Su Mo's words. Although they had already guessed that Jialan and the others were in short supply of food, they did not expect such a shortage, and they even planned to find food for them.
"What's there to say? You must participate!" (End of Chapter)
