Chapter 552: I Won't Give Up, I'd Rather Die Than Retreat

The most important supplies that members of the Landlord Alliance carried back from Mountain No. 50 were high-quality spring water, but only they knew about this, and the people in Territory No. 2 didn't know.

Zhao Ze was even more panicked. "I've heard Tang Huai say that the Sufeng Team recruited hundreds of refugees into Territory No. 2, but didn't provide them with sufficient food, so those refugees would form teams to go to the evolutionary forest to collect and hunt. When they passed by Territory No. 4, the look in their eyes when they looked inside made my heart feel hairy."

Shi Zuo also said, "They used to go to Mountain No. 50 to hunt and collect, but after Mountain No. 50 was designated as a restricted area, they could only go to Mountain No. 51 or Mountain No. 52, and they had long been holding fire in their hearts."

Qi Fu also said, "In their eyes, the few of us are soft persimmons, soft persimmons hiding a large amount of food."

"Most of our food is in the food storage warehouse of Territory No. 1..."

Before Zhao Ze could finish speaking, he was asked back by Qi Fu, "The supplies you carried back from Mountain No. 50 recently, did you send them to Territory No. 1? We didn't send them, and we even took out a lot of grain and vegetables from the food storage warehouse of Territory No. 1 the day before yesterday. Zhou Xun, who hides in the northern wasteland wall of Territory No. 2 and steals glances every day, sees these things clearly!"

"Isn't it almost New Year, everyone wants to eat something good..." Zhao Ze was even more panicked and instinctively looked at the strongest ally.

Xia Qing spoke. "If their goal is to snatch food, and there are enough people and sufficient combat power, the territories with the most food, Territory No. 1, Territory No. 8, and Territory No. 12, will become their first choice. If their number of people and combat power are insufficient, we will be their target."

There were quite a lot of them. So Territory No. 12 and Territory No. 8 might be their invasion targets.

Zhao Ze breathed a sigh of relief and worried about the important resources of the alliance. "Xia Qing, will the people in Territory No. 2 take advantage of the time when we can't leave the territory to go to Mountain No. 50 to search and discover the spring water in our valley?"

Everyone looked at Xia Qing.

The landlords would definitely feel distressed if the supplies in the territory were snatched, but discovering the spring water by the people in Territory No. 2 would be equivalent to shortening their lives and reducing production, which was equivalent to taking their lives.

"The defense on the valley side is tight, and there will definitely be no problems." Xia Qing was calm and added an important piece of information. "A period of time ago, the Territory Management Department sent people to verify the crop losses in the territory and sampled the crops and soil samples in everyone's territory. After they went back and tested them, they would find that the content of the trace element selenium in the soil in this area is relatively high, belonging to selenium-rich soil."

Hiss—

This news from Xia Qing blew the landlords up again.

"Selenium-rich soil?" Qi Fu's voice trembled.

"Yes." Xia Qing nodded. "Selenium is a trace element necessary for the human body and animals, which can enhance immunity and inhibit heavy metal toxicity. Before the natural disaster, the people living here had just invited an agricultural research team to test the soil quality and discovered that the soil here belongs to selenium-rich soil. Before the village could report this good news, the natural disaster began."

Shi Zuo slapped his thigh. "No wonder I felt my body was much better after coming to the territory!"

Kuang Qingwei's eyes shone with light. "Selenium-rich vegetables and grain, of course, cannot be sold at the price of ordinary food, we should raise the price!"

Yue Haiying didn't speak, but it could be seen that he was also very happy.

Xia Qing exploded with an even more exciting piece of news. "There is one more point: Third Brother tested the soil in the area where the green-light spinach grew in my territory, and the content of selenium in the soil is high, and the content of Yi elements is also high, belonging to high-Yi element soil. Crops grown on such soil have a lower probability of Qiang evolution than ordinary soil. Third Brother said that the soil where green-light native crops grow in each of our territories is likely high-Yi element soil."

Boom—

This news directly blew everyone up.

Zhao Ze jumped up. "Is the green-light alfalfa land in my territory also high-Yi element soil?"

Xia Qing nodded. "Third Brother said that your piece is also one, and other territories also have it, but it's a matter of size."

Spinach in Territory No. 3, alfalfa in Territory No. 4, green-light ginger in Territory No. 5, green-light yellow chives in Territory No. 6, green-light water celery in Territory No. 10...

Everyone living in the years of natural disasters understood what high-Yi element content meant. The landlords were overjoyed and discussed fiercely.

Yue Haiying was relatively calm. "In other words, the fact that we belong to selenium-rich land and have high-Yi element soil has already been known by the Landlord Management Department."

Splash—

This basin of water extinguished the landlords' enthusiasm again, and the atmosphere became tense again.

Xia Qing nodded. "Third Brother said that if people know that there is high-Yi element soil in our territory, they are very likely to shovel away the soil layer. So regarding the purpose of Territory No. 2's outing this time, I have another speculation, which is that they want to clear this territory area and re-select their own people to be landlords."

"Territory No. 1, Territory No. 2, Territory No. 8, and Territory No. 12, they definitely can't take away. If I guessed right, then when the beast tide passes, they will cooperate from inside and outside with the teams that haven't returned to the safe zone while Captain Tan and the others can't spare their hands, scaring our guts. Let us take the initiative to give up the territory and return to the safe community."

Give up the territory? Impossible!

Shi Zuo asked, "Territory No. 2 is the Sufeng Team, if they do this, will Deputy Mayor Tang also be held accountable and punished?"

Yue Haiying spoke. "Territory No. 2 can push this pot to the refugees, stand with us as victims, denounce the screening team, and by the way, replace the screening team with their own people."

Although they didn't want to believe it, everyone understood that what Yue Haiying said was the truth, and a fire of anger rose from the bottom of the landlords' hearts, even suppressing the fear.

Yue Haiying added, "Xia Qing mentioned two possibilities, I will add one more: the goal of the Liehuo Team is not the same as Territory No. 2. Territory No. 2 may want to clear this territory area, may want to deal with Territory No. 1 and Territory No. 2, and Liehuo's actions will be more intense."

"Liehuo is the number one team in the Hui 1 base, and its combat power is several times stronger than the Sufeng and Qinglong teams in our base combined. They suffered a big loss in our territory area, and they will definitely not give up this opportunity to find back their face and establish their prestige. With the style of the Fire Phoenix, their goal is likely to destroy this territory area."

They didn't dare to provoke Sufeng, let alone Liehuo, the strongest team in Hui City. Qi Fu also felt his liver tremble. "Brother Yue, should we report this matter to Captain Tan and the Territory Management Department and ask them to send more troops?"

Yue Haiying shook his head. "These are just speculations, there is no evidence. With the beast tide in front of us, the base will prioritize concentrating superior forces to protect the safe zone with 1.93 million people."

"Captain Tan also understands the current situation, so he didn't accept the defense application proposed by Territory No. 2." The current situation was very tense and urgent, so Xia Qing didn't talk nonsense anymore and asked directly, "Everyone also understands the current situation. If anyone is afraid and plans to give up the territory, you can leave now and withdraw from the Landlord Alliance."

"I won't give up!" Zhao Ze, who was still trembling with fear just now, was the first to stand up. "I don't want to go back to the life I lived before, even if I die, I won't give up the territory."

"Yes, even if I die, I won't give up." Qi Fu, Kuang Qingwei, and Shi Zuo also stood up, resolutely.

Yue Haiying stood up last, his face murderous. "Territory No. 15 is the home of our group of disabled people, we are the same as everyone else, I'd rather die than retreat." ===== CHAPTER 553 =====
