Chapter 3438: Not Much Food Left

"Chief Lu Lan doesn't know. In fact, my research has entered a bottleneck period recently!" Professor Zhong said calmly.

As the leader of Hope City, Lu Lan has had contact with scientific researchers like Professor Zhong before, so of course she understands what the bottleneck period is.

"Do we still need to rely on Xiaozhi to find food? This is not a long-term solution!" Lu Lan said worriedly.

At this time, Xiaozhi seemed to be caught between Lu Lan and Professor Zhong. He did not feel entangled, but felt that reality was cruel.

Before Professor Zhong opened his mouth to answer Lu Lan's question, Xiaozhi said firmly: "Don't worry, as long as I, Xiaozhi, are needed, I will definitely do my best!"

Lu Lan looked at Xiaozhi with a strange look, feeling that both herself and the citizens of Hope City felt sorry for him.

If there weren't so many people dragging him down, Xiaozhi's life would definitely be much better than it is now.

"Xiaozhi, when it comes to this issue, I am really ashamed of you. I don't even know what attitude I should use to face you!"

As soon as Lu Lan finished speaking, she lowered her head and kept looking at the floor. The floor of Professor Zhong's laboratory was already blurry.

The main reason is that Professor Zhong is deeply troubled by the bottleneck period, so when he has nothing to do, he will keep walking around the research room.

After walking around for a long time, the originally smooth and clean floor will naturally gradually become blurred and lose its once bright color.

"It's okay. I know what Lu Lan is worried about. Don't worry, I believe the subordinates around me won't say anything about right and wrong!"

The reason why Xiaozhi is so confident is that he certainly knows the nature of Wang Yuanzhong, Wang Dali and others. They are all kind-hearted people.

Moreover, without the help of these people, it is impossible to obtain a large amount of food in the outside world.

Xiaozhi suddenly thought of something.

"Leader Lu Lan, you must answer me truthfully now. How much food do you hope to have in the city now?" Xiaozhi asked decisively.

Lu Lan thought about it carefully and replied: "It should last for another month. Don't worry, Xiaozhi, let's take it slow!"

Xiaozhi knew very well that Lu Lan was not a good liar. Whenever he lied, his eyes would become erratic.

Xiaozhi quickly said: "Leader Lu Lan, do you really have a month's worth of food? This is not necessarily true. You must tell the truth now!"

Lu Lan's eyes and eyebrows were knitted together, and her face became wrinkled, looking a little ferocious.

"Leader Lu Lan, if you don't tell the truth, then I really don't know what to do next!"

Professor Zhong on the side also said calmly: "Leader Lu Lan, I think Xiaozhi is right. We must be honest with each other now. Only in this way can we get through the crisis together!"

After Professor Zhong finished speaking, Lu Lan finally raised her head.

"Okay, then I will tell the truth. In fact, there is less than half a month of food left, so I ask you to go outside to look for food as soon as possible!"

Lu Lan finally told the truth this time.

Xiaozhi said helplessly: "Lu Lan, what do you want me to say to you? As the leader of Hope City, all the citizens of the city place all their hopes on you!"

Lu Lan blamed herself and said: "Xiaozhi, actually I can understand what you mean. I know I made a mistake, so I hope you can forgive me!"

Xiaozhi thought about it carefully, and if Lu Lan was held responsible now, it would definitely not help the matter. Instead, it would intensify the panic among the adults.

"Chief Lu Lan, as you said just now, I still have one month of food reserves, but you are saying this for everyone, not for yourself, do you understand?"

Lu Lan naturally understood what Xiaozhi meant.

She nodded resolutely and said calmly: "Xiaozhi, don't worry about this. Before you come back, I will definitely stabilize the stability within Hope City!"

Xiaozhi smiled contentedly, and then came out of Professor Zhong's research room.

He then summoned all his men, and even Chen Songbai, who had just recovered, joined his team.

"Xiao Zhi, I will definitely behave well for you this time. I didn't behave well last time, which makes me regret and blame myself very much!" Chen Songbai also slapped the table hard as he spoke.

The sound of banging on the table was rhythmic, just like the sound of the horns of soldiers preparing for a truce.

When Xiaozhi heard this sound, he felt that the blood all over his body was boiling.

"Anyway, everyone has gathered now, so let's set off quickly!"

Xiaozhi gave an order, and all his subordinates came out of the gate of Hope City in a mighty manner.

In a blink of an eye, they were halfway there, and this time they drove out five trucks.

Three of the trucks have been used previously and are still operational despite their age.

Xiaozhi was sitting on one of the trucks, observing everything around him carefully.

In fact, his most important task is to observe the zombies around him. As long as a group of zombies appears, he must keep everyone on alert.

At this moment, a powerful tornado struck in front of them. After all, everything in front of them was so empty. It was really filled with yellow sand and howling everywhere!

The whistling sound of this kind of tornado is like the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling. Ordinary soldiers are really scared when they hear this sound.

When Xiaozhi saw this scene, he shouted loudly: "You are all brave and fearless warriors. It's just a small wind. Are you afraid?"

All the warriors heard Xiaozhi's cheerful words, and their fears seemed to ease a little.

Wang Yuanzhong also shouted loudly: "If anyone is scared, it is not Hope to be the bravest warrior. You also know how harsh Xiaozhi is in selecting warriors!"

Wang Dali, who was on the side, also interjected: "Actually, I can also prove this. As long as it is someone chosen by Xiaozhi, it must be one in a million!"

Xiaozhi heard their voices, although he felt it was exaggerated in his heart. There were less than 10,000 people in the entire Hope City, how could they be one in a million? But he knew that Wang Dali and Wang Yuanzhong were also encouraging the soldiers!

But unfortunately, a group of zombies was coming towards them.

This group of zombies was quite angry, and they rushed over in a mighty manner, ignoring the tornado.

Xiaozhi could tell that these zombies seemed to be associated with tornadoes. *
