In the Apocalypse, Hoarding Supplies with the System's Hundredfold Critical Hits

For Li Ming, these damned private base leaders had to be seen alive or dead. There was absolutely no possibility of letting them go.

Ordinary base members might have a chance to live, but big bosses like Boss Ma were absolutely not to be spared.

At this moment, these three or four businessmen were hiding in the basement, praying that the enemy troops above wouldn't find them.

However, they clearly underestimated the strength of Li Ming's forces. The reconnaissance battalion, in squads, was carefully searching every room and corner of the entire building.

After searching for a long time without finding any trace of them, even Brigade Commander Zhou Guoping felt it was unbelievable in the reconnaissance battalion's report. It was impossible for the enemy leaders to disappear into thin air.

"Brigade Commander, according to our current search situation, there are no other escape routes from the enemy's private base, so they must still be hiding inside the base!" the Chief of Staff said.

Zhou Guoping's mood calmed down, and he directly ordered the army to enter and conduct a carpet search, refusing to believe they couldn't find the enemy.

Soon, more than two thousand additional soldiers entered to help with the search, greatly speeding up the progress.

At this time, Boss Ma and the others hiding in the basement were sweating profusely, truly frightened. Hearing the footsteps of the searching soldiers above, they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

After searching the ground again without success, everyone's attention turned to the underground. Soon, there were sounds of knocking on the ground everywhere.

A soldier gently tapped the ground with the butt of his engineering plastic rifle, producing a hollow sound.

The surrounding soldiers all heard it, so a group of soldiers pointed their guns at the spot and shouted, "Don't hide inside! We've found you! You're in the basement! If you don't come out, we'll pry open the floor and throw in grenades!"

The floor was pried open, and someone inside shouted, "Don't shoot! I surrender!"

The surrounding soldiers surrounded the area tightly. Soon, people began to climb out of the basement, one being captured by the soldiers as they came up. Boss Ma still hadn't come up.

At this time, the soldiers felt that there should still be people inside, so several soldiers directly took out tear gas grenades and threw them into the basement.

Before long, the tear gas grenades spewed smoke that filled the basement, and constant coughing sounds came from inside.

The soldiers shouted, "Still not coming out? We're going to throw grenades!"

"Don't throw grenades! We surrender!" Boss Ma and the others finally couldn't stand the tear gas. While coughing violently, they desperately covered their eyes and crawled out.

"Are there any more people inside?" an officer asked.

"No more!"

A soldier wearing a gas mask began to go down to investigate the situation and found that there was indeed no one else. After climbing out, he shouted, "Report to the company commander, there's really no one inside!"

"Seize all usable materials here!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the soldiers began looting. This private base had a lot of good stuff. The soldiers searched very carefully and quickly found several warehouses in the private base.

When they opened the warehouses, some soldiers were stunned. They were really rich!

They saw sacks of rice, corn, millet, and other grains stacked in the warehouse. In addition to these main grains, there were also large quantities of peanuts, soybeans, and other miscellaneous grains.

In addition, there were a considerable number of dry foods in the warehouse, such as instant noodles, bread, cakes, various sausages, cooked chicken legs, bacon, and so on.

These materials were sorted and stacked neatly, and the quantity seemed very impressive.

Soon, the army found account books in the private base. Based on the account books, they found several more warehouses. These warehouses were filled with large quantities of cigarettes, alcohol, various clothing, and other materials, as well as an entire room filled with various medicines.

In addition, in a special warehouse, they found boxes of canned goods, including canned fruit, canned vegetables, and various canned meats. In short, all the canned goods available on the market could be found here.

There were both glass jars and metal cans, a total of more than 400 boxes of canned goods. In addition to canned goods, they also found a warehouse that turned out to be a small workshop for manufacturing guns and ammunition.

Inside, there were simple machine tools and other equipment and raw materials, with high-power solar panels and other power supplies, specializing in the production and manufacture of guns and ammunition.

In the last warehouse, they found a large number of liquefied petroleum gas tanks, as well as a large amount of charcoal, coal, and other fuel materials. In short, they made a fortune.

Soon, the army put these materials into their interdimensional pockets, packed them all up, and took them away, leaving not a single hair behind.

In addition to Boss Ma's base, the other eight private bases that participated in the operation were all breached by the combined brigade's forces.

All those who resisted with guns were killed, and the rest either laid down their weapons and surrendered or died under the combined brigade's powerful firepower.

In short, Li Ming would never allow any forces to threaten him so unscrupulously.

In Tarawa City, Li Ming's combined brigade destroyed a total of eight private bases, the eight-member conspiracy group led by Boss Ma, and seized a large amount of supplies.

Finally, after inventory, they seized a total of 6,525 military rifles, 1,252 pistols, and a total of 152,665 rounds of ammunition. In addition, they destroyed three black workshops for manufacturing guns and ammunition and seized a large amount of raw materials and equipment.

At the same time, they seized 264,562 tons of rice, 65,225 tons of millet, corn, and other grains, 45,225 boxes of instant noodles, and 25 tons of various meat products.

They seized 6,525 boxes of canned goods, 523 tons of coal, and 32,552 gas tanks.

In addition, there were a large number of various living facilities and so on. In short, this battle directly made a small fortune, at least enough to cover the cost of the troops.

And this was just Tarawa City. There were other actions against Li Ming's chamber of commerce. Similar things happened in nearly 30 large and medium-sized cities.

Li Ming showed no mercy and directly dispatched the combined brigade to destroy these private bases. He had no politeness for this group of people who didn't know what was good for them.

Since you don't want to be decent, then I'll give you decency!

Li Ming's bloody revenge quickly unfolded. The members of these private bases were all subjected to strict interrogation and screening. After confirming that they had not committed any crimes, they were released home without charge.

Those with minor crimes were directly sentenced to labor reform, and those with serious crimes, as well as the leaders of those private bases, were directly sentenced to public execution in a public trial!

Boss Ma, Boss Cao, and a series of figures who had wielded power during the extreme cold period were all publicly executed by Li Ming simply because they had angered him.

Subsequently, Li Ming's radio station broadcast a notice, directly publicizing the crimes of this group of people. For Li Ming, he needed to let people know that he was not a bloodthirsty person...
