Under Li Tianran and Lu Chi's combination of carrots and sticks, the survivors' distracting thoughts were completely eliminated. They fully accepted their identities, stopped overthinking, and wholeheartedly devoted themselves to training, striving to pass Li Tianran's test and earn the right to reside on Kuangxi Island long-term.

In the early stages, Lu Chi served as the instructor for this training. However, after a week, if there were no insurmountable obstacles, the instructor would be replaced by adult-level Meng Shi (mechanical warrior).

These mechanical warriors would train and discipline the survivors strictly according to the rules inputted by Lu Chi.

Lu Chi, in turn, would set sail again to find other survivors, continuing to expand the forces of Kuangxi Island...

...

Late at night.

Mofila.

Kamedin, the Minister of Resources, sat in his office, approving documents. Affected by the Third Destruction Era, all minerals in the world had disappeared. Mofila was also severely affected, and the country's already limited reserves of various resources needed to be conserved even more!

However, application forms kept pouring in from all over the country. Various regions had suffered beast tide attacks and needed to rebuild shelters, requesting building materials such as steel and stone.

The national treasury's inventory simply couldn't meet these requests, and Sonan couldn't come up with a concrete solution, so all the pressure fell on Kamedin, leaving him extremely busy and stressed.

In fact, neither Sonan nor Kamedin cared much about the lives of those civilians.

Because for the upper echelons of the country, the civilians' greatest function was planting, construction, and production, from which the country could obtain resources for sustainable development.

But now, the world had lost the conditions for growing food, mining, and producing goods, so most of the civilians had lost their usefulness.

For Mofila at this time, they needed soldiers who could step onto the battlefield, not useless civilians.

It could even be said that these civilians were a burden to Mofila.

If all the civilians died, it would save a lot of food, medicine, and resources, which could be supplied to the upper echelons of the country and the army.

"These damn bastards, everyone comes to me for resources... I'm not God!" Kamedin grabbed his thinning hair and slammed the table angrily. "Are the officials in these areas all idiots? They only know how to push the difficulties upward!"

"Then these applications..." the assistant next to him asked cautiously.

"Reject them! Reject them all! Let them figure out how to solve it themselves!" Kamedin waved his hands and said sharply, "Now our Ministry of Resources is too important. Tell everyone that only the President's personal approval can open the door to the national treasury! No one else can take a single screw from me!"

"Shifting the pressure to the President, I can't take it anymore!"

Ring ring!

The office phone rang.

Kamedin picked up the phone, said a few words, and hung up. He looked at the assistant and said, "Prepare the car, go to the Presidential Palace."

The phone call just now was from the Presidential Palace, but it didn't say what it was about specifically. Kamedin casually put on a warm windbreaker and was about to go out.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Kamedin frowned, picked up the phone, and held it to his ear.

"Hello, Minister Kamedin, this is Bai Jingyan. Do you have time? I have something I want to discuss with you... it won't take too long." Bai Jingyan's voice sounded in the phone, gentle.

Kamedin raised his eyebrows, his face became very strange, and he lowered his voice to exchange a few words with Bai Jingyan before hanging up the phone again.

The assistant walked in and said softly, "Minister, the car is ready."

"What's going on tonight? First the President is looking for me, and now Bai Jingyan is looking for me..." Kamedin muttered to himself.

The assistant blinked and asked, "Are we still going to the Presidential Palace?"

This sentence sounded a bit absurd.

Although Bai Jingyan now had a very high position, the number one person in Mofila was still Sonan. It should be said that Sonan's orders and needs should be in the first sequence. When choosing between Sonan and Bai Jingyan, everyone should choose Sonan first.

But a look of hesitation appeared on Kamedin's face. After thinking for a moment, he actually said, "Go to... Bai Jingyan's place first."

Buzz!

Kamedin didn't take his own bulletproof SUV, but changed to an ordinary military vehicle and left his office, heading straight for Bai Jingyan's residence.

Soon, the car arrived at Bai Jingyan's residence.

Kamedin wrapped his windbreaker tighter, put on sunglasses to cover his face, and strode in.

"Minister Kamedin, please sit down." Bai Jingyan was very polite. He stood up when he saw Kamedin and said, "I'm sorry to bother you late at night."

"I received a call from the President first, and then I received a call from you!" Kamedin said jokingly, "General Bai, to keep my appointment with you, I left the President aside."

Standing next to him, Nan Nan raised her eyebrows. From this sentence, she heard a hint of flattery.

"Minister Kamedin, you're trying to harm me!" Bai Jingyan didn't smile when he heard this, but instead said very seriously, "If this gets out, what will the President think of me? What will the other generals and ministers think of me? Who is the real leader of Mofila?"

"They will think that I am not satisfied with my current position, that I want to form factions, that I want to overstep my authority!"

Bai Jingyan's voice was very stern, and Kamedin was sweating profusely.

He said that sentence earlier just to get closer to Bai Jingyan, but he didn't expect Bai Jingyan's reaction to be so strong.

"However, I'm looking for you tonight for official business. I believe that as long as it's explained clearly, the President and other generals won't misunderstand." Bai Jingyan suddenly changed his tone, and his voice became gentle again. He patted Kamedin on the shoulder, turned around, picked up a document from his desk, and said, "Because we're going to build another Evolver Research Institute, I've listed some resources and materials needed. Take a look, and if there are no problems, send someone to prepare the delivery tomorrow!"

"But... I haven't received the President's approval." Kamedin held the document in his hand and said tremblingly, "And there are many things in here that don't seem to be within the scope of the research institute's construction... Many of these materials are used to make weapons..."

"I am fully responsible for the Evolver research project, and its priority is higher than everything else." Bai Jingyan said with a smile, "You also know that the whole world is now researching Evolver projects. Whoever can stand at the forefront will have the future. And regarding the materials needed for the Evolver Research Institute, do you have more say than me?"

"Minister Kamedin, wouldn't you want to experience what it feels like to become an Evolver in the future?"

This was almost a blatant temptation. Kamedin's breathing became rapid. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Of course, researching Evolvers is a national policy. Your demands are very reasonable. I will approve them immediately and prepare for your delivery tomorrow!"

Kamela originally intended to please Bai Jingyan, and under Bai Jingyan's hints, Kamela was very cooperative and opened the back door for Bai Jingyan...

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was understood without words.

From then on, Mofila's national treasury became like Bai Jingyan's private vault. A large amount of resources was transported out by him in the name of building research bases. However, the resources actually used to build the bases accounted for less than 20 percent, and the whereabouts of the remaining large quantities of materials were unknown. They were declared as... losses.

...

Just as Bai Jingyan opened the door to Mofila's national treasury, a helicopter from Stormwind Island, after a long journey, landed on the coast of Kuangxi Island.

The cabin door opened.

A handsome young man wearing sunglasses and carrying a large backpack jumped out. He opened his arms and laughed up to the sky.

"Hahaha! I finally left that boring Stormwind Island!"

"I, Lan Ning, am alive again!"
