493: The Great Western Kingdom Invades
However, how could a mere 60 jin of beer be enough for so many people to drink?
Pan Han, Cheng Xiao, Ellie, Qin Zhong, Second Sister, Old Wu, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Little Nine were all present. There were eleven people in total. Excluding Ellie, who didn't drink, the remaining ten people only got 6 jin each.
After a few rounds of free-for-all drinking, the beer barrels hit the bottom.
"Old Wu, go back and carry a few more barrels over."
Qin Zhong was in the middle of a drinking high and, noticing everyone else was the same, secretly pulled Old Wu aside to say this.
"Big Brother, we only had these few barrels, they're gone!"
Old Wu smiled awkwardly, glanced at Second Sister, and couldn't help but shift his butt to the side.
As expected, Second Sister frowned. She didn't usually concern herself with Old Wu's personal affairs, so naturally, she didn't know there were only three barrels.
"This... you just got everyone's craving for alcohol hooked." The disappointed look on Qin Zhong's face remained, and Pan Han saw it too.
So, he tapped on the table to attract their attention.
"Old Qin, don't give Old Wu a hard time. We don't have much grain to begin with, and using it to brew alcohol is a luxury."
Hearing the Commander support him, Old Wu instantly straightened his posture, the corners of his mouth curling up in slight triumph.
"Yes, Commander." Qin Zhong hadn't meant any harm, and seeing Pan Han say that, he had no choice but to let it go.
"However!" Pan Han hadn't finished speaking, adding a twist.
Old Wu became nervous again, looking at Pan Han pitifully.
"Since everyone is drinking, we should enjoy it to the fullest. Doing things halfway is worse than not doing them at all."
"Yes, yes, yes, the Commander is right. I will definitely correct this next time."
Old Wu nodded repeatedly, fully agreeing with this principle; if you can't even enjoy a drink, you can't do anything well.
After speaking, Pan Han stared at the beer barrels, instantly seeing through the entire brewing process.
Then, he smiled slightly and pointed a finger at the barrels: "Full!"
A magical scene occurred. Everyone saw the barrels move slightly, and the few Intermediate Evolvers could sense that they were filled with alcohol.
Qin Zhong and Old Wu hurriedly ran to a barrel and hugged it, shaking it.
It was completely full!
Opening the tap and placing a glass, orange-yellow and cloudy beer flowed out slowly.
The two men widened their eyes, watching the glass gradually fill with beer, and Qin Zhong couldn't help but take a sip.
Two lines of hot tears streamed down.
Old Wu snatched the glass, took a big gulp, and stood frozen in place, stunned like a wooden chicken.
It was insanely delicious!
The beer Old Wu brewed was clear and bright, typical industrial beer—refreshing, light, and suitable for chugging. The alcohol content was around 3 degrees, and the malt concentration did not exceed 10.
But this barrel they just drank from was clearly a craft type, with higher alcohol content and a rich malt aroma. One sip, and you could actually taste a certain mellowness.
"Try the other two barrels." Seeing the effect was good, Pan Han introduced them in a great mood.
Second Sister and Cheng Xiao stood up, walked to the other two barrels, and drew a glass from each.
One glass was red, the other was black.
"The red one is grape-flavored, and the other is dark beer. Let's drink to our heart's content today!"
Pan Han waved his hand, and the crowd cheered with joy.
Without a doubt, the drinking party ushered in a second climax.
Not only could they drink to their heart's content, but they could also taste various flavors—who wouldn't be stunned!
This was the apocalypse!
If the Dawn Squad's beer could be mass-produced, the whole world would probably come to buy it.
It was just absurd!
Three barrels finished, then three more, then three more again.
By midnight, everyone had finished a full 12 barrels of beer. God knows how much barbecue they had eaten.
Since meeting Pan Han, the fate of everyone in the Dawn Squad had changed.
Now, after fighting east and west, they had finally conquered the whole country, something no one would have dared to imagine a year ago.
During the time, Pan Han also took out a mobile phone and a speaker to play his favorite songs.
Everyone was attracted by this exotic musical style, especially when the prelude to "Glorious Years" started, everyone's hair stood on end.
After the song ended, although they didn't understand the lyrics, everyone in the Dawn Squad had tears in their eyes.
Deeply moved by the music and singing, they seemed to see a bright future and felt the heavy responsibility on their shoulders.
Just as the drinking party was coming to an end, the command room duty officer suddenly ran up, panting:
"Report!"
Fifth knew this person and immediately stood up, asking: "What's the matter?"
Pan Han's heart sank. Running up so hurriedly this late at night, it was probably nothing good.
"Report, Commander, Mr. Mo from the Twelve Palaces has sent a message."
"Oh? Speak quickly."
This time, everyone put down their glasses. Mo Li sending a message this late must be an important notification.
"Da Xi Country has dispatched their navy and is preparing to land in our country!"
Upon hearing this, Asiba slammed her chopsticks onto the table.
"Damn it! This trash country has finally come."
"Da Xi Country?" Pan Han thought for a moment, and the situation of that country appeared in his mind.
It was located 50,000 kilometers due south of Da Hua Country, but there was an ocean in between.
Before the apocalypse, because of the long distance, the two countries didn't have much interaction, only conducting normal trade.
However, because Da Xi Country believed in a religion called Borosa, which conflicted with the mainstream values of Da Hua Country, there had been several conflicts in history.
The grudges were hard to explain clearly, but fortunately, they were separated by an ocean, otherwise, they might have attacked each other.
As for why Asiba was so angry, it was because the Borosa religion allowed men to have multiple wives and concubines!
Just because of this, she couldn't stand it.
"They have quite a few warships!" Pan Han had already seen the Da Xi Country fleet through his divine sense.
At this moment, a massive fleet consisting of ten aircraft carriers, twenty amphibious assault ships, over a hundred destroyers, and a large number of auxiliary vessels was less than five hundred kilometers away from the coast of Da Hua Country's southern province.
"Commander. Before the apocalypse, the Da Xi Country navy was the world's number one! They were far from all continents, drifting alone overseas, and the navy was the foundation of their nation." Cheng Xiao showed a trace of worry.
"This script is so familiar!" Pan Han gave a bitter smile.
Wasn't that how the Eagle Country knelt before?
However, all of Da Xi Country's warships seemed to be a size larger.
The aircraft carriers actually had a displacement of 250,000 tons, with over 150 carrier-based aircraft.
The largest destroyer was actually 40,000 tons!
And they were all nuclear-powered!
However, thinking about it, it was reasonable. If they didn't build them larger, how could they cross 50,000 kilometers?
They needed to reserve more space for personnel activities and survival.
"Hehe! This is a gift delivered to me!"
Pan Han chuckled instead. He had been wondering when to rebuild the navy, and he didn't expect Da Xi Country to come directly.
"Did Mr. Mo say what the reason was?" Fifth asked the duty officer.
"He said the other side seems worried that after we unify, we will go and invade them. So they decided to strike first."
The duty officer answered truthfully.
"Bullshit! Our Commander has the world at heart, how can that be called an invasion!"
Old Wu gave the communicator a hard knock on the head. Mo Li could say that, but could you say that too?
"Yes! General Five, I was wrong!"
"Alright, Fifth, don't give him a hard time."
"Still not retreating quickly!" Seeing Pan Han speak, Fifth pushed him.
The communicator hurriedly seized the opportunity to escape the scene.
At this moment, everyone stood up, looked at Pan Han, and said in unison: "Commander, give the order!"
