Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Rebuilding the H Province Base
Su Jin had said that the most formidable mutated zombies she knew of in her past life were only Level Seven, but now Level Eights had appeared. Either the zombies of the past life were unknown, or the zombies in this lifetime were advancing too quickly.
Regardless of the circumstances, Level Eight zombies should not be underestimated. Moreover, it seemed like a zombie that had just advanced to Level Eight; dealing with it as a family was already challenging. If it were left unchecked, it would become even more dangerous.
"Captain Lu, you don’t have to take these risks for us,"
Guan Shouzhong seemed a bit tipsy, but he felt that his mind had never been as clear as it was now.
He knew that Lu Hao and his companions were powerful Special Ability Users, but they had already settled in the large base in S City. If they were just coming to help them, he felt very bad about it.
"It’s paid work. Do you know about the Mercenary Group?"
Lu Hao asked.
However, it seemed the Han Family had not yet expanded their influence to this area. When Su Jin pulled out their team’s badge, everyone said this was the first time they had heard of or seen it.
"So you can take jobs everywhere with this title and earn rewards?"
Xiang Sanjin asked in surprise, sounding like it was quite impressive.
"I just don’t understand why people from outside place so much importance on Crystal Cores. Honestly, we never cared much about Crystal Cores in our base before. What’s the use of Crystal Cores when you don’t have supplies?"
Tian Yongyi said, puzzled. What good are many Crystal Cores when there’s nothing to eat? Why do Dragon Ruler and the Heart Talk Team treat Crystal Cores like money?"
"Currently, for everyone, Crystal Cores are not as important as supplies, but in the long term, the value of Crystal Cores is definitely not limited to this. As for food, people have already started trying to grow edible things. In S City base, we are also starting to use Crystal Cores for energy weapons. Crystal Cores will surely continue to appreciate in value,"
Su Jin patiently explained her view. She couldn’t predict the distant future accurately, but at least for them, the value of Crystal Cores was far above that of supplies.
The three were momentarily stunned. Could food really be grown now? And what were those energy weapons Su Jin mentioned?
"I feel like we’re totally out of the loop. Can people really grow food now?"
Xiang Sanjin asked. Their base had tried growing things, but without a Wood Element Ability User, the seeds would simply not sprout, and the plants that the Wood Element Ability Users did manage to grow yielded very little.
"Yes, every base is thinking of their own methods. The S City base has successfully cultivated cabbages that can adapt to the apocalypse, and the N City base has also grown foods like mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms,"
Su Jin nodded, and took out a set of cultivation guidelines that the N City base had given them from his bag, and continued, "Keep this for now. If you try to grow them, it might help your base."
Guan Shouzhong silently looked at the documents in his hand, suddenly moved and at a loss for words. Since he had become the Base Leader, this was the first time someone had naturally offered to help them, even considering past relationships, he felt overwhelmingly grateful. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"You’re helping us so much, I don’t even know what to say,"
Guan Shouzhong’s eyes reddened.
As the family ate and laughed, Su Xiangzhe said, "Helping you is helping ourselves, hahaha, dig in."
"It’s really too great."
Xiang Sanjin couldn’t help but wipe away a tear, only those who intertwine their own interests with the interests of all humankind can speak such nonchalant words.
Helping others is helping oneself, what a noble level that is!
The family didn’t know what Xiang Sanjin was moved by, but they could tell these three people were sincere towards Lu Hao; otherwise, Su Jin wouldn’t have spoken so much to them and donated the cultivation technology of N city for free.
"Captain Lu, rest assured, I will ensure the proper development of this base. We realized the importance of the Crystal Cores when we encountered the Dragon Ruler. Recently, we’ve also managed to recover many Crystal Cores, including some old ones. If we could get your help, our Crystal Cores would be yours."
Guan Shouzhong, merry from drinking, also happily chatted. The mere cultivation technique brought out by Su Jin was recognized by anyone with clear eyes as extremely precious. The peculiar feeling of needing to diligently accumulate more Crystal Cores arose spontaneously in his heart.
Needless to say, if a person sees a glimmer of hope during a time of confusion and even finds the means to grasp that hope, it sweeps away their initial bewilderment, making their goals incredibly clear, and that was how he felt now.
As the leader of a base, he also needed to work hard to make money.
So, in the following days, people at the base were surprised to see recruitment notices posted. They included information for hiring Special Ability Users and, unexpectedly, numerous positions available to ordinary people, making the previously quiet base suddenly buzz with activity.
Could ordinary people also have jobs earning Crystal Cores? Knowing that earning Crystal Cores meant they could go to the cafeteria for a meal, and this was a legitimate job!
"Building a wall? Our base is going to build a wall?"
Someone curiously said while looking at the notice for hiring personnel related to the construction of the base walls.
The notice called for architects, construction workers, Earth Element Ability Users, Water Element Ability Users, and Metal Element Ability Users, with architects and construction workers open to non-Special Ability Users. The Crystal Cores would be settled based on the working hours of the day, which made it a rather low barrier.
There were also some recruitments for doctors and nurses, where even ordinary people with relevant pre-apocalypse experience could apply.
The variety of recruitment information excited everyone; their base would continue to improve!
If this was the case, they wouldn’t have to live day by day in a daze as before; perhaps they could properly survive in the base, maybe even reunite with their long-lost relatives, maybe...they could even safely get through the Apocalypse and return to their previous lives?
Regardless, all around the base, fervent reconstruction began, not only reinforcing the walls, but also planning the locations for dormitory buildings, the trade market, and experimental farms.
"What other good practices does your S city base have that we can learn from?"
Xiang Sanjin curiously asked Lin Xiuyuan, having followed the advice from Lu Hao and Su Jin, they indeed successfully motivated everyone, so he was also curious about other distinctive elements.
"Well, it must be our Heart Talk Store,"
Lin Xiuyuan proudly said. Could there be anything more unique than the Heart Talk Store?
The answer is no.
