Xie Purou: "But there's no need to rush. We'll be staying at the Ninth Base for a few more days. You can go back and pack your things first. We'll send someone to notify you before we leave."

"Okay!" Qian Zhengzhi thanked them one by one, and helped Old Mrs. Qian, who had just finished seeing the doctor, to leave the cruise ship and go home to pack her things.

Being picked up and dropped off by lifeboat and being treated on such a luxurious cruise ship, this kind of treatment and experience is unparalleled, not to mention ten crystal cores, even a hundred crystal cores would not be able to get such good treatment.

The base's personnel and resources weren't there to serve the civilian population; most civilians were lucky not to be exploited. While there wasn't any exploitation at the Ninth Base, everyone's suffering was shared equally, and no one was better off.

After going out, Old Lady Qian's illness was cured, she smiled more often, and looked full of energy, which anyone could see.

The neighbors were not idle at home, sitting on the corridor watching the ships coming and going.

Seeing the huge transformation of Mrs. Qian, I can't help but ask more questions.

Old Lady Qian and Qian Zhengzhi were good people with good relationships. It was a good thing that they found their relatives, so they did not hide it at all.

Old Lady Qian smiled from ear to ear the whole way. Whenever someone asked her what good news she had, she would tell them, "I found my granddaughter. She happens to be a friend of a healing power user."

As they walked along, everyone in the building knew that Qian Zhengzhi's family had found their relatives who were lost in the apocalypse, and there was a wave of excitement.

Despite the base's strictures against leaving the house, the news spread unchecked. Like the aroma of Xie Purou's delicious food, it spread uncontrollably, reaching the sky, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Don't underestimate the speed and effect of information dissemination. Within just two days, Xie Pu Rou received a prompt from the system to light up the base.

"It seems that what Qiu Kan said makes sense. If you want to win people's hearts, you have to give them something they need." Xie Pu Rou crossed her arms and looked thoughtful.

M80 couldn't help but tell her the truth: [Actually... finding your loved ones is the most heart-wrenching thing for survivors.]

Food and other things can sustain life, but for the Ninth Base, they have already grown food using seeds bought from the B&B, so they are not in great shortage.

The two words "finding relatives" are the real killer.

The fact that it took two days to light up the Ninth Base was due to the speed at which the news spread. Since everyone was locked up at home, so many people found out late.

"Shopkeeper! Are you about to leave the Ninth Base?" When Qiu Kan got the news that they were about to leave, he put down the work at hand and ran over.

"Well, I was planning to go to the First Base and discuss the Third Base issue."

"The third base will have a subway?" Qiu Kan received this information from the first base. He didn't get much information, and he imagined the subway based on what he knew about the Le'an base.

"It depends on what the higher-ups say. If they allow it, it's fine." Xie Purou pointed her index finger to the sky.

Qiu Kan: I'm so envious, I really want to have it...

Xie Purou took in the expression on Qiu Kan's face with amusement: "Are you envious?"

Qiu Kan nodded.

Who wouldn’t envy this?

It's like in the countryside where there's not even public transportation, people envy big cities for having airports. There's nothing wrong with that.

"No need to be envious." Xie Purou came in front of Qiu Kan and they faced each other.

She thought about it and said seriously, "Actually, I have an ability."

"What ability?" Qiu Kan was indeed curious.

"Even if the base commander shouts three times: 'The grape shop owner is my king, and I am the grape king's soldier as soon as I get to this station,' and repeats it three times in rapid succession, I can build a subway for your base."

Qiu Kan was no naive kindergarten kid. He looked at her with disdain and said coldly, "I graduated from Hua University."

Don't treat him like a child!!!

Xie Purou didn't get angry either. She patiently persuaded him, "Have you forgotten? My bus-transmitting business card also summons a bus by shouting three times. Are you sure you don't believe me?"

There was hesitation in Qiu Kan's eyes. It wasn't that he had a low IQ, but it was true and he had to believe it.

"Are you serious?"

There's hope!

Xie Purou looked at him sideways and smiled. She herself didn't even realize how cunning she looked at that moment.

"Do you know why my progress is so slow? I've only built subways for a few bases now?"

Qiu Kan also asked: "Why?"

"Because the base commanders don't believe me." Xie Pu Rou looked calm, making people believe what she said.

She continued, "Do you know why I stayed in the Third Base for so long?"

Qiu Kan hesitated and gave an answer that he himself didn't believe: "Because he doesn't believe it?"

"Ah!" Xie Purou praised, "That's right!"

"I believe you are a smart man. You should trust me and won't let me stay here too long, right?" She stared at him straight, as if she wanted to remove all his defenses through her eyes, the window to her soul.

"Didn't you also discover a big hole in your base before, and suspect it was caused by zombies?"

"They even told you this?" Qiu Kan was shocked. This kind of thing was considered a top secret internal matter in the base, and they actually told her this?

Xie Pu Rou looked away guiltily, but it was actually Yue Xiwen who told her that.

"Yeah." He was not right but still confident.

"So what?" Qiu Kan didn't understand what the connection was.

"I can build a subway, and I can also prevent zombies from entering the base I manage." Xie Pu Rou was not lying, and her confidence returned immediately.

Qiu Kan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said three times in a row:

"The owner of the grape shop is my king. When I come to this station, I am the soldier of the grape king! When I come to this station, I am the soldier of the grape king!! When I come to this station, I am the soldier of the grape king!!!"

Xie Purou's face turned red and she almost burst out laughing.

"What weird things are you talking about? Why do your high-tech things require weird spells?" Qiu Kan asked her after opening his eyes.

She quickly turned her back to Qiu Kan, put her hands behind her back, pretended to be mysterious, and laughed silently with her back to him.

After she had laughed enough, she replied, "Alright, now I can manage your base too. Remember to talk to the First Base later. If everything goes well, we can discuss your base's affairs with the Third Base at the same time."

"Ah?" Qiu Kannian thought about it, but he didn't really believe it.

It has reached the point where we need to report to the First Base. It seems like this is almost certain.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Xie Purou turned around: "Still don't believe me?"

"How about this, I'll take you to prove it?"

Qiu Kan asked: "How do you prove it?"

Xie Pu Rou condensed her supernatural powers at the bottom of her feet, and a powerful cyclone formed around her. That was the power of the wind-type supernatural powers.
