Mentioning Lin Weicheng, Rocket suddenly sidled up to him cheekily, spitting out a dark, gooey-looking thing from his mouth.

Lu Sheng picked it up and saw that it was a recording pen soaked in Rocket's saliva.

"Where did you find these?" Lu Sheng casually tossed a few pieces of freeze-dried beef to Rocket.

Rocket fawned over Lu Sheng, licking his knee with a fawning lick, his little eyes blinking and his fluffy tail wagging excitedly.

It found it in the power generation workshop! It immediately hid it in its mouth, only giving it to the person who cleaned it!

Lu Sheng turned on the recorder, and after a crackling sound of electricity, a weak male voice slowly flowed out.

It was Lin Weicheng's voice.

No one in the car spoke; they listened quietly to the recording.

Initially, they only had a vague understanding of the matter after finding the diary, but with the help of the recording pen they found in the power generation workshop, they finally figured out the whole story.

Most of the people at Tengfei Base are elderly, weak, sick, or disabled. Lin Weicheng was a graduate student at Tsinghua University before the apocalypse, and by chance, he became the base manager of Tengfei Base.

With food shortages and the return of scorching heat, dozens or even hundreds of people are dying every day at the Tengfei base.

Besides the food problem, another important reason for the high mortality rate was that the Tengfei base did not have its own power generation equipment.

In the early days of the apocalypse, almost all the power generation equipment found was broken, and their geographical locations were unsuitable for wind and hydropower.

Seeing people dying from heatstroke every day, Lin Weicheng had no choice but to take the risk and return to Tsinghua University to take away the experimental nuclear reactor.

He majored in a related field in college, and through a combination of knowledge and trial and error, he finally built a small nuclear power generator unit.

As the power generation equipment was completed, Lin Weicheng discovered that he had been accidentally exposed to a nuclear leak during the process of acquiring the reactor.

While being affected by radiation, he discovered that he had unlocked related superpowers. His body could connect to the reactor, providing greater kinetic energy for power generation.

After the grain was brought back from the grain storage warehouse, a significant amount of it underwent slight spoilage on the day it was loaded into the warehouse due to the lack of electricity at the Tengfei base, which prevented cooling.

In order to preserve the life-saving rations for a longer period of time and to reduce the mortality rate at the base, Lin Weicheng decided to take a risk.

He knew that this crude nuclear power plant posed a great risk, so he found an excuse to drive Lin Xiaoduo away that very day.

He originally thought he could get away from the generator at any time, but when the equipment was started, he found that his body was completely controlled by the generator set.

He was forced to become part of the entire crew and was powerless to resist.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, he had previously ordered everyone to stay away from the workshop in the basement. This ensured that no one at the Tengfei base would discover that he was trapped inside.

The only saving grace was that he had a habit of carrying a voice recorder with him, which allowed him to record the whole story and also leave behind his last words for Lin Xiaoduo.

After listening to the recording for a long time, there was a long silence in the carriage.

No matter how dark the times, there are always people willing to burn their own energy to bring a faint light to dispel the darkness.

Although Lin Weicheng caused the nuclear leak, he sacrificed himself for the Tengfei Base.

She doesn't consider herself to have such noble sentiments, but she still pays tribute to every brave heart.

"Should we give this to Lin Xiaoduo?" Sun Tiantian hesitated and looked at Lu Sheng.

"Let's talk about it when she's feeling better."

In the apocalypse, people often live on a sliver of faith. If Lin Xiaoduo were told of Lin Weicheng's death now, she might lose her only belief and die soon.

"Teacher Xu! Is your butt... safe for driving?"

The somber atmosphere was suddenly broken by Han Rui.

Everyone's gaze simultaneously turned to Xu Yi's...buttocks...

emmm...

I got bitten hard, and I'm still driving in this sweltering heat...

“Yes…” A vein bulged on Xu Yi’s forehead.

Lu Sheng firmly gripped Rocket's restless mouth, raised an eyebrow and glared at it.

...

At 8 p.m., the car finally drove back to the base.

Han Mingjun looked at the various animals, including chicks, ducks, lambs, and pigs, running around the yard, and his jaw almost dropped in surprise.

"Is this...is this heaven?" He subconsciously pinched his thigh.

Those plump animals, exuding the aroma of meat, were all scratching their heads and striking poses as if saying, "Come and eat me!"

There are also all kinds of fruit trees and vegetables growing in the ground, looking fresh and delicious, even better than what was sold in the market before the apocalypse!

He wouldn't even dare to dream of something this big!

"Besides this pig, there are cats and dogs, and you can use any other animals, vegetables, and fruits as ingredients."

"My daily work involves preparing three meals a day and raising and planting livestock."

Lu Sheng explained the work to Han Mingjun and also gave the little panda assistant a day off.

After working hard for almost a year, we should give our employees some benefits.

"You can cook your own meals, or you can use points to buy them at the breakfast machine and supermarket."

"supermarket?!"

Han Mingjun carried her child and ran to the supermarket entrance. Looking at the dazzling array of snacks and ice cream in the shop window, she almost burst into tears.

Didi

The familiar electronic sound rang out.

[Congratulations, host, on expanding your base! The system is awarding you an additional employee dormitory and unlocking the hotel apartment module. You can build these as needed.]

[To meet the base's development needs, the supermarket module has been upgraded, and the host can now open the supermarket to the public.]

The host can add homemade products to the supermarket.

The number of people residing at the testing facility has increased by 3.

[Three-person loyalty level - Orange, loyalty index 100]

Wow, their loyalty was maxed out the moment they walked in.

What Lu Sheng didn't know was that Han Mingjun was just short of immediately carving "Loyalty to Lu Sheng" on his back.

To be able to settle in this paradise in a cannibalistic world is like passing the civil service exam and getting a secure job during a period of mass layoffs.

As for the remaining mother and her baby, their eyes widened at the dazzling array of goods in the supermarket, and they wouldn't leave even if you held a gun to their heads.

That evening, while Lu Sheng and the others were enjoying the delicious food prepared by Han Mingjun, things were not peaceful at the K3 base.

Jiang Man knocked on Su Zheng's door late at night.

"Young Master Su, I'm so scared. I keep seeing those mutated and disabled people from the Tengfei Base..." Jiang Man hugged her fair arms and looked timidly at Su Zheng.

Su was busy distributing supplies and didn't even look up. "It's okay. Go ask Sister Dongmei for two sleeping pills. Once you fall asleep, they'll be fine."

Jiang Man: "..."

You seem to have that serious illness!

"Young Master Su, may I stay here for a while?" As she spoke, she had already stepped one foot through the door and walked limply toward Su Zheng.

"Alright, you stay here. I'm going to find Lü Song."

After Su Zheng finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Jiang Man alone, bewildered in the wind.

You'd better look at me, for goodness' sake!
