Chapter 37 Current Status of the Base

The man coming towards me was really big and strong, with a big gold chain and a small watch, a bald head and no eyebrows. He looked very fierce, not to mention that he was very strong, about 180cm tall.

Ye Yiyi's eyes twitched, a bad scene flashed through her mind for a moment, and then she subconsciously hid behind Yang Luoliu.

Yang Luoliu just took a look at Ye Yiyi's actions and had no intention of pulling her out.

No one noticed that something was wrong with Ye Yiyi, including Yang Luoliu. Only the system noticed that something was wrong with Ye Yiyi.

He wanted to speak but the situation was obviously not appropriate, so he just stared at Ye Yiyi.

The man in front of him immediately grinned and laughed when he saw Yang Luoliu.

"I've heard a lot about you, Miss Yang. Welcome to join us."

Yang Luoliu didn't feel anything. She had seen countless people with ferocious faces like this since the end of the world. Although the man had a ferocious look on his face, a closer look at his brows revealed a righteous look.

But Ye Yiyi was really scared. It would have been fine if the man didn't smile, but when he smiled, Ye Yiyi always felt that he was going to kill her.

My heart was frantically working on this. This wasn't the same as before. This was the only way I could maintain a normal expression and stand behind Yang Luoliu.

The man did not see Ye Yiyi's expression behind Yang Luoliu, he could only see the corner of Ye Yiyi's clothes. Then he thought about his own appearance and did not think Ye Yiyi's action was strange.

The man was obviously not a talkative person. Seeing this, Chen Jingyu behind him smiled and spoke.

"My eldest brother only looks fierce, but he is a very good person. Miss Ye, there is no need to be afraid."

When the man saw Chen Jingyu reaching the steps, he naturally went down with a smile.

"Miss Ye, you can rest assured about my character, Yan Nanyu."

After hearing what the person opposite said, Ye Yiyi would not be so ungrateful as to hide behind Yang Luoliu. She smiled and moved closer to Yang Luoliu.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bit timid and wasn't scared."

When Yan Nanyu looked at Ye Yiyi who moved out from behind Yang Luoliu, he suddenly felt that it was normal for her to be timid. That pitiful face really needed to be protected.

Yan Nanyu, who was originally angry, disappeared instantly after seeing this face, and even spoke with a smile.

"It's good that you didn't get scared. It's good that you didn't get scared."

Looking at Yan Nanyu's useless appearance, Chen Jingyu smiled in a place where no one could see.

Seeing that Yan Nanyu subconsciously blocked his gaze, Yang Luoliu and Ye Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yang Luoliu standing in front of her.

Although she said that just now, Ye Yiyi was still a little uncomfortable when she really met Yan Nanyu's gaze.

Looking at Yang Luoliu in front of him with full aura, Yan Nanyu finally came back to his senses.

"The food is ready. After we finish eating, I will personally take you around the safe zone."

"No need to trouble you."

"Brother, if you have other things to do, I will take care of it when the time comes."

The voices of Yang Luoliu and Chen Jingyu sounded at the same time, but their words made Ye Yiyi feel relieved.

Yan Nanyu thought about it and felt that what Chen Jingyu said was indeed right. He had a lot of things to do in the afternoon. The safe zone had just been built and he had to take care of every place. If Chen Jingyu hadn't taken Yang Luoliu to see the safe zone, he would not have had much free time.

Of course, if they didn’t know that Yang Luoliu was very strong, they would not have received such treatment at all.

The group walked into the red house in a mighty manner. Ye Yiyi also knew where this place was, so she held Yang Luoliu's clothes tightly and followed them obediently along the way.

Seeing this, Yang Luoliu did not take Ye Yiyi's hand away.

When Ye Yiyi arrived at the dinner table, she was stunned. She and Yang Luoliu had been eating quite well recently, but now she saw the delicious fish and meat on the table, even lobsters and abalone. It was really like all kinds of delicacies from land and sea were on the table.

But Yang Luoliu was not surprised at all. He had been a deputy at the base before, and he knew that the meals would be more sumptuous when guests came. Not to mention that it was not long since the end of the world, and these ingredients were still hard to find, even if the base was not too poor and had too many strong people in ten years, it would not be impossible to have these things.

So Yang Luoliu sat down without any expression, and Ye Yiyi sat next to Yang Luoliu with a face that was not very good.

Yan Nanyu and Chen Jingyu looked at each other and were amazed at the two men's composure.

After sitting down, there was no extra polite talk. Yang Luoliu was just like usual, only Ye Yiyi seemed a little reserved.

When Yang Luoliu found out, he would calmly put the dishes that Ye Yiyi liked in front of her.

Ye Yiyi didn't notice it at all, because after Yang Luoliu placed her favorite dishes in front of her, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up the dishes in front of her.

Ye Yiyi thought she wanted to eat that dish and they just bumped into each other.

Yan Nanyu was hurriedly called away before he even finished his meal. Seeing Yan Nanyu leave, Ye Yiyi felt relieved.

However, only Yang Luoliu noticed that Ye Yiyi's brows relaxed.

'Why are you so scared?'

After dinner, Chen Jingyu took on the role of guide, followed by Zheng Shi.

"This factory originally belonged to Big Brother, and I ended up joining him by chance. It's all thanks to Big Brother's efforts that we've grown to this size."

The two of them just listened to Chen Jingyu's words casually.

"There's still a lot of construction to be done on this base. Many people already know about it. Once it's finished, they'll search for survivors outside."

Yang Luoliu had been to this base in his previous life, so he naturally knew the direction of this base.

Along the way, anyone who saw Chen Jingyu would greet him, which shows how popular Chen Jingyu is.

But Yang Luoliu knew that as more and more people joined, there would be more conflicts, and this base would never be the same as it is now.

I just hope to kill as many black sheep as possible. Wu Yi is already dead, and there are only two left in my memory. Although I don’t know where they are now, I will see them in two or three months.

No one knew what Yang Luoliu was thinking, so Chen Jingyu walked over and introduced everything to her.

"These three buildings are where the psychics live. There are probably over a hundred psychics in there, and they're still recruiting more."

After talking about the three houses closest to the red house, I introduced the three houses behind it.

"These three buildings are inhabited by ordinary people, but they are all very useful. For example, they are skilled craftsmen in water and electricity, education, construction, etc. The construction of the base cannot be separated from these people."

Yang Luoliu also knew all this, but she always had a stern face so Chen Jingyu didn't notice any expression on her face.

Ye Yiyi listened and watched attentively. After all, judging from Yang Luoliu's appearance, he seemed to be staying here for a while.

Finally, the three of them walked to a building and Chen Jingyu opened his mouth.

"The staff here are too mixed. They are all idle people who do nothing. If you two ladies don't have anything to do, try not to come here."

Chen Jingyu also had a headache when talking about this. Even the women who came in knew that they had to find something to do, but these people have been idle since they came in, and have done a lot of stealing and cheating. After all, these people are humans and it is impossible to drive them out rashly, so they can only keep them idle like this. Anyway, if they have nothing to eat, they will go to the base to find some physical work to do in exchange for food, and the people in the base will turn a blind eye.

Yang Luoliu knew that, after all, let alone the end of the world, even in a safe world there would be a few idle bad apples, not to mention this end of the world that magnified the ugliness of human nature.

Yang Luoliu didn't pay attention to this situation, and Ye Yiyi immediately turned her head away when she saw the disgusted gazes in the building looking at her and Yang Luoliu.

Seeing this situation, Chen Jingyu gave them a look, warned them, and then walked back with the two of them.

"This is a large cafeteria. Fresh meals are served every day. Almost everyone comes here to eat, with only a few psychics not coming. However, we have to pay crystal cores to eat in the cafeteria here."

Seeing Ye Yiyi looking at him, Chen Jingyu introduced her.

"This is how the base operates. Miss Yang is joining our core team. Let me explain it to you."

Yang Luoliu really wanted to say that there was no need to explain, as he had been a base manager and was quite clear about these things, but now was not the future, so Yang Luoliu forced himself to endure it.

"Ms. Yang has also seen that the core of this base is me and my elder brother. We built this base. From now on, everyone who wants to come in will have to hand over a corresponding amount of food. After all, it is for the future development of the base."

"Those who come in later are naturally treated much better. After all, they can go out and find food and kill zombies on their own. So what we charge them is the rent for living here. The closer you are to the inside, the safer it is, and the more crystal cores we can collect."

He pointed to the innermost red house. "If they can afford it, the red house inside is also available. Even without crystal cores or food, it can be rented. However, the psychics who can come here are basically those with families. They feel that their families will be unsafe if they go out to kill zombies, so they come to the base. There are psychics as powerful as Miss Yang who don't have families, but they are rare."

"The three buildings in the middle are all occupied by ordinary people, but they all have their own skills: doctors, electricians, and so on. The base also has a dedicated hospital, but the equipment isn't very complete. Maintaining the base's water and electricity also requires people, as do patrol officers and plantation workers. There are so many positions, but the staffing is really tight. These people don't have to pay for crystal cores; we will provide them with corresponding crystal cores."

After saying that, Chen Jingyu stopped and looked at Yang Luoliu, who was as tall as him.

"Miss Yang seems to understand the importance of crystal cores, so she needs to use crystal cores to buy anything at the base. However, the base is still in its infancy and there are still many areas that need to be improved."

"Finally, it's our responsibility to go out and look for food, crystal cores, and survivors. Big Brother looks fierce, so I usually lead the team out, and he stabilizes the rear at the base."

Yang Luoliu was not averse to going out after coming to the base. After all, there was no truly safe place in this world, and the only way was to improve one's own strength.

The survivor base is not a comfortable home created for the strong, but a place to live for ordinary people who are unable to protect themselves.

What's more, unless they are really idle, ordinary people also have an indispensable position in the base.

After all, patrol, animal husbandry, medical care and education are all indispensable for a base.

When the base is truly established in the future, it will be no different from before the end of the world, except that only the strong will have the final say. However, this has always been the case and there is nothing much to say.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the psychics are in the apocalypse, if they do not integrate into the crowd and walk alone in the apocalypse, they will probably collapse when faced with the many zombies at a glance.

So the safe base is not really useless to people with special abilities.

What's more, the outside world will only become more and more dangerous in the future, and humans can only resist it by working together.

Yang Luoliu didn't come to the base to become a local tyrant. She has her own pace.

Seeing that both of them seemed to understand, Chen Jingyu started moving forward again.

"Oh, there's one more thing I didn't mention. We don't need to go to the big cafeteria to eat. We have our own small cafeteria."

Yang Luoliu was not surprised by this.

"We also have a missing person notice board and a mission acceptance board here. If you need to go out, you can go over there and take a look. Although the reward may not be as much as if you fight on your own, it can still be considered as helping others if you can do it."

There aren't many people here now, so they might not pay much attention to this area. But when there are more people in the future, they will naturally need more people to take care of it.

But Yang Luoliu didn't care about these things. After all, the real managers were Chen Jingyu and Yan Nanyu. He had other journeys to make and would not stay here for long.

Thinking of this, I looked at Ye Yiyi who was listening attentively beside me.

'Should I take you with me? Later?'

However, Yang Luoliu couldn't figure out the reason for this idea.

Chen Jingyu brought the two to the red room and said, "There are five floors in there. My brother and I live on the top floor. I have prepared a room for you on the fourth floor. I will take you there. Zheng Shi and the others will be on the same floor."

"The second floor is the conference room and cafeteria. The cafeteria is where we had our meal just now. I'll take you to visit the conference room when I have the chance."

Then he went upstairs, talking as he walked.

"But Miss Yang and Miss Ye can do as they please. We will provide the meals, and Miss Yang and Miss Ye don't have to give anything. They just need to upgrade themselves."

After saying this, Chen Jingyu was already standing in front of their room.

"In other words, you two can do whatever you want, and we won't charge you anything. The only thing is, you can't shirk your responsibilities if there's an urgent mission."

Yang Luoliu did not respond to this but just looked at Chen Jingyu coldly. After all, who knew whether his urgent mission would harm herself.

Chen Jingyu smiled, as if knowing what Yang Luoliu was thinking.

"Of course, if Ms. Yang and Ms. Ye don't want to do it, we won't force them."

After hearing Chen Jingyu's words, Yang Luoliu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Yang Luoliu had some confidence to come.

Ye Yiyi originally followed Yang Luoliu, so there was nothing to say after Yang Luoliu agreed to her request.

But looking at Yang Luoliu in front of her, with a cold face and a hint of the aura of a superior, Ye Yiyi felt very at ease for some reason.

But he felt a little conflicted when he saw that Chen Jingyu had only prepared one room for him and Yang Luoliu.

Although her relationship with Yang Luoliu seems to have improved a lot now, Ye Yiyi feels that if they have to sleep in the same bed together, she will have to sleep on the floor.

She wanted to ask Chen Jingyu to allocate another room for her, but asking now would sound like he disdained Yang Luoliu, so she had no choice but to go in. At worst, she would just sleep on the floor.
