Chapter 2016 Anjiang Base

"Then we're sorry to bother you," said Xu Sa.

"Don't disturb me, everyone please," said Chen Guozhong.

When the group entered the base, no one checked the number of people, no one asked them to hand over supplies, and no one even said they wanted to check if there were any infected people among them. They just let them in, which made Zhuang Mingxu a little puzzled.

Inside the base, there were still circles of high walls. The car drove through four gates and walked for nearly half an hour before arriving at where Lin Minghong lived.

Lin Minghong looks very young, and you can't tell at all that he is the father of two daughters. He has a slender and handsome figure, and his features are clear and upright. It is not unreasonable that he attracts people's covetousness. He was already waiting at the door of a villa. When he saw the person coming, he immediately came over to greet him.

"Dad!" Lin Jiao ran over crying.

"Jiaojiao" Lin Minghong hugged his daughter in his arms, patted her back and comforted her, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, Dad will definitely avenge you, don't cry."

"Dad, you didn't marry that bad woman, did you?" Lin Jiao asked with tears in her eyes.

"Now that you and Yingying are gone, how can I have the mind to get married? Don't worry, Dad will never get married in the future. Having you two is enough for me." Lin Minghong's eyes were red, and it seemed that he had been worried for a long time.

When Lu Weiyi and his group got out of the car, Lin Minghong immediately let go of his daughter and asked her to go back to wash up. He walked over quickly and bowed to several people first, "Thank you all for your kindness. Yingying has already told me that if it weren't for you, she and her sisters would not know what they would face."

"Mayor Lin, you don't have to be so polite," Ning Yuan took the initiative to say, "It's fate that we meet."

"It's both fate and a favor. I've asked people to prepare food, it's a bit simple, I hope you don't mind." Lin Minghong extended his hand to invite several people into the villa.

They were all good at socializing and started chatting with Lin Minghong in a short while. Lin Minghong was indeed an upright base commander and he built the current base himself.

Both his own family and his wife's mother's family are powerful, and with this as a support, he has the affairs of the base firmly in his own hands. This is why Lin Ying said that he would definitely make those people pay the price.

The Dragon and Tiger Team can only be regarded as a medium-sized team among the superpower teams in Anjiang Base. There are at least 20 to 30 such teams in the base. They are not a particularly powerful force, but their captain has some relationship with the family that kidnapped Jiaojiao and Yingying, so they have support from the government and can stand out.

After what happened to Lin Ying and Lin Jiao, I'm afraid nothing will come of them. A civilian can completely control a base in his own hands after the end of the world, and it certainly won't be by just talking.

"By the way, Brother Lin, when we came in just now, I noticed that the base didn't collect any living supplies? And there was no place for refugees to live outside the city?" After three rounds of drinks, even the way they addressed each other changed. Ning Yuan did not collect any supplies when he brought Lin Ying in before.

However, when they entered the second door, Lin Ying had already found an acquaintance and brought them in directly. When they came in again later, they paid special attention and found that the people who followed them in did not pay any supplies except for inspection and registration.

"The base does not require the payment of supplies. Anyone who has registered and has a new base identity can enter, but the class stratification here is quite serious. The core of the base is inhabited by the management and the top-level psychic forces. The second floor is for those with abundant supplies or strong superpowers. The third floor is generally where the various teams live. The fourth floor is for ordinary people who do not have strong superpowers or few supplies."

Lin Minghong introduced the situation of the base to them in detail, "The construction of the base requires everyone to carry out. There is a unified task allocation every day, and whoever gets it will do it. In special circumstances, family members will take over. Those who cheat will be severely punished."

"It's pretty impressive. This is the first place I've seen where you can enter without paying any supplies," Ning Yuan said, and raised his glass to toast Lin Minghong.

Zhuang Mingxu was considering whether such a situation could be implemented in their future base.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, Lin Minghong settled the group in a nearby villa, which was only a hundred meters away so they could be heard by shouting if there was anything.

The furniture and facilities inside are complete, and there is even heating, which is extremely thoughtful.

Since they were already here, Zhuang Mingxu suggested that they could collect some of the things they needed here, which should be convenient as they could use Lin Minghong's power. Lu Weiyi had no objection to this, so Xu Sa immediately found Chen Guozhong, who agreed without even saying a word.

"The base arrested a lot of people last night," Li Zhuang said while having breakfast in the morning.

He was on guard last night, and from the sound of it, he must have gone for a walk again.

"Deal with the Dragon Tiger Team and that woman?" Xu Sa took a bite of a steamed bun and asked, "I didn't have the nerve to ask yesterday, what is that woman's background, how dare she kidnap people to force them into marriage?"

"His family is a wealthy businessman, and there were a lot of supplies after the end of the world. I heard through the grapevine that Lin Minghong's initial success was inseparable from his material support, and with the help of the supplies, he got a position in the management level of his family," Ning Yuan said.

Everyone looked at him at the same time, and Wu Yue asked, "When did you go to inquire about the news?" They had been together since they entered the base, and they had never seen him go out or meet anyone.

"I asked Lin Ying a few questions when I brought her into the base," Ning Yuan shrugged. "From what the girl said, that family might want to make decisions based on the abundance of supplies. Lin Minghong was already dissatisfied with them, but he couldn't find an excuse. Now... the excuse has been delivered to his door. I don't know how he dealt with it?"

"We captured them in a place that looks like a basement. There were about a hundred people, and they were handcuffed," said Li Zhuang, pausing for a moment. "I suspect they may have something here that can suppress super powers."

"What did you see?" This thing was a bit dangerous, and Lu Weiyi looked at Li Zhuang first.

"Those people were intact, a little disheveled, but not completely defenseless. The handcuffs they wore were very ordinary, but no one resisted. After being taken in, they never came out," said Li Zhuang.

"Could it be... that they did it voluntarily?" Xu Sa asked.

"Those who volunteer will not be handcuffed," Wu Yue said.

"And the leader is Chen Guozhong," said Li Zhuang.

"Anjiang City is considered a provincial capital, and it has many universities and research institutions. Lin Minghong is not short-sighted. It has been more than half a year since the end of the world, so it is not surprising that he can research something," said Zhuang Mingxu.

"Then why don't we..." Antonio suggested.

"..." Ning Yuan opened his mouth, "I really can't do such a thing when they are treating me to delicious food and drinks."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guozhong's voice was heard from outside. Bai Miao, who was closest to the door, opened it. Chen Guozhong was standing outside with a dozen people, all holding things in their hands.

"This is the jade we can get in a short time. Because jade now involves space, some people are unwilling to give it up even if they have it. These are all in our hands, and they are of high quality." After Chen Guozhong came in and said a few words, he asked someone to deliver the things over.

"We don't have any other live animals. To be honest, if I didn't see so few on your truck, I would ask you to bring a few back to raise. As for meat, we really can't get it. The management of the various teams in the base can't eat meat every day. I have asked people to sort out some of each condiment and put them on the truck outside. Look, what else do you need? In my opinion, you should stay a few more days so that we can show our hospitality."

"Uncle Zhong, I'm really sorry to trouble you with so many things. Just decide how much supplies you need and I'll exchange them for rice and flour." Ning Yuan immediately caught a glimpse of a small truck with boxes parked outside the villa. There were not too many things to attract attention, nor too few to be embarrassing. It was just the right amount.

"No need, these are all for you. You saved two children, and this is a small token of our Chief Lin Ji's appreciation. Please don't refuse," said Chen Guozhong.

"This..." Ning Yuan looked at Lu Weiyi.

Chen Guozhong also realized that this uncommunicative young man should be the team leader. Although he was surprised, he showed nothing on his face. "Master Lu, you really don't have to be polite. We are giving it to you with sincerity."

Zhuang Mingxu nodded towards Lu Weiyi and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Lu Weiyi said, "Then we will accept it. As a token of reciprocity, I will leave something for you as well." As he spoke, Lu Weiyi walked towards the yard.

"No, no, how can I let you stay any longer..." Chen Guozhong stopped talking halfway when he saw Lu Weiyi carrying out a two-meter-long fish tank with several live fish in it from the carriage.

"Is this... a fish?" He looked at the longest fish in the fish tank, which was over one meter long, and felt a little confused.

Ning Yuan immediately introduced, "This is a mutant freshwater fish with a very strong reproductive capacity. No special powers have been discovered yet, but it has a crystal core. We exchanged it with them when we passed by a base, but we didn't get much."

There seem to be only four of them, but their reproduction is amazing. After being placed on the positive side by Lu Weiyi, he did not notice the reaction of the space at first. In addition, he had been busy repairing the space recently, so he forgot about it. It was not until he was sorting things out recently that he saw that the container, which was not crowded at the beginning, was now completely crowded and could not be moved. What's more important is that Lu Weiyi had cut off their food for some time, but they did not die, which shows how tenacious their vitality is.

"This... I originally wanted to thank you, but now I have to take your things instead." There was indeed no such thing in the base, and Chen Guozhong could not refuse.

"It's nothing. Isn't it the time when we need to share what we have with each other?" Ning Yuan greeted. "Just put this in the water of a water-based psychic. The temperature should be the same as for raising fish. We are still exploring and cannot provide much experience."

"It's already very precious. I'll take people to settle it first. When are you leaving? I'll see you off," said Chen Guozhong, taking out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handing them over.

"Look at my memory. This is the map I asked someone to draw last night. These are the roads we have walked. After comparing them with the original map, they are closer to the current places. The areas marked with red pen are powerful zombies, and the areas marked with green pen are mutated plants. You can take them for reference."

"Okay, thank you very much," Ning Yuan took it and handed it to Lu Weiyi, "Let's pack up after dinner and set off around nine o'clock."

"Then I'll go back first. You guys take a rest and I'll come and see you off later," said Chen Guozhong.
