Ning Xuan never expected that going on a vacation and hiking to relax would lead to disaster. A mischievous kid disturbed a hornet's nest and sprinted away, but she, with a body aged beyond her...
Chapter 156 12 people per room
Now that people have started joining the base, one small villa is definitely not enough. Fortunately, the weather here in the post-apocalyptic world has passed the hottest period. Although the average daily temperature is still around 30 degrees Celsius, it is much better than the extremely hot period before.
Perhaps everyone's bodies have adapted, so they all feel that the current temperature is relatively cool.
Han Dongling planned to first ask Ning Xuan for a batch of mobile prefabricated houses to use as dormitories, and then organize everyone to start production, setting up a brick kiln to produce bricks.
These tasks can be assigned to ordinary survivors without superpowers, while those with stronger superpowers can go and fight for the crystal cores.
Cheng Hui and Lu Lu are both quite capable managers, so Han Dongling decided to make them group leaders first.
With an assistant, Han Dongling listed out the general points policy she had previously conceived, and then, together with Cheng Hui and Lu Lu, refined it further. The points policy for the Spark Base was put into operation the next day.
Han Dongling's points policy mainly adheres to the principle of "more work, more pay," with each task assigned a point based on its difficulty.
Because there are few people now, we will not adopt the principle of voluntary acceptance of tasks, but will directly assign tasks based on the abilities of the survivors.
If survivors feel they can handle more demanding tasks, they can volunteer. If they are satisfied with the trial and it works, they can do it; if not, they can go back to their original tasks.
After earning points, members can exchange them for supplies at Han Dongling's place.
Since Cheng Hui and his group had just arrived, Han Dongling wasn't ready to entrust them with managing the supplies. So, she was still in charge of the supplies exchange herself. After a while, she would select two people from this group to help record and tally the basic supplies exchange.
Right now, since it's just the beginning, she has to work a little harder herself.
In order not to delay her own affairs, she set aside a specific time each day for exchanging supplies.
Anyway, there aren't many people here right now, so it can all be redeemed in less than two hours.
Ordinary mobile prefabricated houses are much cheaper than Han Dongling's small villa. Lin Yuhan had looked at mobile houses and prefabricated houses before, and ordered a batch of them. So when Han Dongling wanted a batch of mobile prefabricated houses to be used as dormitories for the new members, Lin Yuhan quickly got it sorted out.
Lin Yuhan also learned that they were going to build infrastructure and dormitories, and even prepared bunk beds, the kind that are very common in student dormitories.
Although it was just a very ordinary mobile prefabricated house, Cheng Hui and the others were still amazed by Han Dongling's generosity and felt that they had made the right choice in following her.
"Currently, conditions are limited. The men will stay here, and the women will stay here. We'll have 12 people per room for now. Cheng Hui and Lu Lu, you two can arrange it. Just draw lots. If anyone can't sleep in the top bunk, they can ask someone who drew the bottom bunk to switch. No fuss."
In fact, no one complained. Everyone was amazed by the clean, spacious and bright dormitory. Although it was 12 people per room, the accommodation density was much better than when they were at Base 37.
The crowd lined up, each person drawing a lot. After they finished, they eagerly carried their meager luggage to find their berths.
In fact, Cheng Hui and Lu Lu felt the same way. Looking at the dormitory bunk they had drawn, they inexplicably felt like they had found a home and a place to call home.
Because it was only the beginning, although Han Dongling had already selected Cheng Hui and Lu Lu as group leaders, due to limited resources, she did not grant them special privileges so quickly. They still lived in a dormitory with 12 people in one room, just like everyone else.
If they want better accommodations in the future, they will have to perform well on their own. She will also give them some rewards based on their contributions. These measures will be implemented one by one in the future management of the base.
Now, each dormitory room only has a bed, not even a mat, it's all bare, but everyone's hearts have settled down, and they've made up their minds to work hard with Han Dongling.
Some people might be curious about where Han Dongling got these supplies, but that's just curiosity, not much suspicion. After all, Han Dongling is a space ability user, and so far, no one has a complete understanding of the abilities of ability users. Some ability users are very powerful, while others' abilities seem rather useless.
The next day, Han Dongling had the ordinary survivors clear the suitable sites she had found for building brick kilns. She also left the excavator with them; fortunately, one of them knew how to operate it, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Then Han Dongling led the ability users to attack the crystal cores, which was also a way to attack the mutated thorn vines. The thorn vines they attacked were used to encircle the base, serving as the base's perimeter wall.
She was thinking of making the base a little bigger now, so she needed quite a lot of thorn vines. Fortunately, the mutated thorn vines were just like the thorny climbing plants that were very common in the mountains before the apocalypse, and they were everywhere.
However, the mutated thorns are thicker, longer, and harder, making them perfect for use as a barrier.
Besides leading the ability users to fight crystal cores, Han Dongling also remembered to check on the sweet potatoes she had planted on the land where she had previously undergone tribulation, every day.
To Han Dongling's great delight, this land really could grow normal plants. The sweet potatoes she planted sprouted tender shoots in just 3 days.
Perhaps due to the purification of spiritual energy, the soil in this small patch was very fertile, and she felt that the sweet potatoes were growing quite fast.
Now that she was certain that normal plants could grow on this land, she didn't want to waste any time and quickly arranged for people to come here to cultivate and take care of the land.
However, the people in her base, even those with superpowers, are not particularly strong; they are just physically stronger. For safety reasons, Han Dongling decided to activate a defensive and deceptive array here first.
This way, the safety of people who come here to farm is guaranteed, and the existence of this land can be temporarily concealed. Once their base becomes stronger, or she develops a method to purify the land, the existence of this land will be revealed.
The people chosen to farm here are Yang Ming and Teng Pingke. Both of them have experience in farming and are well-suited to work on the farm.
That's right, Han Dongling decided to call the purified land a farm. While it's not too late in the season, she plans to quickly plant a batch of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Their base is short-staffed now; that area might be enough to feed them.
Then, the majority of the grain she traded with Ning Xuan in her storage ring was used to replenish supplies and for trading with other bases.
Yang Ming and Teng Pingke thought they were seeing things when they saw the perfectly normal flowers and plants and the sweet potatoes that had grown to about ten centimeters tall.
