Chapter 552 Currency

When they saw them, everyone at the table stood up and started clapping without waiting for Chu Wanfu to say anything.

Behind Chu Wanfu, there was a long line of old people, women and children.

"You go and arrange for them."

President Shen patted his arm, then turned to see Xia Yan, who was sitting next to her with a kind smile, chatting about family matters and saying, "Have you been here for a while?"

Xia Yan also smiled and replied, "I just arrived not long ago and took a look around the factory. I didn't expect the construction here to be so well done."

"Yeah, I didn't expect that Xiao Chu is such a down-to-earth person. I feel at ease leaving this to him."

The two chatted for a while and then stopped talking at the same time.

After a while, the field was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

It was customary to say something before the meal. Chu Wanfu handed the microphone to Mr. Shen, and words like "new construction", "getting on the right track", "each branch base has its own responsibilities", "main planting", and "long-term development" were heard at the scene.

Everyone listened eagerly to these prospects for the future, wishing Mr. Shen could break them down and explain them bit by bit.

The more detailed the plans are, the more hope they have for life.

Next it was Chu Wanfu's turn, and he was decisive and efficient.

"Several new rules and regulations have been announced. The first is to name the base Chuntai Base, the only base on the island. Residents will be issued a new ID card that can be used for multiple purposes, including identity verification, payment, deposits and withdrawals."

"Secondly, the commercial district will be fully completed in six months. Any interested business owner is welcome to rent space. If you are a space-based esper with accumulated inventory that you can't consume, you will receive a permanent 10% discount on the cost of using the portal when you open a store on the island."

"The third rule," he said, his gaze fixed on the side, "is to introduce a second type of currency, which will have the same purchasing power as crystal cores."

"Article 4. Since the Shancheng base has been transferred to another base manager, any residents who wish to return must decide whether to stay or go within one week. No one will be accepted after this time."

"Number five...Please ask Dean Ji and Dean Jiang to come to the front."

Dean Ji walked slowly onto the stage with the support of Jiang Li. His right leg joint was stiff as he walked, and he looked very unsteady.

But when everyone saw his hair was full of silver, they sighed as if they had found the answer.

When people get old, it becomes difficult to walk.

Fortunately, the problem with my leg only occurred now. If it were half a year ago, I would probably be the first one to be chased and bitten to death by zombies.

Behind them were two young people, a man and a woman, both wearing masks. Although their full appearance could not be seen clearly, it could be seen that they had outstanding looks and were extraordinary.

Especially the tall man among them, he actually has a pair of ice-blue eyes, which are both clear and bright, yet deep and unfathomable.

Hey, isn’t this Fan Shuyi and her boyfriend Gan Zijing? Why are they here?

How did you convince Gan Zijing to leave Lidai Island?

Xia Yan became more energetic.

Xia Yan was sitting in the front row, and Fan Shuyi saw him almost immediately. She tugged at Gan Zijing's sleeve and raised her chin when the other person looked at her.

Gan Zijing's beautiful eyes moved to Xia Yan, and a flash of doubt and confusion passed through his eyes, but under Fan Shuyi's repeated urging, he nodded slightly to Xia Yan as a greeting.

Seeing this, Fan Shuyi smiled, stretched out her hand into his palm, and clasped her five fingers together.

Gan Zijing held her hand and put it in his pocket.

Can we eat dog food in such a serious occasion?

Xia Yan suddenly felt a deadly sweet taste in his mouth, it was so choking.

In the brief moment of interaction between the two, Dean Ji had already finished his introduction and got to the point:

"As I just said, based on current research, the zombie virus cannot be effectively attenuated. No matter which route it takes, once it enters the human body, it will infect human cells within a short period of time and multiply at an extremely fast rate until it invades the brain. We thought our research had reached a dead end, but an unexpected discovery led us to discover a new hope."

"From the precious Experiment No. 7, we extracted the super-inert wood-type superpower factor. Unlike other wood-type superpowers, it has a greater effect on the transformation of the human body, perfectly achieving the regeneration of a severed arm!"

Having said that, Dean Ji lifted up his trouser leg, exposing his right leg, which was turning light brown from the middle of the thigh, to everyone.

"hiss--!"

There was a sound of gasps at the scene.

His legs were completely paralyzed!

No wonder it was so slow and difficult to walk just now!

"I know what everyone is thinking," Dean Ji brushed away Jiang Li's hand and took a few steps forward.

When the right leg was bent, the original shape of the knee joint could still be seen, and the surface of the leg was still smooth and polished, like a wooden bead that had been polished for a long time...

"You think I walk slowly because of my petrification, right?"

Everyone shook their heads and nodded.

Dean Ji laughed softly, like a child trying to be clever and amusing an adult.

"You guessed wrong, I'm not like this because I've become petrified, I'm just in the initial stage of adaptation!

"After extensive research, we've divided the lignification process into three stages. I'm currently in the first stage. The second stage is the semi-adaptation stage, and the third stage is the super-body stage. Don't overthink it; it simply means transcending the original body."

Everyone: Tsk~

Dean Ji disagreed and continued, "You spotted me right away, but did you notice there's another person at the scene who has reached the superhuman stage and is standing right under your noses?"

His words instantly aroused the enthusiasm of the crowd, and they made all kinds of guesses. For a while, the place was as noisy as a quiz show. However, it was difficult to hide their subconscious habit, and they had to raise their hands every time they answered.

"My next-door neighbor always runs outside in the middle of the night and pouts at the sky, saying he's absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon."

"I guess it's General Chu Wanfu, because he has an iron fist!"

"Since you're all so bold, I'll let loose for once. I'll bet two crystal cores that it's definitely Boss Xia! Because I always feel like she's not human!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Xia Yan turned his head expressionlessly towards the source of the voice, stared at the other person for a few seconds, and said indifferently, "What's your points card number?"

"...038101."

"Thank you very much."

Three seconds later, the man's screams pierced the condensed atmosphere hanging over the factory.

"Blacklisted by the boss? Will it be automatically unblocked in fifteen seconds? Boss Xia! I'm just a child and I can't stop talking!"

Xiong Xiong stood up proudly, exchanged the remaining points in his card for crystal cores, and the remaining balance for food, which he put in a small bag and threw over.

"Take it."

"Don't ever let me see you again, or I'll scratch your face with my titanium claws~"
