Between processing clothes and shoes, reopening the cement factory, and drawing water, the carefully calculated electricity from Dayanshan's power station was quickly exhausted. They had no choice but to use the engine and diesel to generate electricity, burning oil every minute and every second, which made Lin Man very distressed.

She worked even harder to make supernatural weapons, and finally produced a batch of tactical knives and two long swords. Their appearance was somewhat different from Lin Cheng's, but their functions and quality were similar, except that they still did not have the two red lines - if they did, Lin Man would be willing to sell them.

Of course, although the quality of the knives is similar, how much power they can exert depends mainly on the ability of the knife owner.

As a reward for the two knives, she didn't need to hire any psychics, she could just give her oil and coal - there were too many people, and the firewood that had run out of stock was definitely not enough to burn, and coal was as important as oil that could generate electricity.

As for the batch of tactical knives, in addition to winter supplies, she also wanted all the seeds she could get in the north, whether they were native or artificially cultivated in the research institute, including branches of any trees, grass with roots, bees and insects in the plantation.

Anyway, all the species that could be obtained were brought to her. Lin Man felt that the species on Dayan Mountain were still too single. When the weather got warmer, she decided to plant all the species in the space in every corner, including flowers, thorns and weeds that she thought were useless.

Of course, it would be best to plant lots of trees.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the newlyweds arrived.

Putting aside those people with special abilities and their families, the others were in a state of extreme plight. They got off the plane and looked at this new place in a daze and with caution.

They had lived in various places before, and when they were found, they cried and begged each other to take them to a better place. As long as they had food to eat and a stable life, they were willing to do anything.

Eventually, they learned that the larger bases were unwilling to take them in because they were too frail to work; because they spoke a variety of languages, making communication difficult; because they formed countless small groups within them, and because there had been no rules or regulations, making it difficult to control them; and because they were too dirty and might have infectious diseases...

They were placed at the site of a base called Dongyang Base, given only a small amount of relief food every day, and then waited to see how those people would arrange for them.

Then, they were brought to this place again. Many of them brought their new belongings from the Dongyang base. If this place was not reliable, they would leave at any time.

Lin Man looked at the skinny faces, took a deep breath, and felt a little heavy-hearted, as if a heavy burden was placed on his shoulders.

It was so cold, but most of these people only had tattered clothes, were barefoot, or wore shoes that could not even be called shoes. It was said that many of these were made for themselves using local materials when they were living in the original Dongyang base.

She had no intention of asking them to stand in the cold wind to listen to her talk, so a group of them got off the plane and were immediately taken to settle down.

Every room had a heated kang (kang), making it much warmer than outside. A thin blanket covered the kang. After registering their name, everyone received a winter coat—yes, just a coat, a vest tucked inside, and a pair of underwear. This was the best Dayanshan could offer. They also received a pair of shoes—if the size of the clothes or shoes wasn't right, they could exchange them or ask the management for a replacement later.

There is an earthen stove in each room, with two large pots of water boiling in it, one for washing and the other for eating. In addition, there is a large bucket of cold water, several washbasins, and some wood ash. In addition to winter clothes, each person can also receive a small square cloth as a towel, so that they can do some simple washing.

Because the rooms are allocated separately for men, women, young and old, there is no problem of exposing privacy, and I guess no one cares about this issue at this time.

Of course, considering that they had just arrived and were physically exhausted or mentally alert, each of them was given a bowl of corn porridge before they were asked to wash up.

The bowl is not big. It is a pottery bowl that was made recently. The workmanship is a bit rough and the sizes are not exactly the same. In order to save firewood and produce more finished products, Dayanshan also built an earthen kiln under the leadership of several old people. In addition to the pottery bowl, the basin that each person has is also made of clay mixed with loess.

Corn paste is made from dried new corn. It is not watery but quite thick. The fragrance can be smelled from far away. It is so delicious that it makes people drool. When a bowl of warm paste is held in the hands, many people shed tears.

At the Dongyang base, all they ate was cold, stale, and extremely unpalatable. They didn't expect that when they arrived at this new place, they would not only have hot water and hot water to drink, but they could also eat hot food right away.

The bright color and delicate texture of the cornmeal made them feel incredibly delicious even before they tasted it. Once they ate it, their taste buds instantly awakened, and so did their hearts, which had been numbed beneath their skins. They devoured it with eagerness, tears streaming down their cheeks, their restless, cold, and exhausted hearts suddenly at peace.

Lin Man didn't realize that she had won the hearts of most people with bowls of corn porridge. She was so busy that she had a headache. What was missing here? What was missing there? This group of people didn't speak the same language and couldn't understand, so it was difficult to arrange them. Some families didn't want to be separated. There was also an elderly person who fainted as soon as he got off the plane. Some children had wounds that were infected and inflamed.

She could hand over the material management arrangements to others, but as the only two people with healing abilities on Dayan Mountain, she had to run around like a madman.

No wonder the Northern Base is unwilling to take in these people. Their physical fitness is really too poor.

He also needed to accommodate the psychics. They couldn't be crowded into one large house like the others, with dozens of people. Most of them had families with them, and as psychics, they were quite proud. Lin Man was counting on them to provide spiritual energy, so he couldn't be too careless. He also gathered a few of the healing psychics to help out.

They were not very willing to start working right away, so Lin Man explained the point system to them, and with the soldiers watching them eagerly, most of them were willing to do it.

This gave Lin Man some time to catch his breath.

They were busy until dark, and this group of talents were finally settled.

Then it was time for dinner again. With so many people missing, a lot of manpower and work were needed. Fortunately, everyone was very active in order to earn points. Even though it seemed that the treatment would not be good for a long time to come, everything would be fine once the weather warmed up, planting began, and solar power generation began.

Moreover, Lin Man promised that once the first batch of chicks have grown up, points can be exchanged for roosters in April. Naturally, you have to save up as many points as possible at this time. You know, a rooster's points are very high. Even if you can't exchange them for attacks, it's okay to exchange them for a few eggs to eat.

To boost everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Man accepted nearly all of the survivors from the previous wave as full members. Originally there were over 700 of them, and with the subsequent additions of 600 to 700 newcomers and 300 warriors, the current number of full members reached over 1,700. This alone kept everyone busy. Fortunately, her father had lent her a thousand men to maintain order, otherwise the situation would have been even more chaotic.

After a few days of busy work, these more than 30,000 people finally adapted to the life here, and everything gradually became orderly. The management team began to make detailed registrations, including name, order, place of origin, specialty, job requirements and expectations, and their relationship with others here, etc., and made sure to record everyone's situation in detail.

In the small room where the film was being stretched, a card-making machine appeared. This was one of the gifts Lin Zhongrong had brought with him last time. Dayan Mountain was now using this machine to produce ID cards. After several days of trial and error, meetings, and discussions, they finally decided to create cards that mimicked the style of pre-apocalyptic ID cards, but they wanted to incorporate Dayan Mountain's characteristics. A mountain would appear in the background, and under the large banner of China, the words "Dayan Mountain Peace Base" would be written.

Formal members hold white ID cards, and newcomers hold blue temporary residence permits. They will need these everywhere in their future life and work, and they will also need to show their documents when entering and leaving the base.

Lin Man also received an ID card, and was surprised for a moment; it was her first time getting a confirmed ID, while the other official members were proud to have one. Zhang Kaiqi and Song Hui came to Lin Man, crying, asking why they had temporary residence permits. Temporary residence permits were only valid for six months, so what would happen when they expired?

Lin Man replied: "Is your household registration with me?"

Two people: "Where is the concept of household registration still used now?"

"Anyway, I have this to say. Your roots are in the Reunion Base, and you're actually still residents of the Reunion Base. Your household registration isn't here, so you can't get an ID card here." Lin Man said, comfortingly, "Okay, I'll just issue you a new one after six months. I promised you that I'd let you live here permanently, and I won't break my promise."

But after six months, most of these newcomers would have had to renew their IDs, right? Those who couldn't must have failed the review and would be kicked out. Wouldn't that mean they were the only two people on the entire mountain holding temporary residence permits? How out of place and embarrassing would that be?

They were all gloomy and sad, especially when they saw Qi Youfu, who stayed here for the same reason as them, but got a white identity certificate, which made them even more unhappy.

Qi Youfu chuckled and said, "I've brought my younger brothers and sisters here. We're truly residents of Dayan Mountain now, so of course we can get ID cards. You'd better forget it. Where your household registration is, you're considered a native of that place. Even if you say so yourself, it doesn't count. Having a residence permit is good enough."

The two had no way to refute and could only work harder. A residence permit is a residence permit. Anyway, it doesn't say that people holding residence permits cannot accumulate points or use points to exchange for roosters. In other words, only people with residence permits will get fewer points than people holding ID cards if they put in the same amount of work.

That is to say, the salary is about ten percent lower. I am so angry, as if I lost 100 million yuan in vain.

After understanding the connotation of the points system and figuring out the difference between a temporary residence permit and an ID card, the formal members became more proud and felt that all the extra efforts they made compared to those who came later were worth it. Their cohesion and sense of collective honor became stronger.

The newcomers were secretly determined: they had to perform well, pass the review in advance, and get their ID cards. Ten percent of their salary was no joke.

When Lin Man produced these two certificates, she did not expect such a result, but she was also very happy with the effect.
