Chapter 140 Driven by Interests

Qin Xiu stretched out a hand and waved it casually behind him, indicating that he understood.

The assistant bowed and retreated silently.

"Let's go. Whether we can hold the base firmly depends on you." After saying that, Qin Xiu looked at Grandpa Pei again.

"Hmph, don't look at me, I'm not going!" After saying that, Mr. Pei's face fell, he stood up with his crutches and was about to walk out.

His personal butler wanted to help him but was waved away. He was no longer in charge, but he was still in good health!

This group of younger generations are more troublesome than the other. They have become even more unscrupulous after the death of their elders. They will not stop until they destroy all the bases of Dragon Country.

How is he going to explain to those old guys after he dies? If only he died earlier, he wouldn't have to face these bad things.

Alas, it’s all fate…

Although Mr. Pei left first, he walked slowly and arrived at the gate of the building with Qin Xiu and his group.

Mr. Pei glanced at the others. Qin Xiu bowed slightly and extended his hand toward the door: "Old man, please go first."

Old Master Pei looked at Qin Xiu, the only one among the arrogant group who still understood some etiquette, and said kindly: "There is still room for turning back now. Don't ruin yourself. Qiuyue is a good child. You took good care of Miaomiao after she was gone. Don't let your family be torn apart again."

Qin Xiu lowered his head, maintaining his previous posture, making it impossible to see the emotions in his eyes. However, there was a subtle difference in his voice: "I understand, Uncle Pei."

Mr. Pei patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the door.

When Qin Xiu raised his head again, there was no other emotion in his eyes. He walked quickly to the prepared platform with the people behind him.

As soon as they appeared inside the wall, the already noisy crowd outside the wall suddenly seemed to boil over, with all kinds of insults mixed together, and it was impossible to hear what they were saying.

Qin Xiu picked up the microphone and bowed deeply to the endless crowd on the street.

The voices below did not drop due to his actions, and Qin Xiu did not care. He picked up the microphone and spoke solemnly: "To all residents of Base No. 1, I am the base commander Qin Xiu.

I believe that everyone who comes here has seen the contents on the paper. I will answer your questions about this matter one by one, and afterward, everyone will vote on how to deal with it.

But now I have a request. Please stand still in an orderly manner to prevent a stampede and unnecessary casualties.

You are the future of the Dragon Nation and of humanity. Without any of you, it would be a huge loss to the future revival of humanity."

Qin Xiu's words were transmitted to everyone's ears through the loudspeakers on every street, and the sound echoed in the streets for a long time.

As soon as he said this, many people who were still confused immediately felt a little better about him. Even more people called him a hypocrite, saying that he was using living people for experiments and was still worried about a stampede. He was afraid that if they lost one person, they would lose another experimental subject!

At the same time, many people remain neutral and wait to see what the al-Qaeda leaders will do.

In short, nearly 90% of the people in the base had left, a full ten million, and they all gathered near the streets of the military stronghold. From above, it was a sea of ​​black heads. It looked like a dense swarm of tadpoles squirming in a small river. It was truly disgusting, Zheng Guan thought.

"First, regarding everyone's comments about me and Deputy Base Commander Zheng Guan agreeing to Wu Dao staying and supporting him to continue the experiment, I solemnly tell you that it is true."

As soon as Qin Xiu finished speaking, the noise below reached an unprecedented level of noise, and almost everyone was cursing him and Zheng Guan.

Qin Xiu's expression remained unchanged. On the big screen, he appeared calm and composed: "But I have something to add about this point. Although it may sound incredible, what I said is absolutely not false.

The zombies will evolve again in a few months, and by then level three and four zombies will account for the majority.

Although our base has been dedicated to killing zombies and upgrading the levels of psychics, Dragon Country's 1.4 billion people have now become zombies, accounting for 95-98%. The number of zombies is still a huge number.

Currently, there are only about forty people in the base who have been upgraded to level four, but by then there will be millions of level four zombies.

Given humanity's current state of affairs and its current level of armament, I can say without hesitation that humanity's true end has arrived. By then, humanity will truly decline and perish, and aside from our buildings, there will be no trace of human existence left on the Blue Planet.

Silence, unprecedented silence. Although there was still a hint of discussion, it was barely audible. Tens of millions of people were silent at this moment.

If it is really as he said, then they won't have many days left to live. They have finally adapted to the current environment, but now they are told that they are about to die. How can they be willing to accept this?

After the silence, there was a noise even louder than before, like the chirping of countless mice and sparrows.

Qin Xiu was not affected at all, and after a brief pause he continued, “You may wonder what the connection is between leaving behind the martial arts and the end of the world, and I will explain it here.

"Martial arts research can change a person's physique and give an ordinary person superpowers. If the superpowers currently in our base are not enough to resist the zombies, what about our more than 10 million superpowers?"

Just a simple sentence can instantly move half of the people.

Superpowers, that's what ordinary people yearn for. Especially nowadays, everyone with superpowers lives a good life. As long as you have superpowers, you can cross classes and become a superior person. Who doesn't like that?

Zheng Guan looked at the people whose attitudes had changed drastically and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. As long as there is enough interest, everything can be changed, right?

Qin Xiu didn't care about the attitude of his subordinates at all and continued his speech: "Secondly, martial arts research has indeed harmed many people. But since our leadership found out, they forced him to use the method of recruiting volunteers.

The subjects he currently uses are all volunteers. The base will provide them with the highest possible compensation, and in the event of their unfortunate death, a pension will be distributed to their relatives. This includes, but is not limited to, researched supernatural potions, guaranteed employment, and permanent housing.

After the success of the martial arts research, we will prioritize distributing the supernatural potion to the relatives of the volunteers. We have drawn up a list of those who have been harmed by the martial arts research, and will distribute compensation in equal shares to the volunteers.

Perhaps you're wondering why no one around you has received it. We consider that the cost of spreading rumors is too low these days, making it extremely easy to mislead the public and cause unnecessary unrest. Therefore, we originally planned to distribute compensation after the martial arts research was successful.

But now that everyone is aware of this, compensation will be distributed immediately. Compensation is limited to parents, spouses, and children. If there are no such relatives, it will be extended to uncles, parents-in-law, nieces, and nephews.

Volunteers have the right to independently designate compensation recipients, and some family members may not be able to receive compensation."
