Chapter 138 The Long Road Ahead

However, they never expected that when the management saw Lu Xingtang, Ji Yanmo, and Su Cheng, they all silently put away their guns. This made the Sheng brothers furious: "Are you planning to betray Shuanglong Base?"

All the crooked members of the management team were killed by Lu Xingtang and his two companions. Now there are only five people in the management team, and they still have no say. If they don't obey, they will be shot.

Besides, the five of them had long been dissatisfied with the management of the Sheng brothers, and had long been squeezed out by other management, and could no longer survive in the Shuanglong base.

This is not the most critical issue. What is more important is the inaction of the Sheng brothers, their discrimination against low-class refugees, their failure to follow established rules and regulations, and their investment of all financial resources in useless scientific research, which led to the disintegration of the base and caused complaints from both rich and poor people.

If it weren't for the hard work of the lower-class refugees, who labored daily to survive, they might not even have enough to eat. The rich, unwilling to work for necessities, simply exchanged a little food for the poor, allowing them to work and lead lives even better than before the apocalypse.

"Base Commander, we didn't betray Shuanglong Base. It was your base commander who betrayed Shuanglong Base! Therefore, you deserve what you have today!"

"We've long advised you, brothers, that now that the apocalypse has arrived, things are no longer the same as they were before it. We told you to focus all your energy on the base and survival, but you insisted on focusing on scientific research! If you weren't so cruel, we wouldn't have ignored your miserable state!"

"Damn it!" The Sheng Qiaojin brothers were extremely angry, but no matter how angry they were, it was of no use. They became prisoners.

Su Cheng saw the situation of the management and looked back at Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo. Seeing that they had expressionless faces and no trace of fear or worry in their black eyes, he immediately had an idea in his heart, so he made a very bold decision.

His dark eyes fell on the base management and others. "Give us a list of the disobedient people in the base, and then gather everyone in the base square. No one, rich or poor, should be left behind! If anyone disobeys, they will be dealt with on the spot. We don't need people like them in our base!"

After a pause, he said, "Also, I want to inform you that from now on, Shuanglong Base will no longer exist. Shuanglong Base will be renamed Hope Base. It is the base of hope for all survivors of the apocalyptic disaster! I hope you will work hard for yourselves and for the base. Together, we will resist the disaster, build our own fortress, and strive to survive."

Except for Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo, everyone looked at Su Cheng in shock. What he meant was that the base had changed hands!

And they are the new owners of the base!

The managers immediately exchanged glances to inquire about each other's opinions. After seeing everyone nod, one of them looked at Su Cheng and said, "Su Cheng, although the Sheng brothers established the base and provided a shelter for the refugees in the apocalypse, they never managed the base with their heart. Instead, they handed the base over to the shady management below. This has led to the base being divided into several factions, and there are constant internal struggles between the rich and the poor. Now the Shuanglong base is rotten to the core.

If anyone is willing to reorganize the base and lead it to survive the apocalypse, we will support them no matter who they are! We just hope they don't go down the same old path!"

"We support it too!" This is a patrol team formed by refugees from the base. "Since entering the base, we've been doing the hardest and most tiring work, but we get the least in terms of supplies. They say the supplies are distributed according to regulations, but every time they are distributed, half of the supplies are withheld, forcing us to go out and find supplies to survive!"

"Even when I was sick and came to the base hospital for treatment, even though the base allowed us poor people to see a doctor and agreed to exchange supplies for medicine, every time we left the base hospital, the medicine would be snatched away! We reported it to the security team, but they ignored us and said whoever stole the supplies should be punished. They even called us incompetent and occasionally beat us up!"

"Our demands are not high. As long as we have food to eat, a place to live and medical care when we are sick, that's enough."

Su Cheng responded to everyone's request very seriously: "Don't worry, as long as I successfully take over the base, I will not allow the termites to cause trouble in the base! I will ensure that everyone has food, shelter, and medicine. Everything must be done strictly according to the rules and regulations! Therefore, before accepting the base, we must completely eliminate the termites in the base and ensure that everyone in the base can survive well in the apocalypse."

After getting Su Cheng's guarantee, the management immediately took people back and called everyone in the base to gather in the square.

Lu Xingtang and the others threw the Sheng brothers into the Maserati, let Su Cheng sit in the passenger seat, and Ji Yanmo drove to the square under Su Cheng's command.

After arriving at the square, Su Cheng turned on the base loudspeaker and asked everyone to gather in the square. There was an important announcement and everyone, whether on duty or at home, had to go to the square. The names of the survivors who went out to look for supplies were recorded and they would be notified individually when the time came.

Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out. Lu Xingtang looked at Su Cheng and said, "It seems quite a few people are disobeying orders and are determined to commit suicide!"

"They are probably from the rich area or the bad guys who are used to bullying others. It doesn't matter. We will deal with them sooner or later!" How can we stabilize the base if we don't deal with them?

"Su Cheng, the responsibility of being the base commander is heavy and long! Just go ahead and do it. We won't leave until the base is stable."

Su Cheng also knew this, but he promised that he would manage their Hope Base well.

After an hour, most of the people at the base had arrived.

The manager gave Su Cheng a list: "Except for those who were paralyzed at home or seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed, everyone else came! Regardless of whether they were rich or poor, most people were reluctant to come at first, but after we shot and killed a few of the more troublesome ones, they became quiet!"

The security team members were also very dishonest at the beginning. They shot and killed several troublemakers and the parasites left by the base commander, and then they all became obedient.

Then, he handed over a list: "This list contains all the base's parasites. They have existed since the base was established and are constantly increasing. Every parasite has someone protecting them, so we, the powerless management, can't do anything to them. Now, all of them are handed over to the base commander!"

Su Cheng looked at the list and matched it with some of the people he remembered: "What about the rich people?"

"The rich were in a state of chaos. Not only did they have food and guns, but they were also reluctant to follow our instructions. That's why the security team went in and killed over 30 of the rich leaders before they finally calmed down! Now they're all here!"

Su Cheng had long guessed that those people in the rich area would not obey, especially when they knew that the base commander was replaced by an unknown person who was imprisoned by the Sheng brothers. They would not accept it and might even rebel immediately and occupy the base.

The management placed several large speakers around the square. After testing the speakers and finding that there were no problems, they placed a chair in the middle of the platform and asked Su Cheng to sit down and speak into several microphones.

Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang were guarding Su Cheng's safety.
