"I will go and test the performance of the helmet myself tomorrow," said Major Pei.
Base Chief Fu nodded in agreement, then thought for a moment and said, "Also, we will urgently recruit gold-type mutants tomorrow and build a few defensive houses in each district that can temporarily house the survivors. Once mutant creatures are found approaching, they can be taken in to hide."
"Then choose a large building and let the gold-type mutant have it reinforced like the villa Xiaowen built. Then once the door is closed, there is no need to worry about mutant rats getting in." Major Pei obviously thought of this as well.
"For safety reasons, it's best to have a gold-type mutant of level 2 or above." Wen Yubai added, she had also thought of this method.
As long as this safe house is built well, when the mutant rats attack, the people can hide in the safe house, and the people fighting outside will not have to be stretched to the limit of killing the mutant rats and protecting the people.
Furthermore, if every person participating in the battle wears protective clothing, there will be no need to worry about being besieged and bitten by the mutant rats because there are too few people and too many mutant rats.
"Starting tomorrow, the entire Base No. 5 will enter a state of war preparation. All outbound missions will be canceled, and all those who are out will be called back," said Base Commander Fu.
"Also, the food in the base must be hidden well, otherwise it will probably be eaten up by the mutant rats. I'll go reinforce the warehouse tomorrow morning." Wen Yubai said.
Wen Yubai recalled that in his previous life, after Base No. 5 was ravaged by a swarm of mutant rats, the entire base fell into a food crisis, and in the end it had to rely on eating the meat of the mutant rats killed in the base to survive.
Until the supplies from other bases were delivered, but at this time other bases were also short of food and clothing. Although Base No. 1 tried its best to adjust, the amount of food delivered might not be much.
Therefore, most people in Base No. 5 were in a semi-starved state for a long time, and even the psychics could not have a full meal.
This state lasted for a long time and it somewhat affected the advancement of the psychic.
"Okay, Xiaowen, you go to reinforce the warehouse early tomorrow morning, and then go to the military district's logistics department. I will have people collect as much metal as possible for you. You should hurry up and get some more protective clothing. After this matter is over, I will reward you based on your merits." said Captain Fu Jichang.
Base Director Fu is a very good person. Every time he asks Wen Yubai to do something, although he never tells her about the remuneration, Wen Yubai always receives a large sum of crystal cores afterwards.
Just like when they went to Base No. 7 to pick up Professor Ye, after they came back, Captain Fu gave her 10,000 crystal cores, and Wen Weize also got 3,000 crystal cores.
However, after eavesdropping on the conversation between Base Captain Fu and Major Pei, Wen Yubai felt tormented when she knew that they selflessly wanted to give her the rare purple crystal core so that she could advance and have more "precognitive dreams" that would benefit the country and the people.
Because she knew that Major Pei could also absorb this purple crystal core. Although he was a mutated psychic, he was still a psychic.
If Major Pei can absorb this crystal core, his wind-based ability will most likely be able to rise from the early third level to the middle third level.
At this time, the door of the study was knocked a few times, and then opened. Su Yongquan walked in and asked, "What are you talking about?"
As soon as he came back, his aunt told him that his uncle, Shibin and Xiaowen were discussing something in the study, and asked him to go in as soon as he came back.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and Lian Xiaowen was in the study. Su Yongquan guessed that something must have happened.
Major Pei told Wen Yubai about what he saw in his dream: a group of mutant rats besieging Base No. 5.
Su Yongquan exclaimed, "The day before yesterday, the Fourth Regiment went to Zhuxi City to eliminate zombies. They stayed overnight in a small county town not far from Zhuxi City, and encountered a group of mutant rats in the middle of the night."
The three people's eyes immediately fell on his face. They had just mentioned the mutant rat swarm and someone had encountered it.
The straight-line distance between Zhuxi City and Base No. 5 is only over 100 kilometers. Given the strength of the current mutant animals, it is not surprising that they have to run over 100 kilometers back and forth.
"What's the result?" asked Base Chief Fu.
"They returned to the base at six in the afternoon. I haven't asked them in detail, but the commander of the Fourth Regiment said that at night a swarm of more than one hundred and ten mutant rats broke into the house where they lived. Those mutant rats were very ferocious and bit seven ordinary mercenaries to death." Su Yongquan said.
"How many people did the Fourth Regiment bring on the mission?" asked Base Captain Fu.
"There are more than 4,000 people in total, and more than 500 of them are people with special abilities," said Su Yongquan.
More than 500 people with special abilities outnumbered the more than 100 mutant rats by several times, but seven of them were still killed. This shows that these mutant rats are indeed ferocious.
"Tomorrow you will ask the Fourth Regiment Commander about the specific situation in detail, and then quickly write me a sub-inspection report." Base Captain Fu said.
"yes!"
Major Pei told Su Yongquan what the three of them had discussed before. Su Yongquan thought about it and then said to Base Commander Fu, "I was thinking of suggesting to you later that we build a solid wall around our base. Now our base only has walls on the two sides facing the mountain. There are no walls on the two sides facing the mountain wall and the valley. Although mutant animals and zombies cannot get up on those two sides, it may not be the case for mutant beasts and mutants in general."
"I originally thought so, but plans cannot keep up with changes. Tomorrow you will be responsible for recruiting earth-type mutants to do this." Base Director Fu ordered.
The three of them continued to discuss how to deal with this crisis. Unlike Major Pei who went out too often, Su Yongquan might have stayed in this base for a longer time. He pointed out many shortcomings in the base.
Major Pei took a piece of paper and wrote down all the areas they discussed for improvement.
Wen Yubai watched the three people discussing how the base needed to be reinforced, what kind of preparations should be made, which base legion should be assigned to guard each side of the city wall, how to recruit mercenary teams, and how to allocate personnel.
She felt that she was not a member of the military, although the performance of Base Captain Fu and his team showed that they did not mind her hearing about these decisions, otherwise they would not have discussed them in front of her and even asked for her opinion.
But she didn't want to get involved too much in things that were not her business. She would rather go back and practice the new sword skills she learned today. Therefore, she said goodbye and left when the three of them finished their meeting.
Hearing her say she wanted to go back, Base Commander Fu did not try to stop her. Major Pei even stood up and sent her to the door. Professor Ye was teaching Fu Xiangli homework in the living room. The base was powered on between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m., and Fu Xiangli was doing her homework seriously under the light.
After saying goodbye to Professor Ye and her daughter, Wen Yubai was about to say goodbye to Major Pei, but who knew he would walk out and close the door.
"I'll take you back." said Major Pei.
"It's just next door, no need to be so polite." Wen Yubai was a little surprised. It was only a dozen or twenty steps away.
"Let's go." Major Pei did not argue with her, but walked silently beside her.
Thank you Mimi's Ruby dear for the reward and support.
