First, we arrived at Liu Xingzhou's Oasis Base, which is a residential area that is quite dilapidated.
Everywhere there were traces left by the flood, and many walls had bloodstains, probably left from the zombie outbreak.
The only redeeming feature here is the absence of zombies. Some children stand quietly to one side, the elderly are mixing mud, and young men and women are busy building high walls.
Yue Wu could imagine that they were having a hard time, but seeing the thin porridge that Liu Xingzhou and the others were eating for lunch still made her feel very uncomfortable.
Zhao Xinkui joked, "Liu Xingzhou, the lunch you had really suited your name."
Liu Xingzhou scratched his head and said helplessly, "A few days ago, the children at the base got sick with bacterial pneumonia and needed antibiotics. Only the larger bases have them right now, so we had to take the supplies we collected there to exchange for medicine. That's why we don't have any extra food right now."
Zhao Xinkui realized he had said the wrong thing and immediately replied, "Since you're in this situation, why didn't you tell me? You're making so many people starve because of you."
Music and Dance: Is this meant to comfort? It doesn't feel like anything nice.
Liu Xingzhou said with a smile, "I still owe you some medicine from last time, how could I keep borrowing from you?"
Zhao Xinkui punched Liu Xingzhou, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you being so polite with me!"
Liu Xingzhou just laughed, and Zhao Xinkui felt that he had fallen into the old man's trap.
Sure enough, Liu Xingzhou immediately changed the subject, "Since you've put it that way, it would be disrespectful of me not to borrow some. Hey, I'm being immature. How can you say it's borrowing? It's sharing, sharing between brothers."
Zhao Xinkui: ......
Listening to the two bickering, Yue Wu could tell that they had a deep bond and their personalities and ways of doing things were quite compatible, so there shouldn't be any problem with the two bases merging in the future.
Liu Xingzhou looked at Yue Wu and asked cautiously, "Miss, as you can see, we don't have the same good environment and abundant supplies as the big base, but there's no backstabbing here, and everyone is very honest and kind. Are you still interested in joining us?"
Yue Wu could see the longing in Liu Xingzhou's eyes, so she directly stated her thoughts, "I can join, but in the future I will be the decision-maker behind the base, and you will remain the base leader. Do you agree?"
Liu Xingzhou asked in confusion, "Decision, decision-maker?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xinkui asked directly.
Yuewu: "I will make some suggestions based on the development of the base, and you need to implement them. I guarantee that everyone will have enough to eat and that life will become safer and safer."
Liu Xingzhou and Zhao Xinkui exchanged a glance. Although they knew that the girl was very skilled and could also heal, the Oasis Base had more than 300 people, more than 70% of whom were elderly, weak, women and children. Their daily food consumption was not small at all.
For example, they still have some supplies, but they dare not squander them anymore. They basically decide what to do based on whether they have any supplies to bring back that day. For instance, if they didn't bring back any supplies today, they would just have some thin porridge for lunch.
Zhao Xinkui was also thinking about Yue Wu's words. If she were to become a decision-maker at the Dawn Base later, and his base had about two hundred more people than the Oasis Base, the two bases together would have nearly a thousand people. How much food would that require? This little girl's words were indeed a bit too ambitious.
Yue Wu didn't explain to them, but said that she was going out for a while and would be back in a bit.
Then Yuewu looked at her car and drove around the neighborhood. Meanwhile, the pickup truck's back was filled with a lot of food, including rice, flour, oil, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., enough to feed them for several days. Finally, there was also a carcass of pork.
When everyone saw what the dancers were fighting with, some of the children immediately shouted.
"It's pork, pork! It's real meat!!!"
"There's also rice and flour, wow, we have food, we have food."
"I also saw sweet potatoes. Grandma, I haven't eaten sweet potatoes in a long time. Sweet sweet potatoes."
"Yes, sweet potatoes and potatoes, if paired with pork, wow, just thinking about it makes my mouth water!!!"
Tears welled up in the eyes of some elderly people and women, because they were in charge of cooking and knew best that a large amount of supplies had been exchanged recently, which was why everyone was short of money for a while.
Now, seeing so much food, they feel both longing and relief, knowing that as long as they have food, they can survive.
At this moment, Liu Xingzhou and Zhao Xinkui didn't know what to say. Because they often went out to collect supplies, and because of their small number of people and limited capabilities, most of the supermarkets and shopping malls were taken away by people from the large base.
They searched small shops and residential areas, and today they even managed to spot a leopard, hoping to give everyone a taste of its game. They wanted both of these locations.
The sudden arrival of a truckload of supplies by Yuewu left them completely bewildered. Was there some kind of storage facility they hadn't discovered?
Yue Wu looked directly at Liu Xingzhou and Zhao Xinkui, "Now can you tell me your decision?"
Liu Xingzhou turned to look at the people around him; their eagerness for the food was undisguised.
After thinking for a while, Liu Xingzhou looked up at Yue Wu and said, "We don't have that many superhumans. As long as you don't mind, we'll listen to you."
Since they've already come this far, all their efforts are just to survive. Since this girl has the ability, food, and can even cure diseases, why not try following her?
The key point is that her own people are more like a burden to her, and she doesn't think this girl is a bad person. On the contrary, she feels that as long as she trusts her, the future is promising.
Yue Wu was satisfied with the answer, then took out a large bag of seeds from her backpack and handed it to Liu Xingzhou. "These are seeds for grains, fruits, and vegetables. Everyone can plant them later, and then we won't have to worry about not having enough to eat anymore."
"Wh-what? A seed!!!" Liu Xingzhou exclaimed in surprise and quickly opened it to check.
Even Zhao Xinkui, who was standing next to him, was staring intently at Liu Xingzhou's hand. When he saw that Liu Xingzhou had indeed taken out packets of seeds labeled with names such as cucumber, eggplant, potato, sweet potato, and wheat, Zhao Xinkui wanted nothing more than to snatch them away.
The other members exclaimed in surprise; this was truly precious material. The elderly were eager to plant the crops quickly, hoping for a bountiful harvest—it was their only hope for survival.
At this moment, Zhao Xinkui also made up his mind to follow this girl. If she were to harm the members of the base in the future, he would never agree to it, especially since there were so many of them.
So Zhao Xinkui said to Yue Wu, "From now on, our Dawn Base will listen to you, but the premise is that we can't do anything wrong. Our goal is very simple: to survive. So we hope you can lead us to work together and give everyone a home."
For those who have witnessed natural disasters and zombies, the word "home" is a distant memory.
