Chapter 118 Mid-mountain Base
Ye Xin's heart was suddenly gripped: Something happened!
She pulled out her pistol and fired into the air. The crisp sound of the gunshot made the people surrounding the villa turn their heads sharply.
"She's here! It's her!"
"Can you please check if it's her?"
Ye Xin frowned slightly. The armored vehicle rumbled to a stop at the gate of the villa, and the villagers automatically made way for it.
There was a man lying behind the villager. His figure was blocked by the villagers and Ye Xin could not see his face clearly for a while.
Ye Xin held a knife and pushed open the car door.
When the villagers saw Ye Xin coming over, they automatically stepped back again, exposing the man in front of them to Ye Xin.
The man was covered in wounds, and his cotton coat was torn to reveal the cotton, which was stained with blood.
Looking at his face again, there was nothing but dirt and scratches, some of which had already formed scars, and it was impossible to tell what he originally looked like.
Bai Muran and Meng Jinghan stood behind Ye Xin. Bai Muran held a gun in his hand and pointed it at the man lying on the ground, while Meng Jinghan held a long sword in his hand ready at any time.
Ye Xin approached the man cautiously and stood about three steps away from him: "What's going on?"
A man in his 50s said, "Girl, this man said he is your good friend and that if we send him up here, you will give us food."
Ye Xin looked at the man again. His face was so colorful that she couldn't recognize him at all. Only his eyes seemed familiar to her.
When the man saw Ye Xin, he struggled to get up from the ground, but failed after several attempts.
"Ye Xin, it's me! Bai Bing!"
As he spoke, the man climbed to the corner of the wall, where the snow was softer. He held the snow in his hands and rubbed it hard on his face.
After a while, Ye Xin recognized it!
It’s really Bai Bing!
"Bai Bing? Is it really you? Didn't you go to the base? Why are you here?"
Bai Bing was almost exhausted, so she grabbed another handful of snow and stuffed it into her mouth. Her mouth was numb from the cold before she swallowed it.
"It's hard to explain. My mother and grandmother are both dead. On the way, I heard that a woman came from the mountains here. After listening to their description, I guessed it was you, so I came to you for help."
"Ye Xin, we are neighbors. You know me. I can do anything as long as I can have a meal!"
As he spoke, Bai Bing took out four zombie crystal cores from his pocket and held them in his hands. "I saw many people collecting these on the street, saying they can be used as money. Can I use them to exchange for admission?"
After saying this, Bai Bing lowered her head and said, "My food has been stolen. I can't get into the base anymore. I can only beg you for help."
Ye Xin had a good impression of Bai Bing. Since he had come to her with so much difficulty, she couldn't just stand by and watch him die. Besides, these zombie crystal cores could indeed be exchanged for food.
Ye Xin took Bai Bing's crystal core and threw it into the space.
Unexpectedly, the space system immediately displayed: Four zombie crystal cores were found, each crystal core is worth 10 points, do you want to redeem them?
One crystal core is equivalent to 10,000 yuan! Great! Are you still worried about not having enough points? There are plenty of zombies out there!
Redeem!
Points increased by 40.
She had never thrown a zombie crystal core in before, and this was the first time, and the system gave her a big surprise.
Ye Xin was delighted and said to Bai Bing, "I can take you in, provide you with food and protection, but if you want to be a member of the Banshan Base, you need to obey my orders and pay taxes every day."
Bai Bing was stunned: Private base? Daily tax payment? Too shady!
Ye Xin smiled slightly: "Don't be impatient, listen to me and finish explaining the rules here."
Here, she was free to reclaim wasteland. She provided the seeds and paid half of her income as remittance.
Ye Xin can guarantee the safety of the base residents.
Of course, the subjects have to hand in three zombie crystal cores every day as rent and protection fees, and pay it every half a month.
In order to allow residents time to rest and recuperate, the first three days are tax-free.
If you get enough zombie crystal cores, the extra crystal cores can be exchanged for points, and then the points can be exchanged for daily necessities, food, vegetables, and even meat and weapons from Lord Ye Xin.
The lord will also issue missions from time to time. You can get rewards and tax exemption opportunities by accepting the missions.
Bai Bing listened in a daze: Isn't this the condition for a small private base? He had heard about such bases many times along the way.
Before he left, Ye Xin had reminded him that if he wanted to enter a base, he should enter a large base and never enter a small base. Now she had built her own base and wanted him to be a citizen of the base!
Ye Xin looked at Bai Bing, without a trace of emotion on her face: "What do you think of this condition?"
"No... no entrance fee?"
Ye Xin shook her head: "Three zombie crystal cores are the entrance fee. You have already paid it, and there is one extra that can be exchanged for living supplies."
"However, once you enter my base, you are my Ye Xin's subject. You must be absolutely loyal to me. If I find any betrayal, I guarantee that you will die miserably!"
Bai Bing was stunned for more than ten seconds before digesting Ye Xin's words, and nodded vigorously: "I am willing! Please take me in, Lord."
A message appeared in Ye Xin's mind: Congratulations on receiving the first base citizen, a reward base gift package, do you want to claim it?
"Receive it!"
Reward: One advanced body strengthening pill. After taking it, the body speed will be increased by 100%, the strength will be increased by 100%, the resistance to attack will be increased by 100%, and the healing speed of external injuries will be accelerated by 100%.
A base intermediate defense enhancement pack is awarded as a reward. After use, the base defense capability increases by 50%. It can be used once every three months.
A bottle of trauma medicine is given as a reward. Even if a bone is broken, it can be healed within half an hour after use.
A reward of one bottle of central nervous system anesthetic. After using it, you will not feel pain even if you have comminuted fractures. The effect lasts for 24 hours.
The reward is a set of constant temperature combat suits that can withstand temperatures as high as 70 degrees and as low as -70 degrees.
Ye Xin was stunned, this was too awesome!
Much more powerful than when the Civilian Base appeared in space!
There is another line of words below: The Mid-Levels Base is currently a primary base model. Please upgrade the base as soon as possible to get more rewards.
Upgrade conditions: 50 base residents.
50 people! Her small cabins are definitely not big enough for them.
Solve the problems at hand first and worry about these troubles later.
Ye Xin came back to her senses and turned back to tell Meng Jinghan: "Help him up and find a place for him to stay and recuperate."
"Pay attention to his condition. If he turns into a corpse, show no mercy!"
Bai Muran nodded secretly.
Ye Xin took out a pound of millet from her backpack and handed it to Meng Jinghan: "Make porridge for her."
Seeing the food, the villagers' eyes lit up.
The man walked up to Ye Xin and spoke again: "Lord, please take us in too! We have been doing farming all our lives, and we are experts in farming!"
As soon as he said this, the dozen men behind him nodded one after another: "Yes! That's right! Take us in! We can do anything! We will never betray you!"
Ye Xin looked at these villagers, and then at the wooden houses not far away. These people might have reached their limit!
Seeing that Ye Xin refused to nod, the middle-aged man became anxious: "Lord, we don't have a crystal core now, but we have lived in this village for generations."
"We will replenish the zombie crystal cores within three days. If you don't trust us, we can take you to my house and mortgage it to you."
"Also, we all have farmland. When the snow melts, we can continue to grow crops there. The fields there are the result of our hard work over decades, and they are very fertile!"
After hearing this, Ye Xin's eyes lit up and an idea flashed in her mind.
