Xiao Yi would pay more attention to those who showed kindness. For example, if he saw someone proactively share scarce food with a weaker companion, or protect others first when danger came, Xiao Yi would give them a point in his heart.
Bravery was also an important factor he considered. When faced with a zombie attack, someone who could pick up a weapon and fight without hesitation, rather than collapse in fear, would be more likely to gain Xiao Yi's approval.
During the communication, Xiao Yi would ask questions subtly to test their values and plans for the future. If someone only thought about their own interests or had bad intentions, Xiao Yi would quickly notice and keep his distance from them.
As for those who have passed his initial observation and test, Xiao Yi will not immediately invite them to join the base. He will continue to observe for a period of time to see whether their performance in different situations is consistent.
When he is sure that someone is kind and brave, and is truly willing to work hard for the development of the base, Xiao Yi will solemnly extend an invitation. He will sincerely introduce the situation of the base to the other party, as well as the challenges and goals they face together, so that the other party can make a decision based on a full understanding.
Every time Xiao Yi invited a new partner, it was like he was carrying out a carefully planned layout, because he knew that a wrong choice might bring disaster to the base, while a correct choice would make the base stronger and give everyone more hope of survival in this doomsday.
Under Xiao Yi's leadership, the base seemed to have gained new strength and began to develop vigorously, with its scale gradually expanding day by day.
At first, there were only Xiao Yi and a few other survivors, who lived in simple houses with only simple barbed wire and traps as defenses. But as time went on, more and more kind and brave survivors joined this big family at Xiao Yi's invitation.
To accommodate more people, Xiao Yi organized everyone to expand the living area. They cut down nearby trees, processed them into solid wood, and built more sturdy houses. The wooden houses were neatly arranged, forming small blocks.
The base's farmland is constantly expanding. People are reclaiming more wasteland, sowing the seeds of hope and planting a variety of crops, from vegetables to grains. The fields are bustling with activity, as people toil diligently, anticipating a bountiful harvest.
The fortifications were further strengthened and improved. Higher and stronger walls were built around the entire base. The number of watchtowers was increased, equipped with more advanced observation equipment, allowing people to detect potential threats earlier.
Resource storage areas continued to expand, warehouses were built one after another, and the food, medicine, tools, fuel and other supplies collected by everyone were classified and stored in an orderly manner.
At the same time, a work area has been set up in the base, with a special workshop for manufacturing and repairing tools, and a medical room to provide basic medical care for everyone.
As the population increased, trading markets emerged where people exchanged the items they needed, promoting the rational allocation and utilization of resources.
With Xiao Yi's careful planning and everyone's joint efforts, the base has gradually developed from a small shelter into a fully functional and sizable survival community, blooming with tenacious vitality in this doomsday.
In Xiao Yi's base, the survivors showed a high degree of unity and clear division of labor.
As the first rays of morning sun shone through, the people responsible for growing food arrived early to the fields. Holding farm tools, they bent over, carefully tilling the soil and sowing carefully selected seeds. Sweat streamed down their cheeks, dripping into the fertile earth, but their eyes were filled with anticipation. Some diligently watered the seedlings, ensuring every plant received ample moisture; others constructed simple scarecrows at the edge of the fields to ward off birds that might steal their crops.
Meanwhile, across the base, the weapons crafters were bustling about. Blacksmiths worked furiously beside the furnace, hammering red-hot iron, sparks flying as they gradually forged it into sharp swords. Carpenters meticulously selected the right wood, crafting sturdy spears and bows. They focused intensely on every detail, striving for perfection, knowing full well that these weapons held the key to protecting everyone's lives.
Those with ingenious hands were responsible for sewing clothes and repairing damaged equipment. They worked quickly, turning pieces of cloth into warm clothes, bringing a touch of warmth to everyone in this cold apocalypse.
Under Xiao Yi's leadership, everyone is fully aware of the importance of their responsibilities. Everyone works together and strives for the common goal of survival without complaint.
Because of this, Xiao Yi's base gradually became famous. In this apocalypse filled with despair and chaos, it became a pure land shining with the light of hope. More and more people who were displaced and suffering outside heard about this place and came here to seek refuge.
They set out on the road to the base, either alone or with their families, exhausted but with a glimmer of hope for the future. When they finally arrived at the base and saw the sturdy fortifications, the orderly life scenes and the determined smiles on the people's faces, their eyes rekindled with hope for life.
Xiao Yi and the survivors of the base also warmly accept every newcomer, providing them with food and shelter, allowing them to quickly integrate into this big family and work together for a better tomorrow. As the base continues to grow and develop, Xiao Yi gradually realizes the indescribable yet profound special connection between himself and the survivors in his busy and hard work day after day.
