"Since we all know each other, I won't introduce myself to you. Let your people have a good rest today and tomorrow. The base will provide food and drink. Two days later, find a few more people and two cars to go to the road with us. The rest of the people, you lead the kindergarten as the center to clean up the mutants. The women and children will stay in the base to help Sister Mei take care of all the affairs in the base."
"When cleaning, try to find as many large barrels that can hold clean water as possible. Also, try to collect any daily necessities you can. I will distribute some self-defense weapons to your people."
After saying that, Jiang Mi looked at Fang Bo, "Any questions?"
Fang Bo shook his head, "No problem."
"Um..." The fat man raised his hand cautiously and chuckled twice, "Can you tell me what we're having for dinner tonight?"
He heard from Fang Bo that people here were able to grow vegetables independently, which made him very excited.
It has been a long time since he had a hot meal. He used to weigh 180 kilograms, but now he has lost 20 kilograms!
Fang Bo stretched out his elbow and nudged him helplessly. The fat man smiled at him but had no intention of giving up.
Jiang Mi was amused by him and thought that this guy was quite interesting.
Although he looks smooth and mercenary, he is not annoying, just interesting.
Maybe because he is not very old, he looks like Fang Bo’s classmate.
"I'm sorry, my brother's family used to be in business, and he's never been short of food and clothing, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to maintain his weight. He and I are classmates, and he speaks his mind without any ill intentions, so don't mind it." Fang Bo explained with a silent sigh.
Jiang Mi laughed a few times, "It is said that food is the most important thing for people. In the end times, resources are scarce and everyone is fighting for food. It's okay to ask about my concern."
After saying that, he looked at the fat man and said happily: "But I don't know what we're having for dinner tonight. You have to ask our chef Sister Mei."
"You brought a lot of people with you. It's hard for Sister Mei to cook for more than 20 people alone. You can find a few women who can cook to help you. It will also be a way to get to know everyone in advance." Miao Xi added.
To Fang Bo and his group of newcomers, Sister Mei is considered one of their own. Moreover, since arriving at the base, Sister Mei has been quiet and hardworking. Such a down-to-earth, hard-working person who is devoted to the base naturally cannot be made to work hard for others.
After hearing Miao Xi's words, Jiang Mi nodded. This was also what she was planning to say.
If Sister Mei, Mingyu and her daughter were to prepare the meal for more than 20 people, the three of them would be busy for several hours. Now it was almost dark and it would be midnight before they could finish it.
Before Fang Bo could say anything, the fat man smiled first, rubbing his hands and repeatedly assuring, "Don't worry, Sister Miao, the female comrades in our team are all good at cooking. I'll go call them now!"
After saying that, he ran away and Fang Bo couldn't stop him.
"He is like this, don't mind it." Fang Bo couldn't help but explain again.
Miao Xi waved his hand. "I've heard you mention him before. He's quite an interesting guy. And he seems to trust you quite a lot. It's rare to have someone you can trust in these last days."
"Fatty and I have been friends for almost ten years, so of course we can trust each other. Brother Zhang saved me, so I trust him too." Fang Bo said as he looked at Zhang Maocheng beside him with gratitude in his eyes.
Zhang Maocheng looked at the big and strong man who looked a little difficult to approach, and now he scratched his head in embarrassment, "It was just a coincidence that I ran into him, and I couldn't just stand by and watch him die."
A hint of realization flashed across Jiang Mi's eyes. It turned out to be a life-saving favor.
"In this doomsday, watching people in danger without helping has become the norm. It's rare that you, Old Zhang, are willing to risk your life to lend a helping hand. It's also commendable. It shows that you two are destined to be together." Jiang Mi chuckled.
"That's enough small talk. I have to say a few more words. The purpose of the Dawn Base is to create a better future for the survivors of humanity. If anyone violates the rules of the base and does something that is not conducive to the development and unity of the base, don't blame me for being ruthless."
At this point, Jiang Mi's smile faded, "I will never allow anyone or anything to become a roadblock to the future of human survivors."
Fang Bo was silent for a moment. These words were obviously telling him that the moment he decided to join the Dawn Base, he should put the interests of the Dawn Base as the top priority. If his people committed a crime...
"I understand, Miss Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely control the people I bring with me. If they do anything that is not beneficial to the base, Miss Jiang will deal with them. I will not say a word." Fang Bo said solemnly.
This was not the first time Jiang Mi had reminded him, and he naturally understood the weight of these words.
"Okay, that's enough. You guys should go and rest while waiting for dinner." Jiang Mi stood up first.
"Then I won't bother you anymore." Fang Bo stood up and left with Zhang Maocheng.
After everyone left, Jiang Mi looked at Miao Xi, "I need you to keep a closer eye on them during this period. There are so many people talking and it's bound to cause trouble, especially keep an eye on the third floor."
As she was speaking, she remembered something and turned on the intercom to ask Sister Mei to call Xiaofei to come over.
In a few minutes, two people came over, and Jiang Mi directly took out five daggers, five small electric batons and two guns from the space.
"Sister Mei, you, Xiaofei, and the three children should carry these daggers and stun guns with you. Tell them not to leave them and keep them hidden from others. You two should keep these two guns close to your bodies."
Liu Ximei was cooking when she was called over. She didn't expect to see such a large table of things, especially the two small pistols. She trembled all over.
"This...this...this...this is not possible!" Liu Ximei waved her hands repeatedly in panic, and even subconsciously turned her eyes away from the things on the table.
Miao Xi picked up the gun and handed it to her, "Sister Mei, keep it. This is all for the safety of our base. You also know the importance of the third floor. Our base is too small and the security is not high. We have to go out during the day, so we can only rely on you to watch the base. If something happens, you have to have someone to protect yourself."
She knew that Liu Ximei now attached great importance to the base, so she persuaded her directly from this aspect.
"I've taught you how to shoot. This is the safety catch. Don't press it normally. Press it when you need to use the gun. There are ten rounds of bullets in the gun, which should be enough for now. Remember to keep this gun and the walkie-talkie with you."
Jiang Mi tapped the table with her index finger. "Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others. Sister Mei, keep it. Xiaofei won't go out with us in the future. She will stay in the base with you. Tell Mingyu and your daughter to be more careful."
Having said that, Liu Ximei had no choice but to carefully hide the gun on her body. She also shared the other weapons on the table with Xiaofei and put them on her body before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, we wear thick clothes in winter, so it won’t be noticeable if we stuff a little more into our cotton-padded jackets.
Xiao Fei said with some regret: "Well, I really like going out for a walk. Although it's a bit tiring, it's very refreshing. I've been sleeping much better these days."
Liu Ximei hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Ms. Jiang, can our base be equipped with surveillance cameras?"
