Chapter 386 Hope Base
While Fang Yuxin and his team were redecorating the house, Bai Zhengli and his team were also busy. Chengtian Base was not small in size, with a total of more than 500,000 people. Ji Chengtian's Chengtian Mercenary Group had more than 30,000 superpowers, many of whom were in the management of the base. It was quite troublesome to replace all of them and let new people take charge, and complete the handover of work. It was simply impossible to take over completely in a short period of time.
The entire base was busy for several days, and finally gradually settled down and got back on track. These days, there were always groups of zombies attacking, but they were all wiped out by Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang. Although the other forces in Chengtian Base had already recognized the situation and knew that they had no chance, they were still a little unwilling to accept it and wanted to see the joke. Who knew that Bai Zhengli really took over the entire base in just five days, and even picked out all the problems that had existed in the base and formulated new rules.
At the same time, the base hospital that Bai Zhengli had promised to Deng Hong and others was also set up, and especially those wood-type mutants who were captured from nearby small bases were also released.
In addition to Ping'an Base, there are five small bases near Chengtian Base, all of which are controlled by Ji Chengtian or other forces. All the people in the bases are enslaved and made to suffer.
Bai Zhengli specially called together all the leaders of the more influential forces in Chengtian Base and held a meeting to discuss the new rules and the treatment of the nearby small bases. He used coercion and inducement to finally make these leaders with their own thoughts accept the new rules. At the same time, he also called back all the people who were sent out to garrison.
There weren't actually that many powerful psychics in those small bases, which is why they were controlled by Chengtian Base before. Originally, it was a good thing for Chengtian Base to station people in those small bases, as it could protect the safety of those small bases. But Ji Chengtian went too far, exploiting them in various ways, causing widespread complaints and making people in these small bases hold a great prejudice against Chengtian Base.
Under such prejudice, even if Bai Zhengli changed the garrison and stopped enslaving them, it would not be easy to win the favor of these people. After he sent people to inquire, these small bases also said that they would not accept the protection of Chengtian Base. Therefore, Bai Zhengli retreated to advance and simply called all the people back to reorganize Chengtian Base first.
As for Ping'an Base, Wu Ke had the chance to meet Bai Zhengli and the others at the beginning, and the Hope Group had been staying in Ping'an Base before coming to Chengtian Base, so the relationship between the two sides has always been good. Wu Ke believed in Bai Zhengli's character, so he bluntly asked for asylum from Chengtian Base on behalf of Ping'an Base.
After the first few days of chaos, the entire base was completely renewed. Even the name of the base was changed to "Hope Base", meaning that it is a place full of hope, so that everyone should not give up hope easily.
At the same time, Bai Zhengli also carried out drastic reforms.
In the original Chengtian base, ordinary people occupied a large number, but their status was much lower than that of the superpowers, and their lives were quite unhappy. Chengtian base was not like a small base like Ping'an base. The people inside were relatively more united, and basically everyone could have enough food.
When Bai Zhengli took over Chengtian Base, the situation in the base was already quite bad. The gap between ordinary people and superpowers was getting bigger and bigger, and the polarization was quite obvious. High-level superpowers could enjoy delicious food lavishly, but ordinary people at the bottom could not even afford to eat and could only drink porridge.
After Bai Zhengli took over the base, he made some reforms to improve the treatment of ordinary people in the base. He also expanded the farms and factories and recruited a large number of ordinary people to work.
Conditions are limited nowadays, especially energy availability, and it is quite difficult for many people to cook. Therefore, it would be best to produce some food that can be eaten right out of the bag, is filling, and is nutritious, to reduce everyone’s burden.
Fang Yuxin is from the logistics team. Together with Qu Qianhe, she checked the base warehouse and Ji Chengtian's private warehouse, and found a large amount of supplies. However, the equipment here is not enough to expand the factory, so they have to find another way.
They were worrying about the equipment, and Qian Sen came over, shaking his head and sighing, "The research institute in this base is too rudimentary. There are not many equipments. No wonder the people inside haven't figured out anything. Xinxin, can you think of a solution? We need to get some research equipment as soon as possible. If we continue like this, we won't be able to do anything at all."
Li Qingyun, who was following behind him, also shook his head.
Speaking of which, a research institute has been established in the Chengtian base, but there are very few researchers inside, and just as Qian Sen said, the equipment inside is too simple.
Seeing that both of them were frowning and seemed to be in a difficult situation, Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe said, "We will find a way to get the research equipment you need back as soon as possible."
Qian Sen nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Oh, there is one more thing. The researchers in this research institute in the base are too unreliable. I talked to them and found that these people don't have much real skills. They are just messing around. We need to find some people who can really help."
Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe didn't know about this. They didn't care about the research institute and directly handed it over to Qian Sen and Li Qingyun. After all, the two were more professional in this area, so it was just right to hand it over to them. Who knew that the so-called research institute turned out to be such a situation!
Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe were both a little angry, but these were all left over from the past, and there was no point in getting angry. It would be better for them to find the equipment and talents Qian Sen needed as soon as possible and truly set up the research institute.
So Qu Qianhe said, "Don't worry about this. I will have someone post a recruitment notice later. As for the requirements, you will be responsible for it, Mr. Qian. You will also come in person for the subsequent interviews. The base is so large, there is no need to worry about not being able to find suitable talents."
Qian Sen thought about it and felt that she was right, so he nodded and agreed to it.
Afterwards, Qu Qianhe discussed this matter with Fang Jintang, and found out that it was not only scientific research talents that needed to be recruited, but also talents in many other fields that were urgently needed by the base. When Ji Chengtian was the leader, the control of the base was all in the hands of the superpowers, and many positions were also held by superpowers. However, although these people had superpowers and were strong, they might not be qualified for the position. And those who were really talented and capable, because they were not superpowers, not only could not use their abilities, but also had to suffer hardships.
After Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang took control of the base, they naturally could not let this happen again, so they have been recruiting a large number of people recently.
In addition to the hospitals, factories and research institutes, Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang also planned to set up cultural schools and martial arts schools. There were many children in the base, and they couldn't just leave them alone. They had to go to school, otherwise their studies would be wasted over time.
As for the so-called martial arts school, only adults over 18 years old can enter. There are too many ordinary people in the base. Among these ordinary people, in addition to some old, weak, sick and disabled people, there are still many young and strong men and women. The base of this part of people is quite large. If they can be trained and have the ability to protect themselves, the overall strength of the base can be greatly improved. If something happens in the future, they will have a greater chance of survival. This martial arts school is prepared for these people, so that they can learn the skills of fighting and killing enemies.
What Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang didn't expect was that many people with special abilities asked the Hope Group indirectly, wanting to know if they were still recruiting people, and they all wanted to join the Hope Group. Some of these people were scattered corpse hunters, and some were members of the Chengtian Mercenary Group. After Ji Chengtian fell, the Chengtian Mercenary Group was also torn apart, and many people joined other forces, but there were also many people who took a fancy to the Hope Group and wanted to join.
It just so happened that the base issued various recruitment announcements, but there was no notice of Hope Corps recruiting, which left many people dumbfounded.
Bai Zhengli originally thought that it was more important to have quality people than quantity, and there was no need to recruit too many people. However, Fang Jintang had a different idea. Although their Hope Group was very strong now, it had a fatal weakness, which was that they had too few people. There were other forces in the base, and their numbers were larger than theirs. If they didn't recruit people, these people would inevitably have other ideas after a long time.
Rather than causing trouble later, it would be better to recruit some people from now on to improve the overall strength. Only in this way, they hope that the regiment can always remain invincible.
Bai Zhengli thought about it, and suddenly remembered the days in the Bei City base. He was suppressed by Bai Zhengyi at the beginning, wasn't it because he had few people under him and his own strength was not good enough? Now they have just entered Long Province and taken over a base. In the future, if this base wants to develop, it will inevitably have to interact with other bases. If there are not enough people under it, it is indeed easy to have problems. And Luo Ding's gang, after a long time, these people will inevitably have different intentions.
So Bai Zhengli nodded, agreed with Fang Jintang's idea, and started recruiting people. As soon as the news was released, the first people to surrender were Deng Hong, Meng Ping, Wan Hao, Liu Yue and others. These people were originally Ji Chengtian's subordinates, and were later captured by the Hope Corps. They also had a friendship with each other.
Now that Ji Chengtian has fallen, these people only have about a thousand people under their command. They will not be able to achieve anything if they go out on their own. Instead, they will be easily swallowed up by others. Therefore, they have been eyeing the Hope Corps early on, hoping to join.
Bai Zhengli's nod was exactly what they wanted, so as soon as they received the news they hurried over to join them.
