Qiao Xuejun raised an eyebrow: "The Lord said so?"
Wu Haifan nodded: "Yes, I have always been told this."
Qiao Xuejun: "Thank you. I'll go over there."
Qiao Xuejun walked in and could clearly feel that there were more people in the First Base now, and the atmosphere was a little different. Many people led the new survivors around, introducing them to the various functional modules of the base, where to get drinking water, where to get food and medicine, where to register for work...
Anyway, it's very lively.
The people in the First Base were very enthusiastic, even more enthusiastic than Qiao Xuejun had imagined. This kind of enthusiasm was simply incredible for the survivors who had just come to seek refuge.
Qiao Xuejun heard someone leading a few people to the tailor studio. Qiao Xuejun happened to know the leader, Sister Chen, the wife of Master Zhang who had built a kang for Qiao Xuejun before.
Sister Chen was very enthusiastic. She led everyone over there and introduced them as she walked: "Big sister, we just went to the cafeteria. Now I will take you to the dressing room. The most basic clothes here are given to everyone first."
"The ones we're distributing now are all very warm rabbit fur coats... But I see what you're wearing now is pretty good too. If you're really short of them, we'll give them out for free. If you need to buy more, you'll have to exchange resources for them."
The people who were taken by Sister Chen to visit were actually wearing quite a lot of clothes. After all, in this weather, those who wore too little probably wouldn't last long enough to come and seek refuge.
Since they have clothes, they are not eligible for free distribution.
Even so, they were still very touched: "The First Base is better than we thought! The people here are also very nice... Along the way, everyone was very cautious and no one would take the initiative to help you..."
As they spoke, they sighed, "There were quite a few of us at the beginning, but now there are only a few left. It's really hard to survive outside along the way." The mutant creatures eat people, and people also eat people.
But in the First Base, there was no cannibalism at all. There was even a feeling that people would help others before a natural disaster.
Sister Chen laughed and said, "Hey, our base is different from the outside world. We have food and drink, and we have such a safe base to stay in. We just need to survive. When we have nothing to do, we can go out to collect supplies. If we don't want to go out, the base will also arrange some factory work for us. It's a bit tiring, a bit hard, and a bit boring, but it's absolutely safe!"
Outside, if you don't eat people, you will die. But not in the base.
Sister Chen said, "You don't know, our base has experienced several attacks by mutant creatures, and nothing happened! As long as you can endure it, you can live here for the rest of your life without any problems!"
As Sister Chen was talking, she happened to run into Qiao Xuejun. She immediately smiled even more and came forward: "Teacher Qiao, are you here for a meeting?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "I'll do something."
She looked at the group of people behind Sister Chen: "Sister Chen, are you responsible for receiving the new survivors?"
Sister Chen nodded: "Yes. I will take them to familiarize themselves with the environment of the base."
As she spoke, she lowered her voice and whispered in Qiao Xuejun's ear, "Once they are familiar with the place, let them bring supplies to our couple to build the kang!"
Qiao Xuejun laughed and nodded: "Then I wish you good luck."
Actually, it is not necessary, after all, there are not many people in the base who can make a kang. Sister Chen doesn't need to do these things, and her business will not be bad, mainly because of her enthusiasm.
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Sister Chen left with the survivors who had come to seek refuge.
"Sister Chen, the girl just now seemed to be well-dressed and well-equipped. She must have come to the base a long time ago, right?" Qiao Xuejun was wearing a down jacket with an outer layer of protective clothing, carrying her own mountaineering bag, and holding a steel baton in her hand.
They wandered around the base for a while and the girl looked like she had a lot of supplies. Moreover, the girl was obviously different from them.
She was tall, with a ruddy and energetic face and fair and healthy skin. It was obvious that she ate well. After a long journey like theirs, many people had become extremely thin due to lack of food.
Unlike this base, no one is as thin as them.
Sister Chen said that if you want extra supplies, you have to hand them over in exchange. So the mountaineering bag and the protective suit are extra supplies, right?
That girl obtained so many extra supplies from the base, and she must have handed over a lot of supplies in exchange.
If such a weak woman can do it, then shouldn't they be able to easily exchange for such good supplies at the First Base?
Sister Chen smiled and said, "Don't look at her. She is a great contributor to our base. Most people are not as good as her."
The refugees looked at each other in bewilderment. What did this mean? Did the supplies come from illegal sources? Were they not obtained through normal exchange?
That's true. That girl... looks too young. She doesn't seem like the type to use brute force to collect supplies outside. And she looks good-looking. Could she be that type of person...?
During natural disasters, it is not uncommon for women to obtain supplies through their looks and bodies.
But soon, Sister Chen's words broke their speculation again: "I have the energy to show you around today because I'm full. Most of us in the base can eat enough because of her."
"Teacher Qiao is a great expert in our base, specializing in food! Farming!"
The defectors were immediately surprised. They had been to the cafeteria before and knew what the food was. They were also told who provided the food. "Could she be the Minister of Agriculture mentioned in the cafeteria? So young?"
When they heard it before, they subconsciously thought it was an old man!
I didn't expect it to be such a young woman. She was totally different from what I imagined.

Qiao Xuejun walked to the outside of Zhao Xian's conference room and listened to the conversation inside.
Zhao Xian was talking to a group of survivors who had come to him for help.
"Lantern fish?" Zhao Xian's voice came, "Are you sure they tracked you? When did you disappear, and where did you disappear?"
