Chapter 236 Inviting People from the Orphanage to Move into the Doomsday Fortress
After Fu Sinian left, Lin Muyan summoned Ah Bao and left the safe house.
Meanwhile, the news quickly reached the Beijing Special Zone, and the General Staff immediately convened a meeting with high-ranking officials to discuss the matter.
"That person is actually the lord of Doomsday Fortress. She's only twenty years old, but she's got quite the nerve, saying that all major decisions must be approved by her. That's too arrogant."
"We can't agree to her conditions, otherwise wouldn't we be leading a twenty-year-old girl?"
"We need to have Elder Xiao from Special Zone S investigate the other party's background again. I don't believe that Doomsday Fortress can really recognize its master and that we can't get in without Lin Muyan. You're kidding me."
"..."
On Xiao Huaifeng's side, the soil test results came out quickly.
In the laboratory, everyone looked solemn. Several senior scholars who were engrossed in their research frowned and slowly shook their heads as they looked at Xiao Huaifeng and the others.
"There are several unknown components in this soil that we cannot study. Even if we could, it would take time, and it is impossible to understand them in the short term."
After the old scholar finished speaking, he couldn't resist his curiosity and asked Xiao Huaifeng.
"Chief Xiao, where did you get this soil from? I just tried planting a mutated plant and found that the toxins it releases have decreased significantly. This soil can even suppress mutated plants."
"If we could bring over more, it would be of great help to our research."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a general couldn't help but say:
"Give me a straight answer: are you confident that you can figure out how to create this soil? If you can't, then don't ask for soil indiscriminately. This soil is extremely precious now; every bit used is one less available. Look at how much of this soil you're wasting in your research!"
“I think instead of letting you guys do your random research, we should just pool our money together; it would be enough to make a small vegetable garden.”
The researchers were rendered speechless by the rebuttal, and even the veteran scholars blushed and dared not respond.
"Alright, everyone, that's enough. You guys compile those analysis reports and give them to me. I'll contact headquarters in a bit and let them know about this."
The issue of soil is of paramount importance.
Only with soil can grains, fruits, and vegetables be grown; this truly concerns people's livelihoods.
Lin Muyan said that there is a lot of this kind of soil in the Doomsday Fortress.
Xiao Huaifeng felt that Lin Muyan's invitation to see the soil cultivation, eat fruit, and drink tea was a subtle way of telling them that if they befriended her, they would have all these things.
But if they fall out with her, they have to think about the consequences. Can they afford to bear them?

Lin Muyan arrived at the welfare home where Su Yun was staying and went to the air-raid shelter. Sure enough, she saw two people secretly guarding it.
As S City became a special zone, military patrols extended to this area.
However, out of caution, everyone in the welfare home still lives in the air-raid shelter.
The two men recognized Lin Muyan immediately and excitedly rushed to greet her.
"Miss Lin, you've come to see us again!"
"Come in with us quickly, the children will be very happy to see you."
Lin Muyan was quickly surrounded by children. Whenever she arrived, there were snacks for her, and the children all liked her.
After acting as the leader of the children for a while, Lin Muyan called the old dean and Su Yun aside to talk.
“Yan Yan, the military often patrols here, so it’s much safer. You don’t really need to worry about us.”
Su Yun felt that Lin Muyan seemed to have lost some weight since last time, so she assumed that Lin Muyan was overworked and not eating well, and felt very guilty and worried.
Yan Yan gave the orphanage so many supplies and took such good care of them, but she herself seemed to be having a hard time and had even lost weight.
If Lin Muyan knew that Su Yun thought she had lost weight, she would definitely be happy. She was eating and drinking well every day and still lost weight. How could she not be happy?
"Ms. Lin, thank you so much for the supplies you sent us before. Thank you so much."
The old dean felt he could never repay Lin Muyan in this lifetime, and had been thinking about how to repay her.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he felt he could never repay the debt in this lifetime.
His old bones are dwindling with each passing year, and he doesn't have the energy of a young person.
In this post-apocalyptic world, what's needed are strong individuals with high combat power. He's an old man with no awakened superpowers, so he should have been eliminated long ago.
Lin Muyan smiled upon hearing this:
"Dean, please don't say that. If you really want to thank me, why don't you work for me?"
"Huh? Me? At my age, I'm too old and useless. Can I still work?"
Yes, you can.
Under the curious gazes of the old dean and Su Yun, Lin Muyan briefly explained the Doomsday Fortress and said:
"I've come here to tell you that you should pack up and prepare to move into the Doomsday Fortress in the next few days."
"Regarding the job I just mentioned, there is indeed a job that you, the director, can do: continue to be the director of the orphanage once we get to the Doomsday Fortress."
"As you know, during the apocalyptic disaster, many people died, and there must have been many orphans who lost their parents and relatives."
Lin Muyan didn't say anything more; the old dean should understand what she meant.
The doomsday fortress can accommodate hundreds of millions of people, thus forming a small society. Once order is established, a social division of labor will re-emerge, with each person fulfilling their specific role.
It can be said that every profession still has its own value.
Awakened superhumans are categorized according to the type of their superhuman abilities. Some go to the front lines to fight, some guard the security of the special zone, and some provide logistical support. Each has their own role.
As for those who did not awaken their special abilities, they were not rendered useless.
Clothing, food, housing, and transportation—all these aspects rely on people from various professions.
Even living in such a mysterious and powerful advanced building as the Doomsday Fortress still requires people from all walks of life.
Even the lowest-level laborers have a place to use their skills.
People like the former dean will naturally not be eliminated.
Upon hearing this, the old dean's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
He spent his entire life as the director of a welfare home. He loved his job, enjoyed being with the children, encouraging them, and educating them.
He thought that in this apocalyptic world, he would become a burden to others.
Surprisingly, not only was there no survival crisis, but he was also able to continue this meaningful work.
After agreeing with the former dean and Su Yun to pick them up in three days, Lin Muyan returned to the villa on the hillside.
On the way, they encountered a large group of people gathered in the villa area, seemingly discussing the doomsday fortress.
Representatives from every household came to the meeting, and even the captains of several private teams, such as Song Chengyun from the Song family, came.
Lin Muyan didn't want to get involved, but she happened to be seen by Shen Jiaojiao as she passed by.
She immediately blocked Lin Muyan's path and deliberately raised her voice:
"Isn't this Lin Muyan, who's become arrogant after just one trip to Beijing? Why aren't you with that Colonel Xiao? Why are you back here instead?"
"Could it be that he/she dumped him/her?"
