Chapter 549: Volunteer Army Dispatched
"Kyoto has many requirements for the psychics and weapons that come to support. In theory, this represents the base and is the responsibility of our base army. However, I have secured the conditions for our base to breed 5,000 babies in five years. The base army does not have so many demands, so I would like to ask each team if there are any families who want children." Ning Yuan slowly proposed the benefits.
There was a rustling sound in the conference room. Many teams found it unbelievable, and many people asked about the authenticity of the matter.
"The authenticity cannot be verified for the time being, but after all, it is a collaboration between two bases. Even if it is false, the bases will always come forward to give due explanations."
Ning Yuan threw out the bait and drank water calmly, letting the team below discuss quietly. On the contrary, Li Qing who came with him couldn't wait and kept looking at his watch to urge them, but Lin Yimu on the side calmly held him down.
"Instructor, in Kyoto..."
Lin Yimu nodded and replied in a low voice, "This is an opportunity to deplete the power of Kyoto" and also an opportunity to deplete the strength of the team below.
Lu Weiyi has not returned yet, and this is something that all the teams in the base know. Even if they say that he is upgrading, he will not be able to hold on for long.
Ordinary people make up the majority of the base army, and the reason they stand out is because of the strong individual capabilities of several teams of psychics. In the past, they relied more on thermal weapons, but the teams below are the complete opposite.
They were a team of psychics when they were first established. The continuous improvement of the level of psychics in the team will only continue to reduce the base army's voice. Now that there is an opportunity, there is naturally no reason to let it go.
Ning Yuan only agreed to provide support, but did not specify when to go. As long as the entire Kyoto base was not destroyed, no one could say anything.
Otherwise, if the support is provided too early, the Kyoto base forces will be preserved intact, and Moon Bay will be even more dangerous in winter. Not only will we have to worry about possible attacks by zombies after the sea freezes, but we will also need to guard against the Kyoto forces that are ready to make a move.
Li Qing quickly figured out the key to this, but Mr. Zheng's previous emotional incitement, coupled with his own mixed feelings towards soldiers, made him feel uncomfortable when he thought that every extra delay could result in the loss of life.
The teams below were surprised at first, but then their attention was attracted by the possible child.
The instinct of reproduction is engraved in the bones. Compared with women, men have a stronger belief in passing on the family line.
Under the premise of almost zero birth rate, everyone would try to support a few more women just in case, not to mention that the opportunity is now right in front of them.
"I want one... no, three places... Commander Ning, what do you need me to do?"
"We have a large team, can we have a few thousand spots?"
"You are so shameless, asking for thousands of dollars, why don't you just go to the sky?"
Amid the chatter, someone asked the key question, "Is the quota based on the number of people who come forward, or is it based on supplies, or crystal cores, or something else?"
"I won't take advantage of our team. The Kyoto base needs not only people but also hot weapons. The weapons base will allocate them centrally, but the level and number of psychics will be determined..." Ning Yuan looked at the leaders of each team in the conference room with a smile, "It depends on how many embryos you want."
“How do you calculate the ratio?”
After a quick assessment in his mind, Ning Yuan divided the number of people and the levels of the psychics one by one, and gave a ratio that was not very favorable.
"The experiment has just been successful. Cultivation is very difficult. This is the biggest concession I can make. If you feel you can't accept it, I won't force you, but..."
He changed the subject and said, "This technology will be monopolized by the Anti-Zombie Alliance in the future. By then, if you want to cultivate it again, the conditions may not be met as they are now."
"You have discussed with your respective team members and give me an answer in one hour. Gather the people who are going to set off within three hours, and we will all set off together in four hours."
The meeting started suddenly and ended even more suddenly, but it had a significant impact on each team and even the entire base.
Not long after Ning Yuan left, someone from the government heard the news and came to inquire. Hu Gang and Kong Zhen had taken over all the administrative affairs of the base since Zhuang Mingxu left. Normally, the two sides would always have a quarrel when they met. Now, they stood together for a rare time and asked if they could get places for other members of the base.
Ning Yuan was in charge of different areas with them, so he didn't interact with them very often. He smiled and said, "Of course there will be places for other members. Apart from each team, the quota for childbirth belongs to the base, and at that time, a certain number of places will definitely be given to those who have made extra contributions."
"Don't worry, both of you. Both the military and the political are part of one whole. We are all serving the future of the base. As long as it is good for the base, the base will definitely not treat anyone unfairly."
Ning Yuan spoke in an official tone and for the first time felt that Mr. Zheng's news came at a very timely moment. He just didn't know how to unite the military and political forces of the base, so he sent up the bait.
Amitabha, the old man is such a good man.
After seeing Kong Zhen and Hu Gang off, Ning Yuan rode his electric scooter back to Zhongdao.
At the Tiesuo Bridge, Dean was sea fishing. Antonio and Zhuang Aiyi beside him were looking at something. Not far away, Lu Xi was staring at the sea in a daze.
"Hi, Ning, I've been waiting for you for a long time," Antonio greeted warmly, revealing his big white teeth, allowing Ning Yuan to see clearly what was placed in front of him and Zhuang Aiyi.
It was a living crab, the size of a washbasin, with its lid opened, revealing a belly full of crab roe.
Zhuang Aiyi didn't feel at all how scary the crab was that was still waving its claws. He held a small bowl in one hand and scraped the crab roe with a spoon in the other. When he saw him, he happily shouted, "Uncle Ning, I'll make you crab roe noodles."
“……”Ning Yuan.
The soft and tender little kid who was once in his arms has now been tortured into this state by a group of men. Ning Yuan gave Antonio a sad look and accused, "Look at what you have done."
Antonio didn't understand what he said at all, but he didn't care. He asked directly, "Who will lead the team to the Kyoto base?"
"You want to go?" Ning Yuan glanced in the direction of Dean and suddenly realized, "You want a child?"
Antonio shrugged and said, "I don't care, but Dean is an only child, and our father has always hoped that he could have his own offspring."
Dean's father had always been unwilling for the two to be together because they had no offspring.
Before the end of the world, he and Dean had discussed that when they had enough of their own world, they would go for a surrogate pregnancy. The sudden arrival of the end of the world and the low birth rate made them both give up the idea. Unexpectedly, the good news came so suddenly.
Dean had this idea the moment he heard the news, but he was worried that having a child would be a burden to Antonio in today's world, so he kept it to himself. He just stared at Zhuang Aiyi in a daze from time to time in the past two days, and even went to the nursery to visit Qin Nian and Dong Baobao.
Antonio suddenly remembered their original plan, and after some discussion, they decided to take the opportunity to have a child.
"Okay, I'll arrange it for you when the time comes." As soon as Ning Yuan finished speaking, he saw several team members outside the villa staring at him with burning eyes, and he immediately had a bad idea.
Without waiting for them to speak, Ning Yuan said bluntly, "The number of training places is not a problem. Let's first decide who will lead the team?"
Casualties on this trip are foreseeable. They must preserve more combat power for the base to safely get through the winter, but they cannot send people with too low a level of superpowers. If they cannot suppress the superpowers in their team, conflicts will easily arise among the prisoners themselves.
"When will Li Zhuang come back?"
"When will Liu Rui come back?"
Two questions came from Antonio and Xu Sa in unison.
"I'm not sure. There have been strong winds these past few days and the news from there has been sporadic. I think Mingxu will definitely ask them to return as soon as possible." Zhuang Mingxu knew the situation at the base, but he was not sure whether they would wait until both of them were upgraded.
"I have to stay and guard the base. Li Yan definitely can't suppress the teams below. We need a few people to go together." Ning Yuan looked around at the teams of several existing combat forces in the living room.
"I'll go," Xu Sa spoke first.
"I" Gu Qingji said.
"I also……"
"Your supernatural combat ability is not outstanding, so you should assist Brother Ning at the base." Gu Qingji interrupted Gu Qingyue before he could finish his words.
Gu Qingyue wanted to say something, but Ning Yuan responded, "Qingyue, stay. The situation in Kyoto is unclear. We all have people with superpowers and strong combat capabilities. If something unexpected happens, self-protection will not be a problem."
Gu Qingyue then kept silent.
Ning Yuan finally looked at Antonio, "A team of 10,000 people needs a healing psychic to accompany them. Dean's psychic ability is stronger than Xu Yi's. Are you going with him? OK?"
Antonio raised an eyebrow, "Okay."
"But I will keep Dean safe first," he added.
Ning Yuan is always a little worried about Antonio. You say he is irresponsible, but he is never vague about any mission of the team. You say he is responsible, but he is very clear about his closeness and distance. Whenever Dean's safety is involved, anyone and anything needs to give in.
Ning Yuan made a "tsk" sound and stroked his hair in annoyance.
"Brother Yuan, let me go with you. My superpowers aren't very strong in combat, but I can still protect people." Lu Xi, who had been silent in the corner since he knew that Lu Xiao did not retreat, suddenly spoke.
Seeing that Ning Yuan wanted to refuse, he continued, "My superpowers have now been upgraded to S-level. Even in a pile of zombies, I can protect people and keep them safe. I am the most suitable person to protect Dean."
As a psychic, although Lu Xi did not learn Lu Weiyi's fighting style, he practiced the self-protection method to the extreme.
"We can't rest assured to let others protect Dean. It's a waste of combat power if Antonio keeps him around to protect him."
"Moreover, I have participated in the research of most of the crystal core weapons in the base. If there is a malfunction, I can help repair it immediately."
Ning Yuan thought about it in his mind and had to admit that what he said was the best arrangement.
