soon.
The news that Huaxi Valley Base was preparing to establish a virus research institute spread throughout Donghu Base.
In addition, we will directly recruit a deputy director and 30 researchers!
Once you become a researcher, you can have as much meat as you want every day!
Once you become the deputy director, your salary will be on par with that of a battalion commander at the base!
Moreover, the director is Chief Jiang!
This further demonstrates how much Chief Jiang values this research institute!
This news excited everyone at the base who had relevant professional experience.
Especially those poor people in shantytowns who have relevant experience!
After the apocalypse, their expertise seemed useless, and no faction was willing to recruit them to research these things.
Now, finally some major powers are realizing the importance of this!
People signed up in droves.
Some of the teachers or PhDs who had previously conducted virus research at universities, despite the hardships they had endured in the apocalypse, still had a persistent glimmer of scientific dedication in their eyes.
There are also some young college students who were interested in virology before the apocalypse, and now they finally have the opportunity to put their talents to use.
They are energetic, enthusiastic, and confident that they can contribute to the research institute.
Some are doctors or nurses at the hospital who have some understanding of the virus.
There are even biology enthusiasts who have taught themselves a lot about viruses.
They all came out of their humble dwellings and lined up to register.
They knew this was an opportunity to change their destiny, not only to bring themselves a better life, but also to contribute to the future of the entire base.
At the Donghu base, which has a population of over 70,000, the total number of applicants for the Virus Research Institute exceeded 400.
This caught the recruitment team off guard.
However, the Huaxi Valley base lacks professional personnel.
Finally, after assessment by the military doctors at Huaxi Valley Base, 50 people were selected, with the deputy director yet to be determined.
We will promote the deputy director once there is a breakthrough.
Time flies, and it's already mid-January in the blink of an eye.
On the main road between Congrong County and Donghu Base, there are still many convoys and organized scavengers traveling between the two places.
The power of the poor in the shantytowns is terrifying.
With the arrival of these people, the entire Rong County was as if it had been swarmed by locusts.
Everything was moved out.
Those once sturdy houses are now empty, their windows removed, and shards of glass scattered everywhere.
Even the nails were pried out of the wooden planks one by one and carefully collected.
Even rusty nails were not spared, because in this era of scarcity, any piece of metal could become a life-saving tool.
The furniture was roughly dismantled; the movable planks were carried on shoulders, and the non-movable ones were smashed to pieces, in an attempt to find any useful items that might be hidden inside.
The bedding and pillows on the bed, no matter how worn out, were quickly taken away, becoming people's hope for keeping warm at night.
Even the pots and pans in the kitchen, though broken and incomplete, were all taken away, perhaps to play a crucial role at some point.
Even the brick walls were not spared.
Strong men used rudimentary tools to try to pry off the bricks, thinking they could use them to build makeshift shelters or reinforce their shacks.
Each brick seemed like a precious treasure, sparking a frenzy among people.
The stone slabs on the ground were also pried up, in the hope that they would come in handy in the future.
The entire Rong County was transformed beyond recognition by the frenzied looting of this group of poor people, as if it had undergone a devastating disaster, leaving only a desolate and dilapidated scene.
Meanwhile, the Donghu base has once again seen a surge in construction activity.
At the base's city wall, construction has already begun on a second city wall.
With pressure from the Huaxi Valley base, the military, and the Liu family, and with ample building materials in Rong County, this idea was fully implemented.
Once the second city wall is completed.
The next time the zombie horde attacks, even if T2 throws M2 in, it will at most get stuck between the two city walls.
It can be said that the Donghu base will be impregnable at that time.
Unless new circumstances arise.
Thousands of strong men are busy at this construction site.
Construction vehicles were everywhere.
Labor compensation is now almost double what it used to be.
However, even so, it's nothing to the forces in the base.
Inside the Donghu base, there are simple houses under construction everywhere.
The entire Donghu base has nearly 70,000 people, and everyone has something to do!
Even underage children can find an easy job.
Whether they are working or scavenging, these survivors can obtain food and supplies.
No one rushed to the lake to compete with the evolved beasts for food anymore.
It can be said that the Huaxi Valley base recaptured Rong County and forced the poor people in the shantytowns who lacked resources to scavenge.
This action directly revitalized the entire Donghu base.
A new market has been built next to the old one and is already in operation.
The new market is much better than the old market, which was worse than a pigsty.
It not only has a flat cement floor, but also cement-cast beams, columns, and a roof.
The walls were also made of lightweight bricks.
In this apocalyptic world, this market spanning several thousand square meters at the Donghu base is nothing short of luxurious!
Moreover, a new market is under construction next to the new market.
Jiang Wu's idea was to build several large spaces in stages and eventually connect them into one.
It is both a supermarket and a place that meets the daily trading needs of the base.
It's also a super parking lot, so that even if acid rain falls again, all vehicles can drive into this market.
At the same time, it may become a giant factory in the future.
Jiang Wu has found a huge amount of building materials at several construction sites and building material markets in Rong County, and he is now very wealthy.
In the new market, all the patrolling soldiers are police officers from the Flower Valley base.
Since the Rongxian battle, the police station and armed forces department have acquired another batch of firearms and riot control equipment.
There are over three hundred handguns alone.
There are also other equipment such as shotguns and automatic rifles.
Jiang Wu simply established a 500-person disciplinary squad.
Compared to regular field squads, this patrol brigade was much worse equipped, mainly with pistols and shotguns.
They're not much better at fighting zombies, but they're sufficient for the base's daily maintenance.
The captain and deputy captain of this disciplinary brigade were Dezi and Mazi from the supervisory team, respectively.
Guo Yong officially became the captain of the supervisory team.
At this point, all of the earliest followers of Jiang Wu had become true middle and senior management of the base.
