Zhou Ming and Lin Xian were stunned.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Fifteen thousand people?
In this kind of world, how can such a powerful force still exist?
It's like something out of a fairy tale.
Wang Bufan glanced at the two men's tattered clothes and the exhaustion hidden beneath the mud, and said to his men, "Take them to wash up, give them hot water, clean towels, and cotton clothes, and arrange for two meals to replenish their energy."
The soldier saluted: "Yes, sir!"
Zhou Ming stared blankly at the soldier's perfect military salute.
Wang Bufan then looked at Zhou Ming and Lin Xian, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'm also going back to my post anyway, I'll see you off."
Soon, Zhou Ming and Lin Xian were taken to the temporary residence.
It was called a base, but it was actually just a few dozen heavy trucks that had fenced off an area and set up a dozen or so tents.
At this moment, in addition to the logistics personnel in military uniforms, there are also some survivors wearing ordinary cotton-padded clothes at this temporary base.
Judging from their appearance, they were only recently accepted into this place.
At this moment, a soldier brought two steaming hot field rations to Zhou Ming and Lin Xian.
Wang Bufan patted Zhou Ming on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You guys eat first. After you eat, they will arrange for you to take a shower and change clothes. After that, you will be safe."
After saying that, Wang Bufan walked towards a tent.
Zhou Ming stared blankly at Wang Bufan's back for a moment, then looked down at the steaming hot lunchbox in his hand, which felt quite substantial.
The next second, he lifted the lid.
A rich aroma instantly filled the air.
White rice, cured meat, cured fish, vegetables, fried peanuts, and some kind of meat chunks that looked like fish.
Zhou Ming and Chen Xian stared blankly at the lunchbox piled high with food, completely stunned.
Suddenly, Zhou Ming snapped out of his daze and shouted excitedly at Wang Bufan's retreating figure, "Sir, I have important news! It's crucial for humanity!"
This kind of behavior is definitely that of a true soldier!
Those mutated chickens and the incredibly productive sweet potatoes they raised have finally found their true owners!
Instead of letting those people waste their talents!
Wang Bufan was slightly taken aback, then turned around and looked at Zhou Ming with some suspicion.
What kind of news is so important to humanity?
Could it be that I'm about to achieve another great feat, having just recently made a contribution?
That's unlikely, isn't it?
Suppressing his excitement, Wang Bufan returned to Zhou Ming's side and calmly asked, "What news?"
Zhou Ming took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then began to speak.
"...Those mutated chickens, even the hens, can basically grow to be half a person's height and weigh 60 kilograms. Some of the larger ones can even reach more than a meter in height and weigh nearly 100 kilograms!"
"Most importantly, they lay a lot of eggs! A single hen can lay two to three eggs a day! And the eggs are almost the size of ostrich eggs! Plus, they're very easy to raise..."
"...Besides these mutated chickens, there's also a mutated sweet potato vine! They grow extremely fast, and both the leaves and the sweet potatoes taste exceptionally good! Especially the sweet potatoes, which have a particularly high sugar content..."
Zhou Ming described it in as much detail as possible.
Wang Bufan was stunned.
It can raise mutant chickens!
A stable, high-yielding, and delicious mutant sweet potato has been cultivated!
I've done something amazing again?!
Am I going to become a battalion commander?
Wait a moment!
Zhou Ming just said he has a PhD in agronomy!
The Ministry of Agriculture is actively recruiting talent, and is particularly looking for research-oriented individuals.
After all, there are many farmers in Fuxing City, but very few people who specialize in agronomy.
Wouldn't the Ministry of Agriculture treat someone like Zhou Ming, who has a high level of education and has even cultivated evolved chickens and mutated sweet potatoes, as a treasure?
Thinking of this, Wang Bufan's gaze towards Zhou Ming changed again.
The city of Fuxing has now fully restored order, with all departments performing their respective duties.
The military remains the most sought-after sector, offering the best benefits and perks.
The fact that they can eat free evolved beast meat every day is enough to make everyone envious.
Moreover, many valuable items that require contribution points to redeem, such as enhancement fluid, level 2 and higher-tier evolved beast meat, bio-armor, and other evolution-related items, can only be redeemed by military personnel.
This led to everyone in Fuxing City yearning to join the military.
Every expansion of the army is the most exciting moment in Fuxing City.
But only a minority can actually join the military.
News of the recapture of Tianxuan City has spread, and the population of Huaxia Fuxing has now exceeded one million.
Even so, the total number of people in the military was less than 100,000.
A probability of one in ten.
This proportion was very high before the disaster occurred.
But now, the proportion is too low!
After all, everyone who's still alive is a shrewd and capable person.
They can all be called "elite".
Regardless of gender, give them a weapon, and they'll all be willing to fight zombies to the death.
so.
What about the remaining 900,000 people who want to live better lives?
Want more contribution points?
Want to make a name for yourself?
Want to defy fate again?
The best way is to join one of the major departments first!
Departments like the Logistics Department and the Discipline Inspection Office are highly sought-after!
Tens of thousands of people are desperate to join.
Meanwhile, departments like the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Medicine, which were originally considered peripheral, are now being addressed.
Because the compensation is the same as that of popular departments such as the Logistics Department, the Discipline Inspection Department, and the Audit Department.
The price has already risen significantly.
The Ministry of Agriculture, in particular, has seen its status significantly elevated since the introduction of mutant dairy cows and mutant pigs.
Now that we have successfully bred mutant sweet potatoes and hundreds or even thousands of mutant chickens, their status will likely be elevated even further.
Zhou Ming, a great contributor and highly educated intellectual, will definitely become a core member of the Ministry of Agriculture!
Wang Bufan took out a pack of high-end cigarettes, looked at Zhou Ming with a smile, and asked, "Old Zhou, do you smoke?"
Zhou Ming looked at the cigarette in Wang Bufan's hand and couldn't help but swallow.
I hadn't smoked for over a year, but I was forced to quit.
But seeing the pack of cigarettes that Zhou Ming used to love in Wang Bufan's hand, Zhou Ming still couldn't help himself.
The next second, Wang Bufan shoved the pack of cigarettes into Zhou Ming's hand and said with a smile, "Judging from your appearance, you like smoking. Take this pack to satisfy your craving. This stuff is getting rarer and rarer. Next time we attack the county town, I'll see if we can find a few more packs."
At this point, he couldn't help but say proudly, "Old Zhou, you don't know, now that China is reviving, we have no worries about food or drink, so cigarettes and alcohol have become scarce items."
"Only our army is allowed to keep some supplies as spoils of war when it goes out to collect them. Others who want these can only exchange them for contributions."
"So, we're destined to meet. Let's keep in touch more often in the future. I can get you some cigarettes that don't require any contribution points."
"By the way, you can just call me Lao Wang from now on."
