Ling found a place to sit down, patted the spot next to her, and gestured for Ye Hao to sit down as well.
"Alright, tell me about the other bases."
Ye Hao nodded and said:
"Zero, as you know, our human world is no longer at its peak."
He nodded at midnight.
He already knew this when he arrived.
Ye Hao continued:
"This led us to develop a 'pyramid system' of management."
"Because of the emergence of mutated species, in order to prevent their spread and facilitate management among people, the highest leader issued the order of 'regionalization'."
“‘Regionalization’ means starting from the headquarters, which is the base where the highest leader is located, and gradually moving down to the various branches, and then further dividing into thousands of bases of varying sizes. Each base has a commander, or captain, who manages the residents of that base. And I am the manager of this base.”
"Grading?"
Zero murmured.
"right!"
Ye Hao replied:
"This can be understood as hierarchical management."
"From high to low, in order downwards."
"This 'high' naturally refers to those with very strong technological capabilities, second only to the headquarters. These bases are all very close to the headquarters, which is to ensure the safety of the headquarters and facilitate support."
“And ‘low’ refers to small urban areas that are not very economically or technologically strong, and that’s where our base is.”
“There are many bases in similar situations to ours; we are just one of them.”
"Moreover, these bases are mostly scattered and far from the headquarters."
Zero Path:
"Such a strict hierarchy?"
Ye Hao sighed and said:
"That's right..."
"Not only is the hierarchy strict, but people from our base are also not allowed to go to other higher-level bases..."
"Such a thing actually happened?"
Zero was utterly shocked.
The human world is on the verge of destruction, and yet they're still not united? What kind of system do they want to establish? Is this supreme leader out of their mind...?
"So you two aren't in contact?"
"Do you mean there's no contact between different base areas?"
Zero asked.
Ye Hao nodded and replied:
"There is contact, of course, but we only contact each other once a year. And this contact is really just to report the number of survivors in the base to the higher-ups..."
"this……"
Zero was speechless...
Instead of uniting to fight the enemy, they're doing all this...
Ye Hao sighed again and said:
"Isn't the one-year deadline approaching? Our previous base has been destroyed, and we can't contact the people in the other bases. We're really worried about this..."
Zero's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:
"It's a good thing we can't get in touch with them."
Ye Hao asked in confusion:
"What good news?"
Zero Return:
"Think about it. Why did we ask you to contact each other in the first place?"
Ye Hao said:
"Report on the current number of people remaining in the base area."
"Then what?"
"Then we report on the situation of the species here, and whether there has been any expansion."
Zero smiled mysteriously and said:
"They didn't say anything to you, like giving you some technology or sending some people over, right?"
Ye Hao nodded.
"That's good then. This shows that headquarters is just putting on a show. They say they'll contact you every year, but they're not actually doing anything. There's no manpower support, no technological assistance. To put it bluntly, aren't they just leaving you to fend for yourselves?"
Zero, on the other hand, sees things very clearly; perhaps it's a case of the saying, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."
Ye Hao nodded, agreeing with what Ling said.
"and,"
Ling paused for a moment, then continued:
"This approach, which appears to be a regionalized management system for residents, actually disperses life-threatening things such as mutated species."
"Think about it this way: if you were to attack the enemy when there is a significant disparity in strength, would you first try to break through their weak points one by one, or would you launch a direct frontal assault and risk mutual destruction?"
Ye Hao answered decisively:
"Of course, we'll take them down one by one."
That is without a doubt.
Zero connection:
“That’s right. I believe the people at headquarters think the same way.”
"How so?"
Ye Hao asked.
He still didn't quite understand.
Without changing his expression, he said:
"The influx of mutated species can be described as a catastrophe facing the human world. Under such circumstances, instead of uniting, they established multiple strongholds to disperse the mutated species while also ensuring their own safety..."
"Excellent tactic!"
A chilling glint flashed in Zero's eyes, sending a shiver down Ye Hao's spine as he watched him intently.
Looking at Ye Hao, Zero spoke:
"So, do you have any way to contact people in other bases? No need for superiors, just people of your rank will do."
He suddenly had an idea...
Ye Hao shook his head and sighed:
"Our bases communicated with each other entirely through communication devices, and these devices couldn't even reach headquarters."
“Our previous base has been destroyed, and there’s no way to contact them anymore. Besides, the nearest base is over a hundred kilometers away.”
"We have no transportation. Even if we don't eat or drink, it would probably take us a whole day and night to walk there..."
This is absolutely impossible...
"Not to mention what unexpected situations might arise along the way..."
