Chapter 165 The Rich Lead the Poor



The base where Yu Feng is located is the eighth base in Shangjing City.

Because of the low ranking, there are fewer people in the base and less food can be distributed.

Normally they would still be asleep at this time, but today was different. They were waiting for their brave men to come back, but they had been gone for several hours and when dawn came, no one had returned.

"Could it be that they have already been killed?"

"No, Yu Feng is quite capable. If he wasn't used to being free, he would have gone to the Fifth Base a long time ago. The welfare there is better than here..."

Having said that, the base commander was no longer confident and waited until noon before he received the news that Yu Feng and his group had died.

The Eighth Base sent people to assassinate a group of newly arrived "fat sheep" but failed, and the news quickly spread to major bases in Shangjing City.

The First Base also received the news, but before they had time to discuss countermeasures, they heard more important news from the other side: Xu Bai came to the First Base!

Ji Heng also accompanied Xu Bai to the base.

Hua Xuan was worried about Ji Heng and Xu Bai, so she discussed with Shi Miaozheng and waited not far from the first base.

After Shi Miaozheng talked to them, they drove Xu Bai and Ji Heng to the gate of the first base, and then parked the car outside the first base, facing the gate.

The entry and exit of the First Base is strictly controlled, and outsiders are not allowed to carry weapons.

After receiving Xu Bai's call, He Changjun immediately ran to the door to greet them. As soon as he arrived, he heard the man next to Xu Bai being asked to put down his weapon.

"We should abide by the rules."

Xu Bai took Ji Heng's weapon and put it into the space. "Is this it?"

Xu Bai spread his hands. In the apocalypse, asking people to remove their weapons is undoubtedly asking for their second life. No one can predict what creature will appear in the next second. Weapons are people's first means of self-defense.

The gatekeeper: “…”

"No, no, let them in."

When He Changjun saw Xu Bai coming in, he looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes, and recalled the miserable memory of Xu Bai crying poor to him and being dominated by him two years ago.

In the conference room.

There were many people sitting here that Xu Bai didn't know, and some of whose photos she had seen in books.

After He Changjun introduced them one by one, the people from the Agricultural Crop Department couldn't help asking questions immediately about the soil conditions of crops in Shuguang City. The department responsible for building the railway was more concerned about the trains being built in Shangjing City outside.

You say one thing at a time.

The entire conference room was in chaos. Xu Bai and Ji Heng both sat quietly and did not respond to any of their questions.

The leader of the first base suddenly slammed the table, asking them to calm down.

The elder, who had a somewhat bleak appearance before the apocalypse, had lost a lot of weight after these years. He forced a smile, trying to look peaceful. "Xu Bai, on behalf of Guo Jia, I want to thank you for saving the entire Zhe City. Many people in Zhe City can now live well. Thank you for coming all the way here and helping build the train outside."

The first base consumes a lot of crystal cores every day and sends them to branch bases, but Xu Bai was still given a box of high-level crystal core zombies.

"The arrival of the apocalypse is something everyone is extremely reluctant to see, and it has also triggered a lot of supernatural powers."

"I heard from He that Xu Bai needs a large number of crystal cores for construction every day. The things he builds far exceed our current scientific research level."

"This box of crystal cores may not be enough for you to build Shangjing City, but it's what we can afford for now."

Xu Bai caught a glimpse of the hesitant expressions of the other people in the conference room, and she also knew that this box of crystal cores might be the trump card of the First Base, but the things she purchased and built did consume a lot of crystal cores.

Xu Bai accepted it without hesitation.

After she accepted it, she saw that some people's faces immediately turned dark.

She wanted to not charge any fees, but poverty alleviation also depends on the fact that Shuguang City has sufficient funds.

After experiencing the end of the world in her previous life for ten years, Xu Bai had long lost her innocent heart. She accepted the crystal core and then used it to purchase things from the system store, so as to maximize her profits.

It is impossible to achieve self-sufficiency in all parts of the country relying solely on Dawn City.

The countdown time and the 20% progress of the plane promotion appeared in Xu Bai's mind again.

The crystal core must be collected.

Xu Bai didn't add any markup to the cost. He just added the purchase price and the hard work fee for himself and Ji Heng and his group, and paid it to the First Base.

Xu Baiyi took out the cost sheet, deducted the amount of crystal cores in this box, and handed the details to the man in front of him.

Someone immediately couldn't help but say, "Don't be so materialistic at such a young age. What do you need so many crystal cores for? Ai Guo Ai Guo!"

"Building the base costs money, and purchasing materials costs money. If you don't charge me, where am I supposed to find these materials?"

"Don't you want to quickly restore the current situation to its pre-apocalyptic state?"

Xu Bai was put on a big hat, leaving people speechless.

These people already knew without a tacit understanding that Xu Bai had the ability to purchase super technology, but after reading a lot of novels about this ability, they came to the conclusion that he was probably the chosen one who could obtain the legendary trading store or some kind of system.

Naturally, I can guess what Xu Bai wants to do with the crystal core.

They were angry but they couldn't do anything to Xu Bai.

Even if Xu Bai was captured, there was no guarantee that they would be able to figure it out and gain access to her "system".

"Well, don't forget that we never take a cent from the people. These are what we deserve. It just takes some time to replenish this other box of crystal cores."

"This is a cooperative project I devised. Shangjing City has a large population and a vast area, so we can set up many processing plants."

Xu Bai's plane trading system has connected with many rare races. After learning that a certain race has less hair, needs various wigs, and is extremely fond of beauty, he immediately set up a new factory.

The rich first will help the poor later.

Unless Dawn City can attract a large number of residents again, there is not much point in setting up factories in Dawn City. There is a lack of materials and people, and it would be different if it were set up somewhere else.

Shangjing City is about to enter a busy life.

It was easy to find an empty and idle factory area. Soon, wig factories, comb factories, hair accessories factories, mirror factories and other processing factories opened for business.

The listed city originally had ten major bases, but they were immediately disrupted after these factories were opened.

There is food provided for work.

It immediately attracted a large number of people to work in the factory. When there was a shortage of people, it was first come first served.

It is hard for those who successfully enter the factory and become workers to imagine that one day in the end times, they will be able to get a job.
