Chapter 167 Change of Plan
At this time, there were still two and a half months before the siege of the mutant creatures.
Now that they had Lu Ming's awakening function, they immediately changed their plans.
First, the supply team suspended all work, and together with the clearing team, all combatants went to the nearby area to clear out zombies and collect crystals.
This is because, after Luming's space was upgraded, the amount of land suddenly doubled, from dozens of pieces to thousands of pieces, the fish pond became a lake, the lake became the sea, and the maximum speed also increased from 1:20 to 1:40.
She planted vegetables, fruits and grain seeds on all the land, and spent a lot of money to buy hundreds of pigs, cattle and sheep. Together with the original chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps, she could produce enough food every half a month to feed 150,000 people for a month. So they didn't have to worry about supplies for the time being, and they could concentrate on improving the strength of everyone in the base.
Secondly, two hundred qualified team members are selected from the Chaoyang Brigade every day to stimulate their superpowers.
Although they also want to stimulate the superpowers of all qualified people as soon as possible, there is a daily limit on Lu Ming's black fruits. Five can be produced in a day in the space. After adjusting to the maximum speed, it can only provide 200 in a day in reality, so this number was chosen.
During the selection process, they would first conduct an initial screening among the team members. After several rounds of screening, they discovered a pattern: the longer a person stays with Luming, that is, the more spring water they drink, the more likely they are to meet the requirements.
So almost all the ordinary people in Lu Shaoyang's team and Zhou Zixi's team were selected first, and then entered the two-way mirror conference room one after another for Lu Ming to select.
The reason why it is not made public is that they are afraid that those who are not selected will doubt their screening mechanism and thus bear a grudge against Lu Ming.
Those who are not selected will also receive a bottle of physical enhancement potion for free. The main ingredient of this potion is actually Luming Spring water, with some warming and nourishing herbs added. The cost is not high, but the effect is very good. No matter whether the people in Chaoyang Brigade have special abilities or not, they can drink a bottle every day, and their special abilities will increase faster than others.
But this time, the name Luming also successfully came into people's sight.
It was not for any other reason, but because the base issued an announcement that they had actually developed a potion that could awaken people, and this potion was discovered by Lu Ming.
All the ordinary people were skeptical at first, but when they saw that more and more people had successfully and safely awakened their special powers, they began to get excited and asked to join the official guard of the base. The recruitment office of the armed forces became unprecedentedly lively.
The next step was to open various factories in the base. In the past, whenever Lu Ming encountered a processing factory, he would habitually take back a few sets of their production lines. Now they came in handy. Garment factories, grain product factories, agricultural product processing factories, building materials factories, and paper mills were built one after another, solving the employment problems of a large number of elderly women and teenagers.
Everyone got a job and received a generous salary. Their living standards improved dramatically. They could use the extra money to buy enhancement potions. Their health improved, which in turn supported their work. The people in the base were full of hope for a while. The entire base developed well and people's cohesion was unprecedentedly improved.
Finally, he focused on the training and ability improvement of each guard. Even Gu Chao personally taught the students, hoping that they could stand on their own as soon as possible.
All the senior executives of the base were divided into two parts. One group paid close attention to the movements and evolution of the mutated marine creatures, while the other group was busy planning to set up various traps, even as far as the edge of Province H where City C was located.
The reason why traps were not set before was mainly because these marine mutant creatures were not afraid of bombs, artillery fire, mud and sand, etc., so they could only be stopped by digging pits, which was very cost-effective.
But now that they have enough people with special abilities, they can combine their abilities and start from places far away from the base to slowly deplete their numbers. In this way, if the plan goes well, by the time the remaining troops get close to the base, there will be less than half of them, and the pressure on the base will be greatly reduced.
Lu Ming is very busy every day now. During the day, she will follow the clearing team to kill zombies and pick up crystals. When she comes back at night, she will continue to select backup candidates to awaken their superpowers, and personally give them potions made from cold-pressed fruits. She can only rest after watching them awaken their superpowers.
That day, Lu Ming and Gu Chao returned to their hotel room, preparing to wash up and go to bed.
After her eyes recovered, Gu Chao was afraid that she would have a relapse, so he stayed with her for another week. After seeing that she was fine, he prepared to move back.
But after sleeping in the same bed for so many days, the two were reluctant to separate.
After they finished washing up, Gu Chao stood at the door and said good night to her.
Lu Ming pulled his sleeve, feeling somewhat depressed.
"Can't we continue living together? The time we can see each other every day is so short. I miss you so much."
Gu Chao's eyes became dark, with complex emotions in them that were hard to discern. He put his arms around her slender waist and bent down to kiss her.
Then he asked her in a hoarse voice: "Do you know what it means to actively invite a man to live in your room?"
Although Lu Ming was relatively ignorant about matters between men and women, she at least had some basic physiology and experience watching live pornographic performances, so she understood that when two people slept together, certain things might happen...
Her face flushed slightly, and she stammered, "I, I, know. If, if you want, it's not impossible..."
No matter where she is, she is alone, so she acts according to her heart and never has to think too much.
After hearing this, Gu Chao was filled with emotion.
In fact, he once asked Li Hangyuan to check her family. Although she had lost her memory and never mentioned it, he was afraid that she would suddenly remember it one day and regret her current behavior.
But after investigation, it was discovered that her parents divorced because the husband had an affair. She originally lived with her mother, but she returned to live with her father three years ago when her mother passed away. However, the man was afraid that she would affect their new family life, so he left her alone in the property in City N to fend for herself. Apart from sending her money, he never cared about her. He stayed in the capital with his mistress, which made him feel even more sorry for the girl and never mentioned her family.
No one protected her, so he did; no one loved her, so he loved her, so he always thought more than she did, always afraid of hurting her. He dared not even think about such a thing. After all, she was only eighteen, and had not reached the legal age for marriage before the end of the world. She knew nothing and was very silly.
But he couldn't bear to see her disappointed.
He patted her head and smiled helplessly, "Little fool. You are still young, let's talk about that later."
"Oh." Lu Ming was a little disappointed. So are they still going to separate?
Gu Chao took her hand and led her into the room, then closed the door and said, "Let's go, it's time to go to bed."
Lu Ming followed him inside, and only reacted after he took her to the bed and lay down on it himself.
"How did you..."
The man beside her held her in his arms and looked at her: "Isn't there a little friend who wants to sleep with you?"
Lu Ming smiled in surprise and kissed him on the mouth, "Good night, big friend."
The person being kissed restrained himself for a long time before not kissing her back. He patted her head and said, "Go to sleep. Good night."
"Good night." Lu Ming fell asleep peacefully.
The man quietly opened his eyes, felt the soft touch on his side, and sighed.
Pain and happiness.
He has a hard time.
