Chapter 233 The Witch Hunt



Money can indeed solve 90% of problems, even in the wasteland.

As the Oasis Base expanded its planting scale, agriculture became the mainstay industry of the Oasis Base. Now, in just one year, it can earn more than 80 million points just from selling wheat!

In addition to the vegetables produced at the base and the new recipes introduced every month, the Oasis Base can earn over 100 million points just from land output.

The construction of satellite base stations is supported by points, and Fang Qingdai can also find out obsolete products from some parts and chips that are monopolized by the Qinglong base.

Therefore, the base station project is now in its final stages.

While the satellite base station is being built, the rockets and satellites used to launch the satellites are following closely behind. It is expected that in another six months, the Oasis base will be able to attempt to launch its own satellite!

That year, the Oasis Base was thriving and developing at its peak, but the outside world was in complete chaos.

The three bases began to openly conduct human experiments. After the first riots were suppressed, the bases were temporarily stable, and they only targeted scattered groups such as the Wasteland Bandits.

Many ordinary people in the base have received superpower implants, and some people who already had superpowers have the opportunity to gain an additional superpower.

Seeing the base in such a state, the people, who were initially tense, gradually relaxed and began to look forward to it, and began to enthusiastically support the experiment of creating a god.

The experiment to create a god instantly became a revolutionary technology that attracted worldwide attention.

So Fang Qingdai and her group picked up a group of people from the base in the early stages of the turmoil, and she even regretted that they hadn't picked up enough people.

However, some of the people who were rescued regretted their actions after hearing about the development of the base outside.

They misjudged the situation. The base did not extend its reach to ordinary people at all; in fact, it gave the base's inhabitants more opportunities to gain power!

If they don't defect, is there a chance they'll gain more power?

The people who were rescued were in a state of turmoil.

Fang Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief.

That saves them the trouble of spending a long time isolating and testing each other.

Those who harbored disloyal intentions were screened out and imprisoned, but were not executed.

Fang Qingdai was waiting for an opportunity.

If someone is executed by the new base for regretting joining, those who originally had no dissent will inevitably feel that the new base's hegemony is intolerant of others.

Fortunately, not long ago, the peace on the surface of the base finally shattered!

The bandits in the wasteland lived a hard life and were not a large group to begin with. The three major bases joined forces to wipe them out and take people back for human experiments. After a year, the security in the wasteland was improved to an unprecedented level.

The bandits in the wasteland have hunted them to extinction!

Having already tasted the benefits of artificial superpowers, how could the three major bases be willing to stop there?

So people started disappearing from the base inexplicably again, and now it has escalated to the point where people are being falsely accused and sentenced to death.

Although it was called execution, everyone knew in their hearts that they were being captured to be used for human experimentation.

The wasteland seemed to have suddenly returned to medieval Europe, launching a new "witch hunt".

This person is very popular, probably because he possesses special abilities that have bewitched people. He is guilty and should be put on trial.

This man is tall, surely because he has obtained evil power; he is guilty and should be judged.

This person eats a lot; he can eat ten steamed buns in one meal. He is guilty and should be put on trial…

It also resembled the dark decade in China, when ordinary people lived in constant fear, afraid that if they said the wrong thing, they would be reported by a group of watchful people and sent to prison to await trial.

When eating, drinking, defecating, breathing, and sleeping can all become crimes, the people of the three bases are suffering terribly!

Fang Qingdai said, "This situation won't last long. Soon, someone will be unable to bear the oppression and will take the lead in rebellion."

After all, the wasteland is not the Central European Century. The wrongly accused "witch" has no witchcraft to fight back. The people here have superpowers and the power to resist.

It wasn't a dark decade for China. The people here don't have a strong sense of belonging or identification with the base, so they can't just stand by and be punished while waiting for their superiors to wake up.

Sure enough, this chaos only lasted for two months before the three bases once again launched a new wave of riots and rebellions.

Fang Qingdai went out to pick up people again.

This time, no adults were picked up. Since the base's god-making experiment began, ordinary people and people with superpowers have all submitted to it.

The current riots are simply a result of people realizing they are not in control of power and will most likely become victims of a god-making experiment, getting nothing in return. That's why they've raised the banner of "justice."

But the truth is, they were only doing it for the meat and soup, not to resist the inhumane experiments.

Fang Qingdai looked down on those people; her target was the children displaced by war.

Children haven't experienced that much pollution yet, and even younger children don't know how much the world has changed in just two years.

Their lives are just beginning. With a good education and training, they will become a useful member of the base, regardless of whether they can activate their superpowers in the future.

Furthermore, early education helps cultivate their sense of belonging to the Oasis Base.

Fang Qingdai was like a human trafficker, wandering aimlessly in the wilderness all day, and would approach any lone child she saw to strike up a conversation.

Those who were certain they had no relatives left and whose values ​​hadn't been completely warped were taken back.

The internal strife at the base lasted for three months, and ended once again with a forceful crackdown by the base.

After this riot, the base realized that it was extending its reach to its own people, and that such riots could not be completely prevented and would inevitably happen again.

If they can't target their own people and there are no more wilderness bandits to experiment on, where can they find new targets for extracting superpowers?

The atmosphere among the three bases suddenly became tense, with each eyeing the other covetously while also restraining the others, creating an atmosphere of panic and uncertainty in the wasteland.

Fang Qingdai, observing the conflict from the sidelines, asked Jing Yi, "What do you mean? Should we get involved?"

She never intended to participate in that experiment, nor would she want to profit from human suffering.

Fang Qingdai only wanted to control the food supply so that the three parties could break the ties and start fighting as soon as possible!

With the three powers in a standoff, her Oasis base has little chance of standing out. If she wants to gain a foothold in the wasteland, she has to eliminate one of the three powers first!

Jing Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's not move for now. Let's go to the Azure Dragon Base and see what plans they have."

As the big brother of the wasteland, the Azure Dragon Base did not show up at all. Fang Qingdai was not sure if they were avoiding her like she was, or if they were secretly observing the situation and waiting for a chance to strike and kill her.

Fang Qingdai also wanted to know what was going on at the Azure Dragon Base, so she decisively took stock of her people, packed her bags, and led them to the Azure Dragon Base in a hurry.

Another way to disrupt the tripartite balance of power is to use someone else's strength against them.

If the Azure Dragon Base is willing to take care of this matter, Fang Qingdai can simply stay in the background and wait for the right opportunity.
