Chapter 47 features a lazy style.
Ling Ran said she was going to sleep, but she didn't actually sleep.
There was a television in the master bedroom, which had many locally preserved programs. She had never watched television before, and she was immediately captivated by it.
It wasn't until nightfall, when Pei Xiu came to call her for dinner, that she realized she hadn't even finished watching a single TV series.
"This human television is much more interesting than the novels of the cultivation world." Ling Ran rubbed her slightly sore eyes: "I'm hooked."
She quickly washed up and then went downstairs.
The dishes for dinner were basically the same as those for lunch, which Ling Ran bought at the market in the morning and hadn't finished cooking at noon.
After Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang had their lunch, they were still excited, but much calmer during dinner.
While peeling crayfish, Ling Ran asked, "Why does this base feel a bit messy to me?"
"Huh? Is it chaotic?" Pei Xiu didn't think so.
"It's not that it's chaotic, it's just that there doesn't seem to be any rules or regulations." Ling Ran thought about what she saw in the base today: "Although I can see the base's management, it always feels like something is missing. Look at the base, before the apocalypse, they used RMB, and after the apocalypse, they use crystal cores. But how much are crystal cores actually worth? It seems very vague. Moreover, crystal cores are not suitable as a unified currency because they are too general, just like gold before the apocalypse."
Once Ling Ran said that, Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang understood.
"This problem has indeed always existed, and the base is aware of it. However, the base is currently severely understaffed, and there are too many survivors within the base, so..."
Although people with special abilities like Pei Yi are unwilling to stay at the Southern Province base, most ordinary people are willing to stay there.
Because, putting everything else aside, the supplies at the Southern Province base are plentiful; at least you won't starve.
Some ordinary people who had been to other bases were even more reluctant to leave after being rescued by the rescue team and brought to the South Province base.
I've heard that in other bases, a single steamed bun can lead to a murder, and a single steamed bun can lead some men to send the women in their homes to other men's beds. There, you can witness the ugliness of human nature without any bottom line.
The reason why the base in the southern province is relatively peaceful is because the people in the base are well-fed and watered.
Of course, because they are well-fed and watered, many people do not engage in production and are very lazy.
People like Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang are lazy even though they are superpowered individuals, and they are unwilling to go out and take on missions and adventures, let alone other ordinary people.
The entire base has a laid-back atmosphere.
Ling Ran understood instantly.
This base absorbs too few superhumans. Even if it does, many of them are lazy and content with their food and drink, so who would want to take risks? Since the base is willing to support them, they all become 'lazy and good-for-nothing'.
If it were just the military personnel managing it, they would have to protect the base's security, fight marine life every now and then, go out to find supplies and kill zombies to earn crystal cores, and there would be rescue teams out there every day to carry out rescue operations, plus managing the base...
Thinking about it, I really can't be in two places at once.
The base manager had good intentions, but the base didn't have enough talent. He wanted to do everything at once, which resulted in him not being able to do anything well and causing a mess.
According to Ling Ran, it would be better to stop some things, focus on managing one thing first, and then slowly arrange the others on the schedule. Wouldn't that be better?
"Although there is no shortage of supplies, the people at the base can't keep eating seafood. The bodies of the superhumans are fine, but can ordinary people endure it?"
Pei Xiu nodded: "The base's managers have also thought about this issue, so our base is now working hard to recruit more flying ability users, hoping that more flying ability users can exchange seafood for supplies at other bases."
Ling Ran: "..."
All she could do was give the manager a thumbs up.
