Chapter 471 Lifeline
The name Hao Ren sounds more like a male name.
Hao Ren seemed aware of everyone's confusion about her name and took the initiative to explain: "This is the name my father gave me. He hoped that I would be a good person, whether I give birth to a man or a woman."
Ling Ran reached out and gave her a light handshake as a greeting.
"Captain Ling, I saw in the information that you haven't joined any other bases. I was wondering if you would consider joining our Weiyang base?"
At this point, Hao Ren continued, "I know the situation at Weiyang Base is very bad right now, but Weiyang Base will give you the best treatment. As long as we have it, Captain Ling can ask for it, and we will definitely be able to give you treatment that no other base can provide."
Hao Ren didn't bring up ordinary people.
Saying that would be a bit like moral blackmail, and if I really wanted to help these people, they would have helped me anyway.
Just like she herself is a level four ability user, she can completely abandon the base and live in other places, and she can still find a good way out.
But Hao Ren, she just couldn't abandon these people, and these people had come here because they trusted the Weiyang base. As the base leader, how could she back down first?
“I’m sorry, we don’t intend to join any base,” Pei Yi refused.
Hao Ren grew anxious: "Captain Ling, really, you can make any request. Don't think your request is excessive. For our Weiyang base, your request might be just right. In fact, if you want to take on management positions at the Weiyang base, that's not out of the question..."
Hao Ren had no way to solve the predicament that had been going on for months, and it was even getting worse. He was really anxious as he watched the base move step by step toward destruction.
They sought help from other bases, but those bases were also struggling and simply couldn't accept so many people, especially since some of them might be carrying the virus. It's fair to say that Shaanxi Province has been isolated or even forgotten.
For so long, people from Shaanxi Province have only been leaving and not coming in. It's rare to see such a powerful team that dares to come to the Weiyang base despite the M1 virus. This made Hao Ren not care about anything else, he just wanted to grasp at this straw that might not be a lifeline.
Because she truly had no other options.
Pei Yi was also surprised that Hao Ren would even say he would give up his position as base commander. It seems that the Weiyang base has really reached a dead end.
However, Pei Yi had to refuse her: "I'm sorry, we are not interested in the position of base commander."
"All right."
The hopeful light in Hao Ren's eyes vanished instantly.
Yes, even if a small team dared to come to the Weiyang base under these circumstances, it wouldn't necessarily be a miracle.
Miracles don't happen that easily, do they?
Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out: "Although I'm not interested in the position of base commander, Xiao Hao, could you tell me about the situation at Weiyang Base? Perhaps I can help you."
Hao Ren looked up, his eyes lighting up again: "Is it okay?"
She didn't care at all about being called "Xiao Hao".
If it can help the Weiyang base, I'll call her a bad person if I don't want to call her a good person.
"You can tell me."
"good."
Hao Ren nodded emphatically. Just as she was gathering her emotions and about to speak, the man interrupted her again: "But you'll have to wait for me to have breakfast."
She then realized that everyone else had just gotten up and hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
"I'm sorry, I've come at a bad time."
"It's alright," Pei Yi invited. "If Manager Hao hasn't eaten, you can sit down and eat with us."
Hao Ren spotted the abundant food on the table and shook his head, saying, "Thank you, but I've already eaten."
As she spoke, she walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, barely touching the sofa with her bottom, looking very reserved.
Only then did Hao Ren's brain finally start working; this team seemed to be even stronger than she had imagined.
At the very least, they should be more than just straws.
She waited anxiously for forty minutes, constantly organizing her thoughts, thinking about how to explain the situation at the Weiyang base and what benefits she could offer the other party.
Then Hao Ren saw several dark figures fall in front of him. He realized that Captain Ling had finished eating and the others were sitting opposite him.
Beside Captain Ling's feet lay a fat, plump pig.
Hao Ren struggled to look away from the pig, then banished all the recipes that had flashed through his mind, before turning to Ling Ran and explaining the situation at the Weiyang base.
It was the same information that Gu Zijing and the others had inquired about, except that Hao Ren provided more details and inside information.
Just like how Gu Zijing and the others didn't know that there were actually five or six infected superhumans within the base, no one except the core management of the Weiyang base knew about this.
Aside from that, there are only 16,000 survivors left at the Weiyang base, which is even fewer than what Gu Zijing and the others had found out.
In addition to people constantly leaving the base, the base is also experiencing a continuous death toll, especially in the quarantine zone, where a large number of people die every day.
Of the remaining people, those with superpowers accounted for less than one-twentieth, totaling less than eight hundred.
To be precise, there were 769 people.
Most are level two or three ability users, level four ability users are rare, and there is only one level five ability user.
Finally, there's the situation with supplies at the Weiyang base. The base is running low on supplies, and most of the missions to find supplies rely on people with superpowers. With so many people with superpowers leaving, the base has only been able to keep going and have food because so many people have left. Ironically, the original supplies have been what kept them going until now.
"In another two weeks, the base will run out of food."
Hao Ren rubbed his temples: "Now, apart from those who have been recruited by the base, very few of the superhumans in the base go out on missions. But relying on them alone is just a drop in the ocean. I'm afraid we'll starve to death before the zombie horde arrives or the M1 virus spreads."
Since the emergence of the M1 virus, Hao Ren has been unable to sleep at night, thinking about how to solve the problem every day. He is exhausted and can only watch helplessly as the base is destroyed step by step.
No one could help her with these things, which is why Hao Ren was so excited when he saw Ling Ran and the others.
Even if they were just a decent small team and couldn't possibly solve the problems at the Weiyang base, she couldn't care less.
After listening to Hao Ren talk for more than half an hour, Ling Ran summarized: "The ability users have left, there are no supplies, and the M1 virus. Right now, the Weiyang base is facing these three problems, right?"
"Um."
Hao Ren nodded: "Actually, I know that the M1 virus is difficult to solve. I was thinking about whether we could relocate the entire base with the support of supplies and people with superpowers. As for the infected person and the suspected infected person, we can only... give up."
