"If you are unfaithful once, you will never be trusted again. Or you can just leave your life here." Lin Su looked at them and said.
As soon as these words were spoken, all those who had tried to bargain stood up and squeezed towards the door of the conference room. Half of the people were cleared out, and the remaining half were those who had been sitting there quietly.
Maybe they also have their own thoughts in their hearts, but the intelligence of not being the one to stick out is enough for Lin Su to keep them. Complete loyalty requires a long time to cultivate.
The base was reorganized again, and the number of people with special abilities decreased again. Although ordinary people were anxious and uneasy, those who truly mastered knowledge received improved treatment. Medicine, machinery, electricity, information technology...
They can go to work and receive standard food and crystal cores, and no longer have to worry about their lives being affected by unreasonable deductions and oppression.
At the same time, the medical research laboratory at Pojun Base has developed vigorously. As long as there is a breakthrough in research, a considerable number of crystal cores can be obtained.
Pojun Base is recruiting personnel from outside. As long as they work seriously and do their job well, they will no longer have to suffer from hunger.
No one could predict coincidences. On the fifth day after Ming Tang left, a team of outsiders applied to enter the Pojun base.
There were three military vehicles, and all the people getting off them were people with special abilities. If it weren't for their friendly attitude, the guards would almost think that they were here to attack the base.
"They said they were from the Asahi base and wanted to discuss cooperation," the person in charge reported.
Asahi Base is the base where the protagonists are located. In the original world line, they rushed to rescue because the Pojun Base was destroyed. Now they want to cooperate?
"Tell your people to be more restrained. They're already looking at us with wary eyes." Ruan Zehua put his fingers in his pockets and sighed. "This doesn't look like they're here to discuss cooperation."
"The leader of the Pojun base may not be an easy person to deal with, so we still have to give him a warning." Zhao Chengyu said, touching the gun on his waist.
The previous Pojun base was in chaos, and the new one is very likely to be even more powerful than the previous one. Living in the apocalypse, you must never overestimate human nature.
The door was opened, and a young man walked out surrounded by people. The boy had a round face, which showed a bit of cuteness, but he didn't look like a leader at all.
"Brother Lin is waiting for you inside, please follow us in." Wang Tai said seriously.
When Zhao Chengyu and Ruan Zehua heard that, they understood that before they showed their power, the leader of the base had shown their power first.
But people did treat them with courtesy. If they were to fuss over such things, it would seem that they were not broad-minded enough.
"Please lead the way." Ruan Zehua said with a smile.
Wang Tai led the way, Zhao Chengyu and Ruan Zehua followed, and the military vehicle drove slowly behind.
As soon as you enter the base, you can see the spirit here. The Chaori base adopts very strict military management. Even people with special abilities cannot oppress ordinary people at will. Before coming, they also inquired about the rumors about the Pojun base, but now they find that the faces of the people here are not as numb as they imagined. Instead, they see hope on some people's faces.
With tall buildings, clean corridors and meeting rooms, the overall atmosphere here is quite different from the Asahi base and is closer to a modern city.
Everything here made Ruan Zehua wonder what the new base leader would look like. When he saw the man, the man sitting at the table stood up and extended his hand politely, Ruan Zehua actually had a feeling that it was supposed to be like this.
He has an outstanding appearance, but looks like someone who can communicate.
"Welcome." Lin Su said.
"You're welcome." Ruan Zehua stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
He was born gentle and spoke with a soft feeling. Lin Su looked at him vaguely. In the original world line, the little guy lost his life for this young man.
Anyone who can make the little one willingly do something must have his own unique personality charm.
The introductions were a well-organized process. Zhao Chengyu clearly had a military style, and was used to speaking directly and openly about everything. "We're here this time to reach a cooperation with the Pojun Base. I wonder if you're interested?"
"How do you want to cooperate?" Lin Su asked.
Ruan Zehua took out a piece of paper and handed it over, saying, "I've written down the general terms here. The bases must help each other. If one base is invaded by a zombie horde, the other bases must actively respond and provide support. Excess food and supplies can be exchanged, and research results can be exchanged or purchased..."
There are quite a few conditions listed above, but they are just brief.
Lin Su read it carefully and said after finishing, "This condition is indeed beneficial to both parties, but why do you want to cooperate? The Chaori Base should not only want to cooperate with the Pojun Base, but also with other bases. Does the cooperation between the bases also share the benefits?"
He asked the point right away. Zhao Chengyu narrowed his eyes. If he didn't take the Pojun Base seriously at the beginning, now he took it seriously completely. No matter how powerful he was, this man was very smart, and the end of the world needed smart and flexible people.
"Because the slave system has begun to be implemented in many bases, ordinary people are being treated like animals. Long-term oppression is not conducive to the end of the apocalypse." Zhao Chengyu said.
Not all leaders have the mindset to look to the future, especially when the end of the world seems far away, some people are more greedy for temporary pleasure.
"As for the latter, once the cooperation reaches a large scale, the security of each base can be well guaranteed. Once they unite into one force, they will have the capital to negotiate terms even against large bases." Ruan Zehua said.
"Led by the Asahi Base?" Lin Su asked.
Ruan Zehua and Zhao Chengyu exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and nodded, "Yes, if you agree to cooperate, we will give you the latest research results and expand the base's grain production."
The conditions sound good, and some small bases probably can't refuse them at all. From their perspective, Lin Su doesn't think they have done anything wrong. After all, compared to forceful oppression, they are more willing to cooperate in a peaceful way so that humans can live better.
"I can agree to interact on an equal basis, but not with the Asahi Base as the leader." Lin Su said.
It is not possible to ask him to obey orders and be controlled by others. He has his own development goals. As long as he is there, there will be no possibility of a large-scale zombie attack at the Pojun base.
"We are prepared for your rejection this time, but I hope you can think about it carefully again," said Ruan Zehua.
