After one hundred couples left, it was soon the turn of the first group of 20,000 people.
Not everyone will be deported. Exceptions include those who are within three weeks of their due date and may give birth at any time. If you ask them to sit on a plane for several hours, it would be bad if something happened, right? Similarly, the deadline will be appropriately relaxed for pregnant women with unstable fetuses or in poor condition. The remaining cases are newborns within three weeks and their mothers, who will be allowed to leave after the child is three weeks old.
But for those who are not covered by this regulation but still insist on staying, sorry, we can only contact their base to enforce the policy. Of course, Lin Man welcomes those who are willing to join the Peace Base and can handle all matters themselves and move their household registration here clearly. Of course, an audit observation period is also inevitable.
Finally, there were about 5% of couples who had lived there for a whole year but still hadn't conceived. This gave Lin Man a headache, so a few months before the first anniversary, he gave them comprehensive physical examinations, gave them food with the richest spiritual energy, and let them live in a place with the richest spiritual energy. This did have some effect, but in the end, there was still a small number of people who never had any good news.
Lin Man was at his wit's end. He was fine physically, and had no problem eating and drinking. Was a year too short a time? He couldn't stand the miserable, dark aura and pitiful eyes of the little guy, so after their repeated requests, he agreed to extend their stay.
The Tuanyuan base will be extended for one year, the Nanming base will also be extended for one year, and the other bases will be extended for half a year.
When this decision was made, the other bases were unhappy, and Lin Man immediately retorted with a shrug. Furthermore, the second batch of accommodation quotas was also 20,000 people. Unlike the first batch, this time the quota was split equally among the five bases, meaning each base could accommodate 4,000 people, regardless of gender.
But these four thousand people were not enough, so Lin Man reached a separate agreement with the Tuanyuan Base and the Nanming Base, and approved their "special personnel applications" - they were about to reach the age where it would be too late if they didn't have children, their only child at home was sick and would not live long, so they had to hurry up to have a child, and they had made many contributions to human survival and deserved to be given a back door.
Then these two bases will have an additional 5,000 places each year.
The other three bases were very angry when they found out and accused the Peace Base of discriminatory treatment. The spokesperson of the Peace Base apologized to them and said that because the Reunion Base and the Peace Base had a close relationship, and the Nanming Base and the Peace Base were close in distance, they had applied again and again, given a lot of gifts, and said a lot of nice things, so their leader softened his heart and agreed.
Third Base: Okay, we need to make this application here as well.
Peace Base: Sorry, the Peace Base can only accommodate 5,000 people a year, which is the limit. No more.
Third Base: ...
Third Base: Then we’ll schedule it for next year.
Peace Base: Sorry, Reunion Base and Southern Base have been scheduled for ten years later.
The third base also figured out what was going on. They were deliberately not letting them play, and they blocked them with a sentence, "Who told you to speak late?", which made them very angry.
It was only at this time that they understood. No wonder the father and daughter surnamed Lin did not make any movement during the infected incident. Their feelings were waiting here.
Yes, Lin Man did it on purpose. She despised the three bases' treatment of the infected as a burden. She wasn't particularly compassionate, but if something happened to the people at the Peace Base, she would absolutely defend them to the end. A base that couldn't protect its own people, but instead was quick to abandon them after something happened, was either incompetent or heartless, and she despised either.
Not to mention they also plotted against her dad.
The Third Base rioted for a long time, but ultimately was unable to do anything about Lin Man and Peace Base. And so, amidst the hustle and bustle, the first group of tenants left, the second arrived, and the new wave of tenants replaced the old. Peace Base once again received a large amount of tenant fees, and Peace Base became bustling again, with cleaning, moving, and getting to know new neighbors, making it a busy place.
Lin Man is considering expanding the base.
There are nearly 40,000 official members of the Peace Base, including more than 1,000 newborns and 30,000 temporary residents, totaling 70,000. With the current area of the base, there is enough space for them to live, but it is rather crowded. The living area of each person is limited, and the quality of life is not very high.
Lin Man had accumulated a batch of jade beads, which was enough to create a larger soul-locking formation. She included the vast wasteland at the foot of Dayan Mountain and even the area of the town, and started construction again with great vigor.
There were not enough people, mainly because everyone had their own jobs and there were not enough free staff, so the Nanming base quickly pulled a large number of people over to help for free.
The people at the Peace Base were very suspicious that they were here to get free meals. They said they were helping for free, but since they were already here to do the hard labor, how could they not provide food and accommodation?
If you get free food and lodging at the Peace Base, you’ll have to pay for it!
So treacherous!
Even more treacherous was that the people who came to help were almost equally divided between men and women. It was hard to tell what their intentions were. They were definitely trying to have a child secretly!
Having a baby secretly... Lin Man was speechless after hearing this, but since they had this intention, she didn't expose it. She also set up a soul-locking array in the residences of these free workers. She didn't care whether these people came to take advantage of the spiritual energy to have a baby secretly, but she made it clear to Nanming that if anyone of these people violated the taboos of the Peace Base, he would be taken back together, and the number of temporary accommodation quotas open to the Nanming base would be cut in half in the future.
The so-called taboos mainly refer to forcing women to be used as reproductive machines, and one man having several women, which she feels are very immoral.
She had considered setting up soul-locking formations in other bases as she gained more jade beads, to prevent everyone from flocking to her. However, she worried that if the environment in other bases became like the Heping base, it would be easy for many unpleasant things to happen. For example, treating women as commodities, having them bear children for one man one year and for another the next. With an imbalanced gender ratio, this kind of situation was entirely possible.
If the woman is willing - after all, as the mother of blood, no one will treat her unfairly. Not to mention good food and drink, the remuneration should not be small. Maybe many people hope to get rich from this - then she has nothing to say, but if she is forced, or even if it becomes human trafficking, then it is too disgusting.
It is also very likely that some reproductive cancers will rely on their power and status to keep dozens of women at once to give birth to their children.
In addition, there are many bad situations that Lin Man can foresee and cannot foresee. She does not intend to be so involved, but she definitely does not want to be the source of evil, so after thinking about it, she decided to expand the Peace Base and accommodate more people next year, so that the Peace Base will become the only blessed place.
Of course, it is hard to say whether people who have lived in the peace base can still maintain their fertility after leaving.
In the midst of the busyness, winter came again, and then the new year came. The infected people started to move, and at the end of January when the wind was cold, they followed Lin Zhongrong and set off again to the distant country M to receive a second "treatment".
This time, everyone setting off was equipped with supernatural guns, upgraded versions, and supernatural shells were also used on fighter planes.
One month, Lin Man and Lin Cheng went to the raw stone mining site and discovered a jade mine. Then she no longer had to worry about not having enough jade materials.
Amid the worries of Lin Man and many others, they soon returned safely. This meant that the infected people had another year of life. The base celebrated this and slaughtered several pigs, opened sorghum wine, and served all kinds of delicious food on the table a few days later to celebrate with great enthusiasm.
Later, a celebration was held on this day every year, which was called Carnival or New Year's Day. This day was February 9th, which was also Lin Man's birthday. Lin Zhongrong deliberately chose this day to celebrate.
It was bustling outside. Inside, people she knew were celebrating Lin Man's nineteenth birthday. It was also lively for quite a while, and the atmosphere was good inside and outside. Lin Man was toasted with several glasses of wine. When she went out to look for her parents, they seemed to have gone to the observation deck to chat and enjoy the breeze. Maybe they were reminiscing about the good old days?
She didn't act as a third wheel. In the past year, she didn't understand what was going on between the two of them. As long as they didn't fight or quarrel, it was fine. She said goodbye to the others, took a bottle of wine and some food, returned to the house in the valley, and then entered the space.
Suddenly the noise faded away completely, and Lin Man was instantly surrounded by warmth and light. Looking up, he saw Lin Cheng picking mulberries from the mulberry tree.
He looked down from among the lush green branches, his features handsome and slender, and said with a smile, "Here I am."
Today is a lot later than usual, after all, it's already late outside.
Lin Man put down a pile of things, picked up a bottle of wine, and climbed up the tree. Lin Cheng stretched out his hand to her, and she handed it over and held Lin Cheng's hand, which was wrapped with a layer of supernatural power. It was cold, dry, and very hard, like holding steel.
At first, Lin Cheng didn't let Lin Man touch him, but later they spent more time together and went to some places together. They were together day and night during those days outside, and Lin Man didn't take his terrible appearance seriously. She even liked to touch his muscles and bones out of curiosity. Lin Cheng let go and was no longer averse to letting her touch him.
Lin Man sat on a branch. The mulberry tree was so tall and large in the space, it could easily support two people sitting on it. She shook the bottle of wine towards Lin Cheng: "Want some? Sorghum wine, quite strong."
Lin Cheng couldn't eat normal food; his body could only tolerate raw food and flesh. To maintain normal human behavior, he forced himself to drink a certain amount of water and eat some cooked food daily. As for raw food, he only allowed himself one or two chickens or a dozen pounds of raw meat a day. After a year, he'd become quite comfortable with cooked food, but he hadn't tried alcohol.
Before he could say anything, Lin Man said, "Forget it. Don't let yourself get drunk. Just accompany me and smell it, and we'll just drink it."
Lin Man opened the bottle and leaned over to let him smell it. Lin Cheng lowered his head and relaxed his senses, but he didn't smell any alcohol. What instantly came over and filled his senses was the scent coming from the girl beside him, that sweet scent that represented delicious food and stimulated his brain all the time, making him use all his restraint to appear nonchalant.
So when he leaned over to smell the bottle, all he could smell was the scent of the hand holding it. He even wanted to bite the back of that white hand, the fingers. Well, he couldn't bite, but a kiss would be nice too.
Lin Cheng's eyes darkened slightly, and he sighed inwardly. He used his supernatural powers to close off his senses again, shutting out the source of enjoyment and contemplation. He shook his head: "This alcohol content is quite high, you should drink less."
Lin Man said, "I'll try it today, but it's actually not very tasty." Lin Man put the lid back on, held it up with his mental power and placed it on the ground. He picked a black mulberry and put it in his mouth. It was sour and sweet, and very delicious.
She picked them up nimbly and put them gently into Lin Cheng's basket. She used her mental power to harvest the mulberries on the high tree. Soon, she had picked all the ripe mulberries on the tree, filling the basket.
Lin Man said, "Let's squeeze the juice out of these and add it to the cake." Then she looked at the mulberry leaves on the tree and felt worried. She said to Lin Cheng, "Let's go find some silkworms."
The last time she said something like that, they quickly ran to the beach.
Lin Cheng said, "Okay." He also liked going out with her, just them.
