Several months have passed, and the search for fellow countrymen has finally yielded results.
Soon, a wave of submarines from the Kyoto base will return.
As we approached the base, the seabed gradually rose, and the ocean currents were less complex than in other sea areas.
Sonar detection indicated that the seabed was only about 200 meters deep, unlike their previous crossings of 9,000 meters.
When that batch of submarines arrived near the Huaxia base, the survivors opened the top cover and surfaced to continue their journey.
Because each submarine cabin, including the capsule apartment units, is equipped with a signal receiver, they are the easiest to find.
As long as the searchers send out a signal, their compatriots nearby will be able to receive it, but the survivors in other bases in China are not so lucky.
At this time, many foreigners had gathered around the Huaxia base. They lived in various watercraft and looked at the Huaxia base with envy every day, but they were not qualified to go in.
Many countries have fallen apart, and those that haven't have become capitalist groups that don't care about the lives of ordinary survivors.
The survivors in the submarine cabin gazed at the China base from afar. Although it was not yet fully formed, it was already taking shape.
Even when faced with natural disasters and apocalyptic events, a nation may be scarred, but it will never fall.
"My God, they really have a new home! They have a home again!"
"This is the Huaxia Base, our home."
"Oh my god! We have a home again."
Survivors screamed.
At that moment, a J-series fighter jet flew overhead.
The survivors in the submarine cabin jumped up in excitement.
"Fighter jets, our country's fighter jets!"
The J-series fighter jets circled twice in the sky before swooping up and leaving.
At the entrance, the Chinese survivors, amidst the envious gazes of the foreigners, passed through the entrance, had their identities verified one by one, and entered the Chinese base area.
After landing, a second identity verification, health check, and labor force assessment classification will be conducted.
Of course, among the Chinese, those who do not pass the test will be refused entry to the base.
The first category is those who have eaten humans.
Eating human flesh is addictive; they look at people with a green glint in their eyes. Strictly speaking, these people can no longer be called human.
The second category consists of those who contracted the virus by eating marine animals.
Not only is it incurable, it can also be transmitted to others.
The second category consists of those with mental health issues.
Not only do they lack the ability to work, they also harm others.
When Bai Shuang heard that some submarine cabins had returned, she took their room numbers and personally compared them.
But Bai Shuang was still disappointed. Apart from two doctors from the Bai family, she was not familiar with the others.
But it also added a lot of labor to the base.
Bai Shuang summoned Mr. Hong and said, "You have always performed well. Today, I am promoting you to Minister of Agriculture. As the number of people increases, you will be in charge of planting."
"Thank you, Commander Xie!"
Mr. Hong said excitedly.
After such a long period of effort, he finally gained the trust of the base commander.
"No need to thank me, just do your job well. The base will not let down anyone who works hard."
Agriculture is very important. You've been a leader before, so you know that without me having to tell you.
Yes, yes, agriculture is the foundation of all development.
"Base Commander, I'd like to ask, should we assign the new recruits to positions immediately?"
Bai Shuang: "No, you arrange for someone to recruit workers from them, whether they do it or not is up to them."
"No work, no food, no points. Our base doesn't support idlers."
Newcomers to the base will receive three days of free meals; after that, they will be responsible for their own expenses.
"I see."
There are too few ordinary survivors at present, and they only do some routine maintenance work. Most of the farm work is done by soldiers.
There were about sixty or seventy people in total. They were originally from the Kyoto base. Apart from those living in capsule apartments or renting from the base, most of them had their own houses and some supplies.
Compared to those from other places, their conditions are relatively good.
But two years have passed since the storm, and the house is only so big. No matter how much supplies are stored, there are very few left. Besides, stagnant water is hard to scoop up.
After Mr. Hong left, Bai Jiu asked, "Miss, you gave him such an important position. What will happen when our people come back?"
Bai Shuang never expected that this kid had such thoughts.
"Don't worry, everything is in need of rebuilding now, there are plenty of opportunities."
Besides, now that we're in these positions, we must consider the base's best interests at all costs and appoint people based on merit.
Mr. Hong arrived early, and now that we need manpower, he naturally has the upper hand.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, another group of people returned. Among them, Bai Shuang still did not see her relatives, but the presence of scientists from the Kyoto base, such as Pao Pao, was an unexpected surprise.
Bai Shuang and Lu Yu went to see them in person. Before the storm, Elder Lu had provided these national treasure-level scientists with a lot of supplies.
They also arranged for soldiers to protect them.
Therefore, they are in good physical and mental condition.
Bai Jiu shouted from afar, "Pao Pao, it's great, you're not dead."
Academician Wang glared at him. "You brat, are you looking for a beating?"
Bai Shuang brought them some food and supplies.
"This is exactly the time when we need you. Take a few days to rest and get ready to go back to work."
Old Man Cannon: "No need to rest, I can start work tomorrow."
Bai Shuang: "I've kept every single rice seed. Now you can go back to your old profession."
The old man immediately became excited, "Really? Give it to me quickly."
Bai Shuang: "Don't rush, we absolutely need to rest today."
Another scientist said, "With Boss Bai and General Lu in charge, we old folks should support them even more."
