Meanwhile, the laws governing the base were gradually being formulated and communicated to everyone through posted notices.
These actions further enhanced Fang Zhiyi's reputation.
Fang Zhiyi did not refuse the names of the base suggested by the residents: "Hope Base... that's not bad."
He was quite satisfied. With the supplies in Bai Haomin's space, they could hold out until the first harvest. Not long ago, he personally led a team to snatch several technicians back from another group. If the spiritual spring could generate a larger flow of water, the power supply might be restored soon. Although it would be a temporary supply, it would still allow them to do many things.
There were no other voices in the base. People who were teachers before the apocalypse were now working as teachers in the base, teaching the children basic knowledge. Doctors had clinics and even some basic equipment. Fang Zhiyi promised to bring them more resources. There were also craftsmen, technicians, and so on. However, to Fang Zhiyi's surprise, the people who liked farming were the most numerous.
As more people joined, Fang Zhiyi chose to expand time and time again, and the bandit gangs roaming around the area also encountered unprecedented pressure. Hope Base's guard team not only had a large number of people and complete weapons, but also had a terrifying intelligence gathering ability, and they were driven to run around everywhere.
In just two and a half years, no other forces existed in the entire area centered on the base.
Hopefully, the expansion of the base continues, with other branch bases being established. The headquarters provides support in various aspects to ensure that the branch bases can better receive other survivors.
But the next piece of news caused an uproar.
The military's Northern Shelter came to negotiate, wanting to merge with Fang Zhiyi's Hope Base in preparation for the subsequent human reconstruction plan. Fang Zhiyi actually agreed without hesitation?
This caught everyone at Hope Base off guard. No, such a huge foundation, just given away like that?
The protests, which had not been held for many years, have started again, this time with more people than before. They are protesting to ensure that Fang Zhiyi continues to manage the Hope Base.
"This... Brother Fang, you see, I told you it wasn't appropriate, right?" A young man awkwardly rubbed his hands. Behind him, several soldiers stood ramrod straight, their eyes fixed straight ahead. Gu Ran was also a little puzzled. He had only come on behalf of the old man to discuss cooperation with Hope Base. After all, he had heard that Hope Base actually had a water source and wanted to see if they could exchange it. But as soon as he arrived, the base commander in front of him said he would give it to them, even the base itself?
No, does this person not like power?
Fang Zhiyi waved her hand dismissively: "Forget it, if you're capable, take it. Don't pass the buck. I know you, young man, you did a good job. I'll leave it to you from now on."
"You...when did you pack this?" Gu Ran was confused again. Fang Zhiyi pulled a bundle out from under the bed and carried it on her back, looking like she was ready to run at any moment. Could there be something wrong with this base?
"Alright, alright, I'm not playing with you guys anymore. Every day, the moment I open my eyes, I have to think about the food, drink, and daily needs of so many people. Do you think it's easy? Today, the Wang family's vegetables were stolen, and they come to you complaining. Tomorrow, the Li family's kid got beaten up, and they come to you complaining. I'm not a professional, after all. Although we have laws here, they're very rudimentary, and there aren't that many law enforcement agencies or anything. So it's best if you guys can take over. That's all!"
Gu Ran watched helplessly as he jumped out of the window.
"This is the second floor..." He ran to the window in surprise and watched Fang Zhiyi, carrying that somewhat ridiculous bundle, disappear into the woods in a flash.
