The men in Captain Zhao's team nodded in agreement, all eager to get started and launch a big attack once they left the safe zone.
"By the way, I heard that the Xiangcheng base is going to resume education, and the children in our safe zone can all be sent to the Xiangcheng base to study."
One of my teammates is quite well-informed.
“I’ve been seeing Boss Huo Jing around our safe zone a lot these past few days. The news came from him.”
"What Huo Jing said is true, but what about restoring education in the apocalypse?"
Captain Zhao scoffed, "How many children in the apocalypse are still alive and have no missing limbs? What's the point of educating these cripples? It's all just for show."
If we're talking about which group of people are most harmed by this cruel world, it's undoubtedly children.
Children who are somewhat sensible have witnessed the cruelty of the apocalypse in the past two years, and their minds have long been warped. Who can still sit in the classroom and read and write properly?
The younger children were mostly lost in the catastrophe of the apocalypse.
It's because they are too ignorant; living in the apocalypse is a burden to their parents and relatives.
Don't their parents need to go out and fight monsters to earn crystal cores?
When they go out to fight monsters and earn crystal cores, the children are ignorant and cry, which can easily attract zombies or mutated beasts.
In this situation, do adults take their children and run away, only to die together in the zombie horde or the mutated beast horde?
Or will they abandon the child and run away?
After all, the children's cries could buy them some of the time from the encirclement and interception by the zombie and mutated beast horde.
So, there's no need to overthink human nature; everyone just needs to understand it.
The education programs that the Xiangcheng base is currently trying to implement are likely to have few survivors who can truly support them.
However, some teammates had different opinions on this.
"Captain, think about it. It's said that the management of the Xiangcheng base all have children."
"Not only do Hua Mi and Gong Yi have two children, but Qin Zhen also has a son. It is said that Zhou Cheng, who used to be Gong Yi's good brother, also has a pregnant wife."
Who is Zhou Cheng's wife?
Captain Zhao looked puzzled. He had heard of Zhou Cheng; he was currently mainly responsible for leading the garrison outside to attack mutated beasts and zombies.
Sometimes, even those of them in the safe zone could see Zhou Cheng.
"It's said to be one of Qin Zhen's secretaries. She worked for Hua Mi for a while before. What was her name again... I'm not quite sure. She's a ruthless character. She's pregnant, so the baby has to be born eventually."
"So the Xiangcheng base is now focusing on education, specifically for the children of this group of management personnel."
Captain Zhao nodded. "So what? What does this have to do with us? We're doing quite well in the safe zone right now."
The team member looked at him with a disappointed expression. "Exactly, think about it. If people in our team send their children to the school they run, then our team's children will become classmates with Gong Yi and Hua Misheng's children, right?"
"We can't look at the present, we have to look at the future. We can't stay in this safe zone forever, right? We have to go out and climb higher step by step."
“Right now we can’t see Hua Mi and Gong Yi, and we can’t get in touch with them, but if our child becomes classmates with their child, and coincidentally our child has a particularly good relationship with the children of the management at the Xiangcheng base, wouldn’t everything be different?”
The teammate who was speaking winked at Captain Zhao.
Captain Zhao instantly understood, and he clapped his hands.
"That's right, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cubs. You should hurry up and find out how many kids are in our team and send them all to the school run by the Xiangcheng base. Have them get along well with those kids in the Xiangcheng management."
The teammate immediately nodded and turned to leave.
The issues that Captain Zhao and his team had considered were also lingering in Qu Shiheng's mind.
Qu Shiheng, who was waiting for his teammates to be released, carefully inquired about the Xiangcheng management's plan to reopen the education system.
His teammates scoffed at this, saying, "They're just doing all this fancy stuff; they're probably just trying to squeeze some crystals out of the survivors."
Qu Shiheng listened attentively and inquired in detail about all the relevant matters concerning the reopening of education at the Xiangcheng base.
Qu Shiheng's expression was cold, and he said with a hint of sarcasm,
"Do you have any way to get me into the Xiangcheng base and into this education system?"
His teammates exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward.
“Captain, it might be a bit difficult to infiltrate the education system directly, but since the Xiangcheng base is going to reopen education, it’s not a monolithic entity.”
The teammate said in a fawning tone, "Captain, I recently reconnected with an ex-girlfriend. According to her, she passed the exam to become a dance teacher in this education system and was recently selected. She might be going to mentor Hua Xiu Ning."
Who is Hua Xiu Ning?
"It's Gong Yi and Hua Mi's daughter."
Upon hearing this, Qu Shiheng's expression revealed a deep calculation.
"You should maintain a good relationship with your ex-girlfriend; we might need her someday."
After the upheavals in City E, Qu Shiheng's thinking has become much more profound.
He can't beat Hua Mi and Gong Yi right now, but he has plenty of time. As long as he endures this hardship and bides his time, he will eventually find an opportunity to take everything away from Hua Mi and Gong Yi.
Qu Shiheng was ambitious. He mobilized the superhumans under his command, built up a wide network of connections, and worked hard to establish himself in this large safe zone.
Yang Honglin wrote down the daily commotions within this large safe zone in his work log.
Every week he would write a weekly summary and submit it to Gong Yi...
Hua Mi, holding the hands of her two children, led her toddler brother and sister into the living room, where she saw Gong Yi holding Yang Honglin's weekly summary.
Gong Yi frowned. As soon as his younger sister saw her father, she giggled, let go of Hua Mi's fingers, opened her chubby, short arms, and pounced on her father.
On the other hand, Boss Gong seemed much more composed. He steadily held Hua Mi's finger, making sure that each step was firm and secure.
Hua Mi sighed and watched as her younger sister stumbled and was about to fall flat on her face.
Just as the younger sister was about to fall, her little fleshy body floated up and flew all the way to Gong Yi's arms.
Hua Xiu Ning laughed even more joyfully, and even did a somersault in the air.
