Jin Huaimin never expected that Min Hui and Song Ziming's actions would be so swift, simple, and brutal.
The next morning, Min Hui recruited some people he knew to form a patrol team, and then issued a notice to the entire base in the names of Jin Huaimin and Zhong Xun, announcing that they would be responsible for the security of the base from now on.
Meanwhile, the base survival guidelines, which were drafted overnight, were posted on streets and bulletin boards throughout the base, and people were sent to broadcast them through loudspeakers.
Jin Huaimin had just gotten up when he heard this devastating news. His vision blurred, and he almost fainted: "When did I authorize them to be responsible for the security patrols of the base? Didn't anyone stop them?"
The subordinate cautiously replied, "They said it was a decision made at yesterday's meeting."
"Decision my ass!" Jin Huaimin cursed.
"Should I go and have those notices taken down now, and then drive away all the visiting people?"
Jin Huaimin gritted his teeth and called out to the person, "Wait."
Then he took a deep breath: "Do you want Song Xia to come knocking on our door in person?"
The subordinates hesitated. What should they do?
"Who gave them the loudspeakers? And who printed those papers for them? Didn't I already tell them that if they want to do anything in the future, they should make things difficult for them as much as possible?"
The subordinates also felt wronged; they hadn't expected to be troubled by such trivial matters! And even if they tried to stop it, who knew if the radicals would provide assistance?
Kim Hwai-min had obviously thought of this as well, but he just said it offhand, which made him even angrier.
Moreover, he doesn't have any countermeasures yet. Should he just engage in direct conflict? Who can outmaneuver Song Xia, who is besieged by zombies?
“From now on, no matter what they want, just say you don’t have it. If you can’t refuse, just make them wait and drag things out.”
"yes."
"Then when they try to manage things, you send some people to cause trouble. Just make sure they don't find out that it was us who arranged it. The point is to make it impossible for them to carry out their work. If anyone doesn't cause trouble, tell them to think about their meals for the next day."
Jin Huaimin sneered. Anyone who wanted to seize power from him would have to think twice before deciding whether they had the ability.
If you obediently act as a henchman, he can provide you with good food and drink; but if you insist on doing things you shouldn't, then don't blame him for using underhanded methods.
These people are too naive. Do they think that having one person backing them up can change the entire base? Without resources, manpower, and weapons, it's all for nothing. He will show them what it means to be unable to move an inch.
However, Jin Huaimin probably never imagined that Song Ziming and his group would be even more ruthless than he thought. They deliberately bullied women and children in front of them? Sorry, they just threw them out of the base and let the zombies drag them away.
He stood on the city wall, and everyone was shocked by his domineering presence: "From now on, anyone who dares to disobey our patrol team will suffer the consequences."
The crowd was completely silent. Even if someone whispered incitement, no one dared to move. They could still distinguish between immediate death and the possibility of starvation.
Moreover, Song Ziqi and her group had anticipated this and were stirring things up behind the scenes. With so many people at the base, were they really going to withhold food until everyone starved to death? What would be the point of the base's existence then?
Besides, their patrol team wouldn't ignore this matter, would they? Since Jin Huaimin and others are deliberately making things difficult, then they should temporarily seek cooperation with Zhong Xun.
Song Xia, Lao Hei, and Song Ziyang took the three youngest children to the research institute. In front of Zhong Xun and Dr. Jia, Song Xia took out the crystal core of the level 5 zombie tiger, and Dr. Jia's eyes immediately went crazy.
"Want them? Sure, but teaching them is secondary. We also need your cooperation in our inspection tour."
Zhong Xun looked at them expressionlessly: "You think you can get me to agree to so many requests for just one crystal core? Aren't you getting a huge profit?"
“We don’t have any bad intentions, you can even call us stupid. It’s just that after we gained the ability, we couldn’t bear to see those people suffer undeservedly. Our ultimate goal is the same, isn’t it? You want to conquer the zombie virus and save all of humanity, and we just want to save the suffering people in front of us.”
“Every era has people who must be sacrificed. The experiments cannot be carried out with just the crystal cores you provide.”
Old Hei sighed. In fact, Zhong Xun was much more honest than Jin Huaimin, but his methods were ruthless and cruel. Jin Huaimin, on the other hand, was the real fake compassion. Although he protected the base, it was only for the sake of power.
"How will you know if you don't try? You can experiment on animals now, and then have volunteers sign up when the technology is mature. We have nothing to say about that. Zhong Xun, level 5 zombie crystal cores are not easy to obtain. You need to think it through. And if there is an opportunity later, we can try to get you some live zombies."
"Say yes." Dr. Jia's gaze never left the crystal core, then he looked intently at Song Xia. "Living zombies, living zombie animals, living mutated animals, I want them all."
Dr. Jia has always been the leader of the research institute, after all, he is the backbone of the institute. Without him, this series of research would be difficult to carry out, so when he speaks, Zhong Xun cannot refute him.
“Every month, you must provide us with a fixed number of zombies and mutated animals. I will handle the coordination with Jin Huaimin.”
"We can provide ordinary zombies and mutated animals in fixed quantities, but high-level mutated zombies and mutated animals can only be provided once every two months at most. After all, the number is too small, and it also takes time for Sister Song to go out and capture them, since there are none near the base."
Zhong Xun was unwilling, feeling that the number was too small, but he also knew that it would take time for Song Xia to travel back and forth by herself alone.
"That's quite a lot. Living, high-level mutated zombies not only have research value, but the crystal cores in their brains are also incomparable to ordinary resources. If we take them to another base, what kind of treatment do you think they would give us? Even if we don't go to any other base, we can rebuild a base on our own with them."
At this point in Song Ziyang's speech, Zhong Xun, urged by Dr. Jia, finally nodded.
He had no reason to refuse, because the latest research showed that the higher the level of the crystal core, the more likely it was to stimulate ordinary people to develop superpowers, and it could also improve the superpower level of superpowered individuals. If Song Xia and the others could not stay in the base, rebuilding one would not be difficult at all.
Old Hei shook hands on Song Xia's behalf: "You're not at a loss. Besides, we're not doing this for ourselves. We just foolishly want to make the rules in the base more standardized and want ordinary people to live better lives."
Zhong Xun remained expressionless: "It really was foolish. Kim Hwai-min made a mistake by choosing to make things difficult for you."
"There is no long-term benefit, only short-term control. In the long run, no one is a fool."
