Jin Huaimin and his group quickly learned that Song Xia and his group had designated a specific area. Unusually, Jin Huaimin did not directly stop them, but this deterred many people from going there.
Because the announcement stated that this area was not within the base's planning scope, the base would not be responsible for safety or food. Anyone who wanted to go there would be removed from the base.
Although they can't get enough to eat and life isn't ideal in the base right now, at least they can barely survive. They don't dare gamble on the unknown possibility of being expelled from the base.
However, there was also a group of bold people, especially those who had been bullied too badly in the base before, and who only regained some dignity after Min Hui and his group started patrolling the base. This group of people joined the construction without hesitation.
Moreover, most of them were women who thought that even if they died, it would be worth it, since they had been given a second chance at life.
No one expected that after arriving in the new area, they would not only have new and comfortable accommodations, but also eat just as well as they did at the base.
Several women held their bowls of rice and burst into tears, chewing each grain carefully as if savoring some delicacy.
Some shoveled the food into their mouths as if afraid someone would snatch it away, until they realized that the surroundings were quiet and that this place was different from the one next door.
They looked at each other, then laughed and cried, finally realizing that they had come to the right place.
"Our new district is just starting out, and there are still many things that are lacking, but I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely create a better future." Song Ziqi stood on a chair and encouraged everyone, "We promise that as long as you don't do bad things and as long as you work hard, you will never go hungry in the future."
"Thanks!"
Thank you!
Some women even knelt down and kowtowed, after all, it was tantamount to giving them a second life.
The other superhumans who were eating with them were also deeply moved. To be honest, after gaining superpowers, they all had some degree of feelings of superiority. But seeing their genuine gratitude, they suddenly understood the saying, "With great power comes great responsibility."
The world has undergone a dramatic change; surely the power that God bestowed upon them, which surpasses that of ordinary people, was not meant for them to lord it over others.
"Get up, everyone. We don't follow this system. From now on, we are all people of the new district, and we will all work together to build the future of the new district."
The applause continued for a long time. Song Ziqi nervously returned to her seat, and Lao Hei and the others gave her encouraging looks.
With Song Xia in charge, no zombies attacked, so Song Ziming and his team split into several groups to search for supplies. They have also made contact with other bases and can exchange some crystal cores for supplies.
As construction progressed, more and more people in the White Tiger Base joined the new area after discovering that the people in the new district had not starved to death.
Jin Huaimin tried various methods to stop it, even saying that those who went out were not allowed to take anything with them, but it was no use.
Of course, Song Xia and his team didn't accept just anyone. They didn't want anyone who had committed numerous heinous acts at the White Tiger Base, nor did they want anyone who was dishonest or cunning.
What made Jin Huaimin even more regretful was what happened next: after the weather warmed up, many of the people who joined the new district actually developed supernatural abilities.
"Third sister, do you think I have a wood-type ability? I can make seeds sprout."
"Really? Ah Fen, you've really made something of yourself!"
Ah Fen wiped away her tears: "Finally, I can also contribute to the new district."
"I can control water! I have water-based powers!"
Everyone went to watch the woman again. Although her superpowers weren't strong, it was a good start, wasn't it?
The continuous news of people developing superpowers caught the attention of Song Ziming and his team. After conducting a survey, they discovered that one in ten people would activate their superpowers! This was a much higher probability than before!
The newly recruited scientist was extremely excited: "Is it because the weather is getting better, or what? It would be best to find out the pattern."
The woman with the wood-type ability pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's also related to the fact that I've been eating well lately and my mood has improved."
"That's what I think too."
"Whether these two factors exist or not, we'll find out by investigating at the White Tiger Base. I believe Zhong Xun and Dr. Jia will be very interested."
Seeing that more and more people in the new district had superpowers, Song Ziqi and Song Ziyang were happy but also a little disappointed. They felt that they had always been happy and eating well, so why hadn't they developed superpowers?
That night, neither of them slept well. Song Ziyang felt as if he was floating in the air, as if he was about to fall at any moment.
He impatiently rolled over, then suddenly sensed something was wrong. He slowly opened his eyes and, upon finding himself floating in the air, screamed in terror.
After moving to the new district, Song Ziqi, whose room was next to his, felt something rubbing against her face. Song Ziyang's shout woke her up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a small, tender seedling jumping around on her pillow.
Song Ziqi blinked and muttered to herself, "I got too excited, am I hallucinating? Can plants move?"
She closed her eyes again, and only when the little plant fanned her cheek with its leaves did she finally realize that the plant was conscious!
Where did you come from?
"What's wrong?" Hearing Song Ziyang's shout, Song Xia and the others all woke up and rushed over to them.
"I can fly!" Song Ziyang's excited voice echoed throughout the house. "Look, I have superpowers too!"
Hearing the noise, Song Ziqi abandoned the little seedling and went straight out the door, only to see Song Ziyang flying around the living room as if he had wings.
"What kind of superpower is this?"
"I heard that after the apocalypse, some people abroad grew white or black wings. Ziyang, you don't have any wings either!"
"You can't see it, but I can feel it. These wings are transparent." Song Ziyang's voice was filled with excitement. Although he had already let go of the fact that he was missing an arm, now that he had a pair of wings that could fly, he could say that he had no regrets at all.
After flying around twice, he complained that the room was too small, so he rushed out the door: "I'm going out to see how high I can fly."
Song Ziqi watched with satisfaction, then felt a movement in her calf. Looking down, she found that the little sprout had emerged, seemingly dissatisfied with being ignored, and pulled harder than before.
Song Ziqing looked over curiously: "Second sister, what is this?"
Everyone looked down at her feet as she spoke. Song Ziqi shrugged: "I don't know either. It was right next to my pillow when I woke up."
"This plant can move!"
Song Ziming and Song Xia examined it closely. The more they looked at it, the more familiar the little seedling seemed. Wasn't this the one they had seen when they dragged back the giant zombie? Even if a plant had developed consciousness, how did it manage to travel so far to the new district?
