Everyone looked at her.
He Jiajia said, "Previously, there were too few people in our base, so I temporarily took charge of the management. But now there are more and more survivors, and many management problems have begun to emerge. In order for our base to exist for a long time, I have decided to elect Yang Shize as the leader of the base so that he can lead us to continue."
Yang Shize was taken aback and looked at He Jiajia.
Clearly, He Jiajia did not discuss this decision with him beforehand.
He Jiajia asked everyone, "Does anyone have any opinions on this?"
"no comment!"
"I'm convinced that Brother Yang is our leader."
"Our base needs a leader to take charge a long time ago; it's in complete chaos."
"..."
In the end, everyone agreed to make Yang Shize the leader of the base. Only He Yang was somewhat unwilling, but since his sister had taken the lead in supporting Yang Shize, his opposition could not cause any trouble.
Actually, during this period, He Jiajia didn't handle anything, and everyone consulted Yang Shize to handle many matters, big and small, at the base.
Yang Shize was already the de facto leader of the base, and with his advancement to the fourth rank, his prestige among the base members far surpassed that of He Jiajia. Many newly joined survivors only knew Yang Shize and not He Jiajia.
He Jiajia clearly noticed this as well.
She wasn't good at management or fighting, nor was she power-hungry; she was forced into becoming the leader because she had no other choice.
She had seen everything Yang Shize had done these past few days; this man was born to be a leader.
Most importantly, she knew that Yang Shize had risked his life to return to Mingzhu City to seek medical treatment in order to save Zhang Yun.
Such a kind and righteous person is guaranteed to be of good character, and with his great abilities, it is the popular choice to make him the leader of the base.
Yang Shize was slightly taken aback, but then accepted the arrangement.
He didn't immediately make any grand gestures as a new official, because the most pressing matter was dealing with the newly arrived zombie leader in the vicinity.
Tomorrow we're going to eliminate the zombie leader, and Yang Shize will naturally lead the team. This is one of the reasons why everyone in the base respects him.
As the leader, he could have stayed in the safe rear, but he always stood in the most dangerous position to protect them from the wind and rain. And he is really strong!
Zhang Yun was about to raise his hand when he was pressed down.
"You stay at the base," Yang Shize said directly.
Zhang Yun knew that he was still scared by his previous injury. Considering that Yang Shize's strength was now far greater than before, and that his enemies were all fourth and fifth-tier zombies, he, a first-tier spatial ability user with little offensive power, would not be of any help. So he did not continue to try.
After the meeting, He Jiajia stopped Zhang Yun and asked him to come to the laboratory with her.
When Zhang Yun first woke up, He Jiajia had asked him to do her a small favor, so he didn't refuse.
Yang Shize, still worried, followed him to He Jiajia's laboratory.
“When I performed the surgery on you last time, I discovered that your cells could spontaneously fight the zombie virus, so I wanted to extract some of your blood for research,” He Jiajia said bluntly.
"sure!"
Zhang Yun nodded, but in his heart he thought, "My blood is nowhere near as potent as yours."
He Jiajia took out the blood-drawing equipment, and Zhang Yun rolled up her sleeves so that she could draw blood.
After only five small tubes, Yang Shize frowned. "Is that enough?"
"It's alright, I have a super strong recovery ability, this little bit of blood is nothing," Zhang Yun said.
"Almost done, three more tubes." He Jiajia was also speechless. It's just a matter of borrowing some blood, and he's a second-tier recovery power evolver, yet they can't even bear to part with this.
Soon the remaining three small test tubes were filled with blood, and He Jiajia removed the needle.
In less than a second, the needle marks on Zhang Yun's wrist disappeared.
He Jiajia frowned as she held the alcohol-soaked cotton swab. "Sigh, I was a step too slow."
"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now?"
Zhang Yun smiled and lowered his sleeve.
"Yes, thank you so much!" He Jiajia said with a smile.
Zhang Yun thought to herself once again how beautiful she really was, and even more beautiful when she smiled.
They returned to the hotel where they were staying with Yang Shize.
After taking out some food from his spatial storage and finishing lunch, Yang Shize went out to arrange manpower.
Zhang Yun took out paper and pen and organized some key events and important figures from the original work.
According to the original work, there are three ways to help Yang Shize quickly accumulate good fortune—
First, to clear out the zombies that haven't yet evolved into the huge threat they will become in the future; second, to find human warriors who will become powerful in the future, and take them in as underlings while they are currently weak, pitiful, and helpless; and third, to help Yang Shize improve his strength as quickly as possible.
Finally, even if Zhang Yun doesn't urge him, Yang Shize is already working hard. Now all that needs to be done is the first two points.
Of the eleven future super soldiers, apart from Yang Shize and another person named Ye Hui, the rest are not from Dongzhou and will not be considered for the time being.
Ye Hui was a military officer with a powerful family background before the apocalypse. Later, he became the leader of the capital base and also Yang Shize's mortal enemy.
He Jiajia died at his hands. This person is extremely selfish and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. We can completely rule out the possibility of him being a teammate.
However, besides him, there were actually quite a few talented individuals who evolved and awakened early in the apocalypse, but they were unlucky and failed to grow to the end, dying for one reason or another.
One of the college students, Qi Heng, was at another base in Mingzhu City.
Qi Heng did not undergo any evolution or awakening at the beginning of the apocalypse. As an ordinary person, he was in a very bad situation in that base.
Something must have happened later that spurred him to not only become an all-around evolver, but also awaken a fire-type ability second only to lightning. His ability was so powerful that it exploded to level three, allowing him to kill the leader of the base at the time and take control of it.
Judging from the beginning, Zhang Yun really suspected that this guy was the one with the protagonist's script.
Later, under Qi Heng's leadership, the base developed rapidly, and in just a few months, it had more than 40,000 people!
However, many times, fate really does play tricks on you.
Pearl City is a large city with a huge population. In the early stages, the number of zombies was extremely large. At this time, the number of people in the base increased dramatically, but the number of evolved people and superhumans could not keep up, so they could only become sitting ducks.
This base, which was among the top twenty in the Eastern Continent in the early days of the apocalypse, ultimately disappeared into the annals of history like countless other human bases, large and small.
Because the protagonist had no connection with that base, it was only later, when the protagonist accidentally entered the ruined underground base while escaping, that Yang Shize learned from a surviving diary that there had once been a base there, and the leader was an awakened dual-ability user named Qi Heng, who unfortunately died.
Zhang Yun felt that once the zombie horde problem was resolved, he could try to contact this person. Qi Heng was still an ordinary person, and if he could be brought over, it would be a huge profit!
Based on the information in the data, Zhang Yun roughly deduced the location of Qi Heng's base and drew a circle on the map.
After dinner, Zhang Yun returned to his room and immediately discussed with Yang Shize that once they had dealt with the leader of the zombie horde and sorted out the management issues of the base, they would go out and look for this person named Qi Heng.
Yang Shize agreed and then came over to hug him.
Because he was going to lead a team to find the new zombie leader's lair the next day, Zhang Yun firmly refused Yang Shize's request for sex.
The next morning, while Zhang Yun was still half asleep, he was ambushed by someone who got up early.
After Yang Shize set off in high spirits, Zhang Yun rested on the bed for a while before calming her breathing and getting out of bed to wash up.
As a result, Yang Shize and his group still hadn't returned by the agreed time on the afternoon of the third day.
Zhang Yun was a little worried and was about to go out to check when he saw the modified armored vehicle driven by the reconnaissance team appear on the way back to base.
Zhang Yun rushed forward and teleported into the carriage. Seeing Yang Shize's pale face and weakly leaning against the carriage wall, he asked anxiously, "What happened to him?"
His sudden appearance startled everyone, but they were relieved after recognizing him as their boss's man.
The team member sitting closest to Yang Shize moved aside to make room for Zhang Yun and excitedly said, "Brother Yun, you guessed right! A new Tier 4 zombie has indeed appeared nearby, with seven or eight thousand under its command. However, when we were scouting, a group of passing survivors attracted the zombie horde to come out in full force. Boss took the opportunity to lure away the zombie leader and killed it by himself."
The crowd recounted how Yang Shize cleverly arranged for them to divide the zombie horde, lured out a fourth-tier zombie, and then risked his life to kill it single-handedly.
As Zhang Yun sat down, Yang Shize leaned against him, resting his head on his lap and holding one of his hands.
Upon hearing the descriptions of the perilous situation, Zhang Yun's fingers naturally tightened, and she grasped his hand.
"I'm fine, I just overexerted myself," Yang Shize said weakly.
Although it was a close call, Zhang Yun still scolded him a little, "You were too impulsive. How could you be so reckless? If they hadn't returned in time, you would have been summoned back by the zombie leader's men before he died..."
He stopped abruptly, pursed his lips, and looked away.
Zhang Yun felt very cowardly right now, just like a mother nagging her son.
He paused, then tried to save face, "It's not that I want to nag you, it's just that Yiyi only has you as family. If something were to happen to you, she would be devastated..."
Looking at the slight blush on his fair cheeks, Yang Shize found his lover's insincere behavior extremely adorable.
If the current circumstances allowed, I would love to pin him to the ground and give his most honest little mouth a good interrogation.
Suppressing the turmoil in his mind, Yang Shize smiled faintly and said, "I know."
Zhang Yun looked down and met his burning gaze, which could incinerate a person. His heart fluttered, and his body almost went limp. He quickly looked away.
The passengers in the car were so overwhelmed by this unexpected display of affection that they all cried out "I can't take it anymore!" and jumped out of the car.
Anyway, we've arrived at the base.
Zhang Yun took Yang Shize to He Jiajia and asked her to help him check.
Once he was sure that the man was just overexerted, Zhang Yun felt relieved and took him back to his hotel room.
As soon as he entered the room, the weak young man, who was so weak just a second ago that he needed to lean on him to move, pressed him against the door panel that had just been closed and kissed him wildly.
"You...you're so weak you can't walk on your own, aren't you?" Zhang Yun gasped for breath and punched him on the shoulder.
Yang Shize whispered in his ear, "It's because you're weak, so you need to eat something good to replenish yourself. Can I eat something, brother?"
Zhang Yun blushed.
For some reason, every time Yang Shize called him "brother," his heart would race so fast he could hardly stand it.
It's as if the person in front of him is really a well-behaved younger brother who has been corrupted by him. Only by spoiling him, indulging him, and fulfilling all his demands can he feel at ease.
"Brother, can I have some?" Yang Shize's deep, sexy voice still seduced me.
Zhang Yun didn't answer his question. He simply reached out and pressed Yang Shize's head, stood on tiptoe, and silenced him with a kiss, preventing him from asking any more questions...
After a night's rest, Yang Shize not only fully recovered, but also successfully advanced to become a fifth-order evolver.
He had previously killed a level 4 zombie single-handedly, which boosted his reputation in the base. Now, he has advanced to level 5 and has become a well-deserved hero and idol in everyone's hearts.
Even He Yang, who was very dissatisfied with Yang Shize, gave up the struggle.
Yang Shize's position as leader is now undisputed.
In the apocalypse, the strong will be respected and revered.
The base was not yet large-scale, and He Jiajia, as the leader, was too casual and approachable. Everyone discussed everything, so the internal management of the base was completely chaotic.
As the number of survivors gradually increased, many people resorted to cheating and taking advantage of the chaos.
Now that Yang Shize has taken over as leader, he naturally won't continue to indulge them.
The first thing Yang Shize did upon returning was to appoint Zhang Yun as the base's chief executive officer, instructing him to manage the base according to the organizational structure of some powerful bases in the late post-apocalyptic period described in the "book."
Zhang Yun was an emperor for decades, and he had a mature base management system for the future as a reference. Managing a base of only a thousand people was a waste of his talents, like using nuclear weapons to kill chickens.
In just three days, he had arranged everything in the base in perfect order.
Each position has a clearly defined scope of responsibility, and rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished. Everyone performs their duties, and work efficiency has increased many times over compared to before.
This also prevents people from cheating, shirking responsibility, or committing crimes.
In addition, Zhang Yun had someone create a ranking of superpowered evolvers to foster healthy competition. He also promoted those who made great contributions to the base as heroes, which increased everyone's sense of belonging and collective honor, and enhanced the cohesion and unity of the entire base.
The base has now established a mercenary guild and is issuing zombie-clearing missions.
With a generous reward, brave men will surely come. People have changed their previous habit of hiding in the shadows and waiting for the zombie horde to come before defending and counterattacking. Even ordinary people dare to go out and clear out the level one and two zombies around the base to collect resources and exchange them for the supplies they want.
Anyway, the high-level zombies around have already been cleared out by Yang Shize's team. Even if it's a team of ordinary people, as long as they are careful enough, there will be no casualties.
Even Zhang Yun, in order to improve his superpowers, takes on missions every day to kill zombies.
However, Yang Shize disagreed with him teaming up with others, and always accompanied Zhang Yun on missions, bullying those first and second-tier zombies with him, showing no awareness of being a leader or the demeanor of a strong person!
After two months of effort, there are no more zombies scratching the protective netting outside the base; they've all been killed.
Furthermore, some ordinary people have evolved or awakened due to frequent battles, further enhancing the base's strength.
Zhang Yun's spatial ability also advanced to level four due to frequent use and Yang Shize's free provision of zombie crystal cores to help him improve.
Zhang Yun's maximum teleportation distance has now increased to 25 meters, and his storage space has also increased to 80 cubic meters.
In addition, he also gained the ability to change the position of objects within 100 meters of him.
As the zombies near the base were cleared out, the number of survivors coming to join them continued to increase, and the base's population had exceeded eight thousand.
Now that everything at the base is back on track, Zhang Yun, still concerned about recruiting Qi Heng, suggested to Yang Shize that they go find Qi Heng.
Zhang Yun originally intended for him to go alone.
He has a navigation system that tells him his approximate location, and he also has the incredible ability to teleport, making him practically invincible.
But Yang Shize firmly disagreed with letting him go alone, and also disagreed with anyone going with him...
He wanted to go with Zhang Yun himself!
That night, the two had several in-depth discussions about this issue in bed, which ultimately ended with Zhang Yun being defeated and having to back down.
