Chapter 376
In the end times, Hope Base became the safest base for survivors and a place many people yearned for. Hope Base also expanded again and again, from a population of one million to several million.
This puts pressure on other bases, especially those close to Hope Base. If everyone runs away, won't the leaders of these bases be left alone? Even if some high-ranking officials look down on the warriors and ordinary people at the bottom, they know that they are the cornerstone of a base.
Therefore, in order to retain the population, these people had to change the strategy of the base and increase the treatment of the lower-class people instead of exploiting them blindly. The psychics and high-end warriors were no longer high and mighty, and strived to show a people-friendly side.
They privately blamed the Hope Base for creating such a bad atmosphere. It's the end of the world, and whoever has the bigger fist has the higher status. Ordinary people at the bottom of society still have to rely on their protection to survive, but the Hope Base insisted on making special arrangements so that they were forced to improve the treatment of the people at the bottom.
Even though they felt nauseous inside, they still had to put on a smile and be enthusiastic when they met the top leaders of Hope Base. There was no other way, because they needed the medicines in Hope Base, and they also hoped that they would not have the ambition to annex their base.
These people are really worrying too much. Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing are now quite satisfied with their stay in the Hope Base. They are happy to be the masters of this piece of land. Their ambitions are not that big. Moreover, they can see the future. The current life is much better than the original world line. The end of the world will always end one day. In the future, there will only be a unified government on the land of China, instead of the scene of many heroes in the end of the world.
At present, the official government of the imperial capital is not doing too badly and can take care of the middle and lower class people, so the two will not be so desperate as to go against the imperial capital. When the end of the world is over, it is only a matter of time before the central government of the imperial capital takes back power.
Therefore, the two of them only need to take care of their own three acres of land now. Of course, they will not turn away those who come to seek refuge. Anyway, the ones who work hard are also the other management members besides them. The two of them have already made a high-profile appearance, and no one would be desperate to snatch the power from them, so they delegated more power, and they really played a deterrent role.
In the field of scientific research, the Hope Base still focuses on pharmacists. With pharmacists as the only means, the Hope Base can make a lot of money and has also attracted many relevant talents to join it. The research team continues to expand, and several products have been launched without Yuan Jing's leadership, which have received a lot of praise.
As for other technologies and materials, they can be exchanged with other bases and the Imperial Capital Base for medicines. I believe they will be very happy to do so.
Under such circumstances, Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang could leave the base from time to time and go out for a walk. They hoped that nothing major would go wrong in the base and that it would develop stably. With their departure and return, the number of exotic plants in the base's exotic plant garden continued to increase.
In the fifth year, under the leadership of Yuan Jing, the Hope Base learned from the Dracaena fragrans' filtering effect on the zombie virus and finally developed a purification agent that can be used to purify the soil and water sources. Once this agent was launched, it caused a sensation in various bases because it allowed humans to see the dawn of the apocalypse and that humans could return to the situation before the apocalypse.
Although soilless cultivation has made great progress, food is still very tight to feed such a large population. The emergence of purifiers that can purify the soil has given everyone hope that large areas of land can be planted. At that time, China will no longer have to worry about not being able to feed such a large population.
The Hope Base was selling like crazy with purifiers, and it really realized its beautiful dream of being able to support the entire base with just the medicine. The base's management and residents were all grinning when they saw the various bases scrambling for purifiers.
After the first harvest season, an order was issued from the imperial capital to launch a counterattack against zombies and zombie beasts. This was the first country and region on the entire earth to launch a counterattack. Other places were still in dire straits, but now China could only take care of its own little piece of land.
Hope that the base would respond to the call from the imperial capital, and a large number of guards and mercenaries would rush out of the base to wipe out the zombies outside in a carpet-style manner. Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang would send a corps of alien beasts to join the battle, and the two of them would also be raiding the rear. When encountering difficult-to-deal-with zombies, they would immediately take action to avoid unnecessary casualties.
The Hope Base is very powerful, so the zombies and zombie beasts around the Hope Base were quickly wiped out. After that, the Hope Base sent a team to support other weaker bases.
It took a full two years for Hua Guo, under the leadership of the imperial capital, to kill the last zombie, which was also a strongest level eight zombie. But it was not Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang's turn to take action. Instead, Liang Wei and Luo Sheng and other top psychics and warriors took turns to grind the zombie to death.
After all, we cannot let these two people go into battle when we encounter dangerous situations. Other supernatural warriors need opportunities to train. Although the zombies in China have been cleared, the situation is still very dangerous. Once those high-level zombies break into China, these supernatural warriors will be needed to stand up and protect China. Moreover, China is also facing the threat of strange beasts and plants. Yuan Jing is only one person, and it is impossible for him to lead all the strange beasts and plants. Besides, his lifespan is limited. What will happen after he leaves?
It took China another half a year to recover. During this time, as Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang had expected, the imperial capital's central control over the various bases was confirmed. However, the autonomy of each base was much greater than before the end of the world. But this was only the beginning. With the departure of the first batch of leaders, more and more power would return to the central government.
Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing also obtained positions granted by the imperial government and took the post of city lord. Anyway, both of them were city lords, and it was up to them to decide who was higher and who was lower. This position of city lord not only referred to the Hope Base, but also the secondary city built outside the Hope Base after the zombies were eliminated, which reduced the pressure on the main city of Hope City.
Half a year later, while China was recovering and developing, it sent out teams to leave China and go to other countries to fight. China could not just leave other places alone because zombies would continue to grow by devouring each other, and psychics and warriors would also grow in battle. Once the level of zombies surpassed that of psychics and warriors, China would face a huge threat again.
Of course, this battle will definitely be a long-term one. The main problem facing China is still domestic recovery and development. In the past, various bases were committed to eliminating zombies. After the zombies were eliminated, new problems immediately appeared in front of everyone, which were very serious. For this reason, Yuan Jing rushed to the imperial capital for a meeting. This was the second time he and Ling Shaoyang came to the imperial capital after the end of the world.
This problem had been discovered by many people before the zombies were eliminated, but it was difficult to spare the energy at that time. However, if this problem is not solved, the dilemma faced by mankind will not be much better than that of a zombie siege. Such a serious problem is human reproduction.
The end of the world has allowed mankind to evolve, this is an undeniable reality, people with special powers and warriors have stepped onto the human stage, but evolution has brought another problem, that is, the birth rate is getting lower and lower. By the eighth year of the end of the world, there were less than a thousand babies born in the whole of China. The number will get smaller and smaller as time goes by. While the end of the world has made human individuals stronger, it has also made it difficult for them to have offspring. If this continues, mankind will be extinct.
Yuan Jing was given an important task at the meeting because he had demonstrated the most outstanding ability in this regard after the apocalypse. Many amazing potions came from his hands. The apocalypse could end in China at such a fast speed, and the potions he developed played an extremely important role.
Yuan Jing never thought that one day he would study how to make people have children. Perhaps he had anticipated this before, otherwise he would not have specially collected pregnancy fruits in his previous life in the Orc world, and also studied this technology in the interstellar world.
Yuan Jing gladly accepted the order in the imperial capital. After visiting Grandpa Ling with Ling Shaoyang, he returned to Hope Base and plunged into the laboratory with his team.
At this time, the senior executives of other bases were no longer jealous of Hope Base and Yuan Jing. They also eagerly hoped that Yuan Jing and the team in the imperial capital could produce results in the shortest time possible to solve the major issue of human reproduction.
The people at the Hope Base have full confidence in Yuan Jing, so even though not many children are born, they are still very optimistic. In their opinion, there is nothing that Yuan Jing can't do.
Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang sometimes talked about the problem of reproduction. I'm afraid that this problem also occurred in the original world line, but how was it solved at that time? Can it be solved by light-based abilities? Yuan Jing was a little skeptical. The higher the level of the light-based ability user, the more difficult it is for him to give birth to offspring. This is a problem faced by all ability users and warriors.
"Maybe there will be a way out when the car reaches the mountain, or maybe it will take a longer time to solve it." Ling Shaoyang guessed, of course it is also possible that humans have brought about their own destruction.
Now he is very confident in Yuan Jing, but the final result may surprise everyone.
Yes, after two years of research, Yuan Jing launched a potion called Life. He is still committed to researching the potion. As for other means, he will leave it to the professional teams in the imperial capital. The Life Potion is the result of combining the pregnancy fruit with future interstellar high technology.
After the successful tests on mice and exotic beasts, they entered the human testing stage. Lu Qi and Xiang Zhou looked at the life potion in front of them with surprised expressions.
"Boss," Lu Qi still called them that, "Do you think this potion can also make men have children?"
The voice at the back was very high-pitched, full of wonder and a bit of horror.
Ling Shaoyang admired their expressions and said, "Yeah, don't you and Xiang Zhou want a child?"
