The people outside who had been watching nervously breathed a sigh of relief instantly. They had traveled through mountains and rivers and finally arrived at the western base. They really didn't want to leave again.
But without the Shen Chao couple, they didn't dare to stay.
Seeing both sides shaking hands and making peace, talking and laughing, I naturally put my mind at ease.
The western base is built on the mountainside, with a majestic appearance, and can accommodate more than two million people. The city has a clear division of labor, shops, snack streets, and high-rise buildings under construction... Although the conditions are difficult, everyone has a smile on their face and is full of hope for the future.
The survivors from Hai City walked on the streets, feeling dazed and thinking they had returned to the time before the end of the world.
"Is this true?"
Someone murmured, feeling that their eyes were not enough.
The old man's eyes lit up and he waved at him. "Hey, young man, are you new here? You must have bought a lot of things since you're new here. Look, quilts, clothes, pots and pans...would you like some?"
He stretched out his palm and shook it: "It's not expensive at all, just ten crystal cores."
The young man was stunned.
Only then did I remember that I had been allocated accommodation but it seemed that I didn’t even have quilts or anything like that.
I quickly ran over and said, "Really? So cheap? Okay, I'll buy it."
The old man waved his hand and told him to pick whatever he wanted. The young man was overjoyed and quickly started picking things. The people behind him saw this and remembered that they didn't have anything either, so they also hurried over to pick.
For a while, the old man was so happy that he received so much money that his hands were full.
"Come and see, top-quality leather, only one crystal core is needed, first come, first served..."
The stall owners on both sides of the street also shouted at the top of their lungs.
Looking around, the whole street is bustling with people, lively and full of worldly fireworks.
After a few days of adaptation, the survivors who came from Hai City finally adapted to life in the western base. Then they realized that they had all been cheated. Those clothes and dishes were not worth that much money at all. They could be bought with one crystal core.
Everyone: ...
My goodness, I just arrived and I was treated like a fat sheep to be slaughtered. Where is the friendly welcome I was promised?
The stall owner, who arrived two years earlier, scratched his head and laughed awkwardly: "Ahem, well, I got ripped off when I first arrived, and I got so angry I just followed suit and ripped off the next batch... After so many batches, it became a custom, didn't it?"
Besides, they are much better off than he was then.
He was naive at that time and was ripped off without leaving anything behind. He was almost crying with a bunch of things in his arms.
They still have so many crystal cores left.
The stall owner rubbed his chin, looked up and down with his small eyes, wondering how he could empty their pockets.
Everyone: ...
I suddenly felt a chill down my spine, tightened my purse, turned around and ran away.
Damn,
Don't trust these liars anymore.
The western base is sparsely populated and has few zombies. What it has to face are disasters from nature and attacks from animals and plants.
Since the danger was not high, the entire base focused its energy on restoring the city.
The earth and gold-type superpowers are responsible for building construction, the wood-type is responsible for planting crops, and the water-type is responsible for irrigation. Various superpowers and ordinary people have clear division of labor, and everything runs in an orderly manner.
One day,
The base commander came to discuss something with Shen Chao.
"Looking for survivors?"
Shen Chao frowned.
Qiu Wen smiled bitterly: "To be precise, we are looking for scientific researchers, teachers, and all those who will build the base."
The establishment of a base requires not only people with high martial arts skills but also management and people from all walks of life. What the entire base lacks most now is talent.
