Victory.
Hope Base won.
This base of less than a thousand people used their own strength to drive the zombies out of their homeland.
Everyone cheered happily. They thought that the biggest possibility of staying would be to perish with the base, but they didn't expect that they actually succeeded.
After the zombies retreated, Li Xue handed the task of cleaning up the battlefield to Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu happily pulled Zhang Long to work.
"Brother, now I finally understand why you are willing to give the position of base leader to Li Xue." Zhang Hu said as they walked.
"Tell me about it." Zhang Long said with a smile.
"Li Xue is really admirable. She was so generous to give out such an important thing. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to do it. Just for this reason, she deserves admiration. When Wang Weiming said that she had a huge treasure, I didn't believe it, but now I really believe it." Zhang Hu said, feeling a little embarrassed. When the base was first established, he was actually not happy that Li Xue was the base leader. "Wait,
how did it get to this point?" Zhang Long felt that he didn't seem to understand what his brother said.
"Brother, don't you know yet?" Zhang Hu shouted in a weird voice, and then glanced at Zhang Long.
"What is it? It feels like I've missed a lot of things." Zhang Long scratched his head.
"Brother, you really are..." Zhang Hu looked at his brother speechlessly, "Don't you feel any difference in the food you ate these days?"
"Really?" Zhang Long couldn't figure it out. He didn't feel that the food he ate these days was much different from before! If there is a difference, it is that the food he ate these days is much richer than before. After eating, people feel full of energy and feel that it is twice as easy to cultivate supernatural powers.
Wait, is this the problem?
"It seems that you are not completely stupid yet." Zhang Hu shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Boy, how can you talk like that!" Zhang Long patted Zhang Hu on the head.
"Brother, the base commander has a magical thing in his hand. If you drink it during the battle, your superpowers can quickly recover to the best state. If you use it for cultivation, it will definitely have a very strong auxiliary effect on superpowers. I thought about it, maybe this is the secret of the mercenary team's superpower cultivation speed higher than ordinary people." Zhang Hu said with admiration, "Such a precious thing, she actually took it out and distributed it to everyone without thinking. Although it may be because of the intense war at that time, it is really admirable. With such a strong and selfless base commander, I hope the base will be able to dominate the world in the future."
"What do you think? I, your brother, have a good eye, don't I? You were not happy at first. I tell you, following Li Xue, we brothers won't have a good life in the future! Compared to that useless base chief, being an idle little leader is what I want." Zhang Long said, shaking his head.
Zhang Hu: ... You are the first person who can say that being unambitious is so natural.
"By the way, you should punish those guys who didn't follow the instructions that day, and don't let the base chief think that our people don't follow her orders. These guys who are good at making troubles but not good at doing things, it makes me angry just thinking about it." Zhang Long said angrily, because they didn't follow the instructions that day, the base lost a lot of people. He still has to apologize to Li Xue for this, these guys are looking for trouble!
"Yeah, I know."
The two brothers talked as they walked, and soon they arrived at the gate of the base.
Most of the members of the base gathered in the small square in front of the base.
Everyone had an excited look on their faces, discussing the course of the battle. Seeing Zhang Hu coming, everyone quieted down.
Zhang Hu walked to the rostrum in the square, cleared his cough twice, and then said loudly: "The base commander has ordered that half of all the crystal cores this time will belong to the base and will be used for the construction of the base in the future. The other half will be distributed to all personnel participating in the battle. All those who choose to stay in this zombie siege will be rewarded with fifty ordinary crystal cores each."
"Good!" Everyone shouted excitedly, they thought that the base might collect all the crystal cores. I didn't expect that half of the crystal cores would be allocated to them. Those who chose to stay at that time were so happy that they didn't know what to say.
"In addition, the base will give additional compensation to the heroes who died in this battle." Zhang Hu's voice was obviously heavy. Although they won this time, they also lost dozens of members. "These heroes who sacrificed their lives for the base will not be allowed to leave in peace. Their children will be raised and trained by the base, and they will grow up safely. The base will be responsible for raising their parents and elders, and will provide for them until they die! From today on, for all those who died in the line of duty, the base will ensure that their relatives will be well cared for when they are young and have someone to rely on when they are old."
"Wow--" Thunderous applause rang out. Everyone's eyes were red. They never thought that the base would be so thoughtful. In the future, they no longer have to worry about themselves getting into an accident one day, and their relatives being left alone and bullied in this cruel doomsday.
"Okay, now we are going to go out of the city to collect crystal cores. Everyone should pay attention to safety in case there are dead zombies that hurt people. Two people in a group, cooperate with each other." Zhang Hu and others calmed down and made arrangements.
"Yes!" The answer was so neat as never before.
Zhang Hu smiled. This was what people wanted. Li Xue, this woman, was really worthy of their following.
The gate of the base opened, and everyone left the base, ran to the battlefield, and began to collect crystal cores from the piles of zombies that were several meters high.
Everyone worked in groups of two, cooperated with each other, dug the crystal cores out of the zombies' heads, and put them in their bags. The corpses with the crystal cores dug out were dragged aside and waited to be burned. No one kept anything for themselves. They loved this base with all their hearts, and they consciously maintained the things in the base.
When it was dark, everyone handed over all the crystal cores they had collected to Zhang Hu. The crystal cores were piled up into a small mountain.
These crystal cores were only a small part. There were too many zombies, and the collection speed was too slow.
The next day, the base organized people to dig a huge pit a few hundred meters away from the base by earth-type mutants. The zombies were pushed into the pit in batches and burned to ashes. When the fire was extinguished and the temperature dropped a little, the crystal cores were picked out.
In this way, it took three days and three nights to burn all the zombies in front of the Hope Base. In the base, the crystal cores had already piled up into several mountains.
After the number of crystal cores was counted, the crystal cores began to be divided. The whole base was full of joy.
