In her previous life, Gu Mingyue and her relatives first entered Hope Base.
Judging by the dates, it seems that Jiang Shenglin died within these few days.
It is now hoped that the base is controlled by two high-ranking leaders, one of whom is Jiang Shenglin's father.
His father advocated launching a full-scale attack before the monsters had fully evolved, while another advocated developing technology to enhance the survivors' abilities before dealing with the monsters.
After Jiang Shenglin died, the high-level superhumans in the Jiang faction were killed one after another.
The power imbalance between the two top leaders of the base led to a surge in internal conflicts and constant infighting. Eventually, production ceased and food supplies ran out, and the base was soon breached by monsters.
She did change the course of history in a tiny way.
Jiang Shenglin has been recovering well these past few days. His shattered internal organs are no longer in pain, only his external injuries have not yet healed.
Seeing Gu Mingyue looking at him with concern, he immediately felt that she was kind-hearted and one of the few saints in the apocalypse.
My feelings for her grew even stronger.
Jiang Shenglin is a level-two lightning-type ability user with advanced talent, and he is also the son of a high-ranking leader of Hope Base. If we don't take this opportunity to build connections and make use of him, wouldn't it be a waste of time to save him?
Gu Mingyue looked him over from head to toe and then gently shook her head.
"Judging from your injury, it probably won't heal for another week."
"These days, no one can afford to do charity."
"You know how monstrous the monsters outside have become. Our little base has provided you with a safe place to live and food for so many days, and we even change your medicine every day to protect your life."
"Only we know how difficult it was." Gu Mingyue put on an expression that showed how difficult it was.
Wei Jianguo, who was still standing at the door: ...
Actually, they didn't take much care of Jiang Shenglin. They just happened to pick him up from the monster's corpse, fed him some water and anti-inflammatory medicine. The reason he recovered so well was entirely due to his abnormal physical condition.
Hearing his boss say that, he suddenly felt a flush on his face and felt a little embarrassed.
"How about this, you stay and work for me for free for a year, and that will make up for all the supplies, medicine, and protection fees you've spent these past few days," Gu Mingyue said generously.
Jiang Shenglin's expression changed slightly. He hoped that his relatives and friends were in the base. If he weren't injured, he would have flown back right now. How could he stay here?
“Miss Gu, I’m sorry, I can’t stay here. I will make it up to you tenfold once I return to Hope Base. I’ve used so many of your things.”
"Only ten times? Captain Jiang, I must say you're being too stingy. Judging from the scale of the Hope Base's current construction, it must be stockpiling a lot of firearms!" Gu Mingyue said with a smile.
"I just want a few individual rocket launchers and tanks. These things can be rebuilt. A high-level talent like yours is rare. I guess your base will bring these things to pick you up once they know I rescued you, right?"
Seeing Gu Mingyue's smiling gaze, Jiang Shenglin remained silent for a moment.
The prophet predicted that the combat power of advanced superhumans in their later stages would be astonishing. Moreover, only superhumans could enter the Dark Realm to eliminate the monsters within and prevent humanity's demise.
He no longer sees himself as a human being, but rather as a humanoid weapon, weighing the value of his future self against that of the tank.
Gu Mingyue didn't interrupt his thoughts and took out a bag of spiced melon seeds from her pocket to eat.
Finally, Jiang Shenglin borrowed her satellite phone to call his father. The three of them discussed the matter and eventually decided to exchange six tanks and one hundred individual rocket launchers for him to go home.
After the agreement was reached, Gu Mingyue's image in Jiang Shenglin's mind was greatly diminished.
This is no saint, he's clearly a skinflint!
After finishing the call, Jiang Shenglin lay back on the bed without saying a word, his face regaining its cold expression.
It felt as if something inside him had suddenly shattered!
Gu Mingyue pretended not to see it and continued to speak with a smile.
"Captain Jiang, please stay here for the next few days and make yourself at home. Just tell Lao Wei what you want to eat or drink."
"While we may not be able to find everything for you, we'll do our best to accommodate your needs!"
Guan Hongtao is good at inventing small gadgets, but he's not good at this kind of sophisticated high-tech stuff.
Luckily, Captain Jiang came to her rescue and delivered so many supplies. He's really amazing!
Jiang's father's sudden mobilization of these resources inevitably drew criticism from another faction.
Three days have passed, and the goods still haven't been shipped.
Although Jiang Shenglin's injuries were not fully healed at this time, they no longer bled easily.
He slowly walked out of the room and began to observe Gu Mingyue's base.
I found that this place is very different from Hope Base.
Although it looks like just an ordinary residential area, it is far inferior to the fortified inner city that their base has planned according to the prophet's advice.
But these people are in a much better mental state than their base!
Everyone had a rosy complexion, and even ordinary people looked energetic, unlike those living in the apocalypse.
Unlike their base, where the superhumans all looked disheveled and often wore indifferent expressions, each person lived a boring life like an equation, like a spare part that could be sacrificed and replaced at any time.
Not to mention the ordinary people, who were emaciated like walking corpses, their eyes filled with fear.
There weren't enough people in the inner city, so they all lived in the outer city like refugee camps in a pre-apocalyptic war. When level two or three monsters appeared, they were like insignificant stones on the ground.
They were forced to accept the attacks of monsters and the baptism of artillery fire, but even so, they were among the better ones among the millions of disaster victims in the apocalypse.
Moreover, in such a rudimentary base, he actually managed to eat meat—the kind of mutated rabbit meat that could invigorate anyone with just one bite.
Mutated animals are so difficult to catch and raise!
Their team had gone out once, intending to capture some mutated wild boars to raise back home.
As it turned out, those wild boars were incredibly strong. They would rather be shot to death than go with them. Even when they were taken back, they would go on a hunger strike and eventually had to be killed and eaten.
Now, a large wild boar, reaching up to his chest, leisurely passed by him with a dozen or so piglets, carrying several cotton hats in its mouth, and put them down in front of a black bear that stood five meters tall.
Everyone at the Bright Moon Base was used to it and went about their own business.
Since Gu Mingyue wiped out all the monsters inside and outside the community, the mutated animals that had been hiding here have all stayed behind, including mutated wild boars, mutated red pandas, mutated ostriches, mutated cats, mutated sheep...
Moreover, they all seemed to follow the black bear's lead. During the day, they would go out and pick up helmets, clothes, gold bars, and crystal cores, and throw them next to the black bear, which would then be collected by Gu Mingyue.
Those supplies were like their accommodation fee. Everyone lived in peace every day. Occasionally, someone would touch them while they were sleeping, and they wouldn't show any resistance.
