Chapter 89 You Are My Angel Too
The guards are ordinary people who have not awakened and evolved. If they fight, they will definitely not be able to defeat Fu Xingyuan, whose body has been strengthened.
But under the threat of Ye Qi Lei Dian, Fu Xingyuan did not resist this time.
Her face was covered in tears and pale with anger. She was obediently handcuffed and taken to a small house next to the villa and locked up.
It used to be the Chu family's small warehouse, filled with miscellaneous items. After being cleaned up by the logistics team over the past two days, it has not been used yet and is now temporarily used as a place for confinement.
The room was empty and deserted, with only one small window with bars on it. Once the door was locked, the light dimmed, and Fu Xingyuan really felt like he was in prison.
She was so angry that she sat on the ground and cried.
The sound of crying could be faintly heard in the villa.
At this time, more and more people came to the large living room on the first floor of the villa to watch the excitement. Ye Qi took advantage of the crowd to give a speech.
"The base has established rules for everyone's safety. You need permission and report before leaving the base, and you must be checked before entering. No one is exempt."
"The access control is not strict, what if bad guys sneak in? No one, no matter what position, including those with special abilities, can get special treatment."
"On the contrary, precisely because you hold a position or possess special abilities, you should shoulder your responsibilities and take the lead in abiding by the rules. How can you feel superior and deliberately sabotage others?"
"The same rules apply to handing in supplies! The same applies to other rules!"
"Where are Fu Xingyuan's roommates? Anyone who shared a burger with her in private, come out!"
Ye Qi's face was serious, and he scolded her violently, so that no one in the female dormitory dared to be negligent and they all came to receive the lecture.
He apologized to others in public, admitted that eating in private was wrong, and obediently accepted the punishment of fasting for two meals, dinner and breakfast the next day. No one dared to refute or argue.
Because of a bite of hamburger, I lost two meals, which is a big loss.
But even Fu Xingyuan, the only female superpower in the base, was dealt with, so how could ordinary people dare to make a move?
Seeing that they admitted their mistakes with a good attitude, Ye Qi's expression eased a little.
He said seriously, "A hamburger is nothing. The key is that this kind of atmosphere cannot be allowed to develop. If someone dares to secretly hide a hamburger this time, will they hide a bag of rice, a warehouse full of supplies, or even weapons and firearms next time?"
"When you join the base, you must put the interests of the base first, because the base is everyone's base, it is everyone's refuge, and it concerns everyone's life and death."
"Let the base solve any problems, and keep any benefits for yourself. This is disrespectful to other base members and plunders resources. Once discovered, there will be no tolerance."
"As for the fact that you feel the rules here are too rigid and the punishments are too severe, and you don't want to stay here any longer, so you want to leave?"
Ye Qi glanced at everyone present.
He said slowly, "The Bloody Dawn Base is not a gangster's den. It doesn't mean you can't leave after you arrive. Everyone is welcome to join, and everyone is allowed to leave. There will be more and more bases in the future, and the government will definitely establish bases as well. You can transfer to other places as you wish."
"But, as long as you're here, you have to follow the rules."
"Break the rules and get kicked out? Sorry, accept the punishment first and then leave!"
"Fu Xingyuan can leave. Everyone who accepted the punishment today can also leave. After accepting the punishment, it's up to you to do whatever you want!"
"This matter ends here. I hope everyone will learn from this and disperse."
Ye Qi was decisive and quick in his response. After giving the lecture, he went on to do other things.
The hamburger left behind by Fu Xingyuan was taken away by the logistics staff. After checking that there was no problem, it was given to the sick and wounded as a snack.
The crowd left in groups of three or five, talking about it.
This was the first time since the establishment of the base that someone who made a mistake was formally punished. Ye Qi acted decisively to make an example of someone, which caused quite a stir in the hearts of all members.
Basically everyone supports Ye Qi's approach.
Without rules, there would be no order. Everyone who joined the base naturally hoped for a peaceful and stable life. Here, there was food, drink, medical care, and even a guard, which was much better than the ruins outside.
The survivors of the Tsui Wah Hotel liked the fact that there were no negative mutants here. The military and police who joined later and people who came from nearby liked the supplies and security here. Everyone thought that this was the best place to live in the city before official rescue arrived. Those who didn't think so left at the beginning or didn't come to join.
Therefore, abiding by the rules and safeguarding collective interests is everyone's common wish.
Otherwise, everyone will be out for themselves, engaging in petty intrigue, and eventually the base will collapse. Will everyone then be struggling to survive in the ruins outside? Food will have to be scavenged from trash cans and piles of bricks, and there will be fighting and looting, and if you're not careful, you could get hurt and die. How can it be compared to living here comfortably?
Therefore, even those who had been punished for sleeping with Fu Xingyuan were generally convinced. If they felt the punishment was a bit harsh and had some minor resentment in their hearts, they dared not express it and swallowed it in themselves.
I flattered and pleased Fu Xingyuan in order to gain more benefits. Now that it doesn't work, I obey Ye Qi's punishment for the sake of long-term stability.
People will weigh the pros and cons and then adjust their behavior to maximize their benefits.
When the formal collective meeting was held after dinner, Ye Qi announced the new point management system proposed by the base management, which aroused everyone's excitement.
From now on, not everyone will have to eat steamed buns, pickles and porridge the same way. You can earn points based on your contribution to the base, and then use the points to exchange for better food, as well as other ancillary supplies and services!
When you earn enough points, you can be upgraded to elite members and core members of the base, participate in management and decision-making, and steer the future of the base!
Some people with abilities and skills began to be eager to try and were considering participating in earning points.
Those who are physically weak or currently injured and unable to do much are not completely hopeless, as the base encourages everyone to exercise and learn skills. Even the most ordinary and weak individuals can earn a considerable amount of points by regularly participating in the base's exercise and training activities, meeting the required duration and assessment requirements.
Also announced were the conditions for joining the base.
The early stage is mainly focused on sheltering and rescuing survivors. The base has opened its doors in the past few days and anyone who signs up can join.
But in the future, as the number of mutant creatures increases, joining the base will require conditions -
If you want to join, you either have to have some ability or skill, or be an awakened person, or turn in supplies, or even directly turn in mutant beast cores!
In short, it will become increasingly difficult to join the base in the future.
The current situation of opening the door and welcoming everyone cannot be maintained for long.
"Fortunately, we stayed and didn't leave in the beginning, otherwise it would be difficult to come here later."
"Yes, that girl surnamed Fu is still making a fuss about leaving. It's easy to leave, but it's hard to get back in."
"Did you hear Captain Ye say that the base will help us train and learn combat skills, and once we awaken, they'll also provide us with crystal core upgrades!"
After the meeting, people talked excitedly.
The minor incident caused by Fu Xingyuan's arrogance during the day had long been forgotten by everyone. Even her roommates stopped thinking about hamburgers and began to look forward to the future of the base.
That’s right, I’m really hungry after not having meals... Everyone still thought of Fu Xingyuan, who was lying in bed with a hungry stomach, regretting that she shouldn’t have eaten her hamburger on impulse.
"Qiao Lan, I don't know how to thank you."
It was late at night and most people in the base were asleep, but Ye Qi and Qiao Lan walked side by side out of the villa courtyard.
The moon, slightly redder than before, hung in the sky, and the night was as cool as water.
Ye Qi whispered words of thanks to Qiao Lan.
The points system and future joining conditions proposed by the base today are all suggestions provided by Qiao Lan, and the management has improved them based on her original proposal.
Ye Qi is an investigator by profession, so he can be asked to fight or to conduct undercover investigations, but he has no experience in management.
He had been busy with all sorts of tedious affairs at the base these past two days, and Qiao Lan had really helped him solve a big problem.
With this system, the management of the base has a general framework, and it will be much easier to add details later.
"You provided supplies, helped in the battles, and also helped with management. You deserve at least half of the credit for the establishment and normal operation of this base." Ye Qi said sincerely.
It's more than half. It can be said that there would be no such base without Qiao Lan.
Otherwise, how could he distribute food, provide medical care and medicine to everyone? Even without Qiao Lan, he would be dead now.
Qiao Lan felt very happy.
I was praised by an angel.
But he said calmly, waving his hands: "No big deal, no need to thank me, come to work. Let's clean up this place as soon as possible, so that you can be safe and I can leave to enjoy my life."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the gate of the community.
The asphalt road at the entrance, which was originally clean and tidy, was completely destroyed in the storm and was filled with abandoned cars, broken wood, bricks and stones, messy garbage, etc.
The current base is just a single-family villa with surrounding yards and open spaces. There are no barriers and no external transportation roads. It is outrageous.
Tonight, Qiao Lan will help build the foundation of the barrier, and then the logistics team will complete the infrastructure.
Her spatial ability, which allows her to store and retrieve things, is very convenient for clearing roads.
Under the dim moonlight, her plump and heavy figure could actually jump lightly. After a few ups and downs on the ruins, she reached more than ten meters away.
The light was too dim and the figure was not very clear. Ordinary people could not see what she was doing at this time, but Ye Qi's eyesight, which had been enhanced by evolution, could clearly see that a thick cement slab more than two meters long in front of Qiao Lan suddenly disappeared.
She jumped again and changed her location, and the two abandoned cars and a huge tree nearby also disappeared.
Not long after, when she returned to Ye Qi, there were no large obstacles on the road ahead for 20 to 30 meters. There were only some broken bricks and garbage left, which could be cleaned up by ordinary people.
"You are so amazing." Ye Qi praised sincerely.
Qiao Lan laughed: "You are amazing. You can even be resurrected after death."
Ye Qi seriously corrected: "If you've been dead for too long, you can't reassemble. Luckily, you gave me emergency treatment last time, which allowed me to rebuild my heart and start the power source in time. Otherwise, with my current abilities, I wouldn't be able to truly revive. I guess I'll have to wait until I evolve to a higher level."
Qiao Lan quickly waved her hand: "Don't tell others about your special abilities and weaknesses easily!"
Ye Qi said: "You are not someone else."
It was you who said that.
"Anyone other than yourself is someone else." Qiao Lan warned, jumping up and patting Ye Qi on the shoulder. "Even if I have helped you, don't trust me easily. It's the end of the world, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Remember this."
Ye Qi said: "I believe you."
Qiao Lan couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking he was a bit silly: "My angel master, who am I to you? You just believe it."
"Savior." Ye Qi paused and blurted out, "Angel."
"ah?"
"Qiao Lan, you are also my angel." Ye Qi suddenly stood at attention and saluted Qiao Lan.
The moonlight is dim and bright.
Qiao Lan was a little confused for a moment.
This sounds a bit like the dialogue from an idol drama!
What is the way to salute...
You are such a serious person, Ye Tianshi.
