Chapter 274 The base has been built
But before Lu Xingtang and the others could speak, others started talking: "If we keep a tight watch on the Twolegs, will the survivors be in danger?"
"Twolegs are still twolegs. They've eaten humans and have lost their humanity. They're joining the base now because they can't survive outside. That's why they want to join, where they get free food, shelter, and sheep. Otherwise, why would they join?"
"While what you said is true, base construction requires manpower. If we keep a close eye on them, this situation won't happen!" The government leader pondered for a moment and said, "Base Commander Lu, do you mean to keep them?"
Lu Xingtang nodded: "That's right! I want to maximize their value and not waste the manpower that was sent here for nothing! We need a lot of people if we want to complete the construction of our base quickly! Of course, we will also make arrangements to keep an eye on them and prevent them from harming the survivors! If we find that they are in trouble, we will take them down immediately!" He paused and chuckled: "They are just two-legged beasts. What's the harm in death?"
Seeing Lu Xingtang's smile, everyone shuddered. Thinking of their past interactions with Lu Xingtang and their familiarity with his ways, they felt relieved. "In that case, thank you for your hard work, Commander Lu. For the safety of the survivors at the base, our government will step up efforts and send a troop of soldiers to keep an eye on them! If necessary, shoot!"
Lu Xingtang nodded: "Okay! This way, the survivors can rest assured!"
After getting everyone's approval, Lu Xingtang instructed Su Cheng to bring the Twolegs into the base. He also organized patrols, surveillance teams, and security teams to keep a 24/7 watch over the Twolegs! They even set aside a special area for the Twolegs to stay and provide their own food and lodging. They would provide them with supplies, but they had to fend for themselves and not eat from the same communal pot as the other survivors.
Just in case, the security team is equipped with guns and can shoot two-legged beasts!
The government quickly sent soldiers to keep an eye on the Two-legged Beasts. The survivors in the base were a little unhappy at first, but when they saw the soldiers with guns, their unhappiness disappeared!
The bipeds: "!!!!" They didn't want to join the base either. They had no freedom or human rights left, but life outside was too difficult. Supplies were hard to find. They didn't want to eat grass roots, tree bark, or even Guanyin soil. They didn't even want to eat bipedal sheep! They just wanted to live a good life, like normal people!
Being watched was fine, but it was better than being outside with nothing. The Lancheng base had government support, and aside from the lack of freedom and the strange stares, everything else was fine. It was infinitely better than being outside. Furthermore, they felt they could overcome the vicious behavior they had become addicted to.
With Ji Yanmo watching over the Twolegs, Lu Xingtang felt reassured. Even tigers have their downtime, so Lu Xingtang had other survivors help keep an eye on them. Especially when working with the Twolegs, they were told not to go alone; they had to go with someone! They even had to bring security teams, patrol teams, and surveillance teams! Even if it was them!
Seeing that the Twolegs were like being imprisoned in the base, the survivors were in a very good mood and kept warning others to stay away from the Twolegs, especially the children.
Lu Xingtang did not allow the children to get close to the two-legged beasts, and asked the elderly with limited mobility to keep an eye on the children, and other people, to never let the children get close to the place where the two-legged beasts were.
After solving the problem of the two-legged beasts, Lu Xingtang shifted his attention to construction.
On August 20, 2112, the base was completely built, with only the bunker left to be built. Lu Xingtang's focus now was on building the bunker and the explosion-proof and bulletproof tempered glass. However, the tempered glass factory had already started production, and many people had joined the factory to make explosion-proof and bulletproof tempered glass. Lu Xingtang was not worried that the tempered glass could not be made, as this technology and talent were provided by the government. What Lu Xingtang was worried about now was the quality issue. Every time a batch of tempered glass was made and tested, Lu Xingtang was on the scene to prevent the quality from not being up to standard and others from cutting corners with him.
I felt relieved only after seeing that every piece of tempered glass was of good quality.
The bunker is not covered on the inside, but on the outside of the base.
Seeing that Lu Xingtang had dark circles under his eyes due to exhaustion from the base affairs, Su Cheng volunteered to work with Special Assistant Loyal Dog to oversee the construction of the bunker. Special Assistant Fox was still in charge of supplies, while Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang managed the entire base and dealt with the government. In everyone's eyes, Lu Xingtang was the base commander and Ji Yanmo was the deputy base commander.
Lu Xingtang's classmates were all members of the base's management team. During the construction period, they developed their own right-hand men, much like the Fox Assistant and the Loyal Dog Assistant to Su Cheng. These two treated Su Cheng very well, always completing Su Cheng's assigned tasks first, then their own. However, when faced with an emergency, they would complete their own assigned tasks first, without losing sight of priorities.
Lu Xingtang never said anything to them, and just regarded their behavior as a spice in their lives.
Su Cheng was also worried about them. Seeing that the two of them acted with discretion, he felt relieved. However, he also warned them, "I am no longer the base commander. The current base commander is Lu Xingtang. She is my savior, my family, and our partner! We must respect her and give her all our support! Ever since Hope Base was destroyed by the natural disaster, you should understand how they treated us. They also know their style of doing things. Don't do anything you shouldn't do."
In response to Su Cheng's instructions, Special Assistant Fox and Special Assistant Loyal Dog clearly stated, "Don't worry, Brother Su Cheng, we will act with discretion! To reassure you, this kind of thing will never happen again!" After a pause, they continued, "I'm sorry to disappoint you! We understand that Hope Base is gone, and now it's Lancheng Base. Lu Xingtang is our base commander and our savior. If it weren't for Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo, we would have died long ago!"
Seeing that they were as clear as a mirror, Su Cheng didn't say anything.
Lu Xingtang learned about their conversation from Ji Yanmo and just smiled: "As long as they don't betray the base, don't betray us, it's allowed for them to be willful occasionally! I'm not a tyrannical ancient king!"
The base gradually stabilized. As more and more people learned about the Lancheng base, more and more people joined the base. After Lu Xingtang and his team established residences, commercial streets, and points exchange areas, they introduced a series of rules and regulations to restrain and control the survivors, including a system for exchanging points for supplies, allowing survivors to earn points through labor and get the supplies they want through exchange.
