Chapter 90 Reappearance of Civilization
To verify the authenticity of the prescription given by Rong Yi and his team, the base troops now have an additional task besides their original mission: collecting various plants.
To demonstrate their sincerity in cooperating, Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing decided to first hand over "The Complete Guide to New Vegetation".
Besides expressing sincerity, it was also to reduce casualties caused by troops collecting plants. Nowadays, apart from a few plants that are beneficial to humans, the rest are either poisonous or highly aggressive.
Jin'an District is the only base in Jijiang City built by the military, and most of the high-ranking officials are also from the military.
Shanghe District was established by the municipal government. When Mayor Rong Jitong was supposed to come to Jin'an District, something unexpected happened. Instead, the deputy mayor led his trusted team to Shanghe District. To this day, no one knows whether the mayor's team was completely wiped out.
However, a major event recently occurred: the entire management of Shanghe District underwent a major reshuffle. Former Mayor Rong Jitong and his capable subordinate Chai Yuanzheng, along with their team and a mysterious force, arrived in Shanghe District after a period of heavy fog to secretly seize power.
Along with this news came information about the mayor's cause of death: it was the deputy mayor's ruthless act in his power grab during the chaotic times.
Among these news items, the one most affected was not the general public, but Rong Yi.
Looking at Lan Qi sitting in front of him, Rong Yi's mind was filled with questions like, "Who am I? Where am I?"
This was the first time she had seen this man. As the mayor's bodyguard, his physique was undoubtedly impressive. Lan Qi had a resolute face, a typical tough guy look, with three deep and long scars on the right side of his cheek near his lips.
The healed wound stretched taut over the surrounding skin, giving him an appearance that could frighten children.
At this moment, he looked relieved. "I knew you would survive, but unfortunately..." The tough guy's eyes reddened as he said this. "I couldn't protect your father. That bastard Zheng Xingwei will be brought to justice. Even if the world is in chaos, he will pay the price for killing the mayor."
Zheng Xingwei is the vice mayor, and Rong Yi had never paid attention to the situation in Shanghe District before.
"Uncle Lan, thank you."
Rong Yi knew nothing about his nominal father's murder.
Lan Qi wiped his eyes and shook his head, saying, "It's only right. The mayor has been kind to us. Chai Yuanzheng wants you to go to Shanghe District so he can take care of you nearby."
If players could actively change their base, Rong Yi would be happy to move to a different location, but the situation is that the base can only be changed passively, meaning the base no longer exists.
"Uncle Lan... it's not that I'm unwilling, but I've put in a lot of effort here, so I need to see results. Besides, the people here know I'm my father's daughter, and they've taken good care of me."
Because it was someone she had only met in her capacity, Wei Yanqing made a point of leaving to give up the space for their conversation.
"Results?" Lan Qi had no idea what she had done.
Rong Yi nodded, "Yes, I want to gain some control of this base. It would be a pity to give it up now."
Lan Qi's tearful expression disappeared. "You alone... with that teammate, how did you manage to do this?"
Rong Yi has no relatives or power in this base, so it is extremely difficult for him to gain power. He is a little worried about the way Rong Yi will obtain power.
"That's how it was done." Rong Yi released a book titled "The Complete Guide to New Vegetation".
Lan Qi opened the book with curiosity, then slammed it shut. "Xiao Yi, you've already given it to me?"
Rong Yi nodded, "Don't worry, besides this, I will definitely be rewarded with authority for other contributions I make to the base." She paused for a moment, then added, "Uncle Lan, to tell you something that might reveal some secrets about the base, the Jin'an District has already developed a substance that can effectively block the sense of smell of zombies."
She had an idea after learning about her father's close-knit team's return to Shanghe District.
The merger of the two bases in Baiquan City, with Shanghe District having the rights of the municipal government and Jin'an District having the rights of the military region, demonstrates that the military and government are inseparable and have always complemented each other. Therefore, the merger is not a pipe dream.
Rong Yi continued, "The Jin'an District base was able to develop something like this thanks to the huge contributions of my teammates and me, so..."
Lan Qi seemed to understand her intention and pushed the book in his hand back to her. "Uncle understands what you mean. Chai Yuanzheng has always wanted to see you. I'll talk to him when we get back."
Lan Qi may look burly, but he is actually quite meticulous.
·
Two days later, the senior management of the Jin'an District base met with Chai Yuanzheng and Rong Yi.
If Lan Qi is a super tough guy, then Chai Yuanzheng is extremely refined. He speaks, treats people, and acts with kindness and gentleness. You would never guess that he was able to take over the Shanghe District base so quickly and ruthlessly.
Chai Yuanzheng was refined and handsome. He saw Rong Yi as a kind elder and said, "Lan Qi didn't lie. You are indeed doing quite well."
In Rong Yi's own impression, this person was someone he used to see often, but seeing him again felt like a lifetime ago.
"That's good. Where is my father buried?"
I asked Lan Qi about this last time we talked, but he meant for Chai Yuanzheng to tell her.
“Xia Wenge in Jingde City next door, that’s your father’s favorite place.”
Rong Yi nodded. "I'll go there after things are settled here." After all, he is her father, and she will pay her respects before leaving the instance.
Chai Yuanzheng patted her on the shoulder. "I've talked to the people here about that matter you mentioned, and the chances are very good." He then began to sigh, "Baiquan City is doing very well now, much better than what we've seen in other places."
Rong Yi didn't know where they had come from, and Lan Qi remained silent about it.
Rong Yi: "Other places? I've been to Jijiang City. Although marine life there has started migrating inland, the situation was very good before, even better than in Baiquan City."
Chai Yuanzheng sighed inwardly: "If the local governments in some areas have the power, they can organize the bases very well. But some places are just so unlucky that all the people who hold high power die. The remaining ones are not powerful enough and are divided and eliminated by other forces. The bases they establish are more terrible than the apocalypse. It is no exaggeration to call them hell on earth."
At the beginning of the virus outbreak, due to force majeure, Rong Jitong had to go to the neighboring province. After that, a series of events occurred, including the deputy mayor killing the mayor and stealing a plane while the satellite was still usable, and returning to Baiquan City.
They had come all the way back from the neighboring province.
Rong Yi had never seen such a situation before. Although the bases in Baiquan City and Jijiang City were not merged into one, they were both in the hands of the government, either military or political. It was impossible for the bases to be controlled by some random force.
"The base organized subsequent rescue efforts, destroyed several strongholds formed by dozens of people, and even rescued my classmate in the first operation."
She was deeply impressed by what Gong Kang and others did in the mall. If they could do that with fewer than a hundred people, it was unimaginable for those with tens or even hundreds of thousands of people.
Chai Yuanzheng: "The biggest reason why this place is willing to merge is the unstable factors outside. There are two groups that deserve our attention. One is the base established by people with superpowers. They believe that people with superpowers are superior and mostly implement a cruel hierarchical system, making ordinary people live worse than pigs and dogs. The other is the base established by mysterious people, like your teammate. Their origins are mysterious, but they are equipped with all kinds of strange equipment. However, they are not very interested in ordinary people or even power. They mainly deal with zombies and mutated creatures."
I'll update more tomorrow. My little corner is all set up, time to get back to writing!
