Time flies, and a week after its official establishment, the Dawn Base has entered a normalized phase in all its operations.
Xia Yixin and Lu Yan also divided their work into internal and external tasks. For the time being, Xia Yixin managed the internal affairs of the base, while Lu Yan led the search team out every day to search for supplies and help them improve their superpowers.
Of course, they all went to places a little further away. The zombies around T City were all under Xia Yixin's command to be active at night and hide during the day, which was equivalent to another layer of defense for the base.
After all, following Lu Yan, who is an eighth-level zombie emperor, only allows fourth-level zombies to play with them. Although the people in the special "training" team are always injured, their abilities grow rapidly. In just over half a month, the number of third-level ability users in the base has doubled.
Unfortunately, Lu Yan discovered that zombie cores below the seventh rank were useless to him, unable to shake the stagnant mutated virus in his body. The seventh-rank zombies had a strong sense of territory, and with the two of them in D province, other zombies above the seventh rank dared not come. The neighboring H province required at least a week's round trip.
The Dawn Base is just beginning to develop, and for safety reasons, the two can only maintain the status quo for the time being.
Power plants and water plants near T City also resumed operation. On the night the power was restored, the medical university's canteen was connected to electricity and water, and everyone finally stopped eating canned food.
The aroma of steaming buns, dumplings, noodles, hot stir-fries, and meat soup wafted out from afar, and people who had been eagerly waiting were already lining up outside the cafeteria.
The plates and chopsticks in the cafeteria have all been disinfected and are now usable.
After the cafeteria lights came on, everyone couldn't help but cheer. Someone started clapping.
Xia Yixin stood on the roof of the canteen, looking at everyone in the Dawn Base with hopeful eyes.
The canteen was filled with children's laughter, the sighs of the elderly, and the boasting and joking of the young people. People of all hair and skin colors gradually blended together and stopped acting independently.
Good news even came from the laboratory: there was a breakthrough in the development of the virus vaccine, and a first-generation virus vaccine would be developed soon. Xia's father and mother, along with the experts, worked tirelessly for three days and three nights. For their safety, Xia Yixin forced these elderly people to go back and rest. She also specially prepared a large table of dishes and added the recovery pills from her storage ring so that they could all get a good rest.
For several days in a row, the Dawn Base was filled with laughter and joy. With their families living better lives and having something to look forward to, the members of the base team smiled even more and were eager to try. The base walls were built higher and higher, and they went out to search for supplies more and more actively. Although supplies were plentiful at the moment, it was better to be prepared.
With the base now connected to water and electricity, some superhumans and small tribes have come to join them, bringing the total population of Dawn Base to over 1,000.
Xia Yixin also received a system notification: "Ding, congratulations host, the completion rate of saving humans (zombies) has increased by 1000 people, earning 10 points. Keep up the good work, host!"
Xia Yixin understood that this 1,000 people was the current total population of the Dawn Base after rounding. Although the points it could be converted into were not many, this was just the beginning, and she was not in a hurry.
With more manpower, the base management became more organized. She also developed several informants at the K base, who infiltrated the second district and brought back news from time to time.
K Base is currently on the verge of collapse.
This shows that almost a month has passed since the incident, and besides using vulgar language to condemn Xia Yixin and the Chenxi Base across all channels, Bai Jingkong has not taken any substantial retaliation.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he simply doesn't have the ability.
The base's food supplies and most of its weapons and ammunition were taken away, and some third-class citizens sneaked into Zone 1 and are still committing crimes.
The guard team was severely understaffed, and Bai Jingkong even had to lead the team himself to deal with the situation.
The ten remaining search teams at K Base were finding fewer and fewer supplies each day, and with winter fast approaching, Bai Jingkong was experiencing a severe shortage of resources for the first time.
The only person who could give Bai Jingkong a chance to vent her anger was Xia Ru. She hadn't died when the incident happened at K Base, but Bai Jingkong, in a fit of rage, stripped her of all her positions and threw her into the third-class citizen district, where she was tortured to the point of wishing she were dead. Guo Miaomiao, on the other hand, was placed under house arrest. Bai Jingkong claimed to the outside world that she was unwell and dared not publicize the fact that she had lost her superpowers.
The pressure to expedite orders from the seven major bases was like a knife hanging over his neck.
The seven bases had given him the "down payment" and would be picking up the goods in batches from mid-November. Now it's the end of October, but he still can't get the supplies out. Even more than half of his "healing water" inventory has been destroyed, leaving him with less than a hundred bottles.
During this time, he kept making various excuses to postpone, but the people from the seven bases had already given him no way out. He had to get the goods before December. If he couldn't deliver the goods by then, it would be the day of K Base's demise, and the day of Bai Jingkong's demise.
K Base is facing both external and internal troubles; Bai Jingkong has even been preparing to secretly transfer supplies and escape.
Just when he was at his wit's end, he suddenly heard his subordinates run over to report, "Lord Bai, there is a group of fifteen people outside the base who claim to be your relatives, including ten people with superpowers. They say they want to come and join you. One of them even said that he is the biological father of the 'Holy Maiden' named Guo Wei."
Bai Jingkong's words of dismissal were cut off. Superhumans! The base is currently in dire need of superhumans. Although he had never been in contact with this family before the apocalypse, Bai Jingkong still generously opened the city gates and personally went out to greet them.
He was unaware that Guo Wei's family had actually been discovered by the outpost of the Dawn Base early that morning.
The outpost at Dawn Base was initially drawn by a horde of zombies and saw a convoy surrounded. Out of humanitarian spirit, they rescued them, only to discover that they had rescued a "troublemaker."
The family of more than ten people, carrying a lot of goods, insisted on taking advantage of every opportunity to profit from the outpost's kindness after claiming to be Xia Yixin's "uncle."
Not only did they point fingers and criticize, but they also complained that the cookies were too hard and there was no juice, and even wanted Xia Yixin to come and pick them up personally.
Xia Yixin was inspecting the quality of the base's perimeter wall when she received the message, while Lu Yan and his search team had just set off.
"Guo Wei?"
Xia Yixin was stunned for a long time before she remembered who this person was.
