Thorin also wanted to help, but after visiting the scene, he found that there was only so much he could do with his forging hammer.

So he went back to his room and went to sleep in a bad mood.

The days in the base then entered a period of peace and tranquility, but some forces on the surface seemed a little unkind, and actually threw the infected people who had no time to be treated into the underground ruins.

Fortunately, Carl had already completed the preliminary reconstruction of Kowloon Walled City, so he took Hope to treat the infected people, and then isolated them in the walled city and sent Moon Spirit constructs to guard them.

Life in confinement is naturally uncomfortable, and those infected people who have recovered have rebelled because of this.

Carl did not stop them, but updated the database of the Moon Spirit Constructs, strictly prohibiting them from accepting those who left.

Even if they kneel outside and hit their heads, it won’t work.

Sure enough, most of those who left came back one after another and asked for treatment.

But as the constructs transformed the fortress, they couldn't even find where the door opened.

A few people seemed to know the location of Carl's base, so they thought about taking people to Carl's side, but a volley of crossbows and force field crossbows made them accept the reality.

Some people regretted leaving for the sake of temporary freedom, while others directed their resentment towards Carl who no longer provided them with help.

One afternoon, Carl finished his research for the day and taught Thorin some sword-forging techniques.

Just as the two returned to the first floor, a vibration sound suddenly occurred outside.

"What's wrong?"

Summoning a moon spirit construct, Carl asked it about the situation outside.

"Some zombies tried to get close, but the automatic attack system killed them."

After briefly answering Carl's question, the Moon Spirit Construct turned and left.

This is probably the final outcome of that group of people.

A few days later, Carl took Hope and Ying to the city to check on how those who stayed behind were recovering.

What surprised him was that in just a few days, the people here had already started to form cliques.

“Sure enough, the power vacuum period is extremely short. If you don’t occupy it, someone else will take your place.

Go and drive those guys out of the city!"

After giving instructions to the Moon Spirit maid he brought with him, Carl rectified the chaos in the fortress, and then left some food for the Moon Spirit maid stationed there.

Just as he was about to leave, a half-elf child stopped him.

"Can you please teach us some life-saving techniques?"

Behind her, several children who were about half her age knelt down on the compacted cement ground with a plop.

Even though they were in so much pain that they were almost crying, these children gritted their teeth and persevered.

This aroused Carl's interest.

"Sure! Of course, what do you want to learn?"

Upon hearing what Carl said, the light in the half-elf's eyes brightened a little.

"What can you teach us?"

After thinking for a moment, Carl first listed a few that were easier to learn.

"Rogue, warrior, ranger, monk, these professions require less external things. As long as you are willing to work hard, you may be able to succeed in the future."

"Anything else?"

After taking a look at the girl, Carl continued, "Those are Druid, Artificer, and Barbarian. However, to be employed in these professions, the applicants need to meet certain requirements. Not everyone can learn them."

"Isn't there a profession that anyone can learn and become very strong after learning it?"

Upon hearing this, Carl's mouth twitched twice, and he stepped forward and knocked on the forehead of the half-elf girl.

"What are you thinking! Even professions like wizards, priests, bards, paladins, and warlocks have to learn step by step... Oh no! Warlocks don't have to, but they have to serve their lords and have no freedom in their lives. The other professions also have their own advantages and disadvantages."

"What are the shortcomings of a mage?"

The half-elf girl blinked, and seemed to feel that she had discovered a loophole in Carl's words, and hurriedly asked.

After taking a look at the ambitious child, Carl replied helplessly: "To be precise, the shortcoming is not in this profession, but in us. It is too painful for people who are not smart enough to learn to be mages."

"Can I try it?"

Looking at the other person with some surprise, Carl almost laughed out of anger.

But normal people are still very tolerant of such polite cubs.

So Carl took out a piece of paper and started writing and drawing on it.

He then began to teach her the meaning of numbers and symbols and gave her a mixed operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

The little girl struggled for half a day before she finally figured it out.

Then she thought that she could learn magic in this way.

But Carl just smiled and nodded, then wrote a series of equations on the back of the paper.

The little girl was suddenly at a loss.

Realizing that the mage profession she had always dreamed of was so difficult to learn, the half-elf girl was very decisive. She immediately gave up the unrealistic idea and chose the next best option, such as the mechanic profession offered by Carl.

This time, Carl asked her to take the test together with her companions.

All the candidates were eliminated in the test using the Rubik's Cube to test their mechanical talent and spatial imagination. Two people barely passed the druid's perception test. As for the barbarians...

We know this without testing. These kids don't have talent in this area, otherwise they wouldn't be infected by the virus diluted by Green Rain.

Even if it was because of their age that they were not inspired by the rage when they were near death, it still proved that they were not talented enough in the barbarian field.

Finally, the children accepted the fact that they were not geniuses.

But the one who accepted it the fastest was the half-elf girl.

Because she lacks the ability to perceive natural magic but has a relatively high perception attribute, she chose to become a monk as her future path.

After teaching the basic training methods to these children, Carl and the other two left the fortress and returned to the base.

This action was completely impulsive, and even Carl himself didn't think these children could stick to it.

Although entry and exit to the Walled City were currently off-limits, and Carl had isolated most of the adults there from each other and implemented a rationing system, food was still plentiful.

It is difficult for people to really make up their minds to study something hard in a comfortable environment.

Unless he has reached a certain level of material enjoyment or he is really a person with great perseverance.

…

Two days later, Joanna brought several classmates to Carl's base.

With them were several boys and girls of the same age who looked very thin.

"These are the ordinary people we have rescued during this period. Senior, please take them in."

In the living room, Joanna bowed to Karl.

But Carl did not agree directly, but described the situation in the stronghold in detail.

The expressions of several people in the group changed immediately, but they still tried hard to maintain their previous weak and pitiful appearance.

They originally thought they would be living in this base, but they didn't expect that not only would their entry and exit be restricted, but they would also be guarded like prisoners.

But they did not speak like Erque in those cool novels who had no power but still tried to reason with Jindan Zhenren. They just hid behind Joanna and the others and continued to appear weak.

"Why, why treat them like this? It's not their fault that they were infected!"

At this time, a boy who was too kind-hearted spoke.

"It's indeed not their fault that they were infected, but I did this to reduce management costs. The rooms in the fortress have one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The food is distributed by the Yueling maids, and there is a fixed time for outdoor activities every week.

I have already provided such a living environment, what else do you want from me? You have saved a lot of people recently, right?

Are these the only ones who managed to survive, while the rest turned into zombies due to repeated loss of vitality in repeated infections?"

After hearing these words, the kind-hearted boy nodded immediately.

This made Carl look at him with a higher opinion. He originally thought that the other party was the kind of brainless saintly bitch, but now it seems that he was indeed raised a little too naively by his family.

After explaining the key points of the scientific epidemic prevention guidelines to everyone, Joanna and a group of students from Korlanburg suddenly understood.

In fact, this knowledge is not that profound, but they do not have access to it on a normal basis, so they are lacking in this aspect.

"It seems that isolation is indeed necessary. Senior, you just said that you taught the children in the city some professional training techniques? Then can we help train them? To be honest, I am a holy warrior and I want to develop a few apprentices..."

Similar to Joanna, this kind-hearted paladin also believes in the gods of destiny.

This made Carl feel a little relieved.

Most of the people in the Silver Flame Church are a bit too radical, and they might turn evil at any time.

In comparison, the paladins of the gods of destiny are much better.

"No problem, but I don't think there are many people who can meet your standards."

Karl glanced behind the young paladin and transmitted the faces of several people whose minds tended to be evil as detected by his psychic power to V.

These people will be taken special care of by the Moon Spirit Maids in their future lives. Once they bully others or do something else, Carl will throw them out of the city without mercy.

A Moon Spirit maid was arranged to take the young Paladin and others to the fortress. Carl chatted with the remaining Joanna and others for a while, and then the topic naturally shifted to the matter of the magic motorcycle.

"Senior, do you have any extra magic motorcycles? My classmates..."

Having said that, Joanna lowered her head shyly.

She had no intention of showing off her new vehicle to her classmates, but the magic motorcycle was indeed very convenient and fast, so she couldn't help but ride it every time she went out.

What's more, Carl also specially added a color-changing function to the magic motorcycle, which allows the motorcycle to change color and pattern according to the owner's preference.

The handsome body of the car is matched with such user-friendly functions, and all the young students were hooked into it.

If they didn't feel it was a bit impolite to have everyone come, there wouldn't have been only these few people coming today.
