Chapter 401 A Person Who Insists on Seeking Death
They were assigned in batches to various locations within the Dawn base to carry out village construction work.
Nearly 100,000 people will be migrating here, and we need to prepare houses and various supplies.
The first group consisted of people with superpowers, who were very efficient at getting things done. They only needed to build the village first, and then it would be easy to arrange for the later arrivals.
As arranged, Yang Wen and her group arrived at a village construction site. Ordinary people hauled materials, metal-type ability users smelted materials, wood-type ability users were responsible for transportation, and other ability users carried out construction.
Many people at the scene were working with great enthusiasm on the house-building project.
Are they building houses? No, they are building hope for the future.
When it was time for their shift change in the evening, Yang Wen and her group strolled around the inhabited villages and inquired about the situation at the Dawn Base.
When they saw the villagers living and working in peace and contentment, they were all filled with admiration.
“Look at them, they are all rosy and plump, clearly they have plenty of food and don’t look hungry. Compared to them, we are all skinny like skeletons, and our faces are like old tree bark, like a group of refugees.”
"Who can argue with that? The people at Dawn Base are worlds apart from the people outside."
"Don't panic, don't panic, we'll be there soon too. We'll be able to live this kind of good life soon too."
"After going around in circles, we're back again. It's truly a blessing from fate. This feeling is wonderful."
“It’s not fate that’s favoring us, it’s clearly because we’re the base commander of Dawn Base. I’m going to do a good job this time I’m back, and I’m not going to go out again no matter what.”
Looking at the simple village and the surrounding lush green farmland, they felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
I'm so grateful, so incredibly grateful.
In a courtyard, an older woman came out to hang up her laundry. Seeing their pitiful state, she exclaimed, "Look at you, looking so pathetic! Did you recently move from Ye Sheng Base?"
Yang Wen nodded, "Yes, we switched shifts and came out for a stroll. We meant no harm."
The woman waved her hand. "I know you mean no harm. Who would dare cause trouble in Dawn Base? Do you think life is too easy? Wait for me a minute."
The woman turned and went inside. When she came out again, she was carrying a basket filled with boiled potatoes.
She presented them to everyone, saying, "Have some. These potatoes were just harvested a couple of days ago. They're soft, tender, and delicious."
Tao Yarong had previously made efforts to have seeds planted throughout the Dawn Base, and now that they were building a village, they certainly couldn't waste those seeds.
With Meng Shiwan's help, a batch of debts were collected.
After Dawn Base finished harvesting crops and planning village construction, Yesheng Base sent its first batch of people, and the coordination was perfect.
Yang Wen looked at the basket of round potatoes, the aroma wafting into her nose, and she quickly refused, "No need, no need, we're being fed while we're working, there's plenty to eat, you can keep these good things for yourself."
The auntie laughed and said, "It's nothing, these are all homegrown. The farm manager helped them grow faster, so it didn't cost much. I can afford to treat you to some. Our lives are a bit better now, and seeing how thin you are, we'd like to help you out if we can."
I came from the Fierce Bear Base, I know how tough it is. Take it, take it quickly.
When Meng Shiwan was recruiting people, he only recruited senior technicians. This was not only to build up talent reserves, but also because these people were all highly educated.
Once they are well-fed and watered, the knowledge in their minds will quickly adjust their perspectives, restoring their former unity and friendliness. They will also be able to think more clearly and understand that only by being down-to-earth can they have a good future, and they are less likely to cause trouble.
These people are generally quick-witted, have a long-term vision, are easy to manage, and are highly cooperative.
Yang Wen looked at the fresh potatoes, swallowed her saliva, and said somewhat shyly, "Then, then we won't be polite."
The woman took out potatoes and shared them with them. "Eat up, eat up! Dawn Base is really great. We can grow whatever we want to eat, medical care is cheap, and things in the supermarket aren't expensive either. Finally, we can live a peaceful life."
There are still many people suffering outside, and nobody knows when this damned apocalypse will end.
This topic became heavy, and Yang Wen could only hope, "Just hang in there, it will eventually end."
A basket of potatoes wasn't much for their large group; each of them could only take a small bite, but they were still very satisfied with the fresh taste.
"It's delicious, thank you, auntie."
"Once we've settled down and grown some delicious food, we'll come back to give you a gift in return."
"That's wonderful, everything is wonderful."
Just as they were happily envisioning the future, something unpleasant happened elsewhere in the base.
The notification sound kept ringing on Lei Zhe's central tablet.
"The theft of crops has occurred, the location has been marked, and the perpetrator has been identified."
"A burglary has occurred; the location has been marked, and the perpetrator has been identified."
"A robbery has occurred; the location has been marked, and the perpetrator has been identified."
Hearing the continuous notification sounds, Lei Zhe was furious.
These days, all the superhumans in the base are very busy, with all sorts of work and tasks to do in order to better accommodate the people at Ye Sheng Base. Everyone is running around like crazy.
Needless to say, the managers were constantly busy coordinating various tasks, working like spinning tops, and barely getting a few hours of sleep.
As a result, when the people from Yesheng Base arrived, they started causing all sorts of trouble.
"Why do they have to choose death instead of enjoying a good life? These short-sighted people."
Lei Zhe angrily took out his phone and shouted in the guard team group, "Team One, Team Two, put down your work and deal with the security issues. Those who steal will be kicked out of the base immediately. Those who cause minor injuries or more will be taken out and executed as a warning to others."
When Ye Sheng arrived at the base, the people who received them repeatedly told them not to cause trouble or steal from others. They assured them that the base would provide food and would allocate farmland to them in the future, and that their lives would get better.
I also told them repeatedly that no one could escape theft within the base; they would be discovered immediately, and they shouldn't take any chances.
Unfortunately, there are still short-sighted individuals who, as if they cannot understand human language, challenge the defense system within the Dawn Base.
Does the defense system only protect against outsiders? Does it also effectively protect those inside?
They insist on using their petty cleverness to challenge high technology.
Lei Zhe recorded the locations of the crimes and the identified perpetrators, and sent the recordings to the group chat.
