Chapter 138 Who knows what they used to do...?
[Number one in the world? Just because she's a greenhorn? The depth of our centuries-old family heritage is beyond the comprehension of you frogs in a well! Stop daydreaming and shake the water out of your heads.]
[A mere district head? You've got some nerve! In the past, appointing a district head like that wouldn't even be a matter for our First Continent, okay? You really think you're something special, huh? How laughable!]
[Oh, I already said it was all in the past. A hero doesn't dwell on past glories. Can we even compare the pre-apocalyptic era to the present? Did people have superpowers back then? Oops, I forgot! Your top three families' heads and the archbishop are just ordinary people without superpowers, just like before!]
[Hahahaha, the sarcasm is off the charts! The fact that they don't have superpowers shows that those big families are exactly the same as before, hahaha...]
【What? Ever since Shan Ran exposed your true colors, you haven't dared to confront people online. Now that Shan Ran has become the district head, you're trying to regain your sense of existence? Put away your sense of superiority. You've been secretly conducting human experiments, wantonly arresting and killing ordinary people, creating the inhumane gladiatorial arena tragedy, spreading rumors everywhere to try and smear us... The evidence is so conclusive, you can't clear your name!】
[So what if you're new to the game? So what if you're a woman? In this world, might makes right. If you're so capable, let your family head come out and let's see who's stronger. Oh, and by the way, gaining superpowers through human experimentation doesn't count.]
To be honest, I wouldn't want that land on the Third Continent even if it were given to me for free; only you guys would treasure it so much.
[No one said they were going to give it to you, so just stay on the First Continent and keep breathing in the mist. Shan Ran cleared the mist from the islands on the Second Continent; all the mist within a hundred kilometers of the islands is gone. You can see a mist every few steps where you are, right? I won't say who's envious.]
I envy you...
[Hahaha, you're getting impatient, you're getting impatient.]
[...]
Online arguments were raging, but no one dared to question the "consequences to be borne" statement made by the safe zone, and no one dared to actually bear those consequences.
After all, the last person who shouted "Come and chop me if you dare" online was found by Shan Ran in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace.
Soon, several bases that had been besieging the safe zone yesterday began posting messages.
Rongfeng Base, Qimingxing Base, Fenghuang Base, and Huoyun Base posted at almost the same time.
They stated that they voluntarily joined the safe zone, becoming a part of it, and from then on pledged their loyalty to the safe zone. They pledged to work together for the future of humanity, strive to clear away all the fog as soon as possible, defeat the monsters, and work together to build a harmonious and beautiful home.
The statements from each base were very uniform, with a very good attitude and a very official and formulaic tone. But it was precisely this tone that made people realize that they were no longer the scattered soldiers they had been before, but rather a "formal" team.
Someone at the Morning Star Base asked whether the person who provoked Shan Ran and challenged her to kill him was alive or dead.
Qimingxing Base did not respond, choosing silence as its answer.
Since then, this question has become a mystery to the outside world.
Six days later, the meeting was held as scheduled and lasted all day.
Representatives from all medium and large-sized bases were present.
This was expected.
Those who disagreed with Shan Ran and wanted to oppose her, instigated by some people, gathered near the safe zone some time ago, hoping to profit, but were all caught in a trap by Shan Ran.
The other bases that were not present will remain neutral, even if they do not support Shan Ran.
Now, Shan Ran has made it clear that he wants to unify the entire continent. If you don't participate, you will have to bear the consequences.
Who can bear the consequences of the mountain being dyed?
She could single-handedly take on an entire top-tier aristocratic family, wipe out Crocodile Island, destroy their laboratory, and even build her own power on the Second Continent, capturing aristocratic family members and making them prisoners. Her ambitions certainly don't stop there; she might even conquer the other two continents in the future.
Moreover, she has a bottom line, principles, and keeps her promises. It's better to have someone like that as a leader than those from aristocratic families who arbitrarily arrest people to do experiments.
The meeting concluded, and the security zone issued a statement.
Shan Ran became the first Executive Officer of the Third Continent after the apocalypse.
To be precise, the safe zone has been renamed.
From then on, it was officially named the Central District, the Central District of the Third Continent.
This meeting first clarified Shan Ran's leadership position and determined the central location of the security zone on the entire continent, and then proceeded with a complex and lengthy political discussion.
First, the overall structure of the continent was clarified. Apart from the central area, the other four areas each selected a base as the regional center, which is the superior of all bases in that area.
In addition to managing their own base, the base commander is also responsible for regularly collecting reports from other bases and conducting regular inspections.
If a base has difficulties or special needs, it can report to the regional headquarters. After verification, someone will be sent to help. If the problem cannot be resolved, it will be reported to the central region.
After the apocalypse, people spontaneously organized bases of all sizes, but they were completely disorganized. Most people struggled to survive, unsure of what the future held.
Now, a landmark powerhouse has emerged, forcefully integrating all the bases. He is capable, decisive, and resourceful, possessing not only exceptional abilities but also the capacity to lead the entire continent to better development.
Her existence is the unifying force of the new century.
At the end of the meeting, the central district appointed the Hope Base of District 5 as the regional core, with Chai Ze and Xiao Hui (the former leader of the scavengers, who joined the Hope Base after annexing the Tianxia Base and became Chai Ze's deputy) in charge.
Zone 3 is the curved knife base where Meng Xinye is located in the dream, and the people in charge are Shunzi and Liuliu.
Zone 2 is the Dashi base, and the people in charge are Zeng Dali and Zhen Shimei.
Sector 4 was a base selected with Chandler's help.
The original safe zone in Zone 1 was the central area of the mainland, while the core of the local area was the Good Luck Base. The base commander was changed from Shan Ran to Wendy and Wu Chuyu.
After a full day of meetings, and after the other base members left the meeting room and went to their temporary accommodations, Shan Ran finally collapsed into her chair.
"Ranran, you've worked hard. Let me give you a massage." Without saying a word, Meng Xin stood behind Shan Ran, pushed aside Ganuo who was following closely behind her, and massaged her shoulders and neck.
Shan Ran closed her eyes, sighed comfortably, spread her wings and flew away from the ship to the safe zone. After having a good talk with the surrounding bases, she was persuaded by Chandler to take over Lu Wenrou's position and become the new district chief of the safe zone.
In the following days, she was busy handling various matters and worked non-stop. Although she had the assistance of Chandler and Kunwu Yecheng, she had no political experience and was immediately put in charge, so it was difficult for her to get into the swing of things.
It's much harder than advancing your ability level.
I used to always see Lu Wenrou's tired eyes and weary gaze, and I knew she was busy, but after actually working with her, I realized just how busy she really was.
"Sister, is this comfortable?"
After being pushed aside, Gano didn't say much. Instead, he walked directly to Shanran, bent down slightly, and reached out to massage her temples.
"Hmm..."
Shan Ran couldn't control herself and a sound escaped her throat.
Both hands on his shoulders and forehead froze.
The arm was stiff, the muscles were tense, and the veins were clearly visible.
The girl on the recliner was completely unaware, her eyes closed, half asleep.
After Chandler arranged for someone to lead the heads of the various bases away, he returned to the conference room and saw this scene.
He adjusted his glasses, speaking gently and in a low voice: "Don't disturb Ranran. She's new to this job, and she's done a really good job. Let her get some rest."
Gano withdrew his hand, glancing expressionlessly at Cheadle. "I'll stay here with my sister; I'm not going anywhere."
Meng Xin glared at Jia Nuo, gritted her teeth, and forced out a sentence, "I'll stay with Ran Ran too. She'll definitely need me when she wakes up."
Chandler smiled helplessly. "Alright, you can all stay here. If you need anything, you can contact the assistant outside. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
The district head's job had just been handed over, but Chandler was actually busier than Shanran. He believed that if he did a little more, he could share more of Shanran's burden.
Meng Xin has officially left the Good Luck Base. The base leader there has changed, and Shan Ran has officially joined the Central District, so there is no need for him to stay there.
He had served as the temporary base manager of the Good Luck Base after Shan Ran left, and he had extensive management experience. Chandler assigned him a small team and gave him a field mission.
However, having not seen Shan Ran for so long, Meng Xin was unwilling to leave, so he kept delaying the mission until now.
Rhine was unconscious for a few days not long ago. After waking up, he stayed temporarily on the Second Continent, where a group of noble families had recently been detained. Dealing with them would require a lot of effort.
Not all aristocratic families are monolithic. In particular, the sudden revelation of the laboratory at Shanran has widened the rifts between the seven aristocratic families that once stood at the top.
Rhine planned to start from here, first undermining their trust from within, and then defeating them one by one. Those who could be turned against them would be turned against them, those who could be subdued would be subdued, and the tough nuts that couldn't be cracked would be killed if necessary, and if not, they would be left to be dealt with later.
Upon learning that Rhine was so busy he barely had time to breathe, Meng Xin couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Unexpectedly, Shan Ran "abandoned" Rhine on the second continent and brought back a black snake.
This black snake was clearly different from the Rhine; it had fewer worldly ties and no sense of manners or rules, its eyes only fixed on the mountain.
It is said that he used to be a loyal follower of the Gongyang family, and after he defected, he followed Shan Ran.
Is this a case of someone switching masters to become a suicide squad?
Meng Xin also disliked him.
She has an exquisite and beautiful appearance, but in private she is a ruthless assassin. Who knows what dirty deeds she used to do?
Moreover, this person is extremely strong, definitely above Meng Xinye, Kunwu Yecheng, and the others.
