Chapter 306 The Third Expansion of Survivors
There were more than 700 survivors recruited this time, and many people with special abilities on Yuanhuan Mountain joined Shitou Mountain.
Now, there are only a group of low-level psychics and a few scattered psychics who are unwilling to join Stone Mountain and prefer to live alone on the surrounding mountains.
On Tan Shengting’s cargo ship, most of the people with special abilities also chose to leave.
"We will provide adult plants to other psychics who cannot join Stone Mountain. You can cultivate them on your own." Luo Yunjin said softly.
The rocky mountain is now overgrown with vegetation, while the neighboring mountains are barren.
"The main reason we're recruiting so many people to form a team of psychics is to defend against attacks from high-level psychics in other bases and zombie invasions. Haicheng has suffered many disasters in the past five months, and we must work together to protect our home."
This group of people with special abilities who went up the mountain were all placed in staff dormitories at 200 and 300 meters away. Every day, veteran people with special abilities on the mountain would be arranged to take them to familiarize themselves with the work on the mountain.
"You will divide the work and cooperate with each other. Get familiar with the work in one place every day, and then choose the area you want to work after the usage period. Currently, the watchtower, swimming pool, employee cafeteria, and cinema are all short of employees. In addition, the psychic team is also forming members. Water-based and planting-based psychics can also choose to work in lakes and plantations. Of course, you can choose to live on your own in the mountains." Duan Ya said to everyone.
"I heard that the speed of advancement for those with special abilities who live in the mountains will be increased. Is this true?" Liu Yuanzi raised her hand.
"The fruits and vegetables on our Stone Mountain have a certain effect in improving superpowers. Plus, the scenery here is beautiful, so it's normal for us to advance quickly."
"Can we also set up a stall at the night market at the foot of the mountain?" Tian Fengshu asked.
"Yes, but the goods you use to set up your stall at the foot of the mountain must be those you grow or make yourself. We only provide the infrastructure. You are strictly prohibited from bringing mutant plants from the mountain or your daily supplies down to sell."
"Is there a hierarchy of status on the mountain? I heard that we can't go to the top of the mountain at will." Zhong Yang was a little curious. He felt that there must be a secret on the top of the Stone Mountain.
"The top of the mountain is where the first group of psychics came to build the mountain. The Rose Team's residence and the canteen's main supplies, including vegetables and fruits, all come from the orchard and vegetable garden on the top of the mountain. A powerful electric grid has been set up on the top of the mountain. If you advance to become a star-level psychic, you can join the Rose Team and live on the top of the mountain." Duan Ya frowned.
"So, as long as you are promoted to a star-level mutant, you will have the opportunity to live on the top of the mountain?" Ji Yuejiang stood up and asked.
"Yes, there are currently 24 star-level esperants and 103 ninth-level esperants on Stone Mountain. Becoming a ninth-level esper will give you the opportunity to participate in our assessments and live in an area near the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is rich in mutant plants, which is more conducive to advancement."
Everyone was a little excited, but what reassured them the most was the proportion of high-level psychics on the mountain. There were currently 921 psychics in total, and 127 of them were at level nine or above.
This number already exceeds many large bases.
Many people have lived in the base and know that this number means that Stone Mountain will be able to fight even if it faces a zombie tide and other bases competing for resources.
There are many man-made lakes on Stone Mountain, and water-based abilities regularly add water every day, making the water resources abundant. Many newcomers to the mountain haven't had drinking water for a long time, so the first thing they do when they arrive here is drink water.
There is no shortage of people with water-related abilities on the mountain, and there is an ample supply of water.
There are also several small ponds behind the staff dormitories at 200 meters and 300 meters. The trees on the mountain block out the sun, making it very cool here.
There are many orchards and mutant animal gathering places randomly distributed on the mountain, but the closer you get to the foot of the mountain, the fewer fruit trees and animals there are. Most of them are wild weeds, and there are few people walking in the mountains.
Most of the people with special abilities live halfway up the mountain, so there are many uninhabited areas on the stone mountain, but the scenery here is beautiful and very quiet.
Ji Yuejiang liked this mountain very much. He found many steep cliffs near the watchtower 300 meters away. From here he could overlook the scenery of the entire Haicheng, and he would not feel hot even if he rested here during the day.
Tan Shengting did not choose to go up the mountain, and continued to live on the cargo ship with a group of psychics. He looked unreliable, but he was actually very responsible. There were still many low-level psychics and ordinary people on the cargo ship who needed to be supported.
However, most of the psychics on the cargo ship went to Stone Mountain, and they also promised to send a batch of supplies to the cargo ship regularly.
Yuan Huan transferred almost all the high-level psychics on his mountain to Stone Mountain. All of them were survivors of the previous Haicheng underground base.
The first time Niu Bi went up the mountain, he was shocked by the trees here. He couldn't imagine how powerful the ability of the planting-type mutant must be to produce such plants.
The strength of the more than 900 psychics on Stone Mountain is now comparable to that of many large bases, and is even comparable to the central base.
People on other mountains outside Stone Mountain gradually received the plant seedlings distributed by Luo Yunjin, and they planted them together on the mountains.
The plants grown on the rocky mountains are very tenacious. Even if they are transplanted to other places, they can generally survive as long as they are planted properly.
A safe zone has been formed here with the Stone Mountain as the center and other small hills as its subsidiary areas.
Almost all the zombies in Haicheng were wiped out.
The only threat is the nearby sea.
However, there are cargo ships stationed on the coast, and any problems will be notified in time, so everyone's life has entered a period of prosperity.
Within half a month, all the probationary employees passed the probation and got formal jobs. They were able to choose their own place to live in the mountains and build their own houses.
Qian Yuanfeng moved the hotel halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain and handed it over to the night market for operation. Many people with special abilities who came from other places can rest here, but of course they need to pay crystal cores.
As Stone Mountain became more and more famous, many survivors came here to visit.
Although they missed the opportunity to recruit people at Stone Mountain, they all rented caves on the mountain next door and waited for Stone Mountain to recruit people there.
Gradually, Haicheng once again became a gathering place for survivors, and its scale slightly exceeded that of the central base, becoming one of the largest gathering places for survivors on Blue Star.
Lan Xinya has been living in the tent for more than half a month. The psychics from the Beiming base have not taken any action yet. The group of people have become much more Buddhist. Every day at the night market, they can buy a lot of fruits and vegetables with very few crystal cores. They all want to live out their retirement here.
"You guys should at least send me back to the central base..." Lan Xinya was speechless. It's not that she didn't want to find other people, but now the psychics here seem to have become particularly Buddhist.
"To be honest, even the central base might not be as comfortable as here, so don't go back. I have you guys here, and we'll take you out for a good meal every day."
Lan Xinya was speechless about this group of people without ambition.
She is on Stone Mountain's blacklist, and even if she has supernatural powers, Stone Mountain is unwilling to recruit her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of returning to the central base. Although Si Sepi is no longer there, she still has many old subordinates, so she will definitely have a chance to survive if she goes back.
Yesterday, Li Wu went down the mountain and reminded her in both explicit and implicit ways to hurry up. Shen Junxie's patience had reached its limit.
Lan Xinya is now in a dilemma.
But she soon figured out a way.
The group of people with special abilities who went up the mountain half a month ago advanced one after another yesterday. Almost all of them advanced. Such a large-scale promotion naturally attracted the attention of many people.
This means that there must be secrets in the mountains that can help people upgrade.
Without Lan Xinya specifically naming them, all the psychics lurking in the external base outside the mountain were alarmed.
You have to know that all the recruits this time are people with abilities above level five. It would be fine if only a few people were upgraded, but now hundreds of people have been upgraded collectively, which shocked them all.
Materials are only one aspect. In the end times, strength is everything.
No one doesn't want to be a strong person.
Now that those people are within reach, such a deviation naturally makes many people unwilling.
"In fact, I have long suspected that the feng shui of this stone mountain is good. The supernatural people on the mountain advance very quickly. Even the small supernatural people who run a night market at the foot of our mountain have occasionally benefited from it. I think it all comes down to those fruits and vegetables. After eating them, you can clearly feel the improvement of supernatural powers." The vendor selling leaf marshmallows said with some envy.
"But as Stone Mountain becomes stronger, our safety can be guaranteed. There haven't been riots here for a long time, and people live and work in peace and contentment," said the knife vendor with emotion.
There are many people with special abilities who came from other places living in the hotel at the foot of Stone Mountain. They were very excited when they heard the news, and they were particularly concerned about the first batch of recruits at the foot of Stone Mountain. They decided that even if Stone Mountain no longer recruits people, they will settle here directly.
Many trees planted on the neighboring mountains have survived, and many survivors on the stone mountain also come to the night market at night to set up stalls to sell finished plants or seedlings, making it convenient for everyone to plant on their own mountains.
Who doesn’t want to own a hill full of trees and vegetation? Even if it is small, it is still your own home.
Among them, Shen Junxie was particularly serious.
Because Yuan Huan moved all the psychics on the mountain to Stone Mountain, now apart from Stone Mountain, the mountain with the most psychics nearby is their small earth mountain.
There is a group of Shen Junxie's die-hard fans in the mountain. Even though their supernatural powers are very high and meet the requirements of Stone Mountain, they are still unwilling to leave.
Many scattered low-level psychics who failed to find shelter chose to join Shen Junxie's team.
Therefore, people are planting trees on the mountain every day.
They specially assigned earth-type psychics to cultivate the saplings with the cleanest soil, almost filling the area around the cave where they lived, and then asked planting-type psychics to be responsible for promoting their growth.
These plants that grew from the rocky mountains had strong vitality. They grew rapidly under the nourishment of the supernatural power. Soon, the area around the cave was full of trees. It was the most successful planting on these mountains.
Shen Junxie was very satisfied with the result.
He began to increase the workload and asked everyone to build tree houses in the woods to escape the summer heat. This way, they no longer had to live in narrow, dark and earthy caves, and everyone's quality of life was greatly improved.
Many people with special abilities on the hill went to Shen Junxie to learn from him, and some even joined Shen Junxie's team directly.
Shen Junxie did not have any requirements when recruiting people, and even ordinary people were willing to accept them. This led to the growing power of Xiaotushan, making it the second largest mountain in Haicheng.
"We are planning to go to the Xisui base to find a batch of new seeds suitable for planting. We are currently short of a lot of tropical fruits." Luo Yunjin recently wanted to change the fruits to make fried yogurt, but the variety of fruits at home was still not enough.
Moreover, the drinks in the space were almost used up. She heard that there was a large warehouse in the Xisui base, which also stored a batch of pre-apocalyptic snacks and drinks. She planned to go there with Lin Xi to exchange some.
It just so happens that there is also a thunder bead in the Xisui base.
This time, Luo Yunjin did not bring anyone else with him. He just went with Lin Xi, and treated it as a fresh air trip.
Little Axun has his second brother and little tabby to help take care of him.
"I'll be in touch anytime via the intercom. If you need help carrying anything, please let me know."
They are still ready to drive the flying car.
The only difference is that this time the flying function was not used, but it was driven directly on land so that the surrounding terrain could be observed.
Luo Yunjin hadn't been out for a long time and didn't know what the road looked like now.
The Xisui base is more than 3,000 kilometers away from Haicheng. If the driving is smooth, it will take about three days, and you can also look for supplies along the way.
Although most of the houses on the ground have been washed away by the previous floods, some high-rise buildings have not been completely destroyed.
They were very low-key and drove out in the early morning.
However, the tents stationed outside the mountain were always paying attention to the movements of the Stone Mountain. When they saw a car driving out, they immediately arranged to drive after it.
Lan Xinya also sneaked into the car of Beiming Base.
Luo Yunjin sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window. The water on both sides of the road had dried up, the ground was cracked, there had been no vehicles or pedestrians on the road for a long time, the concrete surface was also cracking, and the land was uneven.
Many large bridges on the water collapsed, and the entire earth looked lifeless under the sunlight.
Even with the air conditioner on in the car, the high temperature of over 60 degrees Celsius made the windows extremely hot.
When the sun rises completely, if you look directly at the sunlight outside without wearing sunglasses, your eyes will feel stinging.
The car slowly drove past a dilapidated toll booth.
Behind the loess mountain is a ruined town with collapsed houses. It is difficult to find an intact house.
The original Haicheng was a relatively well-preserved city, but now it has become a ruin.
The path was rugged, and occasionally you could see a skinny zombie walking stupidly on the road. The zombie would not chase after the car when it saw it.
In hot weather, these zombies also look listless.
As we sailed out of Haicheng, the land became even more cracked. All the zombies had turned into mummies, walking with difficulty like skeletons. The zombies, which should have been extremely ferocious due to not eating for a long time, had become very weak.
Luo Yunjin saw many zombies showing off their abdominal muscles after being exposed to the sun.
Especially some skinny and dark-skinned zombies, they might have been muscular men before they turned into zombies. After turning into zombies, the moisture in their bodies was evaporated by the sun, and the outlines of their muscles became more obvious.
I have to say, if these zombies had a complete face, they would all be handsome young men.
The next stop after Haicheng is Y City.
In the original book, Luo Yunjin's home is in Y City. The ruins can be seen from afar, and several tall buildings are vaguely visible. Bursts of gray smoke rise from the city, dyeing the nearby sky gray.
"There's a car following us." Lin Xi glanced at the rearview mirror, his eyes darkening.
In fact, the distance between vehicles is still quite far, but star-level psychics generally have more sensitive five senses and can sense the sound of vehicles driving behind them.
