Chapter 110, Chapter 10: Female Supporting Character in a Zombie Novel
Yu Wanwan certainly understood this principle as well.
To be honest, if it weren't for the threat of those damned bugs, her current arrangement would be exactly what she wanted.
After thinking it over, Yu Wanwan didn't refuse again, but instead raised a few more points.
"While building the agricultural machinery station, we should also spread the news about those insects and mutated monsters as much as possible. Since we are going to make this place our base, just a few people are definitely not enough. We can send out two special ability teams every day to rescue some more survivors and bring them back."
Hearing her additional suggestions, a hint of appreciation flashed in Xu Qingzhou's eyes.
She always has a keen eye for the key issues and a clear way of thinking.
"Spreading the word and recruiting survivors is indeed very important."
Xu Qingzhou didn't say that he had already considered these things, but simply nodded in agreement and continued along with her words.
"When Lang Ge and Jiang Yiming's teams go out to scout, they will take care of both tasks. As for the bugs..."
His brows furrowed slightly, and he looked more serious.
"We need more intelligence."
"It will happen."
The construction of agricultural machinery stations is in full swing.
Lang and his men salvaged a lot of good stuff from the old farm machinery.
Before the apocalypse, most of the team members were students from Hangzhou University.
Hangzhou University is a comprehensive 985 university, and all those who can get in are top students.
The people in the group all have their own areas of expertise.
The students took the disassembled parts and tinkered with them, and within a few days, they actually managed to repair a small generator.
Although the power is not high, it is sufficient to provide lighting for living areas and some daily necessities.
This greatly boosted morale, and all the survivors worked even harder.
The construction and security of the agricultural machinery station were entrusted to Acheng, who had experience at the base.
Lang Ge and Jiang Yiming each led a reconnaissance team, taking turns going out on missions every day.
While collecting supplies, we also gather information about the surrounding area and spread news about monsters and insects.
Bringing back new survivors proved far more difficult than they had imagined.
After receiving their message, most of the superhumans chose to change course, staying away from the monster's origin and unwilling to risk joining them.
Only a small number of lone survivors joined in; the majority were ordinary people without superpowers who had struggled to survive until now.
Xu Qingzhou doesn't accept just anyone.
He was well aware of the treacherous nature of people, and the base was newly established, so there was no room for error.
He stopped all the people with bad intentions.
Fortunately, he had enough prestige in the team, and with Yu Wanwan's support, no one would object to his decision.
Of course, while they were all busy, Yu Wanwan wasn't idle either.
She and the wood-type ability users planted many mutated plants around the city walls.
Those who have obtained the qualification to reside at the agricultural machinery station will be issued a wooden identity card provided by Yu Wanwan.
I don't know how she did it, but even though it's a wooden sign, it's impervious to swords and spears, and it can't be burned.
This sign is like an ID card for the agricultural machinery station.
Only by wearing an identification tag can one avoid being attacked by those plants when entering and exiting.
Otherwise, once you get close, you will be attacked indiscriminately by the plants.
This greatly improved the sense of security among the residents of the agricultural machinery station. They all cherished the wooden sign, even taking it with them when bathing and sleeping.
A month later, the agricultural machinery station had undergone a complete transformation.
The wall was reinforced and heightened, and a watchtower was erected.
The facility is divided into office, training, living, and planting areas.
The population is small, only about a hundred people, but it already resembles a small base.
Although the newly arrived survivors were still apprehensive about the changes in the outside world, basic order was maintained under Xu Qingzhou's strong leadership and relatively fair rules, and hope was slowly growing.
Of course, Yu Wanwan is also involved in this.
She still rarely makes a move, but when she does, it's a fatal blow; she has never missed.
Although she spends most of her time in the fields, working with wood-type ability users on plants and crops.
Yet she still became a pillar of strength for the survivors in the base.
In the hearts of these survivors, Xu Qingzhou brought them hope, while Yu Wanwan brought them peace of mind.
Looking at the agricultural machinery station, which had been completely renovated and had reached the scale of a base, Yu Wanwan thought that the time was almost right.
One evening, Yu Wanwan strolled leisurely to the training ground.
Xu Qingzhou is supervising the training of the superhumans, patiently guiding them on how to control their powers more precisely.
He once served as a high mage in the magical world.
Although I don't remember the specific events that happened in that world, the use of magic is still firmly etched in my mind.
Superpowers and magic are not the same system, but they do have things in common, so teaching some basics is not a problem.
Yu Wanwan watched from the edge for a while, and only spoke when he stopped.
"Xu Qingzhou".
Xu Qingzhou turned around, and his gaze softened instinctively when it fell on her.
He whispered a few words to the people in the training field before walking over to Yu Wanwan.
"Why did you come here?"
Yu Wanwan blinked and smiled innocently.
"I have a new idea."
Xu Qingzhou's smile deepened as he pulled her toward a chair nearby.
"Tell me about it?"
"I have two sets of exercise methods here."
Yu Wanwan knew Xu Qingzhou's abilities, so she didn't hide anything and took out two textbooks from her spatial storage and pushed them over.
"Once you practice, you'll be able to cut fruit more efficiently and run faster. Want to give it a try?"
Xu Qingzhou's eyes flickered slightly, and he vaguely realized what she was talking about.
The words on the textbook cover are also very simple.
One book is "Gymnastics," and the other is "Yoga."
"?"
It's a bit different from what I imagined.
He suppressed his doubts and opened the book "Gymnastics".
Inside are simple, drawn figures in all sorts of strange poses.
The drawing is very simple, even a bit ugly.
But it doesn't affect understanding.
Next to each little figure, there are lengthy annotations.
That familiar handwriting...it's hers.
His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately flipped to another book.
This book is about superpowers, which are different from the ones that the general public is familiar with, such as those that rely on absorbing crystal cores to enhance abilities.
This section details how to sense energy in the air, guide that energy into the body, and refine and purify it.
Xu Qingzhou's eyes were somewhat burning.
He had considered integrating magical cultivation into his supernatural abilities.
During this time, I have been thinking about how to integrate these two fundamentally different but somewhat similar systems to create a new technique.
For him, taking a strategic and insightful approach is not difficult.
It's a pity that he was a strong person, but not a good teacher.
The method he devised only works for people with good comprehension and talent, and cannot be widely promoted.
The two textbooks that Yu Wanwan presented were insightful yet easy to understand.
Not only are there those with superpowers, but there are also those targeting ordinary people.
So, she really wasn't Xia Weiwei.
How could the real Xia Weiwei possibly know these things?
Xu Qingzhou took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions surging in his heart; his throat felt a little dry.
"You created this yourself?"
"How is that possible?"
She couldn't hide the smug look on her face, yet she still made things up as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Traditional broadcast gymnastics and health-preserving yoga are great for strengthening your body; you deserve to try them!"
"..."
Seeing her spouting nonsense with absolutely no intention of paying attention, Xu Qingzhou was not surprised at all; her mood was frighteningly calm.
He didn't press for details, pretending to believe her nonsense and nodding.
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
Yu Wanwan smiled with a hint of satisfaction.
"Okay, I'll head back now."
He looked as if he had no idea of the enormous impact these two "textbooks" would have, or the power they represented.
But Xu Qingzhou knew very well that she wasn't unaware, she just didn't care.
Shaking his head, Xu Qingzhou put the textbook into his spatial storage and followed her outside.
"I send you."
Long before Yu Wanwan took out these two textbooks, Xu Qingzhou had already conceived of the cultivation process.
Now, there's absolutely no need to think; the usage of the textbook just pops into my head.
A few days later, two huge, simple posters were put up in the mission hall, which had been converted from the original warehouse.
One of them was "Radio Gymnastics Volume 1," and the little figures drawn on it were no longer the ugly-cute stick figures from the textbook Yu Wanwan had given them.
Instead, they are exquisitely crafted chibi-style characters.
Next to each little figure, the key points of the movements and breathing coordination are neatly marked.
The other one is "Health Yoga Volume 1", which is similar in content to the one about radio calisthenics, but is more profound.
Each poster indicates the target group for the training.
At the same time, a new regulation was also promulgated.
The published content is free, and all residents of the base, regardless of their status, are welcome to learn. Instructors will lead practice sessions in the square every morning and evening.
However, the undisclosed content can only be purchased using base points.
At first, no one paid attention to the newly posted posters and rules.
However, there were also many people who had great faith in Xu Qingzhou and Yu Wanwan. They thought that since following along to practice wouldn't interfere with anything and could also improve their health, they would go to the square every morning and evening.
Most of these people were elderly, ordinary people without superpowers.
For them, it's as simple and easy as going to square dancing before the apocalypse.
A week later, an ordinary person who was on a mission with the team jumped three meters away when he was almost caught by a mutated monster.
The superhuman quickly dealt with the zombies, then strangely ran up to the man and circled him several times.
"Old Fang, when did you become able to jump this far?"
The man called Lao Fang was a small old man in his sixties.
He has no special abilities and is quite old, so he usually does logistical work at the base.
The reason he came out this time was because his daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby.
In a way, their family was lucky. When the apocalypse came, everyone in their family was at home, and their son and daughter-in-law both awakened superpowers.
After the apocalypse came, considering that their daughter-in-law was pregnant, the family didn't dare to go outside and survived by scavenging food that their neighbors hadn't had time to take away in the apartment building.
They received no news when the base was built, nor did they receive any news about the appearance of the monsters.
They were so lucky that they survived until Xu Qingzhou and his team went out to collect supplies, found them, and brought them back to the base.
Now there's a fragile baby in the family, and a daughter-in-law who hasn't finished her postpartum confinement. With his meager income from logistics work and his son's work outside, there's simply no way he can support the whole family.
He felt that his body wasn't so bad that he couldn't go out, so he gritted his teeth and signed up to go out and do missions.
Old Fang himself was also confused, looking at his own feet and then at the ground where the monster had smashed a big crater.
"Huh? I... have I awakened a superpower?"
