Chapter 111, Female Supporting Character in a Zombie Novel
The team leader sensed it carefully and shook his head.
"Probably not."
There is usually a connection between people with superpowers.
Except for some special abilities, such as spatial and mental abilities, they will not be detected.
But judging from Lao Fang's performance just now, if he has awakened a superpower, it's unlikely to be a spatial or mental ability; it's more like a power ability.
Old Fang was somewhat disappointed, but even more bewildered.
"That's strange..."
"Uncle Fang, what have you been up to lately?"
Old Fang thought about it carefully and shook his head.
"No, besides working in the fields every day, I also go to the square to dance with everyone in the morning and evening..."
He paused, as if suddenly remembering something.
The other team members also reacted immediately.
The group exchanged glances and suddenly became excited.
"Holy crap! Isn't that just simple calisthenics?"
"I should have known! How could Brother Zhou be so bored as to make everyone do calisthenics? And it's outrageous that he'd have to use points to exchange for something that hasn't been announced yet!"
"Damn! Why didn't I think of that before!"
"Hurry up! Finish the task and go back to check!"
A group of people, as if injected with adrenaline, charged towards the horde of zombies and fought with great enthusiasm.
And Old Fang, this little old man in his sixties, wasn't much slower than them.
He ran with incredible speed, not much slower than those with superpowers, and wielded his knife with incredible skill when slashing zombies. You couldn't tell at all that he was an old man with gray hair.
After returning to base and turning in their mission, the group immediately rushed towards the poster that had been posted.
The superpowered individuals were all gathered around the "Health and Wellness Yoga" poster. They didn't bother to wait until evening to go to the square; they stood in front of the poster and tentatively tried to imitate the little figures' annotations.
Their unusual behavior drew the attention of everyone in the mission hall, who stopped to look over.
I don't know if it's because Yu Wanwan's teaching materials are really easy to understand, or if these superhumans have pretty good talent and comprehension.
One of the ice-type ability users actually advanced to the next level after following along and performing a set of yoga poses!
This situation caused the other superhumans to widen their eyes in surprise.
The ice-type ability user opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body. Unable to contain himself, he raised his hand and unleashed an ice spike.
"I...I've advanced?!"
He was both surprised and delighted, his voice trembling with excitement, filled with disbelief.
Some people in the mission hall recognized him and knew something about his situation.
This person has been stuck at this stage for a long time, and has absorbed a lot of crystal cores, but has been unable to cross that barrier.
But now...
"Xiao Zhang, weren't you stuck for almost a month? How did you break through?"
Xiao Zhang, the ice-type ability user, was still somewhat dazed and answered subconsciously.
"I just followed this yoga routine once, and I broke through!"
This was like a drop of water being poured into boiling oil; the mission hall instantly erupted into chaos.
"Holy crap?! Really? You advanced just by doing a few moves?"
They said they didn't believe it, but their bodies told them the truth. One by one, they squeezed under the poster and started to imitate the actions shown on it.
"Make way! Make way! Don't push me! I haven't seen it clearly yet!"
"Stop pushing! Stop pushing! Who the hell stepped on my foot?!"
"Where's the logistics team? Can't they do something about this? Let me out!"
Amidst the commotion, Xu Qingning finally arrived late with her entourage.
She wore a red armband, held a small megaphone, and started shouting at the top of her lungs with her hands on her hips.
"Don't push! Those of you who want to learn can bring your own paper and pen to copy it! Or you can come to the square to practice in the morning and evening!"
"Now! Anyone who blocks or causes trouble here will have points deducted!"
With the help of logistics personnel, the chaotic crowd gradually quieted down.
Some people ran out to get paper and pens, while others lined up and sat down in front of the poster to look at it.
After calming these people down, Xu Qingning wiped the sweat from her brow and calmly led her team back to their posts.
From that day on, the square was filled with people morning and night, whether they were ordinary people or people with superpowers. Apart from those who were still on guard duty and patrolling, no one was absent.
Even young children were brought over by the adults in their families and made to learn from them.
And the already diligent people worked even harder.
The points system established by the base used to be a guarantee of their livelihood, but now it is a passport to strength!
The atmosphere of the entire base changed dramatically overnight.
Previously, some people might have been lazy and tried to shirk their duties, but now, they wish they could spend 24 hours a day doing tasks to earn points.
The immense power was blatantly displayed. The allure of earning it through effort was irresistible in this apocalyptic world where survival was precarious.
Yu Wanwan and Xu Qingzhou stood at the office window, looking out at the crowded square.
Xu Qingzhou gave a faint smile.
"The results were even better than expected."
Yu Wanwan nodded, her face full of self-righteousness.
"Of course."
A year is enough time for a ruin to be reborn.
The once-abandoned agricultural machinery station is now a well-known "base of hope".
However, that's how outsiders refer to them; internally, they still simply call themselves an agricultural base.
An agricultural base focused on infrastructure development, resource collection, and farming.
The base has expanded considerably, encompassing the surrounding villages.
Today, this base is as large as a city before the apocalypse.
The towering city walls are covered with countless vines, and plants that can kill silently are planted on the roads around the walls, forming a natural barrier.
The watchtower is manned 24 hours a day, and the beams of searchlights regularly sweep across the surrounding wilderness at night.
Inside the city walls, it was divided into two areas.
The surrounding area is lined with neat residential areas.
The central area, on the other hand, is the administrative district and the command center.
Military forces and research institutes are all located here.
As the base gradually expands, more and more residents come to visit.
In the past year, what was once a small base with only a hundred or so people has grown into a behemoth.
The surrounding residential areas alone have nearly 10,000 residents.
Of course, scientific research capabilities are also developing in the same way.
Hydropower has long been available throughout the base, and even network and communication systems have been restored.
The place is well-ordered, everyone has a job, and the points system works smoothly.
Crystal cores, once essential for the advancement of superhumans, have now become the base's common currency.
Today, the agricultural base has stopped accepting survivors and is focusing on its own development.
Those gifted individuals who were invited but declined are now filled with regret.
Unfortunately, there's no going back.
Without the base owner's permission, they would have a hard time even getting close to the base, let alone sneaking in.
The biggest change comes from people.
The base square was packed with people in the early morning.
Regardless of age, gender, or whether they were gifted or ordinary, everyone was uniformly doing calisthenics and health yoga.
A year has passed, and many people have cultivated to more profound methods, but they still continue to follow the most basic first volume as before.
For them, this is like a habit, and also a way to solidify their foundation.
The agricultural base has long since developed to the point where the entire population is mobilized for military service.
Xu Qingzhou stood by the window of the command room, looking down at the impressive morning exercise scene below.
His aura remained unchanged, just like that of the college student he once was.
"Recent reports from our outreach teams indicate that the zombies and monsters in the area have become more organized, and the monsters have expanded their range of activity. Those insects are probably about to make a big move."
Yu Wanwan remained unchanged, still looking listless and languid, nestled on the sofa playing with the straw bracelet on her wrist.
He hummed in response before slowly opening his mouth.
"Now that the communication network is back, it's time to let those bases outside know."
Xu Qingzhou showed no surprise.
He knew from the moment she took out those two textbooks that she couldn't possibly be just trying to help him.
What do you want to do?
He had a general idea in mind, but he still needed to see what she thought.
"It's time for more people to see those two textbooks."
Just as I expected.
We were thinking the same thing.
Xu Qingzhou smiled and sat down next to Yu Wanwan.
"I will proactively contact known survivor bases in the name of the agricultural base to share the latest information on the mutated insect monsters. At the same time, I will make the first volume of 'Radio Gymnastics' and the first volume of 'Health Yoga' available to any survivor free of charge. They can receive and learn through our broadcast frequency or send someone to our place to copy them."
Yu Wanwan shook her head.
"That's too much trouble."
Xu Qingzhou paused, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"you mean……"
Yu Wanwan smiled gently, touching her chin.
"Just mass-produce the first volume and give it to everyone you meet!"
"..."
Mass production?
Give it to anyone you meet?
That's too ruthless.
His method can indeed benefit all of humanity.
But it's obvious that unless those base leaders are stupid, they would never give it away to their subordinates for free.
The premise of taking care of those at the bottom is that they must first ensure that their own interests are not shaken.
That's what he did back then.
If he hadn't possessed a more profound and sophisticated technique, he wouldn't have handed over the first volume so easily.
But by doing this, she has completely cut off the path for those in power to hoard their possessions and use them to seek personal gain and consolidate their power.
Even so, this approach can sow the seeds of this power in the fastest and widest way, increasing the survival rate of survivors at the bottom.
As for whether such a move will make him enemies?
After thinking about her unfathomable strength, Xu Qingzhou shook his head.
Who can beat her?
Besides, he's still here.
Moreover, the fact that the agricultural base took the initiative to distribute these two textbooks on a large scale, free of charge, was such a tremendous contribution and brought him such prestige that he could complete his task in an instant!
After weighing the pros and cons in a flash, Xu Qingzhou nodded without hesitation.
"Alright, I'll give the order right away!"
