"Let's go, I'll go with you."
Wei Lun smiled, took Qin Mutong's hand, and headed towards the city wall at the main north gate.
At that time, Wei Lun, clad in graphene armor, looked like a superhero. This image was deeply imprinted in Qin Mutong's mind, lingering there for a long time.
While the zombies are now a greater threat than before, the guards are also constantly getting stronger.
In addition, the patrols by combat robots have become routine throughout the Guardian Group, and there are also timely warnings from the field bases when zombies appear.
Basically, the headquarters has security guarantees, so after the Guardian Group expanded its operations, a large number of humans poured in.
The Guardian Group currently has a total of 20,000 members, making it arguably the largest human settlement in Changhan City.
The guard has also expanded, now numbering three thousand, but its focus is misaligned between core combat and support operations.
The difference in treatment is also significant. Core units can frequently enjoy braised pork trotters with rice and fresh fruits and vegetables, while support units mostly eat steamed buns and noodles.
In short, regardless of the circumstances, these guards were considered very fortunate by ordinary people.
In today's terms, it's a sure thing to get a civil service job with a permanent position in a public institution. It's extremely difficult for the average person to get in!
"Honey, now that we have such a big career, what should we do next?"
Qin Mutong is, after all, a woman, and she carries an increasingly heavy responsibility. With the survival of tens of thousands of people at stake, she is also thinking about what the future of the Guardian Group will be like.
Moreover, it would be a great loss if such a large population could not be fully utilized.
"You're absolutely right, but I'm still considering it."
"Perhaps we should connect the whole country!"
As Wei Lun spoke, he pulled Qin Mutong up the city wall stairs together. The guards along the way saluted the two of them.
Everyone agreed that two bigwigs had personally come out to inspect the area. In reality, Qin Mutong simply wanted to stroll around with the guards.
"Nationwide connectivity?"
"Honey, do you mean we should gather all the survivors in the country now?"
Qin Mutong was somewhat surprised. This kind of life had made her quite comfortable; she hadn't expected Wei Lun to be thinking about connecting the whole country.
This means that diplomatically, we will need to engage with all forces across the country, which will inevitably involve both friendly and treacherous interactions.
Crisis will dominate; the apocalypse is not a time of peace. Even if there is cooperation now, it's only for survival. As long as they can live, everyone will stop at nothing.
Moreover, with the connection between satellites and AI, almost everyone in the country now knows that a group called the Guardian Group possesses a large amount of food.
Their guards are all equipped with laser weapons, as well as armor and powered exoskeletons. Furthermore, they have tanks, helicopters, and armed robots—they have it all.
This kind of power is among the top in the country, but some people may have ulterior motives. Why does the Guardian Group have so much equipment? Is there an even more powerful force behind them?
In an era where human life was as cheap as grass, where did these foods come from?
Once contact is made with forces across the country, the issue of territory will arise, leading to resistance and rejection.
This is the biggest challenge at present, and perhaps this opportunity can be used to test the combat capabilities of the guards.
"My current idea is to first make the first round of diplomatic contact with all the forces involved."
"Then we will select some forces that are willing to cooperate with us and give up some of their interests, and together we will form an alliance."
"This may offend some organizations, but it is the only way to bring humanity back to a peaceful world."
“If none of us are willing to do it, then no one else will be.”
As Wei Lun pondered, he spoke with a sense of anticipation, these were all matters that needed to be put on the agenda.
The two stood together atop the city wall, gazing at the boundless world of ruins.
The Guardian Group has become a paradise on earth, but even such a paradise, without sufficient strength, might one day turn into ruins.
Protecting one's homeland is the greatest pressure and responsibility.
The two of them, standing atop the city wall, seemed to be the most romantic and happiest people in the world.
...
Unfortunately, Du Kun overreacted. After discovering the plasma thruster, his first thought was to launch a rocket.
Coincidentally, this research institute still preserves complete production machinery and materials.
Perhaps the scavengers of the past never even set foot in this research institute, which is why it is so well preserved.
Time-traveling headphones
"Boss, boss, we've struck it rich!"
"This is not a research institute at all. The sign outside is just a deception. This is actually a real production base."
"Moreover, based on the data and production machinery inside, we are fully capable of launching a rocket and sending a satellite into space!"
"Boss, don't worry, I know..."
Du Kun began to explain slowly, revealing that launching satellites into space had significant advantages.
Current smart devices connect to outdated satellites, resulting in poor signal strength. More importantly, there's no maintenance, and the service may suddenly stop at any time.
Now let's launch a satellite ourselves and set some initial requirements.
In this way, we can unite the power of humanity in this era to rebuild a new home.
This power, as it spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, will make everyone extremely united.
Because of dedicated management, the AI will display a wealth of information beneficial to survival, and thanks to the Guardian Group's background, it can prioritize providing a large amount of survival resources.
Over time, all the survivors will vie to connect to the Guardian Group's satellites.
"Du Kun, don't you know I'm shopping right now?"
After listening for a while, Wei Lun suddenly blurted out this sentence, which shows that Qin Mutong is the most important person in his heart right now.
Speaking of the apocalypse, when he first arrived here, he was still single, and Qin Mutong was his first woman.
The reason they kept going back and forth to the apocalypse was because of Qin Mutong's existence.
If it weren't for her, perhaps Wei Lun would never have come back, to escape the harsh living conditions here.
Now, Du Kun has clearly disrupted their date.
"Boss, uh... sorry."
Du Kun choked on his water and, not knowing what to say, apologized repeatedly.
"It's nothing, I was just joking with you. Since you want to launch a satellite, then I approve your permission to start researching rockets and satellites."
"As long as you can launch it into space, I'll take care of all the resources needed afterward. Let's get to work!"
Wei Lun laughed and said, "I hope that one day, the Weishi Group's satellite will really be able to launch into space!"
