Yan Xin finally brought them back. The team members who were disturbed by those people peeping outside and surrounded the entire building finally regained their backbone.
The situation in the base is obviously different. The cautiousness cultivated from the journey prevented anyone from going out to inquiry about the situation. They all temporarily stayed back.
After seeing Yan Xin return, everyone rushed to the gate.
Yan Xin turned his head and left a sentence to those who were trying to follow: “We’ll go and count the residences and materials on the agreement we signed when we left.” After that, he told two physique abilities to close the door, and blocked those outside from looking inside…
After gathering everyone together, He Zizhong built a simple wind wall that could block certain sounds to block people from prying in the doors and windows. Only then did Yan Xin explain the situation to everyone.
“…Now the upper levels in the base have undergone a complete change. It’s now jointly controlled by dozens of large and small teams of ability users and some military personnel who hold military power.” Saying that, Yan Xin looked around the crowd. ” I am going to build a new team based on our original members. We will not stop those who want to leave and find friends and relatives. Everyone can take away their crystal nuclei, food supplies, and personal belongings. We will not embarrass everyone.”
Yan Xin is sure that the original soldiers he brought from the base will not leave and will definitely follow him. Not to mention the Overlord team, who are under his own wife (husband?) – they have long agreed to follow him after this operation. Halfway through the trip, Guo Bing also shared his mind to cooperate, which He Zizhong and Fang Hao did not object to. Regardless of the rest, with only these people, his team will be a good four to five hundred. It doesn’t matter if the rest leave. What’s more, he believed that even among the remaining people, more than half of them will be willing to stay.
The result was beyond Yan Xin’s expectation, but also in his expectation. No one proposed to leave, and everyone was prepared to stay.
He was a little puzzled though. His attitude on the road wasn’t friendly, so how could he have so much charm for everyone to be willing to stay?
The reason why everyone decided to stay is probably because they are all level 3 abilities. Although they may become leaders if they go to other places, when they go out to fight and gather crystal nuclei, it is safer to act with people with the same power and strength.
Yan Xin didn’t know that although he was cold-faced the entire trip, he left the impression of being a strong leader in the hearts of most people. Those ability users who have experienced a lot after the end of the world would rather work under this kind of person looking after and really thinks for his subordinates, rather than someone else.
It’s all hard work, so maybe they can live a little longer with Yan Xin! It’s better than giving their lives to a stranger who might be jealous, right?
Most of the people who had backers and made trouble died on the way. Even if there are those with thoughts among the remaining people, after comparing the strength of the team led by Yan Xin, they all decided to stay.
Seeing the unexpectedly good result, Yan Xin nodded, and asked his deputy to explain that the original residences left in the base were likely to be occupied by people, and for them to take out the contracts they signed to get an accounting from the base.
The original residence can be returned, but some materials may not be returned. What’s more, the base is now a mass of loose sand, and no one is in the same mind. In the face of so many “bills”, no one wants to stand out.
Even if some people have the intention to draw Yan Xin over, seeing these “bills”… In order to win these masters, they need to repay the bills first… Who should take the first step?
Those people gathered together and quarreled for more than an hour before they managed to reach an agreement. Supplies are probably impossible to return. Even if they found the heads of those people, no one would be willing to spit them out, so it can only wait till later.
As for everyone’s residence… those who have the ability to occupy the houses in the villa’s district are not so easy to offend. Many of them were divided up and some bosses even lived in them, therefore, they’re not easy to spit out either.
Yan Xin didn’t embarrass everyone when he arrived, and only said a few requirements.
First, a stronghold – this is easy to solve. Their cars are parked in the shopping mall, so they simply handed over this temporarily unused shopping mall to Yan Xin and his forces.
Second, materials – all of them are replaced with grain, gasoline, or crystal nucleus. They don’t need to compensate everything, as long as they compensate a part of it.
Seeing that that equipment is still in the hands of others, and the other party’s strength is so high, no one dared say anything. They could only spread the debt around after returning. All forces want to speak in the base now, but in order to speak, they have to bear the debt owed by the previous regime. Otherwise who would believe that you can hold this position? Some people will use it to pull you down!
Therefore, this matter was also resolved.
Yan Xin’s third requirement is to establish a new force, and he also wants to take part in the equipment for producing food. This is also possible. Anyway, so many people attended the meeting, and most set their sights on the Song family. Everyone was thinking about secretly getting the Song family’s equipment. Whoever has the ability to grab it, the profit will be even greater! The equipment is privately owned. As such, this was also settled fairly quickly.
In fact, after everyone learned that their houses were occupied, it was estimated that they would not be able to return it. Therefore, it is not unacceptable for the other party to give this mall out. But for issues such as partitioning, building rooms, etc., the base needs to provide them with building materials.
They have plant abilities and earth abilities, but still need to find people for certain materials, and can’t build everything themselves.
This mall is big enough, with two floors in total. The basement floor can park their vehicles. The first floor can be converted into a meeting room, and a production room for things like the two sets of equipment Yan Xin and them others secretly hid, and functional rooms, such as medical rooms. The rest can be allocated as need be.
The second floor is planned to be divided into rooms for everyone to live in. This project isn’t too big, but will take some time.
As for the top floor of the shopping mall, it was not empty. It was used to grow vegetables. After getting some soil from outside the city, they can leave it to the team’s plant ability users, and the logistics to manage.
After the agreement was reached, the other party left after inspecting the two sets of food-producing equipment on their trucks.Yan Xin’s conditions are very clear, one hand is handing over things and the other hand is equipment. They at least have to bring clay, seeds, gasoline and other things they need first before they can give them these two sets of equipment.
Clay is used to partition the rooms. Even if earth abilities wants to build a building, they need raw materials. It is impossible to conjure a house out of thin air.
Not to mention seeds – Yan Xin needs plant seeds that his team does not have, whether it is food or vegetables or trees that can be used for building materials.
Gasoline is even more indispensable. The importance of gasoline in the apocalypse is absolutely irreplaceable. Putting aside vehicle consumption, starting the two sets of equipment they left behind needs electricity. Where does electricity come from? Don’t they have to use gasoline or diesel generators?
As for other supplies… they won’t want less.
This shopping mall was not used before the end of the world, so it was still bare inside and out. There were no partitions for stores, so it was convenient for them to design and rebuild.
Yan Xin led the people upstairs and downstairs for a long time. After confirming that the people at the base had removed all the things that originally belonged to the base, he ordered: “Close the door.”
The earth abilities quickly began to build walls around the doors and windows. After the ground shook slightly for a while, those who had just left were stunned to see that the outside of the mall was completely blocked by a thick wall, leaving only a brand-new door that looked like a gate made from earth.
This… the speed of the wall is too fast!!
Even if there are a lot of people with level 2 abilities, it is impossible for them to build such a long circular wall in the blink of an eye. The people inside seem to be really level 3 ability users…
The team did not take the thoughts of the outsiders to heart. Precautions should be taken where appropriate, and caution is naturally needed in a new place. What everyone needs now is – rest! Rest well!
No one can stand sleeping in the car for so long. Now that they have space to rest and sleep, no one wants to squeeze in the car anymore.
Fang Hao’s mouth was unhappy. He had a belly full of anger, and was angry – “Don’t let me know who occupied our house!!”
After their long-awaited return to the base, his plan to rest was disrupted. Their house is occupied, and now they have to continue sleeping with others without privacy… Even if they are far away from each other, he wants to go into the space to take a bath, take a vacation on the beach, eat seafood, eat barbecue, eat meat, eat vegetables, swim, fish, farm and pick fruits!!
Imagining conveyor belts above one’s head. That’s scary…
