Chapter 71 (2/2)

Xiao Sa resolutely strengthened the prison gate, and the first floor of the office building behind it has been converted into a consultation room, while the rest of the building was turned into a resting area for the guards. There were only a few people now, but in the future, there would be ten heavily armed guards, and they would change s.h.i.+fts every eight hours. When there were more people, they would need to expand their ranks and guard the gate tightly. There had originally only been one guard house, but now there were five. Not only were they equipped with monitors and computers, but also with air-conditioning. Of course, the computer network could only be used within the base and was an intranet line.

On the same day, news about the opening of the base spread out, and quite a few people came over after they heard. Most of them were residents from the nearby area. At present, food was not scarce, and the option to spend a little food in exchange for a house with water and electricity was one that made everyone happy. They just wanted to stay until the weather warmed up as they believed that their days would improve then. But what they didn't know was that their mentality was doomed to be destroyed.

Day after day, the base started getting on track, and Xiao Sa did not dare to delay. He took advantage of the fact that the weather was still cold, and immediately announced a mission. He wanted to build a strong wall outside the prison and as well as houses for residents to live in. The base would issue points according to the work that was accomplished, and residents could use the points to exchange for food, buy and sell things, and even rent lodging.

As for how it would all be built, Xiao Sa couldn't control it too much, and handed it all over to Leng Han. Fortunately, Leng Han's subordinates had even brought along their friend and had rushed over in twenty days. It was only after they talked about it that they discovered that their original base had turned cold to the point where they couldn't take it anymore. They had started to run out of everything, and the leaders of the base began to fight, taking what resources they could and leaving nothing but crying and wailing refugees behind.

After receiving Leng Han's telegraph, they did not dare to delay for even a moment and hurried over, but the snow was too heavy and the road was too hard to traverse. Although the journey was not very long, it still took more than twenty days to get there. Seeing the environment here, they were relieved. Compared with the original base, it was heaven, and they even had two or three water system powers. As a result, it was much easier for the base to use water, and the construction of the city wall also managed to stay on track.

Since the base's construction was getting better and better, Liu Wanfa finally couldn't hold it in anymore and invested a lot of money in order to seek refuge, wanting to settle down in the base. He not only needed to do missions, acc.u.mulate points, and go out to collect materials, he also had to t.i.the 30% of his earnings every time. But compared to other people's 50% or even 70%, they had already treated him kindly. Liu Wanfa felt a lot of heartache; in fact, he also really wanted to rely on Xiao Sa, but the other party hadn't paid any attention to him. He finally rented a workshop and established a group called the Dragon Tiger Gang, which had now become the second largest force in the base.

When Bai Jing heard about it, he laughed happily. Then, he finally remembered that their base had not yet been named. After some discussion, Xiao Sa put his foot down and ignored Bai Jing's objection, and Jing Sa City was born. Bai Jing shuddered every time he heard it - did they have to be so numbing? It even made his skin break out in goose b.u.mps.

But on the whole, everything was going in the right direction.

A few days later, they heard some interesting news on the radio. The county next to theirs had established a survivor base. Their boss was one of the escaped convicts from the prison, and sent a telegram to them hoping to form an alliance.

Xiao Sa glanced at the telegram, and then tossed it far away. Even if it was an alliance, they still needed to consider who the other party was. The county next to theirs had clearly established their base just to grab rice from the same rice bowl and fight for them for resources. They were red-eyed with jealousy because they had enough forces and wanted a share. Who would care about them?

When they were free, Xiao Sa and Bai Jing acted like masters who only had to give orders and didn't have to do actually make a move themselves. They spent every day going outside and returning late, driving the sledge around everywhere looking for danger. There were few zombies in winter, but that didn't mean there weren't any; the two of them used this as an opportunity to practice. The base was too wonderful, and life there was too comfortable. Although they also wanted to rest and relax, potential danger had not disappeared. Now that everything was peaceful, the most urgent task for them was improve their abilities.

They were lucky enough to meet a few mutant animals. Unfortunately, the level of their crystal nuclei was too low to be effective for Xiao Sa. These counted as personal a.s.sets, and Bai Jing was very shameless as he smilingly accepted them, then tossed them to Xu Lei and Qin Hao when they got back.

He also tried every possible way to feed Xiao Sa some spring water from the s.p.a.ce every day. Although it was only a drop, Xiao Sa's powers still changed. Even Bai Jing had not expected that a month later, without the help of crystal nucleus and only relying on talent and meditation, Xiao Sa would rise up to become a level two ability user naturally.

When the news spread, it caused a sensation at the base. Xiao Sa's name was in the limelight for a while…

Bai Jing was envious, and ruthlessly also sent out a mission for jade collection. As a result, there was one more mission - jade could be exchanged for points and food.
