Translator: _Min_Editor: Yukira_
With the return of the expedition, Fishbone Base had resumed its former liveliness.
The construction of the base was back on track, the construction team began moving batches and batches of construction supplies outside of the wall and started to implement the expansion work as originally planned.
The women rescued from Huizhong Mercenaries base were placed in an empty apartment building. Jiang Chen assigned five nurses to take care of them and help them regain their sanity. At the same time, the survivors of the base could now utilize the point system to take the person they like home.
In principle, Fishbone Base encouraged ”adoption” as a means for them to take responsibility and to help their partner to return to normal. Women who could successfully join their workforce would be rewarded with points.
The trading posts in front of the gate reopened after the zombie waves had ended. It was believed that after this incident, there would be an endless stream of survivors that would come and trade here, and the relationship between the Fishbone base and nearby survivor groups would be strengthened further.
The bullet production line and Hummingbird UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) production line were housed in a metal warehouse and the two military production lines could be put into production after a simple maintenance. So Fishbone base welcomed its first military factory and though the production efficiency was not high, it was undoubtedly a good start.
After ordering Lu Huasheng to construct a building in the newly developed area as the new site for the military factory, Jiang Chen walked to the direction of the mansion.
The UAV terminal could be manufactured from recycled electronic parts and since Yao Yao was the expert in this area, completing it should not be a problem for her. If she could create a drone system, the base defense and detection capabilities would rise to another level.
But the moment he opened the door, he was astounded.
”Do you know who I am?” Lin Lin with her arms akimbo and raised her head confidently.
”You, you are?” Yao Yao swallowed a mouthful, shrunk her tiny head a little and carefully asked.
”Me? I am the noble, perfect embodiment of science and technology—digitalized human!” Lin Lin smiled arrogantly. She was very pleased with the frightened look on Yao Yao’s face.
At the moment, Lin Lin’s mood was ecstatic that there was only one thought in her mind! The feeling of picking on the weak felt so wonderful. Hahaha!
However, that elated feeling didn’t last for long because she found Jiang Chen standing in the doorway and was looking at her with a faint smile.
Lin Lin's mouth twitched stiffly and her arrogant expression remained frozen on her face.
After discovering Jiang Chen, as though Yao Yao had found her savior, she quickly fled behind his back and pouted her mouth looking like she was wronged.
”Digitalized human? So what?” Jiang Chen smiled and stared at the beautiful girl with silver and white hair.
”I, I…” Lin Lin’s mouth started quivering as she recalled the fear for this ”devil.”
”Where is Sun Jiao?” He turned around and rubbed Yao Yao's head indulgently.
”Sister Sun Jiao was taking a shower,” Yao Yao said quietly.
Then, she looked at Lin Lin’s direction and with a tone full of grievance, continued, ”Sister Sun Jiao asked me to find her a room but as soon as Sister Sun Jiao left, she, she…”
”You bullied my Yao Yao?”
This was intolerable! Especially seeing the timid look like that of a little animal on Yao Yao’s face, Jiang Chen’s protective tendencies suddenly burst forth.
”What, what are you going to do?” Lin Lin was trembling and began to retreat back.
Her silvery hair quivered, her white was filled with fear. Despite her unearthly beauty, her bad character would only arouse human’s sadistic desire and not their protective instincts.
Almost unhesitantly, Jiang Chen took out his EP and then pressed a few keys.
A faint static sound emitted from Yao Yao’s neck and the electronic collar opened.
Without saying a word, he seized Yao Yao’s collar, approached Lin Lin with a leer, ignored her resistance from her flailing fists, and put the collar around her neck.
Yao Yao touched her neck with an aggrieved expression. That was the one thing connecting her and Brother Jiang Chen, but it got taken away by this strange woman.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she got.
Her big adorable eyes began to get watery.
”No, it’s too dangerous. I had always wanted to take it off for a long time. How about giving you a new gift later?” When Jiang Chen saw her expression and hurriedly appeased her.
”Hello! If it is dangerous, why did you put it on me?” Lin Lin protested.
”Who cares about you?” Jiang Chen turned around and gave her a ferocious glare making Lin Lin shrank back in fear again.
Yao Yao looked back and forth between the two of them feeling wronged, her tiny mouth pouted again.
She had a bad feeling about this. It felt like there were more and more opponents.
...
After forcing the unruly Lin Lin to ”stay put,” Jiang Chen took her to the first floor of the study.
If was called a study but there was no book to be found here anymore. The bookshelves were disposed to the backyard as waste, and the room was now filled with experimental apparatus taken from Lin Lin's shelter.
”Ahhh! How dare you treat my babies this way.” Lin Lin tearfully run and touched her precious instruments.
”This is your room from now on. Clean it up yourself.” Jiang Chen said bluntly with a wicked grin.
He swore he had always been a nice person.
But for some reason, Lin Lin seemed to be born with ”please bully me” BUFF; her favorite was her over-the-top ”provocation.”
Lin Lin fiercely glared at him before correctly placing the equipment upside down on the ground.
”Oh, so that’s how it is. I thought that side was the bottom.”
”Stupid,” Lin Lin cursed inaudibly and was no longer looking at him.
