Chapter 135 Base Changes
"Simpson, bring the Wolf King crystal core here, Richard will continue to guard the mother nest territory."
After checking the development of the Zerg, Wang Jin gave orders to the two newly summoned Zerg generals.
Wang Jin did not bring these two Zerg generals to the base, but stayed in the mother nest to ensure the safety of the mother nest.
Simpson, who was a few kilometers away, received the order and obtained the Wolf King crystal core. His short and strong body sank into the ground and moved quickly underground to the base. This was Simpson's special ability. He was very good at underground traversal and reconnaissance and assassination.
The other Zerg general was a handsome boy who looked as if he was not yet an adult. He sat high on the top of the mother nest with a pair of golden eyes.
The faint golden light spread out, forming a light curtain to cover the mother nest. Richard's special ability was an energy barrier. This golden light could not only be used for defense, but also for enemies.
"Brother Wang! Du Yuyan has arrived. Let's go to the planting area for inspection." The office door was knocked, and He Youxi walked in and said to Wang Jin.
Wang Jin nodded, looked at He Youxi's body, and asked with a smile: "Have you been training your superpowers recently? I hope to see you become a level 2 mutant like Chen Dong!"
In a month, with Wang Jin's generous supply of resources, Chen Dong has broken through to the level 2 mutant, with tens of thousands of pounds of strength in his arms, and his strength has increased dramatically.
Even Li Yue has reached the critical point of breaking through the level 2 and may break through to the level 2 at any time.
In this month of development, Wang Jin's insect swarm also encountered many level 2 mutant beasts. Except for those that ran away, Wang Jin hunted a total of 12 level 2 mutant beasts including the wolf king and obtained 12 level 2 crystal cores.
Wang Jin was not stingy and gave four of the crystal cores to He Youxi, Jia Ding, Lin Shibin, Du Yuyan and other four people, so that they could also become mutants.
Among these four people, Du Yuyan is the controller of the fire element, Jia Ding is a strength mutant, and Lin Shibin is a speed mutant.
Only He Youxi's superpower is special, which can emit a dark mist to make people in it lose their way.
Staying in the fog for a long time can also make people unconscious, which can be used to attack the enemy, escape and defend.
Hearing Wang Jin's words, He Youxi said with a sad face: "Brother Wang, I feel that my superpower is not as good as Du Yuyan and others. In addition to blocking vision, the fog can only make ordinary humans unconscious. It is basically useless for evolved mutants. If I had known, I would not have chosen this strange crystal core. It really screwed me over."
Wang Jin suppressed his smile, patted He Youxi's shoulder and comforted him: "That's because you didn't develop the role of superpowers. If this superpower is used well, it is not as weak as you think."
Wang Jin thought of when he gave the crystal core to He Youxi and others to choose, He Youxi said that he wanted to choose a different crystal core. After asking Wang Jin, he found the most special crystal core and swallowed it without hesitation.
As a result, He Youxi did not get a superior strength, but a dark fog that trapped the enemy, which made He Youxi depressed for a long time.
The original body of this crystal core is a mutant frog, which can spit out dark mist and corrode the enemy into pus. It is very powerful. Wang Jin asked He Youxi to choose it not to trick him, but this crystal core is really powerful.
However, he didn't know what went wrong. After absorbing the crystal core, He Youxi inherited the dark mist, but the corrosiveness was not inherited. He only had a coma with little effect, which surprised Wang Jin. He could only attribute it to He Youxi's character problem.
After chatting with He Youxi all the way, after picking up Du Yuyan under the government building, everyone got on Wang Jin's Hummer, which was driven by Wang Jin's exclusive driver Azizada, and slowly went to the plain planting area outside the base.
The government building is in the center of the city. Wang Jin observed the situation in the city center in the car.
At this time, the city center has become much more prosperous and lively than the bleak post-war. People of all kinds are constantly shuttling through the streets, buying goods or drinking tea and eating, restoring the scene that Wang Jin saw when he first came to the Lishan base.
The business department headed by Jia Ding rented out a large number of shops in the city center. Because of the low rent and Wang Jin's policy support, many wealthy people bought shops and started businesses in the city center.
Some of these people are relatives of mutants, some are children of military non-commissioned officers, and some are relatives of middle-level and senior staff in various departments. Wang Jin does not allow them to participate in the business of the base, but they use the name of relatives to buy and manage, which is no different from buying and participating by themselves.
Wang Jin also turned a blind eye to this. Without the secret manipulation of these people, the base would not prosper so quickly, otherwise you would let those survivors who are not full of food buy what.
Only a few of these shops are purchased by ordinary survivors, and some are officially self-operated by Wang Jin, mainly selling food such as food and meat. These are the food obtained by Wang Jin's insect swarms in the wild hunting mutants and looting zombie villages.
After being transported to the base by Wang Jin's insect swarms, they are sold by the business department to ease the food pressure of the base and also obtain some brain core crystal resources for Wang Jin.
In addition to food, there are official shops selling clothes, quilts and tents. Even Wang Jin has a shop selling various cold weapons.
The consumers in the city center are mainly soldiers and personnel from various departments. The shops use food transactions and brain core crystal core transactions.
There is a brain core crystal exchange shop established by the Ministry of Commerce in the city center. As long as you have brain core crystals, you can exchange them here.
Many ordinary survivors will exchange brain core crystals for food after accidentally killing zombies and weak mutants in the wild. The mutant corpses are sold to hotels and restaurants in the city center, and finally made into meals and sold to consumers by hotels and restaurants, forming a small industrial chain.
For this reason, some survivors began to change their jobs to become special hunters, taking various cold weapons to hunt zombies and mutants in the wild. In this way, they get much more food than digging in the wild, and they don’t have to go hungry.
However, this business is very risky. Most of the time, zombies and mutants hunt humans, and there are not many successful people. After all, they are just ordinary people, not mutants, and they don’t have hot weapons.
This also leads to the fact that although hunters have amazing profits, there are few people who do it. Most people would rather dig for food in the wild than take risks. This is almost the same as risking one’s life. Only those adventurers who are unwilling to be lonely will do it.
When passing by a street, Wang Jin saw more than a thousand survivors under the care of soldiers, and the logistics department introduced the rules of the base, the streets and the forbidden areas of the military camp to them.
These are the new survivors who were recently "invited" from the wild by the Mutant Management Department. Within a month, Murong Jun and his team found a total of 30,000 survivors for Wang Jin, bringing the population of the Lishan Base to 130,000.
The population within a radius of more than 100 kilometers was basically collected in the Lishan Base, which put a lot of pressure on the food supply of the base. Not only was it responsible for two meals of porridge for the survivors every day, but also for the food and wages of the staff of various departments.
If Wang Jin had not had the insect swarm to provide food continuously, others would have been unable to hold on and would have gone bankrupt after running out of food.
