Chapter 136
Chapter 136
Just now, listening to the child's words, it seems there are doctors here, so of course, he wants to stay.
Huai Xue's body is not suitable for the hardships of travel, and in a few more months, she will be due.
It would be very dangerous to have no doctors around at that time.
He naturally wants to minimize the risks and ensure the safety of both mother and child.
"But our base doesn't just accept anyone. What advantages do you have that would make me agree to let you in?"
Yun Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.
These people are a bit different from Xiong Xiaomin.
She killed Liu Chengfu and the others, which was a salvation for Xiong Xiaomin from her dire situation.
Her gratitude towards Yun Xiaoxiao is evident, reflected in their closeness.
But these people's closeness to her is just passing, not high.
Although the base is short-handed and could benefit from their inclusion,
yet, giving a little help can breed gratitude, but giving too much can breed resentment.
She must make them understand that even if she lets them in, it's not for them to enjoy life.
Not contributing and just freeloading won't work with her.
Hearing this, Liu Yi lifted his head.
"I used to be an engineer, specializing in city construction, road and house building are all within my expertise.
After the apocalypse, I also developed a strange supernatural ability."
As he spoke, he extended his hand.
Soon, a puddle of mud emerged from his palm.
Some were watery, while others solidified into mud balls.
"Additionally, my wife is also an environmental planner.
Of course, these are just our current specialties. If you need anything, as long as it ensures my child's safe birth, I'm willing to do anything."
He expressed his thoughts.
"Alright, you can come in," Yun Xiaoxiao nodded.
These two could help develop the base's construction.
Although there are living quarters inside, many areas are still empty and could be utilized.
His mud could just be used as cement, quite convenient.
Xue Huaixue could work with Grandma Niu to make the base cleaner and prettier, which is also good.
Yun Xiaoxiao then looked at Tan Lili's family.
Lei Chunyan seemed a bit nervous, her hands clasped together.
"Well... we don't have anything special, just the most ordinary farmers, we only know how to farm."
Besides planting fruit trees, they also grow vegetables in the land beneath the trees.
Hearing Liu Yi's high-profile professions, she suddenly felt very ordinary compared to her husband.
She worried that Yun Xiaoxiao wouldn't let them in.
To her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Yun Xiaoxiao happily said, "Farming is great, we're short of such talents."
Food is paramount for the people!
Especially in this apocalyptic world where survival resources are scarce.
Feng Jin has theories and technology but lacks hands-on workers.
Now with these people, it's just perfect.
"We really can go in?" Lei Chunyan still couldn't believe it.
Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "Yes, auntie, you heard right, you can go in."
This Lei Chunyan is a Plant Cultivation Ability user.
Probably even she hasn't realized she has this ability.
It's true, this ability is specifically for farming.
After the apocalypse, she had no chance to farm, so it's normal she didn't discover it.
As Lei Chunyan and Liu Yi prepared to drive into the base,
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Xiuying who was at the back of the crowd.
Seeing her look, Zhou Xiuying's eyes flickered.
"I'm not going in," she said.
Yun Xiaoxiao chuckled, "I don't think I invited you."
She had noticed earlier that this woman's gaze towards her big brother was off.
This must be the woman her big brother and Xiao Feng encountered before.
There's no right or wrong in that incident, just different stances and views.
She naturally wouldn't kill over it.
But for someone with issues towards her big brother, she certainly wouldn't let them into the base.
"Just a reminder, don't harbor any improper thoughts, or those people will be your fate,"
Yun Xiaoxiao slowly spoke as Zhou Xiuying turned away.
Zhou Xiuying paused, "Don't worry, as a woman, what bad thoughts could I have? I know that wasn't their fault, I just can't get past my own heart."
After speaking, she left.
Her back looked somewhat lonely.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt no sympathy.
Allowing her to leave was already her greatest mercy.
Zhou Xiuying walked home, locked the door, and never stepped out again.
Soon, a foul smell emanated from the house...
Meanwhile,
Liu Yi and the others followed Yun Xiaoxiao into the base.
From afar, they had already been shocked by the base's appearance.
Upon entering and driving through the wide streets, their awe deepened.
The conditions here are too good!
This is clearly an independent new city!
"You mean, we can have our own house?"
Liu Yi looked at the residential area in front of him, incredulous.
"Yes, it's more like renting to you," Yun Xiaoxiao nodded.
"The rent will be paid by earning points through daily work for me."
She had considered earlier that if more people came into the base, how to manage them.
The best way would be the point system.
Points could be earned by helping her, according to the difficulty of the work.
Or by killing zombies and exchanging zombie cores for points.
Earned points could be used to pay rent or buy supplies.
She didn't plan to sell the houses.
They are her property, no one can take them away, outsiders can only rent the houses in the base.
As for supplies, she planned to fill the first street's mall with goods and have someone manage it.
People who want to buy things can go there.
Liu Yi and the others seemed to understand.
Finally, they chose two rooms on the same floor.
Tan Changbin and Lei Chunyan, a couple, looked at the spacious, clean, and beautiful house in front of them, hesitant to step in.
They had lived in the countryside all their lives, never seeing such a good house.
Suddenly being allowed to live in it felt like a huge pie falling on their heads, unreal.
"Mom and Dad, why aren't you coming in?"
Tan Lili adapted well and was very happy.
She had always envied the female leads living in big houses in TV dramas.
Now she lived in such a house, she was ecstatic.
"Such a good house for us to live in, we're afraid of dirtying it, and what can we give in return for such a good house?"
Lei Chunyan and her husband were worried.
"Didn't that little sister say we can earn points through labor? Then we just need to work hard in the future, right?" Tan Lili smiled.
The couple looked at each other, then solemnly said,
"Yes, we must work hard in the future and not disappoint this kindness."
