The recruitment ads that they released recently were divided into two different types, one for workers who were willing to come here to do a job, and one for the residents of this new base. The people who wanted to change their environment were welcome to join the new base.
Except for the ones who harbored evil intentions, or people like post-apocalyptic robbers, the new base would accept almost all sorts of applicants. And of course, the ones who chose to join the new base would be paid well.
The new residents of the base would be put in the positions which fit their contributions to the base.
That was a common rule in all bases.
“Did anything happen to Miss. Lu?” Mrs. Lin asked with concern.
Lin Wenwen smiled and responded, “She should be fine. Ugh, I want to tell you about what happened in Sea City Base yesterday.”
Hearing that, the others immediately turned to her with curiosity. Only Mrs. Lin showed a trace of worry on her face. However, she didn’t ask any further question, but walked into the lobby with the others.
Yuan Tianxing said to Chen Yuting and Lin Feng, “Yesterday in Sea City Base, Yang Chao and his people were destroyed by Chief Wu and Chief Zou. Yang Chao died.”
Chen Yuting and the others who had just walked into the lobby all froze when they heard that, gazing at Yuan Tianxing in disbelief.
“What? He died? How did that happen so suddenly? Our Chief wasn’t ready to take action, was he?” Chen Yuting asked with surprise.
Yuan Tianxing responded while walking straight to the few clean couches in the lobby, “In fact, something happened the day you guys left. Because of that, Chief Wu quickly launched a counter strike. All that happened was also the result of some troublemaker’s deeds.”
While speaking, he laughed with a complicated expression.
Chen Yuting and the others curiously surrounded him. “Tell us what exactly happened there!”
Yuan Tianxing said, “That night, one of Yang Chao’s Deputy Chief died. The man named Piao Gecang was bitten by a zombie that came from nowhere. After that, he went to the research institute of Sea City Base for some reason, and started a fight against some people in the research institute. At last, some other guy killed him. One researcher died as well.”
Hearing Piao Gecang’s name, Chen Yuting paused for a second. But soon, he stared at Yuan Tianxing in shock and said, “What did you say? Piao Gecang died?”
That man had given him a hard time not long ago. At that time, Chen Yuting didn’t know that the latter was the man who caused his Jen’s death yet. He was only surprised because that man who had troubled him not long ago was suddenly dead.
Yuan Tianxing said, “Yeah! More than two people died that night. Yang Chao’s sister, Yang Yan also died.”
“Eh? Wasn’t she who encouraged her son to harass Wenwen? She died as well? Who killed her?” Lin Feng asked.
The others quickly glanced at Lin Wenwen.
Yuan Tianxing also gave Lin Wenwen a glance when answering the question, “Miss. Lu said that she did it. But, I heard that Yang Yuan’s head and arm were bitten off by some kind of beast, and that she died very miserably! None of her people saw how she died.”
Lin Feng and the others glanced at each other in shock. “Miss. Lu? How come she’s involved in it too?”
“We’re not sure,” said Yuan Tianxing, “But that’s what she said. She also found that a level-seven superpowered man on Yang Chao’s side had been hiding in Sea City Base. Next day at the meeting of all the senior base administrators, they started the war. What caused the war was that Yang Chao had run some kind of virus experiment with hundreds of people from Sea City Base, and gotten them all killed. Some of his subordinates were infected as well. At last, they all became half-zombie, half-human monsters, and ended up being killed.”
“Are you saying that he ran experiments on live human beings? My God!” Mrs. Lin exclaimed.
After the apocalypse, the world had become sparsely populated. However, Yang Chao actually ran experiments on healthy people. That was truly insane! Also, judging by Yuan Tianxing’s words, those people didn’t volunteer, but were all forced.
Yuan Tianxing nodded and continued, “Yang Chao thought no one knew about his secret experiment. However, Chief had collected all the information about it since long ago. So on that day, he uncovered it and joined hands with the other leader of Sea City Base to banish Yang Chao.”
Chen Yuting wore an angry face. Hearing Yuan Tianxing say that Yang Chao was only banished, he asked with discontentment, “Why did they only banish him? His kind of people should be destroyed!”
His Jen was also injected with the zombie virus, and now, he learned that Yang Chao and his people had been hurting more innocent people in that way.
Yuan Tianxing shook his head and explained, “They banished him, so he wasn’t a base leader anymore. That was only the first step. The second step was the key… He was executed for murdering hundreds of people. That was an explanation to the people in the base.”
Chen Yuting calmed down slightly after hearing that. “You’re right…”
“Captain Chen, you don’t need to be angry,” said Lin Feng, “As Tianxing said, Yang Chao has died. All the people who deserved death are already dead.”
After comforting Chen Yuting, Lin Feng continued, “And then? What happened at last?”
“At last, Yang Chao became a monster,” said Yuan Tianxing, “Chief Wu and a few others killed him joint-handedly. But, I heard that the man who was there to help him ran away upon realizing that the situation was unfavorable.”
“Eh? He ran away? Yang Chao must be so angry about it,” said Mrs. Lin with surprise.
Yuan Tianxing smilingly nodded and said, “Perhaps. We weren’t on the scene, so we don’t know how he reacted.”
The others glanced at each other. Picturing what happened at that time, they all wanted to laugh.
“Where did he find such an unreliable help? Who is that man?” Mrs. Lin laughed at first, then asked.
“Miss. Lu said that he’s a post-apocalyptic robber,” said Lin Wenwen.
“Post-apocalyptic robber? Yang Chao was really insane. He not only turned himself into a monster, but also ganged up with a robber from the outside. He could really do anything,” Mrs. Lin sighed.
Yuan Tianxing suddenly thought of something. “Speaking of that post-apocalyptic robber,” he said with a serious face, “we need to be careful. Miss. Lu said that he had watched us for a whole night. His target should be Wenwen. Now, Yang Chao has died, and he has escaped. But still, he’s a robber. We can’t tell for sure if he’ll keep following us.”
Hearing that a level-seven post-apocalyptic robber might be targeting them, all Lin Family people turned vigilant.
“That’s possible! Post-apocalyptic robbers are all vengeful. They’ll do whatever they can to get whatever they want. We’ll be in serious troubles if he has his eyes on us!” Lin Feng wore a grim look as well.
