Chapter 231: part 1- Biggest crisis

Cloud Peak was in a celebratory mood like it was New years.

It was tough to live in the apocalypse. Even if you evolved, your chances of death were slightly lower than ordinary people. After all, you had to fight, kill zombies, kill mutated lifeforms. Those are dangerous matters; if one weren’t careful, one would die.

Like Ye Zhongming in his last life, he was a six-star evolved but didn’t he also die to a Bug man?

Thus the apocalypse would show all the evil of humanity as no one had a sense of security. Everyone had to live in fear of what would occur tomorrow. They would release their evil side.

Of course, that wasn’t a reason to do evil things, as everyone was equal. Everyone had intellect and rationality. They were no different from beasts if they followed their instincts purely.

Food was necessary for survival. When Cloud Peak targeted Yingchun County Grain Storage, everyone supported it. Everyone knew that grain was the foundation of everything. Without knowing what tomorrow would bring, filling one’s stomach was important. Only by filling one’s stomach would one have the stamina to do other things.

Thus, everyone cheered, although the team suffered heavy losses when grain cars were moved into the villa. Their faces were filled with huge smiles.

The first meal after the operation was naturally the best. Rice, white noodles, buns. Meat cans covered the table. People who loved to drink were also given a small cup of alcohol.

This night was one of the best nights since the apocalypse had started.

Ye Zhongming said a few sentences to everyone in the restaurant before heading out to make his rounds. He wouldn’t let his guard down just because he got some grain. Many factions were staring at him around the villa. Once the news of the battle spread, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t be surprised if people did things due to greed.

The only thing he could do in such a situation would be to focus on himself.

He walked around the entire Cloud Peak. When he returned to his apartment, Xia Lei, Lu Yi, Mo Ye, Tang Tian, Sister Rong, etc, were all waiting for him.

This was the temporary management level of Cloud Peak. Each person was in charge of a branch that supported the base's running.

Xia Lei was like the manager; she took charge of everything and could make decisions. This was due to her job in the police force. In the past, she played the role of the deputy commander.

Mo Ye took the position of the head of the base’s armed forces. When she was in the police force, she was in charge of the special forces, so she used that experience and methods at the base. It was effective. Little Tiger was her helper; the two of them worked together and managed their training and lives well.

Although Lu Yi was old, he had done a lot of business. He was thoughtful and could identify issues with the situation. Ye Zhongming placed him in charge of all diplomatic matters, like trading with the Black Cloak Motorcade. Apart from that, he helped Tang Tian to manage ordinary people. He slowly helped Tang Tian and Xiang Tao familiarise with management methods.

Tang Tian entered the team a little late, but he was loyal and not stupid. He was also very decisive when he did things that Ye Zhongming appreciated. Along with Candy being an essential part of this team that was well protected and treated, this guy decided to help work for Ye Zhongming. He would lead those ordinary people to do work, and he worked hard.

Sister Rong was in charge of logistics and admin work. She was a woman, so she was more detailed. In the past, her job was something similar. Many injured women were placed under her care, which was Ye Zhongming’s form of protection. After all, the base would get bigger, and the population would increase, so there were many things that he couldn’t pay attention to. With Sister Rong there, those women that were hurt and abused wouldn’t end up as victims again because of some accidents.

These were the management-level members of the base, but Ye Zhongming’s core members were still those who followed him all the way here. Apart from Xia Lei and Mo Ye, Little Tiger, Liang Chuyin, Park Xiuying, Shengyuan, etc, were his foundations. Their status in the base was naturally really high. As for others who wanted to enter this circle, they needed some time and some effort.

“We suffered heavy losses this time. 13 one star evolved died, two were badly injured. Forty-five normal warriors died, and six were injured. The grain transport team lost 21 people, and we used up nearly all our bullets.”

Mo Ye sat down and reported the situation to Ye Zhongming. These numbers had circled her mind for a long time.

As the person in charge of the armed force in the base, Mo ye knew that this was a victory for the entire base, but it was a dark time for those protecting it.

The base had only 40 one-star evolved, and with so many of them dying, their strength was greatly affected. They needed the addition of new blood, or the core strength of the base would reduce.

Although more and more normal people were willing to fight, that was only 150 people. A third of them were gone this time.

These losses made Mo Ye anxious.

Ye Zhongming nodded, “Give those injured people some simple jobs once they recover; we must continue helping them.” n0velusb.c0m

The others agreed. These people were handicapped because of the base and should be taken care of. Moreover, this could send a message-- If you worked for the base, the base wouldn’t mistreat you.

Although this was the apocalypse, many bases would abandon those without value. But Ye Zhongming didn’t allow that. What he needed wasn’t a base built on force but one that was unified and would sacrifice their lives for him under any circumstance. This required him to put effort into gaining their hearts. Ensuring the lives of injured people after helping him was more essential.

“As for increasing the number of evolved, head back to select carefully. Tabulate the number you think is suited to evolve, and I will give you the potions.”

Mo Ye agreed. She knew that Ye Zhongming had many one-star potions, and as long as he wanted to, the base could have hundreds of evolved. But she knew that they had to cultivate loyalty. Evolution potions couldn’t be given randomly.

Tang Tian and Lu Yi also talked about some of the base matters, to which Ye Zhongming replied one after another. Although he didn’t run a base in his last life, he had lived for many years and knew how a good base ran. Many views were different from peacetime. He needed to remind these people in case problems arose.

“Zhongming, there is still no news from Xia Bai...” Sister Rong waited for everyone to finish before she raised her worry about Xia Bai.

Ye Zhongming frowned.

He naturally wouldn’t forget about Xia Bai. That was a fighter that he nurtured. Ye Zhongming was anxious when she said she was fending off the enemy and didn’t return. He went around to see if he could find her.

Such a situation meant the death of a survivor. With Xia Bai’s loyalty, if she didn’t return, the chance of survival was very low apart from death.

Sister Rong and the other girls were naturally concerned about Xia Bai. Even if they knew that there was a high chance she was dead, they still had some hope.

“Tell our hunting squad to search for Xia Bai when they head out.”

The Hunting Team comprised the armed members who weren’t on duty to guard the base. They raised their combat strength while also collecting demon crystals.

Mo Ye agreed. She knew that Xia Bai was important to Ye Zhongming. That woman did some things that were inconvenient for them to do.

“Uncle Lu, find Yuanshang. Put out a bounty of five evolution potions and five immunity potions. I want news about Xia Bai.”

Lu Yi nodded and used the satellite radio to contact Yuanshang. They found this in an infantry vehicle, and Ye Zhongming fiddled around with it for a while, and then it worked.
