Chapter 230 Sensational Underground Base
The return of 20,000 survivors to the underground base caused a great sensation.
Many survivors were waiting on the ground, watching the host like a dark cloud in the sky land.
These survivors were worried about the safety of their companions. For unknown things, especially the unpleasant saying of absorbing mental power, all survivors were nervous, not to mention that it was their turn to go next. It would be strange if they were not afraid and worried.
Now, when they saw the survivors who had gone to the Lishan base before returning, they immediately swarmed in, wanting to see the condition of the survivors whose mental power was absorbed, whether there was anything bad, and whether their bodies were not damaged.
Many survivors whose relatives went to the Lishan base were even more worried, staring at the host, fearing that something might happen to their relatives.
However, with the landing of the host, a large number of survivors appeared safely, no different from before departure, they were still able to jump around, and their bodies were not damaged at all, which made these waiting survivors relieved.
Jiang Zhengqing had also been waiting here. Seeing that the survivors were intact, he was relieved. After asking Wu Zhi about the situation, his worries finally disappeared.
As for Jiang Shishi's move to stay at the Lishan Base, Jiang Zhengqing was not angry, but showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He had been trying to match his daughter with Wang Jin and form a relationship between a man and a woman. He would not object to his daughter's visit to the Lishan Base.
In this way, his daughter can get in touch with Wang Jin better, improve the impression of both parties, and lay the foundation for future union. He, an old fox, is so happy that he can't wait to get angry and object.
The 20,000 survivors returned safely, and the waiting survivors were very happy. They were assured of their future safety, and everyone returned to the base together in high spirits.
However, more than a hundred survivors carrying large bags of food, with their mouths split to the back of their ears, attracted everyone's attention.
Many of these survivors knew each other. They all had the same miserable background, running around for three meals a day every day. Not to mention storing food, it was still unclear whether they had food to eat that day.
But they went to the Lishan Base, not only were they fine, but they also got a large amount of food. Each person had at least dozens of kilograms of food, which made them jealous.
They knew clearly that before setting off, these survivors did not bring any food with them, that is, these food were obtained by them at the Lishan Base. The survivors were not stupid and quickly guessed the source of the food.
After the 20,000 survivors merged into the crowd, news about the Lishan Base spread one after another, and the origin of these food was also spread together, and the news spread more and more, and soon spread throughout the entire underground base.
Everyone knew that the Lishan Base could make a fortune and could exchange a large amount of food for mutant beast materials. In people's rumors, the Lishan Base became a place of wealth.
It seemed that the Lishan Base had a lot of food waiting for them to obtain, and it was their opportunity to get rich overnight.
More than a hundred successful people stimulated them even more. In their eyes, dozens of kilograms of food were astronomical figures, which were wealth that they could hardly get even if they worked hard for a lifetime, and those survivors got them by just going to the Lishan Base.
Human greed began to swell. Under the temptation of those who got rich overnight, and knowing that it was safe to go to the Lishan Base, the survivors were no longer afraid to go to the Lishan Base, but became looking forward to it.
Knowing that mutant beast materials can be used to obtain food, the survivors took action and searched through boxes and cabinets for materials that they had ignored. Those who had mutant beast materials were naturally happy, while those who did not have them beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting that they did not collect these materials.
Although the underground base is located in a large mountain range, where mutant beasts are everywhere, many mutant beasts die every day, and mutant beast materials are also scattered in the wild, but only a few survivors can get them, because most of the materials are useless, and only a few can really make weapons. So this thing depends on luck and cannot be forced.
Unless they are mutants and have the ability to hunt mutant beasts themselves, but if they have this ability, they will not care too much about these dozens of kilograms of food, and they are even said to be crazy about it. Generally speaking, mutants still do not lack this little food, of course, those mutants with relatively useless abilities are no longer among them.
In such a situation, for the sake of mutant beast materials, many violent incidents have even been triggered. Some people are jealous of others' mutant beast materials and can't help but snatch them. The robbed people naturally fight back, causing a lot of fights.
Jiang Zhengqing still didn't understand the situation, but suddenly received a report from his subordinates that violent incidents occurred one after another in the base, so he ordered soldiers to strengthen patrols and suppress the chaos. It took a while to calm down the chaos.
At this time, Jiang Zhengqing understood the whole story. The cause was actually mutant beast materials.
This made him laugh and cry, and he also thought about it. He took out the mutant beast materials that his base usually collected and planned to take them to the Lishan base to exchange for food. Although they were not short of food, in the end times, no one would complain that they had too much food.
Jiang Zhengqing knew the value of these mutant beast materials. The value of these materials was not just a few dozen kilograms of rice. The real value was much higher. Wang Jin's Lishan base actually took advantage of this. After all, who would do a loss-making business?
Although they knew the value of these mutant beast materials, they would be much cheaper if they were sold this way, and they suffered a great loss. However, there were only a few dozen mutants in the underground base, which could not form consumption power. Unlike Wang Jin's Lishan base, which had hundreds of mutants, there were enough mutants to consume the weapons made of these mutant beast materials.
Jiang Zhengqing had no choice but to sell the materials. They were deep in the isolated mountains, and these materials were shipped out. Except for Wang Jin, the seller, they could not find a second base to sell them. Therefore, although the mutant beast materials were the specialty of their underground base, they could only be sold at a low price.
After the chaos, Jiang Zhengqing rearranged the organization of the survivors, and drew 20,000 survivors from the base to transport them to the Lishan base.
After learning that absorbing mental power was harmless to the body, Jiang Zhengqing could continue to transport the survivors with confidence and boldness, without having to worry like before.
For the 20,000 places, many survivors also argued. The survivors with materials were eager to exchange for food, while the survivors without materials did not care. It was said that the Lishan Base was very prosperous, and they could see what the Lishan Base looked like when they went there. It was better than staying in the monotonous and dull dark underground.
Unlike the previous avoidance of the Lishan Base, the survivors this time were brave and took the lead. Everyone wanted to go first. In order to grab a position, these survivors almost fought.
Jiang Zhengqing had a headache to arrange the candidates and comfort the angry survivors, saying that everyone had a chance to go to the Lishan Base, and they just had to wait for the next batch, and then he comforted the excited survivors.
No one expected that Wang Jin and Jiang Zhengqing originally thought that it was necessary to force the survivors to go to the Lishan Base. Unexpectedly, under the temptation of the mutant beast materials, such a fluctuation was triggered, making the survivors willing to come to the Lishan Base. This was something no one expected.
Soon, a hundred hosts carried the second batch of survivors to the sky and flew to the Lishan Base at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
