The Rebirth of the Last Days and Return to [Fang] Hao

As expected by Guo Bing and Chen Ning, the base did produce a batch of weapons that are made from a mixture of gold and silver with strong lethality against zombies. Their usefulness have also been verified.

Picking up a dagger about one foot long, handle included, the team leader in charge nodded with a smile on his face. “Although the hardness and toughness are a little bit worse than traditional weapons, this weapon is the best choice to deal with zombies.”

The person in charge of this production smiled. “The lab is still testing the ratio, and strives to find the most suitable ratio of materials as soon as possible. There are also special bullets and special bombs for zombies. We believe that we will have good news soon.”

“Let them work harder. Even if there are no ability users, with these things regaining the urban area will happen sooner or later!”

“Of course! It’s just the gold, silver, and and other precious metals…”

“Don’t worry about this. Now gold and silver are not valuable in the base. Those survivors outside may not bring other things when they escape from the city, but if they see gold or silver on the road, they will definitely find a way to carry it with them.” Since ancient times, every loves gold.

Gold is a hard currency that preserves its value no matter what country or era it is in. Since ancient times, Chinese people have had the awareness of hiding gold in their homes to prepare if they encounter wars. After the situation has stabilized, it can be used for money!1T/N: just to clarify, gold is like any other currency. It has value because it is backed by something or we as a collective human society think it’s valuable. The thing that sets the metal itself apart is it’s sheen and luster (vs other ‘precious metals’), and maybe that it can be used in semiconductors.

There are also places in the base where people can exchange gold and silver for food. As long as they quietly increase the exchange policy in the base, there is no fear that these precious metals will not be exchanged.

What’s more – there are banks with real money in the city… Except for these people here, how do other people know about it? After improving the overall equipment of the troops, they can naturally go to the city to retrieve those things!

The special weapons in the base were produced, and the first batch of weapons was immediately sent to certain special units in the base. After which, the base began producing weapons for subsequent troops and the teams that had signed the agreement before. This can improve the overall strength of the base.

At this time, a list was placed in front of General Song. General Song was sitting behind his desk with his hands folded in front of him. After staring at the list for a long while, he said to the guards beside him: “Go, let them take action. Ask them to bring over the list of personnel before the operation.”

The guard was stunned, and quickly led out to find someone to get the list.

About twenty minutes later, another longer, three-page list was placed on the table. General Song glanced through his eyes and a gleam of light appeared. “Sure enough…”

“… Commander?” The guard was perplexed. He didn’t look at the list carefully, but… what kind of flowers can he see from the list? Or did the commander see the name of someone he knew?

General Song leaned against the back of the chair. “How many crystal nuclei have been absorbed by the healers we cultivated?”

“Reporting, they should have absorbed more than two hundred!”

It should be said that General Song is indeed an old fox. He used the method of sending someone infected with the zombie virus to the Lu Family’s healing ability to stimulate an ability. It turned out to actually work! What’s even more surprising is they deliberately sent in some medics and one person actually inspired a healing ability!

He had a satisfied smile. This healer is his dark chess piece. After reaching level 2, it is difficult to reach level 3 because they need a large number of level 2 crystal nuclei. Level 1 nuclei are merely a drop in the bucket for them. If they want to upgrade to the third level, they need to absorb a large number of homologous level 2 crystal nuclei, and use ones that match their abilities.

But the number of second-level zombies is already small, let alone finding one with attributes that match? Therefore, the current level 2 ability players can only rely on slow accumulation of first-level nuclei. No one has reached the level 3 yet.

For the sake of safety, they didn’t dare to let their newfound healer directly stimulate more infected people. Although a first-level ability can also cure the infected person, the efficiency is too slow. They can’t use people to death like the Lu family. Only by ensuring the health of the healing ability can they better help themselves in the long run.

A finger lightly tapped somewhere on the list, and General Song’s eyes flashed a ray of light: “Go, find someone to stare at this Samsara team.”

Although he didn’t know the reason, it was the commander’s order. The guard saluted and immediately accepted the task.

And on the two lists on the desk, the number of Samsara team members is exactly the same…

One is the list of personnel before the trip, and the other is the list of personnel when signing the agreement. In the mission of that trip to the northwest, each team reduced its staff to varying degrees. But everyone in this team was intact and returned… What does this mean?

Shells and fish bones accounted for the vast majority of the small half bucket of garbage.

The couple ate contentedly, and then began to worry — “What about garbage?”

There is no need to fertilize the land in the space. No matter what they plant, it grows lushly with some water afterwards. Now the space will automatically rain, they can even save the step of watering. How to deal with this garbage?

The domestic garbage produced by the two people has been thrown in a certain corner of the lower space, but the amount will become astonishing over time.

It should be said that fortunately, some garbage is “disposed” by the space, otherwise… the daily headache of throwing out such garbage is enough for one person.

“It’s okay, just throw it outside the base next time we leave the space.” He Zizhong patted Fang Hao on the shoulder and threw the garbage into the corner of the lower space, not too worried. Even if throwing it outside is inappropriate and there is no place to deal with it, they can still use the toilet in the space that is automatically cleaned once it is closed and opened. That thing is simply a black hole, and nothing will be left behind if anything is put in it.

“It should be thrown farther away. It’s best to throw it in a place that is was originally a garbage dump.” Fang Hao, who is very environmentally conscious, yawned. Dazed when hungry and sleepy when full, he was sleepy.

Unlike Fang Hao, He Zizhong, who had warm thoughts quickly cleaned up what they left after eating. With arms strengthened after the end of the world, he hugged Fang Hao and walked directly from the sea back to the bamboo building.

From such a far place, he actually wants to walk back holding him all the way?!

Fang Hao was surprised and found it funny, but didn’t make a fuss about going down on his own, waiting for He Zizhong to complain about being tired. But who would have thought that his man’s perseverance is really impressive. He carried Fang Hao all the way back to the bamboo building and into the bathroom…

After that, everyone knows that the double cultivation is a good habit to stick to every day. It can exercise one’s internal strength and enhance the relationship between the young couple. He Zizhong took advantage of Fang Hao’s sleepiness and ate him clean, before carrying him to the second floor with ease.

The bamboo building is a little bigger than it was before, but the difference is not obvious. The volume of each room is a bit larger, and more things can be placed inside.

Tuanzi waited on the big bed for mama, who was already asleep in He Zizhong’s arms. After He Zizhong put him on the bed, it leaped into Fang Hao’s arms and despised He Zizhong along the way. Eat by themselves!

Yes, eat by themselves! Although it doesn’t know what’s so magical, they don’t ask it to join whenever eating something delicious, and don’t bring it along when they take a bath! Mama would bring it every time he took a bath, but when papa also entered, he would throw it outside! Isn’t it just eating by themselves, what’s so magical?

He Zizhong, whose face was growing thicker, ignored the voice of protest that entered his mind, and went to bed holding his person in his arms. Turning off the lights, he went to sleep.

At noon the next day, the two people who woke up late changed their clothes and ate early. Then they leisurely got out of the space and returned to the base.

They first stopped by the Samsara villa to say hello first. Guo Bing and the others haven’t returned yet, and only a few people who stayed behind were there to look after the house.

Then the two turned to walk to the place where the management fee was paid for the villa area.

Fortunately, rent is still paid by materials. While it may seem “cheaper” on the surface compared to before, in fact it has become more expensive. Food and clean water have both increased in price.

Instant noodles, whole bags of rice and flour collected before the end of the world are now hard to see in the base. Most of the supply circulating in the base is scattered rice and flour. Moreover, the continuous rains in the past days have made a lot of bulk grains moldy, so when the base is harvesting these things, they have to carefully check each rain of rice to make a careful identification.

Fortunately, they can tell if things are mixed into rice by being careful. But there are many other places where such things can be faked.

The couple had good luck this trip. There were only one group of people in front of them hanging over things. Those few people brought flour. Because it was not easy to distinguish the quality, they didn’t accept it at all, so it was their turn to step forward.

They did not dare to take out a whole bag of rice noodles, and took out some loose rice from the space in advance and packed them in the bag.

The appearance of rice is very good-can it be bad? What is placed in the space can not be broken.

But even if the rice is in good condition, the people who collect the rice dare not take it lightly, and actually put a small handful of it into an instrument next to it for careful inspection.

The two waited for more than an hour before they finished checking these things. When they left, their legs were numb.

Leaving the villa area, go straight to the mission hall. This hall is different from before they left. The office that manages team payments was moved to the second floor, and teams have to wait in line to enter a single room.

There are fewer teams lining up to pay management fees. After all, not every team can afford this expensive management fee. Crystal nuclei are not officially circulating in the base yet, and many registered teams with a name but rarely left the base simply disbanded their own teams under this restructuring. It is estimated that the number of registered teams will drop by a staggering number after this month.

 

I wonder what HZZ would do if it knew FH brought Tuanzi into the bathroom whenever he was bathing alone.
