Chapter 303 Base Common Sense
“The first is currency. Our base city has its own currency system. After all, we have so many people and so many things that need to be traded, and bartering will definitely be very troublesome... …”
“The full name of our currency is ‘Crystal Core Exchange Currency’, or Crystal Coin for short. As the name suggests, Crystal Coins can be directly exchanged for Crystal Cores, and it is a currency that everyone trusts!”
"The reason why we don't trade directly with crystal cores is because the quality, type, and level of crystal cores are different, and the prices will be very different. In essence, it is still a kind of barter, which is more troublesome. And the different quality, type, and grade of the crystal cores It will be much more convenient after the seed crystal cores are exchanged for crystal coins according to their respective proportions..."
"But now there is a problem - most of the crystal cores have no special powers, and the crystal coins are likely to collapse. ! So I personally suggest that you don’t exchange crystal coins for the time being..."
Duan Xuchang first talked about the currency system in the base city.
When Wang Tao heard the first half of the words, he was ready to exchange some currency. After all, no matter where he is, it is difficult to move without money.
But after hearing that this crystal coin was bound to the crystal core and might collapse now, he instantly became cautious again.
"Thank you! If you hadn't reminded me, I would have gone back to exchange for crystal coins..."
Wang Tao solemnly thanked me.
"You're welcome." Duan Xuchang smiled at first, and then sighed helplessly, "Oh... I still have some crystal coins saved in my hand. If I lose, I won't have anywhere to cry..."
Who would have thought that the zombies would just evolve, but the superpowers in the crystal core would evolve away...
Wang Tao shrugged helplessly, of course there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.
However, he felt that the crystal coin should not collapse.
After all, it seems that the Hope Research Institute has manufactured many things that can use crystal nuclei, such as power armor and the like.
Duan Xuchang also tried it when he was on the train before. Although those crystal cores without superpowers cannot be fused, they can still be used on power armor.
So Wang Tao feels that the price of crystal coins will definitely fluctuate, but a collapse will not happen.
"Then let's talk about the hierarchy and the distribution of major forces within the base. The base committee is naturally the highest authority, and the specific executive agency is the municipal office..."
"As for each Classification of major forces—someone in the force can become a committee member It's a large force! "
"There are currently 23 committee members. There are two people from each legion serving as committee members. There is only one person from other armies, so we have a total of six legions. There are 17 large forces in total.”
"The names of the six legions are the First Legion to the Sixth Legion. The ranking of these legions is not based on strength, but in the order of establishment. But the earlier the legion is established, the longer it will take to develop. The stronger the strength... Therefore, there is no problem in saying that the name of the legion is the strength ranking. For example, our third legion is ranked third..."
"As for what the legion is, you can simply understand it as reform. The former regular army. We have a complete combat system, combat equipment and a large number of soldiers..."
< br> "Our six major legions are the founders of the Changhe Base, the strongest combat power of the base, and the most stable cornerstone of the base! In fact, the committee members other than our legion were all given up by us on our own initiative... "
"In addition to the six legions, the remaining The large-scale forces are the Hope Research Institute, the Stormtroopers, and the Beihai Society..."
"Among these forces, the most transcendent one is naturally the Hope Research Institute, which is equipped with crystal core-related equipment and various pharmaceuticals. It’s all done by the Hope Research Institute..."
Wang Tao is very interested in this Hope Research Institute, especially the power armor they produced.
And Wang Tao wants to get a set of prosthetic limbs for Xiang Hongbin. The prosthesis Xiang Hongbin is currently using was 3D printed at a military base. It’s not that it can’t be used. It can only be said that there is still a lot of room for improvement. Judging from the technological level displayed by these powered armors and mechanical exoskeletons, it should not be difficult to get a better set of prosthetics for Xiang Hongbin...
"The last step is to divide some areas in the base. In addition to Our six armies are distributed throughout the base, and other forces basically have fixed areas of activity. For example, the Hope Research Institute is right in the middle of the base..."
"You guys can do that. put here Treat it as a normal city. Of course, this is still very different from the city before the apocalypse. For example, there are now superpower training grounds, firearms and weapon shops, schools for superpowers, and even casinos and romantic places... cough , Anyway, the Changhe base is very large and has relatively complete functions. I can’t explain the specific situation at once. You have to discover it slowly..."
Listening to Duan Xuchang’s introduction, everyone showed their emotions. A look of interest.
This Changhe base sounds really good!
There are even various entertainment facilities! Under what circumstances will there be entertainment facilities? Of course, this is when the sense of security is relatively high, otherwise who would be in the mood to have fun if they are always on tenterhooks! This shows that Changhe Base City is really safe!
Duan Xuchang further explained:
“But this does not mean that survivors will have no worries about food and clothing when they come to our Changhe base. The base is my home, and development depends on everyone. Everyone should contribute. The base makes its own contribution, and the level of contribution will determine the power and status an individual has in the base! This is very important!”
“Although our base has subsistence allowances! , even if the survivor does nothing, the base will not let him starve to death, but the price is that such people may be forced to go out to fight at any time, so after arriving at the base, it is better to find a job for ourselves. There are many jobs in the base. Even if you really don’t know anything, you can still work hard... This will definitely not be a problem for you, so I won’t go into details.”
Wang Tao and others nodded, which was expected.
Not to mention the Changhe Base, let’s just say that all the bases they have seen before, regardless of their size, will have something similar to their contribution. It is impossible to let the survivors eat and drink for free at the base, they must make some contribution.
Although this will divide people into three, six or nine grades - before the end of the world, they were actually divided, but not so straightforward - but it can also give people a motivation to climb up.
And in this situation, people who are strong and have made great contributions should have privileges.
This is not to squeeze ordinary people, but to give ordinary people a different kind of protection - if these people are not given privileges, then let’s not talk about whether they are willing to contribute to the base in the future. But even if you don't give people the privileges, can they not take it themselves? Anyway, they are powerful, so it’s not like they can’t get it!
If it really develops like this, the consequences will be serious - it could have been solved peacefully through negotiation, but force was used instead. The entire base is unlucky!
So this is actually a kind of protection for ordinary people!
The founder of the Six Legions base was also willing to give up part of his interests because of this issue.
Of course, since people are clearly divided into levels, some people will naturally be squeezed. This is inevitable and cannot be solved for the time being.
But for Wang Tao and his team, given their strength, let alone the upper management, there must be no problem with the middle management anyway.
...
Duan Xuchang talked a lot with Wang Tao and his group until late at night. He finally realized that it was getting late, so he stood up and left.
"Haha, maybe I was too tight before, but now that I'm safe, I'm talking more. I hope you don't mind!"
"What are you talking about? How can you say this? Tell us everything, we are already very grateful! Let’s stay and have a job together!”
Wang Tao was going to invite Duan Xuchang to have a meal, but Duan Xuchang refused.
"I haven't gone home today, my wife is waiting at home!"
Looking at the happiness on Duan Xuchang's face, Wang Tao smiled and nodded.
“Well, I really envy you!”
It is indeed enviable to be able to be with my wife in the apocalypse.
But as soon as Wang Tao said these envious words, he immediately felt several eyes coming towards him.
"Haha, I should be envious of you! I wish you a good sleep!"
Duan Xuchang blinked at Wang Tao, then left with a big smile.
Wang Tao personally sent him out. When he came back, he found that Wei Zhenguo and the others had taken the food and returned to their respective rooms. Only Ding Yuqin, the girls and Lightning were left.
Watching the women staring at him, Wang Tao felt slightly excited.
Could it be that you can relax with the girls tonight?
But it was obvious that he was overthinking it.
The girls suddenly glared at her in unison, and then went back to their rooms.
Even Jiang Shixue, who always liked to hang out with Wang Tao, left, and in the end only Lightning was left looking at Wang Tao longingly.
"...Oh! How pitiful, we can only depend on each other for survival!"
Wang Tao sighed loudly on purpose.
Seeing that he didn't get any response, he had no choice but to rub Lightning's dog's head, then took out some food, and after one person and one dog ate some briefly, he returned to the room.
The place Duan Xuchang arranged for Wang Tao and his party was a small courtyard with many rooms, but they were the only ones in the entire courtyard, so it was relatively clean.
Inside the room.
Wang Tao was lying on the bed, and Lightning was lying under the bed.
Without turning on the light, Wang Tao stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.
"It feels so reassuring..."
Wang Tao muttered.
This is the first time he has felt such a strong sense of security in such a long time since the end of the world.
This feeling is really comfortable!
“Sleep!”
Wang Tao closed his eyes. He had not slept peacefully for a long time.
But just when Wang Tao was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the sound of someone opening the door.
Lightning, who was lying on the ground, immediately raised his head, but soon continued to lie down again.
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows, he was a little curious about who the visitor was. But he didn't look or use his senses. He closed his eyes and purred slightly.
Not long after, Wang Tao felt a soft body gently climb onto his bed.
After making physical contact with the other party, Wang Tao instantly felt who it was without looking. "Sister-in-law, you are in the wrong room."
Wang Tao suddenly spoke.
Ding Yuqin was startled by Wang Tao's voice. Her face turned red and she lightly hammered Wang Tao's chest angrily.
“You pretended to be asleep on purpose to scare me!”
Wang Tao put his arm around Ding Yuqin's waist, looked at Ding Yuqin's watery eyes in the dark night, and said with a smile:
"Sister-in-law hasn't answered me yet, I said you went to the wrong room."< br>
“Humph~”
Ding Yuqin ignored him. But after feeling Wang Tao's dishonest hands, she bit her lip again and whispered in Wang Tao's ear:
"Bad man! I made the right move, I just came to sleep with you!"< br>
Unexpectedly, Ding Yuqin, who has always been thin-skinned, would say such things, and Wang Tao naturally couldn't bear it.
"...You actually called me bad! Wait!"
He was ready to teach Ding Yuqin a lesson, but suddenly there was another movement outside the door.
Wang Tao and Ding Yu are both supernatural beings. When they are awake, this little disturbance cannot be concealed from their perception.
The two stopped moving subconsciously. Lightning raised his head, then quickly lowered his head.
After a while, Wang Tao felt another person crawling onto his bed.
This touch, this smell...
“Yeah!”
Han Rui suddenly exclaimed. She thought Wang Tao was the only one on the bed, but she touched another person. This startled her.
"Officer Han, did you go to the wrong room too?"
Hearing Wang Tao's teasing, Han Rui instantly blushed like blood. She regretted a little, she should have used her senses to investigate earlier!
But it was not too late. She quickly used her perception to take a look and found that this "energy body" was very familiar...it was Ding Yuqin!
This immediately made Han Ruixiao breathe a sigh of relief. At least they were acquaintances who had depended on each other for a long time, and it was not like the three of them had not been together before... It was embarrassing, but it was not too embarrassing.
But Han Rui was also very thin-skinned, so she immediately said:
"I'm sorry, I went to the wrong place!"
After saying that, she was about to get up and leave.
Wang Tao was about to grab her, but someone took the lead - Ding Yuqin grabbed her arm.
Ding Yuqin was somewhat embarrassed after being teased by Wang Tao. But now, after seeing Han Rui who was very embarrassed, she suddenly no longer felt embarrassed!
Then Han Rui must be kept!
And if Han Rui didn't come, forget it. Now that she's here, there's no need to leave, otherwise it won't make her look domineering. Anyway, it’s not like they haven’t before...
Of course, Han Rui didn't really want to leave. When Ding Yuqin pulled her away, she didn't break away, but her face turned even redder.
Wang Tao took advantage of the situation and hugged Han Rui's waist.
"I've come here... the bed is big, I can sleep in it."
Han Rui half-pushed and lay in Wang Tao's arms.
Just when Wang Tao was hugging Ding Yuqin with one arm and Han Rui with the other, and was about to have an in-depth communication with the two, there was another movement outside the door!
And this time instead of one step, there are two!
Lightning didn’t even bother to raise its head this time, it obviously already knew who it was.
Wang Tao's eyes suddenly lit up. Could it be that tonight is really...
But it seems that the two people outside did not come together. After they saw each other, they seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then He left as if fleeing.
“……”
Wang Tao immediately used his perception ability to investigate.
One is Yang Changhong and the other is Lan Yulian.
He was suddenly disappointed, while Ding Yuqin and Han Rui in his arms breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then they both looked at Wang Tao at the same time, with slightly resentful expressions on their faces.
“Humph~”
The two of them agreed in a tacit understanding that Wang Tao must be punished tonight!
……
The next day.
When Wang Tao woke up, the two women were no longer around him, and even the lightning beside the bed was gone.
When he finished washing and getting dressed and went out, he saw Wei Zhenguo and others playing with Lightning in the yard.
They, the soldiers, naturally love military dogs from the bottom of their hearts. Even though Lightning is now the size of a calf and looks a bit scary, they still like it very much.
"Huh? You're actually up?"
When Wei Zhenguo saw Wang Tao, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
“What are these words!”
Wang Tao glared at him, he didn’t believe in his own strength!
"Haha!"
Xiang Hongbin and the others laughed loudly.
Ding Yuqin and the other girls who were preparing breakfast not far away had very calm faces. Just looking at their expressions, one could tell that they had no idea what happened last night.
What a good actor!
Wang Tao complained in his mind, and then prepared to go over to help, but was kicked out by several women for being "in the way".
Wang Tao shrugged helplessly. They were not like this last night.
Wang Tao had no choice but to run over and play with Lightning, which made Lightning very happy.
......
After eating the sumptuous breakfast prepared by the girls, everyone suddenly didn't know what to do.
No need to go outside to kill zombies, no need to be on duty, no need to check the base defense facilities, no need to comfort the frightened survivors... This kind of sense of security in Changhe Base makes them a little uncomfortable.
"Duan Xuchang asked us to wait for the notice from above. We have nothing to do until the notice arrives, so just take a good rest. This is a rare opportunity to rest..."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Even if the base is safe, they cannot stay here forever. They still have to go out and kill zombies to improve their strength. I will definitely be busy in the future, and now is indeed a rare opportunity to rest.
But Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something, and said quickly:
"Oh, by the way! I recently saved a batch of blood volume increasing crystal cores and peeling crystal cores, and I just took this time to give them to Improve your strength.”
Wang Tao had 110,000 health before. The reason why he had 10,000 more blood was because of the crystal core that increased his health. After he fused the blood volume-increasing crystal core, he peeled it off again, but the increased blood volume was still there!
Before, Wang Tao couldn't use it because there wasn't enough crystal core to peel off. Now he has enough crystal cores in his hand, which can be used to improve others.
“Okay!”
Everyone was not polite and looked forward to it.
After spending some time.
The blood volume of Ding Yuqin and Wei Zhenguo has increased to 110,000!
Next, it’s time for them to prepare for their awakening!
Wang Tao has 6 physical awakening keys in his hand, but there are not many fourth-level promotion crystal cores, and they can only be used by three people...
Who should come first?
Just when Wang Tao was about to discuss it with everyone, Duan Xuchang came over with a few strangers.
"Good morning, everyone! Let me introduce to you, this is Cui Sheng, Secretary Cui!"
A middle-aged man wearing a decent suit with a kind smile on his face stretched out to Wang Tao from a distance. out of hands.
"Hello, Mr. Wang! Just call me Xiao Cui!"
