Base

After Lin Yiran made a deal with the base, the base quickly sent the army to the reservoir to catch fish and store water. Their movements were relatively large, so the surrounding residents, especially those living in apartments, heard that there were many fish in the reservoir. Everyone rushed to the reservoir and used various methods to catch fish, indeed catching quite a few.

Of course, the location where the army and the residents catch fish is different. The army mainly catches fish in the upstream with professional fishing machines, and they can account for two-thirds of the fish in the reservoir. Residents can only use nets or buckets to catch fish in the ice holes dug in the downstream. Although there aren't many, they can also catch a few buckets of fish every time.

Su Yu and others avoided being seen as having a lot of food by not going out to catch fish. They would go out for two or three hours, then bring back one or two buckets of fish. There was no way, they had too many fish, so they could only put on an act. But now, even if there were fewer fish, the frozen freezer couldn't hold them. It was Gu Meng who came up with the idea of salting and drying the fish, then vacuum-packing it for storage, which could effectively solve this problem.

In just a few days, one of the leaders of the base, Fang Hai, invited them to the base via satellite phone and had something to discuss with them in person. The personnel who would go to the base hadn't been arranged yet. Qiu Qin expressed that he wouldn't go and would stay at home. After all, he had followed Lin Yiran to the base before. Li Zhun had also been there, but he still wanted to join in the fun. Su Yu, Bai Shang, and Gu Meng had never been there, so Lin Yiran decided that the five of them would go together, and Qiu Qin would stay at home.

The next morning, after having breakfast, the few of them put on thinner cotton jackets and went out. The ice surface is much thinner now than before. They walk cautiously, paying attention to their feet to prevent stepping on the broken ice and falling in. The new base is called Zhenxing Base and is located on a highland near the suburbs. Therefore, it has a higher terrain, and even if the ice melts, there is no need to worry too much about water accumulation. A few of them lined up behind others, and it took half an hour before it was their turn. The female staff at the entrance said, "Entering the base, each person needs to pay five catties of grain." Lin Yiran said, "We're not here to check in. We were invited by Director Fang Hai to come and discuss something." The female staff looked up, glanced at them, and then had a soldier notify someone. "Someone has been called to notify. Please wait aside." The few of them stood aside and didn't disturb others queuing up to check in. This female staff member handled the matter officially and didn't flatter them because she knew the person in charge of the base. It made Su Yu feel good. This female staff member was dressed in a base uniform, looking tall and straight, with a pretty face, and a conspicuous mole on the corner of her mouth. Wait a minute...a mole?! Suddenly, Su Yu's eyes lit up. She remembered that there was a very powerful wood-type ability user in the novel, and she had a mole on the corner of her mouth! Could this person be the famous ability user in the novel?! Su Yu secretly observed her, seeing that she noticed her gaze and nodded politely. Anyway, she would observe for a while. If it was, she wanted to bring this person into the team. In the end of the world, ability users are still a minority. All bases are eager to recruit them, especially the three major types of abilities: healing, water, and wood. This is also the reason why the original protagonist was so useless, but the male lead's team was still willing to bring her along. Healing abilities can mainly treat wounds. Powerful healing ability users can even cure wounds caught by zombies, such as the later heroine, Gu Meng. Water systems can provide water resources. After all, in the later years of the apocalypse, natural water is scarce. Bases rely on water system ability users to provide water. And the wood system can not only control plants for attacks, but more importantly, it can stimulate the growth of plant seeds and accelerate plant growth! Food is of the utmost importance! Su Yu saw that the other party also nodded back, with a consideration in her eyes. After the extreme heat, some people's bodies would get hot, which would trigger their abilities. Hopefully, she really is that person, and she can also stimulate her abilities. Then, there will be a chance to invite her to see... Beside her, Lin Yiran was also looking at her quietly, and before the other party noticed, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and pondered. Soon, someone came to pick them up. According to him, he was Fang Hai's assistant. Because of some delays, he couldn't meet them at the entrance. Now, he would take them to see Fang Hai. After they entered, they passed by rows of seven-story buildings, and many people were coming in and out. Finally, they came to a separate five-story tall building. After entering, the hall on the first floor was spotless, and many people were walking around busily. "This is the first floor of the administrative hall. Everyone comes here to handle the check-in and rental." The assistant walked upstairs, "We go to the third floor. Director Fang is waiting for us there." The few of them followed upstairs. When they reached the third floor, the assistant pushed open the wooden door and entered a office. In the office, Fang Hai saw them and hurried over, shaking hands with Lin Yiran. "Brother Lin, we meet again." Lin Yiran shook hands with him and got straight to the point, "What's the matter, Brother Fang? Why did you invite us here?" "Don't worry, you sit down first." Su Yu and the others sat down. Fang Hai looked at the assistant and signaled for him to pour tea. The assistant quickly gave each of them a cup of tea. The tea cups were made of glass, and the tea inside looked very new. It seemed that Fang Hai's treatment in the base was quite good. Then, Fang Hai asked the assistant to leave, and the assistant understood and left, closing the door for them. When there were only the six of them left, Fang Hai sat down and sighed. "Brother Lin, I want to ask for your help." Everyone looked at each other. Su Yu raised her eyebrows.
