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 coins 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 crystal cores are not traded directly is because the quality, type, and grade 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 various It will be much more convenient after the 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 superpowers, 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 thanked him solemnly.

"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 money, 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 coins should not collapse.

After all, at present, the Hope Research Institute has manufactured many things that can utilize 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.

Therefore, 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 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 the classification of the major forces - the major forces are those in which someone can become a committee member!"

"There are now a total of 23 committee members. Each legion has two people serving as committee members, and other forces only have one person serving as committee member. We have a total of six legions. So there are a total of 17 large forces."

"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, it is not a problem to say 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 the regular army before the reform. We have a complete combat system, combat equipment and a large number of soldiers..."

"Our six major legions are the founders of the Changhe Base. They are the base's strongest combat power and the most stable cornerstone of the base! In fact, except for the number of committee members other than our legions, we took the initiative to give them up..."

"Except for the six major legions, the remaining large forces are the Hope Research Institute, the Stormtroopers, and the Beihai Society..."

"Among these forces, the one with the most transcendent status is naturally the Hope Research Institute. Equipment related to the crystal core, various medicines, etc. are all produced 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 that 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...

"Finally, some areas within the base are divided. Except for our six legions, which are distributed throughout the base, other forces basically have fixed areas of activity. For example, the Hope Research Institute is in the middle of the base... "

"You can completely treat this place 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, romantic places... Well, anyway, the Changhe base is very large and has relatively complete functions. I can’t finish the details at once, so you have to discover them slowly..."

Listening to Duan Xuchang's introduction, everyone showed 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 make their own contribution to the base, and the level of contribution will determine what an individual has in the base. Power and status are very important!”

"Although our base has a minimum living allowance, even if the survivors do nothing, the base will not let them starve to death, but the price is that such people may be forcibly recruited to fight at any time! So after arriving at the base, it is better to find a job for yourself. There are many jobs in our 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 say more."

Wang Tao and others nodded, which was within their expectations.

Not to mention the Changhe Base, just the various bases they have seen before, regardless of size, will have something similar to contribution. It is impossible to let the survivors eat and drink for free in the base, and they must make some contributions.

Although this will divide people into different levels - in fact, it was divided before the end of the world, but it was not so straightforward - but it can also give people a motivation to climb up.

And in this situation, people with strong strength and great contributions should have privileges.

This is not to exploit ordinary people, but to give ordinary people a different kind of protection - if you don't give these people 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 them privileges, can't they take them themselves? Anyway, they are strong, it's not like they can't get it!

If it really develops like this, the consequences will be serious - it could have been resolved peacefully through negotiations, but force was used. The whole base will be in trouble!

So this is actually a kind of protection for ordinary people!

The founders of the six major legions were willing to give up some of their interests because of this problem.

Of course, since people are clearly divided into levels, some people will naturally be exploited. This is inevitable and cannot be solved for the time being.

However, for Wang Tao and his party, with their strength, let alone the upper level, there will definitely be no problem with the middle level.

...

Duan Xuchang talked a lot with Wang Tao and his party, and talked until late at night. He finally realized that it was a little late, so he got up and said goodbye.

"Haha, maybe I was too nervous before. Now that I'm safe, I'm talking more. I hope you don't mind!"

"What are you talking about? We are already very grateful that you can tell us all these things! Stay and have a meal together!"

Wang Tao was going to invite Duan Xuchang to dinner, but Duan Xuchang refused.

"I haven't been home yet today. My wife is waiting at home!"

Looking at the happiness on Duan Xuchang's face, Wang Tao smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I envy you so much!"

It's really enviable to be with my wife in the end of the world.

But as soon as Wang Tao said these words of envy, he immediately felt several eyes cast over.

"Haha, it should be me who envies you! I wish you a good sleep!"

Duan Xuchang blinked at Wang Tao, then laughed and left.

Wang Tao personally sent him out, and when he came back, he found that Wei Zhenguo and the others had taken the food back to their respective rooms. Only Ding Yuqin and the other women and Lightning were left.

Looking at the way the women stared at him, Wang Tao felt a little excited.

Could it be that he could relax with the girls tonight?

But it was obvious that he thought too much.

The girls suddenly glared at her at the same time, and then went back to their rooms.

Even Jiang Shixue, who always liked to stick with Wang Tao, left, and in the end, only Lightning was left looking at Wang Tao eagerly.

"... Alas! Poor thing, we can only depend on each other!"

Wang Tao deliberately sighed loudly.

After getting no response, he had to rub Lightning's dog head, and then took out some food. After eating a little, the man and the dog went back to the room.

The place Duan Xuchang arranged for Wang Tao and his group was a small courtyard with many rooms, but there were only their group of people in the whole courtyard, so it was relatively quiet.

In the room.

Wang Tao was lying on the bed, and Lightning was lying under the bed.

Without turning on the lights, Wang Tao opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling.

"What a sense of security..."

Wang Tao muttered.

It has been so long since the end of the world, and this is the first time he has such a strong sense of security.

This feeling is really comfortable!

"Go to sleep!"

Wang Tao closed his eyes. He hadn't had a good sleep 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.

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows. He was a little curious about who the person was. But he didn't look, nor did he use his perception. He closed his eyes and deliberately made a slight snoring sound.

Not long after, Wang Tao felt a soft body gently climbed onto his bed.

After physical contact with the other party, Wang Tao didn't need to look, and instantly felt who it was.

"Sister-in-law, you went to the wrong room."

Wang Tao suddenly spoke.

Ding Yuqin was startled by Wang Tao's voice. Her face was slightly red, and she lightly hit Wang Tao's chest with some annoyance.

"You pretended to sleep to scare me!"

Wang Tao put his arm around Ding Yuqin's waist, looking at her watery eyes in the dark night, he smiled and said:

"Sister-in-law hasn't answered me yet, I said you went to the wrong room."

"Hmph~"

Ding Yuqin ignored him. But after feeling Wang Tao's dishonest hands, she bit her lips again and whispered in Wang Tao's ear:

"Bad man! I didn't go to the wrong room, I just came to sleep with you!"

Wang Tao naturally couldn't stand Ding Yuqin saying such a thing.

"... You actually said I was bad! Wait!"

He was going to teach Ding Yuqin a lesson, but there was another noise outside the door.

Wang Tao and Ding Yu were both superpowers. When they were awake, they could not hide this little movement from their perception.

The two subconsciously stopped their actions. Lightning raised his head and quickly lowered his head.

A moment later, Wang Tao felt that another person climbed onto his bed.

This touch, this smell...

"Ah!"

Han Rui suddenly exclaimed. She thought it was only Wang Tao on the bed, but she touched another person, which scared her.

"Officer Han, did you go to the wrong room too?"

Hearing Wang Tao's ridicule, Han Rui's face turned red. She regretted it a little. She should have used her perception to investigate earlier!

But it's not too late now. 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 Rui feel relieved. At least they were acquaintances who had depended on each other for a long time, and the three of them had done this before... It was embarrassing, but not too embarrassing.

However, Han Rui was also very thin-skinned, and she immediately said:

"Sorry, I went the wrong way!"

After saying that, she was about to get up and leave.

Wang Tao was about to hold her back, but someone got there first - Ding Yuqin grabbed her arm.

Ding Yuqin was still a little embarrassed after being teased by Wang Tao. But now, after seeing the very embarrassed Han Rui, she suddenly didn't feel embarrassed!

Then Han Rui must stay!

And if Han Rui didn't come, it would be fine. Since she came, there was no need to leave, otherwise she would appear to be very domineering. Anyway, they had done this before...

Han Rui naturally didn't really want to leave. Ding Yuqin pulled her like this, and she didn't break free, but her face became even redder.

Wang Tao took the opportunity to hug Han Rui's waist.

"Since you're here... the bed is big, you can sleep."

Han Rui half-heartedly lay in Wang Tao's arms.

Just as Wang Tao was holding Ding Yuqin with one hand and Han Rui with the other, and was about to have a deep exchange with the two, there was another movement outside the door!

And this time it was not one footstep, but two!

Lightning didn't even bother to raise its head this time, it obviously knew who it was.

Wang Tao's eyes lit up immediately, could it really be tonight...

However, the two people outside didn't seem to come together. After seeing each other, they seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then fled away.

"..."

Wang Tao immediately used his perception ability to investigate.

One was Yang Changhong, and the other was Lan Yulian.

He was a little disappointed, while Ding Yuqin and Han Rui in his arms breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they both looked at Wang Tao at the same time, their faces a little resentful.

"Humph~"

They agreed very tacitly that they must punish Wang Tao tonight!

...

The next day.

When Wang Tao woke up, there was no trace of the two women around him, and even the lightning beside the bed was gone.

When he finished washing and dressing and went out, he saw Wei Zhenguo and others playing with Lightning in the yard.

These soldiers naturally love military dogs from the bottom of their hearts. Even though Lightning is now as big as a calf and looks a bit scary, they still like him very much.

"Huh? You got up?"

Wei Zhenguo raised his eyebrows when he saw Wang Tao.

"What are you talking about!"

Wang Tao glared at him. He didn't believe in his own strength!

"Haha!"

Xiang Hongbin and others laughed.

Ding Yuqin and the other girls who were preparing breakfast not far away had very calm faces. Just looking at their expressions, they had no idea what happened last night.

What an acting skill!

Wang Tao complained in his heart, and then he was about to go over to help, but was driven out by the girls for "getting in the way".

Wang Tao shrugged helplessly. They were not like this last night.

There was no way, Wang Tao had to run over to play with Lightning, which made Lightning very happy.

…

After finishing 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’s defense facilities, no need to comfort the frightened survivors…the sense of security in the Changhe base made them a little uncomfortable.

“Duan Xuchang asked us to wait for the notice from above. We have nothing to do before the notice arrives, so let’s take a good rest. A rare opportunity to rest…”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Even if the base is safe, they can’t stay here all the time. They still have to go out to kill zombies to improve their strength. They 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 hurriedly said:

“Oh, by the way! I have recently accumulated a batch of blood volume enhancement crystal cores and peeling crystal cores. It’s just right to take this time to improve your strength.”

Wang Tao’s blood volume was 110,000 before, and the reason why he had an extra 10,000 was because of the blood volume enhancement crystal core. After he fused the blood volume enhancement crystal core, he peeled it out again, but the increased blood volume is still there!

Because Wang Tao didn't have enough crystal cores before, he couldn't give them to everyone. Now he has enough crystal cores, so he can upgrade others.

"Okay!"

Everyone was not polite and was looking forward to it.

After spending some time.

The HP of Ding Yuqin, Wei Zhenguo and others has increased to 110,000!

Next, it's time for them to prepare for awakening!

Wang Tao has 6 physical awakening keys in his hand, but there are not many fourth-level promotion crystal cores, which can only be used by three people...

Who should go first?

Just when Wang Tao was about to discuss with everyone, Duan Xuchang came with a few strangers.

"Good morning, everyone! Let me introduce you, this is Cui Sheng, Secretary Cui!"

A middle-aged man in a decent suit with a kind smile on his face stretched out his hands to Wang Tao from a distance.

"Hello, Mr. Wang! Just call me Xiao Cui!"
