Chapter 404 This was a fair and honest transaction, open to both young and old.
When Lin Yuan saw that everyone stopped working and looked at him as soon as he arrived, he waved his hand and said, "Go about your own business, don't worry about me."
Only then could everyone relax and begin the design and construction work again.
Lin Yuan then had Xu Muqing drive the armored vehicle slowly around the protective wall surrounding the Humidity Park, while he was thinking about how to reinforce and modify it in the future.
Transforming the entire wetland park into an enlarged villa fortress is clearly impractical, at least for now; neither the materials nor the points available are sufficient. The area is simply too vast.
Therefore, Lin Yuan's plan was to primarily modify the walls, creating alloy walls tens of meters high surrounding the wetland park. The upper and middle sections of the walls could then be used to place sentry posts and deploy heavy firepower. In this way, the defensive capabilities would be more than sufficient, and if a zombie siege were to occur, it could be easily resolved as long as the firepower was adequate.
Based on the current state of zombie evolution, we also need to consider the ecological self-circulation system within the wetland park, but that's a topic for later.
Now, relying on the agricultural and livestock products produced by the other three outdoor breeding and planting bases, as well as the dry food confiscated in the past, they are in a state of complete abundance.
While Lin Yuan was inspecting the area around the base, he could frequently see drones loaded with goods, making round trips.
Both above and below ground, there was a scene of bustling activity.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but think of Bridge City, wondering if the construction there was complete. Transforming Bridge City into a large survivor base was no simple undertaking. Therefore, Lin Yuan suspected that more troops would be deployed there later, and that the authorities might treat Bridge City as a crucial rear base and prioritize its development.
After all, even before the apocalypse, there were discussions online about the geographical location of Bridge City and the surrounding urban structure. If that's true, it would be a good thing for Lin Yuan. The more dazzling Bridge City is, the more it will dim the light of his place. To put it bluntly, if a large-scale zombie horde were to occur, Bridge City could share some of the burden for them.
Moreover, Lin Yuan now indeed has a semi-official background, so he has a legitimate reason to do things and doesn't have too many concerns.
After inspecting the area, Lin Yuan found a secluded spot to spar with Xu Muqing, mainly to train Xu Muqing's eagle eye to capture psychic energy.
And indeed, Xu Muqing developed Hawkeye's ability to a somewhat 'abnormal' degree.
Although her own reactions couldn't keep up with Lin Yuan's use of telekinesis, she could already see it. This also served as a reminder to Lin Yuan that if he were to face an evolved being like Hawkeye, the scope for using his telekinetic abilities might be somewhat limited.
Before we knew it, the sun was setting, and it was almost 7 p.m.
Inside the wetland park, the living area was already bustling with activity, with lights and bonfires lit up.
At the same time, Qin Zheng also contacted Lin Yuan through a communicator.
"Mr. Lin, everything is ready, we're just waiting for you to arrive," Qin Zheng said.
"it is good."
After hanging up the communication, Lin Yuan also notified Liu Yun and Qin Huan to let all the soldiers and workers involved in the construction rest, including the White Tower patrolling the perimeter.
As for protective measures, the animal vanguard team is more than enough.
The fact that a Siberian tiger was controlled by a chameleon significantly reduced the danger level.
……
Upon arriving at the living area, Lin Yuan discovered that nearly 10,000 people had already divided up the area into sections, with a huge bonfire burning in the center and smaller fires scattered around.
Most people sat on the floor, while only Lin Yuan, the women, and some senior and middle-level managers had tables, chairs, and benches set up.
As soon as Lin Yuan appeared, the cheerful crowd fell silent. Qin Zheng jogged over and said awkwardly, "Mr. Lin, I didn't mean to flatter you or create any hierarchy. There aren't enough tables and chairs here, and the soldiers and survivors have been eating on the ground, so this is how it's set up."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Yuan smiled and looked at the drinks, various foods, and poultry and livestock roasting by the campfire in front of everyone.
"That's fine, keep everything simple."
Lin Yuan didn't care much about this aspect, nor did he make any special effort. In short, he followed Qin Zheng's lead and sat down at the main table with the other women.
Tiger, Bald Wolf, Zhang Hanqiu, White Pagoda, Han Ying, Qin Zheng, Zhang Dazhuang, and others sat at several other tables nearby. Among them were several unfamiliar faces, presumably people they had promoted, whom Lin Yuan did not recognize.
"Mr. Lin, why don't you say a few words?" Qin Zheng said.
"No need, it's just having a meal together," Lin Yuan smiled.
He dislikes this kind of thing the most, and he doesn't like doing this kind of thing.
As a result, everyone still stared at him, as if expecting something.
Liu Qingxue smiled and said, "Xiao Yuan, you can't just sit back and do nothing now. Since you're the one who organized this, you have to say something. This isn't just formalism; it has to have a theme."
"Hahaha! Did you stump that old pervert?" Jiang Qian teased from the side.
Liu Yun chimed in, "Now is the best time to boost morale and cohesion."
"Alright! You guys can keep quiet, I understand."
Lin Yuan sighed helplessly, but still poured himself a beer and stood up.
Wow!
As he stood up, everyone in the entire wetland park stood up, holding their cups.
“From now on, everyone will be a member here. I told you before you came that I am not a great philanthropist. You can think of this as a fair transaction.”
"You help me build the base, and I will provide you with the necessary security, training, ample food, and medical care!"
"As long as everyone follows the rules, everything is fine. So far, there have been no violations of base rules and regulations, which is gratifying. I hope everyone will continue to do so."
After saying that, Lin Yuan downed the beer in his glass in one gulp.
These lukewarm words initially went unanswered, but soon thunderous applause and cheers erupted.
We're all smart people; no one's a fool to survive in the apocalypse.
If Lin Yuan were to say something noble and righteous at this moment, it would naturally inspire people, but in reality, it wouldn't have much effect. Instead, it would only make these guys more suspicious.
It's better to tell the truth.
The survivors worked and labored according to Lin Yuan's plan; that was their value.
Lin Yuan's value lies in his ability to protect them from zombies and provide them with sufficient food.
This was an honest and fair transaction, open to both young and old.
