Chapter 66: Untitled
Yuanxin Base, dozens of people have joined in recent times, making this small base look less deserted and a bit lively. Of course, it's not that noisy, but there are more people.
Under Shangguan Xiaoxue's management, Yuanxin Base still has no problems. The newly joined survivors have a high sense of identity with Yuanxin Base. After all, they can eat well, stay away from the threat of zombies and mutant animals, there are no thugs, and they don't have to worry about losing their lives at any time. This kind of life can be said to be a happy life.
One night, I don't know how Shangguan Xiaoxue persuaded Ye Xiaomei. Anyway, Gu Ming has one more woman from now on. Shangguan Xiaoxue officially moved into Gu Ming's home. Gu Ming's elders are still very open-minded. Knowing that the times are different, Zhang Xia is even happier. Her son has one more woman, and there is one more chance to have a grandson. She has been nagging Gu Ming for a long time about not having a grandson. Zhang Jianguo does not have the idea of favoring boys over girls, but Zhang Xia has a little bit, although she has never said it in front of Ye Xiaomei.
After trading with the official base in the county twice, Shangguan Xiaoxue never went there again, which made Gong Tianci, the owner of the exchange center, a little regretful. After all, beautiful women are liked by all men. Even if they are not his women, it is good to satisfy his eyes.
After all, she is his woman. Gu Ming does not want Shangguan Xiaoxue to work so hard, and the risk is not small, so he asked Gu Xiao to be responsible for the transaction with the official, which is not difficult for Gu Xiao. ♦
There is no wall that is impermeable. The transaction between Yuanxin Base and the official base has been received by other small civilian bases in the county.
The news that Yuanxin Base has a large amount of supplies has spread to various bases in the county. What kind of world is the end of the world? Although the basic control of the country is still there, this is the official base. The small and large civilian bases have basically degenerated into a feudal society. The managers in the base are no different from local emperors. Many survivors who enter such a base are worse than death. It is not that they do not want to escape, but they are restricted.
Don't the authorities know about this situation? They do, but they just can't manage it. It's hard to manage the official bases themselves now. As long as those civilian bases don't openly raise the banner of splitting the country, the authorities won't care. After all, it's better for survivors to survive in those bases than outside. The leaders of those bases are not stupid. They can't exploit the survivors too much, otherwise they will be in trouble.
It's conceivable how much impact the transactions between Yuanxin Base and the official bases have had on other bases. In their eyes, Yuanxin Base is just a child walking on the street with a golden baby, and they can eat it at any time.
After the fourth transaction with the official, several teams followed Gu Xiao's convoy, and they seemed to have bad intentions. He showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Gu Ming ordered him not to kill people casually, but he could kill hostile enemies without mercy.
"Assistant Gu, what's wrong?"
Dong Dawei saw Gu Xiao's sneer and was a little puzzled.
"You go first, I'll deal with some troubles, I'll go back by myself later."
Gu Xiao didn't say that someone was following them, but just asked Dong Dawei to take the convoy back first.
At a corner, Gu Xiao got off the car and looked at the convoy going away. Gu Xiao had no expression on his face. He jumped more than ten meters high and reached the top of a building next to him. It was time to hunt below, he thought secretly in his heart.
After Gu Xiao cleaned up the malicious people who were following him, he returned to the base by himself. He came to Gu Ming's house. Gu Jianguo and others were chatting in the living room. When they saw him come in, they knew he was looking for Gu Ming, so they said.
"Gu Ming is on the second floor."
"Okay, thank you."
Go straight to the second floor and find Gu Ming in the toy house. The couple was playing with the two children. There were bursts of laughter. It can be seen that the two little guys are very happy. After all, it has been a long time since Gu Ming and his wife played with them. Children are easily satisfied.
"Chief, I'm back."
Gu Ming knew that the other party must have something to ask him, otherwise he would not come to him, he should be looking for Shangguan Xiaoxue. If the things in the base were not very important, he would not come to him. He could be said to be a hands-off boss.
"Okay, you play with mom, dad has work to do."
The two little monsters did not doubt it, but fortunately Ye Xiaomei comforted them with kind words and they did not make a fuss. Gu Ming took Gu Xiao to the study on the third floor. After sitting down, Gu Xiao began to report the changes in this transaction.
"Chief, this transaction at the official base was normal, but when we came back, there were several cars following us."
"Oh, did you solve all the followers?"
"Yes."
Gu Ming did not say anything, just nodded. He had expected this situation, but he did not expect that someone could not help it so soon. I don't know if it was sent by the official.
"Have you asked where those people were sent from?"
"We have, they were not sent by the official authorities, but from other small bases."
Gu Ming didn't believe that the official authorities didn't know that other bases had sent people to follow them. You have to know that the official authorities have the greatest influence in the county, and they couldn't be unaware of the movements of other bases. Maybe the official authorities were organizing them to test them. But he didn't expect Gu Xiao's methods to be so cruel. All the people who followed them were killed, leaving no one alive.
We should leave a way out. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. The current Yuanxin base is too close to the county town, and there is no shelter around it. It is easy to be discovered in the plains, and it is not conducive to defense. If it were not his hometown, Gu Ming would not have thought of building a base in this small village at first. Building a base here is a complete mistake, he thought secretly in his heart.
Gu Ming thought for a while, made up his mind, and left the house with Gu Xiao and came to Shangguan Xiaoxue's office in the office building. Sure enough, he saw her working.
"Haha, busy."
Seeing Gu Ming come in and hearing him laugh, Shangguan Xiaoxue rolled her eyes, stood up, and said coquettishly.
"Who am I so busy for."
Gu Ming received the big beauty's rolling eyes, knowing that she was joking, but he was also lazy, leaving everything in the base to her to do, so he quickly raised his hands and surrendered.
"Okay, my fault."
After the two sat down on the sofa, Shangguan Xiaoxue did not blame him anymore. After all, his subordinate Gu Xiao was around, and he had to maintain Gu Ming's dignity as the leader. She didn't know that Gu Xiao had decided not to have any ideas.
Assistant Zhang Ting came in with two cups of coffee and put them on the table. Gu Ming smiled and said to her.
"Thank you."
After Zhang Ting left, Shangguan Xiaoxue took the cup and drank a sip of coffee, then asked Gu Ming with a smile.
"What's the matter?"
Shangguan Xiaoxue was already his woman, and Gu Ming did not hide many things from her. Regarding the system, Gu Ming just changed the statement and said that he had a superpower, and as long as he had a brain core, he could exchange for a lot of supplies. Shangguan Xiaoxue then understood why Gu Ming attached so much importance to the brain core.
Gu Ming told her that someone was following this transaction, and also told her about his plan to find a place to build a hidden base, so that he would have a way out.
In fact, Shangguan Xiaoxue had long wanted Gu Ming to find another place to build a base. The location of Yuanxin Base was not very good. There were no shelters on all sides, so it was difficult to defend. It was also very close to the county town. The authorities might have known where their base was. Don't underestimate the power of the authorities. Even at the end of the world, the power of the authorities was still very strong. As long as they used military satellites to conduct reconnaissance, they could know the location of their base. It was just unknown whether the authorities in the county town had reported it to the higher authorities.
Shangguan Xiaoxue told Gu Ming all these guesses. He knew that Xiaoxue should have guessed correctly, thinking that it would be best to have a place to build a base.
After Gu Ming chatted with Shangguan Xiaoxue for a while, he took Gu Xiao to the logistics department, got on the tank, and drove out of the base to the north.
