After Meng De's mobilization meeting, the entire base plunged into a fervent agricultural endeavor.
The level of enthusiasm almost rivaled the era of "the bolder the people, the greater the production."
Driven by their unwavering loyalty to Meng De and the base's favorable conditions, the survivors worked with high spirits, free from any worries about their safety.
The beauties from the Bikang Group were also assigned to manage the base's grassroots affairs.
They fully utilized their professional initiative, bringing order and efficiency to the entire base.
It's worth mentioning that Jia Yi and the other "Bikang Four Beauties" also joined the base's management.
These four women were high-ranking executives at Bikang Group before the apocalypse, overseeing the livelihoods of tens of thousands.
Managing a small base was a breeze for them.
Unlike the previous 30-plus beauties from Bikang, these four held a status equivalent to Meng De's.
In a way, they issued commands as the base's top managers.
This was possible because everyone knew they were the women of the base's highest authority.
With Meng De's unwavering support behind them day and night...
And with Leng Feng and his guards ensuring security, a hierarchical pyramid structure was formed within the base.
Meng De - the Four Beauties - the four major subordinates led by Leng Feng (external) - the 30-plus Bikang beauties (internal) - the survivors!
Once this structure was in place, Meng De was completely liberated.
Essentially, all tasks were being handled by others.
Lei Qiang and Brother Jingfu led separate teams to collect supplies, and their missions went smoothly.
Driving several trucks, they managed to bring back a large amount of supplies daily.
According to them, they had already emptied three warehouses marked on the map.
The harvest was bountiful!
Unfortunately, during this process, eight guards who went out on the missions lost their lives.
This was unavoidable.
After all, as Meng De had observed, the number of zombies far exceeded that of humans.
If not for the zombies' limited intelligence and mobility, there would hardly be any survivors left.
Therefore, whenever survivors died during missions, Jia Yi and the others, following Meng De's instructions, provided substantial supplies to the families of the deceased guards as a form of "compensation for fallen soldiers."
Under this incentive, the number of people joining the supply collection missions not only didn't decrease but actually grew.
After all, those who returned safely from these missions received extra supplies as a reward for their bravery.
This was something the survivors who stayed on the island to grow crops didn't have.
As a certain fish-selling tycoon once said, "Am I afraid of the storm? The greater the storm, the higher the price of fish!"
The higher the risk, the greater the reward.
For those whose loyalty to Meng De had reached the level of unwavering devotion, this was undoubtedly a tremendous encouragement!
A post-apocalyptic order of "effort equals reward" was gradually being restored.
Unlike exploitative methods.
In Meng De's view, exploitation might work temporarily.
But prolonged exploitation could lead to backlash, and it wasn't impossible for someone to take you out with a single shot.
In the apocalypse, if you still think you can enforce the 996 or 007 capitalist routines, you're being naive.
You can't really be like some internet celebrities, enjoying the benefits of the era while mocking the younger generation for not being able to find jobs.
To make up for the loss of personnel in the base, Meng De had Lei Qiang and others recruit some survivors when they went out of the island.
With the benefits offered by Meng De's base, it's easy to believe that many survivors would be tempted.
And indeed, that's how it turned out.
In just five days, they had already brought back dozens of survivors.
So, the entire base was busy with planting, collecting, and managing.
Overall, the base was steadily developing.
The only thing that troubled Meng De was whether it was influenced by the four beauties, Jia Yi and the others.
The other women in Villa One also couldn't stay idle.
Sister Bai and Ru Jie, the culinary experts of Villa One, ensured the logistics;
Aunt Cheng and Da Mi Mi were continuously familiarizing themselves with their superpowers, absorbing crystal cores, and upgrading their superpower levels, both having reached the third tier;
Perhaps the only ones slacking off were Jiayao and Xiao Meibo.
These two girls often hung around the kitchen under the pretense of learning to cook; or they went to Ao Xue and others to learn about managing the base.
In short, every woman had her own tasks.
This was good, but Meng De still reminded them that improving their superpowers and strength should be their main focus.
In the apocalypse, survival ability is what matters most.
What does survival ability rely on? It's one's own strength!
Although Meng De didn't need these women to fight zombies.
But each woman still needed the most basic self-defense ability.
So Meng De's main daily task was to teach these women firearm practice.
Cough, the serious kind of firearm.
The not-so-serious kind of firearm.
That was reserved for private practice at night.
These days, perhaps Xiao Yao practiced more diligently.
After all, she had just XXX.
He wasn't a heartless guy.
Naturally, he had to spend more "crystal grains."
And it was double the "crystal grains"!
As an elder sister, to reduce her sister's burden.
Sharing half of the "crystal grains" was also reasonable.
But such happy days didn't last long.
Because their relatives came over.
Things like seeing red with a knife, after all, couldn't be done.
So the pressure fell on Aunt Cheng, Da Mi Mi, and Sister Bai.
These three women who had already broken through the zero distance.
Because among the remaining women.
Ao Xue, this iceberg CEO, needless to say.
This woman was very aloof, usually only allowing hand-holding or a kiss.
Cheng Feier and Liu Ruyun were a bit better.
Although they could also be eaten, and there was no shortage of groping.
But for some reason, they always held onto the last step.
Ru Jie was because of little Ling'er, this daughter was too clingy to her mommy, so he didn't get a chance to "leg" her.
As for Xiao Meibo, the island country's beauty queen.
He remembered a handsome godfather once told him: Don't be polite with island country women, stand up and pedal hard.
But this girl was too innocent every time she called him "Oni-chan."
Would it be too abrupt to suddenly "leg" her?
So the progress of lighting up the goddess was temporarily stuck here.
Fortunately, Meng De was not entirely without options.
After days of relentless effort.
Liu Ruyun, the caring elder sister, and Cheng Feier, the exceptional secretary, were almost completely won over by him.
In just a day or two, he would be able to enjoy "fresh meat."
The only question was which piece of m
eat he would savor first.
Just as he was eagerly anticipating his feast, a group of uninvited guests arrived on the island!
And they were intent on seizing the villa island.
"Boss, it's bad news! A group of people has already stormed in!"
