Chapter 353

The Xiangyang Base occupied the entire Song City and a large area of open space outside it.

If viewed from the air, the base could be seen as a very standard square.

This was also Lin Qianhuan’s intention; building walls would be more convenient, and the zoning would be easier to manage.

The living area was located in the northwest direction of the Xiangyang Base, with countless residential complexes of various sizes, enough for 50,000 people to successfully move in.

With the help of Zhuzi, the zombies in Song City were quickly cleared, and the survivors worked together to build crude walls with various obstacles.

In the very center of the Xiangyang Base stood a tall building, which happened to be the pre-apocalypse municipal government building, perfect for use as office space.

Lin Qianhuan arranged the temporary conference room on the first floor of the building.

After simply cleaning the conference room, Lin Qianhuan, Jiang Xing, Yi Zhonglin, Su Bocheng, Liu Nongyun, and the captains of various Superpower teams each chose a chair and sat down.

“The reason I’ve called everyone here today is to discuss the future development plan of Xiangyang Base.

Infrastructure construction is certainly important, but at the same time, we must rationally allocate manpower, and each area should be assigned someone to be responsible.

Xiangyang Base is currently tentatively divided into a living area, a trading area, an office area, and a planting area.

In addition, there will be a Security Bureau, a Central Hospital, and a Research Institute.

Everyone can speak freely, recommending themselves or others, and try to determine the temporary person in charge today.

If you perform well and have outstanding abilities, you can officially take office.”

Yi Zhonglin pondered for a long time before raising his hand: “I apply to be the person in charge of the trading area.

My father was in charge of the trading area at Nanfeng Base, and I learned a lot from him.

Although I’m not very skilled, I can continue to learn while working.”

Lin Qianhuan nodded: “Those who agree, raise your hands to vote. If you have other nominees, you can also express your views.

We are speaking based on ability. Whoever is more capable will be elected, and it has nothing to do with your surname, understand?”

She would not cling to personal relationships. Even if she was very familiar with Yi Zhonglin, she would not easily let him be in charge of an area.

After all, building Xiangyang Base was a task issued by the system, and no parasites were allowed to destroy the foundation of the base.

The meeting lasted for a full two hours, and finally, the people in charge of each area were selected.

Su Bocheng was in charge of the Central Hospital. The Su family had practiced medicine for generations, and he could also bear the title of Dean.

Yi Zhonglin for the trading area, Liu Nongyun for the Security Bureau, Wang Anxu for the office area, Tang Yao for the Research Institute, and Lin Qianhuan for the planting area.

In fact, Lin Qianhuan, as the base leader, should be responsible for the work in the office area.

However, food was the foundation for the vigorous development of Xiangyang Base, and she was not at ease handing it over to others.

Furthermore, the grain seeds in the real world must not be as good as those in the Space, so it was most appropriate for her to be the person in charge of the planting area.

Lin Qianhuan cleared her throat: “Now the person in charge of the living area has not yet been determined. Is anyone willing to sign up?”

She looked around at everyone present, but no one said a word.

Faced with this situation, Lin Qianhuan understood.

The living area had more complicated and trivial matters, and usually had to deal with various interpersonal relationships and verbal conflicts, which was a thankless job.

Especially after the apocalypse, everyone’s temperament was very strong, which meant that the person in charge needed to spend a lot of energy in the living area, requiring too much effort.

Seeing no one answering, Lin Qianhuan was about to call someone’s name, but was attracted by a soft female voice.

“I want to.”

Everyone looked over in surprise. The person speaking was Su Zhao.

She had just accompanied Yi Zhonglin to the meeting, and had been listening all along, but still stood up at this moment.

“I know I’m just an ordinary survivor, I haven’t awakened any abilities, and my combat power is certainly not as good as any of you here.

But managing the living area requires seriousness and care, not fighting skills.

So thinking about it this way, I’m not much different from you.”

Su Zhao stood up straight under the gaze of Yi Zhonglin and Su Bocheng: “In the apocalypse, many important positions are out of reach for women.

Especially for ordinary women who have not awakened their abilities.

But we also have abilities, and we don’t lack anything compared to others, and we are even more resilient.

I don’t want to always be a porcelain doll trapped at home, I also want to contribute my strength to Xiangyang Base.

I want to let everyone open their eyes and see, we women are not lacking in anything, and we can even do things better!”

After Su Zhao finished speaking, the conference room was silent, and then burst into wave-like applause.

“Good! I vote for Miss Su!”

“Miss Su is right, I also recommend Miss Su to be elected.”

Of course, not all voices in the conference room were like this.

A male Superpower team leader frowned and said: “I have no objection to Miss Su being elected.

But before that, I still want to make it clear.

The living area is very important to Xiangyang Base, and it needs to manage countless survivors and various emergencies and housing damage issues.

This means that the person in charge needs to devote themselves to the living area, and it may be difficult to even get a full night’s sleep. It’s also a tiring job for Superpower users.

Miss Su is an ordinary survivor, and her physical strength and energy are not as good as Superpower users.

And you have just been married not long ago, how do you plan to balance your family and work in the future?

And how can you ensure that your body will not collapse in the complicated work?

I have no malice, but these words will have to be asked one day, so why not ask them today.”

Lin Qianhuan turned her head to look at Su Zhao, and did not speak for her.

The Superpower team leader who raised the question was straightforward. He had offended many people because of his fast mouth, but he had no bad intentions.

He had been working hard for the survivors along the way and was a true person who cared about the people.

That’s why he asked such sharp questions.

Because he was also worried, afraid that Su Zhao had only volunteered on a whim.

In case she found it too hard and tiring after a few days and quit, re-electing someone would definitely affect the construction speed of the base.

Su Zhao was not annoyed when she heard this. She naturally knew that the people present would have such doubts.

If she wanted to formally serve as the person in charge of the living area of the base, she had to make her attitude clear and let everyone know her ability.

“I am indeed behind in terms of physical strength and energy. This is my shortcoming, and it is also an insurmountable gap between me and the Superpower users.

But I have shortcomings, and naturally I also have advantages.

I can use my efforts and dedication to make up for my shortcomings. I am a doctor and can handle sudden illnesses of residents in the living area in a timely manner.

I have empathy and can understand the difficulties of residents, so I can consider and solve problems from their perspective.

As for family matters, my husband is now the director of the trading area. He can’t even take care of his own family, so why should I abandon everyone for my own small family?

Family is for both parties, not just for women. He hasn’t even considered how to balance his family, so why should I consider it?

Furthermore, I have no plans to have children, and it will not affect the work progress.”
