Chapter 1399 Digest It First
Soon, they began to have a heated discussion about various doomsday survival skills and combat techniques, and their words were full of passion and vitality.
Among them was a burly man with a determined look in his eyes. He brandished his long sword with great vigor. Every swing seemed to tear the air apart. He shouted at the top of his voice:
"See? In a narrow space, you have to use the knife like me to maximize its power!"
Standing next to him was a thin-faced man with a clever look in his eyes. He squinted his eyes slightly and smiled as he shared his experience:
"When you're looking for resources in the wild, you can't just rely on your eyes, you have to rely on this as well."
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at his head. "Just like last time, I successfully found a clean water source that was not polluted by carefully observing the flight path of the flock of birds."
Everyone was talking at once, and laughter was heard one after another.
During this interaction, the distance between them quickly narrowed.
Not only that, in the following days, the new members actively participated in the base's outdoor exploration missions, bringing new vitality and hope to the entire team.
However, while the growth of the team brought many benefits, it also brought Li Luo a rather tricky new problem - housing for the new members.
At present, the residential area of the Jinling base has already reached its saturation limit, and suitable houses have long been rented or sold out.
The villa area in residential zone C is even more overcrowded.
Even in the townhouse area where the robbery group's base is located, there is not a single vacant house.
As a result, the newly joined team members can only miss the comfortable and cozy residence in the villa area and temporarily live in the quarantine cabin provided by the authorities.
Of course, the people at the Hope Base did not complain too much about the housing problem. They knew very well that in this doomsday, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain was a blessing in disguise.
Although the journey to the Taodoutuan base to attend the meetings every day is quite long and the trip back and forth is tiring, everyone is optimistic and open-minded.
Everyone firmly believes that the current difficulties are only temporary setbacks and they will definitely be able to overcome this hurdle and welcome the dawn.
Moreover, the construction work of the Jinling base has never stopped and has been progressing in an orderly manner.
As the number of people continues to increase, construction work continues non-stop to provide shelter for more survivors.
A new building is gradually taking shape on the open space of the base. Construction workers are busy day and night. The roar of mixers and the banging sounds intertwine, playing the melody of hope.
The villa area has also gradually expanded outward on the original basis and its scale is increasing.
Witnessing these increasing numbers of buildings rising from the ground, people couldn't help but feel a ripple in their hearts for a stable and beautiful life in the future, and gradually developed an eager anticipation.
What is even more gratifying is that during this period, many members of the Hope Base have found their long-lost relatives and friends in the Jinling Base.
At the moment of reunion, excitement and joy surged into everyone's heart like a volcano erupting, and were written freely on everyone's face.
They hugged each other tightly, tears flowing uncontrollably like a flood, and held each other tightly with their hands, as if if they let go, the other person would disappear like fragile bubbles.
They choked with sobs as they spoke of the endless longing and hardships they had experienced since separation. All the pain and suffering they had experienced now turned into precious preparations for the reunion, making this joy even more unforgettable.
Everyone knows that all these opportunities originated from Li Luo.
It was she who led everyone from Hope Base to Jinling Base.
The journey was full of dangers, but she managed to lead everyone through it with her extraordinary courage and wisdom.
Now that the family has reunited, everyone's gratitude towards Li Luo is like a deep running stream, calm on the surface but filled with surging respect and gratitude inside.
In the Jinling base, the reputation of Li Luo and her group of robbers has skyrocketed.
Many people discussed privately that although Li Luo was a woman, her decisiveness and leadership were stronger than many men.
She led her gang and created a place for herself in this apocalyptic world, providing shelter for everyone and reuniting separated families.
Just for this kind of friendship and responsibility, the Taodou Group is worthy of everyone's wholehearted following.
This has resulted in a large number of people coming to the camp of the Taodou Group in recent days to seek to join.
The eyes of these people looking at Li Luo were full of admiration and trust, as if as long as they followed her, they would have hope and purpose in the future.
However, Li Luo's stealing group does not accept just anyone.
Sometimes she hires people based on her mood, and sometimes based on the profit.
Most of the time it depends on personal chemistry.
But at this stage, she is in no mood to recruit anyone.
After all, her team had just taken on so many people and was unable to handle more "fresh blood".
You have to digest it first.
Li Luo stood upright on the observation tower of the Taodou Group's base, his eyes slowly sweeping over the crowd gathered around the base camp, his brows involuntarily frowning slightly.
The people who gathered around and were eager to join the robbing group had eyes full of desire for survival and expectation for the future. Their blazing gazes seemed to be able to burn a hole in the haze of the end of the world.
But Li Luo had his own considerations.
She knew that if the team wanted to develop in the long run, it had to carefully select members and not expand blindly.
She turned to face Wei Kexin, who she had nurtured with great care, and said in a calm but unquestionable tone:
"Ke Xin, in the next period of time, you should focus on those who are kind-hearted, have a clean background, have a skill, and can smoothly integrate with the existing members of the team, and record their information in detail. Once our team has completed the internal reorganization and everything is stable and orderly, we can consider formally absorbing them. As for those who do not meet the requirements for the time being, don't let them return empty-handed. Provide them with some temporary help and basic guidance. After all, it can be regarded as a token of our gratitude to the Taobao Group."
Wei Kexin understood what he meant and nodded immediately, then turned around and left quickly to arrange various matters.
Li Luo fell into deep thought alone.
In this apocalyptic environment where zombies are rampant and crises are lurking on every side, she knows that the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness are like a solid foundation and are the key to survival.
Although the reputation of the Taodou Group is now at its peak, which is naturally a good thing, she must not be blinded by this temporary glory and disrupt the development of the team.
She silently planned in her mind that in the coming days, she would strengthen the training of new and old members in all aspects, and enhance the tacit understanding and coordination between them through various means.
At the same time, we must carefully formulate a more complete and reasonable set of team rules and a clear and detailed division of labor system.
She wanted to ensure that during the period after she was gone, the Taodou Group would continue to move forward steadily and become a solid fortress that everyone could truly rely on, rather than falling into the quagmire of chaos and decline due to temporary expansion.
