#423 - Chapter 423 Green Source School 1
Qin Jin sat in his chair.
In his hand, he held another far-reaching document.
Besides the badge matter, there was actually another significant event to announce today.
Education!
Qin Jin had never forgotten this medium for the transmission of human civilization.
It was just that conditions hadn't permitted it before.
Back then, the apocalypse had just begun, and everything had to prioritize survival, so of course, it was impossible to immediately bring up something that wasn't so crucial to survival.
The team members were doing everything they could to raise and reinforce the walls, and desperately searching for supplies and food; who would have the energy to engage in education?
If they hadn't made it through that time and Green Source had fallen, it wouldn't have been necessary anyway.
Only now, in the current state, could Qin Jin bring up this matter.
Green Source School!
Among the many newly constructed buildings in the sub-base, he had reserved a small building, originally intended specifically for the future children and descendants of the base personnel to study.
In his vision, children no older than 14 should receive education.
Eliminating useless subjects such as foreign languages and politics from the past, the main subjects of study would be Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and geography.
Even if the apocalypse never ended, at least human knowledge could continue to be passed down.
The living next generation also needed to know what kind of world they were in and the basic common sense they needed to understand.
This was the continuation of civilization.
Qin Jin had also made various preparations for this long ago.
Not to mention the various physical books and electronic materials collected during peacetime, after the apocalypse began, he also had team members collect textbooks for various grades when they went out.
Countless papers and documents from kindergarten to university, and even graduate and doctoral dissertations, were stored.
"I hope these people can treat it well and not disappoint my good intentions."
Qin Jin looked at the roster of school-age children in the base in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
This was definitely one of the kindest things he had done since the apocalypse!
Currently, there were 11 children under the age of 14 in the main base.
There were 9 in the sub-base.
There were a full 24 children with level 1 or higher qualifications in the three residential areas and Green Source Zone!
In total, there were 44 children no older than 14!
Considering that there were currently thousands of people at level 1 or above in the base and the entire Green Source Zone, the proportion of children was relatively low!
It was conceivable that the survival rate of children in the apocalypse was really not high.
Without the care of adults, most of them, still children, would lose the possibility of survival.
All the children in the main base and sub-base had at least one relative.
The target of Qin Jin's recruitment this time was these 44 children.
The children in the main base would be arranged for separate education within the main base, while the other children would be placed in the school in the sub-base.
Other survivors in the Green Source Zone who had not yet reached level 1 were still not included.
Sorry.
The base's strength was not yet sufficient to indefinitely support all the children.
Because this not only required the base to send out the previously recruited teachers, but also to provide these children with two simple meals and supporting learning resources.
It might not sound like much.
But this was the apocalypse.
Perhaps no more than a handful of forces in the entire world could afford to build schools now, right?
Perhaps only Green Source was doing this?
Qin Jin didn't know the answer.
Only after learning that the base's grain harvest was confirmed and that Green Source had developed to its current scale did he have the courage to re-establish an educational system for the children.
Whether these children could create contributions for the base in the future was still unknown.
"If I've decided, just do it; there's no need to think too much. If it really doesn't work, just stop it."
He sighed, then picked up the walkie-talkie and dialed several cadres.
Arrange it as soon as possible so that the survivors outside know about it and prepare.
————————————
Evening.
Sun Youbin, having finished a day's work, had just returned to the sub-base to collect his dinner.
He was an olfactory evolutionist.
He was also a respected and envied level 4 personnel.
Since the day Wang Yang discovered his talent and absorbed him into the sub-base, he had become a staff member in the sub-base specializing in inspections and audits.
Whether it was new survivors coming to the base or routine patrol work, he was an important member of the team.
Because his ability was really too useful.
Sometimes outside, he didn't even need to enter a building; he could use his sense of smell to determine whether there were zombies hidden inside.
If his combat power wasn't too low and the base also needed someone like him to be stationed, Qin Jin would have wanted to incorporate him into the combat troops to go out and fight with Li Bowen and the others.
Auxiliary abilities such as smell and hearing were indeed extremely useful at certain times and could produce unexpected effects.
"Another day's work is over. I wonder what we're eating today? I'm really looking forward to it~~~"
"And today's Green Source badge, it feels really impressive to wear it out! The level 1-2 personnel outside are practically drooling when they see my four leaves~~~ Tsk tsk~~~"
Resting in the sub-base, the thirty-something-year-old couldn't help but feel self-satisfied.
It was really too great of a feeling.
Those level 1-2 personnel basically lived in the three residential areas and the Green Source Zone, and could only usually fantasize about the wonders inside the walls, and envy those level 3 and above personnel in their minds.
They didn't know who the level 3 personnel were, or who the legendary level 4 personnel were, right?
Today, as soon as the Green Source badge was released.
Sun Youbin's identity couldn't be hidden. (He didn't want to hide it either; he could show off.)
When those personnel saw the four leaves on his shoulder, they naturally knew that he was the one who had already obtained the base's golden rice bowl!
Unlike those core personnel in the main base, he had joined later, and even if he didn't work, he could still have a fixed food subsidy!
There was no longer any worry about starving to death!
Wasn't it worth the envy of the people outside?
Sun Youbin couldn't help but curl up his mouth when he thought of those people's envious gazes.
"Bah! Can't be too complacent; that's what villains on TV are like."
He secretly warned himself not to be too complacent, lest he become complacent and something bad happens.
The current life was hard-earned, and it was already a great blessing that his son could enter the walls with him.
He still remembered the incident of robbing food and killing people that occurred in Residential Area 1 during the heavy snow last year.
Sun Youbin was one of the people who was stabbed at that time!
He would never forget that just because he inadvertently revealed that he had a little bit of food in his hand, he was robbed and stabbed by those people.
Although those people were later caught and executed by the people of Green Source.
He was also very fortunate to slowly recover after being rescued by the base.
His sense of smell only slowly became abnormal after that recovery.
I don't know if it counts as good fortune after surviving a great disaster.
But he wouldn't try again the matter of his son almost becoming an orphan.
Now that his son had joined the sub-base's greenhouse planting team, it was good to be busy in the fields every day.
Just as he was lost in thought waiting for the food to be distributed, a commotion came from outside.
Sun Youbin vaguely heard a few words.
"The base has another big move! Come and see!"
"Green Source is going to build a school!"
What?!
Sun Youbin suddenly stood up!
