#553 - Chapter 553 Talent?

It was 5 PM.

At Mentang Town.

The Lvyuan headquarters staff, having finished their day's work, were preparing to get off work and rest.

Returning to their usual state, they could now collect their meals.

Then they could eat in the unified dining hall, or take it back to their dormitories.

Because some people occasionally liked to save unfinished food and eat more when they were particularly hungry.

Worried about spoilage?

That's not a concern.

People in the apocalypse care most about food, and even if there are slight signs of spoilage, they will not hesitate to stuff it into their stomachs.

No waste is allowed.

"Hey, Li! How's the training going with your external cooperation unit lately? Are you still recruiting? I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger recently, and I want to participate in the selection for the external cooperation unit too!"

In one of the branch base dormitories, Xiao Cong excitedly showed Li Shenglin the slight muscle definition he had developed from doing physical labor recently.

Well.

If that even counts as muscle.

Li Shenglin and Lao Liang joined the external cooperation unit, but did not completely move out of their original dormitory.

So they still lived with Xiao Cong and their original male companions.

He looked at Xiao Cong's body, which was indeed noticeably stronger than before, and happily gave him a thumbs up, saying:

"Not bad, work hard, and the heavens will always reward you."

"You used to be a skinny little thing, and now you're a lively young man. If it were peacetime, you could probably attract a lot of trendy girls, haha."

Xiao Cong scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

He wasn't annoyed at being called a "lively young man"; in their hometown of Guanglin Province, it was a joking term.

Moreover, coming from Brother Li, who had pulled him through the apocalypse, he didn't have any temper at all.

"It's better not to come to the external cooperation unit yet. The training intensity is very high now. Even Lao Liang and I are finding it a bit much. If you come, you'll probably be exhausted."

Brother Li dismissed Xiao Cong's idea of joining the external cooperation unit.

Yes.

The training intensity of the branch base's external cooperation combat unit is now stronger than ever!

Qin Jin knew that after the drought ended, there would be another peak of development. These external cooperation team members would be his capable generals in expanding his territory in the future, so he naturally needed to train them to death during this time when they couldn't go out!

Such a good opportunity must be seized to train them hard, and when they get busy in the future, these people will have to be directly put into various places where people are needed.

Not only the headquarters, but also the growing Lvyuan Zone, including Fenghe County and Longmen County outside the Lvyuan Zone, he needed to take down the entire Guangyuan City!

Then there were the more distant Shenzhen and Guangzhou, as well as Zhushi and Shanshi, which served as resource points, and they all needed to start increasing their forces!

Great development was just around the corner, so the original members of the external cooperation unit could no longer slack off.

Those without ability would be kicked out of the ranks of the external cooperation unit, allowing more capable people to come up.

So he wasn't scaring Xiao Cong; the training intensity had indeed been very high recently.

With Xiao Cong's physique, which lacked a solid foundation, he would probably collapse after two days of training.

"Okay, then I'll continue to work hard for a while and try to improve my physical fitness."

Xiao Cong didn't insist either; anyway, living in Lvyuan, the future was bright.

"Speaking of which, Brother Li, your and Brother Liang's points are almost enough to be promoted to level 4 personnel, right!? Any news?"

"You must tell me in advance when you get promoted! I want to show off to a few of my coworkers! I'm going to tell them I have two level 4 brothers! Make them jealous to death!"

"......"

Li Shenglin rolled his eyes helplessly at Xiao Cong; this guy was always thinking about showing off.

The dormitory always maintained a cheerful atmosphere.

The people here could be said to be among the earliest survivors to arrive at the Lvyuan base this year.

They were proving themselves in their own way and integrating into the place.

Like a small microcosm.

Different things were happening in other dormitories at this moment.

Everyone held the food they had earned from a day of hard work and chatted relaxedly, sharing the interesting things they had heard and seen today.

Without electronic entertainment, humans had returned to this most primitive form of communication and entertainment.

Main base.

Leader's office.

Qin Jin had also finished his studies for the day.

Recently, the base had stabilized, and he could spare more time to study, read, and do research.

Lao Zhou's progress was getting smoother and smoother, and there might be major results at any time. At that time, his evolution would be restarted again, and he estimated that he would need to conduct some tests and verifications in private.

At least, he couldn't inject foreign things into himself before he had figured out the situation.

Even if he trusted Lao Zhou.

But the preparations that should be made still had to be made.

"Di Di Di—"

At this moment, the walkie-talkie he had placed on the table suddenly rang. This walkie-talkie was specially used for communication between base cadres.

He stopped reading and directly connected the walkie-talkie.

"Boss, I have something I want to tell you."

"Didn't a survivor from the apocalypse survival group come over last time and we settled him in the small residential area? I took some time to meet him today and found that this person has something special!"

"I want to transfer him to the branch base to cooperate with my development department in some research!"

Oh?

Qin Jin couldn't help but become curious when he heard the information that Li Xu said on the walkie-talkie.

He naturally remembered this survivor from the apocalypse survival group who had just found the base when the drought was about to reach its climax.

It's just that he didn't pay too much attention at the time, so he directly threw this person into the small residential area and didn't pay attention to him anymore.

After all, from his point of view, there was really no need to specially meet an unknown person, even if everyone had had those slight relationships in a chat group.

"Reason."

He gently uttered two words, wanting to know the reason for Li Xu's request.

This was also what he was curious about.

You must know that Li Xu's current status in the base is really not low. He controls countless base weapons and secrets, and his vision is already countless levels higher than before.

Without a certain ability or special place, Qin Jin believed that Li Xu would not casually ask him for someone.

"This group friend is a bit interesting!"

"I went to talk to him for a while today and learned that he actually drove all the way from a city in the north by himself. Later, we talked about some professional and survival issues and found that he had actually worked in a secret company!"

"It's the kind of place that specializes in designing things for the Chinese military! Not for public sale, specializing in military products!"

"He said he can build many more powerful devices for us!"

!!

Qin Jin's eyes widened when he heard this!

There is such a talent actively running to their base!?

Great thing!
