#705 - Chapter 705: Come back soon, Lao Xu! Your wife is about to give birth!

In this residential area.

Some discordant voices arose upon seeing the promotion list.

Some began to suspect foul play.

Of course, this was just a minority; those who had just arrived or were of relatively low status didn't dare openly question the base's decisions.

They were merely venting their dissatisfaction at not receiving any benefits.

It was the classic case of 'little fairies' being unhappy because they didn't get what they wanted.

The men in the other small residential areas were relatively calm in accepting the base's new promotion list, only expressing envy towards those lucky promoted individuals.

The ripples quickly subsided, but during evening rest, everyone occasionally discussed the promotions, hoping to be among them in the future.

Time passed.

Several days had passed since Team Leader Li and his group went to Gansu Province, and since Zhong Yu and Chen Junchi completed the task of hunting down the remaining remnants of the punitive expedition.

Li Bowen and the others had not yet returned, presumably still searching for the necessary data and equipment over there.

Zhong Yu and Chen Junchi had also returned to the base headquarters to handle other matters assigned by Qin Jin.

Continuing the orderly development.

It is worth mentioning that:

The first fixed base station produced by the base was finally completed last night!

Then, this morning, Qin Jin couldn't wait to send a helicopter to transport it to the Shanshi coal base for testing!

The Shanshi coal collection point has now been completely recovered by Green Origin and is no longer led by the original coal shelter personnel.

Those people are now just living there, assisting in the collection work assigned by Green Origin personnel.

During his time there, Liu Wenhao not only repaired the walls that had been damaged by the New Hope people but also led a group of engineers to reinforce and heighten the defenses!

The walls of what should now be called the coal base are eighteen meters high and more than two meters wide, providing heavy defenses that are no longer easily breached by zombies or human enemies.

Furthermore, a small anti-aircraft radar was brought there, specifically for scanning and high-frequency pulse interception of drones.

The situation of the coal base being bombed by drones and causing disaster will not happen again.

Try not to fall twice in the same place.

Today.

Inside a room in the main base, a group of base cadres stood nervously waiting.

"What's the situation? Have we connected yet?"

Li Xu asked his technical staff with a slightly anxious tone.

This was the official long-distance usage test of the fixed long-range communication base station.

Although it had passed a simple tens-of-kilometers communication test in Fenghe County, it was the first time that another base station had been placed hundreds of kilometers away in Shanshi like today.

In front of a large piece of equipment, several technical personnel from the research and development department were sweating profusely, debugging various parameters. Some curves on the equipment fluctuated randomly, and without the corresponding knowledge, it was impossible to understand what they represented.

"Captain, it seems that we haven't connected with them yet. We are continuing to work hard!"

Not yet successful.

Very normal.

With the change in distance, many parameters and settings needed to be re-debugged, which required professional personnel to find a solution.

Qin Jin and Li Xu stood beside them, watching the personnel busy without saying a word, quietly waiting for the result.

Fortunately, good news came before long.

"It's connected!! Communication is established!!!"

The technical personnel who were busy cheered. A hoarse electronic sound appeared on the machine in front of them!

It was the call from the fixed base station in Shanshi!

Qin Jin and Li Xu exchanged glances and almost high-fived in celebration!

They knew very well what this meant. From this moment on, the base officially mastered the technology to manufacture long-range communication equipment independently!

No longer would they become headless flies and lose contact with the headquarters when the distance was far, and they could contact the headquarters at any time for support if they encountered any unsolvable situation!

With the four to five hundred kilometers distance from the headquarters to the coal base, as long as multiple fixed base stations were deployed in Guangnan Province to connect the entire area controlled by Green Origin, a new communication network belonging to the post-apocalyptic world could be established!

"Well done! Continue to do more testing, and I will give everyone extra meals as contribution points later!"

Qin Jin said to the research and development department personnel in a great mood.

With these fixed base stations, Green Origin's footsteps can be placed further in the future!

Continuing to stay in this newly established communication room to watch, seeing that there were no major problems, Qin Jin left with satisfaction.

Li Xu would lead his department to improve and handle the remaining work.

As soon as Qin Jin walked out of the communication room, he encountered new things again.

He saw Wang Yang and Zhao Ling, two cadres, walking towards him side by side. They had undisguised joy on their faces, mixed with a hint of seriousness.

"President Qin! We have something to report to you!"

Seeing Qin Jin who had just come out, Wang Yang took the lead and said, and continued after seeing the leader signal them to continue speaking:

"A child is about to be born in our base!!"

What!?

Qin Jin was taken aback.

He knew that some women in his base were pregnant, but someone was about to give birth so soon??

"It's the wife of core member Xu Ziquan who is about to give birth!"

Oh?

Hearing this, Qin Jin quickly remembered someone in his mind.

He vaguely remembered that Xu Ziquan was a member of the combat unit and a core member who had been following the Green Origin base since the beginning of the apocalypse.

If he remembered correctly, he had encountered a charger, this kind of mutated zombie, during the snow disaster last year and almost lost his life.

He is going to be a father!

"Take me to see!"

Without hesitation, Qin Jin decided to go and see this new life that was about to be born in person!

He/she is the first person born in the Green Origin base after the apocalypse!

Main base.

Here at the hospital building.

After receiving the news from Wang Yang and Zhao Ling, Qin Jin quickly came here. After a brief understanding, they were standing outside the room of the pregnant woman who was about to give birth.

"President Qin, Team Leader Xu's wife has already broken her water and started labor. It is expected to take less than two hours to complete the delivery!"

"Although the pregnant woman is relatively old, her current condition is still good. She has no diseases in her body, and the monitoring of the fetus is also no problem. With our base's medical conditions, we can completely handle this level of delivery surgery!"

A doctor in a white coat respectfully introduced the situation to the base's leader.

Qin Jin nodded. Standing outside, they would naturally not go in and disturb the efforts of the parturient out of curiosity.

In addition to the doctors and nurses, Zhao Ling, the cadre of the Department of Life, occasionally entered after sterilization to watch the situation.

"Do your best to let her give birth to this child! This is the first life born in our base!"

Qin Jin instructed these doctors with a slightly serious tone.

The latter naturally nodded in response.

"By the way, where is Xu Ziquan, the person who is about to become a father? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Changing the subject, he mentioned the protagonist who was about to become a father. The person who should have appeared was not present at this time.

"They have already asked someone. He happens to be on patrol around Fenghe County today. We have sent someone to contact him and rush back!"

Wang Yang quickly answered the boss.

"Don't wait! Immediately send a helicopter to pick him up! What time is it! Hurry up!"

Qin Jin was speechless. He didn't expect the father-to-be to not be present.

There was no way to do this. Recently, most of the combat units of the base were on missions and traveling around.

His words were quickly arranged.

The goal is to quickly call Old Xu back!

Your wife is about to give birth!
