I haven’t finished fighting the battle in Volume 3! Chapter 63: Rebellion
A week later, Shen Jin put down the last piece of [Compressed Cobblestone] and finally completed the wall of Home No. 1.
Now, the area around the railway station is a total of 130 square kilometers, or 195,000 acres, all of which are included in Shen Jin's No. 1 home base. The outer wall is 30 meters high and 3 meters thick. The outer layer is [compressed pebbles], and the inner two layers are ordinary [pebbles]. The strength of such a wall is already very high. Even if the L1 zombies attack frantically, it will take several hours to make a hole. This 130 square kilometers of land is already a safe zone. "Finally it's done! It's too boring. If you want to expand the circle in the future, won't it take a month to build it?"
Shen Jin shook his head and stopped thinking about the future. This 130 square kilometers of territory was actually enough for them to develop for a long time. Increasing the area would not necessarily be better, because that would mean facing more and more frequent zombie attacks every day, and more positions that needed to be defended, as well as more patrol members on the city walls. If there were no corresponding number of extraordinary teams, they would not be able to defend such a large territory at all. For this 130 square kilometers of territory, the southern part near the sea did not need to be defended, and the northern part near the mountains had a very low zombie density, so there was basically no problem. The main defense pressure was the large urban area in the west and the Haishanguan area in the east. Both sides were densely populated areas. Even though most of the zombies in the city had been taken away by the zombie tide, the zombie density was still greater than that in the suburbs. The east and west city wall defense lines were basically about 10 kilometers.
Shen Jin only set up one gate on the east and west walls for people to enter and exit the base. At the same time, he set up a duty room at each gate for the stationed personnel to rest and store [Stone Swords], as well as to store daily necessities paid by scavengers who went out.
Shen Jin built a shelter for all the people in Home No. 1 and provided a safe living environment, so naturally he had to collect taxes. This was understandable and beneficial to the sustainable development of the base.
Apart from anything else, every survivor who goes out to scavenge can get a fairly sharp [stone sword], so Shen Jin is already a generous lord.
Shen Jin learned this from Tianluodiwang. In order to fight against zombies, humans must have weapons. Local governments with production capabilities have fully armed their troops and started distributing the produced weapons to civilian forces, allowing many compatriots to take up arms to eliminate the zombies.
The two duty rooms are now occupied, with five extraordinary people in each room, who are mainly responsible for responding to some emergencies and conducting regular patrols of the 10-kilometer city wall.
"Boss, we are the staff on duty today, reporting to you!"
Shen Jin came to the west gate duty room. The five men here looked at Shen Jin with fanaticism and admiration. The 65 extraordinary people led by Yang Ao were given extraordinary powers after being rescued by Shen Jin from the brink of death. Their loyalty was terrifyingly high!
Although Yang Ao has no rules for leading his troops, the extraordinary people he leads will definitely become more and more loyal to Shen Jin, and the spirit of holding on to Shen Jin's thighs and not letting go has been implemented in this team.
"This is a [Compressed Level 2 Large Sausage]. After use, it can burst out Level 2 supernatural power for more than 10 minutes. It can be stored in the outside world for 1 month. It is placed in the secret compartment of the duty room. If you encounter an emergency, take it in time to deal with the danger! After the duty is over, pass it to the next team on duty. It must not be leaked to the outside! Do you understand?"
The five people replied in unison: "Understood!"
Shen Jin took out a [Compressed Level 2 Large Sausage] with a 10-minute dosage and asked the person on duty to put it into a small secret compartment on the wall of the room, which was a place he designed to store important things. It could be opened by a hidden [button] on the wall.
"Stay on duty!"
Shen Jinfei went to the East Gate Duty Room, also put down a [Compressed Level 2 Large Sausage], and gave instructions again.
…
In the large square in front of the villa, 60 strange-shaped superpowers stood in a square formation, waiting for Shen Jin's arrival. The atmosphere on the scene was a bit depressing. Most of the strange-shaped superpowers had some problems with their bodies. Their superpowers were abnormally active, and their bodies had a strong impulse to decompose into many tentacles. They relied entirely on the willpower of the crowd to suppress this impulse. In this state, their combat effectiveness plummeted. The strange-shaped superpowers who had doubts about whether Shen Jin's medicine was toxic now completely believed it. If Shen Jin did not give them the antidote to suppress this impulse of superpower runaway, they would really lose control of their superpowers and bodies, and thus fall apart...
Among the many weird and strange extraordinary people, there was only one person who did not have this feeling, Fan Jia.
Fan Jia and more than 10 people in the team of strange-shaped extraordinary people looked at each other and smiled.
Li Zhe was also among them. He thought of what everyone had been planning for many days. The success or failure would all depend on today!
Li Zhe's eyes were full of desire for power and authority. As long as today's task was accomplished, he would be able to stand at a new height, a deputy captain?
Ha~! Not even worthy of him, Li Zhe.
"Xing Lingmin... I wonder if you can still be coquettish after today?"
Fan Jia looked at Li Zhe with great satisfaction, as he was the person he admired the most. Li Zhe joined the team with hatred for the woman taken away by Shen Jin, and his desire for power and strength far exceeded that of others. It was easier to use such a person. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and looked at a person flying in the sky. This person... gave him the opportunity to become a superpower again, but deprived him of his freedom and suppressed his desires. Before the end of the world, Fan Jia was a top killer in an international killer organization, good at disguise and assassination. On the surface, he looked gentle and harmless, but... he was not a good person, and he was not willing to be inferior to others. Especially this feeling of being controlled by others in life and death made the violence in his heart soar. The last person who dared to threaten his life had been fed to the zombies bit by bit by him.
“Huff, huff, huff—”
Shen Jin descended from the sky, and the people below were cheered up. Their health was too bad now and they needed an antidote!
Shen Jin stood there looking at everyone. He was well aware of the situation. This was also what he hoped to see. It was not that he was reluctant to use up the [Primary Superpower Awakening Potion]. He wished he could use more, but... he did not want the power he had stimulated to become an unstable factor that restricted his own development. If the number of extraordinary people in Home No. 1 doubled, but they were divided into many factions, and someone organized the extraordinary people out of their control, they would be caught up in factional struggles.
The advancement efficiency of this month is even worse than that of these troops and men now. Guns can only be effective when they are in one's own hands. A gun that loses control will only accidentally go off and harm oneself.
Shen Jin and Shang Qian have always adopted a conservative strategy regarding the number of extraordinary people they want to develop.
Today, several extraordinary captains are not here. All the strange-shaped and supernatural beings know that several captains have been arranged by Shang Qian to open factories recently. Shang Qian is also busy with internal affairs and has no time to participate in such matters.
Therefore, the only assistant beside Shen Jin was Yang Ao. Fan Jia also noticed this phenomenon. The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised up, but... he did not make any movement.
He was waiting, waiting for an opportunity for Shen Jin to relax.
Yang Ao brought up an empty basket. Shen Jin directly exchanged 60 bottles of [Energy Serum], and bottles of milky white reagents appeared in the basket.
Shen Jin licked his lips unconsciously. This potion tasted really good, just like yogurt.
The many strange-shaped and supernatural beings below looked at the potions in the basket and couldn't help but want to drink them. This was a desire from their bodies' strange powers. They felt that the milky white potion on top... must be the antidote!
Shen Jin cleared his throat and said loudly: "Today is the 30th day since you became extraordinary people. You should be able to feel the changes in your body and know that what I said before was not a lie. The potion you take will give you more powerful superpowers, but you need to take this [Energy Serum] every month to suppress the backlash of superpowers!"
The people below nodded in agreement. As extraordinary beings, their senses were enhanced and their bodies... would not deceive them.
Just like when you are thirsty you want to drink water, when you are hungry you want to eat, when you are tired you want to rush, when you are addicted you want to get enough...
Fan Jia could still suppress the restless power in his body, but... he knew that he also had to take the above things, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.
"Actually... I don't really like this kind of thing, because having this step every month will create a gap between us. Many people think they are being controlled by me. You don't have to shake your heads. I know there will be such thoughts. It's normal!"
"However, I hope that everyone present here today knows one thing. You are no different from the extraordinary people who joined me earlier. The treatment you receive is no worse than theirs. Since the side effects of the drug are unavoidable, everyone needs to adapt to the current life and enjoy the food, shelter, electricity... the orderly civilization that Home No. 1 has given you! And while enjoying all this, everyone must also contribute their own strength to kill the zombies outside. This is not my business, this is... the business of all mankind. Regardless of whether there is Home No. 1, all extraordinary people have the obligation to step onto the front line of fighting the zombies, because..."
Shen Jin raised his left hand, the Rolex on it sparkling, "With great power comes great responsibility!"
This is what Zhu Dan believed in and what he proved with his life. Although Shen Jin did not approve of his reckless behavior, it did not prevent Shen Jin from admiring a chivalrous man like Zhu Dan.
When the Rolex came into Shen Jin's hands, a subtle change occurred in his heart...
Reshaping the worldview is a bit exaggerated. Shen Jin is also a mentally strong adult who will not change his beliefs at will. He is still the Shen Jin who has managed to survive in troubled times, but now he is no longer just taking care of himself, but has one more thing... If he succeeds, he will help the world!
Since the system's goal is to make him a savior, Shen Jin, as a member of the human camp, is willing to take on this task and use his abilities to do more.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
The 60 extraordinary people below chewed on these words. Some of them had heard them before, but many had not. But at this moment, it sounded... different, as if... each of them was the protagonist of this world.
Their current first-level extraordinary abilities are not necessarily much worse than Spider-Man in the movies. They have the power to protect ordinary people and the power to defeat zombies.
Fan Jia had a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed disdain. People only live for themselves!
What Shen Jin said was so fake that it made him sick.
But he found that his brothers were actually listening to Shen Jin very seriously. He glanced at Li Zhe, who was as disdainful as he was.
Fan Jia felt that Li Zhe was the same type of person as him, they... both valued their own interests.
Shen Jin continued, "Now that we have talked about the big things, let's talk about our own things. Everyone has worked hard to kill zombies this month. Now the base expansion of Home No. 1 has been successfully stabilized. This is all due to everyone's efforts. So after everyone finishes drinking the [Energy Serum], I have someone prepare a buffet with meat, vegetables and wine. Today, everyone can rest and have a party to celebrate our victory this month! In the future, I hope that everyone will continue to work hand in hand with Home No. 1 to create a better life. Now come up one by one!"
"Wuhu~!"
“Yeah!”
"Boss is awesome!" (broken voice)
Hearing that they could have a buffet, everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts. Moreover, Shen Jin's conversation today was very sincere, which made most of those who had some complaints in their hearts feel comfortable. No matter whether there was control or not, as long as they followed Shen Jin and had meat to eat and a future, and they lived no worse than anyone else, that was enough.
Most of them have a scale in their hearts. Without Shen Jin, they are nothing . Many people want to have the opportunity to be controlled but cannot get it!
But human hearts are the most complicated, and desires are hard to satisfy. Fan Jia didn't listen to a word Shen Jin said. There was only greed in his eyes. Everyone lined up to get the potion. After drinking it, their body's supernatural powers were indeed controlled, and their physical fitness was slightly enhanced.
After Shen Jin and Yang Ao finished serving the food, they let everyone eat as much as they wanted on the first floor and then went upstairs.
Fan Jia glanced at the two people who were walking up to the second floor with their arms around each other. He took the opportunity to gather his people together during the meal, but he found that two of his people did not come over. He did not know whether they were immersed in the buffet or confused by Shen Jin's "nonsense". Fan Jia snorted coldly: "We will deal with those two pieces of trash later. Now everyone... follow me to the second floor!"
"Walk!"
Li Zhe and 13 other people with strange shapes and abilities followed him up the stairs to the second floor. The others were enjoying the food and didn't notice that there were many traitors among them...
When they reached the second floor, Li Zhe pointed to a half-closed door and said, "This is Shen Jin's room!"
Fan Jia looked through the crack in the door and saw Shen Jin sitting in front of the computer...
"Follow me and subdue him with one strike. Don't give him a chance to eat the supernatural food. He's useless without food!"
"Okay!" Everyone's faces turned red and their adrenaline surged.
Fan Jia used his supernatural powers, his momentum rose steadily, and more than ten thick tentacles extended from his body. He was much stronger than ordinary strange-looking supernatural beings. He was actually a second-level extraordinary person!
“Bang!”
Fan Jia stepped on a crack and rushed in like a gust of wind, with several tentacles aiming at Shen Jin's neck and limbs.
He wanted to destroy Shen Jin's ability to move, and then interrogate him to find out where his resources were hidden. Shen Jin inside realized it belatedly and turned his head away...
