Chapter 31: Life in Base A1

At noon,

The dining halls on floors 11 to 30 of the base are filled with various aromas.

Countless men and women, young and old, sit together happily and feast on each other.

The simple dishes on weekdays are so precious in the apocalypse, and every bite of food makes everyone almost want to cry. This is also the happiest moment of everyone's day.

"Yes! It's so fragrant, this stewed fish is full of a fragrant aroma, and it only costs 20 points per piece! It's so great!"

"Woooooo, I didn't expect to be able to eat enough in a time like this, thank God!"

"Why are you thanking God so much? Can God take care of us here? You have to thank the base and Jiro-san!"

"Yes, without Jiro-san, how could we live such a good life?"

Everyone talked about it, and everyone was filled with emotion.

At this point, Jiro's name was already known to everyone, and everyone knew that there was only one owner of the base, and that was the man who was too young.

Since they don't know how to call Jiro, out of respect for him, everyone, men, women, and children, secretly and politely addressed him as Mr. Jiro.

Amid discussions!

Jiro visited the cafeteria with a group of soldiers with real ammunition.

And his arrival, naturally, caused a sensation in the crowd.

"Who is this? Why are you taking so many soldiers?"

"Stupid, he is the owner of the shelter, Jiro-san!"

"He is Jiro? So young?"

"As expected, it is better to be famous than to know, so handsome! I don't know if he is married. Whether you want to find a wife or not, it doesn't matter if you have a wife, I can be your lover."

"What are you saying!"

In the crowd, there were bursts of lively discussions.

Many people are seeing Jiro for the first time.

Seeing that he is so young and already in control of this base, no one can help but secretly marvel.

Many young women looked at him with a hint of admiration and insinuations.

"Mr. Jiro!"

"Hello, Mr. Jiro!"

Wherever Jiro went, everyone stood up to greet him.

No matter what the status and status of everyone in the past, in front of this young man now, everyone can only feel amazement and gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, because he is the food and clothing of all parents.

"Sit down, everyone, don't be so polite!"

"How is it? Is it okay to live here? Do you have any opinions on our base? If you have any opinions, you can say them, so that we can actively correct them."

Jiro smiled.

But how dare the present residents really give him advice?

They all hastily waved their hands to pass the ball.

"No, no, we are having a great time!"

"Yes, if it weren't for being able to live here, we would have already died outside!" added.

"Now there is something to eat and drink, and everyone is very satisfied!"

"If it weren't for this base, how could we live so well, Mr. Jiro, you are our great benefactor?" expressed the others while congratulating.

Half of what was said was a lie, the other half was true.

"Everyone is satisfied. Many of you are older than me, so I won't say any more nonsense. In one word, no matter what state you were in in the past, you will be part of the base in the future," Jiro assured.

"The zombie crisis is a disaster for all of us. Since we live here, we are a family. The days of solidarity in the future will definitely be better!" Jiro affirmed.

"If you have any difficulties or needs, you can raise them so that our base can improve more and more." Jiro said while smiling and reassuring everyone present, who were moved with a burst of sighs.

Although many people can see that he is buying people's hearts, the effect is very good. At least, the restless hearts of the newly incorporated residents have been calmed down.

"Suzaku, let me know, let's add vegetables today!" Jiro ordered.

"Each person adds a piece of stewed pork and a piece of chicken wings," he added.

"I'll have lunch here too, make arrangements," Undic said.

Jiro continued to buy people's hearts, making everyone cheer with a single order. After a while, Jiro's lunch was delivered, which was simple but delicious: a piece of stewed pork, two grilled chicken wings, a piece of soybean sprouts, and a piece of pork trotter soup.

While eating, Jiro had a conversation with everyone, and everyone's amazement at him gradually turned into kindness. At this point, everyone stopped talking and, as Jiro ate and chatted, said some things they didn't dare say.

"Mr. Jiro, it's true that we live in the base, eat well, and live well, but there are very few ways to earn points. If we eat like this, the points will disappear soon!" one of them said.

"Yes, it's not good to sit and eat mountains every day. We also want to contribute to the base, but us girls don't have the guts to hunt zombies," another said.

"We dare to hunt and kill zombies, but we don't have weapons. We can join the scavenger group, but we don't know what's going on outside, so we don't dare to go out casually!" another said.

"Yes, didn't you say you wanted to recruit mercenaries? I'm a veteran and pretty good at it!" another affirmed.

Jiro nodded slightly after listening. These situations really need to be addressed, otherwise, with so many survivors, daily food consumption is calculated in tens of tons. It's a shame not to mobilize their emotions and make good use of their workforce. There are still too few jobs in the base. In the future, the entire base will house 100,000 people. Excluding some children, it is impossible to place the tens of thousands of remaining people in the cafeteria and the cleaning department.

"Don't worry, everyone!" Jiro assured after thinking for a moment. "The recruitment of mercenaries will begin tomorrow, and we will recruit 10,000 people one after another for training, distributing weapons, and providing various high salary incentives. Of course, we will also open a large number of factories in the main residential areas. In addition, hospitals and schools also need a lot of manpower. We will provide more jobs for everyone so that they can support themselves! If they cannot find a job, they can directly join the scavenger group or buy weapons in the base to go out and hunt zombies and search for supplies. In summary, not everyone will starve to death, and the quality of life will not decline!" Jiro concluded.

Jiro's words immediately made everyone blush.
