Chapter 1579 - 893:
Although it is cruel, isn’t that the way it is in Doomsday?
Survival of the fittest.
Those without ability and diligence can only wait for death.
After all, the Big Camphor Tree Base is not Fushan Hall.
......
An hour and a half later.
Lao Yi piloted the helicopter to hover above the Weng City of Big Camphor Tree Base.
Preparing to land.
He had already notified the personnel at Big Camphor Tree Base in advance.
Informing them that there were strangers on the plane.
If they landed without notification and prior registration, the high altitude guns and machine guns on the wall aren’t just for show in uncertain situations.
From the helicopter, Lao Yi could see over a hundred people standing sparsely outside the walls, lining up with cooperative personnel lists and manuals.
This was an old practice, every cooperative personnel needed to register before cooperation, documenting professional abilities and age, etc.
Elder Zhang and those high-achievers were all leaning against the helicopter window looking down.
Since they were on the helicopter, they could overlook the ground situation.
The view was quite expansive.
They were somewhat of an exception, currently just cooperative personnel, yet able to come to Big Camphor Tree Base by helicopter.
Through the helicopter window, they saw the following scene below:
First was a tall, winding wall, with two layers and the outer one being lower than the inner one.
The Inner City was large, with even two mountains inside.
Between the two mountains, there was a reservoir, but it was not full, only reaching one-third of the water level line.
On the wall, there stood several constructions built on it.
And on the outer wall, there was a tall Observation Tower, with a person on it gesturing downwards at the helicopter.
Outside the walls, vehicles entered and exited continuously.
These vehicles seemed to be loaded with cement and some other supplies.
On the wall, there were almost fully armed personnel patrolling back and forth every certain distance, holding guns.
As the helicopter landed, they got closer to the ground, seeing more clearly.
Elder Zhang saw that a large area of the base was covered with greenhouses, feeling a subtle excitement inside.
Such tall walls and greenhouses created perfect conditions for growing food, and he also noticed there seemed to be a reservoir inside.
Secure land and stable water sources provided excellent conditions for growing food.
Next to him, those high-achievers also widened their eyes, looking below.
On the way here, they had imagined countless scenarios of the Big Camphor Tree Base in their minds.
But seeing it with their own eyes now, the scene was even better than they had imagined.
Excited at heart, this place indeed looked very safe!
Lao Yi glanced at their excited expressions through the rear-view mirror, without dampening their spirits.
Perhaps they forgot they were not official members of the Big Camphor Tree Base yet, just cooperative personnel for now.
However, you never know, if they contributed greatly, special exceptions might be made.
For instance, that Kong Shuang and Old Dong, came in by true skills.
Quickly, the helicopter descended into Weng City.
After the helicopter docked.
Old Bi, along with Li Hang and the others, came over for a routine inspection, holding guns, watching the people inside cautiously.
Lao Yi waved his hand, signaling Xiao Zhu to lead the people in the back off the helicopter.
Xiao Zhu opened the cabin door, speaking to the people inside: "Elder Zhang, all of you come down, we’ve arrived."
Elder Zhang swallowed his saliva, unbuckled his seatbelt, and then carrying his little black bag, led the students down.
Seeing them come down, only then did Lao Yi disembark from the helicopter.
"These are the people Director Li asked me to bring back, where is Mr. Li, Director Li said, after sending them, Mr. Li will handle them."
Li Hang spoke, "He’s in the First outer city, coming over right away. No problem, leave them to me, I heard you’re tight on time, and you have to return there today, right?"
Lao Yi nodded, "Yes."
Then, Ahong and a few others came over to help unload items from the helicopter.
While instructing Lao Yi: "These are the items Director Li prepared for you, just take them back."
Lao Yi looked at those items on the ground, nodding, "Thanks."
These items included aviation kerosene, fresh fruits, and some scarce supplies.
.....
On the other side, He Chao said to Elder Zhang:
"You’re Elder Zhang, right, here’s the thing, upon arrival, a routine inspection is required, rest assured your items will be returned to you afterward."
"After you complete the inspection, there will be a routine registration form, you need to fill it out. After filling in, I’ll give you a Big Camphor Tree Base handbook, which will help you understand our place better.
...."
"Once all these are done, you will meet with our base’s Mr. Li for an interview."
Elder Zhang looked at the smiling He Chao, feeling the process was quite complex.
But the complexity didn’t make him impatient; instead, it inexplicably felt formal.
It somewhat resembled pre-Doomsday, going for interviews at some companies.
In larger companies, there was filling out basic information, a written test, a first-round assessment, second-round, and even some details reflecting certain aspects.
But in smaller companies, you might directly talk to the boss, and not know the outcome after the conversation.
He wasn’t averse, on the contrary, he found it good.
