Chapter 1380: Chapter 571: The Development of Changhe Base_2

Mutant Wild Geese need no introduction; geese are typically migratory birds that travel long distances every year to overwinter. If they hadn’t mutated, the cold would have killed them a long time ago. Although they are alive now, both their food and living conditions are worrisome. Had they not been caught by Wang Tao, they would likely have tried to venture far, and it would be uncertain whether they would survive.

Now, feeling the temperature of over twenty degrees Celsius, they have only one thought in their little heads—why migrate anymore, this is the perfect home!

Ga—

The leader of the wild geese immediately let out an excited call towards Wang Tao.

It expressed that they would definitely be obedient and do anything they were told, hoping not to be driven away. They wanted to nest here, lay eggs, and reproduce.

As for food, they are essentially herbivorous omnivores, it’s best if there is grass to eat, but it doesn’t matter if there isn’t, they aren’t picky, they’ll eat whatever is available. Right now, their most important task is to reproduce!

Hearing this, Wang Tao’s mouth twitched upwards.

He knew that these mutant wild geese, once they entered Changhe Base, would definitely like the place.

"Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word. As long as you obey, everything will be well arranged for you, wouldn’t you have something to eat?"

Wang Tao said with a smile as he patted the head of the wild geese leader, then directed the Golden Eagle to land on the City Hall square.

When Golden Eagle first came to the base, its returns always attracted a crowd, but over time, the people got used to it, so they weren’t as demanding anymore; if they encountered Golden Eagle, they would stop and watch, otherwise, they let it be.

Today, however, quite a few people gathered at the entrance of City Hall, looking as if they were watching a spectacle. Of course, this time it wasn’t for Golden Eagle, but for the group of mutant wild geese.

Although the mutant wild geese couldn’t compare in size to Golden Eagle, they were still large enough to seat several people, so they weren’t small. Plus, there were many of them—24 in total, even forming a V-shape in the sky... So the people nearby could see everything clearly.

Being eager for excitement is human nature, those who were close hurried over. Some even took out cameras and video cameras to snap away.

Lu Ping and others felt like they were superstars for a moment, but they soon realized that the public’s main interest was in Golden Eagle and the wild geese, they were just incidental.

"Changhe Base is really prosperous, they even have people into photography..."

During Golden Eagle’s slow descent, looking at those with cameras, Lu Ping couldn’t help but marvel.

"Those are reporters."

Wang Tao explained.

"Ah? Reporters?"

Hearing this, Lu Ping and the others were dumbfounded.

What? There are still reporters in the Apocalypse?

Apocalypse? Reporters? Those two terms don’t match at all!

"Changhe Base has three newspapers; they’re one of the sources of leisure and entertainment for the people."

Wang Tao continued explaining.

After the barrier appeared, various factories, companies, and organizations in the base sprouted up like bamboo shoots after rain.

With a population of 500,000, Changhe Base is a society in itself. In a survival environment with no major issues, where there’s no worry about starving to death, all kinds of human needs slowly emerged. Where there’s demand, there’s a market, and City Hall also encourages free trade. So now, Changhe Base is very prosperous, the newspapers are just one part of it.

"..."

Everyone was at a loss for words for a moment.

They from Silver Serpent Base haven’t even fully solved the problem of food and clothing, and people in Changhe Base already have the entertainment industry?

"...Awesome!"

Lu Ping struggled to find words.

"Haha!"

Wang Tao laughed.

Who would have thought, Changhe Base not only has newspapers, but several schools have already been established—and not just Awakeners School, but schools for educating children.

One of the major focuses for the future development of Changhe Base is to increase the birth rate. City Hall provides substantial subsidies and rewards for families having children, and promises to raise newborns until adulthood at no cost!

Although no one can be certain if Changhe Base will last that long, since it’s still very dangerous outside, but one shouldn’t miss the forest for the trees; the base must develop as much as possible. As long as one does their best, the future of Changhe Base is left to fate.

At least, for now, all the residents of the base are very happy, probably the happiest they have been since the Apocalypse began over a year ago.

Whoo—

Golden Eagle flapped its wings and landed outside City Hall.

Wang Tao led the group down, and Gu Yun and others immediately came over. Meanwhile, they had also prepared a lot of mutated pork, which was the hard-earned fee for Golden Eagle.

Chirp~

Golden Eagle happily trotted over, its back bouncing and swaying. Such a day without worrying about food was truly comfortable!

"Gurgle~"

Seeing so much fresh meat, Lu Wang and the others subconsciously swallowed.

At Silver Serpent Base, they either eat tree insects or wild rice, this kind of proper meat was very hard to come by.

While in Changhe Base, it was like an unlimited supply for Golden Eagle! Honestly, he even wanted to turn into a raptor himself!

Ga~

The mutant wild geese landed beside Golden Eagle, their eyes filled with intense longing as they looked at the meat. Although they liked eating grass, since their last hearty meal, it had been a long time since they had eaten, and now they were resorting to consuming the fat reserves in their bodies. Never mind this mutated pork, if truly desperate, they would likely try eating zombies! Although consuming zombies is harmful to their health, accumulating Internal Impurity, and possibly even a direct infection with the Zombie Virus, when they are about to starve to death, they wouldn’t care too
