Apocalypse King System
Chapter 210 210: Apocalypse Base in Magic City

Seeing Derick's actions, Lin Mo'er blushed, but she also knew that now was not the time for politeness. So, she opened the bread and handed it to her sister.

"Xin, you eat..."

Looking at the food handed over by her sister, Lin Kexin shook her head, "No... Sister, you haven't eaten anything for the past two days. You should eat first!"

"Alright, alright, you two little girls stop refusing each other. There's still plenty of food here, enough for both of you to eat." Derick, seeing that the sisters were reluctant to eat first, took out another large pile of food from his pocket.

Now both Lin Mo'er and Lin Kexin were puzzled. Derick's pocket wasn't that big, how could it hold so much?

"What are you staring at? Don't look at me, just eat..." Derick pointed to the table with a bunch of canned goods, bread, and drinks.

"Thank you, Derick..." Lin Kexin smiled sweetly at Derick, and she started eating first. Lin Mo'er followed suit. The two sisters were too hungry to care much.

The way the two sisters ate was a bit anxious, Lin Mo'er was more composed, but Lin Kexin almost devoured her food. Her little face swelled up, making her look like two stuffed buns.

"Take it slow, take it slow, don't choke..." Derick handed the little girl a bottle of water and advised her to slow down.

Watching them eat, Lin Mo'er couldn't help but shed tears. Since the apocalypse, except for the first few days, they had almost never eaten enough. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so thin and bony, with visible bones.

Even though she had tried her best to give most of the food to her sister, the little girl still showed signs of malnutrition, pale and weak. During the growing period, not being able to eat enough added tremendous pressure, almost pushing the young girl to the brink of collapse.

"Um..." Lin Kexin made an effort to swallow the food in her mouth, seeing Lin Mo'er in tears. She extended her little hand, gently wiping the tears from her sister's eyes.

"Sister, don't cry. We are fine now. We have Derick bringing us so much food," the little girl consoled her sister sensibly.

"It's okay; I'm just happy," Lin Mo'er slowly wiped away her tears.

Derick silently observed the scene, feeling a sense of sorrow. This scene was probably one of the most common in this post-apocalyptic world. Lin Mo'er and her sister were fortunate to encounter him, but many others might be suffering even more.

In the end, the two sisters consumed half of the food on the table, their stomachs bulging. Satisfied, they stopped eating.

"How about it? Are you full?" Derick asked with a smile, looking at the two sisters lying on the sofa.

"Yes, we're full. Thank you, Derick," the little girl, with a round and satisfied belly, pulled Derick's hand, expressing her gratitude.

...

Leaving the two sisters to rest at home, Derick ventured out, wandering through the base and observing the overall situation. Order's base had cleared out more than half of the Grey Bear City. Survivors continued to join, bringing Order's population to over ten thousand, expanding further.

If all went well, Order's influence would soon encompass the entire Grey Bear City. Derick needed to consider the next steps. The nearest location to Grey Bear City was the Magic City, densely populated and rich in resources.

Derick's plan was to establish an Order sub-base in the Magic City, with Grey Bear City as the main base and this one as the secondary base, with more to come in the future.

This time, Derick didn't intend to use the same brutal approach as before—sending himself or female warriors to kill all the men and bring the women back to the base. Instead, he planned to employ a different method.

For instance, enslavement. He would send female warriors to suppress the area, turning the men into slaves to perform laborious tasks like farming and building walls. The previous brutal method of killing everyone seemed somewhat wasteful now.

Considering the continuous growth of Order, there were often situations where manpower was insufficient. Therefore, enslaving these men to do some hard work became necessary.

Derick wasn't afraid of rebellion from these men. Many of the female warriors and servants were particularly disdainful and repulsive towards men, making it essential to employ them in such roles.

The role of these sub-zone bases was significant. They not only gathered nearby survivors, ensuring safety, but the women who performed well in the sub-bases would also be granted the qualification to enter the main base. This opportunity would not be extended to men; their remaining value was to be exploited to death in the complicated labor of the base.

Under Derick's command, these men wouldn't be allowed to come into contact with any ordinary women. When necessary, all men would undergo physical castration to ensure they wouldn't entertain any inappropriate thoughts. Meanwhile, female warriors who harbored a deep hatred for men would oversee their labor, ensuring the women's safety.

Derick's possessiveness was quite perverse. Even if he didn't touch or find the women in his base appealing, he absolutely wouldn't assign them to the men to disgust others. These men only had a tiny bit of value when engaged in the lowest-level labor.

After wandering around and offering some food, Derick finally learned the situation of the entire base. The population was approximately around five thousand people, and the entire base was constructed within an upscale residential area.

There are three walls surrounding the base, blocking all routes into the base and leaving only three underground passages for entry and exit.

Responsible for managing and controlling the base is an artillery battalion from the Magic City Military Region, along with several surviving officials from the Magic City. The two sides collaborated to build this base.

"At present, Major Ma is in charge of the entire base, and he has the greatest authority. The others, like Director Liu, Captain Fang, and Lieutenant Qin, were selected by Major Ma to manage the base and can be considered his subordinates."

After receiving Derick's items, a woman dressed provocatively with heavy makeup shared this information.

"Friend, don't be deceived by the appearance of this base; it's actually not bad. After all, Major Ma has a military background, and the management under his command is relatively strict. I've heard that there aren't many major vices. In other bases, the situation is chaotic, and there have even been cases of cannibalism."

"Alright, I got it..." Derick waved his hand, signaling that she could leave.

"Sigh, handsome, won't you come in for a while? I can lower the price for you, how about a piece of bread..." The woman seemed a bit unwilling and attempted to seduce Derick.

"Get lost, not interested..." Derick had no interest in such dirty women. If he wanted to have some fun, there were countless virgins in Order begging for him, so why bother with this place.

The woman's face stiffened, and she awkwardly swayed her hips as she left the place, muttering to herself, "Really, not willing to play even at such a low price. In times like these, still so picky..."

"A battalion's firepower should not be too difficult to handle. I estimate it can be resolved in about half an hour of combat..." Derick thought, considering the information he gathered from that prostitute.

As for the woman's claim that this base's development was considered good, Derick dismissed it. In terms of security, the single wall within Order's inner city could provide more defense than the poorly constructed three walls of this base combined. Regarding the quality of life, even the lowest-ranking female slaves in Order could guarantee three meals a day, while this base distributed food only three times a week. Derick considered this far from a good standard of living, especially when compared to the relative comfort within Order.

Derick's current concern was how to quickly conquer and occupy this base to avoid triggering greater chaos. After all, his goal was to take control, not to destroy. Achieving this would undoubtedly require a swift and decisive approach.

Unlike Grey Bear City, the number of zombies here in Magic City was estimated to be in the tens of millions. Grey Bear City had a total population of just over three million, and most of its zombies had been cleared by Order. Additionally, many remaining zombies were attracted away by the Grey Bear Military District. Therefore, the number of zombies in the urban area was not too overwhelming.
