Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 719 - 385 Hope Base

Fang Yuxin and her group were busy renovating the house when Bai Zhengli and others were also tirelessly occupied. Chengtian Base was not small, with a total population of about five hundred thousand. Ji Chengtian’s Chengtian Mercenary Corps had over thirty thousand superpower users, many of whom held positions within the base’s management. To replace everyone and have new people take charge, as well as to complete the handover of work, was a considerably troublesome task. It was simply not possible to take over completely in such a short period.

The entire base had been busy for several days and was gradually stabilizing, returning to the right track. During these days, there were always Zombie Groups attacking, but they were all completely annihilated by Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang leading their people. Although the other forces in Chengtian Base had recognized the situation and knew they had no further opportunities, they couldn’t help feeling resentful and were waiting to see a debacle. Unexpectedly, within a mere five days, Bai Zhengli took full control of the base and even uncovered some of the base’s previous issues, establishing new rules.

At the same time, the base hospital that Bai Zhengli had promised Deng Hong and others was set up, especially releasing the Wood Element Superpower Users who had been captured from the nearby small bases.

Near Chengtian Base, apart from Peace Base, there were five other small bases, all controlled by Ji Chengtian or other forces, enslaving the base inhabitants, causing them unspeakable suffering.

Bai Zhengli specifically summoned the leaders of some more established forces within Chengtian Base and held a meeting to discuss the new rules and how to deal with the nearby small bases. He managed to coax these leaders, who each had their own agendas, to accept the new rules by a combination of threats and incentives. He also recalled all the people who had been dispatched for garrison duty.

Actually, these small bases didn’t have many powerful superpower users, which was why they had been controlled by Chengtian Base in the first place. Originally, it was a good thing for Chengtian Base to dispatch people to garrison these small bases to ensure their safety. However, Ji Chengtian’s excessive exploitation led to widespread resentment, causing the people of these small bases to harbor great prejudice against Chengtian Base.

Under such prejudice, even if Bai Zhengli replaced the garrison troops and no longer enslaved them, winning the goodwill of these people wouldn’t be easy. After sending people to inquire, these small bases also expressed their refusal to accept protection from Chengtian Base. Therefore, Bai Zhengli, adopting a strategy of advancing by retreating, simply called everyone back to focus on consolidating Chengtian Base.

However, Peace Base was different. Wu Ke had fortunately gotten acquainted with Bai Zhengli and others from the start. Plus, the Hope Battle Group had been staying in Peace Base before coming to Chengtian Base, so the relationship between the two had always been good. Wu Ke trusted Bai Zhengli’s character and straightforwardly, on behalf of Peace Base, requested protection from Chengtian Base.

After the initial days of chaos, the entire base was completely transformed and even the name of the base was changed to "Hope Base," signifying a place full of hope, encouraging everyone not to give up hope easily.

At the same time, Bai Zhengli carried out extensive reforms.

In the original Chengtian Base, Ordinary People made up a large number but were much lower in status than superpower users, living quite a miserable life. Unlike the smaller Peace Base, where the people were relatively more united and basically everyone could eat their fill.

When Bai Zhengli took over Chengtian Base, the situation in the base was quite bad. The gap between Ordinary People and superpower users was growing larger, with obvious polarization. High-level superpower users could indulgently enjoy delicacies, while the Ordinary People at the bottom could not even afford rice, forced to consume thin porridge.

After taking over the base, Bai Zhengli implemented reforms to improve the living conditions of Ordinary People. He also expanded farms and factories, hiring a large number of Ordinary People as workers.

Given the limited conditions, especially regarding energy for cooking, many people found it extremely difficult, so it was best to produce ready-to-eat, filling, and nutritious food to reduce everyone’s burden.

Fang Yuxin was part of the logistics team. She and Qu Qianhe checked the base’s warehouse and Ji Chengtian’s private storeroom, finding a large number of materials. However, to expand the factories, the current equipment was not enough, and they needed to find other solutions.
