Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 720 - 385 Hope Base_2

They were worrying about the equipment issue when Qian Sen approached, shaking his head and sighing, "This Base’s research institute is really too rudimentary. So many pieces of equipment are missing; no wonder the people inside haven’t researched anything. Xinxin, do you think you can figure something out? We need to acquire some research equipment quickly. If this continues, we won’t be able to do anything."

Li Qingyun followed behind him, shaking his head as well.

Indeed, Chengtian Base had established a research institute, but as Qian Sen said, the number of researchers was pitifully small, and the equipment was too basic.

Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe saw both of them frowning as if they were in great difficulty and said, "We’ll think of a solution as soon as possible and get the research equipment that you need."

Qian Sen nodded his head, hesitated for a moment, and then added, "Right, there’s one more thing. The researchers in this Base’s institute... they really aren’t reliable. I talked to them, and these people lack real knowledge and skills; they’re just muddling along. We need to find some people who can truly be of help."

Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe were unaware of this situation since they hadn’t paid attention to the research institute and had handed over this matter to Qian Sen and Li Qingyun, as they were more professional in this area and it seemed right to them. Little did they know that the so-called research institute was in such a state!

Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe were somewhat annoyed, but since this was a legacy issue, there was no point in getting angrier. It was better to find the equipment and talent Qian Sen needed as soon as possible and get the research institute truly up and running.

Thus, Qu Qianhe said, "Don’t worry about this, I’ll have someone post a recruitment announcement in a little while. As for the requirements, Mr. Qian, you’ll be in charge. You’ll also conduct the interviews personally. With the Base so large, we won’t have trouble finding suitable talent."

Qian Sen thought about it, felt she was right, and nodded in agreement.

After discussing the matter with Fang Jintang, Qu Qianhe realized that it was not only scientific researchers that needed to be recruited; other roles throughout the Base also urgently needed talent. During Ji Chengtian’s time as the leader, control of the Base had been entirely in the hands of superpower users, and many positions were also held by them. Although these people possessed superpowers and were not lacking in strength, they were not necessarily suited for their positions. Meanwhile, those who were genuinely talented and capable couldn’t make full use of their abilities and suffered because they weren’t superpower users.

After Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang took control of the Base, they naturally couldn’t allow this to continue, so they were actively recruiting personnel.

Besides the necessary hospital, factory, and research institute, Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang were planning to establish cultural and martial arts schools. The Base housed many children who couldn’t just be left to fend for themselves; they needed school, or else their education would fall by the wayside over time.

As for the so-called martial arts school, it was designed for adults over 18. There were too many Ordinary People within the Base, and among them, barring the elderly, ill, and disabled, there remained a considerable number of able-bodied young men and women. This demographic was substantial, and if they could be trained, so they could defend themselves, the overall strength of the Base could be greatly enhanced. If adversity struck again in the future, they would have a better chance of survival. The martial arts school was established for these individuals to learn combat and enemy-destruction techniques.

What Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang hadn’t expected was many superpower users were making inquiries to the Hope Battle Group, hoping to learn if they were still recruiting, as many desired to join. These individuals included lone Corpse Hunters and former members of the Chengtian Mercenary Corps. With Ji Chengtian’s fall, the Chengtian Mercenary Corps had disintegrated, and while many had joined other forces, a significant number had their eyes on the Hope Battle Group and were keen to become a part of it.

However, while various recruitment announcements had been issued throughout the Base, there wasn’t one from the Hope Battle Group, which puzzled many.

Bai Zhengli originally felt that quality trumped quantity when it came to manpower and saw no need to recruit too many people. However, Fang Jintang had a different opinion. Although the Hope Battle Group was currently powerful, it had a critical weakness: it was numerically outnumbered. Other forces within the Base had more people than they did, and without expanding their ranks, it was likely that discordant thoughts might arise among the others.

Rather than face potential issues later, it was better to start recruiting some people now and further bolster the overall strength. Only by doing so could the Hope Battle Group remain invincible.

After some thought, Bai Zhengli suddenly remembered his days at Beishi Base. He had been suppressed by Bai Zhengyi back then because he had too few people under his command and his own strength was inadequate. Now that they had just entered Long Province and taken over a Base, they would inevitably deal with other Bases in the future. If the manpower was inadequate, issues were bound to arise. Moreover, with Luo Ding and his faction around, it was inevitable they might harbor other intentions over time.

So Bai Zhengli nodded, agreeing with Fang Jintang’s suggestion to begin recruitment. No sooner had the news gone out than Deng Hong, Meng Ping, Wan Hao, and Liu Yue hurried to join. They had previously been under Ji Chengtian but had been captured by the Hope Battle Group and formed some relationships with them.

With Ji Chengtian gone, these individuals had about a thousand men under their command, but it was insubstantial on its own and easily swallowed by other forces. Therefore, they had set their sights on the Hope Battle Group, hoping to join.

By giving the nod, Bai Zhengli played right into their hands, and they rushed over to join as soon as they received the news. (To be continued.
