Chapter 714: First Meeting ( 2 )
When they heard Li Jing’s introduction, everyone was taken aback and whispered to each other with a frown. Seeing their dissatisfaction, Pei Yijun leaned back in his seat and tapped his fingers on the armrest.
He watched them for a while before he said, "If anyone has any objection, they can voice it out now."
Hearing his words, a middle-aged man stood up and said, "Commander Li, since this base was first built, it was you who managed everything and led us. How can you just give away your position to a yellow-haired brat?"
Being addressed as Commander, Li Jing glanced at Pei Yijun. When he saw that he didn’t show any displeasure, he heaved a silent sigh.
He met the middle-aged man’s gaze and replied, "Chief Du, you might have misunderstood. Everything we use and have is given by Commander Pei. Without him, there would be no Mountain Base."
"Even if he is the one who owns everything, you didn’t have to give him the leader position. You can appoint him as an elder," Du Fanxie said, with displeasure clear in his voice.
When he said this, Li Yang, who was standing behind Pei Yijun, finally said, "Chief Du, the Commander not only provides money and items. He was also the one who designed this base, and he was the one who ordered us to save you and your family."
Chu Zhimiao nodded and added, "The Commander also closed the deal with the Lin’an City Base. Without him, there would be no Mountain Base. If he is unqualified to be the Commander, who will be?"
"Chief Du, as a person, we have to know how to be grateful. Everyone who lives in this base, including all of you, was saved by the Commander and not me," Li Jing said.
After he said this, everyone went silent. A few minutes later, Pei Yijun finally said, "This base is mine, and whoever is unwilling to follow me can pack up and leave. I won’t stop you."
When they saw that he didn’t give them any face, 2 people stood up, and one of them said, "Since that is the case, then I won’t stay."
Seeing them leave, Li Jing turned to Pei Yijun and asked, "Commander Pei, what should we do?"
The 2 of them were important people. One of them was a renowned surgeon, and the other was a renowned researcher. Without them, their medical department would lag behind.
After the 2 of them left the room, Pei Yijun looked at everyone present and asked, "Who else wants to leave?"
Some people hesitated for a while, but still stayed in the end.
Seeing that no one wanted to leave anymore, Pei Yijun finally said, "Miaomiao, when you contact Commander Xun, remember to ask him to send a few more doctors and researchers to train our people."
Chu Zhimiao nodded and made a note of it. "Understood."
Then, Pei Yijun turned to Li Jing and asked, "Vice Commander, how is the progress of the base construction?"
After he sat down, Li Jing said, "Everyone, please take a look at the document. Currently, the wall progress has reached 95%. If there is no unforeseen trouble, we will be able to finish the wall in 10 to 12 days."
"As for the residence areas, we currently have a total of 4 districts: Area C, D, E, and F. All of the residential buildings have been equipped with basic furniture and are ready for use."
Pei Yijun read the report and asked, "How about the hospital?"
This time, it was a man in his 30s who replied, "Currently, we have a total of 30 doctors. 25 of them are specialists, and 5 of them are consultants. We also have a total of 57 experienced nurses."
"At this moment, we lack some medicines, surgical machines, and tools. If we can get them, we will be able to provide better treatment."
Hearing this, Pei Yijun nodded and said, "Compile the list and send it to Chu Zhimiao. How about the healers?"
Hearing this, Wen Yun flipped his documents and replied, "We currently have a total of 5 healing-type ability-users: 1 level 3, 2 level 2, and 2 level 1."
Pei Yijun frowned when he heard this. Healing ability was very rare, and the price paid by the ability-users to use this ability varied.
Most of them would consume a huge amount of energy and their own health when they healed others. Some of them with stronger healing power even needed to sacrifice their lifespan.
Only in very rare cases did a healing-type ability-user not have to pay any price when healing others. Besides Jiao Lizhi, he had never met anyone who could heal others without a problem.
He thought for a while before he asked, "How many water-type ability-users do we have?"
"Not including the newly arrived survivors and ability-users, we currently have a total of 237 water-type ability-users. The highest level is level 3, and there are only 7 people," Li Jing replied.
Pei Yijun recalled the sensation he felt when Jiao Lizhi healed him. After a moment, he asked again, "How many of them provide water daily?"
"Out of 237 water-type ability-users, 195 people provide water to the base."
"How about the rest?"
"Some of them sell water in the market at a lower price, while the rest joined mercenary teams and provided water to their teams."
After a moment of silence, Pei Yijun said, "Recruit as many water-type ability-users as we can."
When they heard this, everyone exchanged confused glances.
"Commander, the water-type ability-users only provide water and have no combat power at all. There is no need to recruit them permanently," Du Fanxie said.
As the head of the security department, he had the authority to hire and manage all guards, including ability-users. He was clear about the strength of each type of ability, and with his experience as a soldier, he was experienced in leading troops and war tactics.
After more than 6 months of the apocalypse, everyone reached the same conclusion.
