Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Respect The Strong (36)

After talking with Zhou Zhen, Zhou Yuxin began to persuade members of the team to join the base. But in fact, she didn’t need to work hard, because Xiao Ai would definitely stay at the base to conduct research. She also needed key protection. Of course, Xiao Cheng wasn’t rest assured to hand her over to others and could only stay with her.

As for Xiao Jin, his relationship with Zhou Yuxin has gotten a lot closer in the past few months. He has always admired women with strong abilities. Zhou Yuxin was probably the second woman after Chu Xiang that he attached importance to. In the process of getting along day and night, sparks unconsciously ignited between the two.

Now that Zhou Yuxin has to manage the base, and Xiao Cheng has to stay with Xiao Ai, his heart certainly also shifted to the base. But Chu Xiang rescued him from the start. Afterward, he followed her all the way, and she even taught him how to cultivate. He was most concerned about Chu Xiang’s thoughts. However, the final decision to stay or go was still left to her.

Chu Xiang was actually a bit bored, because although people in this world have spiritual roots, they didn’t know any cultivation techniques. Her current strength could be considered unrivaled in this world. Even if she didn’t cultivate, she still has countless ways to defeat others. The world where the strong were respected wasn’t as fun as she thought. She didn’t really miss it either; she still liked the life in those previous worlds.

Besides, there were ugly zombies all over the place. There was no beauty to speak of; even the city and human beings were not clean and tidy enough. She felt too uncomfortable looking at them. It was much more interesting for her to return to the entertainment industry to be a star now than remain in an apocalypse.

It was for this reason that she helped send those researchers back to the base, wanting them to destroy the zombies as soon as possible. By then, even if the world needed time to rebuild, the new system would have to go through various wars before it could be established. At least there will be more entertainment in the future. She was an expert in terms of pharmaceuticals, so of course she should stay.

When Xiao Ai knew that Chu Xiang knew about pharmaceutical research, her shock and admiration were beyond words. It seemed that from the first time she saw Chu Xiang, the height of Chu Xiang in her heart had been refreshed again and again. It was as if she has a never ending peak. Nobody knew exactly how much more Chu Xiang knew, let alone what she used to do.

She was mystery itself. She was a real expert powerhouse in this field of the world. No one could understand her, but could only look up to her.

Chu Xiang’s decision was the decision of the team. She put on a white coat, stayed in the Research Institute, and became what people called “Dr. Chu”. Zhou Yuxin smoothly stayed, and dragged Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng to manage the base together, so that Zhou Zhen could relax. Although they stayed at the Hope Base, everyone seemed busier and had more to manage every day. It was also because they stayed in the base that the reputation of the base spread wide. People increasingly came, and the base grew non-stop.

Research wasn’t a piece of cake. Chu Xiang together with Xiao Ai and a group of researchers conducted experiments every day from morning to night. There was no counting how many times they failed. However, after three full months of research, they succeeded in producing a drug to combat and control zombie virus below the third level.

Containers were scarce in a post-apocalyptic world, so Chu Xiang asked the researchers to produce all medicines into pills, making them convenient to carry. As soon as the medicine came out, ordinary people also took up arms and wandered a little farther. As long as they didn’t get bitten by zombies above level three, they could be safe. This greatly enhanced people’s safety and workforce. Orders from other bases poured in like snowflakes, and a wide variety of supplies became goods in exchange for medicine.

Zhou Zhen repeatedly sighed more than once. “If our base hadn’t met Chu Xiang, we would have been annexed by the Dawn Base. I would have been dead by now, and our people would have ended up miserable. Fortunately, we met Chu Xiang. We’re really lucky.”

The deputy who had been with him for a long time asked in a whisper, “What exactly does Chu Xiang want to do? It seems that since she appeared, no one can guess what she will do next. There is no pattern or purpose in her actions at all. She’s always nonchalant, and she does whatever comes to mind. Afterwhich, she would solve whatever she encountered. Nobody knows what kind of life she wants to live and what her goal is.”

Zhou Zhen laughed and shook his head. “When a person can do as he pleases, isn’t it just a matter of doing whatever comes to mind? Why does she have to have a purpose? Everything depends on her liking, so I say we are lucky, because she didn’t pick us to help us. She just happened to be here at the time. She happened to have some personal grudges with others, and she happened to be in a good mood to lend a hand.”

“So she stayed at our base just because she happened to know someone else, and she stayed here because she wanted to do research.” The deputy also laughed and joked, “Uncle Zhen, don’t worry. Yuxin and the others have managed the base very well. We will definitely be more than just a base in the future. I have a hunch that they will usher in an era.”

“Yeah, I’ll just wait and see.” Zhou Zhen was very fortunate that he had resisted letting his daughter join Chu Xiang’s team. Otherwise, everything today would not have happened.

They knew very well how the prosperity of the base came about, so they also cherished and appreciated it very much. They have never swaggered off arrogantly because of the development of the base, instead their management of the base has increasingly turned strict. Xiao Jin used to be a soldier. He set up a regular army at the base, trained and guarded the base every day. He also took people out with Xiao Cheng to collect building materials and supplies, and exterminated the zombies around.

The base was developing in all aspects. After another three months, Chu Xiang stepped out of the Research Institute and almost couldn’t recognize the base.
