Chapter 668 Great Changes in the Original World 22

Wu Xian didn't expect that he would be so valued that the top leader of the base came to recruit him personally.

Wu Xian also realized from this that the situation might not be as good as he thought. Before, Wu Xian thought that the danger in the world had been completely eliminated, and at least people could move freely and live a peaceful life.

But the fact that a commander personally recruited him as an evolver proved that the base was very short of combat effectiveness. If the purpose was to clear out a large number of mutant creatures or zombies, the army could directly use weapons of mass destruction and, after dispersing the crowd, directly launch a saturation attack on the city.

The house is gone, and that’s it, but the current situation doesn’t seem to be solved by high-powered weapons. It looks like there are some obstacles that require evolvers like them to face.

Things turned out pretty much as Wu Xian had guessed. Because the country originally took the issue of survivors into consideration, it did not use large-scale weapons. Later, after establishing a safe base and transferring personnel, it tried to use high-yield weapons and found that in addition to conventional weapons, they could use other weapons.

All weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, cannot be used as they are locked by an unknown force.

Even if dozens of nuclear bombs were dropped from an altitude of ten thousand meters, the result would be that the nuclear bombs would fail to explode and would land safely and intact without even a scratch on the surface. This situation is completely out of touch with reality.

Therefore, the original cleanup plan had to be put on hold, and instead a safe base was built to gather the survivors together for unified management. The army would then slowly clear out the safe area, gradually expand the base outward, and finally complete the nationwide cleanup operation.

The emergence of the evolvers allowed the plan to develop further. The country decided to establish a special department to manage all genetically mutated humans. The team that joined this department and was responsible for fighting against the mutated creatures was called the Special Forces.

This is how the current model came about, with soldiers working with the evolvers to deal with various mutant creatures and zombies, search for supplies, and expand the scope of the base.

"I have already told you my identity. I can guarantee that I can do what I say. If you are interested in the position, I can negotiate and give you a deputy director-level title. Your salary can be calculated based on the salary of a director-level cadre. As long as your performance is good enough, I guarantee that you will be promoted to a director-level cadre within six months!"

Wu Xian waved his hand quickly and said, "It doesn't matter what the salary for this position is. What I am considering is the issue of freedom. I think joining the base means losing freedom, right?"

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "That's for sure, because given the current situation, there are definitely a lot of things that need to be done, but I promise that unless it is necessary, you can choose not to accept the task assigned to you."

"That is to say, you can choose to accept it or not!"

"Although I can't give you complete freedom, I can still give you relative freedom!"

"What if I want to leave the base?"

"As long as there is a legitimate reason, there is no rule that prohibits leaving the base!"

"Will there be a lot of things for me to deal with? Like signing documents or writing reports?"

"You don't have to write it. I can arrange an assistant for you and let them do all these things!"

"You don't have to worry about these. You can apply for benefits and other things. As long as they are not too excessive, I can approve them for you. How about it? Do you want to join our Jiangnan Security Base?"

Commander Lin looked at Wu Xiandao solemnly.

Wu Xian picked up the cup and was about to drink tea, but found that the teapot was empty. Commander Lin picked up the teapot in front of him and poured some for Wu Xian.

After Wu Xian thanked him, he added, "I have two more friends!"

"These are minor issues. We will arrange accommodation for them and manage them properly!"

Seeing the old man's attitude, Wu Xian decided not to think about it anymore. If anything went wrong, he could just run away. If he really wanted to leave, no one could stop him. Since the other party had offered so many attractive conditions and he could have a normal life in the base, why should he work so hard to set up a gathering place for survivors and find food by himself? That would be too much trouble.

Thinking of this, Wu Xian nodded and said, "Okay, I can join the base!"

When the old man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he knocked on the table. Soon a guard came over with a document and placed it in front of Wu Xian.

"Although I recruited you, you still have to go through the basic procedures. Fill in your basic information and let Xiao Chen take you to register your identity. After completing various checks, you can take up your post!"

Wu Xian nodded and began to look at the document in front of him.

Then I took a pen and filled it out. The content was very simple, just name, date of birth, native place, political status, educational background, etc.

It was very similar to the resume that ordinary people fill out in interviews, so Wu Xian just filled it out casually.

The old man stood up and said, "I have some important things to deal with, so I won't eat. If you have anything to say, you can talk to Xiao Chen directly!"

When Wu Xian saw Commander Lin leaving, he also prepared to stand up. He had learned a lot of workplace rules from his previous leaders, and he had to stand up to see off the elder leaders when they left.

But Lin Xiangxiang waved his hand and said, "No need to see me off. Let's eat first and then leave!"

At this time, several waiters were delivering meals into the box. Wu Xian sat down upon seeing this. He first carefully checked the document in his hand, and after making sure that there was no problem, he handed it to the guard Xiao Chen beside him.

After taking the document, Xiao Chen walked out of the box. After handing it over to someone outside the door, he returned to the box and stood aside, as if waiting for Wu Xian to express his needs.

Wu Xian looked at the table full of dishes, thought for a moment and said, "I have two friends who came here with me. They were taken away by a researcher named Han. I don't know his exact name, but there was a female assistant next to him called Dr. Han. Please help me check it out and bring my two friends over for dinner!"

Xiao Chen frowned at first, but when he thought of Commander Lin's order just now, he immediately suppressed his dissatisfaction and nodded, "Okay!"

"Is there anything else you want me to do?"

"That's all for now. Oh, by the way, can you help me check if there are any survivors from the University of Science and Technology in the base? There are probably about a hundred of them. If there are any, bring the leader from that time to see me!"

Xiao Chen just wanted to be polite, but she didn't expect the other party to make another request to her, asking her to find the survivors who moved in from outside. If it was just to find a person, it would be fine, but the other party didn't give her a name, only a direction. With just this one piece of information about a survivor who came from the direction of science and engineering, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the leader of the hundred or so people in this base of nearly one million survivors...
