Hua Dai considered, "We are from Base M, you know that, right? Have you ever considered merging the Xiongba Base into our Base M?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shan Xiong's expression became solemn.

"Are you trying to annex our base?"

"It's not annexation, it's merger." Hua Dai said hurriedly, "Don't worry, M Base will never treat you unfairly."

Shan Xiong refused bluntly: "Our base will not merge with any other base."

Although his answer was expected, Hua Dai was still a little disappointed and persuaded him, "Are you really not going to reconsider it? M Base is an official large base with a much larger population than your base. If your base is merged into M Base, it will be a good thing for you."

"Don't think about it." Shan Xiong's attitude was very firm. "Sister Hua, for the sake of our acquaintance, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said. Please don't say such things again in the future."

At this point, Hua Dai did not want to say more. She made a zipper-like motion and said, "I am sorry for being rude."

"However, I am still very happy that you can come to Xiongba Base." Shan Xiong put away the seriousness on his face and said with a smile, "Welcome to you!"

Having said that, he took the initiative to lead the nine people to visit the Xiongba base.

There are not many people in the Xiongba base, only about two or three hundred, living in a small community.

There is a wall surrounding the community, roadblocks at the entrance, and a patrol team is responsible for patrolling. The security of the entire community is quite tight.

Shan Xiong has a high prestige in the base, and wherever he passes by, residents greet him enthusiastically.

"Boss, are these new members?" someone asked curiously.

Shan Xiong said in a loud voice: "No, they are my friends, and they are visiting our base."

"So they are the boss's friends, so they are also our base's friends?" The other party replied with a smile, "Boss, you have to entertain them well."

"It's natural!"

Shan Xiong took a few people on a tour of the entire community.

The community is not big, but it is more than enough to accommodate two or three hundred people.

After the tour, Shan Xiong took them to the house where he lived.

"This is my home. It's a bit messy, please don't mind."

The mess is really messy.

The living room was littered with food packaging bags, with no place to step.

Shan Xiong scratched his head in embarrassment and hurried forward to clean up the house.

Although the house was still a little messy after cleaning, it was much tidier than before. After entering the house, several people found a place to sit down.

"You chose a good location for this base." Hua Dai said with a smile, "It occupies such a small area, and there are roadblocks on several surrounding roads."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Shan Xiong went to the kitchen to boil water and poured a cup of tea for each of them. "This community is quite far from the city, so it's quite remote. As long as we block the surrounding roads, it's relatively safe."

As he spoke, he sat on a small stool. His tall body seemed somewhat out of place with the stool.

"This county town is not too far from City M, but the population is actually not that large. It is a small county town." Shan Xiong continued, "In the past year, we have cleaned up the county town. If our base wants to expand to the county town, it is completely possible."

"It's just that our base doesn't have many people, so there's no need to expand the base to the entire county."

Hua Dai was a little surprised when she heard this: "In other words, this county town is currently empty?"

"Correct."

Hua Dai glanced at Lu Xinyi, then at Yu Nan, and after exchanging glances, she said, "Can we go to the county town for a stroll?"

"of course can."

There were still two or three hours before dark, so the group walked straight out of the community and headed towards the county town.

It takes an estimated fifteen minutes to walk from the community where the Xiongba base is located to the county town.

The group moved very quickly and reached the entrance to the county town in ten minutes.

"The permanent population of this county is estimated to be less than 50,000. After the apocalypse, most of the people turned into zombies. Over the past year, we have wiped them out bit by bit." Shan Xiong led everyone for a stroll in the county.

There is no zombie to be seen in the entire county now, but black bloodstains and broken limbs can still be seen on the streets.

The shops on both sides of the road were covered in dust and spider webs, creating a desolate and dilapidated scene.

"It's a bit of a waste to leave such a county town empty." Hua Dai said nonchalantly, "If this county town can be put to good use, it can accommodate tens of thousands of survivors."

Shan Xiong said casually: "Of course, this county used to have a permanent population of tens of thousands. Wouldn't it be easy to accommodate tens of thousands of people?"

"What if..." Hua Dai turned her head and looked at him, "If Base M moved to this county, would you object?"

"I..." Shan Xiong was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

The two of them confronted each other for a moment, and Hua Dai smiled and said, "I just said that casually. M Base has its own stronghold and a lot of people. It's not that easy to change places."

Shan Xiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Deep down, he didn't want to be too close to other bases.

Besides, this county town was cleared out bit by bit by their base. He wasn't that generous to just give this county town to others.

But facing Hua Dai, he didn't know how to answer.

The group toured the county and then returned to the Xiongba base.

"You can stay at our base tonight." Shan Xiong led the others into the community and said, "It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, so I should at least show my hospitality as a host."

Hua Dai glanced at Lu Xinyi, and seeing that she had no objection, she nodded and said, "Then we'll bother you."

Shan Xiong smiled happily and took a few people to an empty house.

"These two houses are clean. You can live here first." Shan Xiong pointed to the two houses on both sides of the stairs. "You can rest first. I will come to see you at dinner time."

After Shan Xiong left, Hua Dai and Lu Xinyi simply divided the two houses, giving the left house to Hua Dai and her four people, and the right house to Lu Xinyi and her five people.

After entering the house, Yuan Yi couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Sister Hua, are you really planning to move the M base to this county?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hua Dai glanced at him. "Do I have this ability? Isn't it the base commander who has the final say on the base's affairs? I was just asking casually at the time. I really think it's a waste to leave this county empty."

But judging from Shan Xiong's reaction, he must be unwilling.

Since the other party is unwilling, she certainly won't make herself unhappy.

"In fact, I also think that it would be a good idea to locate the M base in this county." Yu Nan pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and said in a deep voice, "Of course, it's just a thought."

Everyone knows that regardless of Shan Xiong's decision, just moving the M base from the suburbs of M City to this county town is a huge project.

So, it is indeed just a thought.
