Chapter 539: Chapter 369: Consecutive Breakthroughs
When Fenglu Base suggested relocating some of the population, it was no longer just a matter for Fenglu Base.
Population is the hope for the continuation of humanity, and among the six major bases, aside from Fenglu, Lingzhou, and Wushan Bases, which are surrounded by relatively fertile plains and lands capable of planting vast amounts of food to support a larger population,
the remaining three, including Kakkta Base and Mo City Base, though well-armed, face less than optimistic surrounding environments.
Kakkta Base is surrounded by desert and is extremely short on water, making large-scale population support significantly challenging.
Mo City Base is experiencing a continued drop in temperature, becoming ever more extreme, which, even with the aid of Severe Winter potions to enhance survivor resilience, does not easily mitigate the effects of the environment.
Both bases have already begun to use the suppressed Blood Sea Space to cultivate crops in order to maintain a stable production and support more people.

However, they are also aware that the Blood Sea Demons in the Blood Sea Space could form at any time, and the occasional invasions by Blood Sea Creatures also pose a massive threat.
Environmental limitations not only restrict the development of the bases but also create hidden dangers.
The East Sea Base is somewhat better off, but its threats come not from the environment, but from the constant assaults of the Sea Beasts.
Their battles are the most frequent, and they face the largest number of monsters, which greatly disrupts their production order.
Therefore, when Fenglu Base proposed relocating survivors and Su Han had the capacity to carry out large-scale transfers and receptions, this was undoubtedly the best choiceâestablishing a major human rear base.
âKakkta Base targets to relocate 300,000 individuals primarily comprising the elderly, children, women, and technical personnel, while retaining armed function, and conducting broader population rescue operations,â stated Jiang BeiWu with a grave expression.
He spoke earnestly, âAfter this connection, some survivors should come to join us.â
Not every psionic will choose to establish a major force; in relatively safe situations like several bases, joining them can be a better option.
âBut we must also be careful. The more people come to join, the more mixed the group will be; we need to be more vigilant and attentive,â he said, his voice cool and complexion especially calm. In a post-apocalyptic world, whatâs never lacking are people who have abandoned their sense of right and wrong, and those people can sometimes be dangerous.
âBe cautious in screening; we cannot possibly turn people away,â Li Wenyuan interjected.
âBut one thing is for certain, we need to ensure there are no issues with those relocated to Tree Domain,â he added.
âNaturally.â
Everyone agreed to the proposal. Fenglu Base would transfer one million people, Kakkta Base 300,000, Mo City 300,000, Lingzhou Base 500,000, and East Sea Base 300,000. In total, this relocation involved approximately two million people.
Wushan Base didnât make any moves, as the entire Wushan Base, along with its subordinate cities, were part of the southern region, which was already included in the plans for what is currently known as the Southern Border Great Wall.
They would slowly disperse a portion of the population towards Linshui and Gehe City, gradually moving closer to the Tree Domain.
âWhat about the Bug Quality Rift?â
Liu Rulongâs gaze shifted slightly as he asked Su Han, âIs it possible to construct a Bug Quality Rift in every city?â
As a general, he was keenly aware of the strategic significance of this Bug Quality Rift for support.
If every city could have a Bug Quality Rift constructed, then the entire Xia Country region could be revitalized.
âIn theory, itâs possible, but not very practical,â Su Han replied.
He said, âMaintaining a Bug Quality Rift, even when itâs not opened, requires a certain amount of Bug Quality.â
When itâs opened in one direction, it consumes more of the Bug Quality energy provided by the Queen of Insect Tans from this side.
But this is only temporary; to maintain it for a long time, a considerable amount of Bug Quality needs to be gathered at the other rift to support it.
The major bases can continuously convert the flesh of slain Blood Sea Creatures and other monsters into Bug Quality to sustain the existence of the Bug Quality Rift.
However, outfitting every city with one is currently not realistic.
âI will set up a Bug Quality Rift in each of the six bases for emergencies, turning the Fourth Grade and above combat power of the six bases into a mobilizable whole,â Su Han clarified and suggested further, âI also recommend that the wounded warriors be sent to Tree Domain for Heteromorphic Transformation into Insectoid Warriors of the Tree Domainâs major bases, and then in each base, alongside the Bug Quality Rift, construct Worm Nests to act as auxiliary troops.â
âI agree to the construction; the consumption of the swarm is much less than that of regular warfare, making them suitable as auxiliaries,â unexpectedly, Liu Rulong was the first to agree, looking at Su Han, he added, âAnd since they are under your control, itâs much safer than indiscriminately expanding the Armed Forces.â
Protecting more of the population requires more warriors, and indeed many among the survivors have impressive abilities.
But itâs a major taboo to grant command rights unconditionally to those who join the Armed Forces solely based on their strength.
Therefore, in the armed forces of the current bases, selection and training are still indispensable stages for joining the Armed Forces.
Indeed, one of the reasons Liu Rulong mentioned is true, but the root of the issue lies elsewhere.
Itâs about transferring a portion of command authority by setting up Worm Nest Territories.
As commander of the East Sea Base, he agreed to it.
Even Su Han himself was somewhat surprised to see Liu Rulong consenting, but Liu Rulong simply smiled and said, âThe East Sea Base has suffered heavy losses, if the swarm could join the fight, the consumption would be greatly reduced.â
