Chapter 9: Want to Give the Savior a Gift!

The Xuanwu Base was established 200 years ago, and in the beginning, there was meat.

At that time, the base’s ecosystem was healthy, with a population of over 4 million. Each household was guaranteed 10 pounds of meat per month.

Those who contributed more could even get a higher quota.

But good times didn’t last.

As the number of mutated beasts increased, and with natural disasters constantly occurring, the local plants, animals, and microorganisms outside the base gradually began to die off. The farmed livestock and poultry were affected, starting with strange diseases and eventually massive die-offs.

By the time they realized what was happening, most of the livestock had perished.

Only a few species remained.

150 years ago, livestock farming completely died out.

People began to consume synthetic meat.

However, synthetic meat was, after all, artificial and lacked the true nutritional value of real meat.

At first, synthetic meat was made from various plants, which wasn’t too bad.

But 100 years ago, the number of mutated beasts suddenly surged. Some of them released toxins into the air that accelerated the extinction of plants and animals. These plants and animals perished one after another.

Fortunately, through hunting the mutated beasts, humans learned to use their crystal cores and developed supernatural abilities, allowing them to survive the catastrophe.

However, in just a century, the base’s population had dwindled to only a million.

Later, a genius scientist was born—Song Lufeng’s grandfather, Song Zuquan, who was a 2S-level super intellectual.

With his extraordinary wisdom and immense courage, he developed controllable nuclear fusion, super steel, super mechs, quantum computers, and matter transformation technology…

He completely rebuilt the entire Xuanwu City, enhancing its safety.

The people of Xuanwu City survived again, and even experienced a small population boom.

This period lasted for 50 years.

However, the mutated beasts’ numbers were simply too many, and they evolved too quickly.

They began to surround the city.

After thousands of battles, the beasts, with their endless numbers, completely suppressed humanity.

Humans were forced to stay confined within the city.

Resources were consumed rapidly, and without resources, the high-tech equipment and weapons developed by Song Zuquan were rendered useless.

The population of the base once again began to plummet…

In summary, over the past 50 years, they hadn’t eaten meat—not even synthetic meat!

Older generals, like Shi Hai, had only eaten synthetic meat a few times during their childhood, and they could barely recall the taste.

Now, seeing the pork and mutton in the storage room, how could they not feel deeply moved and extremely excited?

“Heaven be merciful, we actually have meat to eat!”

“Heaven didn’t pity us; it’s the Savior who pitied us!”

“The Savior is too good, so good!”

Everyone was overjoyed and at a loss for words.

When they were in their darkest moments.

When all resources had been exhausted.

When the people of the base were about to starve to death.

The Savior arrived.

She brought food.

And meat!

Lin Zhouwen quickly said:

“This 3000 pounds of meat can be made into 150 million servings of meat nutrition liquid. Even if each person gets three servings a day, it’s enough to sustain us for six months!”

His face showed an unmistakable joy.

When others heard this, they were equally joyful.

Song Lufeng also smiled with joy; it was all thanks to the Savior.

But on the other end of the phone, Gu Man couldn’t be happy.

They had it too tough!

They were so frugal!

3000 pounds of meat could sustain 300,000 people for half a year. She couldn’t even imagine it.

An ordinary family of four would consume about 15 pounds of meat a month.

That didn’t even account for eggs, dairy, staple foods, and vegetables.

3000 pounds would only be enough for 200 families to consume normally for a month.

And how many families did this base have?

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but send a voice message.

“Don’t be frugal, eat the meat, if it’s not enough, I’ll buy more tomorrow! I’ll buy more meat for you all!”

She was planning to find a couple of pig farms and cattle ranches to order all the meat they needed.

That should be enough for them.

But just eating meat wasn’t enough.

Staple food, vegetables, and fruits needed to be added as well.

When Song Lufeng heard Gu Man’s voice, it felt like a spring breeze had brushed through his heart.

It was so soothing, so beautiful.

The Savior said she would buy them more meat.

What a divine sound!

The others were also stunned.

Some of them were hearing her voice for the first time.

Is this the Savior’s voice?

She’s so young.

So sweet.

Her voice is sweet.

The content is even sweeter.

Sweet to the heart, bringing infinite hope!

They rushed over to her.

“The Savior, is she the Savior?”

“The Savior is in this antique phone?”

“You don’t understand, this is a phone from the Golden Age, a must-have for everyone!”

“Did phones in those days have the function of transporting supplies? It must have required quantum channels to build…”

“How else could she be the Savior? Of course, she’s one of a kind!”

Everyone’s eyes were shining with excitement, wishing they could burn through the phone.

The phone was kept in excellent condition, golden in color, and it was obvious its owner was someone who loved money.

It seemed a little out of place in Song Lufeng’s hands, but when the Savior was on the other end, it made all the difference.

It was a divine object!

“Everyone,” Song Lufeng said:

“We can’t just take and not give back. The Savior saved our lives, we must repay her.”

Upon hearing this, everyone felt it made sense.

They all nodded and eagerly offered suggestions.

“Repay, we must repay!”

“But what could the Savior be lacking?”

“I see that the production dates on these bags are from the Golden Age’s revitalization period. What did people lack at that time?”

Song Lufeng reminded them:

“They didn’t lack food or clothing, but they certainly lacked crystal cores and high-tech products… She’s a girl, and with so much wealth, when she’s transporting supplies to us, her safety might not be enough.”

“Even though there was a sound legal system back then, still…”

Once he said that, everyone understood.

“The Lord is right, people die for money, birds die for food, there will definitely be someone eyeing her!”

“We must be proactive in protecting her!”

“Wait for me, I’ll go back and grab something!”
