Wild Evolution: I am the real-life Demon God!

The next day, when it was broad daylight.

Meng Shisan immediately led Yang Jiu and his group to take over the bunker.

For him, this is a new beginning.

Having a complete bunker means he has his own base.

When they arrived, the people inside the bunker were already waiting outside.

"From now on, this place is yours." It was still Liu Jiaming's voice. "To be honest, I would rather you could lead everyone to forge a new path."

Liu Jiaming does have all sorts of problems, but he's not lying about this one point.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find a completely new path to prove you wrong." Meng Shisan didn't hold back either.

"I hope so." After saying that, Liu Jiaming stopped rambling. "The people in the bunker have all been evacuated, and nothing has been moved, but it can only hold about 1,500 people at most."

Sometimes, necessary sacrifices are required; death is simply a means to allow more people to live.

Now that you've come this far, you should understand the necessary choices to make.

Without replying, Meng Shisan simply gave Yang Jiu a look, signaling them to go in and check first.

For Meng Shisan, this wasn't necessary, as Baozi had already given him the answer. But for Yang Jiu and the others, it was still necessary.

"I will make choices and sacrifices, but I will never do what you did," Meng Shisan said after Yang Jiu led his men inside.

There was no point in saying more when there was no common ground. After seeing that Yang Jiu and the others had all gone inside, Liu Jiaming led his men away.

Meng Shisan glanced at them and saw that there were only a little over a hundred people, most of whom were unfamiliar faces and not very old. He shook his head inwardly, knowing without a doubt who these people were.

Seeing that they weren't heading towards the base, Meng Shisan knew that the base definitely had more than one bunker outside.

"What does this guy mean?" Wang Wu, who was standing nearby, asked in confusion, "Is he deliberately revealing that they have other bunkers outside the base?"

Meng Shisan was also puzzled. Baozi had already told him that these people were not going to the bunker, but to a mine.

Moreover, none of these people knew that there was a second bunker outside the base.

This is intriguing.

At the very least, Liu Jiaming should know, right?

Thinking this, he asked himself, "Are you sure Liu Jiaming doesn't know? Even if the base doesn't, he should still know, right?"

"Strictly speaking, that's not Liu Jiaming." Baozi pondered for a while and said, "Now I understand a little. Liu Jiaming is actually just a cuckoo taking over the nest. The way he controls these people is just a consciousness, while the body is still the original owner's."

I am unable to communicate with his physical form.

Meng Shisan understood.

Baozi can only communicate with its own kind of cells, but Liu Jiaming is not a cell at this moment.

Having figured out the problem, he waved his hand and said, "Let them be, let's go check out the bunker first."

The bunker is actually quite large; calling it small is only relative to the base.

The bunker extends downwards to seven levels, with each level containing approximately ten to thirty rooms.

The size varies depending on the function.

It includes research areas, medical areas, security areas, energy areas, logistics support areas, and living areas.

"This place is barely enough to accommodate 1,500 people. I did the math, and without affecting the normal operation of the other areas, each room would need to be crammed with about ten people."

While Meng Shisan was still inspecting the equipment in the research area, Yang Jiu climbed up from the seventh basement level, his brow beaded with sweat.

"Is there any problem with logistical support?" Meng Shisan didn't seem to mind.

"That's no problem. The logistics support is all on the bottom floor. The oxygen supply system and power generation system are both operating normally. It's just that we'll have to prepare the energy needed for power generation ourselves from now on. I took a look, and the energy that the base left us can only last for ten days at most."

This could be a significant burden for us in the future.

At this point, Yang Jiu also felt a lot of pressure. "I just checked, and they were only maintaining the minimum standard of operation of the entire base. That is to say, apart from the basic lighting and oxygen supply systems, their consumption is actually not that high."

Moreover, their numbers are small.

If we have too many people and operate all the areas, the energy consumed will be considerable.

Even if we, the pioneers, did nothing but explore every day, we still couldn't sustain the entire bunker's operations.

"How did the base manage to do that?" Meng Shisan wondered. "Logically speaking, there aren't many pioneers at the base, but it's still able to maintain the operation of the entire bunker."

"The base is different," Wang Wu said. "First of all, the base is much more complete than here. Secondly, there are more people at the base. They really generate electricity by manpower. At least 50% of the people in the entire Ministry of Energy are doing this."

Moreover, it's a 20-hour non-stop operation.

The resources collected by the pioneers were mostly used for emergency reserves.

It's not that the pioneers are responsible for keeping the entire base running.

"I see." Meng Shisan really didn't know this. He pinched his chin, and after a moment, he shook his head. "In that case, there really isn't a better way."

Although there are quite a few of us, this bunker definitely can't accommodate so many people.

Two thousand people died at most.

But nowadays, we need to focus more on scientific research. If you really asked them to come to the bunker and operate the generators, I doubt many would be willing.

That's true. Those who are willing to stay on the ground are those who have had enough of the base's exploitation. If Meng Shisan makes them run the generators, what's the difference between them and those on the base?

If we were to actually do that, people's hearts would be scattered.

I'm willing to stay on the ground because I want a different way of life.

"How about we make a deal with Liu Jiaming and his group?" Yang Jiu said. "Don't they want river water? We can exchange river water for their energy reserves."

For us, the river is boundless.

"That's one way," Wang Wu said with a smile. "But it'll be tough on you."

Meng Shisan didn't say anything; he didn't mind being a little tired.

The key issue is that he doesn't know what Yaoyang is thinking or what he's going to do right now. At this critical juncture, he really doesn't want things to get too tense with Yaoyang.

He doesn't think he has the strength to fight back against someone who even steamed buns avoid.

Of course, he didn't tell anyone else about this. After thinking it over, he said, "Let's leave it at that for now and see how things go."

Yang Jiu, go back and inform Yan Zhiyu and the others to prioritize sending those engaged in scientific research and medical work over here in batches.

We also acquired a lot of data yesterday, so we can't miss that.

Of course, it's entirely voluntary; those who don't want to come won't be forced.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Yang Jiu said and left without any hesitation.

After he left, Meng Shisan went to the security area again and saw that there were all kinds of weapons, and even the explosives were not taken away.

"That old bastard Liu Jiaming has actually shown some generosity for once." Upon seeing the weapons, Wang Wu immediately walked over and picked them up with great interest.

Meng Shisan smiled but didn't say anything.

He could understand what Liu Jiaming meant.

The entire first floor consists of the research area, medical area, and security area.

There's a reason for this arrangement.

Things brought back from the wilderness should be studied immediately. Some things even have a limited shelf life, so placing them on the first shelf ensures that they can enter the research stage as soon as possible.

As for the medical area, it's even simpler. Whatever injuries you take inside the bunker, it's not a big problem. At least the probability of death is not as high as when you come back from the wasteland.

The security zone goes without saying; the biggest threat to the entire bunker comes from the wasteland.

After they finished taking inventory of the weapons and firearms in the security area, the first batch of researchers arrived.

These people do not yet have the ability to roam the wasteland, so they are all wearing wasteland armor.

Due to the limited number of armors, the first batch consisted of only about twenty people.

"There are quite a few researchers and medical staff coming. I've counted, and I estimate there are three or four hundred people," Yan Zhiyu said. "Here's the roster, take a look."

After saying that, Yan Zhiyu handed over a roster.

Meng Shisan opened the package but only glanced at it briefly, asking in confusion, "Xu Xin is coming too?"

"Yes, she volunteered. I didn't know how to arrange it, so I just made a note of it."

"Forget it." Meng Shisan shook his head and said, "She's too special. The only reason we didn't kill her is because Bei Douchen has always protected her. And even so, she still wants to get involved in our core."

What are you thinking about?

"If all else fails, have Cao Er contact Liu Jiaming and return Xu Xin to them. Leaving her on the ground is useless except as a vessel for Beidou Chen; she's just a nuisance."

"Liu Jiaming and the others won't accept her, will they?" Yan Zhiyu said. "If they really valued her, they wouldn't have pushed her out in the first place."

Did Liu Jiaming and the others not know about her relationship with Er'er?

I wonder what she did to Er Er?

Knowing this, they still pushed her out; it's obvious they wanted to use her as a tool to kill someone.

She just didn't expect Beidou Chen to protect her to the death.

Otherwise, Xu Xin would already be a skeleton.

"What do you mean?" Meng Shisan looked at Yan Zhiyu with a puzzled expression after hearing her say that.

"I just don't understand why Liu Jiaming and the others pushed Xu Xin forward back then, even though they knew it would almost kill her. There must be a reason, right?"

Yan Zhiyu had thought about this problem for a long time, and even now, she still couldn't figure it out. "Moreover, Yan Zhiyu is very stubborn. Even though Liu Jiaming treated her that way, when Liu Jiajia and the others were in danger, even Liu Jiaming, her father, just watched without saying a word."

But she stood up at that time, which even led Shen Mo to come and kill her himself.

If that's the case, there's no reason for Liu Jiaming to abandon her or even use her as a tool to kill her.

After she finished speaking, Meng Shisan had to admire the woman's meticulousness. To be honest, he had never thought of this.

But after hearing her say that, the whole thing really did have a sinister feel to it.

"What kind of person is Liu Jiaming? He's a self-centered person who won't do anything without a profit. He only cares about his own interests. He'll save whoever is in his best interest, and he'll even abandon his own daughter if there's no benefit to him."

Judging from Xu Xin's various actions, this should clearly be to his advantage.

Yan Zhiyu continued, "I think there might be something about Xu Xin that we haven't discovered yet. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been abandoned by Liu Jiaming, valued by Bei Douchen, or targeted by Shen Mo."

Think about it, out of so many people, it's just her who managed to implicate three different groups. Isn't that suspicious?

"Right, how could Yan Zhiyu possibly know about Shen Mo's existence?" Upon hearing this, Wang Wu also looked enlightened.

"It's only possible that Shen Mo had already dealt with Yan Zhiyu a long time ago," Xie Linyuan added from the side. "And the contact time was not short, and Yan Zhiyu not only knew of His existence, but also His purpose."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those things when she tried to save Liu Jiajia.

"Wait, wait, things are in chaos, everything is in chaos." Meng Shisan interrupted the discussion and said, "I can understand that Shen Mo has been in contact with Xu Xin, after all, He also needs a vessel."

But why would He reveal his purpose to Xu Xin?

That doesn't make sense.

Speaking of this, Meng Shisan recalled the time Baozi was turned away by Xu Xin.

"Let her come." After thinking for a moment, Meng Shisan immediately said, "Give her a private infirmary, and bring her older sister along as well."

These two sisters might really have a big secret.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of various forces.

It's perfect to keep it right under my nose.

"If it really comes to a critical moment, we can still use her to manipulate Beidou Chen."

Once he made his decision, Meng Shisan stopped worrying.

The decision was made immediately.

After he finished speaking, Yan Zhiyu and the others continued their ant-like movement.

That's how it is for ordinary people. They don't have the ability to roam freely across the wilderness, and getting from one place to another is just that troublesome.

After seeing them off, Meng Shisan carried Er'er and went to choose a room.

The little girl lacks a sense of security; having a home might help.

Moreover, this little girl is probably not simple either.

It can suppress the control of Beidou Chen and others, and its strength is terrifying.

I don't know how they did it.

At the same time, in the research area, a group of people who had been engaged in scientific research before quickly threw themselves into the intense scientific research work.

Interestingly, the first thing they studied was water.

This is also in preparation for future research on the river.

"Be careful when studying the river," Wang Wu, who had just brought them here, warned. "There may still be some human consciousness in the river. Don't let them invade your lives."

When you encounter this situation, don't be afraid. Just instinctively resist. In your own minds, they are naturally at a disadvantage.

Yan Zhiyu and her team encountered this situation before.

It's not a big problem, but we still need to be careful.

"Can the water of the Burial Soul River become a carrier of consciousness? Quickly, get some river water to study it." Upon hearing this, a group of researchers' eyes lit up.

Wang Wu nodded: "It's not really a secret, it's just that you haven't come into contact with it yet."

I reckon the thirteenth will go to fetch water later tonight. You guys can do some research then. Oh, and the river water is still…”

Then he went on to describe the characteristics of the river water.

The concern is that researchers might not be paying attention to this in their daily work, and if they start doing it directly, it would be a great injustice if there are any deaths or injuries.

"We all know that, we just haven't seen it before," a group of people immediately chimed in.

Although they are researchers, to be honest, not many people like them.

This time, I did it because I felt that Meng Shisan had had a tough time, so I wanted to do what I could.

However, upon hearing about the wonders of the river, their eyes lit up.
