Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1593 Kill the Holy Mother First in the Apocalypse 31
After the other party paid with their life, the man's parents were naturally unhappy. They immediately felt that this base was bad. Before the apocalypse, domestic violence that resulted in the death of one's wife would not be punished with death. Now that it was the apocalypse, countless people committed murder and arson without any consequences. Their son only killed his wife and had to pay with his life. They felt that the control was too strict. Why did this base kill their son? So they hated the Jinxiu Base. With hatred in their hearts, they left the Jinxiu Base and took their grandson to other bases, thinking that the other bases were not so strict and would be better. As they went to other bases, they cursed the Jinxiu Base to be quickly overrun and destroyed by zombies.

As a result, the elderly couple complained that the Jinxiu Base was too strict, while other bases were less strict. They used supplies to ask someone to take them to a new, less strictly managed base. As soon as they arrived, their supplies were stolen. They were furious and asked the base who they could contact to catch the thief. The people at the base told them that no one would care about such a small matter. They said it was their own fault for not taking care of their own things. Now that they were lost, what could they do?

The elderly couple were dumbfounded. They knew that in the Jinxiu Base, a thief like this would definitely be found, the stolen goods returned to the person who was robbed, and then kicked out of the base. Why was no one taking care of him in this base?

Isn't that obvious? Isn't this exactly what they're looking for—loose control and complete freedom? Thieves naturally have the freedom to steal without being punished, which is exactly what they like. So why don't they like it now?

Like this elderly couple, those who, because of their own or their family members' misdeeds at the Jinxiu Base—whether expelled or resentful of its strict management and subsequent punishment of their offending family members—run off to other bases. Most of them end up regretting it. After all, they prefer lax management. Unless they are exceptionally powerful, going to such a base is fine; they can do whatever they want, be superior, and enjoy the thrill of looking down on those below. But for ordinary people from the lower classes, going to a laxly managed base is practically suicide. They would immediately become the prey of others, bullied and exploited. Those laxly managed bases operate on the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak. It's only because Jinxiu Base is strict that ordinary people can enjoy a sense of security.

Therefore, it is more suitable for wealthy and powerful people to go to bases with lax management, because they can do whatever they want without being punished. However, ordinary people are not suitable to go to bases with lax management, because they will suffer more.

Many people left Linlang's base and went to other bases, only to find that the less strictly managed bases weren't as good as they had imagined. They started to regret it, but by then it was too late. After all, they had already been kicked out of Linlang's base, or they resented the strict management of Linlang's base and ran away on their own. Now they were too embarrassed to go back, so they could only continue to stay in those bad bases and live a bad life.

Besides handling numerous affairs both inside and outside the base, Linlang also sometimes needs to deal with some romantic entanglements.

Space ability users, especially those with vast spatial abilities capable of storing large amounts of resources, are obviously very attractive in this post-apocalyptic world. Even if the original owner of the ability is not bad-looking, or even just average-looking, they would probably become the target of many people's pursuit. Moreover, since the original owner is not bad-looking, it is even easier to attract a bunch of admirers.

Linlang didn't say that she would definitely reject all men. If she saw someone she liked, she wouldn't mind having a relationship with him, but she would definitely not let herself get involved with any bad men and bring herself into danger.

Linlang knew her own strength, but those around her didn't. As Linlang's base grew larger and larger, and she managed so many people, her power increased, and more and more men showed her favor. They were very worried, afraid that Linlang would be tricked by someone, and that not only would she get into trouble, but the base would also be in trouble. After all, Linlang was the owner of the base and was in charge of a large amount of supplies. If something happened to her, it wouldn't just be a matter of the base being affected.

So every time they see a man approaching Linlang and showing interest in her, they get very nervous.

They weren't trying to stop Linlang from having a partner—after all, that wasn't realistic—they were just worried she'd be deceived. Seeing their concern often made Linlang both laugh and cry. They treated her like a child, as if she were easily fooled. Did she really look that gullible? For example, recently, people from the military base had become close to Linlang, and they worried they might deceive her, especially that she might abandon Jinxiu Base, be lured by promises, and work for the military base instead of becoming its leader. Without Linlang's large storage space, managing the base alone wouldn't be safe at all.

Hearing their concerns, Linlang couldn't help but laugh and cry. She said, "Jinxiu is my base. How could I abandon my own base to go to someone else's base and become someone who needs to rely on others for protection? Am I the kind of person who's blinded by love?"

“What if they promise you very good terms? The military base is very powerful and secure. We’re afraid you might feel that our base isn’t safe enough and run off to a better one,” Zhang Min and the others said.

Linlang said, "Don't worry at all. First, I don't think our base is unsafe. Second, the military base is strong and secure. If I go there, I'll be more easily controlled. Although they may be good people and won't control me, you can't be too careful. I definitely have to be on guard against that. So, do you think I would go to the military base to be their warehouse keeper?"

Linlang was speaking from the heart, and Zhang Min and the others' concerns were not unfounded. The military base had indeed inquired about Linlang's intentions, asking if she wanted to come to the military base. They said that if she was worried about the people at Jinxiu Base, she could have all the people at Jinxiu Base move to the military base. Their area was in the suburbs and used to be a military camp, so it was a large place that could accommodate so many people.

They were clearly interested in Linlang's enormous storage space and genuinely wanted to bring her over to work as the base's warehouse keeper.

But Linlang definitely won't go.

Just like Linlang said, there are too many powerful people in the military base. She is afraid that if she goes there, she will be controlled by them and will lose her freedom. She will have to listen to them in everything she does. If she doesn't listen to them, she will be controlled and will not have the right to say "no".

She clearly didn't want to lose her personal freedom.

Although the people at the military base might be nice and wouldn't do that, she had to take that into account.

Moreover, Linlang's worries were not unfounded. Don't be fooled by how polite the people at the military base are to her now; that's because they are from two different families, and the military base needs Linlang's help. But if she merges Jinxiu Base into the military base and becomes one of them, it's hard to say whether they will still be so polite.
