The Bright Base is nowhere near as large as the Shendu, and this alternate base has a main road, known as the Central Avenue. In addition, four passages in the southeast, northwest and northwest are connected to it, forming a simple transportation network of Guangming Base.

At the same time, the base is divided into five areas.

The place where Lin Ci and them are located is the East District, which is the dormitory area of the base soldiers, staff, black horsemen, and Lin Ci. On the other hand, the western part is a concentration of civilians.

It is much more crowded than in the East Side, and the living environment is further reduced. As for the North Zone, it is a training place for black horses and soldiers, and there are several training grounds for black horses.

The laboratory of the base is located in the southern area, where the supporting facilities are not comparable to those of the gods, and the scale is only about one-third of the gods.

Finally, in the center of the base, is where the command center of Bright City is located. At the same time, it is also Su Jinwei's office.

In the past two days, Lin Ci has been to the Central District a lot, and sorted out a lot of documents and equipment for Su Jinwei in the Central District Building.

Now that the Bright Base is basically starting to operate normally, with the fuel supply from Shendu, the power generation facilities and water recycling system have solved the needs of people's lives, but this can only provide the most basic living conditions, and people need to make further efforts to live a better life.

In order to make the Guangming base develop as soon as possible, Su Jinwei plans to make a large-scale change to the membership structure of the base.

In the past few days when he came to the base, Lin Ci has seen and heard him and several management experts repeatedly discussing, planning to divide the base members into levels, and promulgate a set of points system to stimulate the enthusiasm of the base members, and try to make the base glow with the greatest vitality in a short period of time.

At that time, the personnel of the Guangming Base will be divided into different levels according to their contribution to the base. In the case of the Black Riders, they are ranked in the highest class because their contribution is irreplaceable. The second level is the R&D personnel, who are involved in the development of various fields, and they are the indispensable creativity of the base.

Further down are the soldiers, who are the maintainers of order at the base and a strong guarantor of the security of the base.

Underneath the soldiers, there are engineers, educators, search teams, producers, etc.

Each level has its own minimum number of points, which are then awarded according to the amount of work done in each calendar month.

Points can be exchanged for various resources, so if you want to get more, you have to work harder. In addition, the personnel of each class are not immutable, and the lower ranks can be promoted to the upper level through learning and training. Similarly, if the upper echelons don't work hard enough, or can't provide the appropriate service, they will be punished with demotion.

This is a large, sophisticated management system. At present, it is still being improved, even if you want to make a preliminary announcement, it will be ten days and a half months at the earliest.

So now the base of light is only managed simply, and the biggest task of soldiers and civilians at present is to open up farmland in the valley outside the base so that they can produce food for themselves.

Otherwise, the amount of food consumed by the members of the base in a day alone is an astronomical amount. Even if Su Jinwei had prepared before this, no matter how much grain was stored in the base, it would be difficult to supply it indefinitely.

Lin Xi and the others came to the western district where the civilians were.

The few grocery stores are the highlight of this West Street. Where there are people, there is business, and the role of a businessman, no matter when and where, will not be lacking, it is just a difference between the number and the number.

As early as the time of Shendu, there were such merchants. They buy extra food or supplies from soldiers and R&D personnel in the inner city at a lower price, and then sell it at a price that is generally accepted by the public to make the difference.

Su Jinwei turned a blind eye to this situation. As long as he did not take advantage of the fire, he did not object to the existence of commercial activities. In fact, the presence of businessmen has solved many problems for him, such as small-scale resource mobilization.

And it is only natural that these businessmen can gain more than ordinary people through their own minds.

After coming to the City of Light, those merchants used the goods they brought from the Shendu to open several grocery stores, and sold them at lower prices in the past, solving the urgent needs of many civilians in the Western District.

Since the cataclysm, Lin Ci and these people have not visited a store for a long time.

Aoi, who likes to shop.

"Look, I don't have anything expensive here, but it's easy to use. Look at this watch, I dare say the whole base now, I have it. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked loyal and honest, he shook a women's watch, and said to Twilight: "It can't be more appropriate with your temperament, Miss." ”

Twilight picks up this inferior watch, which she wouldn't have looked at in front of her eyes before, but she becomes interested and casually asks, "How to sell it, how much does it cost?" ”

The shopkeeper laughed: "Miss, what's the use of money. I'm basically bartering, bread, rice, as long as it's food. Tell me what to get in exchange, and I'll give you a price? ”

Kate, who was standing next to the door of the store, said to Lin Ci: "What's the use of a broken watch, you can't eat it." ”

"That's because you're a man, and women are completely different creatures from us."

At this time, Twilight turned around, put the watch on her hand and raised it towards Lin Xi, and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”

When Lin Ci replied to Twilight, Kate shook her head and looked out of the store, and suddenly saw a figure flashing into the opposite alley.

He suddenly shouted to Lin Ci, "I'll go away", and rushed out of the grocery store. His speed was so fast, and when the tail note was still ringing in Lin Ci's ears, his people had already crashed into the shadows of the alley. When Lin Ci turned around, Kate was long gone.

In this remote alley, there is hardly half a figure in sight. Since the site has only just been put into use, the alley is surprisingly clean and free of other clutter, despite the fact that there are two bins in the alley. Even in the garbage bins, there is very little garbage.

The alley is clear at a glance, at least Kate has no obstacles, and at a glance she can see the back of the speeding ahead.

"Wait!" Kate exclaimed, looking at the back of a woman, with long straight black hair coming to the back of her hips. Hearing the voice, the young woman who exuded a youthful aura immediately ran up, but she couldn't outrun the Shadow Species, let alone Kate, who had evolved to the fourth order.

In the blink of an eye, Kate narrowed the distance between the two.

When Kate stopped, the woman still didn't look back, and the wind and waves suddenly blew up her long hair, and then sprinkled it all over.

By the time she turned around, Kate had reached out and grabbed her shoulders and exclaimed excitedly, "Is that you?" Catherine, how did you end up here? ”

"Kate?" The girl finally came back to her senses, with an expression of disbelief on her face, "I'm not dreaming, you, how are you in the City of Light?" ”

The two asked similar questions, and Kate laughed and stepped back a little.

"Sure enough, it's you, Catherine. Do you know that I'm looking for you all over the world......" Kate hugged her, reached out and gently touched the top of her head and said, "No matter what, I finally saw you." In the future, let my brother take care of you. ”

But Catherine pushed it away, and the girl straightened her hair, "You still call me Lorna." ”

Kai nodded and said, "You have indeed grown up, I almost didn't recognize you just now." Where do you live now, or I'll find you a house in the East End, and you can move in. I have some friends who also live there, um, some female friends, and they would be happy to ......"

"Stop." Catherine stretched out a finger, gently lifted her glasses and said, "I'm glad to meet you here." Really, Kate. But don't worry about me if you haven't seen me, I'm alive and well now, stronger than ever. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, Catherine. How can this be true, I ......" Kate took a step forward and reached out to grab her sister's hand.

A flash of fire lit up his eyes, and Kate froze, then turned slightly sideways, dodging the fireball that had been thrown from Catherine's hand.

Orange fireballs slammed into the exterior wall of a room, sending out a wave of fire. Flames flew and confused Kate's eyes.

By the time he looked back, Catherine had jumped onto the roof of the room next to her. Standing on it, she glanced at Kate and turned away.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi's voice came from the entrance of the alley, he ran over, looked at the black wall in front of him, and raised his two sword eyebrows.

"I've met Catherine." Kate smiled bitterly: "But she doesn't seem to want to get along with me, so she left me." ”

"Catherine? Your sister? Lin Ci was surprised: "Why is she here, and the flame just now, she got it?" ”

Kay nodded.

Lin Ci said: "I haven't heard you say that Catherine is a Taiyi warrior. ”

"She shouldn't be a Taiyi warrior, she is estimated to have been transformed into a xenomorph. As far as I know, she didn't join, otherwise I would have known. ”

Lin Ci patted him on the shoulder and said, "You haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's inevitable that you will be unfamiliar." It may take a little for her to get used to it, anyway, she's in the base of light, as long as you don't leave, you have a chance to meet. Some things have to be done slowly. ”

Kate smiled bitterly and said, "That's all it takes, I hope she's okay." ”

The two of them came out of the alley, and the girls had already bought a number of gadgets. Because of Catherine's affairs, Kate didn't have the heart to wander around, so everyone left the West End and returned to their respective residences.

The next day, Lin Ci walked out of his single dormitory, and a black and white two-wheeled motorcycle stopped at the door. Huang Ying put a helmet painted with lightning patterns on the car, patted it, and said, "Look, this is given to you by the doctor, so that you can use it in the bright city." Do you like it? ”

Lin Ci turned around, stretched out his hand and touched all parts of the locomotive, nodded and said, "The gift is good." ”

"Of course, the Doctor personally scrubbed it yesterday and didn't let anyone else help him." Huang Ying said, and said, "By the way, the doctor asked you to see him today, as if he had something important to tell you." ”

"I see." Lin Ci put on his helmet, stepped on the locomotive, and asked, "Are you here too?" ”

"No, I'm going to the lab, there's another car to get around. I sent the car to you on purpose, and now that the car has been handed over to you, then my task is complete. Huang Ying smiled, and playfully gave a military salute to Lin Ci, and ran away with a smile.

Lin Ci pulled on the mask of the helmet and twisted the key, and suddenly the instrument in front of the car lit up with bright orange and yellow lights. He twisted the throttle, and the engine came out with a powerful sound, Lin Ci picked up the tripod, and as soon as he twisted the throttle, the locomotive roared and rushed out, speeding down the street towards Central Avenue.

Central District Building, 4 floors.

The elevator doors opened from both sides, and Lin Ci walked out. This building in the Central District is the heart of the Bright Base. On the first to third floors, there are the various management departments of the base. The fourth floor is the storage of important things, which is divided into multiple sections, and each area is heavily guarded.

The Kunlun jade disc is placed in a room on this floor, and the black horsemen take turns to be on duty every day. As for the top floor, that is, the fifth floor, is Su Jinwei's secret room.

Lin Ci came to the fourth floor, followed the instructions of the passage to one of the rooms, and after scanning through the palm prints and iris under the guidance of the guards, the automatic door of the room opened in front of Lin Ci's eyes.

Lin Ci walked into the door, there were still various cables on the ground that had not had time to be sorted out, and in the depths of the room, a cultivation trough was working.

In the cultivation tank, there is a sleeping Han Mengdie. She looked the same as before, except for her eyes closed. A staff member next to him was registering the various data displayed on the computer of the cultivation tank, and when he saw Lin Ci, he nodded and said, "Miss Han's life characteristics are very stable today. ”

"Thank you." Lin Ci said.

He smiled and walked away, leaving space for Lin Ci and Han Mengdie.

Lin Ci stretched out his hand and put it on the cold wall cover, looking at the girl floating in the nutrient solution inside, he said softly, "I'm sorry, Dream Butterfly." It's been a long time since I've come to see you. How are you doing? ”

"But Dream Butterfly, no matter how beautiful the dream is, it is always illusory. I wish you could wake up from your dream, but I'm sure you'll believe it, right? Lin Ci turned around and sat down against the cultivation tank, "You have always been so brave, and this time it will definitely not be difficult for you." And with me, with Kate, working together, you're going to wake up. ”

"By the way, Kate seems to have seen his sister yesterday. It's a little strange that she was actually in the light base, but why didn't she touch it in the god capital before. Perhaps, this is fate......"

Turning around, he reached out against the wall and said, "I have to go, Dad is still waiting for me." Bear with me, I won't let you soak in it for too long. ”

With that, he turned and left, his figure reflected in the wall. At this time, Han Mengdie, who was soaked in the nutrient solution, moved her fingers slightly.

Take the elevator to the top floor, as soon as the door opened, a young woman in a beige suit smiled and owed to Lin Ci, and said, "Mr. Lin, you are here." Dr. Su is waiting for you. ”
