Chapter 107: Busy Farming in the Last Days

The middle-aged man’s behavior was quickly stopped by the soldiers in the base, and they brought all three people back to the office for investigation and processing. The verdict was that the middle-aged man had no right to interfere with the romantic relationship of two adults.

In the following days, students from various small bases were gradually brought to the main base, and the start of the new semester also marked the beginning of other work in the base.

On a morning in early March, at eight o’clock, the announcement speakers in all the bases simultaneously came on, and the voice of Liang Jincheng was heard.

All the bases within the jurisdiction of the S Base heard his voice at the same time.

“I am Liang Jincheng, and what I am going to announce next is the work arrangement for the new year in the base.

1. Strengthen the security construction of the base, and focus on security patrols in the external area.

2. Gradually open up free trade.

3. Expand recruitment for the food and processing factories…

He read out the big picture and small details for more than ten minutes. During this period, anyone who could hear it was all ears to the sound.

Then Liang Jincheng’s voice stopped abruptly, and another voice inserted itself.

“What we are about to announce is a new policy. All adults, under the premise of mutual consent, can register and obtain a marriage certificate at the 306 office on the third floor of the comprehensive affairs building in the base,” Ji Cha paused here and added, “There are no restrictions on gender for marriage registration.”

No gender restrictions? The members of the base who heard this were a little surprised, what does that mean?

Regardless of the surprise of the people below, after reading this announcement, the speaker went silent, and a moment later, with a beep, the speaker was also cut off, indicating that the announcement had been completed.

Compared to the policy changes in Liang Jincheng’s speech, most people feel that the bigger news is about Ji Cha.

Many pre-apocalypse systems have been completely overturned by now, and although there are tens of thousands of people in the base, there are very few couples who were together before the apocalypse. Most of them were separated during the process of fleeing. As for lovers, there are quite a few, but they lack security, and many of them just live together temporarily, switching partners frequently.

Even so, there are still some people who genuinely want to stay together and build a future. When they heard this news, they were overjoyed. Among them, there is also a special group, which is same-sex couples.

Before the apocalypse, Country C did not pass a law legalizing same-sex marriage, and the overall social attitude towards same-sex couples was quite discriminatory and dismissive. When they arrived at the base after going through hardships, they did not expect to be recognized and accepted.

But no one expected the base to suddenly issue a notice that seems to be inclusive of same-sex couples.

Because of this, someone went to the comprehensive affairs building that afternoon to inquire about it, and the answer they received was even more shocking.

The base indeed does not exclude same-sex couples, and they can also obtain a marriage certificate. In addition, there is a notice posted at the office entrance stating that people who come to obtain marriage certificates in the first month can buy the base’s own candy at half price.

With such an accurate answer, many same-sex couples immediately couldn’t contain their excitement and wanted to obtain their certificates, but they were told to wait because there was another couple taking pictures ahead of them.

The crowd waited patiently, but they were all startled when the couple came out.

Perhaps there are still many people in the base who do not know Ji Cha, but there is no one in the base who does not know Liang Jincheng.

Ji Cha and Liang Jincheng walked out from behind the curtain, which could possibly be explained as a work inspection by the leaders, but what’s with them holding hands? Everyone was stunned.

The real bombshell came after that. They sat down at the office staff’s desk, reported their names and the numbers on their information cards, and became the first couple in the base to get married under the number 001.

Although there were still many members in the base who were hesitant, after Ji Cha and Liang Jincheng set an example, the marriage registration office suddenly saw a surge in couples registering to get married.

For Ji Cha and Liang Jincheng, getting married was simply a guarantee for both parties, and nothing had really changed between them. But for outsiders, this was a shocking revelation.

Liang Jincheng was the biggest diamond bachelor in the base, not to mention handsome and charming. More importantly, he was now the highest authority figure in the entire S base and also the captain of the supernatural ability team. Many people were eager to help him fix his single status, and even wanted to personally take action.

Who would have thought that such a powerful figure was gay?

As for Ji Cha, he managed the farm and was in charge of many other related industries in the base, providing food and necessities for everyone. The changes in the base over the past year were astounding, especially in terms of the food. Everyone praised him for it.

The fact that these two people were a couple was a huge surprise to everyone. Even those who had initially opposed the policy of same-sex marriage suddenly became silent when they saw that the leaders themselves had set the example.

All in all, marriage is a happy event. Many people still adhere to the customs of the pre-apocalyptic era and are willing to celebrate at this time. As the farm gradually opened up for personal buying and selling, many people were even willing to buy vegetables and cook a small feast to celebrate. As a result, the first month after the policy was announced was a lively one in the base.

In contrast, the people in T base, including Feng Xing, were completely restless.

The children who came from other bases to study didn’t have weekly breaks, but rather studied for a month and then had a week off, with transportation provided by their respective bases. When the children from T base returned to their base, they immediately told their families about the situation in S base.

Not only did the people in S base live and eat well, but the base itself was almost no different from the pre-apocalyptic era. However, what really struck the children from T base was not the local students of S base, but rather those who had struggled to survive in bases even younger than theirs were living better than they were.

“Just because they’ve been taken in by S Base now, they can eat, drink, and live better than us. Our T Base could crush ten of them small bases before, but now we can only envy them. Who made them part of S Base now?”

“Eating meat every day. My desk mate doesn’t like fatty meat. Even when he eats braised pork, he has to chew the fat. Who among us can choose to be picky like it?”

The children were holding their breath, not because they were being treated unfairly by S Base. After all, lunch and other things were all self-funded projects. The more money you spend, the better you eat. What the children from T Base couldn’t accept was that even the bases that used to be poor and struggling, and even begged T Base for help before, were now doing better than them.

Suddenly, a wave of resentment swept through T Base.

Feng Xing and Ke Chenglei were also worried. Who wouldn’t want to live a relaxed and comfortable life?

Finally, after several meetings, T Base made a decision. Feng Xing and Ke Chenglei got on a car heading to S Base, preparing to discuss the matter of merging with the base.

By the time Feng Xing and Ke Chenglei arrived, it was already noon. Before they even entered Liang Jincheng’s office, they were taken to the cafeteria for a meal. This made them realize that what the students had said about life at S Base compared to T Base was not an exaggeration.

Liang Jincheng had already anticipated their visit, so he calmly received them.

“Merger is good. After all, there is strength in numbers, and everyone needs to support each other to develop. I just don’t know if you have any conditions regarding the merger?” Liang Jincheng sat calmly on the sofa and asked Feng Xing and Ke Chenglei.

They were already the weaker party seeking help. What other conditions could they ask for?

Feng Xing said, “We don’t have any requirements on our side. We don’t know what treatment the base can give us?”

This was another thing that Liang Jincheng had anticipated.

He spoke up, “Once you merge, the title of T base will no longer exist, and you will all be part of S base. T base will be renamed as Zone T of S base, which will still be under your responsibility. In addition, we will send some personnel to help with the management, and the development and changes of each sector will be determined by the main base. At the same time, the resources and living conditions for residents of each sector will be the same as those of the main base.”

This was already a much better deal than what Feng Hang and Ke Chenglei had expected. They didn’t hesitate and agreed immediately.

Feng Hang and Ke Chenglei hurried back to T base, but this time they were filled with hope. Along with the S base personnel, several trucks of fresh supplies had also arrived at the now-renamed Zone T. From now on, the overall resources and living conditions of Zone T would be provided by the main base.
