Xu Qian was naturally aware of the inside story. That "small gift" was merely a cookie laced with the rep vaccine.
The rep vaccine had been tested a week prior and was safe for use.
The first batch of female prisoners who received the vaccine had already given birth. Their pregnancies, lasting three months, had been thoroughly examined by professional instruments, and their children were indistinguishable from normal individuals.
Once they consumed these cookies, within three months, countless newborns would arrive in the Tang Family Base.
Subsequently, the Tang Family Base would enact child-rearing regulations, with the base providing free upbringing for children until they turned 18. Mothers would receive living subsidies, with larger families earning more.
Children could even be entrusted directly to the base for upbringing, with their parents free to visit. Of course, not visiting was also an option; as long as the child was born, subsidies would be provided.
Xu Qian was utterly impressed by Tang Zhishen's audacious maneuver. Was this the joy of the wealthy?
Undeniably, the Tang Family Base was the wealthiest among the three major bases.
The svt vaccine was openly sold, with no quantity limits. Its price had dropped significantly, but...
It remained very expensive.
The Tang Family Base had also developed a new product: an aphrodisiac suppressant pill. Its official name was not that, but it was colloquially referred to as the "Clear Heart Pill."
This Clear Heart Pill had been available for public purchase two months ago. Its price was neither cheap nor expensive.
In any case, it was affordable for everyone, so no one would go bankrupt buying it.
The other two bases were practically scrambling for the Clear Heart Pill.
In short, the Tang Family Base was now incredibly wealthy and had no shortage of funds.
There was another matter. A month ago, Guan Weiyun had kept his promise and called Tang Zhishen in advance to arrange for her pickup. However, he was later appeased with 500 doses of svt vaccine and 1000 Clear Heart Pills by Tang Zhishen.
This bought Xu Qian another three months.
When Tang Zhishen delivered this news, she found it unbelievable and even checked her favorability.
It hadn't decreased; instead, it had increased by 1 point.
Xu Qian: ???
Guan Weiyun, the workaholic, was truly incorrigible.
As for the words Huai Feichi had left her, they were indeed giving her a headache.
Currently, all smaller bases were being integrated into larger ones due to the zombie hordes.
The Tang Family Base, Hope Base, and Bright Base had never ceased to be attacked by zombie hordes, with waves of varying sizes, causing immense frustration.
Xu Qian had gone out to meet the enemy several times, always led by Huai Feichi. Moreover, the internal situation of the Tang Family Base was also precarious.
Huai Feichi was inciting people to protest, specifically the subordinates of those imprisoned three months prior.
Those prisoners were all prominent figures, each owning their own companies with thousands of employees. Concentrated efforts to cause trouble were a significant issue, creating unrest.
Tang Zhishen had taken this opportunity to expose numerous traitors, and the X Group's remaining presence in the two Tang bases was systematically purged.
It was a complete falling out.
"A Qian."
As the voice sounded, the man's warm body heat clung to her back.
"Mhm?"
"Zhiyuan let something slip."
Xu Qian: ...
She wondered what it was that had slipped out: the secret kissing during his sleep, or the secret dates during his busy hours?
Xu Qian chuckled lightly and turned to face him.
Having just showered, her young face was flushed, her lips dewy and alluring, completely unlike...
"What did your dear brother let slip?"
The man's breathing quickened slightly, and he couldn't resist kissing her before speaking.
"He said you're a zombie."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow, having expected something more significant.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
