Lin Yu had to guard against the people within the base as well. At this critical juncture, it was best not to cause any trouble.
Fortunately, the zombie within the base had been sent out. If the outsiders who came today were to find out about it, they would have some prejudice against Wuming City.
After all, in the apocalypse, they had never heard of any base daring to raise live zombies for research.
Soon, as noon approached, people began to visit Wuming City one after another.
The first to arrive was Zhao Kai from Pingcheng.
He came directly by helicopter and got off the plane with a smile the moment it landed.
"Hahaha, I'm finally back in Wuming City. This time, I'm going to stay for a few more days. The food here is much better than mine."
The reception staff also greeted Zhao Kai with smiles. Wuming City did not send any important figures to receive him just because he was the leader of a base.
For Wuming City, any registered member was probably of a higher level than ordinary base leaders.
Therefore, Wuming City did not specifically find someone of equal status to receive him.
"Hahaha, you must be Commander Zhao. Please follow me. There's a car over there to take you around the city first, or you can go directly to the conference room."
"It's fine, I think I'm here early. I'll look around first. Wuming City is interesting to explore. Ah, right, can we visit your trading hall?"
Zhao Kai glanced back at the inner city. At this moment, his helicopter was the only one there.
Even though Zhao Kai's Pingcheng had been incorporated by Wuming City, he was too busy to visit Wuming City often.
In the past, he would leave in a hurry after finishing his business. He had not been to many places in Wuming City.
"Yes, but there are many people there, you..."
"It's fine, it's livelier with more people. I'll just pretend to be there to exchange supplies. It's best not to attract too much attention."
Today, Zhao Kai was dressed very casually, unlike his usual military uniform in Pingcheng.
He had probably prepared to visit Wuming City in advance.
The reception staff smiled and said nothing more, leading Zhao Kai and his entourage into an off-road vehicle.
The car quickly left the inner city and headed towards the city.
After the car left, someone on a motorcycle informed the city's administrators that Zhao Kai had arrived in Wuming City and wanted to visit other places.
Lin Yu sat in his office, listening to the reports from his subordinates.
"Well, these places are open to the public. You can visit these areas. Since Zhao Kai said he wants to eat in Wuming City, arrange today's meals properly and add more meat dishes."
Being able to eat meat in the apocalypse was a luxury. Therefore, arranging more meat dishes for these people today should satisfy them.
Zhao Kai was directly led to the exchange hall by the reception staff. The place was crowded, and the lively scene could be seen even before entering.
Although Wuming City had not arranged for personnel to go out to deal with zombies today, the daily flow of people exchanging supplies in Wuming City had not stopped because of the upcoming meeting.
Supplies were too important for people in the apocalypse. Some people were already accustomed to exchanging supplies in Wuming City. If this were closed, even for a day, some people would likely not be able to adapt.
"Heh, there are so many people here. I guess some bases don't even have as many people as this."
Although Zhao Kai's words were a bit exaggerated, there were indeed quite a few people in this exchange center.
What was originally a small building was eventually expanded, connecting two nearby buildings.
The exchange center had separate areas for exchanging items, including areas for exchanging food, special supplies like gasoline, and even medicine.
Since Wuming City had improved medical equipment, the medicine in the city was no longer kept and was all given out for exchange by people from outside the city.
However, the treatment equipment was temporarily kept secret from the public and would not be sold to the public in the short term.
Lu Heng and his team had plans. As long as it involved items from aliens, they would only announce it to the public after developing an antidote for zombies.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say, but this is indeed one of the liveliest places in our city. Which area would you like to visit?"
"Let's look at the medicine section."
"Alright, please follow me."
Zhao Kai was led to the medicine exchange counter, where various medicines were quite complete.
Zhao Kai picked up some medicine to examine and pointed to the production date, saying, "These medicines are about to expire, aren't they?"
"No, time cannot be calculated like this. We will relabel the dates for the medicines sold here."
"This? Won't they still expire soon?"
"Well, how to explain it to you? We have items here that can guarantee the shelf life of products. Even fresh meat, if put in for a month and then taken out, will be as fresh as when it was just put in."
"Oh, I forgot."
Zhao Kai chuckled. He also had a storage ring given by Lu Heng, but he had forgotten about it for a moment.
Wuming City exchanged a large quantity of supplies daily. Without such storage rings, it would probably be impossible to guarantee the quality of the supplies.
The reception staff followed Zhao Kai's gaze to his hand. Not everyone in Wuming City could possess such a storage ring, but not having one did not mean they didn't know about it.
"You have one too."
"Yes, City Lord Lu gave it to me personally, hahaha..." Zhao Kai laughed heartily.
The reception staff couldn't help but respect Zhao Kai even more. The ring in Zhao Kai's hand was only equipped by the small captains of Wuming City and the personnel specifically responsible for distributing supplies.
Therefore, receiving a storage ring personally from City Lord Lu could only mean that this person had an unusual relationship with the leadership of Wuming City.
"Do you have any medicine you want to exchange? If you have any needs, you can go to the VIP room in the back, where dedicated personnel will receive you."
"Not at the moment, but our people occasionally come to exchange supplies. The capabilities of the Pingcheng personnel have also improved significantly, and the chance of injury when going out is lower."
"Hehehe, that's good. Shall we go visit some other places?"
"Okay."
Zhao Kai was very comfortable being taken care of by this reception staff in Wuming City. Along the way, the person explained the functions of various areas in detail to Zhao Kai.
He even took Zhao Kai to visit the bars and restaurants in the city.
Fortunately, Wuming City had prepared lunch for the attendees, so they did not dine out casually.
After the tour, Zhao Kai's face was full of smiles.
He once again felt that befriending Lu Heng was the most correct decision he had made in his life.
