As the time was almost up, Lin Chao left the military camp. Outside, a modified military vehicle was parked, and Officer Xiao Song jumped down from the car with a smile on his face, saying: "General Lin, I'm here to pick you up."

  Lin Chaoyang smiled slightly and asked, "Where's Old Chu?"

  "He's maintaining order on the rostrum." Little Song smiled and said, "Get in the car, it should be starting soon."

  Lin Chao nodded and stepped onto the bus.

  The green military vehicle slowly drove away, and after a few minutes, it arrived on the streets near the central base. The thick snow on the side of the road had been cleared clean, and a large number of soldiers stood like spears, stretching straight along the street. Behind these soldiers, a large number of refugees gathered to watch the excitement.

  On the spacious streets, officers with school-level medals on their shoulders can be seen walking towards the central base from time to time.

  Plum blossoms floated down from both sides of the building, as if welcoming a triumphant hero returning home.

  In the midst of despair, suffering and cold apocalypse, such a festive scene, like a cup of warm tea, stirred up the emotions of many refugees. The gloom that had been suppressed in their hearts seemed to be lifted by a ray of sunshine.

  The bugle sounded loudly on the rooftop.

  Tanks slowly drove down the spacious streets, with wooden frames nailed to the top of several tanks, displaying the corpses of the dead, letting the refugees watch with tears in their eyes.

  Lin Chao sat in the car, the window open, and saw the excited faces of refugees. He was calm, but a few emotions surged in his heart. This commander was indeed worthy of being a commander, grasping opportunities far beyond ordinary people. With just one piece of news about evolutionary energy, he could easily dismantle Commander He's power without firing a shot. If it were an ordinary person, even with such a strong hand and powerful force, they would still end up causing infighting, tearing apart the hard-won human sanctuary in the post-apocalyptic world...

  The vehicle arrived at the central base, Lin Chao raised his head to look around, and saw a piece of flowers falling all over, on the red carpet laid out in the square, a large number of school officers and generals were lined up neatly and straight under the podium.

  On the other side of the lecture hall stands another indispensable institution in the base, the Research Institute.

  The lab coats were as white as snow, with over a hundred researchers standing in unison, each one eagerly awaiting. In front of them stood an elderly man in his seventies, thin and bespectacled, wearing the same long gown as Lin Chao, his spirit lifted high as he gazed up at the podium.

  Lin Chaoren guessed in his heart that this should be the famous President of the Research Institute, Guo Qianhua.

  Under the stage, Chu Shanhe, like a bodyguard, saw Lin Chao getting off the car and immediately lit up his eyes, quickly welcoming him. His actions immediately caught the attention of other researchers and school officials, as well as the generals present. When they saw that the big shot Commander Xu was going to welcome was actually a young man they had never seen before, who looked too young, they couldn't help but be shocked and puzzled.

  However, many people immediately noticed the clothes on Lin Chao's body.

  Vice President?

  Everyone was shocked and almost doubted their own eyesight, a young man in his early twenties, actually wore the clothes that only the deputy director of the research institute had the qualifications to wear?

  Lin Chao's appointment was only known to a few high-ranking officials closest to Commander Xu, and most people were still reeling from the shocking news of Commander He's expulsion. They hadn't even noticed this, but now they all stared with wide eyes, as if trying to see through every bone in Lin Chao's body, wondering what kind of divine being this young man was.

  "Is everything settled?" Lin Chao said as he walked.

  Chu Shanhe smiled and said, "It's necessary."

  Lin Chaodao: "Kill him?"

  "No, he's being held captive," Chu Shanhe said with a smile. "Commander Xu has softened and can't bring himself to do it."

  Lin Chao nodded and didn't say anything more.

  Chu Shanhe brought him to the forefront of the high-level officials from both the Military Department and the Research Institute, letting him stand in a central position, alongside the Director of the Research Institute and several high-ranking generals from the Military Department.

  Lin Chao's expression was calm and collected, without a hint of tension, his hands clasped behind his back as he waited quietly.

  The military and research institute personnel looked at his back, pointing and whispering to each other, their eyes filled with curiosity. Only a few people looked at Lin Chao's gaze, full of respect. Others didn't know the inside story, but they knew that it was because of this young man's great discovery that Commander Xu was able to control the base, and that humanity was able to possess the power to contend with the rotten corpses. Such a great person would surely leave his name in history, as long as the spark did not go out, it would burn forever in people's hearts!

  The dawn broke through the clouds and shone over, on the clock tower behind the square, the minute hand slowly moved from eleven to twelve, like a historic bell ringing, the entire base fell silent.

  Commander Xu slowly ascended the high podium under the escort of several people.

  Everyone looked up at this historic moment.

  "Hello everyone, I am Xu Jianguo." Commander Xu's voice was low and powerful, like a lion that had just awakened. His warm eyes scanned the square as he spoke into the microphone: "From today on, this base will be officially established and named... Yan Huang Base!"

  "As descendants of the Yan and Huang Emperors, I hope everyone can unite as one..."

  Lin Chao listened quietly, in the environment of later generations, people had no chance to read books, recognize words, understand history, many things were passed down by word of mouth from the elderly, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false. However, at this moment, he witnessed with his own eyes a magnificent scene of humanity over a hundred years ago.

  The first base in Asia will be established today!

  Humanity has entered the Base Era and entered a long, cold, chaotic Dark Age.

  Commander Xu's speech was so passionate that it made most of the people present feel their blood boiling. After naming the base and drawing a line, there was also a part where they showed off the base's military strength.

  A large number of fighter jets and helicopters are galloping in the sky, whizzing by.

  Tank after tank lined up in two columns on the street, moving slowly.

  The wild horn sounded in coordination with the armed forces, soon igniting the passion of all refugees, letting them see hope for life and regain confidence and courage to live on.

  After the display of military might was over, Commander Xu began announcing the appointments of officials at the Yan Huang Base one by one.

  "Kwok Chin-wah, come out!"

  "I appoint you as the Dean of Scientific Research, in charge of all major and minor matters of the institute. The first goal is to crack the virus, and rescue humanity from the brink of disaster as soon as possible. Are you willing to accept?"

  "Accepted! I swear loyalty unto death to humanity!"

  "Alright, fall in."

  "Guo Qianhua, engaged in scientific research for 63 years, main achievements include..."

  After mentioning most of Guo Qianhua's achievements, Commander Xu continued to nominate other generals or deputy directors of the Academy of Sciences.

  After half an hour, all the research personnel above the director level and the military personnel above the school level were finally sealed off. These people had smiles all over their faces, as long as the base was not destroyed, they could continue to live a very comfortable life.

  "Finally, I announce a very special, great contributor to humanity!" Commander Xu's voice paused for a moment, focusing everyone's attention.

  "Human contributor?"

  "What contribution?"

  All military officers and research institute personnel were somewhat puzzled, wondering if it was a military achievement or a scientific accomplishment.
