Becoming a Level Four Base was the next goal for the City D Base, but not for now.
Justin Lawson knew that the current City D Base was not yet worthy of the title of a Level Four Base.
It seemed Ansel Warner hadn’t expected Justin Lawson to refuse, either.
In the end, however, he still stamped the official evaluation seal on the certificate for a Tier Three Base.
Myra Lawson held the certificate, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
When Nina Jacobs had come over the night before last, she had also asked for Nina’s opinion.
The City D Base wasn’t small in terms of its current survivor population or its size.
If she lobbied hard enough and made a firm commitment, they might have a shot at becoming a Level Four Base.
But Nina Jacobs didn’t quite agree after hearing her out.
Becoming a Level Four Base would bring more benefits, but it would also come with more responsibilities.
Level Four Bases had to constantly engage in exchanges and evaluations with surrounding bases, and even a few major ones. This didn’t seem to fit the base’s current developmental tone.
Nina Jacobs said that the City D Base still needed a period to lie low and build up its strength.
This coincided with Justin Lawson’s own thoughts.
"Congratulations."
Brendan Hart walked over. He looked at Myra Lawson, and the two exchanged a smile.
"Ahem, I hear your next stop is Falken Base?"
Seeing this, Heath Chandler deliberately asked in a loud voice.
Ansel Warner and Heath Chandler already knew each other. "What? Changed your mind? Planning to come with us?"
Originally, Heath Chandler was supposed to be their colleague.
Heath Chandler had gone to another base first for a mission but later submitted his resignation to headquarters.
To think he had actually stayed behind in the City D Base.
"...Not exactly."
Seeing that even Myra Lawson was looking at him, Heath Chandler was suddenly at a loss for how to respond.
’I just wish these people would leave sooner.’
’Especially Brendan Hart.’
"That kid at Falken Base is a crafty one. If Thorne hadn’t been unable to make it last time, we wouldn’t have to go this time."
Wystan Sullivan said, shaking his head.
In their view, it was only a matter of time before Falken Base was absorbed into the City D Base.
"But in that case, there’s no need for Landon to compete with Nina Jacobs anymore."
Nina Jacobs’s status as an Intermediate Superpower User was well-deserved.
After Wystan Sullivan spoke, Landon Hayes nodded as well. "I understand, Mr. Sullivan."
Although it was a bit of a pity, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
...
Chelsea Walsh’s vacation was nearing its end.
Before she left, Nina Jacobs gave her some medicine that was said to be able to treat leg injuries.
"Just apply these poultices for seven consecutive days. And these are nutritional supplements that will help your bones recover."
Nina Jacobs only said that these were leftover medicines from when Wayne Warner was injured, but in reality, the poultices had been soaked in the system’s Healing Potion.
"Thank you, Nina Jacobs."
Chelsea Walsh was deeply moved. Vera Coleman even had Walsh make a lot of food for her to take back.
This family was like a real family to the two siblings.
"Next time I go to the Weapons Research Institute to see Brother Forrest Walsh, you have to pull some strings and get me in."
Leo Hale didn’t forget to say.
He was also very curious about the Weapons Research Institute, but unauthorized personnel were not allowed.
"Don’t worry, leave it to me."
Chelsea Walsh waved goodbye to everyone. Vera Coleman’s eyes were already a little moist:
"In just a few short months, that child has learned to stand on her own two feet."
She still remembered the wretched state Chelsea Walsh was in when she first arrived at their home during the acid rain period.
Now, she had actually become a weapons researcher at the base.
"That’s right. The weapons the researchers have developed have already gained the base’s attention,
and they’ve played a significant role in killing zombies outside."
Daniel Hale added.
"Uncle Hale, there’s something I might need your help with."
After Chelsea Walsh left, Nina Jacobs took Daniel Hale to Building 72.
Trevor looked to be in better shape than he was yesterday.
Daniel Hale looked with some surprise at the tall man standing in the yard.
"This... This is?"
