Seraphina Sullivan thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I have no objections."
"Good."
Gordon Chandler nodded. "As for the specifics, someone will be assigned to coordinate with you shortly.
As for other matters..."
His gaze fell upon Paul Payne, who was still lost in grief, and then shifted to Justin Brooks and Wesley Moore as he spoke with pointed meaning.
"First, get settled and rest up.
Some problems can’t be solved overnight, but... there’s always a way."
He didn’t say it outright, but Justin Brooks and the others understood his unspoken meaning.
Connor Webb’s case might have deep-reaching implications, but it wasn’t being ignored, and bringing him down wasn’t entirely out of the question.
Gordon Chandler’s arrival and his words were like a reassuring balm, temporarily dispelling some of the gloom in the tent.
But for Seraphina Sullivan, the potential threat of Connor Webb, along with the twisted power and the faction behind him he represented, was now laid bare before her.
Soon, a plan for the herd of Four Seasons Deer that Flora Sullivan had tamed was finalized, and Gordon Chandler personally informed Seraphina Sullivan of the details.
The herd would be kept in an enclosure on the west side of the Central Base’s "Ground-Level Work Area."
It was a specially designated area known as the "Mutated Creature Adaptation, Observation, and Breeding Base."
The environment there was relatively open, with dedicated quarantine fences, a steady supply of feed, and veterinary care. The conditions were even better than Seraphina Sullivan had anticipated.
In exchange, the Central Base would receive partial research rights and priority requisition rights for the herd.
This applied, of course, to when they were needed for tasks such as transport or reconnaissance.
And Flora Sullivan would be the one to lead them.
After all, the Four Seasons Deer Alpha listened to no one besides Flora Sullivan and Seraphina Sullivan.
In return, Flora Sullivan would gain the right to freely visit the herd within the base and command them to a certain degree.
Furthermore, due to her status as a special talent—the master of the Four Seasons Deer—she received preferential treatment regarding her living supply rations.
This outcome was well within Seraphina Sullivan’s range of acceptance.
It solved the problem of housing the herd.
It also gave Flora Sullivan’s Ability a degree of official recognition.
It meant they had finally gained a preliminary foothold in the Central Base.
During the time it took to handle the paperwork and wait for the arrangements to be made,
Seraphina Sullivan, through a combination of Laura Lowell’s explanations and her own observations, had gained a clearer understanding of the Central Base’s three major zones.
She learned that the core of the massive "Super Underground Area" wasn’t built entirely through manual excavation.
Instead, it originated from a special item that a Player had brought back from a high-difficulty instance after a near-death struggle.
A special item.
[Dungeon: Evolvable].
Once activated, this core had expanded at an astonishing rate deep underground at a designated location. It had built a structurally complex and fully equipped subterranean space, complete with its own self-sustaining ecosystem and defense systems.
As long as all sorts of construction materials and resources were continuously poured into it,
the Dungeon item would continue to grow.
It was an incredibly rare and powerful item.
The Dungeon now had an extremely high capacity, enough to shelter over a hundred million people.
Furthermore, it possessed an extremely strong ability to insulate and defend against all kinds of extreme surface disasters, like frigid cold, acid rain, and scorching heat,
making it the prototype for an ideal apocalyptic Shelter.
