Zhao Youcheng took out a document from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Yu.
"These are the conditions proposed by those two bases. They've become even more unreasonable, proposing many demands."
Lin Yu flipped through it for a while, then slammed his palm heavily on the table.
These people were simply shameless. If it weren't for the people of Wuming City clearing out the surrounding zombies back then, where would they have the capital to live peacefully in the vicinity?
Now that they heard Wuming City was going to integrate the surrounding areas, they started to inflate their prices, positioning themselves as bargaining chips.
Not only did these people demand that Wuming City agree to absorb all their core personnel into Wuming City's establishment, but they even proposed that the leaders of the two bases should enter Wuming City's management, participating in its daily operations.
Ha, it was simply a pipe dream.
"Cut off contact with those two bases. From now on, anyone who has any material connections with those two bases, we will also sever our ties with them."
The locations of those two bases were very good. If they bypassed these two places and connected to other areas, high-rise structures would need to be erected, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty of future management.
Moreover, with these two bases sandwiched in between, it would be troublesome if the people from these two bases caused any trouble in the future.
"Bang bang bang..."
A series of knocks sounded from outside the door.
Lu Heng then walked in.
Seeing Lu Heng arrive, everyone in the room stood up.
"City Lord Lu."
"Brother Lu."
"Mm, sit down, everyone. Continue."
He had come out of the teleportation building when the people waiting outside his car told him that Lin Yu was looking for him.
He was then informed again at the entrance of the research center.
He guessed that Lin Yu must have an urgent matter to find him, otherwise, he wouldn't have sent two people to relay the message.
After finding out from the guard where Lin Yu had gone, he went directly to the management center.
As soon as he entered, he saw a room full of people.
Lin Yu nodded at Lu Heng, then gestured for everyone to sit down and continue their discussion.
It wasn't the first time Lu Heng had attended their meetings, so everyone wasn't nervous.
"Cut off their supply of materials. We also need to be careful and prevent them from causing too much trouble."
"Mm, but I don't think they can do much. If they cause trouble, we can't be blamed for taking action."
"Also, regarding the personnel arrangements in the other few shelters and bases, don't let them enter Wuming City for now. Arrange for them to go to the residential areas we initially planned."
"You also need to speed up the reinforcement of the outer walls of those residential areas. Don't let them feel that the treatment here is different from ours."
Ultimately, Wuming City was prepared to establish another team to incorporate all personnel who obeyed management.
However, these people would not be upgraded by Wuming City uniformly. To survive in the apocalypse, they would still need to rely on themselves.
Therefore, based on this alone, those who were originally incorporated into Wuming City felt grateful.
Coupled with the repeated screening by the Director and Lin Yu, the personnel currently in Wuming City's establishment were extremely loyal.
This meeting adjusted the details of the incorporation, transformation, and the surrounding survivor bases.
Lu Heng listened throughout, without interrupting.
Wuming City was now truly managed by these people. Lu Heng only intervened in special circumstances.
After everyone left, Lin Yu walked over and sat beside Lu Heng.
"Brother Lu, I looked for you because Sun Qiang was acting up again, but it didn't last long. I also personally checked the surroundings, and there were no aliens approaching."
"Oh, it should be because I brought an alien robot to the research center, so its reaction was a bit stronger."
Lu Heng thought it was probably Evan's doing.
But when he showed Lin Yu the robot last time, he didn't hear about Sun Qiang having any abnormalities.
Perhaps the robot was outside for too short a time, so it didn't react much?
"When you gave me those two robots last time, I didn't hear about Sun Qiang acting up either?" Lin Yu asked, slightly confused.
"I'm not sure for now."
"By the way, let me introduce you to the robot that made Sun Qiang agitated."
"What's there to introduce about a robot? What's different?" Lin Yu was puzzled.
"You'll know when you see it."
Lu Heng smiled mysteriously and summoned Evan from his space.
After leaving the research center, he had put Evan back into his space.
Their relationship wasn't stable yet, so Lu Heng still had to keep Evan in his space unless there was a special situation.
Evan didn't have any objections to this. It couldn't find any usable resources outside anyway.
Moreover, it found Lu Heng's space quite interesting. There were even a few areas that were somewhat similar to the spatial barriers created by the Senal aliens.
"This robot, isn't it the same as the nanny robot you gave me?"
Lin Yu looked at the robot that had just come out, not seeing any difference.
"I'm not like them. I have autonomous thinking."
As soon as Evan came out, it heard Lin Yu comparing it to those initial robots and immediately retorted.
"This, Brother Lu, what does it mean?"
Robots could communicate with humans, Lin Yu knew this, so he wasn't too surprised when Evan spoke.
"Let it explain to you."
Lu Heng changed his posture leisurely and looked at Evan.
Lu Heng had promised Evan some materials in the teleportation building earlier, and Evan was quite happy about it, so it was very cooperative with Lu Heng at the moment.
"Although my appearance is the same as those nanny robots, my processing unit has the ability to think autonomously. What I'm saying to you now is what I'm thinking, not a pre-programmed routine."
"So, you're more intelligent?"
"I'm not just more intelligent. I can modify more robotic products. Of course, I can also modify those robots to be like me, to become robots with autonomous thinking and emotions."
Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then his eyes widened. He looked at Evan incredulously, then turned to look at Lu Heng.
"Brother Lu, does it mean it's already a robot with 'life'?"
"Yes." Lu Heng looked at Evan. He was actually very curious how Evan had evolved from among the many robotic products to become an independent individual with emotions.
"Then will it be a threat to us..." Lin Yu didn't finish his sentence, but Lu Heng understood his meaning.
Lin Yu was probably influenced by science fiction movies. He was somewhat wary of such intelligent robots that had developed independent thinking abilities.
If these high-tech robots wanted to rule and occupy Blue Star, no matter how humans evolved, they would not be a match for the robots.
