When Jiamin said this, his expression was somewhat strange.
Ye Zhongming had told him in the early morning that after the defense battle ended, all those who had been scratched by mutated creatures should be controlled and bound together.
In reality, everyone understood that without the immunity potion, even a small scratch meant death.
However, executing this decision faced significant resistance.
Just imagine, these people had just fought and bled to defend the base, and in the blink of an eye, they were to become prisoners. Anyone would feel indignant and even rebel against it.
During the implementation of this decision, a considerable commotion broke out, but fortunately, it was quickly quelled due to the intervention of the evolvers.
Still, the base became somewhat unstable because of this decision.
Ye Zhongming opened his eyes and slowly stood up, saying, "We must do this for the safety of the base. If someone mutates inside the base, we won't even need the outside corpses to attack; we'll descend into chaos ourselves. Therefore, we must control the injured."
"But they are brave people. At least they dared to fight against the zombies, while the majority only hide at home, trembling in fear! This isn't fair!"
An ordinary person who had performed well and gained recognition felt some empathy. Although he wasn't injured, he might face the same fate in the future, which inevitably stirred some emotions within him.
"Then what do you suggest? Let them mutate?"
Faced with the question, the man sighed and lowered his head. He was merely venting his feelings; in fact, he didn't even know what to do.
"If we don't tie them up, we’ll have to drive them out of the base. They will mutate and join the zombie army to attack the place they once defended! Is that fair?!"
Ye Zhongming walked to the center of the room and continued to look at Jiamin, "Some of these people have relatives. After they mutate, we’ll take the magic crystals and give them to their families. I believe they will be happy to see that they can create wealth for their loved ones after death. For those without relatives, we will gather the magic crystals, spin the wheel and distribute the evolution potions to those who fought with me today and to those who performed well during the daytime defense battle."
Jiamin nodded, knowing this was the best approach. It could appease the family's grievances and increase the base's income.
"Post a notice in the base. I need a thousand people to follow me out of the city tomorrow. They will all receive food and water, and their families will receive corresponding treatment. Those who perform well can even be given evolution potions."
After Ye Zhongming gave his orders and saw Jiamin nodding in agreement, a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm just teaching you how to manage a base. Don't worry, I won’t be a tyrant here. This will be yours in the future, but while I'm here, I call the shots." He pulled something from his pocket and threw it into Jiamin's arms, then left with his team.
The remaining people in the room looked at the object in Jiamin's embrace with envy.
It was a bottle of evolution potion, a ticket to the gates of paradise.

"Boss, isn't this place good? Why do we have to leave?"
Walking on the road outside, Little Tiger scratched his head, not understanding why Ye Zhongming wanted to abandon this already secured base.
The others also didn’t understand and turned to Ye Zhongming, seeking answers.
Here there was a wheel, not only a grade one wheel but also a grade two wheel. With time, it would be enough for all team members to become two-star evolvers.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming had gained absolute control here. No force in the base could oppose him; he could do whatever he wanted.
In other words, he was the king here, able to do many things according to his wishes, having absolute power, and could utilize the resources of this base to grow rapidly.
