This time, Lin Xiling would certainly threaten Chen Taiyuan and still demand the same exchange conditions - Suzuki Butterfly, plus a thousand infectious versions of C viruses, and complete enhanced warrior cultivation technology.

Chen Taiyuan couldn't agree. It was not that he didn't want to agree, but that the matter was so public that all humans refused.

"We recognize the achievements of the head wolf and are willing to use Suzuki butterflycloth to exchange prisoners, but why do we have to use more C viruses and strengthen the warrior's technology?"

"Yes, this is equivalent to greatly enhancing the power of the National Alliance, and we will never agree! And once this hole is torn open, what should we do in the future? Every time we are captured, we will help the other party create thousands of vampires and give the other party a complete set of technology? That's amazing. The other party just needs to catch a few of us and exhaust the entire human resources!"

"Yes, new laws must be enacted and no one can be allowed to do things by personal feelings, which will ruin all mankind!"

"Yes, the era of Base City is here. This is a new era. We have a new social order and a new way of survival, and naturally we also need a new legal system to match. Corresponding clauses must be issued immediately to prohibit the enemy camp from committing any form of blackmail on us!"

Although it seems a bit indifferent as far as the head wolf incident is concerned, these theories are correct and are also to maintain the survival and development of all mankind. Otherwise, every time a prisoner is exchanged, there will be thousands of dark warriors for the other party. Why would that be a problem? Should humans still live?

Exchange is also possible, this is for humanitarian reasons, but exchange should be reasonable.

Of course, there are many other aspects that need to be re-formed and improved. The exchange of prisoners was first put on the agenda, and after discussions from the capital, basic regulations were made. Of course, it may be further improved in the future. At present, it is temporarily implemented in accordance with this standard.

The two sides exchanged combatants and captives in the fighter were in accordance with the principle of equal strength, the Qin level vs. the Qin level and the Han level vs. the Han level; at the same time, one Qin level is equal to five Han levels, and one Han level is equal to three Tang levels (because the Qin level is too scarce);

According to the rank classification standards, the base city commander or army commander of the human camp corresponds to the second-level members of the new human organization, and also to the "national lord" of the National Alliance (Suzuki Butyi, Miyamoto Keno and now Shen Yuexian, etc.). These people are directly responsible to the highest level of their respective camps, so they are classified as the same level.

According to the degree of importance, although personnel like Liang Xue and Yuan Qing are not very strong, they are equal to the other party's king or second-level position. They either have mastered 99 games or mastered large-scale experimental institutions, and their weight is enough.

There are more detailed categories down the road, which are nothing more than supplements to the main clauses, such as the bonus system of personal importance, the bonus system of contribution value, reputation and social influence bonus system... and so on.

In short, through this series of systems, a person's "value" can almost be quantified!

For example, the highest score is 100, the head wolf is worth 75 points, while the Suzuki Butterfly Yi is worth 50 points, and a Han-level strongman is worth 12 points. Then, you can basically use Suzuki Butterfly Yi to add two Han-level dark captives to exchange for the head wolf.

As for personal pleasure, for example, Chen Taiyuan insists on agreeing to the other party to add more weight to the exchange wolf. OK, but the official will no longer issue these exchange prisoners for you. You can find a way to solve the additional conditions you agree to, and the premise is that you must never infringe on the interests of all mankind.

How can it be considered "infringing on all mankind"? This needs to be submitted to a top-level office for specific analysis and evaluation.

In short, the situation is so serious and harsh. However, the advantage of this is to publicly tell Lin Xiling or the ancestor - don't want to use the feelings of someone in the human camp to blackmail. It's useless. We have special regulations here.

This method seems a bit rigid and ruthless, but it is actually very necessary and provides later generations with standards to follow.

Not to mention, once formal legal provisions were formed, Lin Xiling also knew that this threatening method would not work. So after communicating with Chen Taiyuan, she promised that the human camp could exchange it with Suzuki butterfly and two captured vampire family members.

It sounds like her requirements are relatively high, but considering that the head wolf is not only a Qin-level master, but also an official supernatural hero with a strong social influence, the official agreed to the exchange after research.

What the official did not know was that in order to facilitate this exchange, Chen Taiyuan secretly agreed to Lin Xiling to attach a thousand bags of cold blood.

You should know that blood is already in short supply in human society, so in the areas controlled by the Military-Political Alliance, of course, it is even more in short supply. After all, there are fewer humans there, while there are many vampires. Therefore, these thousand bags of blood can provide the Military-Political Alliance headquarters with a period of "blood food".

Of course, since Chen Taiyuan agreed privately, Chen Taiyuan needed to raise the price privately, and the blood bank reserves of hospitals or scientific research institutions were not allowed to be used. So he had to collect paid blood donations in society. Any blood donor could get two kilograms of rice in return. In this era, two kilograms of rice was also quite expensive, and Chen Taiyuan lost two tons of rice in an instant!

The exchange time is set for half a month, and the handover location is outside a base city in the south. Outside that base city, it can directly connect to the Southeast Asian island country, not far from the headquarters of the National Alliance. As for half a month, it is because Chen Taiyuan needs someone to escort the vampire captives and also needs to complete a thousand blood donations. Although two kilograms of rice are tempting, everyone is also worried that the blood itself will lose its nutrition, so the enthusiasm for donating blood is not very high.

Of course, the lack of enthusiasm makes fresh blood more and more scarce. Many people did not expect that "blood" will become more and more expensive after the wasteland period is established.

...

Thirteen days after the head wolf was captured, the city of Leize Base City.

The blood has been collected, Suzuki Butterfly and the vampire captive have also been detained. Chen Taiyuan is about to conduct an exchange, but he has to take the opportunity to investigate the location of Lin Xiling's headquarters.

He left early tomorrow morning, and this evening he came to conduct an inspection before leaving.

Walking slowly on the long city, Jian Wu and Xiaofen accompanied him. Liang Xue and Yuan Qing were in the laboratory. It is said that the research on the big mouse was at a critical moment.

The afterglow of the sunset shone over, and the three of them were covered with a layer of golden light, solemn and warm.

How wonderful it would be if the world was as peaceful and peaceful as it is today.

In the city, the living order of more than 20 million citizens has gradually gotten on the right track. However, the supplies must be getting more and more tight, and the whole society is maintained on the "food and clothing line" that can barely eat and wear. The food and clothing line is the most basic standard for measuring the living conditions of a base city. Among the 49 base cities, 32 can reach the food and clothing line.

There are 13 base cities that implement the "hard ration system" down the road, but they have at least reached the "survival line".

As for the last four remaining ones, they need key relief and are on the verge of "collapse line".

Life is so difficult, Lei Ze is already considered good. The overall economic situation and social order assessment ranks twelfth in total, which is a relatively ideal ranking, and the sense of happiness in life is already very strong.

As for the outside of the city, it is an increasingly dilapidated abandoned land. It was originally a suburb of the city, but after several battles and large-scale cleaning and transportation, it has become more and more like ruins. Of course, if it goes further, it is a more deserted area. The weeds will surely occupy the abandoned farmland, and the abandoned small cities are destined to become as mottled and vicissitudes like cultural monuments in the wind and rain.

This is the difference between the human world and hell. The dividing line between the two is the city wall under Chen Taiyuan's feet.

At this moment, the large iron gate under the city wall slowly closed, and it was necessary to isolate the world from hell in the dark. In fact, when the iron gate opened during the day, there were also trenches, horse-rejecting horses and wire mesh as buffers, and soldiers with guns and live ammunition guarding. The tight defense made the contrast between inside and outside the city more distinct.

"The wasteland period has been completely finalized." Chen Taiyuan sighed in response to Yuhui, "The construction of the base city is just a hardware finalization. What really makes the wasteland period fixed is the formation of some software such as new ways of survival, new social order, new legal terms, new ethical values. Starting from the "Interim Regulations on the Exchange of Captives", it means that this heavy era has completely replaced the beautiful past."

"What's wrong with you today? What's the emotion?" Xiaofen twitched his pretty little nose.

Chen Taiyuan smiled: "I am a philosophy teacher, have you forgotten? Philosophers like to examine the changes of the times with rational eyes."

"Come on, you..." Xiaofen smiled. The first time he met this teacher who was almost the same age was in the city under his feet. At that time, he fooled people as a philosophy teacher. "What you said makes sense. Now it is a completely fixed wasteland period. However, I am not as pessimistic as you."

Oh? Chen Taiyuan looked at this girl who was always dizzy, but her heart was always full of light.

Xiaofen shook his fist in the golden afterglow and grinned: "If you look to the light, you will definitely get light. Tomorrow may be more miserable than yesterday, but as long as we work hard, we will definitely get better the day after tomorrow, for sure!"

Chen Taiyuan's heart was touched. Many times, Xiaofen is actually his teacher, and this girl always infects others with her cheerfulness and optimism. Xiaofen is a bit blind and optimistic, and sometimes she is emotional and idealistic, but isn't this the scariest quality for people to survive in difficult times?

As long as your heart is towards light, you will definitely get light. Similarly, as long as you have hope, you will definitely grasp hope.
