This is the fourth year after the apocalypse. The monsters have evolved and become more powerful. They are no longer disturbed by sounds and can quickly find humans' hiding places with just their sensitive sense of smell.
This means that humans can no longer live alone. The only way they can do this is to join survival bases in various places to avoid sudden attacks from monsters and continue to survive in the apocalypse.
However, the monsters have become more and more aggressive in recent days, and there have been several large and small monster siege incidents in each base.
Except for the Southern Survival Base, which had the best protection and the strongest people, the other bases had a very tragic experience in fighting against monsters and suffered serious losses.
Humans and monsters are like natural enemies in nature, and only one of them can survive.
The existence of a complete evolution potion might be able to break humanity's current predicament and stop it from being in a passive position. No wonder the lords of the other three bases were willing to make this attempt.
However, regarding Mingyue's message about giving away potion formulas for free, the lords of the three bases judged others by their own experience and actually did not believe that such a good thing would happen.
After all, according to their thinking, if they had this kind of potion in their hands, they would definitely not be willing to hand it over to other bases to enhance the strength of other bases.
When they came this time, they had actually already prepared themselves mentally for Mingyue Lion to ask for a high price, and were also ready to bargain.
After the Western Lord asked the question, Mingyue, who was sitting on the upper seat, smiled slightly and said, "Since you are willing to come to the Southern Survival Base, you must have tested the effect of the Complete Evolution Potion, right? Yes, I am willing to give you the formula for free, but I also have a small request."
Hearing this, the three lords breathed a sigh of relief, as if the time had finally come.
There is no free lunch in the world. Rather than Mingyue giving away the recipe for free, they would rather she ask for it, so that they can feel more at ease.
Lord Dongfang spoke first: "Lord Zhou, please speak."
Mingyue's eyes were firm, the corners of her lips were raised, and she said in a resounding voice: "I require all humans in your base to take the complete evolution potion. Please listen carefully, everyone, everyone who is still alive in the world."
The other three lords were stunned. They never expected that her request would be this.
For a moment, they subconsciously thought of a lot of bad things.
For example, if there is something wrong with the potion, she wants to use it to eliminate the people in other bases, or control them, or weaken their strength.
For example, she wanted all humans to know that it was her credit that they could become stronger, so that the people in other bases would be in Cao's camp but their hearts would be with Han.
For example, this potion has side effects, or is addictive, and one must stay in the southern base to recover.
The three lords looked solemn and hesitant, and they were unable to make up their minds.
Professor Feng, who was sitting in the conference room and listening, couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw this. She said that Zhou Mingyue must be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. She actually wanted to favor everyone without considering whether others appreciated it or not.
After a long while, perhaps realizing that the atmosphere was not right, the Northern Lord coughed lightly and took the initiative to speak: "Although I know it is a bit inappropriate, I still want to ask Lord Zhou why he did this?"
Lord Dongfang also nodded: "This concerns the entire base population, so we have to be cautious. I hope Lord Zhou will forgive me."
Although the Western Lord did not speak, the expression on his face clearly showed that he agreed with the other Lords' opinions. Their behavior was actually within Mingyue's expectations.
Mingyue straightened her back, raised her chin slightly, and said very seriously: "Since the end of the world, too many compatriots have died. They either died at the hands of monsters or at the hands of fellow humans. And I don't want to see such scenes again. So I require everyone to take the complete evolution potion, so that everyone can become strong, and only the strong can have the ability to protect themselves and resist."
She did not require other bases to achieve equality for all like the Southern Survival Base and maintain the same laws and regulations as before the end of the world.
Because this would undoubtedly affect the interests of other lords, and they would not agree to others interfering with their bases.
However, as long as everyone becomes strong, equality will naturally be achieved. Moreover, with the example of the Southern Base, people in other bases will certainly think of learning the rules of the Southern Base.
In a word, although the processes are different, as long as they lead to the same destination, it’s fine.
However, the three lords did not know what Mingyue was thinking or wishing. At this moment, they could not help but be shocked by Mingyue's righteousness. They were inexplicably ashamed in their hearts, thinking that they were judging others by their own standards.
The Northern Lord sighed deeply and said with great shame, "I am a few decades older than Lord Zhou, but I am totally inferior to him in insight and generosity. I am really ashamed."
Mingyue said calmly, "So what do you guys think?"
The Northern Lord immediately slammed the table and decided: "If it is really as Lord Zhou said, then our Northern Survival Base agrees."
The other two lords looked at each other and nodded.
If what Mingyue said was true, then they would not suffer any loss no matter how you look at it, because the powerful ones are the people in their base anyway.
Of course, we must be on guard against others. After getting the formula, they will definitely go through various experiments and tests. After making sure there are no problems, they will mass-produce it for the public to take.
This gathering of lords came quickly and dispersed quickly.
After the negotiations, the three lords took the formula for the complete evolution potion and rushed back to their respective territories without stopping.
While various bases began to research the formula for the complete evolution potion, the people in the southern base had already begun to expand their living space. They no longer hid in the base, but began to move towards where the monsters gathered. This time they became hunters.
Compared to monsters that evolve by drinking small amounts of toxins from the river, humans who drink the complete evolution potion one-on-one are naturally stronger.
What's more, there are no novices in the Southern Base. Even ordinary people in the past will undergo various survival training after joining the base and will go out to hunt monsters.
Now that everyone has acquired superpowers, it is like adding wings to a tiger, and it is even easier to kill monsters.
As the people in the Southern Survival Base became stronger and stronger, human life seemed to have returned to the past, except that they had changed from working to killing monsters.
Maybe because life has gotten better, there are many happy events in the base, some people fall in love with each other and get married, and some have babies.
