I'm the Villainess in the Apocalypse-Chapter 517. Discussion with Uncle Darien

Dylan heard his grandfather’s words and nodded.

He seemed to understand that Old Master Daniels didn’t want to go out to hunt those big mutated animals. Anyway, Uncle Darien could do it and their family didn’t seem to lack any contribution points at all.

If they ever wanted to trade for more big mutated animals’ meat, they could do so easily.

There were more than enough big mutated animals’ meat for the time being because of the attack from the big mutated animals not long ago.

After all, the death big mutated animals’ corpses were gathered. Those that couldn’t be eaten had long been buried in the soil to be used as nutrients for plants. Those that can be eaten has their meat separated to be processed.

Even though what Davis Family did was really despicable and might end in the base’s destruction, but at the same time, they sent countless big mutated animals to their death’s door.

In a way, it was also a contribution.

But this contribution came with a lot of dangers. As if these big mutated animals were too powerful, the one who died wouldn’t be the big mutated animals but them.

"The research institute has already announced the matter of the extremely large mutated animal?" Old Master Daniels asked.

Uncle Darien shook his head. "The extremely large mutated animal’s parts have only been sent there. They’re expressing their regret for the extremely large mutated animal was incomplete, so we’re thinking of expanding the base and also the research institute."

Dylan was surprised and then asked, "Do you have enough materials?"

For the base, what they needed the most was not the contribution points because the amount that flowed to the market was controlled by them. But the most important thing was the materials that couldn’t be procured from anywhere else.

In order for them to expand the base and to make more buildings, it was inevitable for them to get more materials.

As for what materials it was, it would depend on what they wanted to make.

"There are already a new batch of materials coming in," Uncle Darien replied. "The factory is more or less done, but the manpower is a bit lacking."

The construction work from some time ago was not only to expand the base but also to create several factories to produce the parts that the base needed. There were several factories and Uncle Darien has been quite busy to maintain it.

Thankfully, he had also recruited some people who were quite trustworthy during this period of time.

Only in this way would he be able to manage a larger power.

The other families were gathering their power, so Uncle Darien was also doing something similar and built his own power. After all, it was not only the big mutated animals they had to face in this world but also the schemes of humans behind them.

It was annoying, but it was also the truth.

"Manpower is lacking?" Dylan was surprised.

He thought that with City A Base was getting bigger, it would be that the manpower was too much that there were not enough job to do.

After all, before this, the construction work was being coveted by many people.

"After the factory was built, how many people do you think we’ll need?" Uncle Darien passed a look at Dylan. "We can’t really use robots and so on because the resources needed to be used would be too much."

They needed to conserve energy generated through the water and electricity. Even though City A Base had already expanded and many parts of City A were already taken away by them, but it was far from enough.

In order for the factory to operate well, they needed a lot of manpower.

When Dylan and Anna were going to hunt the extremely large mutated animal, two factories were finished one after another, so Uncle Darien was busy.

Even if they were facing the threat of the big mutated animals, they couldn’t forget the essential in the base.

After all, the lives of many people depended on the base itself.

Uncle Darien also had to consider them and made sure that they were all living well in City A Base.

"A lot," Dylan said. "But City A Base has a lot of people, right?"

"Not as many as you think." Uncle Darien shook his head. "The job in the factory paid even less compared to the construction job. The only difference is that it’s a permanent position and as long as you’re accepted, you have to always work there."

Dylan nodded.

The construction work was more or less a job that required them to sign up in the morning before they started going. Those who have been working for a long time would be selected again and didn’t have to go through this process.

But there were also many temporary workers.

This temporary worker pay was still higher than the factory because they had to finish a lot of construction.

Some people were still competing for the small spot of the temporary worker.

But many of them had also chosen to go to the factory work. Even if the pay was not as good, but at the very least they didn’t have to compete for place.

A few contribution points might not be much.

But in the long term, it would definitely make a difference.

It was just that they couldn’t think too much. For many of them, the most important thing was to get enough to eat.

"There would be another factory done in a few days and after census, the number of worker might eventually not be enough," Uncle Darien said helplessly.

It was not like he was overthinking it, but even if there were still many people who didn’t have work in City A Base, they could still earn some contribution points through other tricks.

There were even those who chose to go out bravely to scavenge for resources in order to get contribution points.
