Chapter 95: You're truly disgusting, you lowly maid! (Seeking continued readership)

Mingzhu Base was also a large base, but it only provided two meals a day, and the meal standard was just enough to keep people alive.

Everyone's appetite was different, and many people were enduring hunger.

Especially the sailors.

Due to their need to go to sea, many of them were heavy-set, ate a lot, and had high energy consumption.

But the supplies they received now were truly not enough to eat.

Furthermore, when there were too many people, evil forces would emerge, and some people's food even had to be handed over to those who committed evil.

Everyone longed for a job.

When they saw Lu Zheng casually summon a luxurious RV and over twenty people, everyone around confirmed one thing.

This was a big shot!

As long as they could gain his appreciation, they would definitely have food to eat.

Then, upon hearing these people announce that they would recruit a thousand sailors to serve this big shot, they were even more certain of the news.

High-ranking sailors would even receive crystals as a salary, and elite sailors could directly obtain second-order abilities!

Lin Huaqiang was resourceful.

To recruit enough high-ranking sailors and elite sailors, after recruiting ten ordinary sailors, he had them spread the recruitment news everywhere.

Then, for every ten people recruited, five would stay to maintain order, and five would go out to spread the news.

Soon, a captain with twenty years of experience, named Hai Dasheng, appeared.

He was forty-eight years old this year, from a fishing family, had been a captain for twenty years, and the largest ship he had commanded was a twenty-thousand-ton cruise ship.

This qualification met Lu Zheng's requirements very well.

However, this level of talent needed to be personally vetted by Lu Zheng, who would then make the final decision and grant him the status of an elite sailor.

In front of everyone, Lu Zheng took out a pile of crystals for him.

Hai Dasheng awakened the Water Blast ability, then advanced to the second order, becoming a second-order ability user.

Second-order ability users could be directly assigned to the base's ability combat team and receive excellent treatment.

This made many people very envious.

Lu Zheng was about to go back when a large-faced, thick-necked woman with a face full of freckles rushed to the front.

"Boss, I heard you're also recruiting beauties, and I am one."

"I'm Xiaomanman, a short video beauty streamer, with over five hundred thousand followers!"

"But if you want me to follow you, you'll have to give me at least one hundred second-order crystals as a betrothal gift, otherwise I won't feel secure."

Hearing these words, Lu Zheng was completely speechless.

How did such a stupid pig survive?

Lin Huaqiang was even more directly enraged, saying:

"Get lost! With your looks, how dare you come and disgust our boss!"

Xiaomanman, however, also became furious and shouted loudly.

"Are your dog eyes blind? You're truly disgusting!"

"My foundation is very good; if you turn on the beauty filter on your phone and activate the face-slimming feature, I'm a great beauty!"

Lu Zheng waved his hand.

"Stop arguing, drag her out and give her a beating, then continue working."

After speaking, he directly returned to the RV.

Inside the car, the maids Yun Yishan and Tian Wei, seeing him return, quickly had him lie down and continued to massage him.

Yun Yishan peeled a lychee, brought it to Lu Zheng's mouth, and then softly asked:

"Master, when are you going to Kyoto? My family is there, and when the time comes, I'd like to see them too."

On the other side, Tian Wei also quickly spoke up:

"Master, this maid's family is also in Kyoto, please let me go see them too?"

Among all of Lu Zheng's women, these two were the lowest-ranking maids.

Normally, they could only sit down to eat after serving everyone else their utensils.

But they had both once been the campus belles of Canglan University, goddesses adored by thousands.

Tian Wei was the vice president of the Canglan University Dance Association, and Yun Yishan was the vice president of the Canglan University Minor Languages Association.

They were both talented and held positions.

But now, they were incredibly humble, completely devoid of their former pride as campus belles and association presidents.

Of course, this state only appeared in front of Lu Zheng.

In front of others, as third-order ability users enjoying a life of luxury, they were still unapproachable figures.

Hearing the two's request, Lu Zheng nodded slightly.

"You two have performed well recently. Tomorrow I will go to Kyoto Base, and then I will take you to find your families."

Tian Wei and Yun Yishan had only asked with a 'just in case' attitude.

They both knew that their current life was already incredibly superior, and as maids, they were not qualified to make demands of their master.

They hadn't expected Lu Zheng to actually agree directly, and that he would be going to Kyoto Base tomorrow.

This filled both of them with immense surprise.

"Thank you, husband!"

The two exchanged glances, then together massaged Lu Zheng even more diligently, not missing a single spot.

The thousand-person recruitment drive was no small matter.

It quickly attracted the attention of the Mingzhu Base authorities.

A team of soldiers came over and questioned Lin Huaqiang, who then went to the RV door and reported to Lu Zheng.

"Boss, an officer from the base authorities named He Guanyu wishes to meet with you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng opened the door, stepped out of the car, took out two redwood chairs, and said to He Guanyu:

"Please sit, what would you like to know?"

He Guanyu was not surprised to see Lu Zheng's ability to conjure things out of thin air; after all, while spatial abilities were rare, in such a large base, there were always a few people who could acquire them.

Of course, such people were generally talents specifically protected by the base.

"Mr. Lu, we are very grateful that you can provide shelter and resources for these people."

"But we need to confirm that you will not cause them harm. May I ask if you can prove it?"

"For example, by clearly explaining the specific purpose of recruiting these people."

Lu Zheng smiled indifferently, saying:

"What other purpose could there be? I have a luxury cruise ship and a large amount of supplies. I want to get the cruise ship moving, have these people serve me, and let me enjoy life. What, is that not allowed?"

"My name is Lu Zheng, and I have connections and cooperation with the Chiefs of Zhongyang Prefecture's Lijian Base and Xifeng County's Xishan Base. You can verify my identity."

"I also have a base of tens of thousands of people myself, but the base is in Canglan City, and now I want to play on the sea for a while."

Everything he said was true.

But in the apocalypse, to still want to play on the sea, such a thing sounded incredibly bizarre no matter how you heard it.

"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment. I will report to my superiors and verify before coming back to inform you of the result."

He Guanyu stood up, walked to the side, picked up a satellite phone to report to Qiu Keqin, the Chief of Mingzhu Base. Two minutes later, he walked back with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, your identity has been confirmed."

"Our Chief Qiu invites you to a meeting. I wonder if you have time?"

Lu Zheng waved his hand.

"I still need to check if there are suitable sailors here."

"A meeting is not necessary. After I've recruited enough sailors, I'll invite Chief Qiu to dine on the ship later."

For him, the supplies provided by a base were not as important as a supply card provided by a beautiful woman.

But since the other party had already extended an olive branch, he would not refuse the goodwill.

At this moment, a figure squeezed through the crowd to the front, and with a thud, knelt before Lu Zheng.

"Ding! Survivor detected, scanning in progress."
