Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1098 - 444: Zhao Kai and Old Ma’s Results (2)

Subsequently, reports from the others poured in successively.

"At the Meishan military base, centered around Yunquan Temple, we've set up a structured management zone, and our population has surpassed one thousand."

"Our intention is to organize a speed dating gathering next month aimed at singles, tackling the issue of solitude."

"Encourage them to root themselves swiftly in Yangshan, building a deep 'home' connection with the place."

"Through this, they'll seamlessly blend into Yangshan, truly becoming members of our community."

...

Zhao Kai's key responsibility in Meishan revolves around preparing the new arrivals.

The team under Li Qinghua, once they emerged, has now fully merged into the expansive Yangshan collective.

Li Qinghua has even begun establishing a factory.

Afterward, within the vast influx of individuals retrieved by Liang Yuan from Sunshine New City and Kangjia Garden, a significant portion consisted of females and youngsters.

These arrivals were directed to the military base for brief training sessions and orientation.

Throughout this phase, Zhao Kai brought in Granny Li, an experienced figure from the old neighborhood committee, to assist with counseling these women, urging them to select a companion in Yangshan promptly and secure their futures.

As a seasoned hand in the neighborhood committee, Granny Li excels at such interpersonal tasks.

She rapidly linked up with relevant departments to advance this initiative.

At present, the event is slated to kick off at the start of next month.

Liang Yuan couldn't suppress a chuckle upon hearing this.

"What a brilliant notion—only with a sense of stability can Yangshan expand rapidly."

"Stage the speed dating in the Sunshine District; Yang Mei, work with the departments to clear out the Sunshine District."

"Yet, one rule stands firm: Zhao Kai, ensure everything remains voluntary—no forcing anyone to join, got it?"

Zhao Kai responded with gravity, "I get it."

He fully grasped Liang Yuan's apprehensions, given that the majority of these women were everyday folks with minimal defenses.

Liang Yuan feared that these women might be coerced into the speed dating against their preferences.

That said, Zhao Kai knew the realities facing these women.

Today, they are regular survivors struggling to accumulate Points.

This isn't the pre-apocalypse world any longer; the days when women could shoulder half the burden are gone.

Amid the Great Flood era, individual fighting prowess has been vastly amplified.

Women inherently face drawbacks here, an unavoidable truth.

In particular, this batch of women has endured severe hardships from the catastrophe.

For them, linking up with a dependable man for safeguarding is something they're eager to embrace.

Based on the feedback Zhao Kai got from Granny Li, the bulk of these women are keen to join the speed dating.

That fact alone reveals their outlook.

In this current age, a woman lacking male protection truly struggles to endure.

Unless she herself possesses formidable Superpower User abilities.

Then, worries vanish.

Granny Li interjected suddenly, "One concern stands out—in Yangshan right now, the male-to-female ratio is off-kilter, with males outnumbering females."

Zhao Kai pondered briefly before inquiring, "Perhaps we impose criteria for men's involvement?"

Granny Li replied, "That seems feasible; at minimum, they ought to possess some resources or the means to gain Points."

"How else can I justify this to these vulnerable young women?"

Zhao Kai turned to Liang Yuan with a seeking expression.

After a brief reflection, Liang Yuan approved with a nod, "Granny Li's point is valid—even if a man pairs up successfully, lacking the skill to acquire Points could hinder supporting a spouse."

"We'll set limits on men's holdings or their capacity to earn Points."

"Got it, Brother Liang."

Even during the end times, an unskilled man remains unlikely to secure a partner.

Liang Yuan doesn't disdain such men; it's simply the nature of reality.

The capable always gain the edge in mating choices.

Unlike before the apocalypse, at least now all start on equal footing.

Those ready to strive and battle have real prospects.

Liang Yuan hasn't confined the speed dating to Superpower Users alone.

Ordinary folks who toil diligently, like Hu Weimin's household—none awakened powers—still manage to gather Points and sustain their kin.

That's precisely why Liang Yuan emphasizes assets over superpowers in the restrictions.

A proficient man, superpower or not, can surely amass Points in Yangshan's secure setting through sheer effort.

Chances abound for everyone, but without personal initiative, aid is futile.

As Zhao Kai wrapped up his briefing, the unmarried men in attendance sparked with enthusiasm.

The Great Flood claimed most of their loved ones, leaving them unable to tolerate extended isolation.

Yet Yangshan's regulations prevent any wild actions.

Confronted with this prospect, plenty swiftly showed keen interest.

Notably, the women Liang Yuan rescued—if Lai Zhiyong's group could target them for capture, they must hold some appeal.

Thus, the general eagerness comes as no surprise.

With Zhao Kai's presentation nearing its end, Old Ma stepped up to detail the recent accomplishments.

Over the days Liang Yuan was absent, Old Ma overhauled the Sunshine District, fortified Lingyun Slope, advanced Li Qinghua's paper mill, and spearheaded the buildup of Meishan's Yunquan Temple as a militarized outpost.

Moreover, fresh towering structures have risen in the compound's valley, with levels built flush against the rock faces, featuring numerous dwellings around 60 square meters each.

As Yangshan's populace swells, available land grows ever tighter.

Presently, private home construction in Yangshan is forbidden; applications for housing must go through the building authority, Points payment required, with assignments scaled to household numbers.

This method maximizes land utilization.

Earlier informal dwellings hold certain perks, and owners can later petition the building department to upgrade them into apartment blocks for leasing.

Such measures reward the pioneers who contributed early.

Cave-carved residences, however, can't alter their forms.

Still, expansions to their interiors will face strict bans.

Owing to Old Ma's awakening of the Earth Attribute Superpower, he's firmly secured his role leading the construction engineering unit.

He's now enlisted numerous Strength-type Superpower Users under his banner, wielding substantial authority.

Thus, backed by top figures like Yang Mei, Ding Yan, and Zhao Kai, plus favorable policies for Shelter veterans, this building overhaul met virtually no pushback and progressed seamlessly.

Indeed, in the period of Liang Yuan's absence, Yangshan's most profound transformations have centered on these construction shifts.
