Establishment of the Care Center

Some people brought their parents into the shelter.

Most of them were in their fifties or sixties, not too old, not too young.

They definitely couldn't do heavy labor.

But if they could get into the factory, it would be relatively easy and safe, and they could earn more points!

"We girls can work too!"

"Long live Mr. Li! I'll go back and tell my parents about this later."

This news was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the residents.

The elderly and women at home wouldn't have to risk going outside.

At the same time, the men who joined the Resident Combat Team no longer had worries.

Even if they encountered danger outside, their families could continue to earn points in the shelter's factory.

"Next is about the Resident Combat Team."

Li Chen smiled slightly and continued to explain.

"Unlike the shelter's own Combat Team, the Resident Combat Team focuses on collecting supplies. You can think of it as the second line of defense for the Star-Level Shelter."

"Crystal Cores obtained outside of missions do not need to be handed over and can be exchanged for points."

Hearing this, some strong men became excited.

The Resident Combat Team sounded dangerous, but it wasn't actually that risky.

And not having to hand over Crystal Cores obtained outside of missions meant an extra income!

However...

"Mr. Li, I have a question."

A woman raised her hand.

She was wearing a training suit, her body lines taut.

It wasn't hard to see she was a muscular woman.

Li Chen clicked his tongue.

He didn't expect there to be a female bodybuilder in the shelter?

One should know that women's body fat percentage is naturally higher than men's.

To build such impressive muscles would take dozens of times more effort than for a man.

However, Li Chen didn't stare at her but casually said, "What's the question?"

"My name is Xu Ruoxi, and I used to be in the special forces. I should meet the requirements for the Resident Combat Team."

"However, my mother is blind. My father used to take care of her, but unfortunately, he passed away during this virus outbreak. Only my mother and I escaped."

"If I join the Resident Combat Team, when I'm out on missions, can someone help take care of my mother?"

Xu Ruoxi's words fell.

Only then did everyone notice that beside her sat an old woman around sixty years old.

Her hair was white, and she leaned on a blind person's cane.

The old woman reached out and touched Xu Ruoxi's shoulder.

She said emotionally, "Ruoxi, don't worry about me."

The old woman knew that she had become a burden to her daughter.

"Mom, don't say that. Dad told me to take good care of you for him."

Xu Ruoxi held the old woman's hand back and shook her head.

This question made many people prick up their ears.

They wanted to hear how Li Chen would answer.

Everyone has children and parents.

Children were fine; they could attend school in the shelter.

But those elderly people who couldn't take care of themselves became a problem.

They had to go out to work and fight, while still worrying about their families.

It was the apocalypse now.

If they were outside, survivors would never have such a problem.

Because the cruel struggle for survival made it impossible for the elderly and children to survive at all.

But it was different in the Star-Level Shelter.

Li Chen didn't claim to be a saint.

But he still highly recognized the goodness of human nature.

In an environment like the apocalypse, people who were still willing to bring their children and the elderly to survive.

Their nature must be pure and kind!

"Everyone, rest assured, in addition to the school for minors, the shelter will also set up a Care Center."

"We will invite the most professional caregivers to provide care."

"When you go out on missions or training, you only need to pay a certain amount of points, and your family can enjoy the most comprehensive care at the Care Center."

"When you come back to rest, you can also take them home to be together."

"Moreover, the monthly salary for the Resident Combat Team is a guaranteed 6000 points, and there will be additional commissions based on the difficulty of the mission and so on."

After Li Chen finished speaking.

The elderly people present immediately shed tears.

In the cruel apocalypse.

Who knows how many people, for their own selfish reasons, abandoned their elderly parents?

Even those who still had a conscience and were unwilling to abandon them would be forced to make a choice under pressure from all sides.

Now it's good. The Care Center of the Star-Level Shelter has given the elderly a way to live.

Besides the elderly, everyone else was also deeply moved.

Li Chen's initiative let them know that as long as they worked hard in the shelter, even when they got old in the future, they would have someone to rely on and be taken care of!

"That's great, thank you, Mr. Li!"

"I'll go sign up for the Resident Combat Team right away. I will definitely give my all for the Star-Level Shelter until my dying breath!"

Xu Ruoxi laughed heartily.

Li Chen proposed a total of three measures.

The explanation now is still relatively general.

More detailed aspects will need to be improved later.

After this dinner, the hearts of the shelter residents were completely settled.

At least everyone knew that the Star-Level Shelter was very humane.

From three-year-old children to eighty-year-old elderly, everyone had a place to belong.

Most importantly, everyone would have stable jobs to earn points.

Li Chen returned to the Command Center.

He tapped his fingers on the desktop twice and said, "Adam, pull up Xu Ruoxi's personal file and personality palette."

"Retrieving data..."

"Xu Ruoxi, female, 29 years old, native of Donghai City. Enlisted at 17 through high school recruitment, specially recruited into the Lone Wolf Special Forces Group at 18."

"Awarded 6 first-class merits, 2 second-class merits, and 11 third-class merits. Retired and transferred at 28 due to psychological trauma."

"Calm, demanding of herself, and very filial."

What does 6 first-class merits mean?

Third-class merit is earned through hard work, second-class merit through blood and sweat, and first-class merit is exchanged with life!

It can be said that these merits were earned by Xu Ruoxi through countless life-and-death situations.

Li Chen looked at Xu Ruoxi's photo in surprise.

He simply couldn't believe that this was an achievement a woman could accomplish.

For Li Chen,

Someone like Xu Ruoxi was the perfect candidate for the Resident Combat Team in his mind.

Capable and with attachments.

But on the file, what did "psychological trauma" mean?

"Noah, search for the reason behind Xu Ruoxi's psychological trauma at age 28."

Li Chen immediately ordered.

However, the omnipotent Noah had no answer this time.

"Reporting, Commander. Current data only shows that Xu Ruoxi underwent psychological counseling after executing a Red Sea Mission. She then retired. There is no further information."

Noah's answer surprised Li Chen again.

But Li Chen quickly figured out the key point.

Psychological counseling is confidential.

Moreover, for a talent like Xu Ruoxi, confidentiality was even more crucial.

There were no recordings or file records during the counseling session.

Naturally, Noah couldn't find anything.

As for what the trauma was...

As long as it didn't affect the mission, Li Chen wasn't a nosy person.

"Immediately arrange a key talent residence for Xu Ruoxi and her mother," Li Chen said immediately. "And notify the management team to establish a Care Center as soon as possible and properly settle Xu Ruoxi's mother."

"Include Xu Ruoxi as a key observation target. I need to know what she eats, what she says, and what she does every day!"

"Yes!"

Noah answered crisply and decisively.
