A base with 800,000 people?
Wang Tao was quite surprised. He had originally thought this was a medium-sized base, and that having tens of thousands of people would already be impressive. He had not expected it to be a massive Survivor Base with 800,000 people! This was an unexpected delight. The more survivors there were, the better it was for humanity as a whole.
As for Red Maple Base claiming that "their base was the only human settlement in the world, and their residents were the last humans," that was understandable. For one thing, it gave people a sense that the base should be cherished. For another, they truly had not discovered any other survivor bases. Wang Tao himself had once wondered, in the beginning, whether everyone else in the world had died except for him...
In any case, it was a wonderful thing that such a large survivor base had survived until now. He would have to inform Long River Base later. Maybe they could arrange for some people to come and exchange visits or something...
Wang Tao asked Zhan Liang for more information about Red Maple Base and gained a general understanding of the place.
Simply put, it was very similar to both Red Maple Base and Long River Base. It had been built by the authorities and was managed by the military.
However, Red Maple Base did not have as many soldiers as Long River Base. Unlike Long River Base, which had the Six Army Corps, they only had one military faction. But it was a fully staffed regular force, far stronger than the military at Silver Snake Base.
Thus, the military held considerable power within Red Maple Base. Things like city defense, law enforcement, and the Resources Department were all controlled by the military.
Of course,
