YM778.TV Chapter 1115: Work, work, work...
It was pretty straightforward and intuitive so it wouldn\'t take a lot of time for the adjustments and whatnot to reflect after it was all made into different files.
And after some time, my radio buzzed and I discovered that it was Mitch calling me:
-
*bzzt*
[Any news on anything? Need any help?]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"We\'ve processed around a hundred people or so, we\'ll send them over to you guys shortly. What about you guys? Need any help? We literally have all the manpower here."
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[How many people are you gonna send over here?]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"Hmm~ At least 60-70% Both places still need a lot of work but lodging-wise, the Main Harbor can accommodate more people. We\'d keep at least 80% of them in the few days or so but we\'ll gradually send more depending on the circumstances."
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Good thing I made some of the people here clear dust-up this 3-star hotel.]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"The one by this admin building next to the villa?"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Yes, that one. It could accommodate 200 or so people but if any of them wanted to stay elsewhere, they gotta clean it up. In regards to food, fishing had never been this easy but we need everyone to have a balanced diet with fruits, veggies, and other types of animal products and meat.]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"We\'ll get to that. I can send over a bunch of fruiting bags and our tater boxes as I\'ve said last time but you gotta start with seedlings for the other ones. It\'ll take some time but it\'ll pay off later."
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[I really appreciate the help.]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"D\'you want me to send your wife and kids over too? The same as with your people there?"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[Hmm? Why?]
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
"If we do that, we could send more than a hundred people and you could easily fill up that hotel. They already have their checkup and info recorded too so it\'s just a minor adjustment on their part. You guys haven\'t been here for long. What do you think?"
*bzzt*
-
*bzzt*
[That\'ll be great. I\'ll tell the others.]
*bzzt*

With that said, we eventually ended the call to continue managing this place, and right now, we had a group of people that went past Building 34 to either get us some lumber, forage the mountains behind it for resources, or venture in to see what\'s on the other side.
These people were already cleared for work—and let me tell ya, Royo\'s warehouse of goodies was fucking overflowing with resources because the people we just welcomed to our fold had a lot of shit to trade.
In any case, Building 35 and 36 would be the extension of Building 34\'s storage space though Building 30-33 would be the storage area for lumber and other resources found in the wild. It would be mostly logs, branches, and twigs but dirt, clay, soil, and stone would be present as well.
But yeah, comparing this place to the Main Harbor, anyone else would prefer the latter to this one because it was like a pre-built PC that only needed a bit more work or none at all while the former with all its hangar-like buildings was a blank slate.
They\'d need a lot of work and imagination to be able to pull it off but one other comparison to take into account was that this place was fairly isolated while the Main Harbor was smack dab in the center of everything.
Granted they already cleared a spot that they could use to slowly increase their hold on the Main Harbor, but it needed a lot of work externally while this place needed a lot of work internally.
As of this moment, we were also repurposing some buildings into indoor vertical farms, a training center, an entertainment center, a proper workshop, and a much better communications area. Additionally, the roofs were free game at the moment so I already had a group make use of the extra space as additional farms.
\'Because who would decline some extra food?\'
But yeah, as more people were cleared to work, I had more people to order around so I then had several groups raid the areas we just drove by last time and clear those areas of the dead.
Major Harper and most importantly, Admiral Burke, had nothing bad to say when they gave me the reigns with their people but honestly, as good as I am doing this type of work and as much of a homebody as I was, I still had to go out with my group to venture to the area we skipped when we had to rush to this place.
Unfortunately, it was just a drag because it was just trees after trees or farms after farms, with a few smaller houses in between, and there was barely any action to go around.
But yeah, we stumbled upon a medium-sized gym with decent equipment right next to a place that had several trucks of construction materials, so we called it at that and went back with a good-ish haul.
However, while we were on the way back, I spotted this coconut tree that wouldn\'t get any swipes from a dating app due to its height.
It looked like it was about half-rotten but seeing this type of coconut tree brought a smile to my face.
"Hold up, I gotta check something real quick."
