Xiao Feng seems to have returned with quite a team! He organized the resources brought back from the Shelter No 1 efficiently, arranging food in the backyard warehouse while storing other items after categorization.
In the resturant lobby, the people with him looked around like visitors in a grand palace, astonished by the luxurious and clean resturant .
Everyone gathered, and Xiao Feng instructed Wang Qiang to present a list, allocating roles to these individuals based on their departments.
There were a total of 120 people joining the resturant. Among them, more than 30 were former chefs of the resturant, all with experience from star-rated establishments. Additionally, over 20 individuals were previously involved in resturant management, possessing exceptional expertise in running and managing resturants.
Xiao Feng made immediate changes, removing previous department managers and assigning these professionals to their respective specialized positions. The rest possessed various skills, such as plumbers, programmers, and advanced financial managers.
As for the previously assigned managers, Xiao Feng had a different plan. For instance, Grandpa Gao had been designated as the Logistics Department Manager, but now, with specialized talent available, this position was naturally replaced.
However, Xiao Feng had special arrangements for Grandpa Gao as well. Most of the resturant’s waitstaff and department managers were replaced by new hires. The remaining old employees were placed in another special department because they were all evolved individuals. Xiao Feng intended to leverage their abilities to assist various departments.
For instance, Gao Ye’s amplification ability was quite elegant. Xiao Feng established a department called the Mobile Unit, tasked with supporting various departments based on their individual abilities.
Once everything was arranged, only the scientific research personnel he had brought back remained.
"Bring them in!" Xiao Feng commanded coldly.
Everyone looked and saw that Professor Li was brought in tied up.
"What? Planning to take your research achievements to Shelter No 1 to gain favor?" Xiao Feng asked disdainfully from his seat.
"Let me tell you, even if Lu Zhenhua believes what you have is genuine, with one word from me, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn’t accept it!"
After searching Professor Li, Xiao Feng spoke emotionlessly, "Throw him out to feed the zombies!"
"No, please! Spare me! I’m the main force in this team. I can help you research the most advanced mechs!"
Professor Li begged in terror.
"Professor Liang, please save me! I’m your proudest student, please save me!"
But at this moment, nobody dared to speak up for him. Betrayal was a sore spot for everyone.
At this moment, anyone daring to stand up would undoubtedly face the same fate as Professor Li.
Looking at the remaining research personnel, Xiao Feng calmly said, "Since you’ve come back with me, you need to prove your value in surviving here!"
"I don’t force you to do anything specific, but you need to demonstrate your significance within this group!"
"You can choose not to research mechs or organisms; you can even work in the logistics department as a waiter. I have no objections."
"But one thing I want to make clear: here, rewards are based on merit. The more you contribute to the resturant, the greater the rewards."
"If you want to continue researching mechs or organisms, I can provide you with the necessary conditions. However, the prerequisite is that what you research must be beneficial to this resturant."
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, Professor Liang approached with the assistance of a student.
"Boss, we are willing to continue researching mechs here. For your resturant to thrive long-term, don’t you need robust security measures? Our mechs can provide effective security. Additionally, life-supporting mechs can replace waiters or even chefs!"
Hearing this, Xiao Feng nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, since that’s the case, I can provide you with favorable conditions, and I won’t force you into anything!"
Upon hearing this, Professor Liang and the others smiled with relief. The conditions offered by Xiao Feng were much better than what they experienced in the Shelter Alliance.
Just then, Professor Wen also walked over. Though they had only a dozen people, their research focus was on biological aspects, seemingly not providing any direct assistance to the resturant.
"Otherwise, we’ll go work as waiters!" Professor Wen sighed.
However, even working as waiters was far more comfortable than before. In the past, they worked day and night and often endured beatings.
"I’m curious about your research direction," Xiao Feng asked.
"The virus caused a complete upheaval in global life forms. Our research direction is how to hybridize and combine two different species!"
Professor Wen explained, "We observed that zombies have the ability to devour and evolve. We use this ability as a foundation, extract residual genes from zombies, and inject them into the bodies of mutated animals and plants. This allows them to potentially have the ability to devour and evolve as well. However, we’ve encountered a bottleneck in our research. We’ve found that genes from different species are inherently repulsive. So, our current direction is stuck in a dilemma."
"That Wu Lin asked you to research this, right? Did he want you to create a powerful force of bio-warriors similar to the ones in Shelter No 1?"
Xiao Feng immediately thought of the bio-warriors in Shelter No 1.
"Yes! But Wu Lin’s requirements are even more demanding!"
Professor Wen sighed, "Shelter No 1’s bio-warriors are synthesized from humans and zombies, but as we all know, human capabilities are limited. They are not as powerful as mutated beasts. Therefore, in terms of growth, they are inferior to synthetically created mutated beasts."
"Interesting! This is indeed interesting!"
Xiao Feng was immediately captivated by their research.
"Then, what do you say about the synthesized hybrid beasts, how do their meat quality differ from regular mutant beasts?"
"Are you referring to?"
Professor Wen asked in confusion.
"Such as the Razorback Mountain Goats and the Bloodfang Wild Boars that can be eaten now!"
"Of course, they can, and their growth cycle is significantly reduced!"
Professor Wen nodded.
"Really?"
Xiao Feng’s eyes widened suddenly.
If the growth cycle could be reduced, wouldn’t that secure the future supply of ingredients?
"You all can continue researching in this direction, but the prerequisite is ensuring the edibility of the synthesized hybrid beasts!"
Xiao Feng immediately addressed Professor Wen.
"Really? Can we truly continue our research?" Professor Wen asked, trembling with excitement.
