Chapter 273 - 164 Alliance_2
Under normal circumstances, each member of the base represents one labor force. It takes five labor forces to add an alliance slot. For instance, Shadow’s main base currently has eight people, and together with the two from the supermarket base, that’s a total of ten labor forces. The supermarket base contributes two labor forces, and the main base contributes three, allowing them to spend these five labor forces to form an alliance. After the alliance, the main base is left with five labor forces.
At this point, the supermarket base could then form an alliance with Base A, which has five labor forces. Theoretically, as long as the other party is willing and able to contribute five labor forces, the supermarket base could form alliances with an unlimited number of bases.
The emergence of this rule signifies the possibility of alliance mode. It seems that as long as there are enough people, alliances could be formed indefinitely. Such alliances also represent a lot of uncertainties, as players can truly rob other bases.
If AB form an alliance, and A takes people to B’s base for tea, they could suddenly rise up, kill three of the five members at B’s base, and use firearms to control the remaining two. Apart from begging, the survivors at B’s base could be extorted by A: "If you want to live, give us this or that in exchange." This is very feasible because if all members of a base were to die, the base would be removed by the system, and all resources and items would vanish into nothingness, and not even getting married could stop this.
Breaking the Alliance: Can be proposed by one party and if the other party agrees, both can immediately end the alliance. If the other party disagrees, the alliance is automatically dissolved after 12 hours.

The update brought wails from nearly a million people, a sight so grand it was truly spectacular. Fortress agents accustomed to a lone-wolf lifestyle fainted right in the bathroom. The number close to a million suggests there are still aberrations. For example, the Shadow base particularly appreciates the alliance rules, as everyone has been coveting the supermarket base’s library for a long time. It’s not easy to get through the winter, days are hard to pass by, so after forming an alliance, one could sleep in the morning and head over to the supermarket base’s library to read novels all night.
The only problem is the doctor. Right now, among the ten people in the two bases, only Emerald Feather is a general practitioner. What kind of doctor should Emerald Feather advance to? Should the base set up two doctors or just one?
The management’s discussion was inconclusive, so a Shadow expansion meeting was called. Lin Wu’s decisiveness was still at full value, "One, general practitioner."
