I became a farmer in the apocalypse.
Chapter 161 [Cave Crescent Banana] [Already Included]
"Is anyone injured?"
"Report: No one is injured."
The incident happened suddenly, and the actions deviated somewhat from the plan, but the outcome was good.
Their original plan was to descend into the burrow and use blinding grenades to directly attack the monkeys, but they unexpectedly encountered the monkeys coming out of the burrow. As a result, the attack turned into an ambush, giving them an absolute advantage in position and vision.
"Captain Lin was really quick-witted; he killed five or six of them with that blast and even lured them all up here."
It must be said that Lin An's initial on-the-spot reaction played a crucial role. Within just two seconds of hearing the sound, he immediately issued the order to take cover and also left an explosive bomb in place. The detonation time was just right, and the monkeys were probably stunned.
"Alright, let's count the number of corpses first, then go down into the cave."
"When counting the bodies, never touch them with your hands. Make sure there are no signs of life first..."
In the end, there were 22 animals.
They're all completely dead.
The number was roughly the same as when Lin An first went down, which meant that the underground area was probably empty, and even if there were some fish that had escaped, there wouldn't be many.
Lin An led a small team down the cave entrance using grappling hooks to scout the situation.
The dark cave entrance was suddenly illuminated as bright as day by a high-powered light. Upon reaching the large cavity deep within the cave, it was indeed empty, and there was no longer a hairy monster in sight.
The evolved banana tree is still there, standing in the cave like a small house.
Although I had seen it before, seeing it again still left me in awe of the sight before me: clusters of golden banana vines hanging down, covering the entire trunk.
"What a huge banana tree!" The others were also stunned, and they all gathered around the thick banana tree, sighing in amazement.
Lin An: "You can go back and inform the data collection team and researchers to come over."
This banana tree will become a fixed resource spawn point. Gathering teams will come regularly to collect bananas. The bananas collected will be an extra food source for the base. On days when there is no shortage of food, they are a nutritious fruit. On days when there is a shortage of food, they can feed dozens of people.
……
Jiang Li took a few bamboo poles and went to Qiao Wu's field.
Qiao Wu had already drunk the employee nutritional solution and was now full of energy and a little excited. She planted grapes for a while and found that the grapes had started to sprout thin vines like blood vessels, so she went to find Jiang Li and asked her what to do next.
"You can build trellises now. You haven't planted many grapes, so just build one upright trellis for each grape vine."
This method is also very simple.
Jiang Li took four bamboo poles and inserted one pole into each of the four corners. She then tied one or two crossbars of suitable length between each pair of bamboo poles to secure them. Then, she guided the long, thin grape vines and began to tie them around the pillars, making a knot every thirty centimeters, so that the grape vines would coil up the four pillars like a dragon.
After being treated like this, it will grow into a three-dimensional landscape bonsai grape, which will look very nice.
Qiao Wu learned it.
Jiang Li counted out ten pumpkin seeds for her. "Our farm is going to supply pumpkins to the central base. You can take this opportunity to grow one or two. Each pumpkin is worth three thousand points, and you'll get a good bonus from it."
Qiao Wu's eyes lit up. "Okay!"
"Now I finally understand why everyone's life is always so hard." Qiao Wu thought about how a pumpkin costs 3,000 points and couldn't help but say absentmindedly, "It turns out that an ordinary person's monthly income can't even buy a pumpkin."
"As far as I can remember, my family was always worried about what to eat the next day. It was hard to get anything good to eat. If we finally managed to buy something delicious, my younger brother would eat it first, and I wouldn't get to eat it."
Qiao Wu's deepest impression was one Chinese New Year when Qiao Zhigang used the bonus he received from the factory to buy pork and flour to make dumplings. Xu Shufen wouldn't let her eat them, saying that there wasn't enough for the three of them, so she served her some dumpling soup instead.
So for that meal, the three of them ate dumplings, while she drank some dumpling soup.
She was still young at the time and felt very wronged. She hid under the covers and cried all night, not understanding why everyone else could eat dumplings but she couldn't.
Jiang Li: "It's okay, you don't need to envy them anymore. You can tell Jiang Yan what you want to eat in the future, and he can make it for you."
"Okay." Qiao Wu nodded. "From now on, they'll live their lives, and I'll live mine."
She can eat and drink her fill every day, does an easy and enjoyable job, and earns money. What more could she ask for?
Over in the rice paddies, Qiao Wu had already used a tractor to plow the base fertilizer and soil, while Chen Ye was using a rake to break up the soil and level the field.
Jiang Li went over to check the soil and said to Chen Ye, "Go find Jiang Yan to get the water pump, draw water from the river, and start irrigating the fields."
"Okay." Chen Ye quickly put down the rake and ran over.
After finishing the tasks in the fields, I went to check on Jiang Tang's stall, where a group of children were gathered around it.
"Sister, is the apple delicious?"
Jiang Tang was peeling and cutting apples into pieces when she heard their innocent questions. She couldn't help but laugh, but at the same time, she felt a pang of sadness.
Only someone who has never eaten an apple would ask that question.
Jiang Tang noticed that some of them were only four or five years old, but they had no parents and had become abandoned orphans. This meant that they were abandoned after the apocalypse. Perhaps they were forced to give up food, or perhaps their parents had suffered some misfortune. In any case, it was unknown how much suffering these children had to endure to survive.
"You'll know once you've tasted them." Jiang Tang held a giant apple in her hand. She had just noticed that Jiang Li's apple tree was ripe, so she picked a few.
I cut an apple into small pieces like I would a watermelon, and gave each of them one piece.
"Sister, is it free?"
Jiang Tang: "It's free, eat up."
A group of children held apple slices in their hands, savoring each bite with care.
"Mmm, it's really delicious."
"It's a little sour, and a little sweet."
Jiang Li watched as Jiang Tang distributed benefits to the children again, and couldn't help but chuckle.
After eating the apples, a group of children went to pick up trash with their little cloth bags on their backs, saying they would earn lots and lots of money to buy apples to eat and that they wouldn't let Jiang Tang lose money.
It's quite remarkable that they even knew Jiang Tang had lost money.
"I want to eat an apple too."
Lin An returned at some point; she really can't do without anything.
Lin An was carrying a large bag of bananas, which he handed to Jiang Li. "Hey, these are for you. I snatched them from the monkey."
Looking at the large bunch of golden bananas in front of her, Jiang Li wondered, "These are the evolved bananas?"
Lin An nodded, "Yes, they taste much better than regular bananas."
Jiang Li took the banana.
【Cave Crescent Banana】

The legendary golden card lit up, and Jiang Li glimpsed the full appearance of this evolved plant through the card.
