I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

"Caiping, is there anything else you want to buy? How about we go browse some other stores?"

"Okay, let's go look around elsewhere."

Jiang Tang left together with Liu Caiping.

Qiu Mei clenched her fists tightly.

After leaving the store, Qiu Mei glanced at Chen Jiqi beside her, pursed her lips, and said:

"Brother Chen, Jiang Tang... why is she so rich?"

She couldn't understand the question.

After thinking it over, there's only one possibility.

"Brother Chen, did you give Jiang Tang all her money?"

If that's the case, she absolutely won't allow it!

Chen Jiqi is her man now, so what's the point of him spending money on his ex-wife?

Chen Jiqi denied it, saying, "Qiu Mei, I did not transfer any money to Jiang Tang."

"Then why is she so rich? She can spend over a thousand points to buy clothes at once."

Chen Jiqi: "Jiang Tang earned all her money by selling dolls."

Besides this, Chen Jiqi couldn't think of any other way for Jiang Tang to earn points, especially since Jiang Tang had been doing this every day at home before.

Qiu Mei: "But didn't you say you could only earn a few hundred points a month?"

Chen Jiqi shook his head, "I don't know either. Maybe making that stuff will earn more than I thought."

After all, he had never accompanied Jiang Tang to set up a stall before, so he really didn't know how much they could earn in a month.

Qiu Mei clenched her fists.

Since Jiang Tang makes money this way, she'll make money this way too! Anyway, she's already bought all the materials, so she'll go back and start making it, hoping to set up a stall and earn points as soon as possible!

"Brother Chen, I'll also earn points through this."

Qiu Mei didn't want Chen Jiqi to think she was inferior to Jiang Tang. What Jiang Tang could do, Qiu Mei could do too!

Chen Jiqi was very pleased. "Qiu Mei, it's good that you think this way."

Now that the divorce from Jiang Tang is a done deal, I should make the most of my life with Qiu Mei. Qiu Mei is a reliable person, no less so than Jiang Tang.

-

In the past few days, Jiang Li has been able to feel changes in the energy within her body. The wood-elemental energy in her body is gradually strengthening, which is probably related to her daily absorption of plant essences (eating a lot).

On the fifth day of the Red Rain, Jiang Li got up, picked up a small shovel, and went to the vegetable garden. Yesterday, she had encouraged more than ten chili pepper plants to grow and harvested a batch. Today, she planned to harvest another batch of chili peppers to make up a quantity so that she could sell them in the safe zone.

While I was picking chili peppers, I suddenly saw a group of people walking towards us.

Jiang Li quickly hid the vegetable basket in the gaps between the chili plants, and then covered it with the rainproof cloth of the arched shed.

"Hello, landowner number 121."

The leader was patrol captain Lu Mingjue. Perhaps he didn't remember her name, so he simply called her that.

Jiang Li looked at him. "Captain Lu, hello. Is there something you need?"

Lu Mingjue's expression was stern. "We came here specifically to remind you not to stray too far from the safe house recently, because we have received an emergency mission and need to transfer a group of people to pick up people coming from the central safe zone. Therefore, the defense of the field area will be weakened in the near future!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan asked, "How many patrol troops are left in Tiantian District these days?"

Lu Mingjue: "One-third."

In other words, two-thirds of the staff in the field area need to be transferred away.

"Huh?" Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised and worried. "So many people are leaving? What are we going to do?"

"These days, there have been constant attacks on the fields by mutated animals. A while ago it was mutated wolves, and yesterday my sister was injured by a mutated bird. It's already very dangerous. Now that you're leaving, aren't we just fish on the chopping block of these mutated animals?"

For the people of Ta Ward, the patrol army is the only security in the entire area.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We're soldiers, and all we can do is obey orders from above."

Jiang Yan then asked, "Why did the central government send people? What happened?"

"An unprecedented number of superhumans have appeared in the Central Security Zone," Zhou Yang said. "This news was distributed to all districts early this morning. We are to provide support for the three superhumans sent by the Central Security Zone, as well as their superhuman research team."

Jiang Li was startled upon hearing this.

"A superhuman?"

Is she a superhuman like her?

Zhou Yang: "Superpowered individuals are different from us evolved individuals. I've heard that their abilities are related to various attributes. Today, three metal-type superpowered individuals are coming from the central government. They can manipulate metal."

Zhou Yan's eyes widened in surprise. "Manipulate metal?"

Isn't that Magneto? Is he that powerful?

"Therefore, the Ninth Security Zone must properly receive the people coming from the Central Government. If anything happens to those three precious metal ability users on their way here, the Central Government will definitely hold them accountable."

After all, these unprecedented superhumans are a resource that the Central Base currently values ​​immensely! They are even more precious than researchers!

"Okay, we understand," Jiang Yan sighed. "We'll just have to be careful these next few days."

Lu Mingjue: "Thank you for your understanding."

After saying that, he left with his group.

After they walked away, Jiang Li took out the vegetable basket hidden under the tarpaulin and carried a basket of fresh, bright green peppers back into the house.

Unexpectedly, she wasn't the only superhuman in this world. Ten years into the apocalypse, the survivors were gradually awakening superhuman abilities like hers.

This is a good thing.

If the existence of people with superpowers becomes widely accepted, then she won't have to hide anymore and can openly farm.

Jiang Li felt much more relieved.

"Sis," Jiang Yan sighed, sitting on a small stool, "How come you all awakened superpowers? Do you think I might awaken one too? After all, you're my sister, we have the same parents, our genes are similar, there's no reason why you can awaken superpowers but I can't, right?"

If he awakens that metal-related superpower that Brother Zhou Yang mentioned, and can manipulate metal, then he'll have the ability to protect his sister! He won't have to be a useless person anymore.

Jiang Li wasn't sure if Jiang Yan could awaken her superpowers, since she was a time traveler, not a reincarnated one; there was no script, so she could only hope so.

The news that the patrol team needed to spare manpower to meet the superhuman quickly spread throughout the entire field area.

The Ninth Base also quickly issued a corresponding notice:

[News from the central government: Some citizens have awakened metal-based superpowers. A special reminder: If you notice any signs of awakening, or confirm that you have already awakened a superpower, please report it to the base immediately. The base will reward you with one million points as a talent placement fee and grant you an official position…]

The news caused an uproar on the Ninth Base forum.

What?! One million points!

Isn't this just like when the Brain Domain Evolvers appeared?

[When the first case of a brain-domain evolver was discovered, the safe zone immediately issued a notice that anyone with a brain-domain evolver could immediately start working at the research institute and would receive one million points as a reward.]

After all, there are very few people who have evolved their brains; there are only ten out of every 100,000 people, a probability of one in ten thousand.

[I'm so envious! I wish I could awaken some kind of superpower and become rich overnight!]

Not only do you get points, but you can also get a good job, ensuring you'll never have to worry about food and drink again.

[However, it should be a military position, right? After all, this "metal ability" sounds like a combat-related ability. If someone like that went to the military, they should be able to play a significant role.]

Going to the army is better than going hungry every day!

[But I heard that out of the entire Central Security Zone's eight million inhabitants, only a dozen or so people have awakened superpowers, which is even lower than the probability of those who have undergone brain evolution.]

Jiang Li was tempted by the one million talent placement points.
