I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Lu Mingjue's words caused quite a stir among the crowd.

Countless eyes turned to Jiang Li.

"Xiao Li, you really awakened your superpowers?"

That's a one in 100,000 chance!

How can someone be so lucky!

"Jiang Li, have you received the one million points subsidy?"

"What is a wood-based superpower?"

"..."

Everyone was talking at once, very curious.

After all, only a few people in the entire base have awakened their superpowers, and they never expected that one of them would be in their field. It felt like a big shot was right next to them.

Since they were all from the same farming district, Jiang Li naturally couldn't remain completely silent, so she picked out a few questions to answer:

"I didn't receive a million, I only received 100,000 points."

"Wood-type abilities can nourish plants, so the things in my ground can grow very quickly."

This statement can be seen as a prelude to the fact that her crops suddenly sprouted overnight.

Everyone listened with envy, "There's even this benefit! It can make plants grow faster! Doesn't that mean we can have a harvest sooner?"

Su Xiao looked at Jiang Li, unable to believe that Jiang Li had awakened a superpower, and it was even the only wood-type superpower. She clenched her fists, not understanding why good things always happened to Jiang Li.

"Now that you've awakened your superpowers, what are you still doing in the fields? Didn't the base assign you any work?" Su Xiao asked coldly.

She hoped Jiang Lijin would disappear from her sight as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't be bothered by seeing her!

Jiang Li: "I did not accept any work assigned by the base."

These words surprised and puzzled everyone.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiao became enraged and retorted, "Why won't you accept the work assigned by the base?"

Is he crazy? Since he's a superhuman, wouldn't it be better to just take a government job? Why does he have to squeeze into this rural area with her? He's always in her sight.

Jiang Li looked at Su Xiao's face, twisted with jealousy, and her voice turned colder, "Why are you so controlling? What business is it of yours whether I accept the work assigned by the base?"

Su Xiao's face darkened slightly. She looked at Jiang Li with resentment, feeling that the world was truly unfair to her! Why did Jiang Li have all sorts of advantages? Even when she went to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables, a pig would bump into her face, and she awakened superpowers without doing anything...

What exactly is this?

Thinking this, Su Xiao felt a surge of anger. "Everyone else is hoping to awaken their superpowers and get a government job, but you! The base offers you a job and you don't want it! You're just hogging the job!"

If only this opportunity could be given to her, I heard that the job arranged by the base would have at least 10,000 points as a minimum, plus various supplies and benefits!

Jiang Li looked at her sarcastically, "So what if I'm using the toilet? It's not like I'm using yours, so who are you to complain about it?"

"Besides, even if I don't awaken my superpowers, does that mean you can? Don't always blame your failures on other people's successes."

Su Xiao choked.

She clenched her fists, biting her lip in resentment, and remained silent, but looked at Jiang Li as if she were looking at an enemy.

Seeing this, someone nearby advised:

"Su Xiao, whether Jiang Li accepted the job at the base is her business, and we outsiders shouldn't interfere."

They're all smart people; how could they not see through Su Xiao's little scheme? It's pure jealousy!

Actually, they were jealous too. Most of the people present were jealous, but what could they do about it? What wasn't theirs would never be theirs. Instead of making sarcastic remarks, they should try to build a good relationship with Jiang Li. Maybe they could even get some benefits from it in the future!

"Exactly, Su Xiao, stop picking on Jiang Li all the time. She hasn't done anything to offend you, so why are you always going against her?"

Seeing everyone siding with Jiang Li, Su Xiao turned and left in anger.

What a bunch of opportunists! They're just trying to curry favor with Jiang Li because she's one in ten thousand.

Nausea.

Gradually, the people at bus stop number 13 dispersed.

Jiang Li and Jiang Yan returned to the safe house. As soon as the door opened, Zhu Cuihua came running over and rubbed against Jiang Li's leg.

Jiang Li was taken aback.

Has Zhu Cuihua changed her personality?

Before, even though we lived under the same roof, I wanted to stay as far away from her as possible, but today I actually took the initiative to come closer to her?

That's really strange.

Jiang Yan: "Sister, Zhu Cuihua is hungry. We didn't feed her before we left."

Jiang Li: "..."

That's exactly what she was saying!

Glancing at the piglet, Jiang Li said, "Now you know who its benefactors are."

Jiang Li turned around and went to the vegetable garden to pick two eggplants, took them back into the house, and put them in the steamer.

The piglet stared intently at Jiang Li's movements at first, and after the eggplant was put in, it stared intently at the steamer.

As the day drew to a close and it grew late, Jiang Yan began to cook. He had a few potatoes and planned to make stir-fried potato shreds.

The eggplant is steamed.

Jiang Li handed the steamed eggplant to Zhu Cuihua. Seeing that Zhu Cuihua was eating it quickly, she comforted her:

"No rush, eat slowly, grow slowly, and when you're all grown up, I'll eat you up."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cuihua stopped worrying and even stopped eating. She lowered her head and started crying, with small pearls falling continuously.

Jiang Li gently wiped away its tears, "It still cries so easily. I wonder if all those tears will make the pork more flavorful. Maybe I should use less salt next time..."

The little piglet suddenly raised its head, tears welling up in its eyes.

It sniffed, held back its tears, and looked outside with a melancholy expression.

Field patrol unit's base.

"Captain Lu, Lin An is here."

Zhou Yang led the group in.

Lu Mingjue looked at the newcomer. He was tall and slender, with a height of 1.7 meters, which was considered tall among female soldiers.

He knew that Lin An was a level 10 speed and level 6 strength evolver. The reason the higher-ups sent Lin An over was because they were worried that something might happen to the base's only wood-type ability user in the fields, so they sent extra people.

"What is my mission?" Lin An asked.

Her face was cold, and her expression clearly showed that she was not happy about the sudden transfer of her from the front lines back to the field.

"We will regularly patrol the area around the safe house of the landowner at No. 121, and protect her immediately if there is any alert," Lu Mingjue said.

Lin An was surprised. "That's it?"

"You transferred me back from the front lines just to protect one person?" Lin An's face was full of incomprehension. "Do you know that the situation on the front lines has changed these days? Those level four and five mutated beasts have not only evolved venom glands, but have also learned to hide. Yesterday, several soldiers at outposts were silently bitten to death by mutated beasts."

Lu Mingjue had always known that the high walls of the base were only the last line of defense. A hundred miles away from the base, there was another line of defense, with a complete protective belt, various landmines and traps, machine gun turrets and defensive outposts, where the legion was stationed.

They call that the edge.

The border is the main battlefield where mutated beasts and humans from various bases fight, and almost 50 percent of the soldiers are there on guard against the invasion of advanced mutated beasts.

Advanced mutant beasts can sprint at speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour. Once they break through the boundary, they can reach the base's high wall in just one hour. Once they reach that point, the base's high wall becomes nothing more than a decoration. For mutant beasts that have evolved the ability to crawl and fly, it is only a matter of minutes to get through the high wall. What follows is rushing into the residential areas and looting and killing at will.

The base has remained stable over the years because the advanced mutant beasts have been relatively well-behaved, and there have been few group attacks. The few group attacks that have occurred have been repelled by the frontline soldiers.
