I understand what the furry ones are saying. I'm going crazy killing people in the apocalypse.

Chapter 29: Extreme Heat Arrives (1)

After lunch, some of the new people who joined the Taoyuan base have adapted to the environment. Among them, more than a dozen people saw the recruitment information and came to the affairs center to apply for positions.

After a brief assessment, Ji Li entered six people.

At present, some affairs of the base have been handed over to Qu Jin to handle, and suitable personnel have been recruited for the work of harvesting and planting fields. Now she only needs to take the two big cats out every day to fight monsters and obtain crystal cores, and work hard to build the base!
Ji Li held the glass and took a sip of water, then leaned her head against the back of the chair and suddenly felt the pressure relieved a lot.

After thinking about it, Ji Li took advantage of the lunch break to call up the panel to upgrade the base. As more people came to collect wood and stone, the base upgraded faster, and it was upgraded to level eight, and several more buildings were added.

[Taoyuan Base (Level 8)]

【Population: 123/800】

【Tax rate: 10% (adjustable)】

[Buildings: Business center, wooden house*6, intermediate warehouse, power plant, water purification plant, trading hall, residential building (nine floors)*5, tailor shop, convenience store, pig farm, bakery, feed factory, gas station, canteen, field*30]

任务一：【升级（9）基地居民楼（九层）*5牧羊场、停车场、鞋厂、任务完成即可获得田地*20（土地面积1m×1m）、金币20000】

In addition, new crops are also unlocked: wheat, carrots, sugarcane, and onions.

After adjusting the layout on the transparent panel, Ji Li stood up and walked out of the business center to see the newly built pig farm, feed factory and bakery.

In the fields.

A figure in black linen clothes and pants sat on the ground.

I don’t know what month it is now, but the temperature is gradually rising. The sky is no longer gray, but a fiery red sun is hanging in the azure sky, blindingly hot.

"Why are you sitting here?"

Ji Li stepped forward. The figure hurriedly stood up when he heard the question: "Lord..." Song Xiaojie looked at Ji Li nervously, "...I'll wait here for the crops to grow."

Song Xiaojie is fourteen years old and he is the youngest among the survivors. When Ji Li was processing his resident ID card, she learned that both of the boy's parents were gone.

Considering that he was only fourteen years old, Ji Li did not let him collect wood and stones. Instead, he arranged for the young boy to be temporarily responsible for harvesting and planting crops. This job was easy and simple.

Hearing the boy's words, Ji Li said helplessly: "Then there's no need to stay here, you'll get a heat stroke."

Except for corn, whose growth cycle is ten minutes, the growth cycles of other crops are basically about half an hour, so there is no need to stay in the fields to harvest and plant.

Song Xiaojie lowered his head.

Ji Li was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" She raised her hand and touched the boy's head, and asked in a gentle voice, "What happened?"

Song Xiaojie raised his head again: "Lord, will you drive me away?"

"Of course not, why do you ask?"

Song Xiaojie said anxiously: "I can't do much work now, I'm afraid you will dislike me and kick me out..."

Compared to staying at the Red Maple Base, where he had to go hungry every day and have his food stolen by others after much difficulty, the Taoyuan Base was simply a paradise for him.

Before their parents died, they told him to live well. He didn't want to die, so when he heard about the job opening, he plucked up the courage to sign up.

He liked it here very much, and the lord treated him well. He knew that it was because he was young that he did not have to collect wood and stone, but he also felt uneasy because of this, fearing that he would be driven out one day.

In order to stay in this base, he worked very hard and stayed in the fields for fear of missing the crops from growing and being disliked for not working seriously.
