I became a farmer in the apocalypse.
Chapter 3 Mutant Wolf Attack
After leaving the service hall, Jiang Li went to a nearby detention center.
"I'm looking for Jiang Yan. Shouldn't he be released today?"
The people at the detention center recognized her. "Wait here, I'll go ask them."
Not long after the man went in, he came out again, followed by a young man in dirty gray clothes.
The original owner's younger brother, Jiang Yan.
When Jiang Yan learned that Jiang Li had been dumped by Xu Huanjun, he went to the research institute where Xu Huanjun worked and got into a fight with Xu Huanjun.
The base has rules and regulations, especially strict control over fighting and disturbances. Jiang Yan broke into the unit to beat someone, so he was arrested and penalized with points.
When Jiang Yan saw Jiang Li, his face immediately tightened, and his buttocks began to ache.
Afraid that Jiang Li would kick him, he avoided eye contact and stammered as he spoke.
"Sis, what brings you here?"
Jiang Li: "I cancelled my rental agreement."
Jiang Yan was taken aback and stared blankly at Jiang Li.
"You cancelled the lease? Where will you live then?"
"Sis, don't you like that house? How about we move to a nicer, bigger one, like an apartment?"
Jiang Li shook her head, "A decent apartment costs two or three thousand points a month, I can't afford that."
Jiang Yan took out a card. "Sis, I have 8,000 points here. You can use them first."
Jiang Li's gaze fell on the points card, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"Where did you get these points? Didn't you transfer all the points you earned before to me?"
Jiang Yan works as a bricklayer on a construction site. He has just awakened his evolution and his evolution level is still low, so he is not much better off than her. He earns 3,500 yuan a month, and after deducting food and drink, all of it goes to her.
The 20,000 points she used to buy the land were from the ones Jiang Yan gave her; otherwise, with her income not meeting her expenses, where would she have gotten the money to buy the land?
"I move goods for people at night," Jiang Yan said. "I can earn fifty yuan a night."
"You work twelve hours a day on the construction site, and then you move goods for others at night? Aren't you afraid of dying from overwork?"
Jiang Yan glanced at Jiang Li cautiously, "I thought you and Xu Huanjun were getting married, so I was saving up for your dowry."
When other people get married, their parents prepare a dowry. But their parents are no longer alive, so Jiang Yan felt that he had to prepare a dowry for his sister, otherwise she would be looked down upon by the Xu family after she got married.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li remained silent for a moment, sighed, and then said, "Keep the points card safe; you need to save money to exchange for seeds."
In addition, we need to buy some farm tools and enough grain for the next few months. We also need to buy grain to eat before the first batch of produce is harvested.
"Change the seeds?"
Jiang Yan blinked, a hint of confusion appearing on his handsome face. "Sister, what do you need the seeds for?"
Jiang Li: "I forgot to tell you, I used all the money you gave me to buy land, farmland outside the base."
"You shouldn't work on the construction site anymore. What future is there in carrying bricks? Come and farm with me."
Jiang Yan: "?"
"what?"
-
Ten minutes later, Jiang Yan, looking dazed, followed Jiang Li with two woven bags and squeezed onto the bus heading to the fields.
"Sis, are we really going to go farming?"
He didn't understand why Jiang Li would suddenly decide to go farming.
Is this the kind of land that ordinary people can cultivate?
"Sis, I know you were hurt by that jerk and you're feeling down right now, but—"
Jiang Yan hesitated carefully, choosing his words carefully, "We can't go and die, right? What will happen to my older sister if we die?"
"My older sister has worried so much about us over the years. If we were to die out there like this, we would truly be letting her down. By the way..."
At this point, Jiang Yancai suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Jiang Li, and asked, "Have you told my older sister about us going to farm?"
Jiang Li rested her hand on the windowsill, gazing out the window, and said slowly, "I went to the Chen family to look for her, but she wasn't there."
The original owner had an older sister and a younger brother. The older sister was very beautiful and named Jiang Tang. She was three years older than the original owner and got married three years ago. After getting married, she often helped her younger brother and sister.
Especially three years ago when the base was in dire need of famine, food prices soared and many people starved to death. The original owner's job at the weaving factory was arranged by her sister through her brother-in-law Chen Jiqi. It can be said that without her sister's help, Jiang Li and Jiang Yan would probably have starved to death long ago.
Back then, work was life itself; as long as you earned points, you wouldn't starve. However, famines are rare now. Although the base occasionally experiences food shortages, it's not like a few years ago when a large number of people starved to death.
When Jiang Li went to the Chen family, she didn't see her sister. She called but no one answered. She left a message for Jiang Tang but hasn't received a reply yet.
"Did you also buy land to farm?"
A sound interrupted Jiang Li's thoughts.
Across the aisle, a middle-aged man and a young man were sitting down, each carrying large bags and small packages.
The young man had dark skin, was very enthusiastic and outgoing, and was very sociable. He asked, "Which piece of land did you buy?"
Jiang Li: "Number 121."
The young man grinned, "I'm number 117! Not far from you! My name is Zhao Gang, let's help each other out if needed!"
The idea of leaving the safe zone to farm was full of unknowns for everyone, so they instinctively wanted to stick together for mutual support.
After chatting with Zhao Gang for a while, Jiang Li learned that Zhao Gang and his son were both Power Evolvers. They had saved some money by doing hard labor at the base and bought land, wanting to venture out and make their own way in the world.
Zhao Gang was very excited as he looked out the window at the lush greenery, his eyes filled with anticipation for life in the fields.
The bus swayed and rocked for over 30 kilometers, making the passengers drowsy. Jiang Li also gradually closed her eyes, feeling sleepy.
While driving, someone suddenly jumped up and shouted:
"There are mutated wolves chasing the car outside!"
Jiang Li was startled awake and looked out the window.
To his side and behind, there were seven or eight dark figures, wolves that were much more robust than before the apocalypse. From a distance, Jiang Li could see the bright light reflected from their sharp claws as they ran.
The once quiet carriage was now like boiling water, with everyone becoming restless.
"What's going on? How come there are mutated wolves here? This is a road! Didn't the army clear it out?"
A bearded man stood up and angrily cursed:
"What are the patrol troops doing? Mutant wolves have appeared so close to the safe zone!"
"They're still chasing!"
"What should we do?"
Fear and unease gradually appeared on everyone's faces.
"Driver, faster! Faster! Leave them behind!"
The driver looked in the rearview mirror and broke out in a cold sweat. He tried his best to speed up while remaining calm, because he was carrying the lives of a whole carload of people.
Someone called for the patrol team.
"Hey! Is this the patrol team? There are mutated wolves chasing our bus on the road from the safe zone to the fields, about twenty kilometers away!"
After hanging up the phone, he looked at everyone and said, "Don't panic, everyone. As long as we don't get caught, they won't keep chasing us. The army will be here soon!"
He had barely finished speaking when a loud "bang" rang out!
A black wolf suddenly leaped out of the woods ahead, as if it had planned to attack from both sides with its accomplices. It precisely smashed the driver's side window and aimed straight for the driver's head.
"Sizzle—!"
The screeching sound was followed by a violent impact.
The bus went out of control and crashed violently into the thick, mutated tree trunk.
In an instant, Jiang Li's entire body was thrown into the air by the impact—!
My internal organs felt as if they had been shattered.
"sister?"
"Sis, are you alright?"
Jiang Yan shielded Jiang Li with his body, fearing that Jiang Li would die, and frantically shook Jiang Li's head.
Jiang Li pushed Jiang Yan's hand away, "Don't shake me, you're making me dizzy."
She stood up groggily and looked at the horrific scene inside the car.
Some people were unconscious, some were crushed by the deformed carriages, and some were covered in blood.
Groans, cries, screams—utter chaos...
Before the people could recover, the wolves had already crawled in through the car windows one by one, tearing at the people inside.
These wolves are terrifyingly clever; they kill a person quickly and immediately move on to the next one.
Screams and cries filled the entire carriage, and those who still had energy drew their weapons and fought with the wolves.
The scene was incredibly chaotic.
Jiang Li slid a short dagger from her sleeve, raised her hand, and stabbed the nearest mutated wolf that pounced on her. The tip of the dagger pierced the carotid artery, and she slashed her wrist open with force, splattering wolf blood everywhere.
Jiang Yan, who had never seen such a scene before, stared wide-eyed, his mind blank.
"What are you standing there for?"
Jiang Li said sternly, shoving another dagger into Jiang Yan's hand, "Hurry up and kill them all."
Jiang Yan gripped the dagger, staring at the ferocious mutated wolf that could leap higher than a person...
Kill them all?
The question is, is this someone he can kill whenever he wants?
Jiang Yan gripped the knife, unsure of where to begin.
On the other side, Jiang Li kicked the second mutated wolf hard, and with her right hand holding a dagger, she forcefully stabbed the third mutated wolf in the neck from the side, freeing the person being bitten from the wolf's mouth.
In the blink of an eye, he drew a small knife with his left hand and shot it straight at a vital spot. After taking down the fourth mutated wolf, he punched the fifth mutated wolf in the eye, dodged the attack of the sixth wolf by bending over, turned around and stabbed the wolf behind him to death...
In just a few dozen seconds...
One by one, the wolves inside the carriage were taken down by Jiang Li, dying instantly before they could even let out a howl.
Before Jiang Yan could even thrust his dagger out, he stared blankly at Jiang Li's retreating figure as she fought, as if struck by lightning!
Who is this?
Where is he?
This person...
Is it his sister?
