[The host has triggered a time-limited task.]

[Attracting four residents within ten minutes will boost the base's rating and increase the land value of the territory.]

This is a time-limited task; you cannot claim it again after the time limit expires.

[This is a golden opportunity, don't miss it! Host, please act quickly!]

As soon as Lu Sheng stepped through the door, the system bombarded him with a barrage of information, leaving him no time to breathe.

She glanced at the family of four standing dumbfounded at the door.

These time-limited tasks are basically one person per task, designed specifically for the number of people. This system is like a women's affairs director who's been racking her brains to increase the marriage rate.

"Do you want to join my base?"

Lu Sheng glanced resignedly at the people outside the door. Since the system was determined to make her build a beautiful countryside and expand the population structure, she might as well go along with it.

Listen to advice and you'll have enough to eat; listen to the advice of the patriarch and you'll achieve a better life.

Who told her to be a pampered host!

The family of four outside the door tensed up instantly upon hearing Lu Sheng's words.

A young boy and girl, who had just come of age, looked expectantly at the chubby pigs and cows rolling around on the ground in the base and the boundless scientific experimental fields, and swallowed hard.

The middle-aged couple, however, hesitated and exchanged a glance.

"Young lady... if I may ask, is there anything we can do for you?"

The middle-aged man instinctively shielded the handsome young boy behind him, using his body to block his son.

Lu Sheng, who had taken in every little move the other party made: "=.=!"

What the heck?! Does she look like the kind of wicked woman who likes to drain the life force of young boys?! What's with protecting her so tightly?!

"Behave yourself and don't cause trouble. The base doesn't support idlers. Do your jobs well." Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow noncommittally.

Her aesthetic standards for men are very traditional; pale, thin, and young are no object to them!

"That's all?" the middle-aged man asked incredulously.

In the end times, all help and gifts will require an exchange of equal value.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and this is especially true after the end of the world.

Seeing that the beautiful base before him, which resembled a paradise on earth, was offering them a free membership, he immediately considered the worst-case scenario.

Having stayed at the base entrance for a day, he knew perfectly well that the base had everything it needed, so he could only conclude that Lu Sheng wanted to take his son in...

"Brother, don't worry, our Sister Lu has the style of an old cadre, she doesn't get close to men, your son is perfectly safe!"

Zhang Xiaojuan saw through the middle-aged man's thoughts and almost burst out laughing while clutching her stomach.

"Once you enter the base, you become my resident, and your absolute safety is guaranteed within the base. Apart from the initial points you receive upon joining the base, you will have to earn points through your own work to redeem your accommodation and food."

Lu Sheng first explained the preparations for survival at the base.

In her territory, work is the only thing that matters, and only laborers deserve to enjoy everything within the base.

"As long as you work honestly and don't cause me any trouble, you can live a very comfortable life here."

Having experienced many battles, Lu Sheng inadvertently revealed a powerful aura in his words.

"Don't hesitate, brother. The food and accommodation are great. Only a fool wouldn't come! My daughter gained three pounds in just half a month here. She looks like a little potato."

Han Mingjun, the old master of Chinese medicine, rushed out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife and immediately threw a brainwashing package at the family of four.

He had worked in the canteen for over a decade and was used to cooking large batches of food. Now that he was only cooking for the few people at the base, he found it difficult to control the heat and seasonings.

They desperately want more people to help him return to his peak level.

Moreover, their family's agritourism superpowers caused an overabundance of livestock and crops on the base, with the rate of consumption unable to keep up with the rate of reproduction.

With so many ingredients scattered everywhere, storing them would be a bit of a challenge, so we'd need a few more mouths to feed them.

"Yes, yes! We're willing!"

With the encouragement of a kind-looking older man, the middle-aged man immediately and eagerly agreed.

They had absolutely no reason to refuse this lucrative offer.

Zombies are everywhere, and they have nowhere to settle. Besides the zombies, they also have to worry about the ubiquitous insect infestation. He's so grateful to finally have a safe place to live!

"We're willing! As long as you're willing to give us food and a place to stay, we'll work hard!"

"Sister, I'm willing too! If you don't mind, I'll do anything!"

The handsome young man blushed and raised his hand.

Lu Sheng and the others: "..."

"He's so young yet he's already figured out the shortcuts in life. This kid has potential." Zhang Xiaojuan secretly gave the boy a thumbs up.

They completely ignored the man next to them whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Lu Sheng: "!!!"
