However, Jiang Li and his group were uncooperative. Their own son was also working for the base, otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford a villa, so they were a little unhappy and wouldn't rely on them. Therefore, they left after being rejected.
Just now, Gu Jin tried to speak, but Jiang Li stopped her with her hand. The more you pay attention to this kind of person, the more complicated things will become. Even if Gu Jin opened the door to temporarily shut them up, she still wouldn't be able to control the two of them afterwards.
The others wanted to step forward when they heard this, but seeing Jiang Li stopping Gu Jin, they didn't.
Jiang Li stood behind the door, listening to the two people talking and gradually walking away. He chuckled and pulled Gu Jin back.
The two women's words were loaded with implications, implying that they were being supported by Gu Jin and his group because of their looks, and that they might be abandoned by Gu Jin and the other three in the future.
After being abandoned, they will be unable to support themselves and will have no choice but to sell their looks.
The most ridiculous thing in this world is judging others by your own standards.
Seeing that someone is good-looking but doesn't go out or work, people assume that the person is being supported, living off their looks, and is a parasite.
Little did they know that what they saw as a dodder plant was actually a man-eating plant.
If you dare to get too close to her and upset her, they'll eat you alive.
"Why won't you let me open the door? What they said was really awful."
Gu Jin said, holding Jiang Li's hand.
"Yeah, girl, what they're saying is disgusting."
Fang Qingxun was also very angry. Not only him, everyone was angry. Fu Xiaxia and the others had always treated her like a younger sister, and Jiang Li was the partner they had chosen as their captain. They genuinely regarded Jiang Li as a teammate and a friend. They couldn't stand the gossip of these two old women.
"Yes, Jiang Li, I'm even thinking of going out and arguing with them."
Fu Xiaxia was so angry that she wanted to rush up and tear their mouths apart to stop them from talking nonsense.
“I know you’re angry, but why should we waste our energy on people like that? Remember that woman who knocked on the door before? Didn’t you argue with her too? In the end, what good did it do? You only made yourselves angry.”
Once they've made up their minds, nothing we say will change that."
Jiang Li explained to everyone.
"But I can't let them misunderstand you and Fu Xiaxia like that."
Gu Jin looked intently into Jiang Li's eyes, and thinking about those two people from earlier, she couldn't help but want to teach them a lesson.
"Alright, they're just a few women, let's not worry about them. There are probably more than just the two of them who think this way, and we can't argue with everyone, that would be too tiring."
After comforting Gu Jin, Jiang Li spoke to Fu Xiaxia.
"Xiaxia, they must be jealous that we're doing better than them. Let's eat delicious food every day to make them jealous. I still have cake in my space. Let's go eat cake."
Jiang Li pulled Fu Xiaxia into the living room to eat cake.
Fu Xiaxia was initially very angry, but upon hearing that there was cake to eat, she immediately forgot her troubles and went to the living room with Jiang Li.
Gu Jin and the other three stayed in the courtyard. They talked for a while, and then Gu Jin came in and told Jiang Li and the others that she had to go out. After that, she left.
It was several hours later when Gu Jin and the others returned. When asked what they had been doing for so long, Gu Jin and the others wouldn't say, acting all mysterious.
However, after being turned away, the neighbors didn't bother Jiang Li again.
Jiang Li was quite satisfied with this.
As long as they don't bother her, she doesn't care whether these people are loving and affectionate or scheming against each other.
However, when Jiang Li was sleeping that night, she seemed to hear shouting next door. Just as Jiang Li remembered, Gu Jin said that he would go and check it out. Sure enough, there was no more noise after Gu Jin left.
Jiang Li didn't bother with it, figuring it wasn't a big deal, and went back to sleep.
In the following days, the base also tried to rescue the people outside, but they would be attacked by wild beasts as soon as they went out. There was really no way to rescue them. There were too many wild beasts. They might perish on the way before they could even rescue the people.
All we can do is take the drone out to patrol and then drop some food in places where people are.
After living in the underground city for more than a month, the underground city notified us that the rice was ripe and ready for harvest.
The growth cycle of early-maturing rice is about two to three months, while that of late-maturing rice is about seven to eight months. The new varieties developed at the base can be harvested in just over a month, which is much earlier than expected.
This is, undeniably, good news.
With the harvest approaching, everyone in the underground city was filled with joy.
Although Jiang Li didn't go out, he could hear the anticipation for the grain from the loud conversations around him.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to harvest the grain.
Everyone in the underground city eagerly awaited the return of those who had gone to the plantation.
Those whose families had members working on the plantation were looking forward to receiving their share of the grain.
Those who had saved up a lot of contribution points went to the supermarket early to queue up, ready to grab the food as soon as it was put on the shelves.
Food is of paramount importance right now.
Gu Jin returned home that day with some news.
"Captain Wang showed me the video brought back by the drone. The base has been completely taken over by animals. The wall on the back mountain has been destroyed. The other sides are still okay. The base gate is also closed, so the animals can't get out at all."
Furthermore, the animals go berserk every now and then, so we have to find ways to lure them to the back mountain when they're not berserk. We also have to open the base's gates and try to drive as many animals as possible out of the base. These are some photos of the animals taken at the base; you can take a look.
Gu Jin handed the documents she was holding to everyone and then continued speaking.
“There are still some people at the base. Captain Wang asked us if we were willing to do a mission. If we go, we have to leave in three days. What do you think?”
Gu Jin turned to ask for everyone's opinion.
"Go away, you're practically getting moldy from staying cooped up here all this time."
Fang Qingxun was the most impatient.
"I'm going to stretch my muscles too."
Fu Xiaxia was not afraid at all.
"go."
This is Shi Lin.
“My brother is going, so I’m going too.”
This is Shi Yuan.
"I'm going too."
Jiang Li agreed. She didn't know how the animals were doing. Although she preferred to stay at home, she wasn't saying she would never go out.
In this situation, they also need to learn about these new mutated animals so that they will know how to deal with them if they encounter them outside. Besides, they can't really stay in the underground city forever.
“Okay, that’s the same idea. We can also practice our skills while we’re at it. I’ll go and tell Captain Wang and get the things ready. Shi Lin, you can come with me.”
"good."
After Gu Jin finished speaking, she and Shi Lin each rode an electric scooter out again. The electric scooters were from Jiang Li's space. There were electric scooters everywhere in the base now. Jiang Li selected a few that looked similar and took them out, so that it would be more convenient to get around.
