Chapter 74 Seedlings
Day 27 of survival, 06:10:15 daytime, temperature -7°C to 8°C, zone 301, number of survivors 42156/100000.
When the big bad wolf woke up, the first thing he did was check the temperature and time in the communication area.
The temperature was much higher today than yesterday, and he was just about to marvel at God's benevolence when he discovered that the number of survivors had decreased significantly.
well……
Seeing that his roommate was still sleeping, the Big Bad Wolf quietly put away his mattress and blanket, then took out a plastic bucket and trash can, checked the time, and whispered, "I overslept today."
Thinking about all the delicious food he had eaten yesterday, he felt that he had been lazy and felt a little guilty towards the base.
This is the first time I've ever eaten so much and felt so full since I came into this world.
Because the cabins provided for the staff at the base were close to the bar, and he even managed to snag a beer, which he specifically saved for before bed.
The beer wasn't very strong, but it gave him a good night's sleep until dawn.
After falling asleep, he dreamed that his daughter became a superhuman, safely found the White Moon Base and reunited with him. She also formed a team, and he introduced his daughter and her team to the White Moon Base.
The compliments made him laugh, and then he woke up.
In the end, it was just a dream.
After so many days, I've discussed it with others, sent messages in the chat area, and even searched for my daughter's WeChat nickname, but there's still no news.
He also believes that his daughter is probably not in District 301, just as those young people guessed.
That was the child he had raised with great care, who had just been admitted to graduate school and had a bright future... He decided to spend his free time every day sending messages in the world chat area.
Although the hope is slim, maybe my daughter will see the message.
The big bad wolf was stunned when he pushed open the door.
The base... has changed dramatically!
The former muddy ground has been replaced with a smooth and hard stone slab floor—it can now be swept quickly with a broom.
A surge of joy welled up within him; this must mean the base had been upgraded once again.
Although Big Bad Wolf is over 40 years old and doesn't understand games, he has experienced several attacks on the base and understands very well the importance of base upgrades for the safety of people like them.
"Who is it... Get up and close the door... Did you forget to close the door?"
"Big chicken leg! I want a hamburger, fried chicken, and sweet and sour pork..."
Hearing his roommate's dissatisfied complaints and sleep-talking, the Big Bad Wolf snapped out of his shock and quickly went out to close the door.
While taking out a broom to start cleaning, he observed the changes in the base.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
After the big bad wolf finished cleaning an area, he suddenly saw that the old man next door was also carrying a broom.
This old man's family has young and middle-aged members. The family worked hard to save up materials and built a wooden house early on. They lived a better life than him. The old man was kind-hearted and even helped him out.
"Hey, good morning. Why are you up so early today?"
"Haha, I noticed the base was upgraded last night, and guessed they might be hiring, so I got up early and went to the mission hall to apply."
The old man laughed a few times and then talked about the scenery he had seen along the way: "The base has changed a lot. There are so many saplings planted. I don't know if they are fruit trees or ornamental trees."
Big Bad Wolf: "It's good if it's a fruit tree. We can get fruit as a perk when the base gives out benefits in the future."
The old man pointed in a direction: "I'm going over there. The base is hiring a lot of sanitation workers today. Check if the area you cleaned has been updated."
"If you hadn't seen it, you probably would have cleaned it for someone else."
"That's nothing. There's only so much to do every day anyway."
The big bad wolf nodded, put down his broom, and silently recited the base's auxiliary panel.
A semi-transparent screen appeared in front of him instantly.
Even after more than 20 days, the Big Bad Wolf was still amazed by this incredible technology.
The base auxiliary panel is a feature available to all players who have applied for jobs at the base, allowing them to see their job duties, work schedules, work areas, and benefits.
The work area is in the bottom right corner of the screen. The Big Bad Wolf taps the screen, and his location marker appears, showing him standing right at the edge of the cleaning area.
He glanced at the area that had already been cleaned and figured he had plenty of time, so he might as well help others clean it up.
After looking at the mini-map, the big bad wolf took a broom and went over. He saw the saplings by the farmland, squatted down, and carefully touched the leaves.
He had plenty of time to clean, so he wasn't in a hurry and took the time to inspect all the saplings.
Judging from the leaves, these saplings should be orange trees. The old man from before was dressed neatly and probably had never farmed before, so I didn't recognize him.
After walking for a while, the big bad wolf saw a farmland enclosed by a low fence, where a familiar person was busy working.
"A withered tree comes back to life! How many more plots of land have you acquired? You guys have pretty good benefits, yet you're still working so hard."
"Oh, it's you! The base has been upgraded and expanded today. Farming is so much easier than before. I finished cleaning all 10 plots in no time. Has your cleaning area gotten bigger?"
The withered tree, having buried its last seed, straightened up and patted the soil off its hands.
"However, this is my own land. I cultivate it myself. I hand over half of the harvest from one plot of land each month. I don't use fertilizer or speed things up; I just invest in the cost of the seeds."
The big gray wolf raised his hand and then lowered it again, his tone uncertain as he asked, "Our own land? The base allows us to farm our own land?"
Kumu Fengchun nodded: "Yes. It's a new one today. But you can only choose it in farmland surrounded by these light yellow fences. If you want to get it, you'd better hurry to the mission hall, or it'll be all gone."
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
After receiving a positive reply, the big bad wolf thanked them and ran off towards the quest lobby, going against the direction of the excitedly shouting players.
...
The residents of the base gradually woke up and discovered the changes. They were all surprised and called out to their friends.
"Another upgrade! Our base is now a level 3 base, right? I heard there's a leaderboard, and our base is definitely number one. I've never heard of any other base being level 3 before..."
"Oh, this stone slab floor is so clean and flat, much more convenient than muddy ground."
"There must be new buildings at the base this time. Let's go take a look and then go out to collect supplies."
"This...this ranch? Why is there nothing inside? Shouldn't there be some chickens and ducks or something?"
"A ranch! Does that mean the base can provide meat?"
"Even though I ate a lot of meat yesterday, I'm still craving meat."
"I'm craving it too. The base's meat stock seems to be running low. I heard the base chief is trading meat with someone to host a feast for us."
"No NPCs have appeared. Are we going to have to catch chickens, ducks, and cows to raise ourselves? Maybe the quest hall has a quest for us to go out and catch a few today."
Tian Tian looked at the pasture surrounded by a wooden fence, where there was a two-story wooden house at the edge of the fence. Next to the house were open-style cowsheds and a pond.
She felt that the person next to her was right, and she began to look forward to it.
The base now has a large area of farmland and fruit trees, and the supply of vegetables seems to have become more stable.
If the base can provide a stable and continuous supply of meat, then they will have nothing to worry about if they are besieged again.
