After the discussion, Zhao Xian asked, "Are you going to start planting the next round of land now?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Yes, I plan to expand a few acres of peanut fields to produce oil."
Peanuts are not easy to grow, and are prone to diseases and pests. Early-maturing varieties need to be planted for more than 100 days. Unlike potatoes and pumpkins, they are relatively easy to care for.
Zhao Xian: "I have an errand here, and I wanted to take you with me. If you don't have time..."
Qiao Xuejun was curious and asked hurriedly, "What errand?"
Zhao Xian: "I received a distress signal from the border of Gongzhou. I need to go pick up someone, an old professor who has lived alone until now."
Before Qiao Xuejun asked, he told her the reason for bringing her along: "It's 200 kilometers across the land, and the road conditions are complicated. Maybe there's a greater chance of finding special plants."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuejun nodded: "That's true." The farther you go, the more you see.
200 kilometers is not far in normal times, and you don’t have to leave the province. But now the sea has submerged the land, and Gongzhou is mountainous, so it’s not all sea. To travel these 200 kilometers, you must go up mountains and down sea, and it takes a lot of time.
Zhao Xian: "We are in a hurry to rescue people, so we have to march quickly. It is estimated to take less than 8 days. The return journey can be slower. You can look for what you want on the way."
Qiao Xuejun thought for a moment and asked, "When do we set off?"
Zhao Xian: "Tonight. We are ready to go."
Qiao Xuejun was surprised: "Then I'll go back and prepare as well. I'll go with you. As for the peanuts, we can plant them when we get back."
In normal times, farmers would not be able to leave because of the rush to plant crops. But in the fertile fields of the shelter, they can plant crops at any time, and they can make up for it later. However, Zhao Xian obviously did not have the opportunity to join them at any time.
During this period, you can give the land to three teammates and let them plant potatoes first.
Having made up his mind, Qiao Xuejun said hello to Zhao Xian and hurried out to prepare for the shelter.
Zhao Xian looked at Qiao Xuejun's back, his brows relaxed, then he looked down at the neatly written sentence "Qiao Xuejun. Agreed." on the document, smiled, closed the document, put it away, and sealed it.

After leaving the first base, Qiao Xuejun first called out the system: "That broadcast just now, was it a bug on your part?"
Forty million in food rewards, when has the system ever been so generous?
System: "No, I want to ask you, host. I don't know what happened."
Qiao Xuejun: "...You mean you released it as a beta version? I don't know anything."
System: "...This is too sudden. I have never seen such a scene, host."
Qiao Xuejun gave up looking for answers from the system. She guessed that it was because of the contract signed with Zhao Xian.
The system also agreed with this statement: "The reward for recruiting people is to recognize that you, the host, have successfully taken responsibility for the survival of so many people, mainly in terms of food. After all, we are a granary system."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "That's right, once the binding contract is signed, it's more than just a transaction." She signed the contract and also gave food to the First Base. Both in form and in name, she had a responsibility.
The system smiled happily: "So many points! 40 million!"
"There are so many points for cooperating with Zhao Xianhe. What was Shen Xingtang struggling for in the beginning?"
System: "Host, it's different. That was a merger, which is equivalent to being swallowed up. Shen Xingtang's shelter would be equal to zero. But you are different. You are cooperating and deeply bound. You are still you, but you have greater responsibilities."
Qiao Xuejun: "Come to think of it, I don't need to go looking for those things with Zhao Xian. 40 million grains and 2,286 people are enough to feed them for 40 years."
"Well..." The system stuttered, "In fact, in addition to rewards, there are also tasks, host."
[Congratulations to the host for triggering the ultimate mission: Rebuilding civilization! Strive for a better tomorrow! Work hard to increase the number of people in the base to 10,000! Cities are the important cornerstones of civilization! ]
Qiao Xuejun:?
Duo Shao? 10,000?
Qiao Xuejun: "...Isn't this Zhao Xian's mission?"
System: "Host, this is your mission."
Qiao Xuejun was speechless: "Now there are 2286 people, how can we expand it to 10,000? Kidnapping? Kidnapping the whole world?"
System: "Either annexation or reproduction. Come on, host!"
Qiao Xuejun asked again: "Can the 40 million grains be taken out?"
System: "You can take it out after a three-month stabilization period. The granary system was originally created to preserve human survival, so recruiting people into the base and taking care of their food and drink is the most important thing, and you can get the most points as a reward."
Qiao Xuejun asked a few more questions and returned to the shelter.
She told Zhao Xian that she was going to go on a mission with him.
Wang Juanfeng: "No wonder Team 2 said they would put today's patrol on hold and change shifts. It turns out they are selecting people to go out on missions. Do you want to go too? But it's too dangerous outside."
She had witnessed their brutality when they were carrying out their missions. The group she was with was the kind that had to fight against mutant creatures.
If they go outside now, there will definitely be many mutant creatures waiting for them.
Qiao Xuejun said calmly, "Yes, I'll go out and look for it. If I find something, I'll make a lot of money. Remember to plant some potatoes at home, and leave me an acre of land so I can plant peanuts."
Wang Juanfeng frowned: "I don't know what Lord Zhao is thinking. He wants to take you with him on such a dangerous mission. Isn't he afraid..."
She was complaining quickly, but stopped midway and said helplessly, "I hope everything goes well for you."
