Hearing the man's firm tone, the female staff member didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she changed her topic and said:
"Okay, now that we've finished the inspection and have seen the tomatoes you like, is it time to get off work?"
“It’s not over yet.”
"Why isn't it over yet?"
Before the woman could finish her words, she saw the man had already reached out and picked two of the three tomatoes that were almost perfect in shape, color and feel.
"Come, try it."
The man handed a tomato to his female colleague and smiled at her helpless expression.
"Didn't expect that?"
Who could have thought of this?
No, you were saying these tomatoes were perfect one second, and you were going to eat them the next?
In just a moment, several complaints flashed through the woman's mind, but she finally decided to ask honestly.
"How...how did you pick it? Such a perfect tomato..."
The woman felt that her colleague was a little crazy. If she had to put it bluntly, it was like a madman who saw a beautiful woman at his grandmother's funeral and killed his grandfather that day in order to see the beautiful woman again.
“It’s because it’s perfect.”
The man said excitedly:
"Over the next two weeks, they'll get bigger and bigger, and their shape will gradually become... ugly, vulgar, and not the way I like it.
“So it is better to pick it while it is the most beautiful time and keep the beauty in your mouth and stomach forever.
"It's your destiny to be with me today, so try this."
This reason is barely acceptable.
The woman nodded, watched the man eat the tomato, and put the round fruit into her mouth.
“It’s a bit sour.”
"Of course it is, because it is not ripe."
Both of them had their facial muscles twitching a little, but they still ate all the rare supply of vegetables.
This is a genuine good thing that you may not be able to buy even if you have money outside.
These soilless grown plants and vegetables are the property of a certain congressman. The best ones will be supplied to congressmen and senior officials, and the rest will be sold in the form of fresh or dried vegetables.
Of course, the best part of the batch is now in the stomachs of both of them.
"Why did you keep one?"
The woman asked, looking at the last remaining tomato.
"Because I need seeds."
The man said as a matter of course:
"Such beautiful tomatoes should be passed down. I believe that as long as the roundest tomatoes are selected as seeds in each generation, the tomatoes will become rounder as they grow up."
"That makes sense, that makes sense, that's great, can I leave work now?"
"Of course, I have to get off work too."
The woman had no interest in pursuing the issue, and the two soon left the greenhouse.
El emerged from the wall again, and he noticed that each plant rack had a corresponding plant name and number.
He came to the place where the man had just left the tomato, and his mouth watered as he looked at the bright red spherical fruit.
But El knew that things had priorities, and this was not the time for him to get busy.
If we eat this key target now, he will behave himself when he is discovered.
After much thought, he chose a tomato that looked a little sick.
This plant is located in a corner of the plant rack on the other side. It looks lifeless, as if it has lost the competition for light with its peers.
Even so, it produced two fruits.
Looking at the branches bent by the fruits, El subconsciously felt compassion.
Poor little thing, let me help you.
Soon, in the underground greenhouse, there appeared a sickly tomato plant standing upright and a young boy whose facial expression was distorted by the sourness.
After this little episode, El decided to continue exploring.
The underground area was much larger than he had imagined. The floor where the greenhouse was located alone had an extremely complex structure.
After two hours of exploration, El roughly figured out the structural division of this layer.
This underground area as a whole is composed of four concentric circles.
The innermost small circle is the work area for the technicians. Even when it is night outside, there are still some people in white coats staying in front of the instruments.
The three circles, from small to large, cultivate edible fungi, vegetables, trees and bamboo respectively.
Although the existence of some things shocked and confused El, he still wrote down everything honestly.
This is the legendary underground farm...it has so many tricks.
El felt that he had really broadened his horizons tonight.
At the same time, he was also curious about the areas below.

At the same time, at a sewer entrance in the southern part of the inner city, Shi Jin, fully armed, crawled out cursing.
She tore off the gas mask covering her face, looked at the night scene around her, and felt like cursing.
That boy is a complete liar.
It was good enough that I didn't exercise my temporary law enforcement power to teach this guy a lesson, but I didn't expect that he would actually lie to me!
I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is good at making people tell the truth, so they should arrest him and send him there!
As Shi Jin was thinking this, he suddenly realized a problem.
The boy showed no surprise at the suggestion that there might be people living in the sewers.
And when it comes to random questions like this, micro-expressions and subconscious reactions cannot deceive people.
Shi Jin suddenly realized that he was not completely empty-handed. If there really were people living underground, then that young man must know something.
Under this premise, there is only one reason why the other party would deceive you, and that is that they are in the same group!
In other words, I might have been very close to my destination a few hours ago...
Thinking of this, Shi Jin's eyes lit up again.
Once you put on the mask, no one will love you!
Shi Jin turned around and went into the sewer again.
Near a sewer exit, which was only five kilometers away in a straight line but actually close to ten kilometers away, Luke was packing his junk.
As a genuine homeless man, he quickly left the base after deciding to move away.
Doing things with a purpose often achieves twice the result with half the effort. Some things that were previously ignored by himself now always catch Luke's attention.
He gradually discovered that if he just wanted to live, it didn't seem that difficult.
There are very few construction sites and ruins in the inner city, and some suitable hiding places will always randomly appear near these areas.
After just a walk around, Luke decided where he would move to. Maybe he would only stay there for two or three days, but it was enough as a temporary residence. After all, the sewers would be searched soon, and he had to leave quickly.
Looking at the faint moonlight at the sewer exit, Luke roughly determined the time.
It was already late in the morning for November, and Luke thought for a moment and decided that he could move at least twice tonight.
Taking advantage of the night, he used his glowing energy arm to lift the tattered luggage and began the first move.
