Chapter 61 The Only Way Out
Mu Jiu calculated in his heart that this amount of fruit might not be enough.
At that time, we will have to transplant a few fruit trees to the hillside lawn in the space to ensure a sustainable supply of fruit.
After thinking about it this way, Mu Jiu felt a lot more at ease.
Facing Qi Nian's gaze, he was still eagerly waiting for Mu Jiu's answer about the future and compensation of his people in half a month.
When has Qi Nian, the agricultural product tycoon of Hui City, ever been so humble!
Although the entire planting base belongs to Qi Nian, this group of people dare not enter the greenhouse to pick vegetables.
After exploring these few days after the end of the world, they probably summed up their experience - these monsters are afraid of sunlight!
They can go out during the day and humans are basically safe under the sun, but they cannot enter indoors where there is no sunlight.
When night falls, you absolutely dare not run around anymore, or you might become one of the monsters if you are not careful.
On the night of the apocalypse, none of the large trucks that usually traveled back and forth to the planting base returned.
Now even mobile phones and other communication tools cannot be used.
Qi Nian and his companions also tried to take the fruits out to exchange for food, but those who went out never came back.
Something must have happened. If they could really exchange it for food, they would definitely find a way to come back and continue transporting the fruit out.
The people left behind wandered around outside the greenhouse like headless flies for several days, and they were also hungry for several days...
Their efforts were fruitless, which meant that they had nothing to eat except the fruits in the orchards on the mountain.
All the ways to survive are blocked, and now Mu Jiu is the only rope for survival, so the right to set the rules lies with Mu Jiu.
Mu Jiu is not the kind of person who would eat meat without even leaving some soup for others.
Although we are living in the end times, we cannot be soft-hearted when it comes to grabbing resources.
But the real enemy, after all, is another species - weird, not humans themselves.
What humans should do most is to unite and face the outside world in a united way.
There are thousands of acres of greenhouses here, which can produce at least 3 to 4 million kilograms of vegetables. It is not too much to leave some for these people to fill their stomachs.
"Well, I can promise you that after the transaction is completed, I will show you a way to save your life and seek refuge.
Then I'll help you pick 2,000 kilograms of vegetables to take with you. What do you think?" Mu Jiu said.
"I want 10,000 kilograms." Qi Nian said.
Mu Jiu raised her eyebrows. He was really not polite to her and was even bargaining for the price!
If these people were smart, they could push down the greenhouse and let sunlight into the shed, so that the monsters would not be able to survive.
Unfortunately, these people don’t understand, so Mu Jiu naturally won’t take the initiative to bring it up.
Mu Jiu was not surprised, because this was originally the boss's business, so ten thousand pounds was ten thousand pounds.
But she had a condition, “I can promise you 10,000 kilograms, but your people must guarantee the variety and quality of my fruit.
Of the 1,000 kilograms per person per day, 500 kilograms of apples and 300 kilograms of oranges are required, and the rest is optional, all according to this ratio."
There are many kinds of fruits in the mountains, but for daily consumption, apples and oranges are the best, as they are rich in water, vitamins and dietary fiber.
"Then I also have requirements for my 10,000 jin (approximately 5,000 jin) of beans, 3,000 jin of potatoes, and 2,000 jin of cabbage."
Seeing Mu Jiu's attitude, Qi Nian was not polite and continued to add.
Quite tricky!
As a doctor, Mu Jiu knew that Boss Qi was trying his best to balance nutrition.
Beans and potatoes contain a lot of protein and vitamins, so your fate will not be strangled by these small foods for the time being.
"Alright, since you're an expert, I'll satisfy you! You can leave now. Bring the fruit here before dark and settle the bill."
Mu Jiu said as he continued to sit back in his seat and ate the rice and meat in the bowl.
Mu Jiu and her group finished harvesting the cabbages in the morning, and in the afternoon they started picking tomatoes according to the arrangement of the greenhouse.
This is a large, delicious, tender and juicy local pink tomato.
The average yield per mu is 10,000 to 18,000 jin, with a total of about 100 mu.
Mu Jiu took the lead, picking and eating at the same time, it was so comfortable!
After picking tomatoes in one afternoon, Mu Jiu’s space warehouse had about 1.5 million kilograms more tomatoes!
When it was getting dark, Qi Nian sent an unfamiliar younger brother to deliver a message. This man had not accompanied Qi Nian to the place at noon.
"Boss Mu, Boss Qi wants you to go to the land temple at the foot of the mountain to inspect the goods and make the transaction!"
Land God Temple? Mu Jiu didn't say anything when she heard it. It seemed that she was right. There really was a patron saint.
Xiao Huang asked, "Didn't we agree to send it over? Why are you asking us to go over there again?"
I looked around and wondered:
"I'm sorry, Boss Mu, it's getting dark, and those things should be out soon!
Boss Qi said that we can't run around anymore, so he sent me here to inform you.
He said the fruits were ready, but it would take a lot of time to transport tens of thousands of kilograms of fruits.
You must be looking for a place to stay overnight. Boss Qi asked me to come over and invite your people to come with you.
There are protective barriers around the land temple to prevent those things from getting close.
If Boss Mu doesn't mind, please stay over there for the night! Okay, okay...please help them settle today's bill..."
The younger brother spoke the last sentence haltingly, sniffing his nose after finishing it, looking like a skinny monkey and pitiful.
Everyone looked at Mu Jiu, waiting for her decision.
Mu Jiu dusted himself off, stood up from the muddy ground, and said with a smile:
"Let's go, there's a safe place, why not go!"
Then, they packed their bags and followed their younger brother towards the foot of the mountain.
The place where Mu Jiu and the others had just stood was not far from the land temple.
The distance from west to east takes at least ten minutes to walk, and that's even if you speed up.
"Boss Mu, let's go faster! It's getting dark!" The younger brother was anxious and kept urging him.
But no one can withstand the sun setting!
The sky became dark immediately...
The younger brother, who had originally quickened his pace and was trying to move forward, gradually slowed down his pace and tried to get closer to Mu Jiu and the others to give himself more courage!
Mu Jiu followed slowly behind. It was already dark, so he just walked slowly!
She looked at the younger brother who was leading the way. Although his skin was a little rough from years of sun exposure, he didn't seem to be very old.
Especially those big eyes, so clean and clear, like a minor!
She couldn't help but ask, "How old are you?"
Mu Jiu's voice scared the little brother. He took the opportunity to walk in a row with Mu Jiu and no longer rushed in front alone.
Because on the road not far ahead, you can faintly see some shadows swaying!
"Boss Mu, I'm turning 17 and turning 18 this year. Once November is over, I'll be 18!"
Mu Jiu was stunned. "Your planting base still recruits child laborers?"
"No, no, no!" The younger brother waved his hands hurriedly, "Boss Mu, please don't misunderstand me, our Boss Qi is a good man!
If he hadn't paid to contract the fields in our village, built greenhouses to develop a planting base, and asked the villagers to help, our lives would not be as good as they are now.
My sister and I are orphans in the village. Boss Qi feels sorry for us and usually provides us with two meals in the cafeteria.
I came here to help out because I felt bad. I'm not a worker here! Please don't sue him!"
