"Delicious, crisp and sweet with a fragrant aroma."
Each person ate only one, and secretly put the rest into their pockets.
When the three researchers saw the simple planting conditions and methods, they were filled with a mixture of relief and curiosity.
I'm glad I used my points to buy it, so I didn't miss the opportunity; what's intriguing is that fruit can grow in this environment, and most importantly, the growth cycle is short.
If the growth cycle is too long, and the fruit hasn't grown by the time the extreme cold ends, then what value does it have?
If the base doesn't return points to them in the future, they can still make money selling fruit and seedlings.
As the three of them emerged from the agricultural research institute, Bai Jiu exclaimed excitedly, "Miss, I never imagined that monkey fruit seeds and vines could be exchanged for so many points!"
Bai Shuang nodded, "Of course, this is a unique fruit from the extremely cold region."
Then the older boy led them around the base to see the layout of the entire Dragon City base.
First, I took them to the wealthy area. We saw a villa complex with guards at the gate, checking IDs for entry and exit.
Luxury cars come and go from time to time, and men and women wearing various leather coats and high-end cotton coats appear to be coming and going. It seems that the natural disasters of the past two years have not had much impact on them.
The boy, along with Bai Shuang, two others, and a dog, passed by the villa area and glanced inside.
"This is where the rich live. I heard the environment is exceptionally nice, and everything is exquisite. It's a pity we can't go in."
The group looked inside and prepared to leave. Just as they were about to take a step forward, they heard the gatekeeper speak.
"A bunch of poor bastards, what are you looking in there for? You've never seen the world before, get lost!"
The snow leopard sensed that what the other party said was bad and was about to pounce when Bai Chang pulled it back.
Big boy: "You..."
Bai Shuang, who had been called a poor wretch, pierced the gatekeeper with a poisoned needle. The gatekeeper, who was about to speak, suddenly stopped, his eyes widened in fear as he stared at her.
Without an antidote, he will never be able to speak again.
Bai Shuang didn't want to cause trouble. If she made a scene here, she would cause a lot of trouble in no time. This person had a foul mouth. If he couldn't speak in the future, he might live longer.
Bai Jiu angrily said, "Who do you think you are? Just because you're a doorman here, you think you've risen from humble beginnings to become a phoenix."
The little incident didn't affect their mood; all sorts of people come and go, and we're used to it.
As I turned a corner, I saw another notice about Dr. Zoe seeking medical treatment.
Ten thousand points is quite a lot; it can be exchanged for two thousand catties of grain. In this apocalyptic world where food and clothing are scarce, it's enough for one person to eat for six or seven years. It's indeed tempting.
But is Baishuang lacking food?
She will find ways to earn money, but she must do so in a proper way. From the young master Zuo's behavior and the Zuo family's notice seeking medical treatment, it can be seen that the Zuo family only spends money when seeking medical treatment, without any attitude of begging or respect for doctors.
Bai Jiu: "Miss, this family is very arrogant. We won't help them."
Bai Shuang nodded. Given the current situation, she wouldn't help. There was no need to ask why; it was a matter of principle for a doctor.
The base is very large. The next area we'll be visiting is a mid-level residential area, where people can make a decent living and afford to rent or buy small houses.
This is also a residential community, and there are security guards at the exit, but they are all nice, and the previous situation has not happened again.
They got tired as they walked, and they were also hungry. They couldn't take out any food from the White Frost Space, but there was a restaurant not far away. The group led the snow leopard into the restaurant.
This is a casual restaurant, so there aren't many formalities. They let the big boy come in to eat too. Of course, he can't sit at the same table as Bai Shuang and the others; he has to sit at a separate table.
This restaurant didn't have the expensive vegetables and meats from yesterday's restaurant. Instead, it had more cold-weather potato dishes, French fries, stewed potatoes, hot and sour shredded potatoes, noodles, rice, steamed buns, etc.
There was vegetable soup, but the soup was so clear that only a few specks of green floated on top.
Bai Shuang and the others ordered a serving of fries, a serving of hot and sour shredded potatoes, a bowl of rice each, and a bowl of vegetable soup.
I ordered a bowl of rice and stewed potatoes for the older boy.
The snow leopard can only eat its dog food; goat milk cannot be taken out here, and White Frost doesn't want to attract too much attention.
Upon seeing that there were no chicken legs or even goat milk, the snow leopard turned its head away.
"It's delicious. I'll make it up to you when we get back."
That's more like it.
Bai Shuang felt that she had spoiled this guy too much by always feeding him good food and drink.
After the meal, the group continued their exploration, this time visiting the slums.
The three people and the dog came into view and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
There are rows of large tents here, inhabited by people who have almost nothing. The young man explained that accommodation here is free.
Moreover, people without jobs get a free lunch every day. No matter how good or bad the food is, or how much or how little they are given, they will never starve.
Those who are capable can go out to work to earn points to buy food.
Those with a little more money can rent a simple hut next door, but they have to pay for heating in the hut themselves, while the coal for the stove in the tent is provided free of charge by the base.
It's actually quite humane. In the apocalypse, resources are scarce. People without resources would starve or freeze to death if they were still outside.
There aren't many people around right now; those who went to work haven't returned yet.
In the entire base's accommodation area, based on the number of people, slum dwellers account for 60%, ordinary people's areas account for more than 30%, and although the villa area occupies a relatively large area, the number of people there is less than 10%.
This is normal. There are naturally fewer people at the top of the pyramid. The gap between rich and poor will always exist. It is understandable that capable people live well.
Bai Shuang and the others glanced at it a few times and then left. They had only come to take a look and wanted to learn about the base.
The base area is very large, and you can't walk very far in a day. It was getting late, so I gave the boy two packs of instant noodles, made plans to continue tomorrow, and went back to the hotel.
The group entered the house, took off their heavy coats, carefully checked the room, found nothing unusual, took a shower to relax, and then released the Monkey King to make some noise.
As soon as it came out, it fawned over White Frost and petted it until it was satisfied. The snow leopard saw this and got a little jealous. It ran over and pushed the monkey king away.
Then the two bared their teeth at each other.
"Alright, alright, let's eat."
The hotel isn't a good place for strong-smelling food, so let's just have dumplings, a couple of plates of cold dishes, and some seaweed and egg drop soup. That should be enough.
After eating a dumpling, Bai Jiu sighed, "Every meal in our family is delicious."
After the meal, the three chatted and ate fruit when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Bai Shuang quickly put away the Monkey King and the fruit, and Bai Jiu went to open the door. It was a waiter.
"Someone downstairs is looking for you."
Bai Shuang doesn't remember knowing anyone here.
"What's your name?"
"He said he was Butler Zuo."
Yesterday at the restaurant, Young Master Zuo already knew that Bai Shuang was at the Dragon City base. With the Zuo family's capabilities, they could easily find out where she was hiding with a little investigation.
Bai Shuang gently shook her head. Bai Chang understood and turned to tell the waiter, "Please tell him that my young lady is already resting."
