Chapter 359 She Arrived at Dawn
Suddenly someone patted Zhao Li on the shoulder. She turned her head and saw a woman several people away, stretching out her arm to pat her a few times.
Seeing her look over, the woman smiled and said, "Oh? We meet again. I'm the accountant who's behind you in line. I didn't expect we'd be in the same car. My name is Lin Jia. What's yours?"
Zhao Li smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Li. You passed the interview too, that's great!"
Lin Jia stood up, switched places with the person next to her, and squeezed next to Zhao Li. "Yeah, we're going to Dawn Base soon. I heard that you can grow things there, there's an endless supply of food, and all kinds of crops. I'm already looking forward to it."
Zhao Li nodded, "I'm also looking forward to it. I've only heard good things from people before, but I don't know the specifics of Dawn Base. I hope it's a safe haven."
Lin Jia said dreamily, "I can't think that far ahead. As long as I can have something to eat and be full, any place is a good place."
As the two women chatted, the other women in the carriage joined in.
"I saw online that Dawn Base was ruthless and killed many superhumans from Bear Base. People online don't know the situation. Those superhumans deserved to die. None of them were innocent."
“Those who criticize Dawn Base are all blind. Dawn Base is actually very considerate. I was the only one in my family who passed the test to join Dawn Base, but my family wasn’t abandoned. They were in another vehicle and went to Dawn Base with us.”
Someone asked, "Can your family members come with you to Dawn Base?"
"Of course not, but Dawn Base said there's a small settlement on the edge of the base where families can live. If we perform well within the base and make any contributions or outstanding honors, our families can be brought into Dawn Base as a reward. That's great."
"Yes, yes, I also heard that we are treated very well in the base. If we save money, we can support our families outside. We don't need to worry too much. As long as we are associated with the Dawn Base, everything will go in a good direction."
"There is no place in the world more peaceful than Dawn Base."
They huddled in the small carriage, filled with hope and dreams for Dawn Base and for the life to come.
Even though they had seen videos of Dawn Base online and heard from others how wonderful it was, when they actually arrived at Dawn Base, everyone was still speechless with shock.
The vehicle stopped at the edge of the base, the door opened, and they got out. The wind outside was cold, but when they saw the scenery before them, they were so shocked that they felt as if they had lost the world, their eyes filled only with the beauty before them.
Looking at the scenery before her, Zhao Li almost forgot to breathe, let alone feel the cold.
Ahead lay a lush green field, with vibrant green crop seedlings sprouting from the moist earth.
These crops seem to have been planted not long ago, only reaching ankle height, a lush green that stretches as far as the eye can see, with no end in sight.
You can clearly see the blazing sun above the farm, people working in the green fields, and the ruins of villages in the distance.
Such a scene is truly impactful.
Beneath their feet lay white frozen ground, and the heavy snowflakes seemed to fall without stopping, accumulating a thin layer of snow on the ground.
But before them, it was like springtime, with bright sunshine and vibrant life. Even the people working in the fields were only wearing thin coats, as if their world was springtime and they weren't cold at all.
Such a stark contrast and sense of dissonance made them wonder if what they were seeing was an illusion.
Yet it looked so real; they could even smell the fragrance of plants.
Someone was organizing things: "See that gathering area over there? Families can go there to be resettled. We suggest building along the edge of the base; the warm air emanating from the base will dispel some of the cold."
Those who pass the interview will come with me to the base. We will assign you farmland, and you will work hard to cultivate it and develop your own business. The profits you earn will be enough to support your families. Your future life will be something you create for yourself.
Zhao Li had no family left. She looked around and saw people queuing up to buy something in the distance. They were all looking at her with extreme envy.
You can live in the Dawn Base! Who wouldn't be envious?
When Zhao Li stepped into the Dawn Base, her shock reached its peak.
She discovered that the farm grounds were indeed not cold, but rather as comfortable as springtime.
This is a completely independent world, unrelated to the outside world.
Now she was even more certain of what a wonderful place she had come to.
This is truly the Dawn Base. She has truly found the dawn, and from now on, she can live a fulfilling and stable life under the protection of the Dawn Base.
She was settled in a slightly remote village, quite far from the castle town, but fortunately she became neighbors with Lin Jia, whom she had just met, and was allocated two acres of land and a simple courtyard.
She can go to the village entrance to borrow some seeds, cultivate them in her own field, and then pay back the debt after the harvest.
She planted vegetables in one corner and wheat in the rest, because she wanted to eat white steamed buns.
At the same time, he also planted some flowers and fruits in his yard.
The next thing she needs to do is wait for these plants to mature so that she can have plenty of vegetables and fruits to eat.
When she has the chance in the future, she will raise some chickens and ducks, and her life will get better and better.
She squatted by her field, looking at the already sown crops, feeling a mix of emotions.
She saw the dawn; she came to the dawn.
Lin Jia walked over from a distance and called out to her, "Zhao Li, I found a clump of wild vegetables at the entrance of the village. I asked the villagers, and they said we can pick them and eat them, just don't waste them. Let's go pick some wild vegetables and make vegetable soup today?"
Zhao Li stood up. "Okay, you don't know, I really love eating vegetables now. Let alone vegetables, I can even eat a bunch of grass with relish."
"Who can argue with that? We've been starving for so long, now I wouldn't even waste a single blade of grass. And when the harvest comes, we'll be able to eat even more delicious food."
As the two walked and talked, they hadn't gone far when they heard a rustling sound behind them.
The two turned around in confusion, their pupils dilating instantly, their expressions one of utter disbelief.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, that's terrifying."
They saw that in the fields where the seeds had been sown not long ago and had not yet sprouted, the seeds suddenly sprouted, grew, and in the blink of an eye, they blossomed and bore fruit, and were ready for harvest.
In the blink of an eye, the once barren fields have become a scene of abundant harvest.
Even though the farm was already amazing, the scene before them was beyond their comprehension, giving them a sense of their worldview collapsing.
The two women were so frightened that they ran into the village. Only after hearing the villagers' explanation did they accept the reality with horror.
"Is the base commander's strength really that terrifying?"
"She can create such a large farm in an instant. How powerful is she? She's amazing."
