Chapter 75

The cooperation between Fu Erdie and the base in City D is in full swing, and the title of "Butterfly Garden Director" has also spread to corners that no one has noticed.

In fact, in February, all the large and small teams of supernatural beings around City C had already noticed this group of special people in the Senyu community.

The reason was simple. The feat of clearing out 100,000 zombies that day and one million zombies in half a month really shocked the scattered soldiers and generals.

After three consecutive months of zombie cleanup, most of the zombies in the center of City C were dealt with, and the name of "Butterfly Director" became more and more famous. He was known to everyone in the dozens of supernatural groups, large and small, in City C.

If there were still a few scattered third-level psychics in the beginning who wanted to clash with Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao to see if they could take advantage of them, then later when Fu Erdie cleaned up the city center and all psychics could move freely in the city, everyone gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage of them.

What a bullshit! It's a sign of human nature that people don't rob you!

Fu Erdie is currently stuck with the community infrastructure and the cooperation with City D, and has not cleared the large areas of rural areas in the suburbs of the county outside the city center of City C. However, the population in these places is relatively scattered, and the supernatural people in City C can spread out in all directions little by little with the area where Fu Erdie is located as the center.

For them, living around Fuerdie is the safest.

But seeing that the director of the butterfly garden never took the initiative to greet them, we knew that he didn't like too many people hanging around.

They only dared to station in places 20 to 30 kilometers away from Senyu Community, such as the university town, the city center, or on several uninhabited mountains nearby.

Choose a good garrison point, transport the few remaining supplies, and then clean up the surrounding zombies in batches in a regular manner, making City C safer and cleaner.

In May, when Fu Erdie was too busy cleaning up the zombies in the districts and counties, these people had already cleaned up the zombies in the districts and counties.

As they were cleaning, they felt safe and relaxed, and when they met other people they would talk about the current situation in City C and the Butterfly Garden Director, a man whose supernatural powers were mysterious but very powerful.

In this way, the reputation of "Butterfly Garden Director" spread further and further.

Some people with special abilities and ordinary people with the support of people with special abilities heard these rumors and moved to the center of City C when they were desperate. They found that it was really as safe as others said, and then immediately returned to their original bases or gathering places, and asked those they had good relationships with to find a place to live in the center of City C as well.

These people are not like ordinary people outside the D City base. They are either capable of fighting alone, or they form groups to complement each other and have water, plant and space abilities. They do not have any major problems obtaining daily food and all they need is a safe place to settle down.

City C is safe now, no one is in charge, and there are no mandatory missions to complete. When you want to upgrade, you can go to the counties and districts to fight zombies. When you don’t want to upgrade, you can just stay in the city.

In any case, safety and food are guaranteed, and everyone feels much more at ease.

By the end of May, the psychics in City C who were running around fighting zombies and searching for supplies finally learned about the zombie tide in City D that had already occurred half a month ago.

Also known is the cooperation between the D City Base and the Butterfly Garden Director.

"City D is planning to build a power station in the butterfly garden that can generate electricity using natural energy?"

"The butterfly gardener can transform many plants that produce food every day?"

"The Butterfly Garden Director is a fifth-level psychic, and her gardener... no, his boyfriend is a fourth-level psychic?!!"

The pupils of everyone who heard the news trembled.

Mom, this world is so magical! It’s not easy for them to get ten crystal cores to upgrade to the second level, but the Butterfly Garden Director has actually reached the fifth level!!! This news should not be spread, but among the 221 newcomers brought back by Fu Erdie this time, there was one who made Fu Erdie look at wrongly. He hooked up with a sports student and wanted to live on the 16th floor without working and relying on the sports student to support him.

But the sports students don’t care, they really just want to support the people.

Fu Erdie: “…”

As expected, she is still a novice in infrastructure, and some systems and regulations still need to be sorted out to prevent some messy things from disrupting everyone's work order.

After personally visiting the D City base and humbly seeking advice from the people at the base, Fu Erdie initially established a series of regulations.

The first thing is the "salary" of the butterfly garden's internal employees and the daily task planning.

Both "old employees" such as sports students and new employees selected from refugees must work.

Ordinary people without special skills are allowed three kilograms of food per person per day. It is up to them to decide how much to use for eating and how much to store.

Everyone has the same workload but different appetites. Fu Erdie did not reduce the "salary" and arrange uniform meals, but assigned four people to be cooks for the new employees. If the new employees needed food, they would prepare their own food in advance and give it to the cooks.

The cook can cook according to the contents of each person's note.

Some people have the same recipe, such as mashed potatoes, so they can be stewed together in a big pot, and then the amount of food can be divided according to the different amounts each person gives to the kitchen.

The classification of cold cucumber, millet porridge, and white rice is similar.

As for foods like sweet potatoes, it is much simpler. Whoever's food belongs to them will own it. They will be steamed and distributed together.

It is indeed a bit troublesome to cook for more than 200 people in different categories, but we have tried to be as fair as possible.

If someone doesn't want to work, sorry, just kick them out.

If you want to rely on your partner and not work, that's fine, but just limit your area of ​​activity.

After all, now everyone, whether it is planting food in every building or building every floor, or the technical department doing research and development and building a power station, is doing real work. Every place in the entire community is a work area.

If you don't work, you can't get paid, you can't live in the staff dormitory, and you can only pay rent to live somewhere.

You want to live in your partner's staff dormitory? Sorry, that is a staff dormitory and an important workplace. How can anyone enter and exit the 16th floor of Building No. 7 casually?

The second rule given by Fu Erdie is: If there is a need to start a family or fall in love, and one party is in an important position in the Butterfly Garden and the other is in a non-core layer, if they want to live together, they must go to a non-main area where the person with the lower position is, or pay to rent a house.

People like athletes who live in the core area of ​​the 16th floor want to live with their girlfriends, but their girlfriends do not live in the core layer of the Butterfly Garden. In that case, the two of them must live together where the girlfriends live, completely separating the living place and the office place. They cannot bring their girlfriends to live on the 16th floor which is more like an office.

Now, the girlfriend of the athlete has no job and no place to live, so she can only pay for rent.

Fu Erdie divided Building No. 2 at the edge of the community into a rental area. The rented house, according to the area, costs 5 kilograms of food per square meter per month.

In other words, renting a 10-square-meter room would require 50 kilograms of food per month.

Can athletes afford this money?

I can afford it.

Because Fu Erdie's new salary package was to allow him to eat as much food as he wanted every day, plus 90 kilograms of food and a first-level crystal core per month.

After much hesitation, the athlete rented a small room of 12 square meters and paid 60 kilograms of food a month to let his "girlfriend" stay.

But after a week, the "girlfriend" left.

Because just like Fu Erdie said, all places in the community are work areas. Once she gives up her job, the only space she can move around is this small home or outside the community.

Although the zombies could no longer be seen with the naked eye, she did not dare to leave the community and could only stay at home.

Occasionally, when I wanted to go out and talk to others, as soon as I walked to the path area that was not from my home to the community gate, I would be tied up by the elusive Green Ivy and sent back to the rental house, and then report to Fu Erdie.

Fu Erdie would pass the report to the sports students, emphasizing that the activity areas for non-staff members were only the rental houses and the paths from the rental houses to the gates of the community, as well as outside the community.

After repeating this for a few days, the athlete’s “girlfriend” realized that it was not worth it.

Because of the companions who came with her, such as the child who took care of plants and picked fruits on the floor where she rented in Building No. 2, who used to be fed three kilograms of food a day, now have enough food and a good place to live, with electricity, water and air conditioning, and their mental and physical conditions have improved visibly.

What about her?

She was unkempt at home, had no electricity or food. Only at mealtime would the sports students come to deliver meals and bring her a bucket of water.

Suddenly, she felt that she was not the girlfriend of a superpower, but was in prison! She finally understood that the director of the butterfly garden just couldn't stand others not working, and wanted everyone to work hard!

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The next day, she found Fu Erdie and said that she wanted to start working again.

But Fu Erdie didn't want her, saying that they would only hire for a short-term worker once.

The athlete’s girlfriend felt like she was struck by lightning and burst into tears immediately. Later, when she returned home and waited for the athlete to see her, she cried and complained about Fu Erdie’s “bad attitude”.

However, it was fine when she didn't cry, but once she started crying and complaining about Fu Erdie's shortcomings, the athlete, who was originally hesitant, instantly made up his mind.

"We don't need to continue. You can go back to the gate of D City." The athlete pushed the man away from his arms, "I will give up the lease of this house tomorrow."

Athletes are simple-minded and straightforward.

But his "straightness" is different from Cao Yuanbai's "straightness".

He experienced the end of the world alone, escaped in a team he was not familiar with, and had a rough journey.

If there is a woman who comes to him seeking shelter, he can keep her as a supporter, or he can have multiple girlfriends.

But it is obvious that Fu Erdie does not welcome such people. Even if he accepts such a person who does not work for his sake, he will compress her space so that she can only move in a small range instead of setting a bad example everywhere.

If his girlfriend accepted such treatment calmly, then everything would be fine. But now she not only refused to accept it, but also tried to sow discord between them. What kind of reaction did she want him to have? He would never be so tactless as to offend the boss.

What's more, he didn't really like this so-called girlfriend whom he had only known for a few days.

Just because you feed a cat for a few days, why should you be responsible for her future life?

No need.

Pan Feizhou left without any explanation or hesitation, and ignored his girlfriend no matter how she cried and scolded him.

The next day, the woman went back to where she came from, and was taken to the gate of the base by the people from the D City base, where she blended in with the refugees again.

The experience of living in the community for just one week is like a dream.

She was afraid and hateful, and dared not do anything big. She only spoke ill of Fu Erdie in secret.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

They said she was mean, liked to torture women, and couldn't stand women having boyfriends.

They said she was stingy because she had an entire building with water and electricity where she could live like before the apocalypse, but they drove her to an abandoned building.

She is said to be a dictator. The entire butterfly garden listens to her and her words are final. Everyone is forced by Fu Erdie to follow her arrangements.

The more a woman talks, the more information others will know.

She was out of control and angry at her loss, but others focused on the fact that "the director of the butterfly garden is very capable and has the support of the people" and "the director of the butterfly garden can at least allow the people in one building to live a normal life."

As they followed the woman's lead in talking, they tried to get more information out of her. After a while, combined with the truckloads of plants shipped in from City C and the rumor in the city that one plant could feed a person, they finally painted a "complete" image of the butterfly garden director.

She owns a vast territory, where the houses have water and electricity, and are warm in winter and cool in summer.

She possessed fifth-order plant-related abilities, and the plants she produced could easily feed one or two people.

She has an arrogant personality and is a stickler for what she says. Everyone must listen to her, otherwise they will be driven away.

She is very kind and has a bottom line. She will only drive you away but will not kill you. So when you are with her, as long as you don't provoke her and follow her instructions, she will not deal with you or even take you seriously.

She was so powerful and arrogant! Ah, how she fits the image of a strong person in our imagination! The woman said bad things about Fu Erdie, but these bad words were passed on and completely distorted when they returned to her ears.

Woman: "..." I understand everything else, but kindness? She was driven away! Is this kindness? The psychics who passed by the D city base to do business or check the situation heard these rumors more or less, and then followed the convoy to C city, and took a look at the lush butterfly garden that looked like it was not in the human world, and the building made of grass and trees from afar.

Got it.

This is the world of the boss!

The psychics in City D learned about the existence of the Butterfly Garden.

The supernatural people in the central and northern regions gradually learned of the existence of the Butterfly Garden.

When several major bases were communicating information about the zombie tide, they also learned of Fu Erdie's existence.

Just like that, when Fu Erdie didn't notice it, she became popular in the circle of superpowers and left a deep impression in the hearts of all major bases.

A fifth-level psychic, the strongest among humans, turns out to be like this.

The D City base discovered that many people had been asking about the director of the butterfly garden recently. After some investigation, they found out that ordinary psychics had also discovered the treasure of Fu Erdie.

Just in case, the D City base contacted Fu Erdie that night.

Fu Erdie's unexpected information spread faster than she had imagined, but she accepted it calmly.

She won't stay here forever. She will go out and fight.

The abilities of a fifth-level psychic that she displayed in front of so many people could not be hidden far away, so there was no need to conceal it.

But in the future, I have to pay more attention to the safety of my family. The superpower team and the plants at home need to become stronger and stronger.

Only when we all become stronger together can we ensure that even if Fu Erdie, Sang Wenhao and even Fangzi, the strongest fighters, go out to fight, the rear area can be stabilized and will not be bullied by others.

Fu Erdie touched the leaves of the green radish.

I still have to find an opportunity to take all the plants in this house out to fight the zombies.

June.

A whole year has passed since the end of the world.

In winter, the flooding caused by high temperatures and rainfall has improved slightly, but it is visible to the naked eye that the water level of the Li River in City C is still very high.

Two days ago, the first batch of 8,000 ordinary mutant plants and 500 first-level intelligent mutant plants in Building No. 7 were delivered to the D City base. Under the overall framework of Professor Zhao, the people in the D City base quickly built a power generation network and large-scale power generation equipment centered on the roof of Building No. 6.

During the trial run yesterday, the top floor of Building No. 6 was successfully powered up and lit up.

Fu Erdie was very happy when she saw the lush greenery in the community and everyone working overtime with hope on their faces.

When others are busy, Fu Erdie and the team of superpowers are relatively idle.

Because the zombies in the surrounding area had been almost cleared out, Fu Erdie had nothing else to do except to practice his supernatural powers every day. He would take a patrol and find a gravel hillside to practice his supernatural powers. He didn't have any other work to do.

Fu Chenghong and Cao Bingqing were very busy. They were revising the details of the community regulations based on the suggestions of City D and the current situation of the community.

As for wages, since a crystal core is already quite rare for an ordinary psychic, the price given by the D City Base for the tasks given to psychics is generally one crystal core at a time.

The same is true for Fu Erdieding's basic salary.

However, this "salary" is only for people with special abilities, and it is hard to know how to measure it for ordinary people.

Neither Professor Zhao, Grandma Zhang Dongxuan, nor Cao Bingqing and her husband have special abilities, but they have a lot of important work to do every day.

Since they couldn't use crystal cores, what should they use as wages? Food?

But now everyone has no worries about food and there is no demand for food.

What is now called "paying wages" is more like issuing "food coupons."

Professor Zhao and his people were too lazy to collect and transport the food, so they just asked Cao Bingqing to record it and write a receipt.

Cao Bingqing thought about it again and again, and still felt that since his butterfly garden had no worries about food and drink, he should come up with something similar to "currency" and then plan the pricing of other materials besides food.

The first thing to be affected is salt, which is essential for our survival.

The city's population dropped sharply, and the remaining salt and seasonings were more than enough to meet the needs of hundreds of people. However, there was still a way to get salt. It would be too informal to come to the storage room to get it when needed.

So either a portion of salt is distributed every month, or a price is set for the salt and it is exchanged for currency of a certain value that can circulate in the butterfly garden.

Secondly, clothes, quilts, fabrics, and needlework. These involve a person's clothing and shelter, and are also more comfortable items to pursue after meeting basic food needs.

Third, other seasonings besides salt.

In addition, Cao Bingqing was still thinking about the water and electricity bills. After all, whether it was the house or the power station that would generate electricity with supernatural powers after it was built, it would involve the issue of supernatural power consumption. If people used it without restraint, they would definitely be very tired.

Electricity and water charges can be used as constraints to let everyone know that it is not free, at least they should have some idea of ​​it.

Cao Bingqing and Fu Chenghong pondered the matter together, consulted people at the D City base from time to time, and even asked their daughter and son-in-law to take them to find books related to currency for systematic study. Finally, at the end of June, they came up with a relatively reasonable currency system.

First of all, the material of the currency itself was determined. It was some intelligent mutated nuts specially planted on the 16th floor, including chestnuts and pine nuts.

The chestnuts and pine nuts they produce can have specially designed special patterns that serve as anti-counterfeiting marks.
