Natural disasters are coming: the space is busy with stockpiling and farming

Chapter 107 Inquiry into the Research Institute

At this time, the people gathered by the base to gather wild vegetables were all waiting at the entrance of the mountain. They formed a long queue in an orderly manner, and no one dared to speak.

Jiang Sheng and Su Chen also hurried over and stood at the end of the line.

Not long after, two guards with guns arrived, presumably to monitor their work.

The guard's back was straight, and the gun on his waist looked real. The survivors who came to pick wild vegetables did not even have the courage to look up.

They have their own way of coming here to pick wild vegetables. After all, this job is cleaner than cleaning toilets and easier than building city walls.

After getting this hard-won opportunity, no one wants to be kicked out because of making a mistake.

The guard opened the electrified protective fence, and everyone stepped in cautiously and received a large sack from the guard.

"I see there are new faces, I'll say yes first.

This job is not something you can do casually. If anyone is lazy and refuses to work, or pretends not to know how to pick some inedible wild vegetables.

Then don’t blame us for not being merciful."

A slightly skinny guard pinched his waist and shouted, and the survivors below hurriedly responded.

"As long as you know, gather at the door when it gets dark. If someone doesn't pick enough wild vegetables, they will bear the consequences."

After the words fell, the survivors hurriedly climbed up the mountain and groped upwards along the slightly steep mountain road.

Jiang Sheng and Su Chen were prepared in advance. They read popular science books for a long time before coming, and they were quite comfortable picking wild vegetables.

The two of them were fast and strong, and the sacks in their hands soon gained some weight.

Seeing the rapid progress of the two, some survivors behind them hurriedly speeded up, fearing that the wild vegetables they found would be snatched away by others again.

If you fail to complete the task, the consequences will not be good.

Jiang Sheng stuffed the vegetables in his hand into the sack, turned around and looked at the research institute down the mountain.

The surroundings are heavily guarded, and they are not easy to deal with. Even if you want to sneak into the research institute, you must be fully prepared.

"There are a lot of eyes around the institute, and there are even several surveillance cameras."

Su Chen had good eyesight and discovered many cameras hidden among the branches of trees and in the grass.

Jiang Sheng uprooted the wild vegetables and said: "After all, it is the ultimate secret of the base. The defense must be extremely strict. It is best to fully understand the security situation here before taking action."

The sack in his hand became heavier and heavier, filled to the brim with wild vegetables, and even dropped from his hand.

It was still very bright at this time, and there were nearly a hundred survivors who had gone up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. They were all scattered around with sacks.

They naturally discovered what Jiang Sheng and Su Chen had harvested. They looked at the still sky and smacked their lips uncomfortably.

"We have collected almost everything. Let's go down and hand these things to the guards, and get some information by the way."

Su Chen took the sack from Jiang Sheng's hand, put it on his shoulders easily, and the two of them went down the mountain one after the other.

The guard at the foot of the mountain had sharp eyes and immediately saw the two of them. He threw the water bottle in his hand behind his back and said, "Have you two finished picking?"

Su Chen placed two sacks of wild vegetables on the ground: "Yes, please check them."

The two guards were a little surprised and hurriedly came over to check the quality.

Somewhat unexpectedly, most of these wild vegetables have flat roots and leaves and have not been pulled out.

I pulled open the upper layer and looked at the wild vegetables on the lower layer. Although they were a little shriveled by the pressure, they were still in good condition.

“It’s amazing, it’s fast and the quality is good.”

The guard gave a thumbs up and stood the wild vegetables on a nearby tree trunk.

"You can't leave until others come down. You two can rest for a while."

The guard patted the stone beside him, and the eleven and two people sat down.

Su Cheng's hands were full of dirt. He sat on the stone uncomfortably and started talking to the guard.

"I don't know what to call you two?"

The skinny guard no longer looked as majestic as when he went up the mountain, but now he seemed to be very talkative.

"My name is Dashan, and his name is Erzhu. We are brothers. Just call us brother."

Jiang Sheng hurriedly handed each of them a piece of candy: "I found two candies before coming to the base. I have to show off when I call you brother, right?"

The two pillars of Dashan looked at each other and took the toffee from Jiang Sheng's unclean hand.

Erzhu was a bit fatter, and his eyes became slits when he smiled: "Thank you, sister, I just came home and gave it to my daughter. She used to love this the most."

Jiang Sheng waved his hand: "This is what it should be."

Su Chen took the opportunity to speak: "We saw this house outside when we came here. Is it the research institute that our base is famous for?"

Dashan put the candy into his pocket: "Yes, those who can work there are all powerful people."

Jiang Shengzhuang said enviously: "It's great. If I can work here, I won't have to squeeze in that small house anymore."

Erzhu sighed: "Don't think about it, there are some very capable big shots in the institute!

They are very strict in recruiting people, and ordinary people cannot get in."

Dashan hurriedly answered: "Yes, my wife was a university professor before, mainly studying biology, and even the research institute refused to accept her!"

"Then what kind of people do they accept? My wife and I will also go for an interview to see if we can take care of food and housing."

Su Chen threw out the words as if he were joking, making the two pillars of Dashan laugh again and again.

"It's not impossible to give it a try. I heard that all the interns sent out by the institute recently died outside. Now we are short of people."

Erzhu pursed his lips: "I heard that the deaths were quite tragic, and there were quite a lot of them. I should be more relaxed when recruiting new people this time, right?

You both look quite young, college students, right?

It’s not impossible to give it a try. If you can apply successfully, you won’t have to live so exhaustingly anymore.”

The four people chatted without saying a word. The sky quickly became gloomy and the cold wind began to blow.

The survivors on the mountain all came down shivering, and the sacks in their hands were a little heavy.

Dashan Erzhu changed his amiable attitude during the conversation, his face instantly turned cold, and he began to check everyone's picking status.

Some people stuffed weeds at the bottom to make up the money, some people only carried half the bag, and some people accidentally rolled down the mountain while trying to pick a wild vegetable, leaving their bodies covered with scars.

Those whose quality was not up to standard were ordered to go up the mountain to collect enough items before coming back down. However, the gate to the mountain pass must have been locked by then, so they could only spend the night on the mountain.

Those who passed the test took a long breath, took two kilograms of white flour and 300ml of water from the car at the door and went home.

Everyone is very satisfied that they can earn so much in just one afternoon's work.

If a group of people wanted to return to an ordinary residential area, they would definitely have to pass through the wealthy area. Their clothes were all in tatters and they were all dirty.

It is in sharp contrast to the exquisite young men and ladies on the streets in wealthy areas.

Everyone's head was bowed deeply, but they still couldn't avoid being pointed at by people in the wealthy area.

Jiang Sheng and Su Chen have nothing to be ashamed of. Their lives are much better than this group of people, and there is nothing to envy.

A girl in a sky-high dress strode up and grabbed a woman who was picking wild vegetables.

"Did you know that the dirt on your hand just fell to the ground?

Lick it clean for me! This is in front of my house, it’s so disgusting!”
