Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The plantation staff in the base had already planted mushrooms, but the results were not satisfactory. After all, whether it was the environment or the equipment, it was much worse than before the apocalypse. The production had not been increasing, and only a few powerful people could eat mushrooms. Ordinary people could only rely on insect powder to fill their stomachs. They could not even eat coa.r.s.e grain more than a few times, let alone rare things like mushrooms. Du Yue knew that Zuo Mingdong had good intentions, but she still refused.

Thank you, Captain Zuo, but theres no need. 1 want to try it myself.

Zuo Mingdong did not try to persuade her anymore and just nodded. Alright, the three of you are smart people. As long as you want to do something, theres nothing you cant do. Then I wont worry about you. You can just plant it yourself at home. If theres anything you need, feel free to contact me.

After a simple farewell, Zuo Mingdong left with his men. Du Yue and He Xing sent them to the door. Just as they walked out, they saw the aunt next door coming over again. This time, the aunt went straight to Zuo Mingdong. Captain Zuo, why did you take the time to come over despite your busy schedule? 1 just saw you sent a lot of things to this courtyard. Did the base distribute them?

Zuo Mingdong frowned. Those things were exchanged for food. These bags are the food they gave. If you want the same things, 1 can exchange them for you. Just bring out some food.

When the aunt heard this, she looked in the direction that Zuo Mingdong was pointing at and indeed saw that the people behind him were each carrying a small bag of food.

The aunt smiled awkwardly. Look at what youre saying. Where am I going to get so much food?! Im just wondering how capable they are at such a young age. They havent been in the base for long, but they can already take out so much food to build a house

This is their own matter. It has nothing to do with you.

Captain Zuo, you misunderstood. I dont have any bad intentions. 1 just think that since were all living in the same base, if they have any good ways to get food, why dont they tell the base openly? That way, they can help us solve our food problem. Im just thinking for everyones sake!

The aunts words were dignified, but Zuo Mingdong did not buy it. The base has been trying to solve the problem of the residents food supply. If you really care about the people, why dont you take out a portion of your familys food supply and give it to those who cant eat? It can be considered as acc.u.mulating merit for yourself.

Zuo Mingdong was very clear about the little schemes in the aunts heart. She kept saying that she was thinking for everyones sake, but in fact, she just wanted to use this excuse to gain benefits for herself. Zuo Mingdong had never liked such a person who was full of tricks, so he spoke coldly.

The smile on the aunts face froze instantly. She could not react for a long time. There were a lot of things to do in the base, so Zuo Mingdong naturally did not have time to chat with her. After saying the last sentence, he left with his men.

Watching Zuo Mingdong and the others disappear into the thick fog, Du Yue and He Xing did not even bother to look at the aunt. They quickly turned around and returned to the courtyard.

He Xing closed the gate and whispered to Du Yue, This aunt will definitely cause trouble in the future.

Of course, Du Yue knew that the aunt would not live her life in peace, but she did not care. It doesnt matter. Well deal with whatever comes our way.

He Xing was not afraid that the aunt would do something to them in the future. He just gave Du Yue a little reminder. After all, she spent more time at home. However, their courtyard walls were installed with an electric fence.

When they first came back, they had checked the power grid. The power grid was intact and had been connected to electricity. If anyone were to barge in without knowing, they would definitely suffer a lot. Since Du Yue had finished her task, He Xing had to go and do his own things. After breakfast the next day, He Xing rode the bike out, while Du Yue watched a few hours of mushroom planting videos. In the past few days, she had watched dozens of videos and read a lot of books about planting mushrooms. Du Yue was quite confident, so she planned to start today.

Du Yue was about to push the door open when she saw Xia Ju walk out of her room. Only the two of them were in the house, so Xia Ju did not wear contact lenses or a wig. Her gaze was a little dull, and no one knew what she was thinking. Her long hair was also casually tied into a bun and hung loosely on her head. Du Yue had already seen Xia Ju when she was doing research, so she was not surprised to see her like this..
