Chapter 60 p2
On the other side
Ji Yang had already driven her assault boat and had taken her dog out of the community.
It was already past ten when she had woken up. The temperature was close to forty degrees, and the perceived temperature was even higher. She was still driving on the water, and her breathing seemed to be a little difficult.
So, after driving for only ten minutes, she had put the little wild boar, which was whimpering from the heat, back into its temporary little nest in her space. At the same time, she had also packed the remaining wild boar meat into a burlap sack, waiting for it to thaw naturally.
Then, she had started her daily tasks: collecting eggs, checking the number of each kind of poultry, and if it exceeded the budget, she would just kill it and feed the poultry in each area with feed or grass.
Ji Yang was already an old hand at collecting eggs. Her speed was fast and steady. One basket after another, all kinds of large and small eggs were picked up and placed in the static area. The poultry that had been killed were also placed there. The hoarding progress bar: +1 and then +1.
After she had finished her daily work, she had looked at the ten little piglets again. They had been temporarily placed in the pasture area. Now, they were small, and each one was only the size of a half-grown puppy. They didn’t have much of an impact on the pasture. But they were growing very fast. In just one night, Ji Yang had felt that they seemed to have grown a lot.
They ate well, drank well, had good living conditions, and had a large activity range. Pigs were very easy to grow meat, especially wild boars.
It was time to expand the breeding area.
Otherwise, if they grew a little bigger, and the pasture was ruined, the cattle, sheep, and rabbits’ rations would not be enough.
Now, the breeding area was three hundred square meters for the rabbits, which was enough, because Ji Yang was already controlling the rabbits’ breeding speed and was no longer letting them increase.
The button quail and quail were mixed, sharing one hundred and fifty square meters. They reproduced quickly and laid many eggs, and their number was also very large. After a reasonable clean-up, there were currently about two hundred of them, and their activity range was completely sufficient.
But the others were not.
Especially the pigs, which were too prolific, and they were the type with a lot of meat. She was still reluctant to kill them too early. If she wasn’t careful, the sow would get pregnant again. In a range of two hundred and fifty square meters, it was really crowded.
Secondly, there were the chickens, ducks, and geese, which also had a fast breeding speed. Their living space was the smallest, so Ji Yang also strictly controlled their numbers and would never be greedy for more. A single population was about a hundred, with more than sixty ducks, and the number of geese was the smallest, with more than thirty.
The number of cattle and sheep was much smaller. So far, after two rounds of reproduction, there were ten cattle and seventeen sheep. A range of about two hundred square meters was completely sufficient, and they could even run two steps occasionally.
If she wanted to expand, other things would naturally have to be reduced.
Now, the largest was the medicinal herb area, four thousand five hundred square meters. It was just that the epidemic had not passed, and it could be said that no matter what kind of medicinal herb, it was scarce. She was reluctant to reduce too much. On the contrary, the staple food area of potatoes and sweet potatoes totaled one thousand three hundred and fifty square meters, about two mu of land.
These two things, basically, were harvested every three months. The yield of potatoes was large, and not only was the yield of sweet potatoes large, but there were also more places where it could be eaten. As long as it could fill the stomach, Ji Yang had not wasted a single bit and had stored them all in her static space.
Therefore, the grain storage area would have an extra five or six thousand jin of potatoes and sweet potatoes almost every three months. The separated storage area was already full!
If it weren’t for the fact that she had specially left a not-so-small space before, it would have been not enough long ago.
Now, it was only about ten days before the next harvest. After she had finished harvesting, this space would be temporarily taken out to plant pasture and expand the breeding area.
Ji Yang recorded the plan in her mind in her notebook, for fear of forgetting it in her haste.
Finally, she withdrew her consciousness and also took out a handful of ice from her space. She held two pieces in her mouth, and the rest were stuffed into the dog’s mouth. Xixi was hot and immediately opened its mouth and came over. It accidentally ate Ji Yang’s whole hand.
She had successfully gotten a handful of saliva on her hand.
Ji Yang’s mouth twitched. She quickly took out a mineral water bottle filled with water for washing vegetables and washed her hands. After she had washed them clean, she immediately pinched Xixi’s two ears and rubbed them.
Xixi wagged its tail in a pleasing manner, its mouth obediently not open, holding the ice in its mouth, and it was much more comfortable.
Ji Yang laughed, re-gripped the direction, and continued to advance towards the base.
The base’s infrastructure was relatively complete, and there were not many things. She didn’t ask Luo Laosan to come and pick her up, but went directly to the main gate. As she got close to the main gate, she noticed many people looking over. Most of them were just coveting the supplies on her boat. Some had obvious malicious intent, and some had no malicious intent but their eyes lit up, wanting to come over.
But soon, they were pulled back by someone, and in the end, they gave up with hesitation.
In the end, when she reached the main gate of the base, no one had tried to get close to her. The group that Jiang Jing had mentioned that wanted to exchange for meat had not even been met.
Could it be that she already looked so difficult to provoke?
Ji Yang was a little amused. She controlled the assault boat to get close to the base’s docking area and found that because the water level had dropped a lot, the position where she docked was still a little far from the main gate of the base.
Soon, a staff member came over to help fix the boat.
However, compared to the enthusiasm and thoughtfulness of before, this time, she could clearly feel the staff’s vigilance. It wasn’t until they got close to Ji Yang and noticed that she was obviously a person with abundant supplies and a rich life that their expressions were not so tense, but they were still vigilant.
Ji Yang was very calm. “The assault boat is stored here.”
“Okay,” the staff member replied, wrote a receipt with a “swish, swish” sound, and handed it over. “You’ll have to pay when you take the assault boat.”
Ji Yang nodded. When she was taking the receipt, she also handed over two candies. “The things are too heavy. Can you help me call an electric car over?”
“Of course,” the staff member’s smile was enthusiastic, and the previous vigilance had completely faded. He trotted over to call a delivery electric car over.
The delivery master came over with a smile on his face, driving a small electric scooter. When he saw the two burlap sacks of heavy goods, his eyes lit up even more. A rich household. He quickly asked, “Are you going to the villa area?”
Ji Yang shook her head. “To the exchange point.”
The delivery master paused and reminded, “We have a starting price here. You have a lot of things, and a big dog. The starting price for one trip is ten points.”
“No problem,” Ji Yang readily nodded.
The delivery master was relieved and quickly got out of the car to put the two burlap sacks of heavy goods into the basket. But as soon as he touched them, he felt a cold touch, and the master’s heart was shocked.
Even after being roasted by the high temperature for half an hour, this meat was not small, and it was even harder after being frozen all night. It had not completely thawed and was still cold.
It was actually frozen. The master was extremely envious, and his hot hands couldn’t help but touch the outside of the burlap sack a few more times. It was too hot now, and only a few people had refrigerators. He was so hot that he was numb, and he dreamed of all kinds of iced drinks from the past.
Ji Yang noticed and did not pay attention. It was just a touch through the burlap sack.
The master quickly withdrew his hand, made a place for Ji Yang to sit, and Xixi had no place, so it lay at her feet.
This was a winding uphill road. When they reached the entrance, they would swipe at the entrance and then directly enter. The exchange point was near the main gate.
Ji Yang was already familiar with the road. She paid an extra five points and asked the master to help her move the two burlap sacks of wild boar meat.
The master was very happy. Seeing that she was really going to exchange, he also guessed what it was from the feel of it and even reminded her, “You can just set up a stall on the roadside. This frozen fresh pork won’t go bad for a while. It will definitely be sold, and it will be more expensive than the ones sold at the base.”
“Thank you. I’m too lazy to bother,” Ji Yang refused.
The master licked his lips in regret and looked at the burlap sack again. He also wanted to buy it. He was really craving meat!
But the price was too high. He was just doing this small business, and he was really reluctant. Forget it. At that time, he would just spend a few points to buy two eggs to supplement his protein.
After the things were delivered, the staff untied the burlap sack and their eyes immediately lit up. They weighed it with a bright smile and then shed tears of envy. “This is fresh meat. Thirty-five points per jin, a total of two hundred and twenty-nine jin. Can it be directly transferred to your account for 8015 points?”
Eight thousand points!
Her salary for four months!
Ji Yang smiled. “Yes.”
The staff was nimble. After they had transferred the points, they asked her to check.
Ji Yang saw that there was no problem and immediately left.
The staff looked at the wild boar meat and was so happy that they quickly took out their walkie-talkie. Although a portion of these good things would definitely be sold to the rich at a high price, a portion would also be left to be sold to the ordinary people at a low price. She had to call her family to come and squat and buy!
Even if they were staff members and were not short of points, fresh meat was not something they could eat at any time!
—
Xie Muzhi was not here, so Ji Yang did not plan to go to the villa area.
After she had left the exchange point, she put a leash on Xixi and went straight to the government office. She remembered that the military officer, Lin Zhong, whom she had seen twice, seemed to be working here. She tentatively walked in.
There were quite a few people in the first-floor lobby.
At the very back, on the wall opposite the main door, was a super-large display screen. The display screen was divided into two sections. One section read: Official Mission Gathering Point, and the other section read: Private Mission Gathering Point.
Ji Yang had never been here before. She hadn’t expected this to be the mission hall!
In her previous life, this kind of mission hall was separate. She hadn’t expected it to be in a building in this life. No wonder she hadn’t seen it before, and she had been puzzled for a while.
However, in this life, she didn’t need to rely on missions to eat, so she was too lazy to pay attention.
At this moment, when she saw it, Ji Yang subconsciously looked at the mission content.
The official missions were all relatively serious, mostly for recruitment. The recruitment of security officers was hung at the very top. The vacancy was huge, and the benefits were also very good. Many people had signed up, but not many had stayed in the end.
This was what Xie Muzhi had mentioned.
Secondly, there was the collection and counting of rats and cockroaches, which was also an urgent checkpoint.
After that were some more dangerous missions. For example, at this moment, it was written on it: [Special Mission, with a gun, mission time prediction: three days, danger level A, points: 2000-3000, mission requirements: agile, follows commands, has more than three B-level mission experiences can sign up—]
The mission content was not mentioned, but according to some of the missions that Ji Yang had seen in her previous life, she could roughly guess that it was very likely to be suppressing bandits.
There were all kinds of bandits in groups around the base. They were unwilling to be managed in the base and liked to be kings outside. As for the supplies, they were basically accumulated in the early stages of the disaster and robbed from other survivors after the disaster.
Even if the government was busy, they would occasionally take the time to deal with it. Otherwise, if the survivors who had gone out were all killed, the loss would be tragic.
The target of this kind of mission was probably not small, and they probably also had guns.
A little bigger, with a hundred-person gang mission, might be S-level or something.
The official mission side was rigid and serious, while the private missions were all kinds of strange things, for example: [Sincerely recruiting a pet groomer, 50 points]
[Missing person notice…]
[Recruiting five people to help go to Boyang City to get a family’s last belongings, mission points: 1500]
[Missing cat notice…]
[Collecting fresh ingredients…]
[…]
After reading this, she could only say that the rich were still willing to spend!
Issuing a mission was like an advertising space before the disaster, but it all cost money.
After Ji Yang had sighed, she looked around, found an information desk, and went over to ask, “Hello, I’m looking for Captain Lin Zhong. Is he here?”
The other party was a little surprised. “Captain Lin Zhong was transferred to manage that batch of infected who were sent away before. Is there anything you need?”
Ji Yang was choked. She hadn’t expected Lin Zhong not to be here. She had originally thought that since Lin Zhong’s military rank was higher, he would be taken more seriously earlier. Since he wasn’t here, then she… still had to say it!
Ji Yang: “I met a group of people. They said they wanted to use three jin of cured meat to exchange for one jin of pork. This kind of exchange is unreasonable, so I suspect that the cured meat in their hands is human meat.”
The production cost of three jin of cured meat far exceeded three jin of pork. At this time, besides the rich second generations who were foolish and rich, no one was willing to do it.
The staff at the information desk’s face suddenly became grim and serious. “Okay, we will definitely report this matter. Please fill out a form. If there is a stronghold of the other party, please write it down in as much detail as possible.”
“Mm,” Ji Yang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as this matter was not taken lightly, once it was reported, it was a sure thing that it would be dealt with.
She picked up a pen and wrote down the specific situation with a “swish, swish” sound.
There was her basic information, as well as the process of what she had encountered at that time. The wild boar meat had just been exchanged for points, and everything was aboveboard. She wrote very honestly, including that she had used a gun to deter this group of people.
After she had finished the last stroke, the staff picked up the paper and glanced at it briefly. As expected, they did not care about the gun in her hand. There were too many people with guns now, and it was no longer a rare thing.
The staff said calmly, “The message has been received. I will immediately send it to the leader in the form of an email. Please rest assured.”
Ji Yang was relieved and was about to turn and leave.
Suddenly, she felt a burst of hurried footsteps approaching from behind.
She subconsciously became on guard.
Xixi also immediately stood up, its eyes fierce.
When she turned to look, she saw a somewhat dark and slightly familiar person quickly coming over. Their four eyes met. Before Ji Yang could see clearly who the other party was, the person had already impatiently reached out his hand and at the same time opened his mouth to say something.
“Woof!” Xixi roared and was about to pounce.
Ji Yang’s expression turned grim. She pulled the rope to soothe Xixi, quickly reached out her hand to hold the other party’s arm that wanted to pull her, and with a force, the other party pounced forward. She quickly dodged to the other party’s back and kicked.
“Ah!” the words that had not been spoken directly turned into a tragic scream.
The two security guards who were in charge of guarding also quickly came over and pressed the person who was lying on the ground, saying in a low voice, “What’s going on?!”
Ji Yang shook her head. “I don’t know. I just felt someone approaching, as if they were going to attack me.”
The person had been kicked down. Before he could catch his breath, he was pressed down from his back. He immediately felt a thousand jin on his body and almost fainted with his eyes rolled back.
Fortunately, he recovered after a while and was finally able to speak. He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, “Ji Yang, I’m your father! Quick, let them let go!”
Ji Yang: ???
Ji Yang looked at the person lying on the ground in shock. The security guards on both sides noticed that something was wrong and also tentatively loosened their grip a little, revealing the slightly thin body.
He looked to be at most one hundred and twenty jin.
But there was indeed a shadow of Ji Anfeng in his eyebrows and eyes.
Ji Yang let out a gasp of admiration. “You’ve actually gotten so thin?”
You had to know that this person had a body like he was pregnant with twins before!
Ji Anfeng, who was struggling to get up, paused, and then he turned around, both ashamed and furious. He pointed at her in a huff. “How can you talk like that! I’m your father!” After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Yang’s current appearance, as well as the big dog beside her, and his anger rose even more. “Alright, I was wondering why I hadn’t seen you since the disaster. You’re eating and drinking well and even have a big dog. Do you know that your father and your younger siblings have almost starved to death several times!”
“Ji Yang, do you have a conscience?!”
