Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

The dinner was still stewed goat meat. To avoid getting greasy, Shen Yao also added some stir-fried seasonal vegetables.

Fortunately, we ordered enough winter vegetables, otherwise, seeing them eating the whole vegetable in one meal, Shen Yao would have been worried about her future.

"We can trade some of them privately, but the price won't be too cheap."

Cheng Qi understood these things that the government would not investigate unless the people reported them. After all, the base was too large, some people ate well and some lived poorly, and everyone had to be given a way out. If they were pushed too hard, it would easily lead to irreversible consequences.

"Let's talk about it after this period of time. We live in District B, where the living materials are better than those in other districts. It's not a good thing to show up at this time."

Shen Yao picked up a piece of tender and juicy fried vegetables with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The sweet taste filled her mouth, leaving her with an endless aftertaste.

Well

In this post-mutation world, you have to rely on yourself for everything, but the taste of the food here is indeed getting better.

One chopstick was not enough, so she reached out and picked up another one. Shen Yao's eyes were smiling as she ate.

The two of them quickly filled their stomachs. Since picking cotton took too long, they did not intentionally increase their workload at night. They just lay on the bed and browsed the watch forum for a while. When the time came, they turned off the lights and went to sleep.

He got up early the next day and went out to pick cotton again. Cheng Qi carried the wooden box at the door into the room and locked it.

The two men took the earliest military vehicle and arrived at the cotton field safely.

But this time Shen Yao's luck was not very good, and the metal card she got was number 256.

Tut tut

This distance is a bit far.

Once the metal plate is issued, it cannot be returned or exchanged. Shen Yao took her tools and walked in along the route she took yesterday.

About twenty minutes later, Shen Yao finally saw the number 256.

Not far ahead were the patrol team, constantly patrolling with weapons in hand.

Taking the time to send a message to Cheng Qi who was working, Shen Yao put on her veil, put on gloves, picked up the backpack and climbed the tree.

There are more bugs visible to the naked eye on the cotton trees today than there were yesterday.

Shen Yao frowned and asked the system to add partitions in the space. She was unwilling to accept untested cotton.

system:……

The system grumbled that the host was being too pretentious, but it still did its job honestly.

The entire cotton tree was covered with densely packed small dots of various colors. Shen Yao picked up the scissors and started clicking. Some of the dots were put into a backpack to be handed over to the base, and some were stored in the space as her personal salary.

The area where Shen Yao is located is close to the center of the cotton field, and the probability of danger will increase if you go further in.

Shen Yao hurried to pick all the cotton from the three trees before noon, and returned to the cotton field carrying the backpack and sack.

Cheng Qi ran over and grabbed Shen Yao's wrist, "Don't go over there this afternoon."

Shen Yao:……?

"I know," Shen Yao nodded obediently. Some things don't need to be said clearly.

After Shen Yao handed over the cotton in her hand to the staff, she also returned the metal plate to the other party.

"If you don't go in the afternoon, you won't get the full amount of cotton," the staff member explained calmly, holding his glasses.

Shen Yao had no objection to this. She took her salary and turned to find Cheng Qi.

Cheng Qi sat in the shade to rest, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Shen Yao handed over the handkerchief and said, "I'll go to the forest behind to take a look this afternoon."

If you don't go to pick cotton, you can only wander around. The most important thing here is the cotton field, and there are few other supplies to find.

"Well, be careful and try not to get too close," Cheng Qi licked the corner of his lips, unscrewed the bottle he brought and took a big gulp.

After drinking the cool boiled water, Cheng Qi wiped his face and mentioned that he would have a day off the day after tomorrow.

the day after tomorrow?

Shen Yao touched her chin, took out her watch and walked towards Cheng Qi, "How about we go here the day after tomorrow? We can even go into the mountains to pick some wild fruits."

The mountains and forests surrounding the base are rich in products such as chestnuts and hazelnuts. If the mutant beasts were not so ferocious and difficult to deal with, the people in the base would be several times better off than they are now.

Cheng Qi looked at it and nodded, "You can go here. There are several hawthorn trees in the mountains. You can pick some hawthorns and have them as snacks."

After hearing this, Shen Yao quickly marked the place and turned over to take out two nutritional supplements from the backpack.

Grassy flavor.

It tastes light and has a grassy flavor. I heard that the raw materials are wild grasses grown outside the base, which are usually fed to the animals raised on the base.

Gulp, the whole bottle of nutrient went into her stomach. Shen Yao reached out and touched it, and the previous feeling of hunger disappeared instantly.

The effect is immediate, and even though the taste and ingredients of nutritional supplements have always been criticized, they are still very effective.

Cheng Qi only had an empty tube in his hand, which was useless so he just threw it away.

After resting for about an hour, people started to get up and leave.

When work started in the afternoon, ordinary people in the base certainly couldn't just choose not to go like Shen Yao did. Moreover, many people were looking forward to getting the cotton, as it was their hope for survival in the future.

Shen Yao stood up and followed the crowd, but she walked in the opposite direction of everyone else.

The backpack had been emptied long ago, and the sack of cotton was taken away by Cheng Qi. Shen Yao now had nothing in her hands and felt relaxed, and she would not be watched no matter where she went.

creak

Stepping into the thick jungle, Shen Yao discovered several clumps of mushrooms.

After picking the edibles and putting them in the backpack, Shen Yao did not forget to break off some branches to cover them. The branches she broke off were not ordinary ones, and after they were transformed, they could be used to store seasonings.

It just so happens that we don’t have many kinds of condiments at home, so it would be great to be able to buy some in the wild.

Walking forward, Shen Yao discovered a wild autumn pear tree.

The tree was only one story high, and there were several autumn pears as big as face plates growing on it. Shen Yao naturally couldn't let it go, so she asked the system to help scan it and then went up the tree to pick the fruits.

"Host, there is more ahead!"

The system was idle, and a scan immediately revealed something around.

Shen Yao nodded and let the system lead her there.

'They must have been missed.' Wild autumn pears are heavy and taste great, so if they really appear, you have to pick them.

The system discovered that there were many autumn pear trees, but there were not many fruits hanging on them and they were very hidden.

Shen Yao was like a nimble monkey, climbing up and down to pick autumn pears.

Shen Yao quickly filled the backpack she brought and felt it was almost time to leave.

'Host, there is wild honey.'

The system rang again to remind her, interrupting Shen Yao's thoughts of leaving.

Ok?

Wild honey?

This is a good thing. Not only is it more valuable than autumn pears, it is also a top-notch tonic.

Shen Yao put down the backpack and hid it, picked up the weapon and asked the system to open the map.

"It's not far from here. If you walk quickly, it'll only take five minutes." And there's no one around, so Shen Yao isn't afraid of being taken advantage of.

Shaking her wrists and eager to give it a try, Shen Yao bent down and tied her trouser legs tightly. After jumping twice to make sure she couldn't get free, she adjusted the veil she had put on and strode forward.

"Buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz"

The mutated bees have become larger, with each foot being as long as an index finger.

Shen Yao lay down behind a rock, looking at a beehive with a diameter of one meter not far away, planning to launch a surprise attack with fire.

There is no advantage in a head-on confrontation, not to mention that being stung by a bee can take half of your life. Shen Yao rubbed her face and took out the space cotton to use as fire starter.

I carry my lighter with me just in case. I don't want to use it right now.

"System, help me keep an eye on the surroundings," Shen Yao said, and then threw the fireball in his hand, which landed very accurately around the opposite beehive.

bang

Swarms of bees swarmed out of the hive, forming a black mass, trying to put out the fire.

Unfortunately, cotton burns very quickly after being ignited, and it instantly burns to the edge of the honeycomb.

Now there are more bees in the hive, rushing forward like moths to a flame.

Shen Yao took advantage of this time period and sneaked around.

Let the system help her detect the degree of mutation of the honey in the hive. Shen Yao tried her best to pick the places with more green and yellow spots, and swung the sickle to chop them hard several times.

After the beehive was cut down, the space was reclaimed, and many bee pupae and young bees suddenly appeared on the ground.

The bees that had flown out to put out the fire earlier discovered that someone had stolen their home, so they turned around and vowed revenge.

Unfortunately, the beehive had been put away by Shen Yao. There was no sign of a thief around Shen Yao. In addition, this person was covered tightly all over and ran very fast, so it was difficult for the bees to cause trouble to her.

Shen Yao returned to the autumn pear tree with satisfaction, dug through the pile of fallen leaves, took out the backpack from inside and put it on her back again.

Reaching out to tidy up her messy hair, Shen Yao happily showed off to the system.

"There are at least several dozen kilograms of wild honey." After removing the undrinkable honey, there is still two-thirds left. "This trip today is really worthwhile."

It's better than simply picking cotton. You have to know that wild honey is hard to come by and the exchange center is out of stock.

Patting his shoulder strap, Shen Yao took out a sack before going back. He picked a few leaves and wrapped the honeycomb in it.

'The honey smell is so sweet, I can't resist it.'

After thinking it over, Shen Yao simply put the sack at the bottom of the backpack and lightly covered it with a layer of autumn pears. The extra food could only be put into the sack and carried it while carrying it.

Her hands were full, showing that she had gained a lot. As Shen Yao walked back, she attracted countless glances, most of which were filled with envy and jealousy.

Cheng Qi was not in the rest area, so Shen Yao put down the backpack and sack and sent a message to him, while she stayed where she was.

After waiting for half an hour, Cheng Qi came back, accompanied by several teammates who were also from the patrol team.

"Get in the car first."

As Cheng Qi spoke, he picked up the backpack and sack on the ground very naturally.

Shen Yao walked beside Cheng Qi and followed him away with a well-behaved look on her face.

The other people around were still in the mood to joke. Although they were not familiar with Shen Yao, they were very familiar with Captain Cheng Qi, who had been in office for only a short time.

Cheng Qi shook his head helplessly and said a few words to ask them to pay attention to their surroundings.

Only when the two of them arrived at the military vehicle parking area did Shen Yao step forward and grab Cheng Qi.

Cheng Qi:...Hmm?

Shen Yao smiled, motioned Cheng Qi to lower his head, and she went over to whisper a few words.

Cheng Qi was surprised, "Really?"

"Of course," she would have continued chopping if time hadn't run out.

Cheng Qi glanced at the bottom of the backpack and gave up his original plan of just putting it in the car.

Well, such a precious thing should be hidden secretly and not told to anyone.

"We still have to send it to my parents, and also need the base to help purify it," they are unable to handle the bulk wild honey by themselves.

Because honey is all mixed together, special tools are needed to separate it. Otherwise, if you accidentally eat highly mutated honey, it would be fatal.

"Leave it to me, but not right now. Wait for me to find a chance to make an appointment."

If you send it directly to the base officials, they may be fooled. No one wants the wild honey they have worked so hard to get to be shared by others.

Cheng Qi knows the operating space here best, and many people will take advantage of it.

Shen Yao nodded, pounded his arms and legs, and pointed at the crowd not far away, "Is the danger inside over?"

Cheng Qi raised his eyebrows, "Several people died, but the patrol team didn't make it public."

Once the news became public, unrest ensued and cotton picking plummeted.

The base's requirement is that nothing can affect the cotton fields at present. After all, the entire base has a huge shortage of warm clothing, so they are just waiting for this wave.

Cheng Qi simply used public resources for personal gain and arranged Shen Yao on the patrol team's car. Others always did this anyway, and now Cheng Qi chose to "go along with them", which also made the team members feel relieved.

After all, they are all in the same boat now, so there is no need to worry about who will tell others about it. There are always some captains who do disgusting things and block others, but Cheng Qi does not have these bad habits and he stands by them. He is simply a good person.

Cheng Qi, who was given the good guy card, was completely unaware that he still had patrol work to do.

After spending some time with Shen Yao, Cheng Qi took his weapon and left.

Although Shen Yao was the only one left in the car, she did not let herself go. Instead, she closed her eyes and rested, reducing her presence.

It was not until the sound of footsteps was heard outside the window that Shen Yao opened her eyes and saw Cheng Qi getting into the car.

Cheng Qi walked over and sat next to Shen Yao, handing her the banana in his hand.

Shen Yao:……?

"There are bananas here?" Tropical fruits are not suitable for growth before and after the mutation.

"The improved varieties studied at the base are much worse in taste and texture than bananas."

What good things can be given out? You overestimate the base.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao peeled off the yellow skin of the banana and took a bite.

The face was instantly deformed.

Silently stuffing most of the rest into Cheng Qi's mouth, Shen Yao rubbed her chin and stopped talking.

The patrol team's vehicle is a medium-sized bus with reinforced and improved seats. It can not only accommodate many people but also hold a lot of supplies.

Shen Yao's backpack and sack were beside her and around her feet. She thought that there were no other family members besides her, but she didn't expect that there were so many family members coming in today.

Cheng Qi explained in a low voice, "They were worried before, but they were relieved when they saw you coming."

After all, Cheng Qi has the final say in the entire team. The boss above hasn't said anything yet, so no matter how much they try to comfort themselves, they will still feel a little guilty.

Shen Yao spread his hands to show his understanding. Being a leader is indeed difficult sometimes.

We must not only take into account the emotions of the team members, but also complete the tasks assigned by them.

Including when something happens in a cotton field, the first people to be held accountable are definitely the inspection team.

When they got back to the base, the patrol team members took special care of the captain's face and simply drove the car in.

With the help of this favorable wind, Shen Yao walked much less and felt more relaxed than when she came back yesterday.

When Shen Yao received complaints from Song Ling and Cheng Ma, she not only comforted them with words, but also decided to set out to pick cotton in the wild the day after tomorrow.
