Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 418 Daily Wasteland Collection (46)

Shen Yao was still unaware of the situation at the Shuguang base. Right now, she was conscientiously cutting sugarcane.

Sugarcane is a sweet crop that grows outside Base 25. It is usually used to make sugar or as a snack.

The growth cycle of the mutated sugarcane has been compressed, resulting in new branches sprouting in every mild season, and the mature sugarcane will be cut down section by section by the people who come here for testing.

Shen Yao's arrival timing could not be considered good, as the good quality sugarcanes had already been pocketed by others, and now the only ones Shen Yao could snatch up were the new sugarcanes that were only as tall as an adult.

"These sugar canes are fine as snacks for children, but they can't make much sugar."

Su Wen broke it casually and held a dark purple sugarcane as long as his arm in his hand.

The watch pointer penetrated the two gaps for testing and, as expected, issued a height abnormality prompt.

Tu

Su Wen was not satisfied, so he turned around and threw it away, continuing to search around.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao was lucky and managed to harvest some edible sugarcane with the help of a plug-in.

But as Su Wen said, the sugar yield of new sugarcane is terribly low, and it can only be put into your mouth and chewed.

"Wait until the mild season next year. The base here is large and has no shortage of supplies. It's not like our life at Base 102 was difficult."

Shen Yao cut the sugarcane that passed the inspection and put it into the basket behind her. She held the baby in her arms and cried as if she was echoing her mother's words.

Su Wen advised Shen Yao to look forward, saying that life was getting better now.

Base No. 25 has a large population and great strength. The cold season that is harsh for small and medium-sized bases is no problem for Base No. 25.

"We now live outside the base and are eligible to buy coal," Su Wen explained that coal is a specialty of the base, durable and smokeless, and more convenient for heating. "Every household in the slums can get 100 kilograms for free."

Shen Yao sighed, "The base is really generous." The population of the slums accounts for 20% of the entire base, which is one-fifth of the population, which shows how large the base is.

People living in slums can at most get enough to eat, and rely on the base for other aspects.

Since its establishment, Base 25 has never abandoned the slums. On the contrary, every year during the cold and rainy seasons, the base will provide a lot of supplies to support the slums.

This is probably the reason why Base No. 25 can become larger and larger and its population growth rate can become stronger and stronger.

Although the mutated world has magnified the subtle relationships between people and made people more indifferent to themselves, this kind of selfless dedication is still what humans desire.

Even if I can't do it, I am willing to be friends with such people.

As the two were talking, they had to walk into the sugarcane field in order to have a better chance of picking the new sugarcane.

"Ouch!"

Shen Yao looked up and saw Su Wen, who was on her left, suddenly fall down, carrying the backpack with him.

Shen Yao quickly ran up two steps and helped the man up from the ground. She was concerned about Su Wen's feet.

"How could he suddenly fall down out of nowhere?" The ground was flat and there was nothing protruding on it.

Su Wen grimaced as he patted the dead branches and leaves that were on his body. "A black thing suddenly jumped out from the side, and I got startled," and lost my balance, and therefore fell.

After listening to Su Wen's words, Shen Yao raised her head and looked around.

What's more, she really saw a particularly protruding black hole.

It's a rabbit hole!

Rabbits in the sugar cane fields?

"What's so strange about this?" The system said that it could not use previous experience to make inferences. After all, sugarcane is not ripe at this time.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao had nothing to say. She helped Su Wen pick up the backpack and put it aside. She came to the black hole as big as a washbasin and stretched her neck to look inside.

Su Wen leaned over and whispered, "It's an abandoned rabbit hole in the field."

"Abandoned?" Shen Yao pointed to the few tufts of long hair next to the rabbit hole, indicating that it was not abandoned, and there might be a rabbit inside.

He whispered to Su Wen about how they could cooperate, which successfully aroused Su Wen's interest. Then the two of them found several rabbit holes in the surrounding area one after another, covered most of them with soil, and left one person to guard one.

"Buckle up the backpack. I have a lighter here," Shen Yao threw one to Su Wen, then picked up some dead branches, lit them and put them into the cave entrance.

The black smoke overflowed into the cave, and Manman was also tied up by Shen Yao on her back.

Shen Yao silently calculated the time in her mind, waiting for the rabbit in the hole to fall into the trap.

"Oh, it really exists!"

Su Wen was surprised when a angora rabbit suddenly bumped into the empty backpack.

Su Wen quickly pulled the rabbit out and put it into the sack, and continued to stare at the hole.

The rabbit that came out from Shen Yao's side was obviously bigger, gray in color, and its two front teeth were particularly prominent.

The backpack hung at the entrance of the cave was made of bamboo, so it could hold just one but not several.

In order to catch more rabbits and save up their skins, Shen Yao secretly used the weapons in the space. With an electric baton, any wild rabbit would be knocked unconscious no matter how powerful it was.

After working for more than half an hour, Shen Yao and Su Wen each harvested a sack of rabbits.

And this does not include those who escaped through other blocked holes.

After all, it's just covered with soil. The mutated rabbit is very strong and can see the light of day again by just a few hits.

The harvest was greater than expected. Su Wen's eyes turned and she invited Shen Yao to go back to the base with her early.

"What's so good about these sugarcanes? I have a few left at home. I'll get them for you."

In front of the rabbit, Su Wen didn't take the sugarcane seriously at all.

Shen Yao smiled and said that she would continue picking for a while. Besides, she had harvested too much today and she couldn't carry it all back with her child on her back, so she had to wait for the man to go home together.

Su Wen: ...

Su Wen felt that Shen Yao was not wrong to think so. She could help carry some of the things, but she couldn't handle the weight that was far beyond the limit.

"You should go back soon. I have contacted Cheng Qi with my watch. The mercenaries will be back early today. I can wait a little longer and save time by taking a bus."

Su Wen knew that Shen Yao's man was called Cheng Qi, and said with regret that her man was not on a mission, otherwise she might have been able to use the car.

"Then I won't waste any more words. You wait here. The road ahead is back to the base. If you have anything, send me a private message."

"Well, this place is just outside the base. If you look up, you can see the houses in the slums. It's okay."

"..."

Su Wen waved his hand, put the sack on his shoulder, slung the backpack over his arm, and left along the path trampled by humans.

Seeing the person walking away, Shen Yao picked up the machete and continued to cut the new sugar cane, until she suddenly asked, "Are you really gone?"

The speech is incoherent, but based on the cause and effect, we can judge that the subject is Su Wen who left.

"She's gone. She was hiding by the path just now, looking back." The system was puzzled as to why this person continued the conversation when he clearly didn't want to leave. "The host won't force her to leave." He was really judging others by his own standards.

"Who said I wouldn't force her to leave? There are good things in the rabbit hole. It's the least risky way to monopolize it all by one person," Shen Yao dropped the sugarcane in her hand, stood up and walked to the rabbit hole that she had just smoked.

system:……

The system was in disbelief, like a rooster caught by the neck.

'Keep an eye on this for me, I'm going to dig this rabbit hole.'

Shen Yao replaced the machete in her hand with a more convenient shovel and put the shovel tied on her back into the backpack. She dug the rabbit hole one shovel at a time, exposing the part hidden underground.

About half an hour later, Shen Yao's shovel could no longer dig. After hitting the solid ground, Shen Yao retracted the shovel and jumped into the rabbit hole with the machete in hand.

system:……

The system says "hello" loudly twice, which means that the child is left outside?

"I'm here with you, help me keep an eye on the situation, I'll be back soon."

System: ……6

Having never seen a host with such a personality, the system can't think of a specific adjective to describe it.

The system kept mumbling that the host was playing with fire, so it had to focus on the ground and became extremely nervous at the slightest sign of trouble.

Shen Yao took out a flashlight and turned left and right along the dug rabbit hole.

It was clearly supposed to be a narrow and deep rabbit hole, but I didn't expect it to be so spacious inside.

Turning left and right, Shen Yao finally crawled across a path that was only a few dozen centimeters high. Covered in dust, he crawled out from a place a few dozen meters away from the entrance.

The dust on her body stained her entire clothes. Shen Yao had no choice but to change into the same clothes she had prepared in advance, and then pretended to fill up the rabbit hole she had dug silently.

The system's tone was impatient, "Have you found the treasure?"

"Didn't you see it?" Shen Yao asked back. After everything was done, she hugged Manman tightly and continued to harvest sugarcane with the machete.

The system really didn't notice, its attention was all on the child.

"Let's talk about it when we get back," Shen Yao made up an excuse to get rid of the system.

After moving the backpack and sack to the roadside, Shen Yao clicked on the portrait on her watch. Cheng Qi had replied to her message more than ten minutes ago, saying that the mercenary team had already returned.

This time the mercenary team went to a place farther than the previous two days. According to the speed of the vehicle, they would have to wait for more than half an hour.

Let’s continue cutting some sugarcane. Even though it tastes only a little sweet when you put it in your mouth, it is still a special snack in the cold season.

…………

"Brother Cheng, is that your sister-in-law on the side of the road?" Qian Zhuang was sitting in the passenger seat, pointing at a looming figure on the side of the road ahead.

He has genetically awakened visual abilities and can see the farthest distances theoretically possible for humans.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qi hummed and said that he would stop the car to help. There was not much space left in the car, but some supplies could still be placed on the roof of the car.

Qian Zhuang waved his hand in a good mood and said, "Let Qiangzi and the others squeeze in at the back. My sister-in-law and her child have been out working all day, so let's sit back together."

The mercenary team had a great harvest today and even hunted two extra bison.

Beef tastes better and is more firm than other meats. The bank plans to sell one to the base first and split the rest equally with the brothers.

According to conservative estimates, each person can get at least several dozen kilograms, which is enough to satisfy their cravings.

The car stopped in front of Shen Yao. Cheng Qi got out and put the things on the top of the car, then led Shen Yao and her daughter into the car.

"Brother Qian, hello brothers," Shen Yao greeted everyone shyly, hiding in the corner with the well-behaved Manman in his arms.

Because there was a child in the car, the car seemed relatively quiet on the way back to the base. Apart from Qian Zhuang occasionally asking about the two people's situation at the base, the others just made eyes and didn't say anything.

Cheng Qi had to drive to the mercenary team to divide the meat, so he could only send Shen Yao and her daughter home first.

Putting the backpack and sack at the door, Cheng Qi drove away along the road.

Shen Yao pushed open the door, pulled the things into the yard, and lay down in the rocking chair, motionless.

Manman lay in his mother's arms like a chick pecking at rice, and then he turned his head and started snoring.

Shen Yao clicked on her watch and sent a message to Su Wen that she had returned. She closed her eyes and did not open them again until she heard movement outside the door.

Cheng Qi walked in, "Are you tired today?"

Shen Yao hummed and handed the bag to Cheng Qi, "We caught a bag of rabbits, we need to deal with it in time."

Cheng Qi subconsciously looked at the sack on the ground and thought to himself, no wonder it felt heavy in his hand when he was carrying it.

He first sent Shen Yao and his daughter back to the house to rest, then Cheng Qi rolled up his sleeves, slaughtered the rabbit in the sack, and skinned it.

After finishing the work in the yard, Cheng Qi entered the house and noticed Shen Yao sitting in the living room.

Waving to Cheng Qi to come over quickly, Shen Yao blinked and said, "I found a treasure in the rabbit hole today."

baby?

Cheng Qi lowered his head and saw several beautiful diamond-shaped white crystals placed flat in Shen Yao's hands.

Pupils shrank slightly, Cheng Qi subconsciously looked behind him, and after making sure that there was no one around, he dared to whisper the name of the crystal stone, "It's an energy stone."

It is a priceless treasure in the Dawn Base, an essential raw material for making energy stabilizers, and also beneficial to those who have genetic awakenings.

Shen Yao smiled and stuffed these diamond-shaped white crystals into Cheng Qi's hands.

Before coming to Base No. 25, Shen Yao also tried to search at Dawn Base, but unfortunately found nothing in the end.

Now that we have arrived at Base No. 25, we have harvested so many energy stones in just a few days. It can be seen that it was right to come out early.

"There is a testing machine at home to see how much energy is inside."

After Cheng Qi finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the studio and took out a cube-shaped box.

When opened, it is a small tray machine. Put the energy stone in it to display the energy value.

Generally speaking, the amount of energy contained in an energy stone is related to its volume.

To make gene stabilizer, energy stones need to be ground into powder using special tools and mixed with other raw materials.

"85"

A string of numbers popped out of the smallest energy stone, which could only be considered the lowest in terms of energy classification.

Shen Yao found a total of five energy stones. The one with the most energy was 521, which was above average, and the remaining three were all between 200-400.

Even so, even selling the smallest one could easily earn them tens of thousands of points and other benefits that couldn't be bought with points.

Cheng Qi made a prompt decision and asked Shen Yao to keep it, "Find a chance to exchange it for a spot in the inner district during the mild season next year," and it would be best if he could get the house together with it.

Shen Yao nodded and handed the smallest one to Cheng Qi for him to absorb.

"Gene stabilizers are not as useful as energy stones after all." Now that we have a better way to treat gene collapse, we must not use it.

"There are gene stabilizers in the space," Cheng Qi was reluctant to use the energy stone in his hand. Gene stabilizers were easy to obtain, but energy stones were hard to find.

It was sheer luck that Shen Yao was able to find a few in the rabbit hole today. She doesn’t have to wait until a certain time for the next one.
