Immortal in The Apocalypse

Zhu Lin nodded to Wan Shengye and smiled politely. Seeing that Tu Tu had come back, she looked at Tan Wei and said, "I’m going to check the farmland now."

Tan Wei glanced at Wan Shengye for a second, nodded to Zhu Lin, and said, "All right. Xiao Lin, you should go back and rest after that."

"Mhm."

Looking at Zhu Lin’s back as she walked away, Wan Shengye crossed his arms and said, "Miss Zhu is an interesting woman. It’s a pity that she doesn’t seem to be interested in me."

Hearing this, Tan Wei smiled, patted Wan Shengye on the shoulder, and said, "Since Brother Wan already knows this, then don’t waste your time doing something useless. I still have work to do, so I’m going first. See you later."

After leaving these words, Tan Wei went to burn the zombies’ corpses with the other supernatural beings. They need to burn the zombie corpses as soon as possible before the black blood and rotten flesh pollute the soil. While Tan Wei and other supernatural beings were cleaning up the area outside Sector E, Zhu Lin visited the farmland.

Looking at the sprouts growing in the farmland, Zhu Lin was in a good mood. Since using the divine spring water as fertilizer allows them to grow plants normally in soil contaminated by devil energy, then they can spread the news.

She believed that when those bases heard the news, they would definitely come to buy divine spring water. Also, using divine spring water and uncontaminated seeds in exchange for more supplies can save them a lot of time in searching for supplies on their own. If her plans were successful, more people could grow their food and reduce mortality from starvation.

Zhu Lin walked around the farmland and found that most of the people working there were ordinary people. Out of curiosity, she walked up to the three elderly working on the nearest farm.

Seeing her coming, one of them looked at her with a smile and asked, "Miss, do you need anything?"

Zhu Lin looked at the old man with a smile and asked, "Old grandpa, why are there only the three of you working now? Where are the other workers?"

The old man wiped his sweat with his sleeve and said, "Those supernatural beings were summoned to support the north area. Now, the workers in the farms are only ordinary people."

After finishing speaking, another old man added: "I heard that this is an emergency decision made by the base leaders to ensure that everyone has a job and can earn food and water."

An old woman nodded and said, "That’s right, that’s right. My grandson is also a supernatural being. He was a courier who distributed supplies on the battlefield. He told me that by working on the battlefield, he could earn a lot of supplies and crystal nucleus. It’s just that the danger is very high."

Seeing her worried look, one of the old men said, "Old lady, you must be very worried about your grandson every day."

The old woman nodded and sighed heavily. Seeing her like this, another old man clicked his tongue and said, "What are you sighing for? You are lucky because your grandson is a supernatural being. Look at Lao Li and me. Both of us have lost our families and can only earn a little bit of food by ourselves."

After listening to their conversation, Zhu Lin thought for a while and said, "Thank you for answering my question, everyone."

After she left, the old man looked at her back, and said, "What a beautiful young lady."

Hearing his words, the old woman shook her head and said, "She is a pitiful person."

The old man didn’t understand why she said that. He looked at the old woman and asked, "Old lady, what do you mean by this? I think that young lady is a person with a good life."

The old woman sighed and said, "In our current world, the more beautiful a woman is, the more difficult and pitiable her life is. Just last night, I heard my grandson say that he saw a man selling his daughter for food. Because she looked a little bit pretty, he sold her at a high price to a middle-aged supernatural being. That man can be her father, ah."

Hearing what the old woman said, the two old men were surprised. As people who had lost their family members, neither of them could believe that any parent could sell their child for a little bit of supplies. After a while, the three of them looked at Zhu Lin in the distance, shook their heads, and continued with their work.

Zhu Lin didn’t know that there were three old people taking pity on her. She looked at the farmland’s supervisor and said, "The seedlings are growing very well. How long do you think it will take for us to harvest the first batch of vegetables?"

The supervisor looked at the data and said, "Normally, it would take at least thirty days to harvest radishes. But for some reason, the growth and maturity of our radishes are faster than before. As for other vegetables, their growth and maturity are also faster than normal. At this rate, we should be able to harvest the first batch of vegetables within a few days."

After hearing what he said, Zhu Lin thought to herself: ’Is the speed at which the seeds grow and mature due to the influence of the divine spring water, or is it because I used my divine energy to purify the devil energy contained in the seeds?’

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Lin looked at the supervisor and asked, "Have you recorded the crop’s growth data?"

The supervisor nodded and said, "Yes. Captain Xiu wanted a detailed report, so we recorded the status of all crops every hour."

Zhu Lin nodded and said, "That is good. You can go back to work now. Thank you for your hard work."
