Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Although the beast tide did not break out and everything at the base was normal, Shi Jia encountered trouble.

Well, normally it's not that troublesome, but it's making Shi Jia a little annoyed.

"Yuanmu Xia, this is your transfer order from the Planting Department. Starting today, you are a member of the Breeding Base. Please report to the Breeding Base immediately."

A formally dressed man with a mocking expression held up a piece of paper and spoke to Shi Jia.

Shi Jia, who was fertilizing the potatoes, was stunned and looked the respectable-looking person in front of her up and down. "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

The man repeated unhappily, "Yuanmu Xia! This is the planting department..."

"Where did this planting department come from? And are you sure this is for me?" Shi Jia instantly thought of the intricacies of political struggle. Yuan Lei had been coming home very late these past few days, always looking exhausted.

It's probably internal strife at the top of the base that allowed the so-called planting department to take advantage of the situation. What about her Uncle Hao Ren? Was he bribed? Or did he also want her to get into the cultivation base, so he allowed the planting department people to come to her for validation?

Shi Jia thought it was most likely the latter.

"Hmph, in order to develop the planting industry more effectively, the base has specially set up a planting department, and the head of the department is Li Nan, the former deputy director of the recycling station!"

"Since you're a member of the Yanzhong Base and have awakened your planting ability, you must obey the orders of the Planting Department! Take your transfer order and come with me to the cultivation base immediately!" The man added impatiently, "Hurry up!"

"A planting department has been set up?" Shi Jia raised an eyebrow, not bothering to delve into the deeper meaning, and simply asked, "Who is the current leader of the base?"

The man frowned. "I told you to go to the breeding base right away. Why are you asking who the base leader is? Are you trying to disobey Minister Li's orders?"

"Let me tell you, disobeying orders will at least result in being penalized with contribution points by the base and forced to serve for two years; at worst, it will lead to the confiscation of all your property and expulsion from the base!" the man threatened.

"I'm asking you who the base leader is? Has he been replaced?" Shi Jia continued to work, engrossed in his task.

"It hasn't been changed!" the man said impatiently.

"Oh, then get lost!" Shi Jia said casually.

The man's face darkened. "Yuanmu Xia! I'll say it again, the planting department..."

"Get out—" As soon as Shi Jia finished speaking, a vine as thick as a bowl burst from the ground, picked up the man, the two clerks, and their car, and threw them five hundred meters away.

With no one around to bother her, Shi Jia felt more energetic while working.

Wang Junjun, on the other hand, was very cautious and spilled the fertilizer several times.

Shi Jia glanced at him and said, "Ignore them and hurry up and finish fertilizing."

"Okay." Although Wang Junjun agreed verbally, he was still a little worried. "Boss, I've heard of the deputy manager of the recycling station. He's narrow-minded and vindictive. You've offended him today..."

"As long as the base commander hasn't changed, he can't control me," Shi Jia said calmly. "Even if the base commander does change, it depends on whether I agree to it!"

Wang Junjun felt very conflicted after hearing this. On the one hand, he knew that the boss had a powerful background as the daughter of the deputy base commander. On the other hand, he was worried that the boss's arrogance would cause trouble.

After thinking for a moment, he still said, "Boss, I know you have powerful connections, but what if today's transfer order was also approved by the base commander and the others?"

"Impossible!" Shi Jia blurted out.

"Impossible?" Wang Junjun couldn't understand why Shi Jia was so confident. After working here for a few days, he had already witnessed his boss's talent for planting. Faced with such extraordinary talent, he didn't believe the base would just let it go.

“Hmm—” Shi Jia stopped what she was doing. “At least my father wouldn’t agree. As for Uncle Han, I don’t think he’s that short-sighted.”

“Those planting bases combined are only a hundred acres, how could they possibly meet the food needs of tens of thousands of people?” Shi Jia said. “If the base wants to expand, it must go outwards…” Wang Junjun listened blankly, thinking that his boss was too bold. He knew how dangerous the outside world was; only the base was safe…

"With someone like me, with resources at the forefront, why wouldn't they agree?" Shi Jia sneered. "Only those narrow-minded people who only think about grasping that tiny bit of power."

"Little do they know, what use is power when there are no people left?" Shi Jia shook his head. "But then again, at least they could enjoy themselves while they were alive. They only wanted to live a carefree life, who cared about the deluge after they died!"

Shi Jia sneered. She admitted that she was a saint and couldn't stand people who consumed humanity's future just to satisfy their own selfish desires!

However, everyone has their own way of living, and she won't force her worldview on others. As long as they don't offend her or affect her plans, she won't interfere.

Wang Junjun certainly didn't agree with his boss. After all, he had spent his whole life at the bottom of society. If he gained power, would he still need to work so hard every day?

No, no need. With power, he can enjoy all the resources of the base. Not only will he not have to worry about food and clothing, but he will also have a continuous supply of energy crystals for his cultivation. He will soon advance to the eighth or even the ninth rank...

Just thinking about that scene makes his blood boil, and he can't help but feel jealous of those good-for-nothings at the top of the base. Why can they do it, but he can't?

However, as someone from the bottom of society, as a wage earner, how could he possibly contradict his boss? He could simply nod silently to show his agreement.

Shi Jia glanced at Wang Junjun, who was nodding vigorously, and continued to fertilize silently.

The blazing sun beat down on the earth, scorching the two people who were diligently applying fertilizer.

"Finish this quickly, then we can eat a watermelon." Thinking of the two large watermelons soaking in water under the shade, Shi Jia quickened his pace.

When the sun was high in the sky, the two finally sat down in the shade and held a watermelon.

"Awesome!" Shi Jia exclaimed.

"Crunch~" came the sound of Wang Junjun eating watermelon. "Waaah~" As he ate, tears welled up in his eyes.

Good heavens, he hadn't eaten watermelon in almost twenty years! The crisp, juicy texture and the refreshing sweetness were simply irresistible!
Delicious, so delicious!
Wang Junjun cried as he chewed vigorously, his tears mixing with the salty taste of the watermelon, which finally brought him back to his senses.

He quickly wiped his face clean, not wanting his tears to stain the sweet watermelon.

Shi Jia, standing to the side, turned her face away in disgust.

It's so filthy. Oh well, we harvested a lot of watermelons today, I'll deliver two more to him later, so it won't be counted in his salary.

Shi Jia shook his head and continued eating the watermelon.

“Boss, you’re right!” Wang Junjun suddenly said.

Shi Jia looked at him in confusion. Had she said anything?

Wang Junjun looked at her firmly, "Boss, you're right. People can't be narrow-minded and only focus on the small plot of land of the base. As a superhuman, one should have the world in one's heart and fight for the continuation of humanity! Fight for humanity's food!"

What's the point of gaining immense power in a post-apocalyptic world? Can you eat whatever you want? Can you go wherever you want? Can you slack off at work? Can you live a peaceful and safe life until old age?
No!

Even a single bite of white rice can't satisfy me!

At this moment, Wang Junjun's eyes were as firm as if he were joining the Party. "Boss, I support you. I will always follow in your footsteps! I believe that with your abilities, you can restore the society before the apocalypse!"

Shi Jia blinked, looking at Wang Junjun with a puzzled expression. Was it really necessary to just eat some melon seeds? (End of Chapter)
