Ordinary observers in fast time travel

“Minister Li, that Haruki Natsuta is incredibly arrogant! She completely disregards you.”

"Not only that, she also disobeys orders from the base," Zhuang Ming said angrily.

Upon hearing this, the newly appointed Minister of Planting, Li Nan, slammed his fist on the table. "Outrageous! Send the patrol team to arrest her!"

Zhuang Ming froze and hurriedly said, "Minister, Yuan Muxia has a special identity."

"Hmph, she's just that old bastard Yuan Lei's daughter." Li Nan said with a look of disdain. "That old bastard will step down from that position sooner or later."

“But the patrol team is under the jurisdiction of the former base chief. They certainly won’t be under the command of our planting department,” Zhuang Ming said.

“That’s even better! If the patrol team is on a mission, I can use this to my advantage at the representative meeting. The deputy base commander is protecting the daughter of a defector plantation engineer—” Li Nan’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ming curled the corners of his lips and said, "Minister, you are truly wise. With such an open scheme, the former base chief had no choice but to accept it."

Li Nan waved.

Zhuang Ming bowed and turned to leave.

After leaving the office building, he didn't go directly to the guard post to find the patrol team, but excitedly made a phone call.

"Just as you predicted, Li Nan is extremely narrow-minded. On his very first day in office, he started targeting Yuan Lei..."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be careful."

……

"Former base chief, the guard station called to say that the planting department needs to send people to capture Xiaxia," Secretary Chen said gravely.

"What?" Yuan Lei, who was busy and overwhelmed, thought he had misheard.

Secretary Chen repeated it again.

"What's the reason?" Yuan Lei frowned. What was Li Nan planning to do?
Secretary Chen quickly said, "They said Xia Xia refused to carry out the base's transfer order."

"Don't they know that Xiaxia isn't under the jurisdiction of the planting department? What about Hao Ren? What did he say?" Yuan Lei frowned, made a phone call to Base Chief Han, and explained the situation.

Secretary Chen over there also inquired about the situation in the planting department. "Director Hao seems to be unaware of this matter."

Yuan Lei snorted, "Let's not worry about that for now. Base Chief Han has already contacted Li Nan. If he wants to continue as the planting minister, he knows what to do."

Although the establishment of the Planting Department was facilitated by some people with ulterior motives, it was also an inevitable trend. As long as Yuanmu Xia's research is successful, land reclamation and farming will become the future development direction of the Yanzhong Base.

"The base has been peaceful for too long, which has emboldened some people, and they've all started to covet things that don't belong to them," Yuan Lei sneered.

Do they really think the top two positions in this base are so easy to hold? Do they think just anyone can take them? And those arrogant youngsters in the base, hiding behind the scenes and doing some underhanded things, think they can orchestrate events and stir up trouble?
How ridiculous!

If it weren't for the recent unusual activity of the virus, keeping them busy with cleaning up, how long could they have continued to roam around?

Yuan Lei rubbed his temples and asked, "How's the virus data collection from the base's residents going these past few days?"

“The data collection is complete.” Secretary Chen quickly opened his bracelet and sent a report to Yuan Lei. “The report has just been compiled. According to the statistical analysis, the activity data of residents in the base is showing an upward trend. The virus activity level in residents living in the CD area is relatively high, and 10% of them are in a critical state.”

If these 10% of people mutate, then more than 80% of the residents of Zone CD may perish. This is because the mutation not only makes the mutated individuals extremely aggressive, but the mutation is also contagious, inducing others to mutate as well.

Yuan Lei's expression was grave. "Let's isolate these 10% of people."

"Yes, I'll arrange for people to do it right away," Secretary Chen said.

"Is there anything else?" Yuan Lei asked, seeing that Secretary Chen hadn't left yet.

"Base Chief, here's the thing, we've made some new discoveries while comparing the data." Secretary Chen sent Yuan Lei another set of data.

"The amount of virus in the human body in this data is not increasing but decreasing compared to before, and the activity level is also low."

"Huh? Our names are all on there?" Yuan Lei asked, somewhat surprised. "Yes," Secretary Chen nodded.

"Have you analyzed the reasons?" Yuan Lei pondered the differences between them and others.

"We don't know the reason yet," Secretary Chen said. "There are still more than a dozen people on the list living in the CD district. I will personally go and investigate tomorrow."

The reduction in the virus in the bodies of these upper-class people doesn't necessarily mean anything. After all, they have better food and living conditions, don't need to hunt alien beasts outside, and most of them are superhumans, so they have stronger resistance to the virus.

But the situation is completely different for the poor at the bottom of society. In a relatively bad environment, what exactly affects the virus situation in their bodies?
“Okay, investigate thoroughly,” Yuan Lei said, “but we also need to clarify our situation.”

"Yes!"

A busy day passed quickly, and it was time for Shijia to finish her vegetable harvest.

"Boss, can I buy a little more vegetables today?" Wang Junjun asked expectantly.

"Buying something for your friend?"

"Yes, please don't misunderstand, I'm only earning a little bit of delivery fee," Wang Junjun said. "I know that the number of vegetables you can grow now is limited, so I won't take too many. Just sell me another twenty jin."

“Sure,” Shi Jia said casually.

Upon hearing this, Wang Junjun happily said, "That's wonderful, you're such a kind person."

A good person? Yes, she's always been a good person.

"You don't know, people living in working-class areas almost never eat fresh vegetables. The nutritional blocks contain too few vitamins, which has led to many people developing bipolar disorder," Wang Junjun said with lingering fear.

“My neighbor and my friend’s father both got it. Luckily, you gave me some vegetables. I shared some with them, and after they ate them, their manic episodes lessened,” Wang Junjun said gratefully to Shi Jia.

"Bipolar disorder?" Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. She thought of Wang Junjun's appearance when she first met him; he did indeed seem very manic.

“Yes, a lack of vitamins can cause bipolar disorder, a disease that usually only affects the poor. Upper-class people, who occasionally have access to vegetables, are unlikely to develop this disease,” Wang Junjun said calmly.

Shi Jia blinked. How come she had never heard of vitamin deficiency causing mania? Wasn't that caused by an excessive number of viruses disrupting the body's internal balance?

“But now that the boss is here, I believe that in the near future all the poor people in the base will be able to eat vegetables!” Wang Junjun looked at Shi Jia with trust and determination.

Shi Jia felt increasingly pressured, well, not really.

She smiled and said, "There's no need to wait until the future."

"what?"

"Original boss?" Two vehicles arrived outside the greenhouse, an SUV and a small truck, and six people got out.

"Lou Ming, come in," Shi Jia called out.

The tall and strong Lou Ming led the two into the greenhouse. "Boss Yuan, still busy?"

"Almost done, you guys weigh the vegetables first, I'll send you the prices later." Shi Jia waved his hand, and a small mountain of vegetables appeared next to him.

Everyone was astonished; this person's abilities were probably even stronger than they had imagined.

Most of the vegetables Shi Jia brought out were grown in her planting space. She possessed spatial abilities and wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion. If anyone asked, she could simply say they were stored in her space after the fertilization process.

"Haha, Boss Yuan is so straightforward." Lou Ming came back to his senses and said with a smile.

"Boss, what are they doing?" Wang Junjun swallowed hard. Countless questions flashed through his mind, but in the end, he didn't ask them.

"Lou Ming is my business partner. He's in charge of selling my vegetables." Shi Jia said, withdrawing her mental energy. Today's batch of seeds and vegetables had already been successfully germinated.

"These ten catties of vegetables and these two watermelons are your wages. As for the remaining twenty catties, you can choose whatever you want." Shi Jia waved his hand, took out a pre-prepared price list, and walked towards Lou Ming. (End of Chapter)
