Chapter 958 Yan Dong Base's Request for Help

"Jingle Bell--"

The office phone rang, breaking the silence of the room.

"Hello, this is the office of the deputy base commander of Yanzhong Base." Secretary Chen answered the phone quickly.

"I am Fu Ruochen, the commander of the Yandong Base. I need to speak with the former commander." Fu Ruochen's voice sounded very tired.

Secretary Chen quickly looked at Yuan Lei, "It's Fu Ruochen, the base chief of Yandong Base."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lei quickly picked up the phone. "This is Yuan Lei."

After hearing what was said on the phone, Yuan Lei's expression changed slightly, and he pressed the speakerphone button. "Base Commander Fu, I'm really in a difficult position with your request. As you know, the 'virus' is active now, and the mutation situation is intensifying. The base is facing a beast tide at any time. Just the day before yesterday, our base encountered a fairly large beast tide."

Everyone in the office was taken aback. Was there a beast tide the day before yesterday?

"At this time, it is really difficult for us to spare manpower to support the Yandong base."

“I understand your base’s predicament, but as official bases of the Yanmu Kingdom, we should help each other. How about this: every ability user who comes to the Yandong base for rescue will be rewarded with 300,000 contribution points and one purification session?” Fu Ruochen was practically giving away a huge sum.

That one purification alone was enough to make most superhumans envious.

As mentioned earlier, the planet Yi Jupiter is full of 'viruses'. Whether it is a human or an animal, as long as they can breathe, they inhale 'viruses' every moment. Because they have antibodies and special abilities, these viruses do not cause harm to people. However, when they accumulate to a certain point, they will erupt, such as mania or mutation.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the others first and call you back later." Yuan Lei said to Fu Ruochen, hung up the phone, and looked at everyone.

"Base Commander Han, the Yan Dong Base has experienced a full-scale outbreak of mutations. Base Commander Fu Ruochen has requested that our base send superhumans to assist in suppressing the mutations."

Han Shanyue frowned deeply. "Is it that serious? Do you know what the cause is?"

Yuan Lei nodded, glancing at the others, "The specifics are still unclear, but Fu Ruochen spoke to me before, saying that the virus is unusually active and has already caused several cases of mutations in ordinary residents. I think this outbreak is closely related to this."

"The virus's unusual activity is global, so we now have to consider not only the issue of rescuing the Yandong base, but also preventing a large-scale mutation from breaking out at our base."

Han Shanyue nodded. "You're right. By the way, didn't the report just say that eating vegetables helps reduce the activity of viruses in the human body?"

“Yes!” Yuan Lei nodded.

"Alright, Ye Qingxuan, let's distribute the vegetables that have been forced to grow recently directly to the residents of the base. Let's get through this first." Han Shanyue looked at the group of people.

Ye Qingxuan, who was named, was the head of the resource allocation department. He looked bitter and quickly waved his hand, "Base director, it won't work. The daily output of the breeding base is already low. It's not enough to distribute to the base residents. If we distribute it, we won't be able to make nutrient blocks. The leaders won't have their daily supply either."

"If we can't make nutritional blocks, then we won't make them, leaders..."

"Nonsense, Han Shanyue, you're trying to create chaos at the base. You call yourself the base commander..." Elder Li and Elder Fang, unable to contain themselves, quickly interrupted Han Shanyue, "Without nutrient blocks, how will the base's residents survive..."

The two old men spoke very passionately, and at first glance it seemed they were speaking for the people of the base, but upon closer inspection, they were simply trying to protect their own interests.

Han Shanyue and Yuan Lei exchanged a glance, said nothing, and quietly watched their performance.

“But the situation is urgent. If an anomaly also occurs at our Yanzhong base, we might not even have the chance to ask other bases for help.” Han Shanyue quietly looked at this group of people who were blinded by greed and only cared about profit. “Elder Li, Elder Fang, Uncle, what do you suggest we do?”

"Alright then, the vegetables and fruits produced by your daughter, Yuan Muxia, can be distributed to the people at the base. As for the production of the cultivation base, it will remain as it is." Old Fang made the final decision. Old Li wanted to say something, but after being glared at by him, he fell silent.

"Alright, then we'll do as Elder Fang arranges." Han Shanyue nodded.

"Deputy Base Commander Yuan, summon the hunting team leaders still at the base to discuss rescuing Yanzhong Base." "Yes, sir."

"Three seniors, we're too busy here to entertain you any longer." Han Shanyue waved his hand, and the enforcement team began to shoo them away.

"Wait, Han Shanyue, what do you plan to do with Li Nan?" Old Li asked. Although they were no longer related by blood, Li Nan was still his own descendant and usually filial. He would take advantage of any opportunity he could.

"He violated several base regulations. He'll be sent to a temporary detention center for now, and we'll investigate him more thoroughly after we've finished this matter. However, based on the current evidence, a life sentence is inevitable," Han Shanyue said with a smile. "What? Does Elder Li have any suggestions?"

Old Li shuddered; he felt that Han Shanyue's eyes were particularly eerie.

"Alright, take care. I'll come visit you when I have time."

Shi Jia stormed back to the farm, but all her anger and frustration vanished when she saw the hardworking employees and the endless fields.

Hmph, those people aren't worth getting angry at!
"Boss, you're back! We've planted lettuce on all eight acres as you requested." Wang Junjun rushed over to Shi Jia as soon as he saw her. "Now we'll plow the more than one hundred acres we've already cultivated, dig drainage ditches, and then we can plant wheat."

“Okay, I’ll go encourage the lettuce to grow faster. You guys water it once in a bit.” Shi Jia pointed and led you toward the lettuce.

"Ok."

The lettuce was planted quite densely, so Shi Jia didn't go to the center of the vegetable patch to unleash her supernatural power. Instead, she walked around while urging the lettuce to grow.

To better allocate her supernatural abilities, she only forced the lettuce to grow into seedlings with a single true leaf. However, by forcing it to grow twice a day, along with the fertilizer she had prepared, she could harvest eight acres of thick, juicy lettuce in three days at the latest.

Lettuce wraps with meat, garlic lettuce...

Her thoughts wandered freely, and before long she was drooling with envy.

"It's decided, we'll have lettuce for lunch." Shi Jia clapped his hands, and after stimulating the growth of eight acres of lettuce, he excitedly returned to the greenhouse and squatted in the small vegetable garden to stimulate its growth.

"Aunt Luo, come here for a moment." Shi Jia shook her hands, and sighed. She had overused her powers and needed to rest.

A moment later, a tall, thin woman walked into the greenhouse. "Boss, did you call me?" The next second, her attention was drawn to the mountain of lettuce.

On the tender green leaves, glistening dewdrops shimmered with iridescent light in the sunlight, making the lettuce appear as if dripping with water. The unique fragrance of the lettuce wafted into her nostrils, and she was completely captivated, shouting, "Garlic lettuce, oyster sauce lettuce, hot pot, barbecue..."

Saliva uncontrollably flowed out.

"Cough-cough-"

"Ah—I'm sorry, boss, I, I—" Luo Yuxiang wiped her mouth, overwhelmed with shame.

"It's alright, today's pay is lettuce. Weigh it out first, then wash ten pounds for lunch." Shi Jia waved his hand and took out a two-meter-long strange beast. "Do you know how to handle sheep?"

Luo Yuxiang nodded. She had worked in the hotel for over ten years and had cooked for various cuisines.

"Okay, it's almost noon. You can cut some meat and make some cumin lamb first. We can deal with the rest this afternoon and have roast lamb for dinner." Shi Jia said, trying to suppress her drooling.

Luo Yuxiang nodded, but hesitated before speaking, "Boss, but this is a strange beast."

"Don't worry, I've already purified it, it's safe to eat."

Luo Yuxiang's eyes lit up, and she cheered.
