This time, no one objected, and many people even gave relatively reliable suggestions. Among them, what Lin Xiaoxiao cared about most was the question raised by Qian Duoduo.

“There are now too many people and too few jobs in the shelter, and most ordinary people can only be sent to reclaim wasteland.

But with the arrival of spring, the soil softened, and the research institute made a breakthrough in agricultural machinery. The work of reclaiming wasteland no longer required so many people, and most ordinary people returned to being without work and without income.

Qian Duoduo's words weren't exaggerated, and many people from other departments nodded in agreement. Ling Hao, representing the hunting team, raised his hand and said, "Ordinary people don't have jobs, which corresponds to a shortage of manpower in our hunting team. Meanwhile, the patrol team and the laboratory are also very short-staffed."

Professor Li, who was attending the meeting, pushed his glasses up when Ling Hao mentioned the lab. "Director Lin, the lab has hired a group of lab assistants, but we don't have the time to train these newcomers. Can we find someone to train them?"

Several researchers at the Hope Sanctuary were recruited from the Wang family before. Where are the extra people now to train new people?

Staring at Professor Li with expectation, Lin Xiaoxiao could only console him: "Let's deal with this matter later. It's not easy to find a mentor. Maybe we'll have to go to an official shelter."

As for whether the official shelter can currently attract experimental researchers, Lin Xiaoxiao does not have much hope, because these high-end intellectuals are in the hands of a few major families, and it may not be so easy for her to bring them back.

Fortunately, it was not all bad news. Ling Hao proposed the idea of ​​recruiting more ordinary people into the hunting team, but the recruitment requirements he put forward were somewhat different from the past.

“Ordinary people may not be as powerful as awakened ones in terms of combat power, but I think the hunting team could recruit a group of members mainly for support.

These recruited ordinary people will be trained together with the awakened ones. They can perform tasks such as transporting supplies and handling hunting resources during field exploration, which can create a better exploration environment for the awakened ones.

With the coordination and training of super weapons, I believe they will become the most capable assistants of the awakened ones.

Of course, this requires great courage and extraordinary wisdom, and I hope to redesign the content of the recruitment exam based on this goal and need."

After hearing these words, not only Lin Xiaoxiao, but many people present had their eyes lit up, because it meant that ordinary people could finally carve out a place for themselves in this chaotic apocalypse.

According to Ling Hao's idea, as long as the cooperation is proper, the strength and work efficiency of the hunting team will be greatly improved, and then the refuge will be able to obtain more resources.

"They say you can't become fat in one bite, and returning to the surface won't happen overnight. I have a compromise."

Finding that no one had any new ideas, Lin Xiaoxiao put forward her own idea: "Ground living areas must be established, but in order to ensure safety, ground living areas must be equipped with rapid escape routes.

These tunnels can be directly connected to the underground area where we live now, so that everyone can evacuate quickly in the event of an attack."

Looking at Qian Duoduo, Lin Xiaoxiao directly gave the order: "The construction of the ground residential area and the underground passage will be handed over to the Government Affairs Office. If you need help, you can ask the hunting team to help mobilize manpower.

Ling Hao, have the team members assist the Administrative Office in building the ground living area as quickly as possible. If you're worried about an attack from the mutant birds, you can have Wang Luo set up the formation first."

Seeing Wang Luo nod, Lin Xiaoxiao stood up and smiled: "If there is nothing else, everyone can go back. Let's try to make the Spring Festival Banquet in three days as lively as possible."

Soon, the news of the Spring Banquet to be held three days later spread throughout the shelter. The first people to get excited were those who planned to start a small business and immediately began to buy the necessary ingredients.

As a result, all the prey brought back by the hunting team every day were sold out, and some people even paid the hunting team members to help them find the food they needed.

The children who were originally studying were also gathered together by their teachers to rehearse programs, and the shelter was filled with the faint sound of childish singing from morning to night.

Amid the singing, people were sowing seeds and watering the newly cultivated land. In the square in front of the shelter, a group of people were busy setting up a venue for the Spring Banquet Market.

At the hunting team's training ground, members were carefully checking the instruments used for assessment, while in the kitchen the chef was preparing the menu for the day's spring banquet. The aroma of the food mixed with the spring breeze gradually drifted away.

Three days passed in a flash. That morning, Lin Xiaoxiao put on the combat uniform with the best protection. The silver-white metal armor made her look particularly heroic.

Walking through the underground corridors, she encountered residents with happy faces, all of whom were hurrying towards the shelter exit.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao, they greeted her warmly, and someone even stuffed a boiled egg into her pocket and said, "Director, you haven't eaten yet, right? This egg is freshly boiled."

A child carefully grabbed her finger and asked, "Sister, would you like some vegetable dumplings? These are made with wild vegetables that my mom dug up herself. They're delicious."

The buns were warm to the touch, and Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but rub the child's tender face: "Thank you, but sister is going to the restaurant to eat, you can keep this bun for yourself."

Although the residents were very welcoming, Lin Xiaoxiao ultimately did not accept the food they gave her in order to avoid favoritism. To avoid misunderstandings, she carefully explained: "My friends invited me to dinner today. If I accept everyone's food, I'm afraid I won't have enough to eat.

I appreciate everyone's kindness and hope everyone has a great time today."

Not daring to stay any longer, Lin Xiaoxiao quickened her pace and entered the cafeteria. Yu Xiang, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went into the kitchen and brought her the prepared breakfast.

"Try it. This is a new dish I recently developed. It uses ingredients from mutant plants and animals."

Looking at the crystal siumai with translucent skin in front of her, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to pick it up and take a bite. The rich aroma of meat immediately activated her taste buds.

"Mm, it tastes really good. I feel a lot more energetic."

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's satisfied expression, Yu Xiang's shoulders drooped and she completely relaxed. She nodded in approval: "Yes, the combination of these ingredients can indeed make people energetic. I have tested it on ordinary animals before."

"What about the other things? Like this bowl of eight-treasure porridge?"

In fact, Lin Xiaoxiao was not quite sure whether the bowl in front of her was Eight Treasure Porridge, because the ingredients in it seemed to be a little different from those before the end of the world.

"It contains the eyes of mutant spiders, and it tastes sweet, much like the popping pearls in milk tea. The water used to cook the porridge is made from the water soaked in mutant plants. This bowl of porridge is very joyful to drink. After all, I feel very happy after drinking it."

Looking at the round dark red beads in the bowl, Lin Xiaoxiao's smile froze a little: "Are you sure this is edible?"

"Of course, I've tried it many times myself, and even my sister has tried it, and there's no problem."

"Really? After hearing what you said, I think I wouldn't be happy even if I drank it."
