The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

"Brothers, help me write down this map."

Ye Xiao greeted the fans in the live stream room. Many fans had been waiting in the live stream room since early morning.

[Sanhu: Don't worry, Xiaoge, I've already taken the photos and sent them to the group.]

Upon receiving the reply, Ye Xiao folded the map again and carefully placed it on the bedside table above Lan Ling.

The water at the base is very particular. Yesterday, the water from the tap was almost like pee, but today the flow is much stronger.

This is probably because there is plenty of rainwater, so there is no need for excessive filtration.

After washing up and leaving the room, Ye Xiao carefully closed the door.

Ah Zhao and the others had already gotten up, but they hadn't cooked. After all, in the apocalypse, eating breakfast was a luxury.

Where is Chen Ge?

Seeing that Chen Ge and Lao Han were not in the living room, Ye Xiao casually asked a question.

Ah Zhao slumped lazily in his chair, swinging his legs, and pointed to the door.

"Brother Chen and Lao Han went out."

Seeing that Ye Xiao was about to leave with Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai, he quickly sat up and asked:

"Xiao-ge, what are you guys doing?"

"Let's go ask if there are any jobs available, since it's the rainy season and we might not have enough food."

After hearing Ye Xiao's words, the people in the living room were somewhat embarrassed and at a loss for what to do, but Ye Xiao and the other two had already left the house.

Today, there seemed to be more people in quarantine zone one than yesterday. As the three of them walked through the lounge area, they heard many people discussing the situation outside the base.

Chen Ge and Lao Han happened to be leaning against the corridor, chatting with a few other adventurers. When they saw Ye Xiao and his two companions, he greeted them and walked over to them.

"I heard that the rain outside is even heavier today, and all the survivors living on the ground have closed their doors and windows tightly. The night wanderers outside are even more active."

"I heard from people who rushed back from outside today that the alien species are very active. I just don't know how long this rainy season will last. If it lasts a long time, the alien species will probably enter their active period."

"The mutant species' active period?" Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Isn't this the mutant species' active period right now?"

Chen Ge shook his head. "It's not like that yet. When the real active period arrives, there's a high chance that a large number of people will gather at the base, which will be very dangerous."

Chen Ge looked at Ye Xiao and asked, puzzled, "By the way, where are you guys headed?"

Ye Xiao gestured towards Zone 2 with his lip, "Let's see if there's any work available."

Chen Ge nodded. "The base is organizing adventure teams to prepare for external pressure."

"I've already registered Ah Zhao and the others. When the seed cores are cleared, they'll get some too. At least we won't have to worry about rent next month."

Ye Xiao was satisfied with Chen Ge's arrangement, since they had no more stock except for that one large seed core.

That thing is said to be very rare, and Ye Xiao doesn't want to take it out easily.

"Okay, then you all need to be careful. If you get injured unavoidably, come find me immediately."

After chatting for a while, Ye Xiao and his two companions arrived at the entrance of Zone 2.

The two guards at the gate were sitting by the door, drinking tea and chatting.

Upon seeing Ye Xiao and his two companions approach, one of them raised his hand and knocked on the iron gate, causing a small opening to appear at the top.

“Those three asymptomatic individuals from yesterday have arrived.”

A few seconds later, the door was opened, and it was the same uncle from yesterday who opened it.

"You're here? Your blood test results from yesterday are in. Come with me."

Ye Xiao and his two companions followed the uncle back to the physical examination room from yesterday, where Dr. Liao was looking through a record book.

"Good, they're all quite healthy. We'll have their blood drawn today, and then once a week thereafter."

Ye Xiao and the other two rolled up their sleeves and sat down to the side. Dr. Liao then inserted injections into all three of them.

Fresh blood flowed into the blood bag through the vacuum tube, while Uncle Liao chatted with Ye Xiao on the side.

"I heard you live with several mutants?"

Ye Xiao nodded, and Dr. Liao instructed:

"Then be careful. Although you won't be contaminated in your daily life, if you have any wounds, you might get their blood on you."

"You two should be more careful when you get along."

Ye Xiao nodded to indicate that he had made a mental note, and the uncle next to him chuckled:

“Those guys are lucky. With the three of you here, they can save a lot of seed cores. Staying in this quarantine zone isn’t cheap. There are five seed cores outside, but it’s double that down here.”

If it doubles, wouldn't that be ten ordinary seed nuclei?

They only provided two medium-sized seed cores, along with shops and accommodations, which seems to be special treatment for asymptomatic individuals.

However, it makes sense, as asymptomatic individuals are an important source of inhibitors, so this "special treatment" should be given.

Ye Xiao changed the subject, "By the way, Uncle, the three of us want to find jobs, where do we apply?"

The middle-aged man frowned. "Didn't you say yesterday that you weren't going to work?"

Ye Xiao laughed awkwardly, "It's not the rainy season, so we can't go out!"

The uncle nodded knowingly, "There aren't many asymptomatic individuals like you who are young and strong in the base. I'll take you to the workshop in a bit."

"Hey, Uncle Xie!"

After the blood was drawn, Zhou Qirui sat in his seat for a while before standing up, while Ye Xiao and Liang Kai didn't seem to feel much.

The three of them then followed the uncle out of Zone 2 and walked along the outer passage deeper into the area.

The passageway was divided in two by an iron railing. Next to the iron gate inside was an office desk, and beside the desk was a metal filing cabinet.

A sound came from deep within, somewhat chaotic, yet vaguely regular and rhythmic.

A man in his fifties, wearing glasses, sat at the desk, flipping through an old book, ignoring the people standing in front of him.

"Old Zhang, three young men have arrived. They're here to work. Here are their medical examination forms."

The middle-aged man slammed three forms on the table. The man named Lao Zhang looked up from his book and glanced at the medical examination forms on the table.

Then, he glanced at Ye Xiao and the other two before putting down his book and carefully looking at the medical examination form.

Old Zhang's gaze swept over Ye Xiao from head to toe before he said, "Lift up your arm and let me see!"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, reached out and pulled down his jacket, revealing a worn-out T-shirt underneath that showed off his well-defined muscles.

"Hmm, you're in good shape. Can you stay up late at night?"

Ye Xiao nodded, "No problem."

Old Zhang nodded and said, "Perfect timing. We're short of guards for night patrols right now, so you can patrol tonight."

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded. He hadn't expected that Zhou Qirui's prediction was correct.

"Hey, okay!"

Old Zhang then turned his gaze to Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai, "What are you two good at?"

Liang Kai chuckled and raised his hand, "I know auto repair and have some mechanical knowledge."

"You know about machinery, then go work in a factory."

As Old Zhang spoke, he glanced at Zhou Qirui and asked, "What about you? What are your skills?"

Zhou Qirui scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed. Old Zhang gave him a disdainful look.

"Looks like you don't know anything, then go to the factory."
