Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 600

Chapter 600: One After Another (2)

"What kind of tasks were given to you?" While Shen Zhen was arranging work for the pregnant women, Bai Meiyue was also facing the elderly who had been settled in the west wing. This place was a bit close to the main mansion. After all, they were no longer young, and if something happened to them, Bai Meiyue would be able to help them in time.

Of course, she hoped that such a thing wouldn’t happen.

One of the elderly stepped forward and replied, "There were no tasks given to us. Officer Fox told us that we didn’t need to work hard, as our son was out there working hard to make sure that our lives were comfortable. He would bring us supplies and –uh, he would even give us crystal nuclei every time he came to see us."

When Bai Meiyue heard his words, she frowned. It seemed like Fox had already ruined their habits; this won’t do. How was she supposed to take care of this pampered lot? She sighed and then said to them, "Then you all can start by watering and taking care of the crops in the greenhouse."

She paused and added, "Is there anyone who knows how to make manure?"

A few of the old women looked at one another and then raised their hands. They looked tentative, as if they didn’t want to work hard, but they had no other choice. Well, indeed, they had no other choice!

Bai Meiyue nodded appreciatively. She said, "You all can join the team that is in charge of making manure. Don’t worry; as long as you are willing to work hard, you will live a good life until your sons, daughters, or grandchildren take you away."

Listening to the words of the woman in front of them, the elderly turned sombre and resigned. There were a few who didn’t like it and were dejected, but there were also some who understood the situation and agreed. They knew that they could no longer live in the same fashion as before; after all, the reason Yu Miaomiao was treating them so well was because the woman wanted to keep them dependent on her, such that they would not entertain thoughts of escaping.

The elderly had seen how much their family members had suffered, so naturally, they wouldn’t want to fall into the same pit again. With Bai Meiyue telling them to work, at least they were certain that Bai Meiyue would not use them as leverage against their children.

Bai Meiyue did not have so many thoughts. She settled the old and young before turning around and heading out of the mansion. When she reached the backyard, she saw the plants that she had planted across the boundaries of the mansion reach out and attack the mutated goat that had walked a bit too far from the shelter.

Seeing the bush attack the mutated goat, Bai Meiyue was not surprised. Since this mansion was not under the attack of the mutated bugs, she knew that these bushes must be having a hard time getting the nutrition that they usually got in the penthouse. Anyway, they had too much livestock, and with the growing rate of these mutated animals, she didn’t have to worry about running out of meat. Like, ever.

She watched the potted bush spit out a round of fur on the ground and clicked her tongue.

Tong Huan panted heavily and then said, "It’s—Its..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
