章節 22: The Villagers
Amelia ended up making a lot of medicine. Since it was so peaceful in the woods and also because the level of her fire spell has increased with her cultivation realm. She is therefore able to create more batches of pills in a single session.
After doing all this, she went outside it is already sun sat. She looked at the messy place, full of leaves and plants including trees. She closed her eyes and communicated with the plants.
She pushed her plant power into other plants and one by one they uprooted themselves and organized themselves around the cabin making a large fence after creating a large space in the yard.
The ground became green with soft grass and a wooden table materialized on the side and next to a small flower garden.
The two floors cabin looks very beautiful outside with the thick shining wood blending together as if melted in place. The windows are made from wood and can close and open to let in the sunlight.
The place seems very decent. The fence is many trees side by side with intertwined branches as if a tall wall made from branches.
Seeing her handy work, she smiled. Now that dog wont have to stay in the house even if it doesn't want to. There is even a gate. The power is pretty awesome.
She walked back to the base after placing the meat and making a wooden tank, she filled it with water and connected it to the tub. And the pipe lets out the water all the way our of the house.
When she had just gotten in the base, her walkie made a sound. "Yes." She said in a better mood than usual.
"Leader, that group from the village had come and we arranged them as you advised but there is a problem." Old Mo's tired voice sounded.
"Go on."
"There is over three thousand of them Including those they took along the way. The children alone are over 400. The old is a whooping 600 then there's the young and able but it is mostly women at 1030 the rest is men."
"I believe we still have enough space old Mo."
"Yes but the women do not want to work, they are adamant on being housewives and mothers."
"Give them supplies and transport to go to the B base. There are shacks there fir the lazy people." Amelia's good mood just disappeared.
"The men are the reason they don't want to work."
"Call the nine kings to chase them all out of the base in one day." Amelia dropped the call.
Mo decided to do as told so he will not have a headache. Soon all the people in the two outside buildings were called to the gate.
When someone tried to hide they were ruthlessly pulled to the group. The young people are standing there looking wronged.
"My name is Yue. I have orders from the leader to take you outside the base."
A commotion ensued. "No, why are you chasing us out? Do you want us to get eaten by those disgusting creatures?"
"Yeah, have you decided to feed us to the zombies to save yourselves?"
"The base is not a free shelter. You have to pay rent and buy food when you live inside. If you starve, you may die and when that happens you will turn into a zombie and kill innocent people. If you do not want to work then you should go to a place where useless people are kept." Three said with distaste.
"How do you speak? Is that how you should address others? Truly a beast. You people don't even care for human lives at all." agreeing mummers sounded all around.
Yue looked at Xiao Aang and nodded. Aang has a very powerful spirit power. She made all of them fall asleep except for a few men. She didn't even move from her position but over 900 people fell to the ground one after another.
"The few of you are responsible for driving your women out of the base." The nine kings took out their powers and released their powerful mental pressure laced with killing Intent. The few civilians cowered and wanted to hide.
"Put them in those trucks and busses. Do it quickly if the leader sees and hears what you all said, you will all die an miserable death.
The men coward and wanted to refuse but they are usually standing there letting the women talk now they are speechless.
"Quickly we don't have all day. The supplies will be five before you all leave." Liqu said coldly.
Wei Jin is in the crowd watching with no expression on his face. He had warned these people of what would happen if they disobeyed a direct rule from the base.
"We will work please. There are children at home they need their mothers." A brave soul said. They had initially wanted to assert dominance and show this place the power of unity but now they regret it.
This place is truly run by lawlessness. How can 900 people can be oppressed like this with single move?
"Do what I said this is not the democratic republic, there is only person who establishes the rules, all of us just obey. Who do you think you are to resist a reasonable rule that is meant to keep everyone safe from each other?" Three said coldly.
"Excuse me, may I offer a solution?" One of Wei Jin's companions came forward.
"Speak." Li Jie said with authority.
"The base had just established a farming space. These women are all proficient in cultivating land, as long as they don't have to go outside to fight zombies they won't be resistant to the idea of working." His name is Fu Lei.
When the men heard 'farming' they quickly agreed and the women were taken to the administration office for employment ID.
When they woke up and found out they can form land and not go to fight zombies they agreed immediately. Li Jie still thought it is a waste of resources but the loophole is there and there is no way to dispute their choice.
The next day the base was back to it's peacefulness with only the shadow guardians training and the market construction.
The pace of farming crops increased significantly with the help of the experts. Wei Jin sighed with relief now he can take his brother to the B base where their parents are waiting for them.
Amelia called in Qin Ai and his sister Qin Meng. She handed the pill to him so he can coax the girl to eat the pill. Seeing a dark red pill, the girl became agitated. Her eyes became dilated and she began struggling from her brother's embrace.
"Big brother what is this? I'm scared." She is not too rude to her brother even when she can feel a dangerous feeling from the red pill. Amelia didn't say anything and just watched like it has nothing to do with her.
"I will never hurt you Meng'er, you have to trust your big brother Alright? Eat the pill." He said lightly until his tone is very heavy.
Meng didn't want to eat the pill and started pointing at Amelia while she raised her voice. "It's this bitch isn't it? She is the one who wants to kill me. Brother, how can you trust an outsider to our own sister?"
Qin Ai saw it, the paranoia to the point of delusional. She started trying to run a way but her body is very weak so she can not make it too far. Her eyes started turning bloodshot and slowly turning blue.
Seeing this, Amelia released fragrance and everyone came down relaxing their tense nerves and then fell to the ground. She walked to the girl and staffed the pill in her mouth.
She then recalled her power helping the people to try regain clarity on their expressions. The girl has long been dead. Qin Ai wakes up and rushed to the little sister but she is stopped by Amelia.
"Stay away from her, unless you want the worms to enter your body next." Just as she spoke there is movement on the girl's ears. Worms thumb sized came out of her body looking for the nearest host.
It is a disgusting experience just to watch. Amelia put the things in a bottle. She wrapped them in mental power and disarmed them before putting them in a bottle. It took 5 minutes for all the worms to come out and enter the bottle.
Amelia has been using her mental power all this time but it didn't affect her too much.
"What are these things?" Qin asked with obvious disgust in his expression.
"II's just a low level parasitic life form found in deep fresh water, It is born in a cold environment, they are generally cold blooded but yearns for vitality and constant warmth found in other living organisms."
Qin Ai realized his sister would have eventually been killed by these things. "What happens next?" He asked looking at his sister.
"Wait for her to wake up and then leave my consultation room. Take care of her and make sure she eats nutritious foods to recover her vitality."
"That's it? She is cured?"
"Not completely. The girl will age sooner than most people but not too obvious because the things are gone. Her vitality had been sucked all this time. She needs a rejuvenating medicine." Amelia took out a copy of her notice.
"Find this plant, is it like a youth fountain in fantasy world. It will bring back what was lost. However, this matter is not urgent so focus on the job and send out a task in the mission hall. Be careful not to have her drink too much of the staff lest she turns into an infant." Amelia said.
"Brother..." A weak voice sounded. It has already been ten minutes now and the girl has come back from death.
Qin Ai went to his sister "Meng'er are you feeling okay? Does it hurt somewhere?"
"Now everyone, please leave." The secretary opened the doors and the Qin boss picked up his sister before leaving.
"He didn't even say thank you." Bai said in displeasure.
"I don't need it. What I want is for him to hurry up and train my shadow guardians." Amy said in a dismissive tone.
....
Weigh Jin is the first born of the Wei family head he has a younger mischievous brother who had gone to the village for inspection. Jin went there to look for him and to bring him back home but his brother had become one of the prominent people in the village and wanted to help the villagers find a safe place before departure.
This is in fact the older brother of the male lead. In the novel he didn't make it back with his brother because he had died saving his brother during a hunt in the mountains when the food had run out and they needed to eat.
By the time female lead comes, the male lead is grieving and when she made him feel something other than grief, he held on to her like a lifeline. He is an outspoken person so no one really knew his feelings unless he wants to express them.
In this life, his brother didn't die because most dangerous animals in the mountains moved to the depths of the mountains where the snake used to rule. The brothers also left the village before Liang Mei came for the fruit.
The Wei family is one of the most influential families in the B base. In the text, the male lead doesn't want to be a leader because of his grief. He had always worked hard mainly to impress his older brother who practically raised him because their parents are career people.
So he didn't want the position that made him work so much when his brother is no longer around. Therefore he supported Liang Mei when she made a grab for the seat.
.....
The base is even more bustling than before, there is a sharp increase in people. Seeing this scene, Amelia put more items in the lower floors so that when the market is finished in two days they will sell all these clothes and general items.
The market seems well organized. The large visitors parking a small distance from the main gate has a long curved one floor building that is separated into many small rooms, the ceiling goes out to cover most of the front face. if there is rain, the goods will not be wet. There is a strong wooden door and a metal foldable bar gate that can be locked for each stall.
Each of these come with a foldable wooden table to put the items on display. In front of their assigned space, people can put small easy to carry items such as earrings and accessories.
A distance away in front of this curved long building is a set of stone tables and chairs for the customers to seat and chat. There is a small wall separating the two sections it is not high enough to isolate but to ensure those seated are not disturbed by those walking and buying on the other side. There are bins to throw trash every two stone tables.
This is the open stalls sections. The second section is created close to the three buildings, one of which is the base restaurant, the other is a temporary shelter and lastly a clinic for the residents staying in the outside buildings.
There are now 8 more story buildings in the same lane and the one facing it. So a total of 16 small buildings have been constructed in less than four weeks thanks to the rapid increase in the supernatural powers of the people in this hospital base.
This section is more spacious with each building having a clear territory of land. It is called the night-less market. This is because there will be 24 hours services in some these businesses. People are amazed at the beautiful place it is as if the apocalypse has not happened. There is also plumbing and built in cabinetry, the base even had paint to color the walls of the buildings.
The base told everyone what was going on and now people want to know the rent for such places so they can start their own businesses. There is a good distance between the two shopping sections so there is no problem with space.
Soon after the water and electricity is in place for both places, the base started hiring workers who will clean the street, guards and the administrators who will keep records of all the income and proceedings of both markets.
The upside of saving a bunch of highly educated people is the efficiency of their work. In less than a week the places have already been rented and operating.
There are street lamps preventing dark place especially in the alleys. The rules are enforced with fever now that the consequences have been seen.
...
Amelia and decided to open up a large outside area for building factories. The apocalypse will not be without materials for making cloth all that is needed is for people to find them. The world already has mutated plants and normal materials in the ground that are turned into cotton. The sheep and animals still exist to provide wool and leather.
Amelia went to check on Jack jack before going to post a big mission in the mission board. To travel to the factory area south and uproot factory equipment and all the machinery. Bring everything back. Focus on food and clothing factories.
There are also various tasks to collect plants and ground materials location identification. Bring the information to the general office. A dazzling row of rewards are also posted to motivate people.
Amelia intends to open factories to produce clothes and food products. There is also a weaponry factory in the future. After posting the notices she went to check if non of the materials she had posted before were found.
To her surprise there are hundreds of kg in weight. Plants of various types stored for her to collect. She didn't stand on ceremony and took them into her space directly. Someone even brought back the weeping willow numbering in 12 units. She became speechless.
Did they not know the importance of these plants? They even gave so many? But she had written the use for them on each notice including the characteristics and appearance. In any case she planted them back inside her space.
The land available has increased by a lot after she broke through to the second realm. She is able to plant all of them making appropriate space in between. Looking at the mystic fruits, she harvested them one by one careful to separate them accordingly.
There is berries, carrot, Chrysanthemum leaves, mung bean sprouts, lotus roots, gai choy, Chinese broccoli, water cabbage, snow pea shoots, white radish, potatoes and eggplants.
She kept the mutated ones for herself and sent the normal spirit ones to the secretary spaces so they will remain fresh until they are planted on the land outside.
There are three small gates going to this direction but one of them is not working. She went and as soon as she came out she is greeted by dense trees and wild weeds. Releasing her power she communicated with the plants and they all retreated back.
She kept infusing her plant power and will to them and the further they went. The place is then deserted with just rough soil and stones for miles in space. She spent four days like this, in the end the forest surrounding the the base on the South and east side retreated back leaving a large open space.
The forest in the west and northwest is where Jack jack has a cabin. The fifth day she brought people with earth supernatural powers sto help her create a foundation when they finished she poured the metal paste and used wood to create a solution 6 meters wide wall. She didn't forget to make several gates but it took her an entire two weeks to finish this project.
The height is halt the one Agatha built. She only put the paste in the foundation and gave the job of painting to the members of the base. After this action, the base will fave influx of jobs and no one will be unemployed for a while. It is confirmed there are no large shelters in the nearby cities and to the south all the villagers have come up in a great fanfare collecting small shelters residents along the way.
