#877 - Chapter 877: Fruit Craving
For this visit to Green Origin Base, CEO Yang only brought two of her sisters, leaving the rest of her staff at the base.
To be honest, Yang Xiluo is not an evolver.
Her ability to build a women-only base in the post-apocalyptic world relies on her decisive management skills.
And a group of trustworthy sisters.
Of course, there's also a bit of luck.
The establishment of the Rose Base was not smooth sailing; they had experienced countless hardships in the past year.
The frequent zombie attacks alone were enough to give them a headache. After all, the scent of blood that the members exuded during those few days of the month was enough to make the zombies outside ecstatic and go crazy.
If their base hadn't been located in a hotel on a small mountain, with the advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the continuously repaired and heightened walls after the apocalypse, they probably wouldn't have survived until now.
Even so, base personnel often went missing after being ambushed by male survivors outside.
It wasn't until Rose acquired a large number of weapons from somewhere that the situation improved. After killing many villains who dared to come and capture people, they hung the corpses around the base to form a certain deterrent, which slightly restrained the flies outside.
Of course, it was only slightly better.
During this year of the apocalypse, sisters still frequently disappeared while searching for supplies and food outside.
There were simply too many bad people outside, and even with weapons, they couldn't completely deter them.
Back on the helicopter.
Yang Xiluo looked at the environment outside the window, and her heart gradually began to be amazed.
She saw many buildings surrounded by high walls. If she guessed correctly, those were the small residential areas that Team Leader Chen mentioned!
It's terrifying!
The lowest-level residential area on the outermost periphery of Green Origin alone was 1/3 to 1/2 the size of their Rose Base. Yang Xiluo couldn't imagine how magnificent Green Origin's headquarters would be.
As they continued to fly, her beautiful eyes continued to widen.
She saw the completed Life Belt and the Green Origin headquarters wall not far away!
"Is that... Green Origin headquarters!?"
She was a little speechless because what she saw before her eyes was beyond her imagination.
Even with snow covering it, the huge moat-like ditch was still filled with breathtaking aura!
And the ridiculously high wall behind it, how much manpower and resources would it take to build to this extent!?
Yang Xiluo couldn't imagine.
In such a state of shock, the helicopter quickly arrived at the branch base and landed.
The three Rose Base women walked out of the helicopter in a daze and were led to the corresponding reception area by Green Origin staff who had been sent to greet them.
Sitting in the warm reception conference room, the three of Yang Xiluo sat stiffly in a corner of the large conference table.
A fireplace was crackling with firewood, and a coal stove was lit with charcoal on the other side.
The cold outside seemed to have nothing to do with this place.
What surprised them even more was that there was a plate of fruit on the conference table!
"Those are sugar oranges! And oranges and persimmons!! This isn't a prop! It's the real deal!!"
One of the girls who came with the Rose leader was shocked to find that there was actually fresh fruit here!
She looked twenty-eight or nine years old, not too young, not too old, and was one of the Rose Base's executives!
And an evolver!
Her evolved part is her eyes, possessing terrifying eagle-like vision!
It may not sound like it has any combat power, but it often plays an unexpected auxiliary role in discovering details, or in defending the Rose Base and fighting against the zombie horde.
She was brought by the Rose leader to see the world and see if there would be any special discoveries to learn from and take back to the base for reference.
But now she was shocked by the fruit placed on the table!
"Leader, can we eat them? They're placed here like this, so it should mean we're allowed to eat them, right!?"
The vision girl swallowed her saliva and asked the leader with difficulty.
She was really too greedy!
She knew that her favorite fruit in peacetime was sugar oranges. The wonderful sweetness and taste exploding on the taste buds was definitely an enjoyment.
But being in the post-apocalyptic world, she had long forgotten about this thing.
It is impossible to grow fruit outdoors. The acidic soil outside has caused most plants to become extinct, and various previously common fruit trees are rarely seen.
Even if there were any, countless survivors would pick them as soon as the fruits were not yet ripe.
The vision girl thought she would never see such a thing in her life, but she saw it here!
Looking at the fresh leaves on them, and the fresh marks where the branches were broken, these fruits were likely just picked in the past day or two!
Green Origin is so extravagant that it can even grow fruit!?
Yang Xiluo's heart was also uneasy.
The Rose Base can't even fill their stomachs, but this place has reached this level. How big is the gap?
She believed that Green Origin would definitely not only take out these fruits for them as visitors, because the importance of the Rose Base was not that great.
These fruits are probably very common hospitality items here!
The kind that can be taken at will!
"Hold on! Don't take anything here! We're not here to eat, these fruits might be something that the Lord of Green Origin can eat!"
Although Yang Xiluo hadn't eaten fruit in over a year and was very greedy when she saw the plate, reason told her that it was best not to touch it.
Being known by the people here might make them look down on her.
Hold on.
"If you want to eat, just take it yourself. These things are placed here for everyone to eat!"
Just as Yang Xiluo finished speaking, a full-bodied male voice appeared in the distance at the door!
Who else could it be but Qin Jin!
He happened to walk to the door and heard the people inside discussing the fruit, so he casually added a sentence.
!!!
The three women who were still discussing the fruit immediately stood up and kept looking at the tall figure who ignored their presence, walked straight to the head of the conference room, and sat down unceremoniously. The two Green Origin staff members who had previously received the three of them were carefully following behind him!
The identity of this man is self-evident!
The Lord of Green Origin Base!
That legendary CEO Qin!?
He's so young!!
Although rumors said that the man who created Green Origin was not old, most survivors would think that those were deliberately spread embellishments to beautify the big boss.
Who would have thought the rumors were actually true!
"This is CEO Qin, the leader of our Green Origin Base, and the person you wanted to see!"
Wang Yang said with a smile, introducing the people from the Rose Base.
