Inside the cafeteria.

The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly enthusiastic.

The survivors clamored to help, to contribute their share, and to ask Lin Mo to assign them jobs.

"Everyone, please calm down."

"I promise everyone will have something to do in the future, but you'll have to wait a little while, as I'm not ready yet."

The survivors gradually calmed down.

They didn't want to be useless people who just laze around and wait to die, but this matter couldn't be rushed. Lin Mo's words were enough.

At this moment.

Lin Mo seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "The other work isn't ready yet."

"But recently there seems to be a unit that needs to recruit a lot of people, so maybe you can go and help out."

The nearby survivors became excited again.

"Mr. Lin, what organization do you work for?"

"I'm signing up right now! I can do any dirty or hard work, and I absolutely won't slack off!"

"Count me in. I'm practically useless from lying in bed all day. Please find me a job quickly."

Lin Mo slowly said, "The company that is hiring is a breeding farm."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The noisy discussions immediately ceased, and the survivors' expressions became incredibly strange, the atmosphere suddenly shifting.

Farms are not good places.

There are no secrets in the world, and they knew a little bit about some of the things related to it.

The canteen and the breeding farm.

Both of these places employ internal staff and will absolutely not recruit externally.

Even related topics are not allowed to be discussed.

"I know what everyone is worried about."

"But you can rest assured that the situation you are worried about will not happen again. I believe everyone is aware of this during this period of time."

That's true.

The cafeteria had been serving normal food for a while, and they hadn't seen anything so dark and murky in a long time.

Thinking about this...

The survivors' expressions improved slightly, and one of them mustered up the courage to ask, "Mr. Lin."

"May I ask what the situation is like at the farm now, and what kind of work we would have done there?"

Lin Mo turned to the boy who had asked the question, "Let the person in charge of the farm answer this question for you."

Among the high-ranking officials.

A middle-aged man stepped forward, glanced at the survivors nearby, and spoke solemnly:

"Everyone can rest assured that the mutated creatures in the breeding farm have been completely wiped out, and we guarantee that not a single one remains."

"From now on, everyone will eat normal food. The kind of food we used to eat will never appear in the shelter again."

They believe that.

Now that plantations provide normal food, those things from the farms really should be cleaned up.

But in this way...

Why would they hire people if there's nothing to do at the farm?

"Everyone should know this."

"The farm has some chickens and ducks, but the number is small and the scale is small. We had no choice but to feed them before."

"But now that food is plentiful, we've decided to expand our farming operations so that everyone can have meat to eat in the future!"

.........

"well."

Zhou Zhengguo sighed helplessly, stepped out from the crowd, and bowed deeply to the survivors in front of him.

“It was a decision I, as the leader, made to make everyone eat that kind of thing in the past, and I apologize to everyone here.”

Seeing this scene.

The survivors present were deeply moved, and because of this incident, they had privately cursed Zhou Zhengguo quite a bit.

But for some reason, seeing Zhou Zhengguo bow and apologize to them made me feel a little guilty.

Zhao Chunsheng reached out and helped Zhou Zhengguo up. "Mr. Zhou, this is not your fault."

The eyes of the masses are discerning.

Complaining is one thing.

But everyone knows what kind of leader Zhou Zhengguo is.

“Mr. Zhou, there was nothing we could do about eating those things, so you don’t need to apologize to us.”

"We are already very lucky to have survived until now."

"Some things are better left unsaid. I'll go to the farm to register tomorrow morning."

Previously, shelters were divided into three types of people.

High-ranking officials, mid-level managers and armed soldiers, and low-level survivors.

The treatment of each person is different. Survivors at the very bottom of society can only eat disgusting food.

but.

Armed soldiers and middle-level managers, however, were occasionally allowed to eat some normal food, not to mention senior executives.

In the end times, people will be divided into different classes.

Resources need to be allocated centrally, and it is impossible to achieve equality for everyone; this is an unavoidable fact.

They actually knew this principle, but knowing it doesn't mean they weren't resentful.

Zhou Zhengguo is a responsible leader.

When the black porridge was first introduced, he ate with others in the cafeteria every day and personally ate it for a period of time.

Good as it is.

But he was not a saint; he couldn't share their joys and sorrows, nor could he eat that kind of food every day.

so.

When the logistics department changed his food rations, he did not refuse and ate the normal food.

The atmosphere in the shelter is good now, and with plenty of food, these sharp conflicts have been downplayed.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

.........

the next day.

The fountain and well in the central garden.

This is the most important area of ​​the entire shelter; it can be said to be the heart of the shelter and the source of their life.

"Mr. Lin."

“This was originally an underground fountain landscape, which we later transformed into a well. The water source was not contaminated by the virus.”

Zhou Zhengguo explained the situation from the side.

Several squads of soldiers patrolled nearby; the security here is very strict.

"Several serious incidents have occurred in the past."

"But after we strengthened our defenses, such incidents have basically stopped."

Lin Mo nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He came today specifically to check on the well, which is one of the projects to be renovated later.

I looked around.

Basically, no major problems were found. After describing the situation to Grey Wolf, he can help us find a solution.

How is the farm doing?

"Many people went to register today. The farm is expanding and several new factory buildings have been selected in the future."

"Let's go take a look."

Lin Mo, Zhou Zhengguo, and other high-ranking officials arrived near the breeding farm under the escort of a group of soldiers.

Then.

They saw a large crowd blocking the entrance, all of them extremely agitated and desperately trying to squeeze inside.

"Don't push me, let me in to take a look."

"This is too outrageous...it can't be..."

"The situation at the farm is completely different from what I told you yesterday. It's really outrageous."

If nothing unexpected happens.

Something must have happened at the farm.

Zhou Zhengguo frowned deeply, instinctively sensing that something was wrong, but he hadn't expected it to be like this.

But today, Lin Mo himself came to inspect the area.

What exactly is going on? Could it be that the mutated animals in the factory weren't cleaned up properly, causing everyone to misunderstand?

"Mr. Lin."

"Let's go over there and see what's going on. This must be a misunderstanding."

Zhou Zhengguo wanted to get there quickly to stabilize the situation.

We finally managed to resolve the conflict yesterday, and we can't let a small misunderstanding cause the trust we've just built to crumble.

Lin Mo released his spiritual energy and slowly probed towards the crowd at the entrance, briefly sensing their emotional fluctuations.

Curiosity, surprise, shock... a mix of complex emotions, but no anger.

This situation...

It seems to be somewhat different from what they guessed.

The survivors at the entrance were in the same mood as they had yesterday when they saw those giant crops in the central square.

Something seemed to have happened at the farm, which surprised them greatly, but it was definitely not related to the mutated animals.

Now.

Lin Mo was also a little confused about the situation.

He got the machinery for the fertilizer plant, but he didn't do anything at the farm.

"You don't need to worry so much. The situation is different from what you think. Perhaps you've misunderstood."

Zhou Zhengguo was somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.

Seeing Lin Mo stride towards the crowd, he didn't have time to ask any more questions and hurriedly followed.
