Chapter 106: Labor (Part 2)

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest, Le Xiao felt like she was about to die. After an hour and a half, Le Xiao finally moved the second box of potatoes onto the truck. She was almost exhausted and sat down next to the wheel. She couldn't move anymore. Her hands were already covered with blisters.

Even the clerk on the junction tower felt a little sorry. He walked down with a glass of water and handed it to Le Xiao.

"For my little sister."

Le Xiao took it and thanked her gratefully. Her trembling hands almost shook the glass off. The 10-meter distance from the field in front of her was so far away in Le Xiao's eyes. It turned out that more than 20 kilograms of things were so heavy, so heavy that she needed to rest six or seven times to move them once.

And this kind of harvesting work is already the easiest work. It is impossible to endure a month in such a hell. Le Xiao's consciousness is a little fuzzy.

Many people have already moved 4 boxes out. There is enough time, and they can even exceed the quota.

"Those who exceed the target will have meat for dinner tonight. If you exceed the target by 5 boxes, you will get a special bonus."

Le Xiao gritted her teeth and stood up. Her legs were shaking. Although she could dig up potatoes, it was so difficult to pull them out of the ground. Seeing Le Xiao's shaky appearance, many women in the shed laughed.

Le Xiao was almost about to cry. Although she was born in the lower-class area, she had never done such heavy physical labor since she was a child, because her mother loved her very much. It seemed that for her mother, Le Xiao was everything.

Wipe away the tears that overflowed from her eyes, Le Xiao continued to work with gritted teeth

Gene's speed was getting faster and faster. Many staff members were helping to take out the light and shadow lockers. There were already more than 20 sheds, and Gene was still moving around. There were hundreds of corn sheds here. The people who were working were temporarily asked to leave at noon today.

Although machines can be used to improve work efficiency, manual harvesting is the best, and it can also provide work for those level 2 people. Machines can easily destroy crops. Many times, more than ten kilograms of crops harvested from a field have been crushed to pieces. More than ten kilograms of crops in a field will result in several meals of food loss in a year. Moreover, machines can easily damage the fields. Loose soil is conducive to the absorption and growth of crops, and there are fragile soil nutrient supply pipes underneath. It is very troublesome if they are crushed.

Labor is the least lacking here. There are nearly 30,000 prisoners in the prison tower, as well as many citizens of level 2. Many of them will come here to work, especially some desperate citizens of level 1. They can only work here for three consecutive months before they can return to level 2, that is, they can only return to level 3 after working for four months.

"Jin doesn't need to rush."

Standing outside the shed, Ye Chunwang could only sigh helplessly. He had tried to use mutants to do it before, but it was impossible to achieve the precision of Gene. Even S-level mutants could not do it, and S-level mutants could not do this kind of work at all.

Some strong mutants will only work as porters or bodyguards, or assist some departments, or go to the areas where crime is rampant at the bottom.

"Can I help you finish these more than 100 fields today?"

Ye Chunwang nodded, and then said with a smile.

"It would be better if you work here for a month or two."

Most of the people working here have severe muscle strain. Although they can be cured by drugs, most of them have become old problems after repeated injuries.

When there are not enough people, people from the agricultural department will help, but there will be extra wages. Criminals who come here to work are forced to work with 0 wages, and people with low citizen levels only get 500 a month.

Thinking of this, Ye Chunwang could only sigh helplessly. The wages were all decided by the business department, from the original 300 to 500, and this was finally added up after Ye Chunwang ran around several times. He originally planned to let the citizens who came here to work have a salary of 1,000 to 1,500, but this is basically impossible because they have to provide them with three meals a day.

At around 4 p.m., the corn in the entire corn shed planting area had been harvested, and some staff members were already sowing.

At a junction tower, Gene looked out the window with his hand on his chin, smoking silently.

"Gene, can you help talk to the head of the business department to increase the income of the people working here?"

"Do you think I'm omnipotent?"

Ye Chunwang sighed. For so many years, Gene has been like a lonely weirdo in the upper circles of the entire Brilliant City. He has no intersection with the upper circles at all, and naturally has no circle.

"Circles are too important, Gene. I really don't know what you think. You are handsome, not short of money, and have power and strength. If you are willing to extend an olive branch, I think most of the powerful people in the city want to climb up your thick tree."

Gene smiled slightly and shook his head.

"You know I prefer working in the fields all day long to a luxurious banquet."

"That's why, although you have friends, they all have their own circles. Although they can help you from time to time and support you, Gene, I've heard from Hua Shen a long time ago that you are really like a child sometimes. Either you crawl back, at least"

Gene smiled and glanced at the top floor on the west side, where the Congress Hall is located and the power of Brilliant City.

"I won't go back."

Jin smiled and stood up, jumped out of the window, and then jumped onto the roof, quietly overlooking the green fields everywhere, feeling extremely happy in his heart. In Gene's eyes, everything was really beautiful.

"Jin, you have lived for many years longer than me, and you are no longer old enough to like noisy days, alas!"

"I will continue to work for a while, and leave when the sun sets."

Jin said and jumped down.

"I will make you a good dinner."

Jin tilted his head and said.

"Sorry, tonight is a lady's birthday."

Looking at the far-away Gene, Ye Chunwang felt an indescribable helplessness in his heart. When he was very young, there was no sun in the sky. The man in front of him often told him that one day the sun would penetrate the clouds and sprinkle on the earth.

Then the man kept fooling Ye Chunwang, saying that food was the hope of mankind, so he began to study hard and farm hard. He farmed for a lifetime, and he shook his head helplessly.

"That's true. I don't know whether I should thank him or scold him. I can only farm for the rest of my life."
