Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Thousands of Acres of Fertile Land

The tender green buds broke through the black soil, standing silently there.

The warm sunlight seeped through the window, illuminating the beauty of the scene placed on the shelf.

Big tears fell down her cheeks, with the bitterness of which only the master would know.

[Ding——Fertile Fields System binding completed, hello Host, System 001 at your service.]

The mechanical voice sounding from above her head made Ming Qin unable to hold it in any longer, and she started to sob.

[Host, why are you crying?]

The System spoke again in its mechanical voice, with a hint of doubt embedded in it.

"I’m just... too emotional."

Ming Qin muttered, her tears falling down her cheeks like pearls off a string, dripping onto the floor.

Yuanbao arrived just in time to see Ming Qin, her eyes red from crying, sitting there, grinning foolishly, while delivering lunch for her mother.

"Mother? Are you sick?"

The little girl had a stunned expression on her face, but the red and swollen eyes of her mother could not conceal her worry.

"Mother, what happened to you?"

"Mother is just too happy, Yuanbao, you don’t need to worry." Ming Qin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and managed a smile.

"Why do you cry if you’re happy, mother?"

Yuanbao frowned, her little eyebrows knitted, unable to understand.

"Mother is happy, because we can finally survive."

Just after the system was bound, it issued a novice gift package.

Inside were ten rolls of thirty-meter-long, poreless agricultural irrigation hoses.

The material is a composite from the System Mall which has a very strong seal.

The biogas pool has been repaired. The only thing left to worry about now is how to transport the gas.

But now that they had these composite material hoses, they also had a solution.

Shen Wenchen and Nanzhi had been preparing to use fire for attack early on.

But due to concerns about this fire spreading to other areas, they had not decided to use it.

Now with a solution, even if they don’t use fire on a large scale, they can still achieve perfect defense.

When this good news reached Shen Wenchen, he was also stunned for a long time.

Maybe this was a sign of survival against all odds.

Even fate couldn’t crush them!

After just five days.

The monsters that had not eaten for a long time were now so hungry that their eyes turned red.

Perhaps because there was nothing left to nourish them, their frames were becoming more and more emaciated, only their bloodshot eyes highlighted their madness.

The dozens of monsters had no sense of order, the desire for food drove them crazy, as they flew at the city walls one after another.

Two of the creatures that seemed to still have some sanity were clawing at the city gate, hoping to dig out a hole.

The sound of their claws scratching against the gate was very harsh, causing the soldiers at the gate to involuntarily step back.

The earsplitting sounds were a constant barrage of sensation, assaulting their nerves relentlessly.

What if, what if those monsters really broke down the gate and invaded?

"Nannan, rest well, until I return."

Shen Wenchen dropped a kiss on Nanzhi’s forehead, speaking in a deep voice.

"Okay."

Nanzhi nodded, watching him walk away, then turned to look at Shengsheng, sleeping soundly beside her.

They could survive this.

They surely could.

Hearing a noise from the window, Nanzhi subconsciously got up to look.

Only to see the window was opened, propped open by a jade-colored bamboo pole. Golden sunlight poured through the window, filtering through the jade green and finally landing on Nanzhi’s feet.

The young boy in white standing outside the window was still as she had seen him the first time.

"Xiaohe? Why don’t you come in?"

Nanzhi tilted her head slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"I’m not coming in today, just came to see you."

"Are you going out again?"

Nanzhi noticed something was off about him, his gaze filled with confusion.

"I’m not going out today. Just thinking that we’ve known each other for quite a few years now."

Witnessing his sentimental demeanor, Nanzhi felt even more confused and could only nod along to his words.

"Yes, it’s been several years. What’s wrong? Are you upset?"

"No."

Xiaohe shook his head and seemed to suddenly remember something. He pulled out a jade green bracelet from his embrace and handed it over.

"This is for you."

The young man’s hands were slender and clean. The jade-green bracelet clasped in his hand seemed even more picturesque.

"For me?"

Nanzhi was utterly bewildered. Why would he suddenly give her a gift for no reason?

Furthermore, the bracelet looked very familiar...

After a careful recollection, Nanzhi finally recognized it.

It was the bracelet that belonged to Su Tao.

How did it end up in Xiaohe’s possession?

"Isn’t this Su Tao’s bracelet?"

"This bracelet never belonged to her in the first place. Now, it’s simply being returned to its rightful owner."

Xiaohe nonchalantly shrugged, his face regaining its former childishness.

"Returned to its rightful owner?"

Nanzhi frowned.

But this bracelet shouldn’t belong to her either.

There was no such character as her in the original story, and the bracelet had always belonged to Su Tao in the novel.

What’s more, wasn’t she still staying in the side yard?

"This was a gift I intended to give Shengsheng. You can give it to him. And also, stop doubting yourself. You’re pretty smart."

Having said his piece, Xiaohe turned around and left.

Looking at the bracelet in her hand and the direction Xiaohe departed in, Nanzhi felt genuinely puzzled.

Why would he suddenly say such things?

"Wa... ya..."

The cries of the little baby interrupted her thoughts. Nanzhi hastened back to the bed without further contemplation.

The redness on Shengsheng’s face had faded. Now, his rosy complexion looked adorable.

Seeing his mother approaching, a smile spread across Shengsheng’s face, warming Nanzhi’s heart.

"Mommy’s good little Shengsheng."

Nanzhi placed the bracelet aside and picked up the little one to console him.

By the time Shen Wenchen arrived at the city gate, he only saw a crowd gathering at the entrance.

"What’s going on?"

"General, there are two monsters outside trying to dig through the gate. Everyone is a bit scared."

Someone stepped forward to explain.

"The gate isn’t that easy to dig through." Shen Wenchen furrowed his brow. But seeing the panicked look on the people’s faces, he still gave an order.

"You have people bring some firewood over, pile it at the entrance and guard it carefully. If something goes wrong, light the fire immediately. We must protect the citizens."

"Yes, General."

The soldiers atop the city wall were frantically throwing fireballs, hoping to blow them all away.

The monsters that managed to survive had their own unique qualities.

They were quick and had tougher skin, which was creating difficulties for some people.

Unlike previous monsters, these ones didn’t target the soldiers in front of them. Instead, they intended to break into the city and make food of the powerless citizens within.

Upon his arrival, Shen Wenchen saw a monster, its body burnt, leap up with the intent of breaking into the city.

He threw the sword in his hand at its head, and then, with a powerful push on his tiptoes, he jumped up and pulled the monster down.

Its neck was penetrated, and upon being tossed heavily onto the ground, the monster paused for a moment before scrambling to its feet, trying to leap over the city walls again.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Shen Wenchen stepped on its back and, with a heavy stomp, crushed the monster’s chest. The only sound left was the eerie wheezing coming from the monster’s throat.
