I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1054 - 1153: Sister Jing, Here Comes Another Job

Chapter 1054: Chapter 1153: Sister Jing, Here Comes Another Job

It’s truly a heaven-sent idea to set up a small supermarket in the living room hallway to store supplies. The suggestion was put forward by Jing Shu, and Grandma Jing gave the final approval. But why is it that the honest person ends up doing all the work?

Isn’t this just bullying the honest folks?

During these few days of the New Year, everyone feels that, hey, arranging everything in the style of a supermarket is actually quite satisfying when you use them.

Snacks, daily necessities, toilet paper, assorted dried goods, and even Mrs. Jing’s facial masks are all arranged here.

It’s really gratifying to use them, especially for Jing Shu. She grabs those cola, chips, and spicy sticks by the bags, uses a pack of toilet paper daily, and restocking gets troublesome.

After restocking, it’s time to feed at the swimming pool.

That’s right— the swimming pool has successfully transformed into an aquatic zone, housing various fish, shrimps, and crabs. Sometimes even crayfish and crabs climb up from within.

Mr. Jing has to clean it up every day — in short, it’s a bittersweet task.

Jing Shu is already yawning and heading to sleep. Even though Hulk has been busy these days, she hasn’t gotten a lot of sleep, having to divert her attention to manage special situations.

Su Malie feels a mix of excitement and bewilderment: "Only the last 200 left, tomorrow it’ll be done, so will it be open— um um um!"

Su Malie’s mouth is covered once again.

Jing Shu pleads: "Sister, you’re my sister, please don’t talk anymore, sleep with me tonight, don’t think too much, okay?" Seriously, no more laying flags, I can’t handle it anymore!

Su Malie: "..."

"Alright."

That night went by peacefully at last. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Through the night, Hulk nearly turned over the entire land but still couldn’t catch them all. There were roughly dozens to a hundred still at large.

These octopuses are extremely clever. Once they realized a large number of their companions were missing, they completely hid.

In the underground sewers, garbage dumps, Jing Shu searched all possible places; even resident buildings were searched one by one, but after such a detailed search, they were no longer found.

Hong Kong is so vast; trying to find such few octopuses hiding who knows where is a dead end.

Nonetheless, it’s enough for task submission.

Just as Jing Shu finishes reporting to Old Zhou, she receives a call from Jun Bao.

Jing Shu checks the time — what the heck, isn’t it still the sixth? Why start work now? There’s still a day off left!!

Muttering curses in her heart, Jing Shu quickly puts on a smiling face after answering the call — her speed of changing expressions is remarkable.

On the other end, Jun Bao doesn’t waste words and asks directly: "The Imperial Research Institute’s Dr. Huang, is that horse brought down by you?"

Jing Shu: "?"

Oh, they’re talking about Huang Xiaoxiao.

Yep, took her down last night, just reported it, how come you already know?!

Jing Shu says: "It wasn’t me — her skills aren’t up to par, yet she loves to boast and disregard life, ultimately had to abide by the bet and exit the mission—"

Jun Bao asks again: "Then are you heading to Imperial Capital for task submission now?"

Jing Shu nods: "This batch of specimens is critical, and octopus evolution is quite pesky, so I’m personally delivering for task submission. They’ll send a special plane for pickup."

"Alright, then I’ll trouble you with the trip. By the way, there’s a vacancy at the Imperial Research Institute; I’d like one of our lab’s doctors to squeeze in —"

Jing Shu understands the purpose of Jun Bao’s call this time, and immediately says: "I have no objections."

After all, this lab works on producing giant meat and synthetic meat, and she owns 5% shares. With someone out, they can replace with her own people.

Not bad at all.

"Alright, then I’ll have Dr. Liu wait for you in Imperial Capital to sign the new laboratory paperwork."

The call ends.

Jing Shu doesn’t react immediately; after a while, she realizes — oh, perhaps Jun Bao meant to put someone in and give her a little benefit?

Jing Shu waits until noon; Hulk catches two more octopuses, and the official from Imperial Capital comes to pick her up, forcing her to leave.

However—

She still leaves Hulk to continue gathering.

This batch of octopuses is meant to be handed over above.

But any new orders, any octopus caught after that is unowned, hehe.

A rumbling sound arrives.

A small plane lands on the battleship, and Grandma Jing’s family reach up against the wind blowing their hair messily, staring in astonishment at the plane landing on their battleship — truly shocking.

Grandma Jing says: "Goodgracious, turns out this deck on our ship is for landing planes; the old man and I were thinking it’s barren, planning to plant vegetables."

The old man claps his cigarette and says: "Nearly converted it into a vegetable shed, should we still do it?"

Jing Shu sighs: "Grandpa, Grandma, convert it, the airplane runway is indeed wasted, can’t even land once a year — not needed."

As this is said, more than a dozen fully armed personnel disembark from the plane, led by the familiar Tan Ke, grinning:

"Sister Jing, got work again."

Jing Shu pats the big guy, "Have some water, eat something, let’s go, aim to finish transition by afternoon."

"Alrighty."

Grandma Jing offers them chive pancakes with lots of veggies and little dough, flour is precious these days, while chives and eggs are abundant at the Jing Family’s place.
