Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System

"What’s wrong?"

"You’ll only acknowledge me as your boss after you’ve eaten your fill?"

The twenty new members’ expressions froze, and they scratched the back of their heads a little sheepishly.

"Hahaha, no need to be nervous. I have plenty of food; I won’t miss what you eat."

Meat might be a bit scarce, but for vegetables, after the farmland was expanded by another fold, each harvest now yields six tons.

No matter how much they could eat, they couldn’t consume vegetables faster than the Shelter’s harvesting speed.

Moreover, with the Treehouse upgraded, it can grow even much faster.

"If you can settle down and serve the territory loyally, it’s possible to have this standard of dinner every day."

Despite being reluctant to leave Vikram’s conditions, the group still showed hesitation when they thought of their previous affiliations.

"This..."

"It’s fine, no need to rush your answer. I said I’d give you two weeks."

"About housing," He then pointed towards one building, in which previous twenty members were living, "in the first and second floor the previous members live, you both settle at the third and fourth floor."

After saying that he brought them towards his building, currently he has four buildings, in one Harry with his members lives, of which the top three floors were also empty.

While two others were still empty.

When the new members pushed open the heavy door and entered, they all gasped in amazement.

They all inwardly marveled at their new boss’s generosity.

Toilets and bathrooms, of course, were self-explanatory, with each floor having them.

Although the rooms couldn’t be very large, only six or seven square meters, they ensured that each of the twenty new members had a private room to live in.

On the third floor were ten flats, the same with the fourth floor.

There were even common areas, and the entire house had electricity and ventilation.

And they were already surprised by the temperature here, which was warmer than Brown Wood Shelter.

They have also the good quality of the bedding

A Shelter that would make most Survivors outside drool was thus presented before everyone’s eyes.

Ignoring the restlessness in their eyes, Vikram walked around, saw that there were no problems, and the strength was sufficient, then said,

"For now, it’s like this. We’ll renovate it later if there’s an opportunity. All rooms are the same size. The third floor is for female Survivors, and few males, while the fourth floors are for male Survivors."

"Familiarize yourselves, and then you can rest."

Having said that, Vikram smiled slightly, looking at the satisfied and curious eyes of the crowd, and returned to his territory.

Seeing every time their new boss goes to a different place, and seeing a big tree there, one new member asked the old members.

"Why does the boss always go there, what was there, and which tree was that, it has grown so big?"

Hearing the question the old members smiled, and then replied, "That was the boss and his wives territory, we called that area as territory 1. Till the boss didn’t bring you there, don’t try to go there, or else how will you die, even we can’t guess."

Hearing the answer, the new members know that their new boss is not living with them, he was living in new territory, they were amazed, while about territory 1, they started becoming curious.

But curiosity was one thing, they all knew curiosity can kill a cat, and living in the Wasteland, they all have accepted many different rules.

—

Vikram was playing a few games to pass the time, while Divya, having nothing to do, served him tea and water, occasionally massaging his legs and shoulders, treating him like a master.

Vikram was originally playing the game seriously, but when he felt Divya’s fingers massaging in increasingly inappropriate places, he snapped back to reality.

Grabbing Divya’s fair and tender face, he said with a wicked look in his eyes, "Haven’t I disciplined you enough these past two days? Are you itching for more?"

"Hmph!"

Divya crossed her arms and glared at Vikram. Although she said nothing, the meaning in her eyes was very clear.

"Oh, you’ve really gone too far today! Then don’t blame me for being impolite."

"Even if you beg me tonight, I won’t let you go."

Hearing Divya’s provocative words, Vikram no longer had the mind to play games.

He turned and took Divya to change the battleground.

However, before the battle, Divya’s eyes always held a hint of hesitation today.

"If... if you dare turn off the lights, I don’t believe you can still beat me with the lights off."

Although Vikram didn’t understand why Divya suddenly pulled such a stunt, his interest was piqued, and he couldn’t care less about anything else.

He turned off the lights and used all his tricks on Divya, his defeated opponent.

It wasn’t until a full two and a half hours later that Divya repeatedly waved her hands.

"Wait, let me rest."

Knowing that victory was secured for the night, Vikram showed a smug expression.

The vixen wanted to use the darkness to blind his eyes, but she forgot that he had Night Vision. How could he ever miss?

But before he could even chuckle to himself, his peripheral vision caught a familiar figure.

"Why is she here?"

Although Vikram was somewhat surprised, the person who came today seemed to have already made up her mind.

Before Vikram could react, the other party had already leaned in... Followed by the two others.

The next day.

Vikram, who had fought all night, felt no discomfort because he had already unlocked his spirit power. He stretched luxuriously and then got up and went to the living room.

Strangely, Luna, Sophia, Divya and Anjali today looked as if they hadn’t slept well all night, both sporting heavy dark circles under their eyes and slumped on the sofa.

Seeing Vikram come out, Luna and Divya didn’t react much, but Sophia and Anjali’s eyes darted away, constantly avoiding eye contact with Vikram.

Vikram smiled, said nothing more, and cleaned up the mess left from last night’s battlefield.

After breakfast, pretending not to know what had happened last night, he embraced the four on the sofa and enjoyed some tender moments.

Although the battle last night was fought in the dark, Vikram felt that what was done was done, and he had no intention of pretending not to know.

He pecked Anjali on the cheek and playfully raised an eyebrow, making the four women chuckle.

Anjali’s eyes, which were already overflowing with affection for Vikram, now shone with even greater joy.

After that he decided to focus on what will be his next move.

Because the black fog disaster was still going on, and he also knew that, if people spend more time in the black fog, they will become zombies.

But he didn’t know, what was common in the black fog and the golden blood lm

After pondering on the sofa for a while, Vikram got up again.

Although these terrifying conjectures weren’t impossible, he still leaned towards the latter.

After all, from when Vikram and other Earth people were pulled into the Wasteland World, it seemed like a long time had passed.

In reality, less than three months had gone by.

According to the mysterious female voice in the Survival Platform, there were many more natural disasters to come.

He estimated that while the black fog was more difficult, it most likely wouldn’t be so absolute.

If it really reached the point where everyone was zombified, he wouldn’t be able to stop it.

Being able to live a good life in the current Wasteland was already the most useful thing he could do.

Having figured out the situation with the black fog, Vikram decided not to dwell on so many chaotic conjectures.

He patted his cheeks, regaining his spirits.

Taking the elevator, Vikram arrived at the ground level, after getting out of the treehouse he looked towards the fruits.

He then tore a banana and started eating it, so his banana should always stay strong.

He also started touring his territory while thinking about what to do next.

While arriving near the farmland which has increased double that previous time. There were already several crops planted.

And also, after Vikram treehouse was upgraded, even in the Plant Life System, finally he can also buy the plant’s seeds.

Now he can say that his plant system is complete, and can sell the plants and fruit seeds.

Before that, his plant system only gave the surviving plants things.

He also understood that, about him, about the Plant Life System there was a biggest mystery, and their answers can only be found inside the ruins.

But this was not time to think about that, while he again looked towards his farmland.

Now, except for some fruit trees that were still developing, most common crops were almost ready for harvest.

According to the greenhouse terminal display, crops like potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, corn, cauliflower, and cabbage could be harvested tomorrow.

Speaking of which, three hundred square meters of planting space wasn’t actually that large.

On Earth, farmers’ cultivated land for planting crops was measured in acres.

Converted, one acre was over six hundred square meters, making his less-than-half-an-acre cultivated land on this floor seem somewhat insufficient.

And he knew that his next territory update would be massive. He was planning to take at least two square kilometers of area in the next expansion.

For that, he needed to develop the entire territory and also recruit more members, which wasn’t an issue since he already had the Brown Wood Shelter and the Savage Wolf Shelter.

However, that plan was currently on hold.

He was still uncertain whether he should break the wall and expand Territory 2, or create a new Territory 3 instead.

In his mind, Territory 2 could be reserved exclusively for upper-level members and his most loyal followers, while Territory 3 would accommodate the rest of the members.

Anyway, he wasn’t expecting to accomplish all of that today.

After much deliberation, Vikram finally turned his attention to the livestock area.

Although their numbers had increased slightly, the growth wasn’t particularly significant, except for the chickens.

And he knew that he needed a new source of livestock to expand the population further.

However, this led to a vicious cycle because he hadn’t seen any normal animals in the wild for a long time now.

Let alone where to obtain these livestock resources.

As a result, Vikram didn’t dare to casually touch the few livestock he kept below, other than chickens.

He was afraid that the last of the Wasteland World’s livestock would go extinct in his hands.

The resource points he most wanted to encounter now were, first, resources like engine oil and gasoline, and then biological resource points.

He cast aside those temporarily impractical thoughts.

He took the elevator and arrived at the fourth level, the living area.

After his upgrade of Treehouse, the area has also changed, now single floor there were four rooms.

And currently he and his wives have settled on the fourth floor.

He has turned one room into a kitchen, one into a bathroom and toilet, one was a hall for each one sitting together, and the last was their bedroom.

Although on the third floor, each of his wives had their own personal bedroom.

After thinking all of these, he now started focusing on the Plants Essence Points, which have gathered till now. And how much Plants Points are generating daily.

While thinking of this, he found out that Spikevine, Thornvine, Bloodvine, Demonvine, Lumen Reed and Vine Sniper Towers, all were generating zero essence points.

Why?

Because all of the combined points were generated through the Treehouse, it took all of the controls of each plant in his territory.

And the combined generation was 5000 Pants Essence.

And the other source of his Plants Essence Points were his Plants Team.
