Seeing that Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi looked nervous and uneasy, Yao Ran lightly touched her long sword and said calmly, "Don't worry. With me and Sister Jia here, nobody will dare to touch you two."
After hearing her words, Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi nodded but remained wary of the crowd.
Scanning the area, Yao Ran noticed a large board used as a notice board and said, "Let's go there to take a look."
"Alright," Jia Xiang agreed.
As they walked closer, the other survivors instinctively made way for them.
Noticing this, Yao Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and thought, 'Instead of malice, why do most of them look at us with fear?'
Although curious, she ignored them and focused on the notice board.
In addition to official announcements, there were numerous available missions and job recruitment notices, most of which involved scavenging for supplies or searching for missing people.
While Yao Ran was reading the official announcements, Deng Qiqi suddenly said, "Look, Zhihui, they are looking for a planter. Do you think I can apply for this job?"
Huang Zhihui turned to her and asked, "Where? Let me see."
Deng Qiqi pointed at a worker recruitment notice and said, "We can plant crops at home and receive seeds from them. If needed, we can request soil from the community or the staff when picking up the seeds."
"They will even pay us six kilograms of food every month, and the extra harvest could be taken home or sold to the military in exchange for other supplies."
After reading the recruitment notice, Huang Zhihui nodded. "That is not bad. You can stay at home and still earn food. They even provide seeds and soil, saving you a lot of time and effort in collecting them yourself."
Hearing her best friend's approval, Deng Qiqi smiled and asked, "Zhihui, will you sign up with me?"
Huang Zhihui shook her head and pointed at another worker recruitment notice. "I will apply for this one instead."
Deng Qiqi read it carefully and said, "This is a good deal. You only need to exchange 20 liters of water for five kilograms of food. With your current ability level, you could earn a lot every day."
Huang Zhihui grinned and nodded. "Mhm. I need to make enough to feed that hungry ghost at home."
Knowing she was talking about Huang Qian, Deng Qiqi chuckled.
While the two excitedly discussed the available jobs, Jia Xiang turned to Yao Ran and asked, "Yao Ran, which job are you interested in?"
Yao Ran pointed at a mission notice and smiled, "This one."
Curious about her choice, Jia Xiang, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi read it and were surprised by her choice.
"Elder Sister Yao Ran, are you sure you want to take a scavenging mission?" Huang Zhihui asked in disbelief.
