Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Wheat Seed and the Letter of the Church Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Wheat Seed and the Letter of the Church The little girl finished speaking and began to sob uncontrollably again.

What she meant by being taken, of course, was being captured by that group of Hunters to perform some sinister ceremony.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue exchanged a glance.

It was clear that the girl, having lost her father, had fallen into the hands of these crazed Hunters.

If Cao Xing hadn’t arrived, her fate would have been grim.

Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing and softly said, “Axing, can we take her back to the camp?”
Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

The camp was gradually getting on track, and one more mouth to feed wasn’t much of an issue.

Besides, this little girl was also a Survivor, and she might be helpful in the future.

Liu Muxue gently comforted, “Little sister, would you like to come back with us to our camp?”
The little girl named Tong Chuchu gradually stopped crying.

She asked in confusion, “Your camp…

does it have food?

Chuchu hasn’t eaten in a long time…”

Hearing this, Liu Muxue stroked her head and said, “Of course, the Lord of this Territory is the big brother over there, and he’s very powerful.”
Her tone revealed admiration.

Tong Chuchu immediately turned her gaze to Cao Xing, with a hint of both fear and curiosity in her eyes.

Then, thinking of something else, she hesitantly asked, “Then…

can you take my mom too?”
“Daddy isn’t coming back, and mom is still alone in the camp…”
Cao Xing was stunned for a moment.

Of course, this version was a family team mode.

Since Tong Chuchu was with her father, her mother must be in the camp too.

However, this issue made Cao Xing feel conflicted.

After all, human Survivors weren’t like the Natives; they didn’t easily rebel against the Lord and their Loyalty could be seen.

He understood the teachings that a person’s heart is hard to fathom.

He was willing to take this little girl because she had no combat power and posed no Threat to Cao Xing.

If they were adults, it would be more uncertain.

Hence, Cao Xing opened the system interface and asked, “How can I get other Survivors to join my Territory?”
The System Prompt appeared at once.

[The answer to this question is the Territory merge function.

Currently, there are two methods.]
[Method 1: Invite the other party to join the Territory as a new Lord, sharing building permissions, resources, and so on.]
[Method 2: Recruit the other party to join the Territory as Subjects, granting them only simple residence and construction permissions, and they cannot attack friendly units.]
Seeing the second method, Cao Xing felt assured.

“Great, I can recruit Survivors as Subjects into the Territory.”
“This way, I won’t have to worry about newly recruited Survivors causing damage to my Territory.”
Cao Xing looked at the little girl and then asked, “Do you remember where your camp is located?”
The little girl nodded, “I remember, mom taught me how to read the mini-map.”
“Our camp is about five kilometers from here.”
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue exchanged another glance.

Being this close explained why they were targeted by those Hunters.

Liu Muxue softly asked, “Axing, can we go take a look?”
Cao Xing pondered for a bit, “If it’s five kilometers, we can go.”
“However, whether her mom wants to join our Territory depends on her own choice.”
Liu Muxue listened and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

She knew Cao Xing would agree.

Upon hearing this, the little girl gradually stopped crying and started to thank Cao Xing repeatedly.

“Thank you, big brother, Chuchu will remember your kindness for a lifetime!”
In this world, after two days of brutal survival, she had matured a lot.

Cao Xing shook his head and then directed his gaze towards the tent, at a few other humans.

These were the Natives of this world.

Cao Xing plainly asked, “Do you know Jasmine and Sapphire?”
The six humans on the ground exchanged glances.

One slightly older human said, “Yes, they are our companions.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Good, they are now residents of my Territory and were the ones who informed me that you were captured by the Hunters.”
“So now, are you willing to submit to me and join my Territory?”
Cao Xing didn’t waste any words; his main purpose this time was to expand his Territory’s forces.

The older human tentatively asked, “Lord, what about the Hunters outside?”
Cao Xing replied, “As you can see, I have slaughtered them all.”
The next moment, the humans respectfully said in unison, “We are willing, honorable Lord.”
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, allowing the tall Assam to go over and cut the ropes from these humans, freeing them.

[Recruitment Successful: Colin Hopper, Luqiao Lure, Marlin Kuhn…

joined your Territory, Territory population +6]
Again, a string of Western names, three men and three women, made Cao Xing twitch his lips.

He directly pointed at the slightly older human and said, “From today, you will be called Cao Yi, you, Cao Er, Cao San.”
“The women, starting with Sihua, will be called Sihua, Wuhua, Liuhua.”
These humans looked at each other, then nodded in unison, “Thank you, Lord, for bestowing names.”
Then, a series of Goodwill increase prompts sounded.

Cao Xing glanced at their Attributes.

[Subjects: Cao Yi]
[Level: Level 3]
[Talent: Basic Speaking Skills (Give a speech to calm the subjects’ emotions)]
[Loyalty: 70]
[Hunger Level: 44]
…

[Subjects: Sihua]
[Level: Level 2]
[Talent: Basic Cooking Skills (Food cooked increases Satiety by an additional 20%)]
[Loyalty: 72]
[Hunger Level: 47]
…

Seeing these subjects’ Talents, Cao Xing’s eyes lit up.

Goodness, there were actually two individuals with special Talents.

Although the other subjects didn’t have Talents, their Levels were between 2 to 4.

The quality of these subjects was very high!

In this way, Cao Xing would have enough manpower to assign for building various Territory facilities!

And after recruiting these people, his Territory Population Cap became: 25/50.

After subduing all these refugees,
Cao Xing noticed a yellowed wooden box in the corner of the camp.

Approaching it, a System Prompt appeared.

[The Hunters’ Storage Box (White): Can be opened]
Cao Xing clicked directly to open it.

[Obtained White Bread*17, Wheat Seeds*72, Milk*5, Copper*7, Church Letter (Special Item)]
The box contained quite a lot of supplies, and Cao Xing began to check them.

[White Bread, 1 White Bread = 2 Food]
…

[Wheat Seeds (White): Can be planted on cultivated land.]
Cao Xing’s heart rejoiced, “Oh?

We can farm now?”
In this way, he would have a stable food source and wouldn’t have to worry about depleting resources anymore!

However, to farm, he needed to cultivate a piece of land near the Territory first.

In addition, he’d have to build a shelter over it, otherwise, in stormy weather, the planted seeds would all be ruined.

Cao Xing continued to inspect further.
