Her Celestial Farm on the Scrapyard Planet novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 A Lone Woman

“It’s fine! Ms. Schofield, we brought our own water!”

“Yes, yes, we brought some. We can’t waste yours!”

“This water is too clean. It must be expensive. You should keep it for yourself!”

Water was painfully scarce on Garbage Planet, and clean water was an extremely precious resource.

Everyone who came to work had brought their own water from home, even if it smelled a little off.

Elizabeth looked at their nervous refusals and knew it wouldn’t be easy to change their way of thinking overnight, so she didn’t insist. Instead, she placed the barrel in a shaded spot.

“The water will stay here. If anyone needs it, just take some,” she said before turning back to her own tasks.

Under the blazing sun, the people of Hope Town continued to work with their heads lowered. Sweat streamed down their faces and fell onto the land they were trying hard to transform with their own hands.

Yet on their faces shone a hope and enthusiasm that this planet had never seen before.

Inside a villa that seemed completely out of place on Garbage Planet, Blackrat, One–Eye, and Mamba sat around a table pieced together from battered metal crates.

The atmosphere was heavy.

“Fuck! How is Melton still alive? Looking at him being completely insane yesterday, I thought he was finished for sure!” One–Eye slammed his fist onto the table with a dull thud. The flesh on his face trembled as he snarled in frustration. “If he had collapsed for good this time, we could have swallowed up that bunch of old and weak fools in Hope Town in one bite. And now he’s not only alive, I also hear he could even get up and walk this morning! Damn it!”

Mamba trimmed his nails slowly with a small knife and spoke in a cold and eerie tone. “It’s definitely strange. With injuries like his, his mental power backlash should have either killed him or driven him completely insane. But now… There must be some unknown factor at play.”

Blackrat remained silent, rubbing the jagged scar on his chin. His eyes flickered with calculation.

He thought further than his two subordinates. “The people of Hope Town may be mostly old and weak, but even the meek will fight back when pushed too far. especially Melton. Even if he’s ruined, if he fights desperately, he could drag some of us down with him. If we end up both sides injured, that bastard Scarface will rush in like a hyena that smells blood and devour us all.”

After a pause, he suppressed his unwillingness and made a decision. “Let’s wait and watch for now.”

Though dissatisfied, One–Eye did not dare to openly challenge Blackrat.

At that moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside.

Chapter 60 A Lone Woman

Finished

A blonde young man who had been assigned to keep watch on Hope Town rushed in, panting hard, his face glowing with excitement as if he had spotted prey.

“Boss! You need to hear this!” He blurted out between breaths.

“Calm down and speak,” Blackrat snapped with a frown.

“It’s Adam from Hope Town, that old man! We started watching him before dawn today. We saw him leading a large group from the town, sneaking deep into the garbage mountain!” He spoke rapidly. “We followed them and found their destination. There’s a woman living there!”

“A woman?” One–Eye’s interest was immediately piqued.

“Yes. The same one who threw something to Melton near the recycling station yesterday!” The blonde said firmly. “We hid at a distance and observed for a long time. The people from Hope Town are working for her. They were clearing trash and building fences. She lives alone in a tent and doesn’t seem to have any companions!”

“Alone?” Mamba stopped trimming his nails, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. “Are you sure?”

“Absolutely! We watched them for most of the day. Aside from those old and weak people from Hope Town, no one else went in or out. The woman herself has been working too!” The blonde patted his chest to guarantee his words.

The news struck the room like a clap of thunder, shattering the heavy silence in an instant.

One–Eye was the first to jump to his feet. Greed and cruelty spread across his face. “Boss, what are we waiting for? A lone woman hiring people to clear land? She must have supplies. I guess she has plenty of liquid supplements or stellar coins!”

At noon, the scorching sunlight poured down directly on everyone.

Elizabeth walked to the entrance, picked up a wooden club, and struck a metal basin several times. The clear ringing sound echoed across the relatively quiet field.

“Break time! Eat something and drink some water, everyone!” she called out.

What answered her was a chorus of urgent voices.

“We’re not tired, Ms. Schofield!”
