: 390 Food crisis
Since there were those mutant pine trees outside the base, the security of the entire base was instantly improved by several levels. These mutant pine trees are so high that the protective wall of the base is only ten meters high, and these mutant pine trees are 90 meters higher than the protective wall!
If there is a group of zombies or mutant beasts attacking, without waiting for the power users in the base to make a move, as long as these zombies enter the warning distance of these mutant pine trees, these mutant pine trees will shoot out one by one like chicken blood. Pine needles pierced those zombies and mutant beasts like hedgehogs.
Not only the zombies and mutant beasts on the ground are like this, but the zombie birds and mutant birds in the sky are also treated the same. Once you get close to the warning distance of the mutant pine tree, you will be stabbed into a hedgehog.
Since those wood-type abilities received Fang Yuxin's reply, some people began to try to contract those mutant pine trees. It's a pity that these mutated pine trees got the wood-type true essence sent by Fang Yuxin at the beginning.
At the beginning, although they accepted the favor of the wood-type ability user, but they never agreed to the contract, and they were quite temperamental. As a result, some people began to retreat, but more people persisted. Gradually, these wood-type abilities have also learned to be smart, knowing that giving charcoal in the snow is more favorable to these mutant pine trees than icing on the cake. So every time a group of zombies or mutant beasts attacked, they specially waited for the mutant pine tree to consume a lot of power because of the big move, and then input wood-based abilities to them.
As time went by, these mutant pine trees gradually realized that Fang Yuxin could not send them the true essence of the wood system, so there was a good-tempered mutant pine tree who agreed to make a contract with the wood-type power user who looked in the right eye.
However, there are still many mutant pine trees with a tough temper or more cunning, who have been biting and refusing to let go. But gradually. Hesitating that these mutant pine trees contribute a lot, so they all have a share of the crystal nucleus that was finally hunted. It's just that this crystal nucleus is not directly given to these mutant pine trees, but to the wood-type ability user who is responsible for inputting wood-type abilities to them. It can be said that although not every mutant pine tree has a contract with the corresponding wood-type ability user, there are still wood-type ability users who continue to input wood-type abilities to them.
Fang Yuxin came up with this proposal at the very beginning. After all, these mutant pine trees have contributed to the protection of the base. You can't be greedy for their crystal nucleus. And after they shoot pine needles, they will grow new pine needles in an instant. The consumption is very large, and they must be compensated for. She is a fourth-level wood-type power user, and her words are not unreasonable. So no one else objected. Thus, a virtuous circle gradually formed.
As time passed, more and more mutant pines agreed to the contract. However, the wood-type abilities in the base did not intend to bring them with them, but instead let them stay outside the protective wall. Responsible for guarding the security of the base. At the same time, their masters also frequently made meritorious deeds because of the mutant pine trees. Earn a lot of crystal cores.
Although Fang Yuxin's offer was quite high at the beginning, it was just as Liu Zhenglin had guessed, but any wood-type ability user with some strength could get it. The first successful contract was the third-level wood-type ability user. After all, the higher-level wood-type ability users had the purer the abilities in their bodies. The more you can make the mutant pine like it. At the same time, none of these high-level wood-type power users lacked crystal cores, so after the contract was successful, they gave the crystal cores to Fang Yuxin.
Those low-level wood-type power users who didn't have much savings in their hands were about to give up. But after Fang Yuxin made that compensation request, these people gradually discovered the benefits. Persevered, and finally the contract was successful, and the crystal nucleus was handed over to Fang Yuxin.
As a result, Fang Yuxin made a lot of money by relying on these mutant pine trees.
As the days passed, she and Bai Ye ran out several times, and finally, without making others suspect, they found a lot of animals to keep in the farm, and developed the fishery and breeding industry of the Hope Chapter. stand up. At the same time, after the establishment of the food processing plants in the base, various kinds of instant food that can be eaten immediately appeared one after another, which greatly reduced everyone's burden.
After all, fuel is limited, and many people have no way to fire at home, and food has become a problem. With Bai Zhengli's reform, the situation at the base gradually got better and better. Not only factories, schools, hospitals, research institutes, and farms have entered the right track, but agriculture has gradually developed and harvested a large amount of food.
Seeing the late autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the number of zombies and mutant beasts outside has begun to decrease, and I don't know where to hide. Without their threat, the people in the base no longer have to do tasks every day and can take a break.
Long Province is colder than other places, and it is only in late autumn when it starts to snow. A large greenhouse has been built on the farm, and the crops inside are blessed by wood-type abilities, but there is no need to worry too much, and the animals in the farm are almost all alive and well.
After the fall, I hope that the team and other forces in the base will clean up the urban area near the base, and the entire base will be expanded accordingly. Not only can everyone live loosely, but also found a large number of thick quilts and cotton jackets to distribute. The base seems to be getting better and better, and it has become a paradise in the end of the world.
However, not all bases are as lucky as the Hope base. There are a total of six small bases near the Hope Base. Except for the Ping An Base, which surrendered early in the morning and followed the Hope Base, the remaining five bases have been reluctant to bow to the Hope Base because of grudges.
Although Bai Zhengli knew that the conditions of these small bases were not ideal, he didn't mean to beg people for help, so he kept his troops on hold. Until the Ping An Base gradually developed with the support of the Hope Base, they still stubbornly refused to bow their heads.
Fortunately, after the fall, the temperature began to drop, and zombies and mutant beasts did not move as frequently as before. These small bases were barely preserved, and the bases were not breached by zombies or mutant beasts.
These bases don't have to worry about food issues. Although the situation is much worse than the Hope Base and the Peace Base, the situation is slightly better than many other bases.
Some bases are even running out of food, and many people have to leave their original bases and migrate to other places under the threat of food shortages.
The commercial base where Fang Yuxin and the others once stayed was also not ideal. The commercial market was originally a fairly developed city with a fairly large population density. Therefore, after the end of the world, there are many zombies here, and there are many survivors, but there are very few places to live.
When Fang Yuxin and the others left, the situation in the commercial base was not at its worst. After all, there were still a lot of food and other living materials in reserve at that time, and there was no need to worry about drinking water, which was completely provided by water-type abilities.
However, as time passed, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the commercial base, and no matter how much food there was, it would not be enough for people to eat.
In a nice conference room, the three generals of the base, as well as some other leaders of various factions who were able to speak, were all present. However, everyone's face was very bad.
General Li and General Song, who were originally high-spirited, were full of vicissitudes at this time. Even Qiu Hongsheng, who had successfully awakened his powers because of Yuanjing, had a very heavy face at this time. The same is true for the rest of the people here, and the situation is very bad.
They are facing a rather serious problem at this time - not enough food!
Before the apocalypse, the commercial market was quite developed, but it was not an agricultural market. Although everyone collected a lot of materials after the apocalypse, now they are already stretched thin. If it weren't for the fact that there was a farm in the base and the blessings of wood-type abilities, there would still be some harvests, and their food would have been insufficient for a long time.
After all, General Song was the oldest and the oldest, so he asked, "What are your thoughts? Let's talk about it. The current situation at the base is not optimistic. "
As soon as he opened his mouth, someone suggested, "Why don't we go to other bases to buy enough food?"
As a result, as soon as the person said it, someone said rudely: "Which base do you go to to buy grain? Which base has enough grain now? Even if it is enough, how can they sell it to us?"
Then there were new people who were dissatisfied: "The food in the base is not enough to eat. If you don't go to other bases to find a way, what else can you do? Is it possible that the food can be changed?"
Then, there were all kinds of noise.
Qiu Yiming sat beside Qiu Hongsheng, with a gloomy face, looking at everything in front of him with cold eyes, and said nothing. Since Fang Yuxin left the business base, his face has not been better. He always has a gloomy face all day long, and even his eyes are dark, like a lonely but vicious wolf.
Qiu Hongsheng secretly looked at his face and sighed inwardly. He should have known earlier that things would develop to this point, he would never let Zhou Fanghua come here!
Qiu Hongsheng couldn't understand, how did things develop to this point? The Fang family was too impulsive! In the apocalypse, except for the security base, there are zombies everywhere. How dangerous are they going out?
But at most he thought about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to mention any word about the Fang family, especially Fang Yuxin, in front of Qiu Yiming! Just because of this, Qiu Yiming, who has always been filial, even had a big quarrel with Zhou Fanghua. Until now, the relationship between mother and son has not been eased. He does not dare to take this risk!
He was even more annoyed when he listened to the noise of others. This kind of meeting has been held more than once, but unfortunately everyone has not been able to come up with a good solution. Every meeting is accompanied by various quarrels, which is very annoying.
He originally thought that he would just hang around like this, but Qiu Yiming, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up, and he said, "I'm going to the Beishi base. The situation there should be much better than ours."
Qiu Hongsheng suddenly heard him say this, and his heart suddenly jumped! (To be continued)
