Chapter 73: various preparations
After the conference, everyone worked hard to prepare for the cold winter.
As the son of the head of the base, Wang Wenyu can no longer be the same as before. Except for the task of accompanying Wen Luming's mother and son, he has to follow Wang Wence every day and is responsible for arranging various preparations for the base. They don't have time to see each other during the day except at night.
Wen Luming's water-type abilities and wood-type spiritual power are urgently needed in the base, so she takes her son to work every day and does her best to prepare as much pure water for storage as possible for the base.
The progress of ripening purple potatoes is also much faster than before. Now is an extraordinary period, she no longer hides her strength, so her purple potatoes can be harvested every two days, and her purple potato production this week alone is more than The output of all wood-type abilities adds up to more.
With her frantically increasing the production of purple potatoes, a lot of grain has been stored in the base. At this rate, before winter comes, you should be able to harvest enough food for the people in the base to survive.
More than half a month later, because there were so many people and everyone worked hard, a lot of cave dwellings were soon dug and lined up on the hillside, exuding the smell of soil.
The vast majority of people in the slums live in newly dug caves, and the conditions are much better than the previous shacks, warm in winter and cool in summer, safe and comfortable, so the survivors are very happy.
The problems of housing and food are almost all solved. Food and lodging have been worry-free; yes, in the base, ordinary people walk on their feet. Of course, those who have the ability are capable of driving or using bicycles, which is easy to handle; only the problem of clothing has not been solved.
In the hot weather of almost a year, the surviving people have not collected clothes to wear in winter. After all, in this apocalypse, whether they can survive tomorrow is a question. When you have a stomach, you have the ability to think about the problem.
So, now for the base, the biggest problem is - what to use to keep warm.
When the apocalypse comes, everyone's life has been regressed for decades. Air conditioners consume electricity. Even the head of the base at the top of the pyramid cannot use air conditioners for heating; and coal, natural gas, etc., there are only very few stocks in the base. Only capable people have the money to buy food for cooking, and it is even more impossible to use it for heating; as for fuels such as dry wood, the survivors in the base use it to cook, and it is impossible to use enough fuel for heating.
Being unable to keep warm in winter is likely to cause a large number of ordinary people to freeze to death. Therefore, it is urgent to go out to find warm clothes and quilts.
The base soon encouraged everyone to go out and collect warm clothes. Of course, they had to do what they could.
Ordinary survivors without abilities can also organize enough people to act together, because although they don’t have abilities, as long as they move flexibly and have strong hands and feet, they can kill zombies, and the end of the world has been so long, many ordinary people have skills and courage. After the exercise, as long as the team works well, safety can be guaranteed.
As for the self-reliant private powerhouse team, they have long been used to going out, so they are the most active group of people.
The official, that is, the team that went out to collect warm clothes on behalf of the base, there were power users who were summoned by the military and power users who were soldiers themselves. They were divided into different teams and went out in different directions.
Wang Wenyu was of course an official one. He still brought his group of special forces and several space ability users, because their mission was to go to the cotton province in the northwest. The population is sparse and the land is fertile. Before the end of the world, cotton was specially produced, so the cotton-padded clothes and quilt manufacturing industries there were also very developed.
Wang Wenyu went to collect these cotton-padded clothes and quilts this time. This mission was very important, so all his personal soldiers followed him on the mission. However, there were also two very special characters-Wen Luming and Wen Tiandao child.
Of course, when everyone saw the two of them appearing in the team, their eyes dropped in shock.
Wen Luming is of course not crazy, she just hasn't been out for a long time. Since she gave birth to a child, she has never faced zombies directly. Although she earns a lot of crystal cores, her skills don't need to be degraded. She must grasp it well. This is the last chance to go on a mission before winter comes, otherwise, the next trip will be a few months or even a year later.
As for why he should bring the child, firstly, the little fat man is still drinking breast milk and cannot leave her, and she has sufficient ability and confidence to protect him, and secondly, the child goes out to see more of the outside world from a young age. The experience is very beneficial to his growth. Third, the little fat man is already an ability user, the zombie virus has no effect on him, and he can also learn how to use the ability in one fell swoop, which really serves multiple purposes.
For Wen Luming's crazy move, of course, the whole family is unanimously opposed to it When Wen Luming announced that she was going to take Wen Tiandao on the mission, Mrs. Wang held her precious grandson as if looking outside. Like a star, he couldn't understand Wen Luming's thoughts, "He's still so young, he can't even walk, so when he goes out, he delivers meals to the zombies! How can you be a mother?!"
Wen Luming said to the worried Mrs. Wang, "My supernatural powers are enough to protect him, and—he still needs to drink my milk, so he can't leave me for too long."
"Then don't drink your milk! Let's drink milk powder!"
"Where can I drink milk powder now? Even if I can find it, it is likely to be expired." In fact, there are many milk powder in Wen Luming's cave. It was still kept in the cave, so Madam Wang didn't know that she had milk powder.
"If you don't have milk powder - then eat complementary food! You can drink porridge, pureed vegetables, pureed fruit... The little baby can eat these for more than 6 months!" Mrs. Wang actually helped the little guy think of other foods that he could eat.
"Xiao Wen, just don't go! This is the easiest solution. Although your abilities are very powerful, you are not lacking. It is more important for you to take care of our family's little treasures at home." Wang Wen Ce is best at solving problems from the source. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Wen Luming to give up his decision to go out.
"Yes! Yes! If you don't go, everything will be solved!" Mrs. Wang felt right after hearing what her eldest son said, and quickly agreed.
Wen Luming shook his head and said, "I haven't been out since I came to the base, and if I miss this opportunity, I may only be able to go out in a year. I'm a power user, and I can't stay away from the outside world too much. Long……"
