Three Hundred and Ninety Food Crisis
Since the mutated pine trees appeared outside the base, the security of the entire base has improved several levels in an instant. These mutated pine trees are really too tall, and the protective wall of the base is only ten meters high. These mutated pine trees are fully 90 meters higher than the protective wall!
If a group of zombies or mutated beasts attack, before the supernatural beings in the base do anything, as long as these zombies enter the warning distance of these mutated pine trees, these mutated pine trees will shoot out one by one like chicken blood. The pine needles pricked those zombies and mutant beasts like hedgehogs.
Not only the zombies and mutant beasts on the ground are like this, but also the zombie birds and mutant birds in the sky are treated equally. Once it gets close to the warning distance of the mutated pine tree, it will end up being tied into a hedgehog.
Since those wood-type supernatural beings got Fang Yuxin's answer, 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 first, and they looked down on the wood-type abilities imported by these wood-type power users, and they were so picky.
At the beginning, although they accepted the overtures of the wood-type supernatural beings, they refused to agree to the contract at all, and they were quite tempered. As a result, some people began to retreat, but more people persisted. Gradually, these wood-type supernatural beings also learned to be smart, knowing that giving charcoal in the snow is more favorable to these mutated pine trees than icing on the cake. So every time a group of zombies or mutated beasts came, they waited for the mutated pine tree to consume a lot of energy due to its big move, and then gave them wood-type abilities.
Over time, these mutated pine trees gradually understood that Fang Yuxin could no longer give them wood-type true essence, so some good-tempered mutated pine trees agreed to make a contract with the wood-type supernatural being who saw the right eye.
However, there are still many hard-tempered or more cunning mutant pine trees, which have been biting and refusing to let go. But gradually, hesitantly, these mutated pine trees contributed a lot, so they all had a share of the crystal nuclei that were finally hunted down. It's just that this crystal nucleus was not directly given to these mutated pine trees, but to the wood-type ability user who was responsible for inputting wood-type abilities into them. It can be said that although not every mutated pine tree has a contract with the corresponding wood-type power user, there are still wood-type power users who continuously input wood-type power into them.
Fang Yuxin put forward this proposal at the very beginning. After all, these mutated pine trees have contributed a lot to protecting the base, so we can't be greedy for their crystal nucleus. Moreover, although they will grow new pine needles in an instant after shooting out pine needles, the consumption is very high, and they must be compensated. 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 mutated pine trees agreed to the contract. However, the wood-type power users in the base didn't plan to take them with them. Instead, they let them stay outside the protective wall and were responsible for guarding the safety of the base. At the same time, their masters also earned a lot of crystal nuclei because of the mutated pine trees' frequent meritorious deeds.
Although the quotation Fang Yuxin gave at the beginning was quite high, it was just as Liu Zhenglin guessed, but any wood-type supernatural power user with some strength could offer it. In the beginning, the three-level wood-type power user was the one who succeeded in the contract. After all, the purer the power in the body of the high-level wood-type power user, the more they can be liked by the mutated pine tree. At the same time, these high-level wood-type superpowers did not lack crystal nuclei in their hands, so they gave Fang Yuxin the crystal nuclei after the contract was successful.
Those wood-type power users who were low-level and didn't have much savings in their hands were about to give up, but after Fang Yuxin made the compensation request, these people gradually discovered the benefits of it, persisted, and eventually all contracted successfully. And handed over the crystal nucleus to Fang Yuxin.
As a result, Fang Yuxin made a lot of money relying on these mutant pine trees.
As the days passed, she and Bai Ye ran out several times, and finally, without letting others suspect,
I found a lot of animals to raise in the farm, and developed the fishery and breeding industry of the Legion of Hope. At the same time, after the establishment of the food processing factories in the base, a variety of ready-to-eat convenience foods appeared one after another, which greatly reduced everyone's burden.
After all, fuel is limited, and many people have no way to start a fire at home, and food becomes a problem. With Bai Zhengli's reforms, the situation in the base gradually became better and better. Not only factories, schools, hospitals, research institutes, and farms are on the right track, but agriculture has also gradually developed, and a large amount of grain has been harvested.
Seeing that it was late autumn and the weather was getting colder and colder, the number of zombies and mutant beasts outside began to decrease, and they didn't know where they were hiding. Without their threat, the people in the base no longer have to go out to do missions every day, and can take a break temporarily.
Long Province is colder than other places, and it started to snow in late autumn. A large greenhouse has been built on the farm, and the crops inside are blessed by wood-type supernatural beings, so there is no need to worry too much, and almost all the animals in the farm are alive and well.
After autumn, I hope that the team and other forces in the base will clean up the urban areas near the base, and the entire base will expand as a result. Not only can everyone live more comfortably, but also find a lot of thick quilts and cotton jackets to distribute. Seeing that the base is getting better and better, it seems to have become a paradise in the last days.
However, not all bases are as lucky as Hope. There are a total of six small bases near the Hope Base. Except for the Ping An Base, which voted in the early morning and mixed with the Hope Base, the remaining five bases have been refusing to bow to the Hope Base because of their grudges.
Although Bai Zhengli knew that the conditions of these small bases were not ideal, he didn't intend to ask for help, so he stayed put. Until Ping An Base gradually developed with the support of Hope Base, they still stubbornly refused to bow their heads.
Fortunately, the temperature began to drop after autumn, and the activities of zombies and mutant beasts were not as frequent as before. These small bases barely survived, 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 that of the Hope Base and the Safe Base, it is slightly better than many other bases.
Some bases were even about to run out of food, and many people had to leave their original bases and migrate to other places under the threat of food shortage.
The situation in the commercial city base where Fang Yuxin and the others stayed was also not ideal. Shangshi was originally a city with a fairly developed economy and a fairly high population density. So after the end of the world, there are many zombies and survivors here, but few places to live.
When Fang Yuxin and the others left, the situation in the commercial city base was not at its worst. After all, there were still a lot of food and other living supplies in reserve at that time, and there was no need to worry about drinking water, which was completely provided by water-type supernatural beings.
However, as time passed day by day, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the commercial city base, no matter how much food there was, it was still not enough for people to eat.
In a nice meeting room, the three generals of the base, and some other leaders of various forces who were able to speak and have good strength were all present. However, everyone's complexion is very bad.
General Li and General Song, who were originally quite high-spirited, were full of vicissitudes at this time. Even Qiu Hongsheng, who later successfully awakened his supernatural power because of Yuan Jing, had a very heavy expression at this time. The same is true for everyone else here, and the situation is not good.
They are facing a very serious problem at this time-there is not enough food!
The commercial market was quite developed before the end of the world, but it was not an agricultural market. After the end of the world, although everyone collected a lot of materials, but now, it has begun to be stretched. Had it not been for the establishment of a farm in the base and the blessing of wood-type supernatural beings, they would have had some harvests, and their food would have been long gone.
After all, General Song was the oldest and the oldest, so he asked, "What do you think, why don't you tell me. The current situation in the base is not optimistic, we must find a way, and we must not continue to sit and wait for death. "
As soon as he opened his mouth, someone suggested: "How about going to other bases to buy food?"
As a result, as soon as this person said it, someone said bluntly: "Which base should I go to buy food? Which base still has enough food? 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 we don't go to other bases to find a way, what else can we do? Is it possible to transform the food?"
Then, there were all kinds of noise.
Qiu Yiming was sitting beside Qiu Hongsheng, with a gloomy face, he looked at everything in front of him coldly, and said nothing. Ever since Fang Yuxin left the Shangshi base, his complexion has not been better. He always has a gloomy face all day long, and even looks at people with sinister eyes, like a lonely but vicious wolf.
Qiu Hongsheng secretly looked at his face and sighed inwardly. If he had known that things would develop to this point, he would never have let Zhou Fanghua mess around!
Qiu Hongsheng couldn't figure it out, how did things develop to this point? The Fang family is too impulsive! In the last days, apart from the safe base, zombies are everywhere outside. How dangerous are they going out?
But he only thought about it in his heart at most, and didn't dare to mention any word about the Fang family, especially Fang Yuxin, in front of Qiu Yiming! Because of this matter, Qiu Yiming, who has always been filial, even had a big fight with Zhou Fanghua. Until now, the relationship between mother and child has not been eased. He dare not take this risk at all!
He was even more annoyed when he heard other people's noise. 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 might just hang around like this, but Qiu Yiming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. He said, "I'm going to the Beishi base. The situation there should be much better than ours."
When Qiu Hongsheng heard him say these words suddenly, his heart skipped a beat! R1152
