Volume 3 Chapter 74 The squad for clearing the land
The two old men who have struggled against each other for over half a century, finally reached a consensus on one thing. I have to say that this is a miracle.
As expected by Grandpa Qin, after Shao Qing sent fruits and vegetables for the second time, someone was openly and secretly spying on him.
After all, everyone knew that healthy fruits and vegetables can no longer be grown in Jing Du. Sooner or later, no one would not want to live, but there are more people who want to make a fuss about it.
Their idea is relatively simple, that is, being able to transport such a large amount of fruits and vegetables shows at least two points. The first is that there is still a place where the land is not polluted and can grow healthy fruits and vegetables. Second, this place is not small.
If they can find the source of these vegetables and fruits, they will have control of the life of the entire country. After all, after this test, it was discovered that all the bases in the country had been contaminated. That is, the place where the vegetables were sent from, may be the last piece of pure land in the country.
Being able to grow fruits and vegetables means that this place can also grow food. Doesn’t the control of food mean you are controlling the life of the entire country?
As long as you control this place, you will have power, status, everything…
No one can refuse this temptation, so in less than a day, there were ten people who came to speak with Grandpa Qin.
Most of them haven’t explicitly asked about it. Firstly, the situation hasn’t reached the worst state. Secondly, the status of Master Qin. They still dare not be too tough.
The Qin family’s power was strong. If you want to force them, you must first weigh yourself, to see whether you have the ability.
Although the Qin family was very powerful, there were still a few powers in the huge capital that were not afraid of the Qin family. They were relatively stable and were still waiting and watching. When things are really getting to the worst point, they will also take action.
As for face… no matter how important face is, isn’t life more important?
At the same time, these people were also secretly cursing the Qin family. They have controlled such a good place, shouldn’t they share it with everyone? Yet, they still want to eat alone?
As expected, the older the ginger the spicier it is.
Some people with thinner skin began to find reasons. They felt that they were thinking of all mankind, so the Qin family should publicize it, rather than hiding it. They were extremely selfish.
Although the two groups have different ideas, the goal was the same.
As the situation became more serious, this group of people began to feel more anxious. They did not care about their face, they just wanted to dig information out.
In fact, if they really did a ruthless investigation, it was easy to find out. After all, for such a big team, information such as where it has passed through and where it has stopped, can be easily found out. Their route was smooth, so where the starting point was was clear at a glance.
So when they didn’t make any progress with Grandpa Qin, they began to check the route. Although the people on Shao Qing’s side rarely stopped at the bases along the way, they still did.
The group of people in Jing Du ruthlessly investigated. It took a week to figure out the road map. After they figured out the road map, they looked intently and were shocked.
Because the most likely starting point was Jiangcheng.
The person who drew this picture was also stunned. He stammered: “Did we check it wrong? Do you want to check it again.”
“It’s not necessary. Maybe someone cleaned Jiangcheng and then moved in. Everything is possible. Send a few people to investigate and see the situation.” The person in charge gritted his teeth.
They can’t let go of the glimmer of hope. It’s better to kill the wrong one than miss out on this opportunity.
If it’s not Jiangcheng, then it will be hard to find because according to the road map, the spot must be near Jiangcheng. However, there was no survivor base near Jiangcheng because there were too many zombies there. At the beginning, there were bases trying to clean up Jiangcheng.
After all, before the end of the world, Jiangcheng was a very prosperous city with good conditions in all aspects. If Jiangcheng can be cleared out and moved in, it will be much more convenient.
At that time, nearly a hundred superhumans went and finally ran back in embarrassment. This was because Jiangcheng had a lot of markets and even more advanced zombies.
They suffered a great loss, and finally no longer dared to make a plan to get Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng became a real zombie den and was abandoned by everyone.
For the sake of this small hope now, they still have to send someone to check it out and see what is going on in Jiangcheng? Is it possible that those vegetables and fruits really flowed out of Jiangcheng?
If it really came from Jiangcheng, then the problem is tricky.
Those who have the ability to clear out Jiangcheng must be very powerful. It would be difficult to force the other party to submit and surrender the secrets of their own base.
If it were them, they would definitely not want to reveal their secret just like that. After all, this secret was too valuable. If handled properly, it might even turn Jiangcheng into the largest survivor base in the country.
Or the most valuable.
Of course, if the operation was handled improperly, it will cause everyone to besiege them. It will be destroyed instantly.
After several forces got the news, they all sent people to try to explore Jiangcheng. When they sent people out to investigate, Shao Qing was leading her friends to open up the land. She was also clear about the outside situation and now she was preparing to receive the entire Qin family.
The Qin family has a big business and naturally many people. If you want to feed the Qin family, the existing planting base will be too small, especially now that only fruits and vegetables are grown in the current planting base.
Only eating fruits and vegetables would not stop hunger. She has to open a new planting base to grow a large number of crops like wheat and rice as staple food.
When the time comes, even if the entire Qin family has moved over, she will be able to raise everyone!
Tang Tiande was still at Hope survivor base, and has not come back. After all, Hope survivor base was still under construction and he needed to make appearances as the mini base leader.
Hope survivor base has also been infected. Tang Tiande sent a message at the time to discuss with Shao Qing whether he could buy a portion of the vegetables and fruits to the survivor base in a stable manner every month.
Shao Qing gave him a few brief words in reply. Come back to work, then she’ll sell fruits and vegetables at half the price to Hope Survivor Base.
The person who was clearing the ground was a squad led by Shao Qing. She was also followed by Tan Xiao, who seemed to faint all the time. After all, a normal person living in a place surrounded by zombies, it is hard not to be afraid.
They were all acting as a commander. All the real work was done by the zombies, and they were all quite high ranked zombies. Zombies with too low of a rank have stiff bodies and can’t do a lot of work.
The ones with the highest levels are those who followed Yin Ye to get revenge. Because they were all artificial, their wisdom was very high. It was easy to do some work that ordinary zombies couldn’t do.
For example, holding a hoe to plant the ground.
Jiangcheng was too big. Removing the part occupied by the zombies, and the place where Shao Qing and the others live, the rest was all open space. So, those gardens and parks have all been cleared and turned into vegetable gardens and farmland used to grow some food.
The group of zombies worked hard and didn’t have to be paid wages. They were simply the best labor force. Because of the large number of people, it only took a day to open up the large area.
Three days later, a large planting base, as well as a breeding base appeared.
There were mainly three crops in the planting base: rice, wheat and corn. After all, the seeds of these three crops were the most common and most suitable for staple food.
In addition to these three, there were some in relatively small quantities, such as potatoes. Potatoes were purely wild. After all, too long has passed since the beginning of the end of the world. Even if there were potatoes left, they would have rotted long ago, let alone sprout and grow.
It’s paddy and the like, which can be grown.
Next to it was the vegetable planting base. The vegetable planting base was dominated by cabbage. Looking at it, there was a white verdant green. In addition to the cabbage, there were also some small youcai, spinach, eggplant, peppers, beans, and cucumbers.
It was more diversified. The main thing that was transported out was cabbage. The other bits and pieces were left for their own people.
Fruits were also more diversified. Basically the fruits that existed before the end of the world can all be seen here. After all, after the end of the world, the fruits have also mutated and become very adaptable. They can be grown no matter where they are. There was no need to divide southern fruits and northern fruits.
In Shao Qing’s fruit planting base, there were coconut and banana trees next to apple trees. Pineapples and durians were planted with strawberries.
These fruits were generally not transported out. At most, a little is given to the family members to eat, especially strawberries. There was no way to transport strawberries at all, they are too easy to break.
Things like planting vegetables was also addictive, especially after the end of the world. When Shao Qing and the others were planting, they just couldn’t stop.
There was a special sense of accomplishment and motivation.
Next to it was a newly-built breeding base. The enclosed large area of grassland was also artificially planted. After planting, it was enclosed. A lot of cows, sheeps, pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. were raised in captivity.
There was a fence in the middle, separated into a circle with all kinds of animals in it. You can come here to catch it when you want to eat it.
After everything was settled, Shao Qing clapped her hands and stood in the distance to see the base she made with her own hands. There was a different sense of accomplishment and security in her heart.
It doesn’t matter if the outside is really contaminated. All these vegetables, fruits, grains and meat here were enough for her and her family to eat for a lifetime!
