Chapter 169 Harvest Before the Rainstorm

Before the wasteland was reclaimed, the snow and frozen soil on the ground had been cleared away.

In order to prevent the snow in other places from melting into water and affecting the crops in the cultivated land, wide drainage ditches were deliberately built around the cultivated land when the wasteland was reclaimed.

Even if snow water from other places flows over, it will be diverted to other places through ditches as soon as possible.

What really worries people is the rain from the sky.

The snow is just beginning to melt now and it is already drizzling in some places.

Although it is not big, it looks very scary.

After confirming that the crops in the farmland were ripe, the Y Province base immediately arranged people to come and harvest them.

Base commander Ji Yingchen came to take command in person.

In such a time when all parties are in a state of confusion, it is inevitable that someone will seize the opportunity to cause trouble.

Wei Suyi stayed at the Y Province base with the remaining strong men to set up tight defenses, and he was also the one who handled most of the matters at the Y Province base.

The situation at the Ji family base is even more exaggerated.

The cultivated land was surrounded by fully armed soldiers with loaded guns.

No one is allowed to approach the area during the grain collection period.

To be on the safe side, Ji Yingchen brought Ji Wanyi with him and asked Ji Wanyi to stay on the front line with him to deal with any accidents that might occur at any time.

The young men in the fields are still harvesting rice and other grains without looking back.

At first they were unfamiliar with the movements, but after practicing them for a while they gradually became proficient.

Behind the harvesting team are people who are also constantly collecting and packing.

They put the crops picked by the people in front into bags or boxes, and soon someone came to take them away.

Originally, it would have been faster to use a large agricultural machine, but this area is mountainous, with pieces of arable land scattered all over the mountain.

It is simply impossible to operate large agricultural machinery.

It can only be done manually in combination with some small agricultural machinery.

Because there were so many people, some people started harvesting from the inside and worked their way out, while others harvested from the edge of the field and worked their way in.

They work day and night, taking turns to change shifts.

Ji Wanyi and Ji Yingchen also stayed up all night.

Ji Wan didn't need to sleep at all, so she didn't feel anything.

Ji Yingchen is a big night owl, but that’s okay.

The two of them accompanied us throughout the trip.

Most of it was harvested on the first day.

But when the next morning dawned, the gloomy sky gave everyone a heavy blow.

The dark clouds hung so low that they seemed to be falling completely to the ground. The sky was pitch black, which was completely different from the scene that should be seen when dawn was about to break.

The howling wind blew all the remaining crops in the field in one direction.

Looking at this scene, a heavy rain is definitely coming.

No one in the field cared how strong the wind was or how dark the sky was.

Seeing that there were still many crops that had not been harvested, they could only concentrate on harvesting. Some people even cut their hands with the knife without noticing.

There was lightning flashing in the clouds not far away.

It lit up the whole world for a moment, followed by a deafening boom.

It is after this particularly heavy rain that the entire world becomes a water-dominated zone, and all traces of the cold season will be wiped out.

"Brother, I'm afraid it's too late." Ji Wanyi reminded.

"Even if it's too late, we have to collect it. The more we can grab, the better." Ji Yingchen said, and directly joined the transportation team.

Raindrops were already falling from the sky, but the people on the ground continued to collect the various foods in front of them as if they didn't notice.

Ji Wanyi walked to the cabbage field on the side, stood in the middle, raised his right hand and pinched it, and activated the control ability disguised as ice ability.

Pull up all the cabbages by the roots.

"Except for the transport team, everyone else should go to the rice field to help!"

Seeing Ji Wanyi offering help, the people in charge of this area immediately shouted.

The others set off with their weapons.

After picking the cabbage, Ji Wanyi immediately went to the next area where potatoes were planted.

Potatoes grow in the ground, and under the management of the mutant potatoes, each one grows as big as a human head.

If you use a hoe, it is difficult to dig potatoes, but after the earth-type ability user turns over the soil, you just need to pick them up.

But the sky was too dark and the potatoes on the ground didn't look very good.

Someone had to throw the potatoes into the basket while holding a flashlight.

As soon as Ji Wan came over, she used the same method to control every potato in the field and make it fly into the basket.

She did this in several places.

Crops elsewhere were quickly harvested, leaving only transportation to do.

The most commonly grown crop in the base is of course rice.

Now almost everyone has gathered in the rice fields.

It was risky enough for her to use her control ability to help harvest other crops. Now, she had to pick up each grain of rice and put it into her pocket in front of everyone. Although she could do it, it was too unbelievable and she couldn't do it.

Just as Ji Wanyi was thinking about what else she could do to help her brother, gunshots were heard from the other side of the base.

"Report, enemy attack from the north, about 300 people!"

"Report, enemy attack from the south!"

"Report, enemy attack from the west!"

…

It seemed that at this moment, enemies attacked from all directions.

Most of the people brought from the Y Province base were working in the fields. They had no weapons and only small knives for harvesting crops.

At this time, the raindrops falling from the sky gradually became denser.

Ji Wanyi was still thinking about what reasonable and useful method to use to protect the crops that had not yet been harvested.

I was still anxious.

Seeing the mutant rice glowing in the dark, Ji Wan had an idea.

Yes, she can also use the name of mutant plants.

As she thought this, a green light emanated from her body.

The mutated plants in the Ji family base also trembled in response.

Soon a green protective shield rose above the base and continued to expand outward.

Take over the entire base.

Gradually, the entire arable land area was taken over.

Unable to feel the raindrops hitting their bodies, the soldiers in the fields looked up.

Then I saw a huge cover that seemed to cover the whole world.

Through the transparent protective cover, they could also see raindrops falling on it and then sliding down the cover.

"Wanyi, how long can you hold on?" Ji Yingchen asked.

"One day." Ji Wanyi answered affirmatively.

"That's enough. Those who are injured, those who have been working in the fields non-stop, and those who were not originally assigned to this place, all leave. Take your weapons and deal with those who take advantage of others."

"Others continue to harvest."

Ji Yingchen gave the order and a group of people responded.

Thousands of people quickly put on weapons and equipment and rushed to the front lines in various places.

Ji Wanyi hadn't originally planned to follow him.

But when Ji Yingchen was leaving, a staff member of the official base accidentally spilled a glass of water on him when passing by him.

The moment the water was spilled, a red light flashed quickly in Ji Wanyi's eyes.

"Brother, wait, I'll go with you." Ji Wanyi called Ji Yingchen, got up from the ground, and walked with him to the most urgent battlefield in the front.
