Chapter 257 Natural Disaster

Meiyu had a rare moment of free time, so under the pretext of inspecting internal affairs, she leisurely strolled around the seafood farm outside the base.

When she went there, she saw Jiang Zixuan standing in front of a tin bucket, thinking about something.

"Zixuan, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing her go, Jiang Zixuan did not hide it and whispered, "I found that since the space was upgraded, the stream water can actually be used to raise seafood."

"ah?"

Jiang Zixuan explained, "Before the apocalypse, I tried to raise seafood in stream water, but I couldn't keep them alive. However, a few days ago, I suddenly had an idea to try if there were any changes in the stream water, and I found that I could really use it to raise seafood."

In theory, seafood should be raised with seawater so that the pH and oxygen content can meet the standards.

But when Jiang Zixuan put some of the seafood into the iron bucket filled with stream water, she miraculously discovered that after a whole week, the seafood was not only alive and kicking, but also seemed to be much fatter.

Meiyu was also very surprised and said eagerly, "If this is true, wouldn't it be easier to farm seafood?"

"Well, in a few days, if the seafood is still alive and well, I will discuss with Zhao Yi and change the stream water to cultivate seafood later."

It's not just seafood. Maybe livestock fed with stream water will be healthier and crops irrigated with stream water will grow better.

Staring at the fish jumping around in the tin bucket, Meiyu asked again, "However, after the space was upgraded, why can the boss go in, but no one else can?"

Mingming Miaomiao is related to Jiang Zixuan by blood, so it makes sense that they could enter the space, but Jin Mohan can't be a sibling of Jiang Zixuan who has been separated for many years?

Why do I suddenly feel a sense of taboo ethics?

Jiang Zixuan also speculated about this and said awkwardly, "Well, it may involve the exchange of body fluids."

Although Meiyu is not married, she is an experienced driver after all. She immediately reacted and smiled ambiguously, "It seems that you guys do a lot. Why don't you plan to have a second child? Is this the second or third child?"

Jiang Zixuan smiled but said nothing. Meiyu teased again, "Anyway, it means that as long as you have a blood or bodily fluid connection with me, I can enter the space?"

"Well, it should be, but I can't be sure."

Jiang Zixuan felt that she might never be able to fully understand the wonders of space.

Meiyu was full of hope for the future and said, "Use more corpse crystals to upgrade. Maybe one day, the space will be upgraded to the top level and even we can enter it."

Jiang Zixuan smiled with relief, "You are much more normal than Lai Lai."

After hearing about this possibility, Zhou Xiaolai took Jiang Zixuan to get a room without saying a word. Jiang Zixuan was so scared that she ran back to the space like a frightened deer.

The two stayed at the seafood farm for a while and then went back to the base together.

They entered through the east gate, and when they passed the virus testing point outside the gate, they happened to see several familiar military vehicles parked there.

Jiang Zixuan recognized it at a glance; it was the car from the Unified Base.

She and Meiyu looked at each other and walked over together. Sure enough, they saw Qiu Liren saying something to Zhao Yi who came out to greet him.

"Brother Qiu." Jiang Zixuan shouted and ran towards Qiu Liren quickly.

Qiu Liren was startled when he heard her voice, then turned around and said dryly, "Zixuan?"

It was only a few months since they last saw each other, but both of them felt as if they had been separated for several years, and they were filled with a lot of emotion at the same time.

Jiang Zixuan rushed towards Qiu Liren without any distractions. Qiu Liren's eyes turned red and he opened his arms to hug her.

The brother and sister ignored the surprised looks around them and hugged each other.

Zhao Yi's pupils were dilated and he took a few steps back in fear, fearing that Jin Mohan would see him and implicate innocent people in his rage.

Meiyu also felt that something was wrong, so she quickly stepped forward and pulled Jiang Zixuan out, "No, no, we are not siblings. If the boss sees this, we will all be in trouble."

Jiang Zixuan grumbled like a spoiled child, "This is my brother, why can't I hug him?"

"That's right, I only have this one sister." Qiu Liren also smiled, but his smile was a little tired.

He looked much thinner, with sunken eye sockets and a sad expression, and inexplicably he looked a little more vicissitudes of life.

Jiang Zixuan also felt distressed when she saw this, and gently took Qiu Liren's arm, "Brother, welcome to our base. If you have anything to say, let's talk after you have a rest."

Qiu Liren nodded and looked at her with complicated yet relaxed expression.

To Jiang Zixuan, Qiu Liren is a very important person.

Her biological mother and sister are unreliable, and her biological father is as good as dead, so Qiu Liren really feels like her only family member from her mother's side.

The two talked for a long time and completely forgot about Qiu Ming who was traveling with them.

Qiu Ming was sitting in the car and had already noticed Jiang Zixuan. He was waiting happily for Jiang Zixuan to remember him. However, when everyone was about to set off for the base, Jiang Zixuan didn't even notice that he was there.

Qiu Ming shed tears silently and sent signals to Qiu Liren with his resentful eyes.

However, Qiu Liren's mind was not on this, so he didn't understand his father's intention until everyone got in the car and set off.

Several military vehicles drove into the base to meet Jin Mohan first.

In the reception room of the administrative building, the aroma of tea lingers in the air.

Several senior officials from the Jinmo Cold Zone Base met with Qiu Ming and his group. The two sides sat together very harmoniously and exchanged polite greetings.

Although Jiang Zixuan was in a cold war with Jin Mohan, she stayed in the meeting room in order to understand Shan Changcheng's situation.

In serious occasions, Qiu Ming was dignified and solemn, without any sign of being dishonorable.

"The Leia base is indeed one of the most perfect parks in the world. Whether it is infrastructure or public resources, our base is far behind."

Jin Mohan was polite but perfunctory, "You are right."

Qiu Ming: “…”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, chief diplomat Ke Zhenshan immediately came out to smooth things over.

He was a talkative person to begin with. He was a gorgeous socialite before the end of the world, and in the end of the world he also took on the responsibility of talking, and with just a few words he could get the topic back on track.

After chatting about this and that for a long time, the pleasantries finally ended and the topic turned to the main purpose of the visit.

Qiu Ming took a sip of tea and said admiringly, "Good tea. This is the new tea after the beginning of spring, right? Xiao Jin, you really know how to enjoy it."

Most people say this, and anyone who knows a thing or two will naturally offer some tea as a courtesy.

However, Jin Mohan looked at Jiang Zixuan's expression and felt that she didn't seem to like Qiu Ming very much. In order not to make the relationship between the couple worse, he had to offend this unpleasant father-in-law for the time being.

"The base has a small planting area, so the harvested tea is not much. Commander Qiu likes it, so drink more."

There is no extra land in the base for growing tea trees. This part of the best new tea was planted by Jiang Zixuan randomly in the space and allowed to grow freely.

Qiu Ming didn't necessarily want tea, his purpose was to bring up the next topic.

"Xiao Jin, let's get straight to the point. What do you think about the current global drought situation?"

Jin Mohan frowned with regret, "The water resources in our base are also becoming increasingly depleted, which is indeed a headache. However, this is a natural disaster, and no matter how powerful humans are, they cannot reverse it."
