Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 985: April Spring and Autumn August Winter

Chapter 985: April Spring and Autumn August Winter

In April, spring, autumn and August, winter, not only was there no harvest of grain, but even small animals began a tragic elimination for survival.

If they are released, they will die if they have no food and cannot withstand the cold. Although being hunted is also a dead end, Shen Yanming is more afraid that people will not hunt them, and the animals will run away and die. It would be a waste of time and resources.

On New Year's Eve of that year, although there was meat in the base cafeteria, everyone lost their usual joy. The Spring Festival Gala on TV also lost its appeal. All everyone watched was the abundant harvest of rice and wheat fields in space.

"It's great to have space. If I had such a thing, I would definitely keep it secret. But even if I tell others, I'm not afraid. Our alliance is so humane that we won't let ourselves go hungry."

"Alas, I didn't feel that way before, but now I'm so envious. I also want to have a space."

"I don't want a place that big, just one that's a hundred square meters will do. If that doesn't work, I don't even want a place that can be used for planting, just something that can store things will do."

"Ah, what a sweet dream. If something good really happens, will it be your turn?"

"Hehe, I'm just thinking about it. But to be honest, it's really good to have space. It can keep a stable harvest regardless of drought or flood, and we don't have to worry about extreme weather anymore."

"Hey, thinking back, shouldn't we go to the Imperial Capital? Captain Li is there, so he won't let the residents of the base starve, right?"

"Who said it wasn't? Although Haishi is not bad, there are no space-capable people. I don't know if everyone will be able to have enough food in two years."

"Leave it to fate, unless you have the ability to go to the Imperial Capital."

"Forget it. After migrating once, I never want to experience the feeling of living in uncertainty again. What's more, the weather is getting colder and colder. I'm afraid it will be winter soon after I leave Hai City."

"Besides, the resources over there should have been occupied. We will most likely be suppressed if we go there. It is better for us to stay in Hai City. Wen Mengguan is a good leader and will not let us starve."

"I hope so!"

Everyone placed their hopes on Wen Chaohui, but Wen Chaohui was struggling at the moment.

The situation was far more serious than he had imagined. Haishi had spent more than it earned in the past two years. He had originally thought that if he could farm, the deficit would be reversed soon, but he hadn't expected that this was just the beginning.

We still have the Spring and Autumn Period now, but what will we do when one day even the Spring and Autumn Period is gone?

Wen Chaohui's hair turned white with worry, and he felt that it was really difficult to be the head of this base.

Jiang Shulian got a meal from the cafeteria and put it on his table: "Boss, you should go home. It's New Year's Day and your family is waiting for you."

Wen Chaohui felt annoyed. He took two bites of his food and looked up and said, "You go back. I'm on duty tonight."

"How can this be possible?"

"Why not? Are you the only one who is worthy?"

Jiang Shulian was speechless. Looking at Wen Mengguan's unmoved expression, he shook his head and left.

After everyone left, Wen Chaohui put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed deeply.

In such a lively atmosphere, he should not go home and upset his wife. He has been frowning recently and has been criticized by his family.

In the Imperial Capital, Chief Alliance Officer Li was also in a bad mood.

I thought these few years were peaceful and I could rest and recuperate. But who would have thought that the human planet would not follow the usual path, and suddenly there was no summer, and even the spring and autumn were shortening.

All the officers of the Li Alliance were thinking, if there was no Li Sikai, where would Qinghua Country go? Although the road ahead was worrying, with Xiaokai as the support, everyone was still stable.

"Uncle, why are you hiding here?" Li Sikai came over tremblingly, leaning on a crutch.

Chief Alliance Officer Li hurried forward to help: "Why don't you take a wheelchair?"

"I want to move around." Li Sikai smiled, "Shall we go for a walk?"

"Okay!" Chief Alliance Officer Li helped him walk forward: "How is it, does your head still hurt?"

"It's OK. I can bear it."

"Where are the arms and legs?"

"Not bad."

Chief Alliance Officer Li was surprised: "Why, this year's faith value is not as high as last year's?"

"Yes, but I have experienced a lot and endured a lot." Li Sikai looked at the endless wheat fields in the distance: "The next upgrade will probably take a long time. Maybe, two or three years later."

“I hope it won’t escalate any further.” Chief Alliance Officer Li said with a smile.

Li Sikai shook his head: "The weather outside is getting more and more abnormal. If we don't upgrade and save food quickly, I'm afraid our lives will be difficult in the future."

"That's right. It's what the heavens have, and what the earth has, that's why we have you and me. By the way, have you drunk up all the energy rainwater? How much honey is left?"

"I have saved a bucket of energy rainwater and haven't drunk it yet. I'll drink it next time I upgrade. As for honey, I still have three cans, which is not a small amount."

"I'll call Yanming later and ask him to keep an eye on it and get more."

"No need, uncle?"

"Listen to me. If spring doesn't come next year, where can we find honey? You need to take good care of your body. Besides, we won't treat him badly. Can't we exchange it for food?"

"Okay, but he may not be able to get it. Uncle, let's just go with the flow and don't be too deliberate."

"Yes, I know."

The two didn't say anything more. They listened to the laughter in the distance and thought about their own things.

In Haishi, Wen Chaohui and Shen Yanming received a call from Imperial Capital on the first day of the Lunar New Year. They were used to it and could remain calm.

Chief Alliance Officer Li explained his purpose, and Shen Yanming frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.

It's not that he didn't want to help Li Sikai, but he couldn't think of anything else to help him except honey. That person had a space, and it was really inconvenient to take out ordinary things.

But he didn't refuse directly: "Let me look for it." He said with a smile.

After hearing this, Chief Alliance Officer Li felt relieved and nodded: "Thank you very much."

After the Spring Festival, we should have resumed normal work, but due to the weather, many people were unemployed and stayed at home. There was nothing we could do. It was too cold and we couldn't do many things. Even the land reclamation and farming were put on hold. There was no need to rush to do the rest.

An An and Nuan Nuan dress like bears to go to school every day. Everyone is so envious when they see their clothes.

In the eyes of the others who were envious, the two children were speechless. This dress belonged to their parents. Although it was nice, it didn't fit them.

And because they were worried about being noticed by others, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan didn't dare to make them smaller, so they just wrapped them around their bodies.

If An An Nuan Nuan wasn't tall, she would probably step on him while walking.

The two kids felt the wind blowing in from their necks and calves, their faces were bitter. Before they went to school, they could wear whatever they wanted. Now it's really sad.

I really want to grow up to be as tall as my parents so that I can wear clothes that fit me.

The situation did not improve in the new year, but worsened. It was not until the end of May that the temperature rose above zero degrees. Needless to say, it was impossible to grow crops.
