The two branches inserted into the space have grown into big trees. They are indeed mulberry trees. The mulberry leaves are broad and tender green. Lin Man can't help but want to take a bite. She thinks it would be great if there are silkworms. She can raise silkworms and produce silk. Silk quilts can keep warm.

There were a few red or purple mulberries hanging among the mulberry leaves, but unfortunately Lin Man couldn't eat because his body had not entered the space yet.

The peach, osmanthus, and pine trees also adapted well. They were all old trees. Once they had taken root and sprouted branches and leaves, the spiritual energy they produced daily was indeed more abundant and purer than that of crops. Guan Guan generously distributed his spiritual energy to the land, continuously improving the soil, forming a virtuous cycle within the space. Guan Guan said that in a few years at most, a spring would appear in the space, and with the appearance of spiritual springs, the entire space would be upgraded. Lin Man looked forward to that day.

But the prerequisite for all this is spiritual energy. Spiritual energy is needed to make the pipes strong and to improve the soil.

Lin Man urgently wanted to earn spiritual energy.

The next day, Lin Zhongrong slept late for the first time in his life. Half of his exhausted fatigue the night before was fake, but the other half was real. However, after just one night, most of the energy in his body was restored. Before leaving in the morning, he got a big electric cage for Lin Man to absorb. If he had not left today, he would have been happy to continue to be a mobile charger for his daughter.

Before Lin Man's birthday, the water in the pool had already frozen solid. People outside could breathe into ice, so it was unbelievably cold in winter. But on the rare occasions when the weather was good, Lin Man would lead his men to the surrounding provinces, conducting a blanket search for zombies city by city, region by region.

She had a zombie detector brought by two people, but it was not very sensitive. Fortunately, she had Guan Guan's universal sensing ability. Over the entire winter, they completed the search in three provinces and only found two zombies, both of which were almost frozen to death. They solved them easily and neatly. However, they found quite a few survivors, who were naturally taken back in batches.

The four bases in the north also sent personnel to search for zombies across the country. This time there was much more movement and determination than last summer, but the zombies were easy to deal with, but the survivors found in this operation were difficult to resettle.

The four major bases divided up the Dongyang base, and each base basically got more than 400,000 people. The demand for population was oversaturated for a while, and the food pressure was huge. There was no spare capacity and no willingness to take in more survivors. Someone suggested that Dayan Mountain in the south should take in these people. It was a base after all. It couldn't be that only the four major bases in the north worked hard for the country, while the two bases in the south did nothing, right?

The Nanming base has to feed 200,000 people and is really unable to take care of itself. Dayan Mountain, which has just caught people's attention, has become the best place to throw the hot potato. If Dayan Mountain refuses, then it's perfect. They have the right to demand a share of the resources there.

Lin Zhongrong, haha, was so irritable that he wanted to kill someone. He wanted his daughter to be sick and weak and raised in vain, unable to make any contribution for at least a few months, and there was even the possibility that she would become a survivor and cause trouble. He was dreaming!

He almost wanted to say that the "expert" who made supernatural weapons that you were crying and clamoring to meet was right there in Dayan Mountain. It was the person in charge of Dayan Mountain, his daughter, who you now wanted to force out to take responsibility!

But he held back, knowing these people were primarily targeting him. Some were grateful to him for his supernatural weapons and for leading the zombie extermination, while others feared and resented him. They felt Dayan Mountain was his private property, and they seized on it to cause him trouble or tear a piece of his flesh off.

After discussing it, Lin Man felt that taking in a group of people was the same as taking in a large group of people. Dayan Mountain was about to establish a base, and what it needed most was population.

Today's population has basically been divided up by the four major bases in the north and the Nanming base. Dayanshan does not want to compete with them for people, nor can it accept Lin Zhongrong sending a large number of people over. Therefore, the only source that can rapidly increase the population is the survivors scattered everywhere.

Although the quality is a bit poor, there is no shortage of food in Dayan Mountain. If they are taken good care of, they will surely stay healthy.

But this time, there are tens of thousands of survivors found across the country who are willing to leave their original places. This is really a burden for the newly developed Dayan Mountain. The four major bases must give them some compensation for accepting so many people in this cold winter. They don’t want anything else, they just want people with special abilities, and they must have special abilities who can truly register their household registration in Dayan Mountain.

The four major bases have much stricter population management than the Nanming base, especially for people with special abilities. Basically, they are allowed to enter but not leave, and they absolutely cannot allow them to leave. It is basically impossible to snatch people with special abilities from them.

The four major bases were furious. Those survivors weren't theirs, so why should they be compensated? However, because they didn't want to offend Lin Zhongrong too much, they finally agreed to each base send a few psychics to Dayan Mountain. However, they were all weak psychics, basically no different from normal people, and were even considered a burden.

Those who wanted to please Lin Zhongrong and get their desired weapons earlier took the opportunity to send him some people with special abilities in the name of supporting Dayan Mountain.

"Old Ma, we are your superiors and subordinates. I have found a good place for you to retire."

"Ever since your powers weakened, I've raised you for so many years in vain. Now that food is scarce at home, I can't afford to support you. You should go and get a spot."

"Just stay there from now on. You are no longer part of our base."

The same scene is also being played out at the Reunion Base, but the style here is indeed completely opposite.

"Let me tell you, the food at Dayan Mountain is really delicious. You won't regret going there."

"The two children from the Zhang and Song families are right there now, crying and begging to get over there. If you don't believe me, how can I not believe them?"

"The situation at our base is complicated right now. It's good for you to go there to relax. If the environment is good, you can retire there. If not, it's just a matter of a word for you to come back."

"I heard from those kids who came back that there are crops everywhere, the granaries are overflowing, and there are apples to eat. Tsk tsk, as a person with special abilities like you, you will definitely be treated well there. If you get any apples, remember to send a few back to me!"

"We're both psychics, so there's nothing much to do here. Why don't we go and sign up? What are you worried about? This is Lin Zhongrong's territory, so he's trustworthy."

The seven second-generation rich who were driven back said: "Dad/Grandpa, let us go too."

"Are you people with special abilities? Be good, we only want people with special abilities."

Lin Man explained her request to Lin Zhongrong. She was just trying it out. It would be great if she could get a few people with special abilities, but if not, that was fine. She could also rent people with special abilities with special abilities weapons, and then arrange for them to demonstrate their special abilities every day, while the fighter jets would absorb them secretly.

But she didn't expect that the four major bases finally promised to give her as many as four hundred people with special abilities.

She was shocked. Are people with superpowers so worthless?

Later I heard that among them, there were about one hundred people with special abilities from outside the Reunion Base, all of whom had weakened abilities and were abandoned. The other three hundred or so people came from the Reunion Base, but most of them were old and weak, and few of them were of serious use.

However, if the quality is not enough, the quantity can make up for it. Lin Man is very satisfied with this number. Including their families, there are about 1,600 people in this group. Moreover, they have been screened by Lin Zhongrong himself. Those who have great resentment towards him or have bad character have been eliminated.

It should be mentioned here that Lin Zhongrong took this opportunity to gather a total of fifty people with special abilities for Lin Man. This is also the highest quality group of people with special abilities, and there are also many powerful people among their families.

In early March, along with these nearly 2,000 people, there were also more than 30,000 refugee survivors.

In order to accommodate these people, Dayanshan built houses in full swing in the strong wind and on the frozen soil. Due to the haste, they built large houses with large bunk beds, the kind that could sleep twenty or thirty people on a large kang.

The grain in the granary was counted over and over again, for fear that it was not arranged carefully enough and there would not be enough to eat in the end.

The small clothing and shoemaking workshop that had been closed started operating again. Thanks to Lin Zhongrong for sending supplies to Lin Man on his birthday, otherwise there would be no materials to make clothes and shoes.
