When Bai Shuang told him about her idea of ​​raising chickens, Uncle Li was instantly revitalized.

How many chickens are there in the base in total?

"Not many, only a little over a hundred."

"Release the chickens, release them immediately, release them all, don't leave them a single one."

Bai Shuang and the others didn't expect that Uncle Li would be so domineering; he probably really disliked those families.

Bai Shuang smiled and instantly transformed into a well-behaved girl, "Okay, I'll listen to my martial uncle."

He nodded in satisfaction, "Your martial uncle will take care of it for you."

"You're not going to be the dean anymore?"

"Hey, the hospital is so small now, what's there to manage? Vice President Li can handle it all by himself."

Bai Shuang: "Forget it, you should stay in charge of the hospital. I'll hand over the planting area to Liu Changhong."

“I’ll manage it with him.”

Bai Shuang: "Whatever you say."

After saying that, Uncle Li wanted to leave.

"etc."

Bai Shuang handed him an apple, "Eat it before you leave."

Li Wenyuan took it in his hand, crunched, and took a bite.

She glanced at Bai Shuang sideways, "It's like I'm the one who stole the food."

Despite his words, he still sat down and started eating, and then Bai Shuang handed him a slaughtered chicken.

"Take it back and stew it. If they ask, just say it's from the base."

That same day, Bai Shuang put the more than one hundred chickens into the greenhouse, put air conditioning fans inside to cool them down, and then added water.

When no one is around, Bai Shuang will secretly release the chickens, ducks, and geese from her space for a good meal to reduce the number of insects.

Later, Bai Shuang asked Uncle Li to take charge of hatching the chicks. When Uncle Mike found out, he also brought his junior brother to help.

This time, they abandoned their arrogance and finally faced reality.

The space chickens cannot be taken out, and the base only has 130 chickens, which is far from enough to meet the insect-eating task of 15 acres of land.

November arrived quickly, and life at the new base was back on track.

Ling Liyuan continued to lead the construction team, working on the foundation of the circular structure.

The roads to the few underwater derivative lakes closest to the new base have been completed, and able-bodied workers can now go fishing for seafood to earn points.

Seafood processing at the base is also in full swing thanks to the efforts of some medium-sized laborers.

They also dug quite a few wells inside the base, which were barely enough to meet the needs of the survivors.

Just then, the insect plague broke out.

Because the foundation of the new base was not paved, the residential area was infested with insects, and people were frequently bitten by them.

Those few families who followed suit and planted crops soon found their seeds devoured by mutated insects, and were so frightened that they dared not plant again.

Not only did they fail to harvest anything, they also lost points, and several companies returned their land to the base.

Later, when he saw Bai Shuang raising chickens in the shed, he regretted it and went to the base to ask for the land back, but it was too late.

The person in charge of the land at the base handed it all over to Bai Shuang the moment they returned.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

At this moment, Commander Wang led the head of the Yuwen family to appear in Grandpa Lu's office again.

The head of the Yuwen family said he could set up an array to make the insects in the residential area retreat.

The condition is that he must become the base director, and from then on, Lu Lao will only be in charge of military affairs, while he will be in charge of civilian affairs.

Old Master Lu: "Patriarch Yuwen has quite the big mouth. It's a pity that our military base doesn't have a base commander."

Moreover, the insect problem can definitely be solved as long as our military and civilians are of one mind and work together.

Commander Wang: "You have to consider the wishes of the people."

Mr. Lu: "I'll say it again, the military base did not force anyone to stay."

Anyone who doesn't like it can leave at any time.

They failed to persuade Elder Lu, nor could they shake his leadership position, so they could only leave in a huff.

Grandpa Lu bears the heavy responsibility of preserving the Chinese nation's heritage, and he would never easily hand over power to anyone.

Not to mention those with malicious intentions.

Afterwards, Old Master Lu had his personal guards call Bai Shuang and Lu Yu.

After the two left, Commander Liu was also there. Grandpa Lu had his guards repeat what the Yuwen family head had just said and asked for their opinions.

Commander Liu: "Tch! They think they can control the base just because they have a little ability? If those reclusive families were truly capable, what would they be doing here?"

Lu Yu nodded: "Even if a person with evil intentions can command the wind and rain, they can't be allowed to call the shots."

Bai Shuang: "I also know the kind of formation he mentioned, and I also have the spirit jade that provides energy, but I don't think it's necessary to waste energy."

All eyes turned to Bai Shuang.

Bai Shuang: "Since resources are scarce in the apocalypse, these insects are also a kind of resource."

Commander Liu looked at Bai Shuang excitedly, "What do you mean by that?"

"Actually, I and the people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have already studied this. Although these insects are powerful, only a very small number of them are poisonous."

Moreover, it is high in protein and rich in nutrients, so it is actually edible.

It's okay if they don't eat it; it can be used as feed for chickens, ducks, and geese.

Old Lu: "Go on."

“In my greenhouse, the insects have been eaten to extinction by the chickens, and the alfalfa I planted has already sprouted. It won’t be long before it can be eaten as a vegetable.”

However, there are still too few chicks at present.

However, my two senior uncles are currently hatching and breeding their eggs. Before long, we'll have eggs and chicken to eat!

"Once we've hatched enough chicks, we can sell them to the survivors at the base. Anyone who wants to raise them can buy them."

My next step is to collect dried insects, which are excellent feed. With the apocalypse and natural disasters coming one after another, who knows when, there might be an acid rain or something, and those insects will be gone.

It's not surprising that Lu Yu knew about this situation beforehand.

Old Lu and Commander Liu's eyes lit up as they listened, and they decided to start today by having those who were unemployed collect insects.

Before Commander Liu and his troops arrived at the Kyoto base, many officers and soldiers had starved to death due to food shortages.

In extremely hot weather, they can be dried into insects in a day and stored away. They can be used as animal feed or as excellent military rations when there is nothing else to eat.

Suddenly, those disgusting insects were no longer a nuisance, but rather adorable little ones.

Old Lu: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Those old guys at the agricultural research station didn't even give a heads-up, and someone saw them raising chickens on their own.

Bai Shuang: "Then you're wronging them. I used that chicken for their experiment."

Old Lu: "But they have a flock of chicks."

Bai Shuang recalled the 20 fertilized eggs she had given to Pao Pao.

"Those were eggs I hatched for them, and they were raised for research purposes."

We've been busy with research and breeding chickens lately, and haven't had a chance to tell you yet.

Commander Liu was thinking of hurrying back so that his soldiers could go and collect insects if they were alright.

"My dear niece, can you tell me what poisonous insects look like?"

Bai Shuang took out her phone, showed him the photos of the poisonous insects, and explained how to identify them.

"You should have them collect the poisonous insects separately, we'll collect them, they can be used to make medicine."

"Those insects are truly treasures!"

After saying this, Commander Liu clasped his hands in salute and hurriedly left.
