Natural disasters descended abruptly, and the world underwent massive changes. First came extreme heat, then extreme cold, followed by earthquakes, heavy fog, eternal night, and acid rain, all arri...
"The appearance of thick fog, followed by the eternal night and acid rain, makes it unsuitable for people to continue living on the ground.
Not only is it unsafe, it is also difficult to manage.
Building an underground city can solve all these problems."
Listening to Jing Mo's explanation, Su Nian felt it made a lot of sense.
Just looking at the newly decorated bedroom in front of him, Su Nian couldn't help but sigh.
"Is it possible that we can't live in this newly built house for long?"
"It's still possible to live here for a long time. After all, if we want to accommodate the entire base's population, the underground city will be large. The current situation is different from before the apocalypse, so it won't be built that quickly. It may not be completed in a year or two."
Su Nian agreed with this point.
Building a dungeon is not an easy task.
However, Jing Mo said he was going to work. What kind of work?
"You going to dig?"
Hearing Su Nian's question, Jing Mo laughed out loud, "If it's to dig the soil, then I might as well not go."
"That's true."
How many contribution points can you get from digging? It would be better to just stay at home and do nothing with that time.
Before Su Nian could continue to ask, Jing Mo explained, "The underground city should not only provide accommodation for the people in the base, but also ensure safety and have certain attack capabilities. What I am going to do is related to this aspect."
After hearing Jing Mo's explanation, Su Nian finally nodded in understanding, "So that's how it is. Do you want to go there every day?"
"I'm not sure about the details yet. After all, we are still in the preparation stage. We have to wait until all the street lights are installed before we can start construction."
Eat one bite at a time and do things one thing at a time.
Su Nian moved and changed to a comfortable sitting position. "I don't know how to do these. I can't go digging, right?"
She had stored up so many supplies after her rebirth, but she didn't want to dig the soil.
"Of course it's impossible to dig the earth." Jing Mo suppressed a smile, "But besides digging, there are many other types of work. For example, supervision."
Su Nian looked at Jing Mo in surprise. She didn't expect him to say this.
Building the dungeon is the base's job. If you want to be a supervisor in this project, forget it if you have no power or influence.
Since Jing Mo could say this, Su Nian believed that he could definitely get it done.
But after thinking about it carefully, Su Nian still refused.
"There's no need for that. We don't lack contribution points. You're not going there just for contribution points. Our situation is different.
I’ll just stay at home.”
Seeing Su Nian's seriousness and knowing that Su Nian really thought so, Jing Mo did not force it, "Just like we agreed at the beginning, if you don't want to deal too much with the base officials, leave this matter to me.
If you want to stay home, just stay home safely."
The two reached an agreement, so they put the matter aside for the time being and returned to their regular lives.
The base acted quite quickly and started installing street lights three days later.
Su Nian originally thought that street lights were only installed on main roads, but she didn't expect that even the road outside their yard had a street light installed every three meters.
With street lights, people who go out to fetch water every day don’t have to be so frightened.
Although the thick fog had only been there for more than ten days and happened inside the base, many people were concerned about it.
Even though Su Nian and Jing Mo did not go out, they learned some news from Sun Jianming.
During this period, many people were robbed when they went out.
Thick fog is the best cover for those who commit crimes.
They rushed out without any warning, grabbed things and ran away before others could react.
The person who was robbed wanted to chase after the robber, but due to the cover of fog, he had no idea which direction to chase.
Those who reacted quickly did catch up, but unfortunately not only did they fail to get the things back, they were also beaten up.
This kind of thing happens every day in the base.
Even if the security team had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to handle it all.
Therefore, the installation of street lights was carried out overtime day and night.
Not only that, the base also calls on everyone to go out in groups and not alone, so as to avoid many accidents.
But in fact, this cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
Because sometimes, danger comes from the people around you.
After the thick fog lasted for a month, everyone was forced to get used to living in the fog.
Because the street lights have been installed, people go out in groups of three or five, and the number of security personnel has increased a lot. They patrol outside all day long, and robberies have decreased a lot.
But this only ensures a certain level of security.
If people want to survive, not only safety must be guaranteed, but food and drink are more important.
There is no shortage of water for the time being. Although the water supply has not been restored to the water pipes, water can still be pumped out from the pump room.
Having enough water can only ensure that people can survive. If you want to live well, food is even more indispensable.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes have long become the staple food of most people, but eating only them is obviously not enough.
Because of the thick fog, fewer people went out hunting.
There are not many kinds of meat left for sale in the base app’s store.
The few items that are left are in limited supply each day, and the prices are outrageous.
Just when people were about to riot over food issues, another announcement appeared in the base app.
After continuous research by scientists, some new varieties have finally been developed.
The new varieties include wheat, rice, corn and sorghum.
These can all serve as staple foods and can be eaten in many ways. If there is a good harvest, they can meet the daily needs of people in the base.
These new varieties have been grown in test fields and are now ready for planting.
These crops are not like potatoes, sweet potatoes and snowberries. They don’t require much space and can be grown at home.
If you want to grow these crops, you have to plant them in large areas. Otherwise, after taking care of them for several months, the harvest may not be enough to eat for two days.
In order to grow these crops, the base has opened a plantation outside the base and is recruiting workers within the base.
Those who are willing to farm can leave by bus at a unified time every morning and return at a unified time every evening.
The salary is two contribution points per day, settled on a daily basis.
In addition, after the grain is harvested, everyone can get 100 kilograms of grain and choose any variety.
When this announcement came out, many people became excited.
Aren’t they busy all day just to earn contribution points to feed themselves?
Now there is a job in front of them. They can earn contribution points, buy food in the supermarket now, and get a share of the harvested food in the future. How can they not be tempted?
As for the hard work of farming, no one cares at all.
Compared with staying alive, what does hard work matter?
