Chapter 200 Land, Meaning Hope

Seeing the panic among the people, Zhang Qiang spoke up, "I believe in the captain. She must have her reasons for doing this. She wouldn't lead us out to our deaths."

Tao Lina chimed in, "My daughter follows the team leader every day. If she says there's no problem, then there's no problem. My daughter can't possibly betray us, can she?"

Some people countered, "But looking at the current situation, something just doesn't seem right. Tell me, what are you doing on this barren mountain before the acid rain? When the acid rain comes, it'll pour down on you, and you won't even know how you died."

“That’s right, that’s right. I didn’t agree to leave the seed base at this time, but my family insisted on coming with us. Now what can we do? We can’t even go back. We’re at their mercy.”

"I'm so scared, are we going to die out here like this?"

The apocalypse is terrifying in itself, and seeing the desolation and zombies outside intensifies their fear, making them unable to help but worry.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more panicked, Zhou Wen stopped keeping them in suspense and reassured them, "Listen to me, the captain's spatial ability is very powerful. She can let us live in her space, so you are safe and won't die."

The crowd looked at him with suspicion, still not believing him.

"If you can live in space, why bother coming all this way to this desolate wilderness?"

"That doesn't make sense. I've heard that the space of spatial ability users is static. Living things that go in are frozen in time. How could they possibly survive? You're lying."

"What exactly happened? Stop keeping us in suspense, this is a matter of life and death."

While they were questioning and making a ruckus, the convoy had already reached the top of the mountain and stopped.

The arguing stopped abruptly as everyone watched to see what Meng Shiwan was planning to do.

Meng Shiwan got out of the RV and stood at the end of the road, looking around at her surroundings.

The mountaintop was bare and barren.

Several mountains are clustered together nearby, forming a series of ravines.

Several team members got out of the car and looked around. They could see the urban areas of Haicheng and Shuicheng.

Tao Yarong laughed and said, "Sister, this place is great, it's high enough and has a wide view."

Rezhe nodded. "The farm is perched on a mountaintop, with a road leading down the mountain next to it. It's perfect."

Meng Shiwan also thinks so.

The farm is released by folding it above the real space, and is not affected by the terrain.

Even if the farm's area exceeds the area of ​​the mountaintop, it doesn't matter; the farm space will float in mid-air, just like it did before when it floated above the sea.

No matter what the surrounding environment or terrain is, it will not affect the situation inside the farm.

Having planned all this, Meng Shiwan released the farm, its edges aligned with the highway, then covering the mountaintop, extending beyond the mountaintop, and finally settling on another mountaintop nearby.

In that instant, it was as if something had shaved off the two mountain peaks, and then a dark brown farmland suddenly appeared, like a board placed on top of the two peaks.

On this suddenly appearing farm, there are two shimmering bodies of water on the left and right sides, and they are not small in size.

There are several enormous ships on the water.

The middle part is all dark brown land, with a colorful farmland in the very center, and in the middle of the farmland stands a majestic and imposing castle.

They only need to walk forward from where they are now, across the vast black earth, to reach the castle in the middle.

The team members were all taken aback when they saw this.

Qiu Zhiyi exclaimed with delight, "Sister, the farm has gotten even bigger!"

They first saw that the farm was only about ten square meters, then it grew to a hundred acres, and now, judging by the area, it must be a thousand acres.

A thousand acres of fertile black soil suitable for planting—what a precious thing!

The people on the bus were stunned. They rubbed their eyes repeatedly, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"What happened? How did the barren hilltop suddenly turn into a farm? And it's black, and it looks damp, unlike the dry, cracked land we've been on all along."

"Look, is that field in the middle a crop? Oh my god, am I dreaming? Is this some kind of illusion?"

"This, this can't be our new base, can it? No way, no way, I must be dreaming."

Even Zhou Wen, standing on the car, was dumbfounded. "How did the farm get so big? It wasn't this big before! How many crops can it grow?"

Shocked, utterly shocked.

For people who have grown up in a scientific society, this sudden scene completely overturned their worldview.

It's incredible, even now that there are people with superpowers, it's still incredible.

Zhang Qiang was the first to react. Without saying a word, he grabbed the edge of the carriage and jumped down.

The vehicle was too high, but he wasn't afraid. He jumped down and rolled around on the ground a few times.

As soon as Zhang Qiang left the temperature-controlled carriage and touched the ground, he was immediately drenched in sweat by the heat.

He didn't care about any of that. He got up from the ground and staggered towards the black soil.

As he crashed into the damp, black earth, creating a soft crater, he lay on the ground, breathing in the decaying scent of the soil.

With his only remaining hand, Zhang Qiang repeatedly gripped and released the soil on the ground, until finally he let out an excited laugh.

"It's soil, moist soil, not an illusion, not a dream. This farm is real, it's the land, the land that nourishes all things."

He laughed and laughed, then buried his face in the soil and wept bitterly.

These past two or three months have been filled with too much: families broken apart, people killed, the country devastated, and we've been teetering on the brink of life and death with no end in sight.

These days, a piece of land that can be cultivated can make people lose their minds with excitement.

Having soil means that things can be planted and can survive.

When everyone saw Zhang Qiang rolling around in the black soil, they couldn't contain themselves any longer. They all got out of the car, rushed into the farm, and squatted down to dig at the soil.

"It's moist, you can grow crops, you can grow crops."

"That's great! With this farm, there's hope, there's hope for everything."

"It's so cool in the farm, why is that?"

They lay prostrate on the ground, as if they had seen a priceless treasure, laughing and crying, overwhelmed with emotion.

Land is hope.

They didn't even have time to dwell on how the farm ended up there; they were completely immersed in the joy of regaining their land.

As Tao Yarong watched this scene, seeing her mother, sister, and the more than 700 people who had come with her, crowding around the farm, holding soil in their hands and reluctant to let go, her nose and throat felt sore.

I can't quite describe my emotions; they're very complex.

She felt a mix of emotions: relief, sadness, despair, hope, and excitement. In the end, all she said was, "It's so good."

That's good, there's still a farm, there's still hope.

Even the usually carefree Lei Zhe sighed, "Yes, it's really good. It's so good to have land to farm."
