Jiang Wan dug up four yew trees, lost a gold coin debt, and still had 1500 gold coins left over.
At the same time, the tree hole space also gifted her dozens of tree sap grains. It seems that yew trees are indeed rare, precious and valuable, as can be seen from the number of tree sap grains that the tree hole space generously provided this time.
With the tree sap in hand, Jiang Wan did not hesitate. After diluting the sap, he poured large amounts of it onto the roots of the planted trees in the forest.
The bamboo planted is mainly of the varieties required by Longcheng, such as arrow bamboo with missing buds and cold arrow bamboo.
They guessed that in the near future, Longcheng would come to collect this bamboo again.
If the mission is not completed, there will likely be a large number of zombies as punishment.
At the same time, Cheng Zhen and his group seized the opportunity, mainly using earth-type ability users, to capture the arsenal in Zhusha City. Only by capturing the arsenal could they control the weapons and logistics resources.
When everything finally settled down, Zhang Hao was completely dumbfounded.
He clearly changed the entrance, so how did that bastard Cheng Zhen get in?
However, the deed is done, and the military factory has indeed fallen into their hands. No matter how capable Zhang Hao is or how powerful his army is, he is no match for Cheng Zhen and his fellow superhumans.
Cheng Zhen wanted to negotiate, so he had no choice but to comply.
"The arsenal is mine, you provide the manpower, and we'll split the weapons and ammunition production 30/70, you get 30% and I get 70%."
This is a completely unequal treaty!
But what could Zhang Hao do? He had no choice but to sign.
They had to swallow their pride and ask Cheng Zhen for supplies: "Our city's supplies really won't last much longer. You know, people need food to survive. If we don't have enough to eat, we can't produce these weapons and ammunition!"
Cheng Zhen coldly replied, "Don't you have Omega? Don't you have a lot of grain seeds? Then why don't you grow grain? The existing supplies in your city's granaries should be more than enough to support the grain until it grows."
He said "should," but he was actually 100% certain, because he had already checked and found that Zhusha City still had more than half of its granaries left. If they were frugal and worked hard, they could weather the crisis.
Zhang Hao's face scrunched up like a bitter gourd: "Where in our city do we find so much arable land? Even if we had grain seeds, there'd be nowhere to plant them."
"That's your own business. There's plenty of land outside the city."
After resolving the matter at the arsenal, Cheng Zhen returned to Longxiang City.
Jiangwan's bamboo forest transformation is almost complete. Most of the weeds on the mountain have been cleared and planted with bamboo. The open space at the foot of the mountain has been reclaimed for farming.
Cheng Zhen also led a team to exterminate the mutated plants and fenced off a large open space in the wild, which was also used to grow food.
Regardless of what Longcheng thinks, from now on they must become self-sufficient.
Jiang Wan was somewhat worried: "I don't have many grain seeds on hand."
She had collected seeds from two grain depots before, but there weren't enough seeds to fill all the empty land.
Hearing her worries, Cheng Zhen patted her head and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, just wait, the seeds will come to you sooner or later."
Jiang Wan was skeptical, but seeing his confident demeanor, she had no choice but to suppress her doubts and earnestly cultivate the wasteland and transplant bamboo groves.
Despite the high temperatures, the bamboo grove, irrigated by her diluted sap from the tree hollows, did not wither and grew very well.
With proper care, he believes that the bamboo yield will be quite considerable in two or three years.
But before that, they must withstand the pressure from Longcheng.
All the changes at Longxiangcheng Forest Farm were observed by Zhang Hao's informants, who then reported them to him.
Zhang Hao felt a mix of envy and a burning desire, and once again became certain that they had reserves in hand. Otherwise, what would they use to build the bamboo forest?
On this day, Jiang Wan planted potatoes in an open field. This was currently the most abundant plant she had.
It is also easy to grow, not picky about the planting environment, and once it grows, it is relatively easy to make people feel full.
It is one of the ideal resources in an oxygen-deficient apocalypse.
Cheng Zhen led a team of valiant city guards to continue eradicating mutated plants in the wild. They needed to open a passage to fetch water from the river on the other side of the forest.
It's too hot. These plants won't survive without water, and relying solely on the well water won't do either.
As more water is drawn, the number of fish-shaped zombies emerging from the well also gradually increases.
Jiang Wan had just finished planting a batch and was about to stand up to rest when she heard someone calling her from behind.
This time it's not Jiang Ling, it's Grandpa Jiang.
Jiang Wan was thoroughly annoyed by them, thinking that if she had Cheng Zhen's teleportation ability, she could leave immediately. She didn't want to see this old man at all; he was selfish and self-serving, and they were not on the same wavelength.
But clearly, she doesn't possess that ability now, and she can't leave. Grandpa Jiang blocked her path, adopting the demeanor of an elder, and said:
"Do you have any of those growth-enhancing agents? Give me a few doses quickly. I'm also in charge of growing crops now, so you need to help me out."
Jiang Wan remained expressionless and retorted directly, "On what grounds?"
"Just because I'm your grandfather, don't you understand the importance of respecting the elderly and caring for the young? Your surname is Jiang, so your things should belong to the Jiang family. I'm only asking you to take out a little bit, which isn't excessive."
Jiang Wan was too lazy to even laugh in anger. She had never seen such a shameless person before.
That makes sense. In an apocalyptic world lacking oxygen, what does face matter, and what does substance matter?
The most important thing is to stay alive!
If that's the case, why would she still help him?
So they simply ignored him and went around him back to the city.
Cheng Zhen had arranged for people to protect Jiang Wan's safety, so he immediately dragged the old man away and even threatened him: "Don't bother us anymore, or I'll throw you into that forest, you believe me?"
When Grandpa Jiang looked back, he saw monsters all over the mountains and fields. His blood pressure soared in fright. Watching this ungrateful wretch walk further and further away, he was even more furious and felt he had lost face.
If he can't even handle this simple matter, how can he gain a foothold in front of the city lord?
Lord Zhang thinks highly of him, which is why he gave him this task—to be in charge of growing the city's food supply. He can't afford to mess this up!
Jiang Wan was unaware of his thoughts. She only told Cheng Zhen about it later that evening and then analyzed, "We can't hide our things from the eyes and ears of Zhu Sha City. You have to be careful. I'm worried they might come and steal them."
After all, it's just a wall separating them, and the wall was built by them in the city of Zhusha. If the people inside want to get out, there are plenty of ways.
Cheng Zhen nodded: "I know, I was just afraid they wouldn't come."
It turns out he had already laid a trap, just waiting for the people of Zhusha City to fall into it.
