Chapter 270 Win-win Cooperation
Right now, the only fruits that can be grown in Jiang Zixuan's space are apples, and they are tired of eating them.
Jiang Zixuan took out her computer to watch the video and said, "I can't help it. Some of the seeds I bought before were accidentally flooded and can't be planted."
There was a period of time before when it rained continuously in the space, the warehouse leaked, and many things were flooded.
When Jiang Zixuan took time off from her busy schedule to check the warehouse, the seeds were no longer usable.
When Qiu Ming heard this, he immediately came to show his courtesy.
"There is a tropical rain forest a few hundred kilometers away from the unified base. There are many fruits in it. If you have time, you can go and take a look."
Zhou Xiaolai immediately became interested, "What kind of fruits are there?"
"Banana, mango, lucuma, cashew, sugar cane..."
Qiu Ming talked a lot in one breath, making Zhou Xiaolai drool with envy.
She wiped the corners of her mouth and winked at Jiang Zixuan, "Zixuan, Zixuan, when we're done, shall we go get some fruit together?"
At that time, if you put more seeds in the space, won’t you have an endless supply of fruits to eat in the future?
Jiang Zixuan said embarrassment, "The tropical rain forest is dangerous to begin with. In the apocalypse, animals are infected, and I'm afraid there will be many dangers."
Zhou Xiaolai had no sense of crisis at all. "What are we afraid of? We are all superpowered people, and we have been through all kinds of dangers before."
Jingchen disagreed, "The drought has lasted for so long, I'm afraid all the plants in the rainforest have withered."
Leng Mo rarely interrupted the topic, "No."
The cabin fell into silence.
After a long while, Zhou Xiaolai asked anxiously, "Why not? Can you give me an introduction?"
Leng Mo then realized that the reason everyone remained silent was because they were waiting for his explanation.
"The tropical rainforest has its own ecological cycle system, and droughts of less than half a year will not have much impact on it."
Moreover, unlike humans, plants have well-developed root systems that can absorb water from deep underground, and they will not completely die due to drought in just a few months.
Just like the plants in this forest, some are withered and yellow, while others are still strong.
Under Zhou Xiaolai's strong persuasion, Jiang Zixuan had to agree to go to the tropical rainforest and get more fruits.
However, they can only wander around the edge of the rainforest and must not go deep into the jungle.
Those wild beasts, which were already ferocious, have become unknown after the end of the world. Even if you are a person with special powers, you should not cause trouble for yourself by provoking them.
After a night's rest, the convoy set out before dawn to reach the unified base as soon as possible.
In Jin Mohan's words, the drought would not last long. If it started to rain before they reached the unified base, all the extremely harsh conditions proposed to the World Federation would be invalid.
President Jin said that they could hand over the water source, and the World Federation must also accept the unequal treaty proposed by the Leia Base.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you will never see it again.
With Jin Mohan's insistence, the convoy traveled day and night and arrived at the unified base within a week.
During this period, three off-road vehicles broke down.
As soon as she arrived at the unified base, Jiang Zixuan did not rest, but first filled the water tower that had been prepared earlier at the base with stream water.
All the major bases received news from the World Federation and learned that the water source of the unified base could produce a large amount of water resources through water-type mutants and high-level water-type corpse crystals, so they sent people to ask for water early.
This water is of course not given for free. The unified base will charge reasonable resources for replacement.
These resources were ostensibly intended for the Unified Base, but in reality most of them went into the warehouse of the Leia Base.
The Unified Base gained fame, the Leia Base obtained actual supplies, and the cooperation was a win-win situation.
During that time, the profiteer Mr. Jin maintained a good mood every day that could make a person ten years younger. He also amused Leng Mo and Zhou Xiaolai and lived a fulfilling life.
While filling the stream with water, Jiang Zixuan also learned about the corresponding situation of the unified base.
She had heard that the Unified Base was built earlier than the Leia Base, so in terms of infrastructure and public resources, the Unified Base would not lose to the Leia Base.
The population of the unified base exceeds two million, and the total area of the base is many times larger than that of the Leia base.
However, the elite population of the Leia base makes up the majority, and the number of the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled is small, so not too much social resources will be wasted.
However, the unified base is a national shelter that accepts all people excluded by other bases, and therefore has a heavier social burden.
Here, young and middle-aged people are responsible for fighting, planting and breeding, and factory and industrial development.
Children under the age of 15, in addition to going to school and developing their special abilities, must also do corresponding labor to cultivate good habits of diligence from an early age.
Like other bases, the Unified Base also has forced labor. People with healthy hands and feet work more than ten hours a day and have four days off each month.
The new currency is in the initial experimental use, and there are still more details that need to be fixed.
Although every step is difficult, under the attack of zombie virus and natural disasters, human beings have been divided from the previous large society into small societies. New homes are being built and new life will continue.
For tens of thousands of years throughout history, only human beings have not been defeated by natural disasters and man-made calamities. They have been surviving tenaciously in the cracks and gradually moving to the top of the earth's food chain.
There is a reason why human beings can thrive and reproduce from generation to generation.
After filling the stream with water, Jiang Zixuan, under the guidance of the receptionist, went to the base to arrange accommodation for their group.
The Unified Base was established earlier, when there were no signs of frequent natural disasters, so the materials used in the houses here are not completely earthquake-resistant.
Improper use of building materials resulted in many high-rise buildings in the unified base being damaged in successive earthquakes, and they were later rebuilt into low-rise buildings that took up a lot of land.
At the unified base, there are basically no buildings higher than seven stories high, and the view is quite wide.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Zixuan observed the scenery along the way and got to know the unified base.
Most people here are in a hurry. After all, the daily workload is heavy and there are corresponding tasks to complete, so the more you work, the more you earn.
In the end times, even if we don’t talk about living and working in peace and contentment, as long as we have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, we will be very happy.
Jiang Zixuan was lying by the car window, thinking of Shan Zijun and her family, and turned around to send a text message to Qiu Liren.
The signal tower in the unified base is already under trial operation, and text messages can be sent using mobile phones within the base.
However, it will take some time before we can have free and unimpeded conversations like before the end of the world.
She asked Qiu Liren about the address of Shan Zijun's family. Qiu Liren did not answer immediately. He just asked her to go back to the guesthouse to rest first, and wait for him to finish the task at hand and take her to the Shan family personally.
Jiang Zixuan had no choice but to wait a little longer and go back to the guesthouse to rest first.
In the guesthouse, Zhou Xiaolai and others arrived earlier and were playing mahjong together.
The four of them just happened to sit at one table, and were quite relaxed.
Jiang Zixuan sat down next to Jin Mohan, frowning and complaining, "Are you kidding me? I'm outside taking a shower, it's so hot, but you guys are hiding here having so much fun."
Jin Mohan said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, baby. There is no air conditioning outside. You can go into the space and rest."
