Chapter 96 External Space
Chapter 96
Grandma Sun hit the pain points directly and asked several very important questions.
"First, where does the food in the town you live in come from? Second, can it guarantee the lives of ordinary people? Third, what is the management model of the farm?"
The questions asked by Grandma Sun were all important, the first and most important of which was the issue of eating.
Part of the food in the Magnolia Base comes from the grain stored before the end of the world.
The state had already controlled the official granaries before the apocalypse, and had full control when the apocalypse broke out.
It is also because of these food reserves that so many people in their base can survive in the apocalypse.
And now if they go to a place without knowing the source of food, they will be seeking death.
Wang He can give the best answer to this question. He has worked in the farmland for a day, so he can give a good answer.
"I know. There is a special planting area in the town. There is a lot of land there, and there are at least 80 acres of grain planted there!" Wang He said this with some excitement.
"Also, a batch of rice and corn have matured in the past two days. I heard that the wheat was planted a little late, so it will mature later than these grains."
Grandma Sun and Su Wu were both a little surprised that there was land on the farm and they could use it for farming!
"Xiao He, is what you said true?" Su Wu grabbed Wang He.
Wang He patted Su Wu's back and did not forget to transfer energy to Su Wu to warm him up.
"I worked in the fields all day myself, otherwise I wouldn't have answered so confidently."
Wang He also understood Grandma Sun’s second question very easily. There were three of them: a rookie, a blind man, and an old man half buried in the ground.
It is said that there are two people with superpowers, but in fact there are only two of them in total.
The blind man and the old man count as one!
If the farm only has healthy people or young and middle-aged people, what's the point of them going there?
There are such bases. They used to come from small places in the surrounding areas.
It’s not that they haven’t seen the darkness of the end of the world. Even in the official base, they don’t have a good life.
But even this kind of life is still better than that of other private bases, which shows that other people are living in dire straits.
"Ordinary people on the farm are doing pretty well. All the land inside is hiring. There are only a thousand people in the shelter outside right now. Excluding some awakened people and children, there are only 700 to 800 ordinary people who can't finish the work!"
"The house inside has water, electricity and heating, and you can collect five source crystals a day! And if you work, you can earn at least eighty a day. You will spend thirty on food at most, and you will still have some left." Wang He learned about the life in the small town in detail.
In addition to this, he also inquired about the matters concerning the garrison and gained a general understanding of the management methods on the farm.
I learned from Qian Tianlei that these non-farm formal residents were uniformly managed by the outside guard post.
And they can move to a small town, where they will be managed by the people in the town.
However, no one has been able to enter the town so far, so they don’t know how the town is managed.
But according to Zhou Ying and the others, it is similar to the garrisons outside.
As long as you don't commit any crime, you are free.
As for the farm at the innermost part of their town, that was beyond their imagination. It was full of alien species and mutant beasts.
They actually don't really want to be neighbors with alien species. Although they know that they don't eat humans, they are still afraid.
Wang He told the two of them in detail all the information he knew, and Grandma Sun agreed after listening.
From Wang He’s detailed answers, it can be seen that this town is indeed nice.
Wang He also took out his ID card to show them. Of course, Su Wu couldn't see it, so he could only touch it. It was about the same size as an ID card, but harder.
Also tell them that this ID card not only proves a person's identity, but also serves as a meal card, water card, etc.
It can be said that it is a card with multiple uses, just like a card for the whole town.
After agreeing with the two of them to go to the farm together, Wang He got up and packed his things.
Although they didn't have much, they were not completely without any assets.
At least they still had some uneaten food, and they couldn't just throw it away even though there was food on the farm.
In addition, Wang He began to pick and choose clothes for Su Wu to take with him. Although there were clothing stores in the town now, there were no close-fitting clothes there.
So you still have to bring these things with you, as well as some of the things that Su Wu often uses.
Wang He ran back and forth in the room, packing up Su Wu's things and putting them in his backpack.
He didn't plan to take anything with him except a few pairs of underwear.
It's all garbage, nothing worth taking.
Grandma Sun didn't have much stuff. Although she was bold and capable, she was just an ordinary person after all, and she was also old.
There aren't many things that can be saved in the apocalypse, mostly clothes and food.
After a month of heavy snow blocking the mountains, the food was almost consumed.
If Wang He hadn't gone to the farm to take them away, they might not have been able to hold on for a few more days.
After packing up his things, Wang He took Su Wu to a shabby wooden bed to rest.
They agreed to leave the base at dawn the next day and head to the shelter in the small town.
Grandma Sun took out a piece of hardwood, added firewood to the brazier, and went back to her small bed to rest.
They had already decided to leave, so Grandma Sun added a lot of firewood, instead of just a little bit like before.
Back on the bed, Wang He subconsciously hugged the person in his arms.
He placed his chin on Su Wu's hair and spoke carefully.
"Brother Xiaowu, you can live with me when we get to the town. I've rented a house, but when we get back, we'll move to a lower floor so it's more convenient for you to move around."
Su Wu nestled in Wang He's arms, listening to him mutter.
"Is this too much trouble for you? I can't see, but you still have to take care of me. This is really..."
Before Su Wu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang He.
"Brother Xiaowu, what are you talking about? If it weren't for the biscuits you gave me, there would be no me. Besides, I am willing to take care of you. You eat very little every day and don't like dealing with people. How can it be a problem?" Wang He rubbed Su Wu's head subconsciously.
"And there's a hospital on the farm. I've asked about it. I heard the ophthalmologists there are very professional. There's also an eight-eyed spider. With so many eyes, maybe it can cure you!" Wang He said with hope in his tone.
Su Wu was also a little excited and grabbed Wang He's clothes with his hands.
He had some inexplicable obsession with his eyes. If it weren't for this special ability, he would be able to see what the person in front of him looked like.
He can also help Wang He, and the two of them can work hard together to live, instead of being taken care of by Wang He like now.
He is two years older than Wang He. He has been independent since he was a child and doesn't like being taken care of.
But in the past six months of the last days, he, a blind man, has been forced to be taken care of and pitied.
He was tired of being pitied.
If he really had a choice, he didn't want to be an awakener at all.
But when I think about it, hospital charges nowadays must be very expensive.
At the Magnolia Base, a first-level healing awakener provides a minimum of 500 source crystals for treatment.
And this is just a basic wound. If it hurts an important part or is deep enough to see the bone, it will cost five thousand each time.
The second-level healing system consultation fee is two thousand, and the minimum cost for one treatment is ten thousand.
Moreover, his eyesight was not affected by trauma, but became blind due to a problem with his supernatural powers.
And it’s not that he can’t see, he can see the flow of energy in the plants, but that’s all he can see.
He had thought about asking the healing department to help before, but when they heard that it was a problem with superpowers, they shook their heads and said no.
Wang He knew what Su Wu was thinking without hearing his answer.
"Brother Xiaowu, don't worry. I asked the hospital and the registration fee is not expensive. I heard that an expert consultation fee is only fifty gold coins. I can earn it back in one day!" Wang He comforted.
Su Wu didn't expect that the price of this hospital was almost the same as before the apocalypse. He nodded softly.
This was considered as agreeing to Wang He's previous question, and he began to look forward to whether his eyes could really be saved.
The next morning, Su Wu woke up in Wang He's arms.
They slept like this together after the cold winter came.
Wang He's special ability is fire-related, and his physique is much better than Su Wu's.
Although Su Wu is an awakened person, his physique is similar to that of an ordinary person.
If Wang He had discovered something was wrong first during the extreme cold, Su Wu would have been frozen to death.
After being frightened, Wang He refused to let Su Wu sleep alone.
He forcefully squeezed onto Su Wu's bed and held him in his arms. Su Wu had no choice but to compromise.
But whether there is really nothing that can be done about it, only Su Wu himself knows.
"Brother Xiaowu, come and have dinner. We will leave after you finish eating." Wang He handed the meal to Su Wu.
Su Wu picked up the food and started eating. He knew that he was not in good physical condition and they had a grandmother, Grandma Sun, with them.
So if they don't leave quickly, they may have to sleep in the wilderness at night.
The temperature outside is as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius. Once hypothermia occurs, death will occur in just a dozen minutes.
After dinner, Wang He put on his backpack, took Su Wu and Grandma Sun and set off.
On the farm, Si Shen was still lying in bed, and Nian Cheng Owl was asking for his morning kiss.
Today is the first day of training for the guard team in their farm, and this matter is handed over to Nian Chengxiao.
In the past, the adult owls Mushroom was responsible for guarding the farm. Now the farm is too large, and other people are needed in the town and shelter outside.
This group of guards was introduced by Mu Zhi and others, and most of them were from the same tribe as them.
Just as Mu Zhi expected, her fellow tribesmen all knew different things.
These people are good at hunting and fighting, and they know nothing about medicine!
He couldn't be caught working in the hospital, so he was put in the guard team.
The three hundred people from Tu Tu's family were captured by rats, and their hospital was in dire need of such staff.
With these 300, the pressure on the hospital has been relieved.
Most of the people from the rat family went to the planting area, while a small number of rats joined the guard team.
The current guard team consists of nearly 200 people, divided into four teams, each team has 50 people.
There are two groups every day, one group is responsible for daytime order and the other group is responsible for nighttime situation.
Two groups work in shifts to provide patrol coverage around the clock.
The focus during the day is on the planting and breeding areas, and at night it is the shelter.
The Niancheng Owl had already prepared the schedule yesterday, and today he would take them to familiarize themselves with the town and the shelter area.
The judge was so annoyed that he had no choice but to give her a good morning kiss.
The alien who received the kiss smiled, tucked the corner of the quilt for Si Shen, and left to go to work.
It was three hours later when Si Shen woke up naturally.
Although Sishen no longer has the problem of lack of energy, he still likes to sleep in.
He felt that not sleeping in during the winter was disrespectful to his quilt.
Judge: I really can’t bear to part with my little bed and quilt!
After lying down for a while, Sishen kicked off the quilt and did a sit-up - but didn't get up.
Then he got out of bed obediently, pretended nothing had happened, and went to wash up.
After eating the breakfast that Nian Chengxiao had put in the thermos, Si Shen strolled out to work.
Today he is going to discuss cooperation with Di Luo's brothers and sisters. He now has a lot of raw materials in his hands. In addition to special wires, ordinary wires are also needed.
Otherwise his warehouse will not be able to hold it!
Diluo has eight sisters and four brothers. He had met them before, but after they arrived, they helped Diluo make a space backpack.
Yesterday we said we could get the finished product today, so the judge decided to discuss the cooperation today.
When they arrived at the place, Sishen saw a circle of people gathered in front of Di Luo.
Di Luo's eight sisters are tall, with an average height of 183!
His brother is smaller and looks to be around 175cm tall.
This is consistent with the natural characteristic that female spiders are larger than male spiders. Speaking of this, he remembered Mu Zhi's height of nearly two meters, which really fits the prototype of the giant bird-eating spider.
This spider was thirty centimeters long before the apocalypse. I can’t imagine how big it is now after the mutation.
When the judge thought about it, his hair stood on end and he felt goosebumps all over the floor.
"Mr. Si, you're here. We've made the backpack you wanted. Take a look!"
Di Luo ran over holding a small backpack. He looked very lively and did not show any social anxiety as before.
It seems that under the influence of Wa Wa, Di Luo has also gotten out of the scope of social phobia.
However, Sishen had not seen Wa Wa these past few days and didn't know where he had gone. If it weren't for the fact that a doll appeared or disappeared from the room from time to time, he would not have noticed that Wa Wa had been there.
The judge looked around and didn't find Frog here with Di Luo. He didn't know where he was.
But none of this matters. What matters is the backpack in front of us, which is another flagship product of their farm!
Si Shen took the light blue backpack and knew it was not simple as soon as he got it in his hand.
First of all, the weight, it felt like a napkin!
The second thing is the texture of this backpack. It feels very delicate, which is incomparable to the high-end custom-made items in Chengxiao’s wardrobe in the past.
Please forgive his short-sightedness, he really can't find any similar comparison!
The last and most important point is the size of the space inside.
Si Shen wanted to find out for himself, and as soon as he opened his backpack, a pop-up popped up on the system.
[Is the system backpack connected to the 50 cubic meter external space?]
Very good, he doesn’t have to test it himself, this backpack can hold fifty cubic meters!
