After the earthquake, Nanxiangwan began large-scale planting of vegetables and grains.
The soil was brought out from space; publicly, they only claimed to have developed a drug that could clear soil viruses.
At this point, the ordinary people at the base came in handy. Everyone who signed up received 20 points a day, which was equivalent to the cost of four meals.
Of course, those with superpowers aren't entitled to anything; there has to be a chance for others to get a taste of the benefits.
That evening, Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu visited the greenhouse.
The sight of the vegetables just sprouting new buds is very pleasing.
Upon seeing the base commander and his wife arrive, the person in charge of this area immediately went over and said, "Mr. Zhan, Mrs. Zhan, what brings you here?"
When Nan Xiangwan saw Zhao Wenguo approaching, he said, "Uncle Zhao, we just came to take a look. After all, the soil has been damaged since the apocalypse, and we wouldn't feel at ease if we didn't come and see for ourselves. But now it seems we've succeeded, and we'll never have to worry about not having vegetables and food again."
As a former director of the grain bureau, Zhao Wenguo was very happy that new vegetables and grains could now be grown. If it weren't for his son's awakening of superpowers, he, a middle-aged man, would probably have his head chopped off along with the zombie army right now.
"Sir, the first batch of vegetables can be delivered to the canteen in a little over a month, but the grain may take several months."
"Don't worry, once this batch is harvested, I'll have someone try to build a few more greenhouses. You also need to pay attention to pest control, and remember to save seeds for the harvested grains and vegetables. Otherwise, we'll be doomed if we run out of seeds. We don't have many seeds left, so now we can only hope that the grains and vegetables in these greenhouses will be of good quality."
"Madam, I have noted down everything you said. Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
"Water supply: Have the water-type ability users provide more water every day, one point for each bucket. Then go and inform them. Also, make sure two people stay on duty in each shed at night. This is humanity's hope, so we can't afford any mistakes."
“Okay, I’ll have someone with superpowers take the night shift. They’ll give you 5 points for each night. Is that alright? After all, if something really happens to us ordinary people, we can’t run as fast as someone with superpowers.”
Nan Xiangwan thought about it for a moment and felt that it was indeed more reliable to have people with superpowers on night watch. He then said, "Okay, let's find more people. Let's have three people in each shed during the shift from 8 pm to 6 am. That way, they can take turns resting."
"Oh, I've got that."
"Alright, that's all. You can go ahead and do your work. Just let us know if you need anything."
"yes."
After Zhao Wenguo left, the two checked everything and, finding no problems, went back.
"Zhan, we received word that the National Security agents are going to a county in the north to pick up construction materials. Do you think we should go and try to snag some leftovers?"
Zhan Siyu put down the documents in his hand and said thoughtfully, "Da Long, is the information accurate?"
“Accurate. A friend of mine from Guoan told me this. He also said that he would come and join us after this is over. He doesn’t want to stay in Guoan any longer, so I don’t think the information is wrong.”
"Okay, let me think about it."
"Okay, I'll go out first."
After Long Yehua left, Nan Xiangwan came out and said, "I remember that in my previous life, the National Security Bureau did indeed acquire a batch of construction materials. If I'm not mistaken, this news should be true. However, I think there's still a bit of a trap. After all, such important information cannot be easily leaked. I think it's the National Security Bureau's doing, trying to find some people to be cannon fodder."
Do you know why I said I need to think about it?
"Huh? What does it have to do with anything?"
"Heh, it's very important. In my past life, I was a member of the National Security Bureau, and I was the one who led the team to bring this batch of supplies back. But do you know that place gave me a near-death experience back then?"
Nan Xiangwan hadn't expected this to be related to her man. "So what are you thinking now? And what exactly happened over there?"
Zhan Siyu hugged his wife and said in a muffled voice, "There's a cave over there, full of mutated creatures and rats. Even heavy weapons can't kill them. There are so many, more than you can imagine. In my past life, because of inadequate intelligence, many superhumans were lost. If I hadn't been so powerful back then, I probably would have been reduced to ashes long ago."
The main issue is that there are two clearly tier 4 zombies: one is a mental zombie capable of controlling other zombies to attack humans, and the other is an ice-type zombie. There is concrete information about both of these zombies.
"Now that you mention it, it's best if we don't get involved this time. It's obvious that the people from the National Security Bureau have ill intentions."
"No, we're going, but we'll take a few people and sneak off. Once all the other groups are wiped out, we'll reap the benefits."
Nan Xiangwan looked at the man beside her and said with amusement, "Is it really okay for us to have so many of us?"
"Don't worry, we'll just arrange another team on the surface, but it's just for show. We can just watch the show when it happens."
"Alright, since you've put it that way, then it's settled."
"Yes, I'll arrange for people to come in later. There are indeed a lot of building materials over there. When we come back from this trip, we can expand the perimeter of the base by a large area, and then there will be more places to grow food."
That evening, Zhan Siyu convened an emergency meeting.
The personnel for this trip were then decided.
He and Nan Xiangwan went out secretly, while Xiao Jing led the team on the surface. Xiao Jing had his own team before, so the personnel were readily available. The rest of the people were building and guarding the base.
Even Nan Haochen was left at home. After all, it's always good to keep some supplies at home and guard the house. Although there are a few space ability users in the base, it's always more reliable and safer to have your own people.
Early the next morning.
Xiao Jing then led a team to the county town. This time, he openly brought a total of 30 people, each equipped with firearms and grenades.
While securing supplies was one aspect, the main priority was to find other seeds and coal for the winter along the way.
On the night they set off, Nan Xiangwan took out her beloved little motorcycle, and the couple chased after it under the cover of night.
When I'm tired, I go to the internet cafe; when I'm rested, I ride my motorcycle to get going.
Along the way, the two visited every undamaged shop they encountered. Now that the base's population was increasing, the number of people exchanging items was also gradually increasing. Everything useful and usable was put into their spatial storage.
Looking at the empty houses along the roadside, it felt like bandits had swept through, leaving not a single hair behind.
When the two caught up with the others and arrived in Feng County, the National Security personnel had already begun their journey to their destination.
Seeing that his brothers had finally caught up, Xiao Jing asked anxiously, "They've already set off. When do we make our move?"
