Chapter 370 I Want to Be Depend on Him
"You're quite domineering, yes, yes, of course I'm willing.
I actually felt the earthquake you mentioned. It was only for a few seconds, and the sky was spinning and the earth was shaking.
I was still in a high position at that time, and I was thinking about taking people to jump off the building, but I couldn't stand steadily.
Judging from your description, with such a big earthquake, if you hadn't taken action at that time, we might have all been wiped out.
It doesn’t matter if there is no freedom.
It’s just being managed, which is good too.
Life comes first, just stay alive.
Nowadays, being able to eat enough and being safe without worrying about dying one day are the only two needs of us.
I promise to make them all obedient and resolutely follow the orders of their superiors." Qin Su saluted.
Although this person was in a very optimistic state, He Rui felt inexplicably uncomfortable watching him.
He suddenly realized one thing: his mentality was different from that of everyone here, Qin Su, and even his brother Ji.
Although he felt that the disasters he had experienced so far were a bit scary, deep down in his heart, he did not take them too seriously.
After all, he has his brother by his side.
In addition, he is an outsider, and when he sees all the devastating extreme disasters happening in this world, he always feels a sense of detachment.
So many times, in his eyes, those dangers are more like a disaster movie that is a close call.
He might even have a little regret because he didn't see the tsunami with his own eyes and felt that he missed a very rare sight.
Even though that tsunami actually took away many lives.
He rarely despaired at the world's calamities.
He would sympathize and sigh at the death of others, but he hardly felt the shadow of death hanging over his own head.
There is always an invincible backer and an indestructible backup.
Even if the sky falls, he knows that there will be someone who will not let anything happen to him.
He always has a source of security.
But what about his backup person?
His brother, do you feel safe?
Is there anyone protecting his brother?
Own?
The only time he needed to protect his brother, the result was that he ended up in a miserable state, infected with the virus, and finally watched others take his brother away, leaving him there in shame.
Not to mention protecting his brother, he couldn't even protect himself.
He could get protection from the other party, but his brother Ji was isolated and helpless.
He can't give the other person any sense of security.
If his brother were his girlfriend, he would be an unreliable, incompetent waste who couldn't protect her when things went wrong.
Although Qin Su spoke lightly in his few words, he suddenly empathized with the feeling of being a native of this world, living in the shadow of disaster, death at any time, and living in anxiety.
He Rui was deflated at once, and felt that his petty and jealous behavior was a bit ridiculous.
He seems to have become really childish...
He didn't need to treat Qin Su, who was living seriously, like that. After all, he was his brother's good friend, so he had to be more friendly.
Ji Changqing's low, cold voice answered Qin Su, "I can protect your safety and even provide you with food and water. But to obtain food, you need to exchange it for something of equal value, either through labor or other costs."
Qin Su blinked curiously and asked, "Price? What price?"
He Rui was also curious and turned his head to stare at his brother.
I don't know what his brother is planning.
If they save the supplies they have saved and eat them sparingly, they should be able to eat them for the rest of their lives... Of course, that's not certain, so there's a question mark.
Because he has a big appetite and never saves, basically, he eats whatever his brother gives him.
His brother Ji provided him with plenty of food every day, and he was only responsible for the clean plate campaign.
After becoming an Evolver, his appetite increased, he got hungry quickly, and would actively beg for food. He would rub his belly to signal his brother, who would then immediately give him a snack.
After that, the food provided for three meals a day was obviously much larger than before.
If the number of people doubles, I don’t know how many years those supplies can last.
If we try to save food, and everyone eats until they are 80% full, or 60% full, neither too full nor too hungry, we should be able to keep this up for 30 to 50 years.
But judging from his brother's tone, it seemed that he had never considered the possibility of running out of supplies.
I don’t quite understand.
But on the other hand, he actually has an inexplicable confidence. He personally believes that this disaster should not last too long.
The food problem will definitely be solved within at least the next three to five decades.
After all, this is a problem that touches upon the very foundations of human survival. If it is not solved, the people on the blue planet may really starve to death, leading to species extinction.
Don’t think about anything else, think outside the big picture.
He Ruike hasn't forgotten that this damn place was originally a book, and he, Tietie, was the male protagonist.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how hard you try, the overall environment and background setting of a book will not allow all humans except the protagonist to starve to death in the final ending.
The humans in the background should have a glimmer of hope.
Plus his brother had said it before.
The food problem mainly stems from the fact that the land and plants flooded by the tsunami have all been contaminated, and the current harsh external environment, including radiation, sunlight, temperature, and other conditions, has made it increasingly difficult for plants to survive.
But even though there were many disasters, researchers in related professions were obviously protected by the government before the disasters occurred and placed in various shelters.
Some people have been conducting research since the disaster and have achieved some results. Now there are indeed crops that can be grown and eaten.
Although the output seems to be surprisingly small.
His brother didn't mention this shelter.
But according to his brother, one of the shelters in the earthquake zone they passed by last time was a small piece of land that was no bigger than the living room of 701 Building.
There is a shed and isolation on the roof, and it is equipped with various high-tech devices and instruments. It is cultivated and cared for very delicately and carefully, and there are some crops growing sparsely on the land.
It was about the same size as the living room. He Rui estimated that the place was probably less than half an acre.
One mu of land is 66.667 square meters.
One mu of land is 666 square meters.
Under normal circumstances, if there are no natural disasters and the planting technology is online, the pure grain, rice or wheat produced by that one acre of land is enough for one person to eat for a year.
In the current situation, He Rui estimated that the food grown on the tiny half-acre plot of land in the shelter might not even be enough to feed the whole family.
Even if there are evolvers who can control plant growth and quickly catalyze plant maturity, if the land is not managed scientifically and over-planted in a short period of time, the soil fertility will decrease, which will eventually affect the quality of crop yields. The quality will get worse and worse, and sustainable development will be impossible.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that such a small piece of land was not enough to support a few people, let alone a population of at least several thousand people in a shelter.
Even that exquisite and miniature half-acre of land should have been directly destroyed in the previous earthquake, and all the previous efforts were wasted.
He Rui thought about it and felt that...the road ahead was bleak.
Just as he was thinking about it, He Rui saw his brother Ji suddenly do something big.
