Chapter 110
With the end of the wedding, both Zhoujiawu and the major bases began a relatively stable period of development.
The South China base closest to Zhoujiawu turned a disaster into a blessing. Not only did it successfully connect Wulian City and the original base, bringing that large area into the human range, but its population is about to exceed two million, achieving positive population growth.
Compared to those countries that have been destroyed or are still in the stage of zombie occupation, the development of Flower Country is simply a miracle!
During this period, Mr. Feng and his friends were in such good mood that they looked several years younger.
If this trend continues, the zombies in Huaguo will be completely wiped out in about three years. By that time, the seven major bases will be merged again, and Huaguo will still be Huaguo. We can even consider the grand goal of making the world Huaguo.
After learning that Lin Luo would go out to kill zombies every three days, the base thoughtfully prepared a dedicated helicopter and a pilot, Comrade Yao Haichao, for her exclusive use.
Zhoujiawu has reserved a piece of land specifically for parking helicopters to facilitate Lin Luo's travel. Even Yao Haichao has a temporary room of his own where he can occasionally stay for a few nights.
This is a win-win situation. First of all, it greatly reduces the time spent on the road, and it also saves Lin Luo's energy. After all, driving for a long time will make you tired.
Secondly, the efficiency of killing zombies has been improved. Lin Luo does not even need to get off the plane. Zombies fall down in groups wherever she passes. As long as she is given enough time, all the zombies and those failed mutant beasts and mutant plants will be eliminated in no time.
So now Lin Luo basically leaves in the morning and comes back in the evening of the next day. He rests for three days and works for two days. His life is more regular than that of an office worker.
At the same time, she will also bring back thank-you gifts from various major bases. Not only the capital and South China bases, Lin Luo has already visited the other five bases. The zombies around the bases are the key targets to be solved. Only by ensuring the safety of the bases can they develop faster.
Lin Luo is warmly welcomed wherever he goes, comparable to the top stars before the apocalypse.
"Why, why is there so much hot sauce?"
Watching Lin Luo unload three boxes of red canned peppers from the helicopter, each box containing twenty-four bottles, Zhou Guangzong couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Lin Luo was also a little helpless about this. When she went to other bases, her meals would definitely be taken care of. For example, this time she went to the Southwest Base. After learning about Lin Luo's taste, they specially prepared a table of delicious food, one of which was topped with their unique chili sauce.
Rich and spicy just right.
Lin Luo, who had an average tolerance to spicy food, couldn't help but eat a few more bites.
So, when she left, there were three more boxes of chili sauce.
The person in charge of the other party also enthusiastically said that if they liked it, they could take more. Compared with the "benefits" that Lin Luo brought them, a few dozen bottles of chili sauce were really nothing.
Of course, in addition to chili sauce, there are also various meats, vegetables, etc. If the helicopter was full, they could have crammed more in. Lin Luo, who got off the plane, always felt that he smelled like vegetables.
"Sister Luo, you really look like you're going to the city to buy some goods."
Zhou Mengjie, who is already fourteen years old, has become a graceful young girl. Maybe it's because of her water-based abilities, but she looks particularly fresh and lively, especially her watery eyes that seem to be able to speak and are now filled with smiles.
She laughed and joked with Lin Luo, not at all afraid of her because of her strong strength.
"Wait? There's no chili left? It's your portion."
Lin Luo also felt a certain closeness to this little girl who he had almost watched grow up, which was something that Wu Yan and Wu Hao could not compare to later.
But this is normal. Three children of similar age never quarrel because of this and always play together happily.
"No."
Zhou Mengjie started to act coquettishly around Lin Luo, "Sister Luo, I was wrong, I really want to try it!"
Lan Yueyin and others on the side looked at this scene with amusement. Zhou Guangzong even asked about Lin Luo's trip this time. Although the answers were all the same, he still had to ask.
In addition to these, Lin Luo also brought back some vegetable and fruit seeds that are unique to the Southwest Base.
With the presence of wood-type mutants, the restrictions on soil moisture and temperature have been infinitely reduced. Many things that could not be grown before due to geographical factors can now be grown. This can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Putting the things into different warehouses, seeing that there was a lot of food inside, Lin Luo couldn't help but look at Yun Shu who had been following him silently.
"Yunshu, didn't you eat well at home?"
"Five meals a day isn't enough? Should we add a few more?"
Yun Shu: “…”
"Lolo, you brought back too many things."
Lin Luo had long since refused the one-third of the land given to her by other people in Zhoujiawu. She only planted some fruits on her own two acres of land. She also killed a batch of chickens, rabbits, wild boars, etc. from Xiaowu Mountain every now and then, and dried and pickled the leftovers.
For example, the top floor of this house is now full of various pickled meats, which is out of tune with the style of the whole house and looks a bit funny.
However, it still can't keep up with the growth rate!
Even Xiao Hei doesn't seem interested in rabbit meat now. It would be better to give him an apple to chew on.
Lin Luo thought about what the village chief had just said about building two more warehouses, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. How could this be?
"Lolo." As if seeing Lin Luo's confusion, Yun Shu, as the "housekeeper," kindly gave an answer. "The two of us plus Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai can consume 1 piece of food a day, but the extra food every day is about 1.5-2 pieces. Over time, that's how it is."
In addition, Lin Luo had eaten out for two days out of the past five days, so the supplies were consumed even more slowly. Yun Shu did have a big appetite, but there was a limit to how big it could be.
Obviously, he really couldn't eat anymore!
Lin Luo never put much effort into deliberately collecting supplies. Even before the apocalypse, most people who had the opportunity to be reborn would definitely spend all their money to collect all kinds of supplies. How could one basement be enough? Of course, the more the better.
Lin Luo seems to be a bit "Buddhist" about this. She will buy food and daily necessities, but she won't go crazy.
But the supplies seemed to have recognized her and were rushing towards her, and she couldn't stop them!
Especially as time goes on, the food increases faster and faster, which makes people like Lin Luo who don't waste food a little worried.
Some things like rice cannot be kept for long, and there is more than enough food for other people in Zhoujiawu, so giving them food is just like saving their lives.
As for the base, this amount of food is not enough. It’s like there is nothing to eat after giving it to them. Lin Luo is still worried about how to refuse the supplies they are forcing on him next time.
But if there is really no way to give it to the base in the end, it is better than wasting it. At worst, you can just put it down and run away. You can't chase you.
"Yunshu, is there any way to avoid wasting these things?"
Yun Shu, who understood Lin Luo's character, also began to think.
——How to solve the problem of food surplus?
If these two people put this problem outside, they would definitely be met with roll of eyes. Although the major bases are not starving to death at the moment, the amount of food is just right. Who wouldn't want to experience Lin Luo's "trouble"?
"Lolo, do you want to raise some mutant beasts?"
Yunshu grew up in the mountains and naturally came into contact with wild beasts the most.
Now, all around Zhoujiawu are mutated plants that have been subdued by Lin Luo, and they are diligently protecting this small village. Except for the time when the zombies surrounded the village and had a feast, these plants are basically in a state of hunger. However, plants are different from animals, and they can still absorb nutrients from the soil.
Mutated animals really have a hard life.
Not to mention those that failed, several nearby hills were cleared out by Lin Luoqing, but there were still many mutant beasts that successfully mutated.
They have developed a certain amount of wisdom and know that Lin Luo is not easy to mess with, so they generally won't approach here. Food can only be obtained by fighting each other. Every time they forage for food, they risk their lives. It is much more difficult than before the end of the world, and their lives are very hard.
For example, before the end of the world, it might not be difficult for wolves to catch rabbits, but now rabbits may have evolved special abilities that can defeat wolves. In this way, the food chain can be said to be completely messed up.
"What's the point of raising them?"
Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are her own children. It’s okay if they don’t work, but why does she raise some mutant animals?
We don't need them to protect Zhoujiawu.
Since Yun Shu proposed this idea, he must have considered it seriously. He would not be so "kind" as to raise mutant beasts for nothing. Take Xiao Hei as an example. Its appetite is about four times that of an ordinary adult. Raising two or three mutant beasts is equivalent to raising more than a dozen people. It must be "value for money."
Yunshu began to give examples.
“Let them till the land.”
The land in Zhoujiawu is getting more and more every day. After repeated purification, the land like the original one is basically the same as the unpolluted land before the end of the world. Ordinary people can also eat the food grown in these lands.
But there are still only a few people in Zhoujiawu. Apart from children and the elderly, there are not many people able to work.
It can still be maintained for now. When there is more land, Zhou Guangzong has already considered using mechanical equipment.
However, this also has its disadvantages. First, the machine is large and difficult to control. The land in Zhoujiawu is relatively scattered and it is not a large plain. Moreover, it consumes fuel. Zhoujiawu cannot produce this thing, and we can't always rely on Lin Luo's face to ask the base for it.
If you raise a few mutant beasts, with their physical strength and intelligence, it is not difficult to plow the fields.
It’s definitely better than a cow.
“The environment of the manor can also be left to them to maintain.”
Yun Shu then went on to say the second point. The Zhoujiawu manor was very large, and a thorough cleaning during the New Year took everyone several days. In normal times, they had to clean up weeds, fallen leaves, etc. regularly, which could be left to the mutant animals.
——It seems pretty good.
After hearing only two points, Lin Luo was somewhat moved.
What's the most valuable thing these days? Labor, of course!
However, there are too many issues involved in finding people, but there is no such worry for mutant beasts. With Lin Luo's ability, he can definitely make them obedient.
Yun Shu continued, "We can also use them to generate electricity."
Just like a hamster generating electricity by running in circles, Yun Shu can definitely make a power generation device and let the mutant beast run for one or two hours every day. Maybe the electricity generated is not much, but it is better than nothing.
If Zhoujiawu had more electricity, they could build a cold storage, store more supplies, raise more mutant beasts, farm, and generate electricity...
Wait, something seems wrong? Wasn't the intention to consume food in the first place?
Lin Luo gave up thinking and called out to Xiao Hei who was resting nearby.
"Xiao Hei, come on, let's go catch your little brother!"
Little Black tilted his head: "Ah?"
The author has something to say: Mutant Beast: "Is it easy for me who stutters? QAQ"
