Chapter 211 Private Base
The main crops studied in major cities are still sweet potatoes and potatoes, but there is one more crop in the north, which is corn.
For example, Xinggang City, which is close to the sea, grows a kind of cold-resistant potato with a short maturity period. It can be harvested in 2 months. The potatoes are very large and the yield is high. But the disadvantage is that it contains a high amount of solanine. Even after high-temperature boiling, some will remain. You can't eat too much, otherwise you will be poisoned.
Shahaicheng has developed a high-yield cold-resistant sweet potato that can produce 10,000 kilograms per mu of land. But the disadvantages are that the sweet potato vines are as old as tree bark, the leaves are rough and have many veins, and the sweet potato skin is also very thick. The thinnest sweet potato skin can be one centimeter thick. In addition, the ripening period is also long, taking 4 months to mature.
However, sweet potatoes can be eaten even if they are not ripe, they will just be smaller in size.
Snow Valley City in the north also grows a high-yield cold-resistant sweet potato, with one acre of land producing more than 8,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes. But the taste is extremely bad, not only is it not sweet, but it also has a bitter taste, just like chewing on a raw sweet potato vine. If there is no other food, I believe no one would eat this kind of sweet potato.
The Fog City doesn't grow sweet potatoes or potatoes, but they grow a kind of corn with a very high starch content, which can produce about 3,000 kilograms per acre.
In addition to corn, they also intercropped some soybeans. With the yield of soybeans, one mu of land can produce more than 4,000 kilograms of grain.
Combining the crops collected from various cities, Fucheng plans to plant a batch of thick-skinned sweet potatoes from Shahai City, and intercrop corn and soybeans from Wudu, making the most of the land area.
But even so, the food produced was still not enough to eat, so they planned to expand the air-raid shelter and build more air-raid shelters to grow food.
Most of the air raid shelters were built on the mountains, far from the crowds, so there were not many people. So the officials just used explosive packs to blow up a big hole, and then slowly dug it out manually.
Xia Xiaoman heard the rumbling explosion at home and thought something had happened. He climbed up to the roof and looked through the telescope. He found that it was the government officials who were blasting the mountain, so he didn't pay any more attention to it.
Officials frequently went out to expand the air-raid shelters and explore the locations for building underground cities. When the so-called gangs saw the military vehicles coming and going on the streets, they temporarily restrained themselves and no longer dared to rob and kill people openly.
Xia Xiaoman was happy about this. As long as no one came out to rob her, she wouldn't have to worry about being disturbed.
Some time ago, a family living in the same villa area was murdered in the middle of the night. The five members of the family died tragically. She could hear the horrific screams even from home. Maodan was so excited that she walked back and forth in the house, worried that someone would break into the house.
Fortunately, it was patrol time in their area at that time. The gang members who robbed the supplies had no chance to escape and were killed on the spot by the patrolling soldiers.
"Awoo~Awoo!" Maodan suddenly spat out the Steel-Tooth Rabbit in his mouth, howled at Xia Xiaoman, turned around and ran to the second floor to open the balcony door.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman picked up his coat and chased after him, then quietly opened the wooden door of the balcony.
She looked around and didn't see any suspicious people. She looked down at Maodan and saw that Maodan was staring in one direction with a wary look.
Xia Xiaoman followed its line of sight and found a light in the distance, which was slowly approaching, as if someone was driving a snowmobile towards them.
After waiting for five or six minutes, a snowmobile slowly appeared. There seemed to be a loudspeaker on the snowmobile, but the distance was too far for Xia Xiaoman to hear clearly what the loudspeaker was playing.
After waiting for a few more minutes, the snowmobile approached the villa area, and Xia Xiaoman could finally hear clearly what was being said on the loudspeaker.
'Good news! Good news! A Ruihua base has been established in Longquan Forest Park in Lingxiu District. The Ruihua base is privately owned and not under official control! '
'From now on, if you join the Ruihua base within 7 days, you can get a single dormitory for free. The dormitory is equipped with a kang fireplace, first come first served! '
'If you want to join the Ruihua Base, please go to the entrance of Longquan Forest Park in Lingxiu District to register. You don't need to pay any fees. You can check in directly after receiving your bag! '
The snowmobile moved slowly, and the announcements on the loudspeaker were repeated over and over again.
Xia Xiaoman was a little surprised that someone could build a private base in such an extremely harsh environment. There are really many capable people in this world!
Judging from what was announced on the loudspeaker, the treatment at the private base is pretty good.
However, Xia Xiaoman never believed that pie would fall from the sky. Even if pie really fell from the sky, it would be a pie that would crack your teeth.
Is it possible to live in a single dormitory with a kang and a fireplace for free without paying any fees? If you think about it, you will know that there is a problem.
…
The news of the private base spread in a short time, and almost everyone in the sewer was discussing the private base.
Some people who can't stand the sewer environment have begun packing up and preparing to move to private bases.
The authorities did not stop the citizens from moving to the private base. Good words cannot persuade the damned. Knowing that such a good thing would not happen in the world, they still excitedly ran to the private base. For such people who are seeking their own death, the authorities are too lazy to continue to care.
In the past, the authorities would have stopped them, but now they are busy building underground cities, farming, maintaining law and order, and trying to get more respirators to reduce lung hemorrhage. The authorities are already overwhelmed, so how can they have the energy to educate citizens about fraud prevention?
You are unwilling to use your brain and just believe whatever others say. You deserve to be cheated.
Many people left the sewers and moved to private bases with their families. In just a few days, almost one-fifth of the people in the sewers were gone.
The sewer environment is really too bad. Many people are not unaware of the problems of private bases, but even if they know, they are willing to go to private bases, at least there is hope to live in a single room. If you stay in the sewers, I am afraid that you will not be able to live in a decent room for two or three years.
Some people in Shuiyue Bay also wanted to move away. The former logistics minister Chen Peiqiong tried to dissuade them with all her heart, but it didn't have much effect.
Old man Luo, who was in charge of the overall situation, is gone, and Aunt Xing, who had a relatively high prestige, has also moved away. As a logistics director with little experience and few connections, no one takes her seriously at all.
In addition to the people working in the sewers moving away, the remaining few families living in the villa area also moved away.
Everyone living in the villa area knew about the murder of a family of five some time ago. If they continued to live in the villa area, they might be the next to be murdered.
They were reluctant to move to the sewer, but they heard that the security in the private base was good, so several families decided to move together.
When these families decided to move, they came to find Xia Xiaoman and asked her if she wanted to move with them.
Xia Xiaoman refused without hesitation. The private base sounded suspicious. Why would she go to a private base in the freezing cold to give herself up?
