Chapter 349 Everything is ready except for the east wind



Despite the intense heat outside, it is still winter according to the lunar calendar.

Therefore, it gets dark relatively early.

When Liu Kai finally arrived at Jingu Town in Qingxi County after traveling north along the county road, it was already pitch black outside.

At this moment, he can no longer care about his appetite and directly uses "plunder" to absorb energy to replenish himself.

After making several turns, we finally parked the SUV under the corrugated steel shed of an abandoned farmhouse at the foot of the mountain.

His target was an inconspicuous low house located 3 kilometers away on the mountainside.

It looked like an ordinary guardhouse, but there was actually a hidden world underneath.

Hidden within is a temperature- and humidity-controlled underground warehouse.

Like Liu Kai's bunker, the required electricity is supplied by geothermal power generation equipment.

It contained not ordinary supplies, but a large quantity of dormant crop seeds.

These seeds are a type of major strategic resource.

The purpose of storage is to serve as a basis for the rapid restart of agricultural production after major disasters or even world wars.

It's somewhat similar to the "Doomsday Seed Vault" in the Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic.

Although it doesn't have as many varieties of seeds as the "Doomsday Seed Vault," it still has a large quantity of seeds.

According to information Liu Kai found in the military database.

This warehouse also stores 8,000 tons of rice seeds, 4,000 tons of wheat seeds, and 10,000 tons of corn seeds...

There are also about 10 tons of each of more than ten types of vegetable seeds, including Chinese cabbage, bok choy, rapeseed, and soybeans.

There are many similar warehouses across the country.

There is no doubt that seeds can also be used as food.

However, even now, the authorities still hold the belief that the apocalypse will eventually pass.

Therefore, during the first cold wave, the seeds were not consumed in a wasteful manner.

Later, the Earth thawed and became extremely hot, causing a large amount of material beneath the ice to rot.

In order to provide emergency relief, the authorities had no choice but to allocate 20% of the food as emergency rations for the survivors.

But even if the survivors did not starve to death.

The extremely high temperatures and the constant outbreaks of plague still claimed many lives.

The location here is too remote, so no soldiers were stationed here to guard it.

However, as a crucial strategic resource depot, it is impossible to be completely unprepared, even in the apocalypse.

First and foremost, the satellites in the sky will definitely be paying close attention to this area.

Secondly, the surrounding area is covered with various early warning and detection devices, including the seemingly ordinary guardhouse, which is monitored so closely that it is completely sealed off.

That's why Liu Kai parked his car some distance away; it's better to keep a low profile when it comes to things like "zero-yuan purchases."

As for the possibility that the authorities might discover the theft later, that has nothing to do with him.

At worst, we can just arrest the accountant who does the books and put them in jail.

Liu Kai is now concerned about how many seeds he needs.

The storage space is 23,500 mu of land, 70% of which is used for wheat planting, and each mu requires 25 to 30 jin of wheat seeds.

If we calculate based on a maximum of 30 jin (15 catties), he would need at least 247 tons of seeds.

The remaining 30% is used to grow Chinese cabbage, and each acre requires 150 grams of Chinese cabbage seeds to be sown.

That means a total of 1.1 tons of cabbage seeds are needed.

Of course, only these seeds are needed as "seed capital," and there is no need to take too much.

Liu Kai had considered leaving several hundred acres of seed fields within the storage space.

It does not absorb the vitality of these wheat seedlings and cabbages, thus ensuring sufficient yield.

Once mature, it is used for breeding.

Less than 300 tons of seeds are insignificant compared to the enormous storage capacity of this warehouse.

Feeling his body brimming with energy, Liu Kai didn't delay.

They immediately disappeared into the folded space.

They activated the scanner and sped towards the warehouse nestled in the mountainside, 3 kilometers away.

Thick layers of earth and warehouse concrete walls are of no use in the face of spatial limitations.

Liu Kai quickly entered the spacious underground warehouse.

Fortunately, due to the tight surveillance from above, there weren't many cameras installed in the underground warehouse.

Even so, Liu Kai did not reveal himself, in order to avoid leaving any clues.

Within the folded space, he once again transformed into a bandit, unceremoniously stuffing wheat seeds into the storage space.

Of course, he was a bandit with a code of honor.

With some reserves, they only took 300 tons of wheat seeds and 1.5 tons of cabbage seeds.

Just five minutes later, he quietly left the underground warehouse and returned to his SUV.

After succeeding, Liu Kai couldn't be too cocky, so he immediately set off again to continue heading north.

After traveling about 40 kilometers along rugged mountain roads, he finally arrived at his last stop for the night: Fenghai Lake.

When the underwater base weapons were salvaged, the area was still covered in ice.

The huge reservoir has now thawed.

Under continuous torrential rain, the water level has already exceeded the highest warning line.

A large amount of lake water surged over the 150-meter-long reservoir dam and flowed downstream, forming a spectacular waterfall.

When passing by the cliff by the lake.

Liu Kai also discovered the wreckage of the snowmobile that Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai had overturned into the ditch.

It can be considered a unique "scenery" on a trip back to familiar places.

He still parked the SUV on a safer, higher shore.

However, for safety reasons, they did not openly drink water on the shore.

After getting out of the vehicle, Liu Kai fastened his exoskeleton faceplate and activated the sealing and emergency oxygen supply modes.

He plunged into the water, splashing a large spray, and was quickly carried to the bottom of the lake by gravity.
