Chapter 709: Baihua City
All the wood-type mutants were firing on all cylinders. With enough crystal cores, everyone let go of their hands and feet and began to produce edible things enthusiastically. They were as energetic as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and their mood was completely different from that of the wood-type mutants in other bases.
Soon, the strength users had to harvest two or three crops of rice every day, and more than ten crops a day. For this purpose, the strength users who were specially equipped to harvest rice also exercised their strength abilities to some extent.
The empty rice bin was filled and emptied very quickly. The experts also built a threshing floor. Everyone was busy, giving off their light and heat, as if this was their happy life.
After a few days, more people came to Xiaozhou City, and the originally orderly scenic area suddenly became a little chaotic. The hustle and bustle seemed to make the north road of the scenic area a little crowded. In order to avoid accidents, Zhan Lian took advantage of his free time to erect an iron wall on S Road to the north. It was thick and tall, intimidating those restless people.
There is a small door in the wall, and watchtowers are erected on both sides of the iron wall. People entering the door need to specially register the reason for entering the scenic area, whether they are passing by or coming in to buy supplies, and they need to write it clearly.
Just like that, the area of the scenic area did not expand much, but its layout became bigger and bigger. Now the scenic area is no longer called a scenic area. In order to flatter An Ran, the fat man hung a plaque on the iron wall and changed the name to Baihua City.
Although the name is tacky, it has a very good meaning. Baihua City has water, electricity, and heating, and has dug underground air-raid shelters. The ground is full of plants that look like ordinary plants, and the crops in the fields can be harvested several times a day. In addition to feeding the 6,000+ people in Baihua City, it also feeds many people in Xiaozhou City.
The southern city wall was defended, and Zhan Lian began to study various mechanisms. In addition to manpower, the mechanisms he studied could also play a defensive role.
For many people with special powers, their hobbies before the end of the world were magnified. In order to make extra money, some of them took the glutinous rice cakes and other things they made when they were bored and ran to the north wall to resell them, and they were unexpectedly popular.
Things like cakes and cream can be made, but there is no meat in the apocalypse, and ingredients like eggs are almost extinct. Cakes are made with cake flour and frozen cream from before the apocalypse, so they are relatively rare and not sold to the public.
The unlimited development of Baihua City will eventually attract the leader of Xiaozhou. No one found it strange. When Fatty and his team were in Yaoyang Base, didn't they also attract the attention of many leaders in Hedong? So when the leader from Xiaozhou came, everyone had expected it, and of course they opened the door to welcome the leader of Xiaozhou to visit and greet.
The towering hillsides on both sides were full of greenery. Some people with special powers had built some stone roads on the hillsides. When Xiaozhou's car drove into Baihua City, the stone roads were full of children watching. Everyone was filled with an inexplicable excitement about a car running on the road.
Maybe the scenic area is too small and the children are particularly energetic. They can run from the south end to the north end in ten or twenty minutes. So on the S-road that runs through the north and south, there are almost no cars on the road except for some carts hauling crops.
