Chapter 715: End of the World Agricultural Society
"Hahaha, but the premise is that they have to spend some money, time or energy, to find those materials that were in surplus before the end of the world."
The fat man smiled triumphantly. When he saw someone carrying a few jars of wine from Wu Simiao's house and running over, he boasted to the pedantic man, "But we are different. We don't need to spend a lot of energy, or even waste our lives, to look for supplies before the end of the world. We are here and can be self-sufficient in everything."
"I can see that you are developing a new type of apocalyptic agricultural society."
The pedantic man had to admit what the fat man said, then he thought about it, shook his head, and continued:
"But your social model cannot be replicated elsewhere. Now there are not only mutant animals in the land, but also mutant plants. This is why other places are not suitable for developing an agricultural society."
Because the living conditions do not allow it, the land is no longer suitable for growing crops. Most bases rely on the food, rice, vegetables and fruits produced by the wood-type mutants. The only thing that non-wood-type mutants can do is to go out and kill mutated animals and plants to provide crystal cores for the wood-type and water-type mutants.
Under this development trend, there are very few bases where people live as happily as in Baihua City. Baihua City is also mobilizing the entire population to kill mutant animals, but when they are free, they reclaim wasteland and grow crops on their own. It seems that every household grows some unimportant onions, ginger, and garlic, and does not rely entirely on wood-type mutants to provide food.
In addition, Baihua City does not limit the time of electricity use. Some people turn on the lights in their stone houses 24 hours a day. This seems to be a common thing. Because electricity is inexhaustible, people in Baihua City also have things like power banks.
It is even more common to loosen the soil in the fields or play a game on the mobile phone when you have nothing to do, not to mention that everyone has a computer at home connected to a local area network. A forum has been set up in the local area network. Among the survivor team of more than 6,000 people in total, there are more than 5,000 registered users in the forum.
When they have nothing to do, everyone posts, chats, and discusses on the forum. No one restricts their freedom of speech. Even when someone posts on the forum saying that the fat man's belly has grown a lot, no administrator comes forward to ban the post, causing the post to be manually pinned to the top of the page.
Freedom of speech and active thinking are not available in any other base.
Even in the Kinmen base, there is no such social structure.
Everyone in the apocalypse lives a very hard life. Some people live in the past, grieving the loss of their loved ones; some people live in the present, worrying about how to defeat the monsters in front of them; some people worry about the future, not knowing how to continue on this long road to the apocalypse to be worthy of their lives.
Human nature has been suppressed to the extreme in the end times.
In Baihua City, Zhen Xuejiu could not see any suppression of human nature. He even found that no one's interests and hobbies were suppressed in Baihua City. For example, Wu Simiao, who made wine, did not farm or go out to kill zombies. He liked to make wine and was obsessed with it. So Wu Simiao was useful in this Baihua City.
What surprised Zhen Xuejiu the most was the mentality of these people. They were not worried at all that a mutant plant or a group of mutant animals would suddenly pop up from the ground beneath their feet.
