Chapter 751 Which to Plant



Similar arguments were taking place in each of the small rooms; they dared not shout, but only mutter in hushed tones.

Fortunately, the guards were not so heartless. A few hours later, they sent two laborers to teach them simple life skills.

For example, where to fetch water, where to cook, how to start a fire, how to treat sewage and excrement, and so on. In short, it was an eye-opening experience, making you feel like you had traveled back decades.

Modern people have a strong learning ability. Although they are not used to it, they still managed to learn most of it.

Seeing this, the labor workers left. They had a lot of work to do and didn't have time to waste arguing with them.

The first group of people who moved into the shelter thought that life would just go on like this, got used to it, and didn't feel that they were losing out.

It wasn't until they saw the jubilant expressions on everyone's faces after receiving the mutant plant tissue culture seedlings on their phones that they realized they had missed out on a fortune.

They should have known about this news long ago, but at that time they were caught up in endless fear of the future and did not consider the issue of planting and harvesting in the fields this year.

Now, when people mention it, they're all dumbfounded.

The Kunmeng Mountains are a desolate wilderness. Although there are vast forests, there is no arable land. We can't just cut down the forests to grow crops, would that go against the alliance's environmental protection philosophy?

Furthermore, there's no research institute here, so they can't get any seeds or seedlings of mutated plants. The few ordinary seeds they have are nothing compared to the high-yield varieties from other places.

Even if we could get our hands on a mutant, this place is thousands of miles away from home, so we can't go back to farm!

Some people are secretly relieved that the winter wheat was sown last autumn and winter. Although it can't be managed now, a lower yield is better than no harvest at all.

I'm a little disappointed that I didn't try planting high-yield mutant varieties.

Aside from the few people struggling on Kunmeng Mountain, the rest were overjoyed to have received the mutated plant seedlings.

Although they already had crops planted on their own land, there were always scraps and nooks where they could make use of them.

Even if you don't have one, you can plant it in a flowerpot. It's not a loss!

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan also followed the crowd and went to the research institute to get forty tissue culture seedlings.

As agreed, the couple asked someone for ten sweet potato seedlings, ten wheat seedlings, ten corn seedlings, and ten soybean seedlings.

It's not that we don't want anything else, but rather, there's nothing else besides these few things. The research institute has limited production capacity, and it's already quite remarkable that they can provide so much.

The couple didn't complain and immediately planted the tissue culture seedlings on Qingning Mountain.

It was already mid-March, and temperatures were rising, giving it a distinctly spring-like feel. Because there wasn't a sharp drop in temperature last winter, the wheat seedlings were growing even better this year than last year.

The couple were not swayed by the sight before them. They dug a few holes in the corners, buried the tissue culture seedlings in them, and then watered them thoroughly.

After finishing their work, Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan and the two little ones home. An'an and Nuannuan weren't satisfied and dawdled, unwilling to move.

Bi Qiaoan guessed what they were thinking and whispered, "When we get home, Mom will have you two help plant crops too."

The two children's eyes lit up, and they nodded and followed behind.

Upon returning home, the family of four slipped into the space. Bi Qiaoan planted the eight hidden seedlings in the field, and even specially surrounded them with pebbles and put up a sign as a marker.

When An'an and Nuannuan saw this, they wanted to dig a hole nearby. Afraid that the two of them might accidentally destroy the seedlings, Bi Qiao'an specially cleared two plots of land around the mobile villa so the two could plant whatever they wanted.

Bi Qiaoan prepared small shovels, buckets, flower seeds, and grain seeds for them, told them how to plant them, and then left it to them. She let the two kids experiment freely; she wasn't really that concerned about whether they would grow anything. It was all about the process.

However, not everyone can be as carefree as the couple, especially after learning about the hidden dangers of Qinghua Kingdom.

People in the central and western regions remained relatively calm, given their distance from the sea and lack of strong sense of crisis. However, residents in the eastern regions faced a somewhat awkward situation after receiving the mutated plant seedlings.

Which one do you think we should plant?

If we plant them on our own land, we're afraid we'll have to migrate in a few days, leaving them unattended and without anyone to care for them. We don't even know if we'll be able to harvest them.

But if you plant it in a pot, you're afraid the pot will be too small or there won't be enough soil, and it will eventually die.

The best solution would actually be to bring them to Kunmeng Mountain, but the alliance hasn't officially issued any notice yet, and they're worried that if the plants are delayed and grow too tall and strong, they won't be able to transplant them. Furthermore, they're unsure if there's enough land in the Kunmeng Mountains for them to cultivate.

A group of people were stuck in a predicament, scratching their heads in frustration. It was only after the guards discovered the problem that they immediately reported it, prompting the alliance to come up with a compromise solution.

"It is recommended that residents of coastal cities temporarily plant the mutant plant seedlings in flower pots, and then transplant them to the Kunmeng Mountains when the time comes."

Although this area is covered with vegetation, it doesn't grow as vigorously as the water-rich areas to the east and south.

Furthermore, the Kunmeng Mountains are located at a relatively high altitude and are situated to the north and west, with vegetation consisting mainly of small shrubs. Therefore, planting some mutant plants wherever possible is not a problem.

However, the operation must be carried out under the guidance of guards and laborers, and the local living environment must not be damaged.

Of course, we'll have to wait until they arrive to discuss these things.

Coastal residents, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing the news, were terrified by the hidden information within it.

"Oh my god, is disaster coming? When will it happen?!"

“If we hadn’t come, the Alliance wouldn’t have allowed us to bring the mutated plants to the Kunmeng Mountains. Something must have gone wrong.”

The rumors were rampant in the streets and alleys. Although the alliance hadn't explicitly stated it, the truth was indeed pretty much what they had guessed.

"The energy accumulating in the seawater is growing rapidly. If we don't act now, it may be too late!" Dean Xu said to General Li with a look of fear.

General Li rubbed his temples, looking at the data that had been submitted with a headache.

Migration is not something that can be done in a few words; it involves many relationships, and problems can arise if one is not careful.

But now, it seems he doesn't have many opportunities left to think things through carefully.

"How long do you think we can hold out?" General Li asked Dean Xu.

Dean Xu dared not give a definite time; he could only shake his head and say, "It's getting worse every day. We have no idea when it will reach its peak. It's best to migrate as soon as possible."

General Li sighed and made a series of phone calls, ordering the coastal guard teams to escort the residents to Kunmeng Mountain.

Upon hearing the news, the residents of the coastal areas had no time to grieve; they packed their belongings and embarked on the westward journey with the escort team.

Only a few, reluctant to leave their homeland, chose to stay. After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade them, the guards had no choice but to let them be.
