Construction work is proceeding in full swing, and there has been no bad news from the north.
A few days later, thanks to the fertilizer and Lin Man's hard work, the potatoes in the valley finally matured, and then the first batch of sweet potatoes could finally be harvested. The experts couldn't wait to let them rest, so they started using them to grow seedlings without stopping.
At the same time, the first batch of corn can be harvested. Corn cobs are hung up in the sun. Because the sunlight is strong enough, they can be threshed in two days. The threshed corn kernels continue to be dried. Lin Man can only sneakily find opportunities to mix several handfuls of corn kernels from the space into the corn kernels.
Now there are too many people eyeing this land and these seeds, so it is particularly difficult for her to do anything good. For example, she dare not touch the potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are quantified.
Then, just as the potatoes were being cut and planted, clumps of sweet potato seedlings were being transplanted, and corn kernels were being sown, Lin Cheng was suddenly summoned to the newly built camp by an emergency call from the Tuanyuan Base. Immediately afterwards, a fighter jet on standby was ready to take off.
Lin Cheng hurriedly found Lin Man and told her that he had to fly back to the north immediately.
Lin Man asked: "Zombies appeared?"
"Yes, the situation is not very clear right now, but there are at least a dozen zombies."
Lin Man frowned: "Where did it appear? Did it hurt anyone?"
"Don't worry. We're still some distance away from the Tuanyuan Base, but we're very close to the Dongyang Base. The current news is that some people at the Dongyang Base were injured, and they've been immediately detained."
"That's good, but zombies that eat flesh and blood will become stronger, right?"
Lin Cheng nodded: "So we must eliminate them as soon as possible. I will take the four skinny guys away, and the three healing psychics will also come with me. The others will remain the same. I leave this place to you."
Lin Man nodded: "Don't worry, go ahead." Lin Cheng taught her for a full half month. In addition to combat, he also taught her how to manage people and how to be a good team leader. Although the team of 300 people still played the roles of construction workers and farmers reclaiming mountain land, they also had training time every day.
Lin Man would always follow them around and even train with them. Now those people also identify with Lin Man more and know that they will be following her in the future. They are all quite obedient and do not show any bad emotions. Lin Man thinks they are still easy to manage?
Of course, they may also be excited by the crops on the hillside that will soon become winter food reserves. No one wants to be driven out to eat themselves in winter, so of course they have to perform well.
Seeing that Lin Cheng was about to take off with the people he was going to take, Lin Man sighed softly and took out a white jade plate. It was engraved with a simple yet majestic auspicious cloud pattern, and in the center was a auspicious beast, which Lin Man could not tell what kind of animal it was. In short, it looked very auspicious.
However, these patterns became increasingly unclear, because after half a month of daily infusion of spiritual energy, the jade plate became more and more transparent, and had become translucent, allowing light to pass through more clearly. Presumably, if it continued to be nurtured with spiritual energy, it would become completely transparent.
Lin Man tried to use 70% to 80% of his strength but still couldn't break the jade token. It was getting harder and harder.
But what use was it? This tiny thing couldn't be used as armor, nor could it be used to block zombie attacks. It was also far from the magical amulet she had imagined, so she couldn't even bring herself to give it to Lin Cheng.
She thought that maybe she should carve the jade into the shape of a weapon first, and then use spiritual energy to nourish it. Maybe she could get a peerless sword or something like that, but she didn't have such a large piece of jade on hand.
"The Spiritual Energy Depot is leaving." Guan Guan suddenly sighed sadly. Lin Man woke up immediately and ran up to grab Lin Cheng: "Lin Cheng, give me another minute. Not just one minute, half a minute will do."
She pulled him aside and said, "You haven't given me the flowers for today yet."
Lin Cheng: “…”
Lin Cheng was a little confused. Why was he so obsessed with flowers?
He looked at Lin Man deeply, and conjured up four or five chrysanthemums for her in one breath: "Enough, enough." Lin Man smiled. He might have to enter the battle immediately after arriving, and it would not be good if his body was not in sufficient energy by then.
Lin Man held a few large, golden chrysanthemums that were becoming increasingly lifelike and beautiful, and said with a smile, "Lin Cheng, when you get there, if you have time, could you please talk to my dad and ask him to find me some jade. It doesn't matter if the shape is a little ugly, or if the quality is a little low, but they must be large."
"What are you going to use it for?" Lin Cheng asked.
"I'm going to carve something myself and give you one when the time comes."
"Okay, I got it." Lin Cheng didn't believe in her skills, nor did he take the promise seriously, but he made a note of looking for jade for her.
Lin Man stood in the sunshine, watching her spiritual energy library board the fighter plane, fly away little by little, and finally disappear into the sky. Feeling lost, she looked down at the flowers in her arms, and they were dissipating.
There was no more spiritual energy to absorb in the future. She thought of the mountain of grain in the space that occupied a lot of land and greatly squeezed her planting area. She thought that this could not go on any longer, and she had to find a way to get those things out.
But how could he take them out without arousing suspicion? Lin Man went back to consult his mother.
Over the past half month, Chen Yu's complexion has been getting better and better, and he looks younger and younger. Even the white hair on his head shows signs of turning black.
Chen Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Man, Mom understands that you want to help everyone, but it's too risky."
"But even if we're not taking it out to feed everyone, we still have to take it out. You can see the food is piling up higher and higher, and it's still growing in the fields. But if I don't plant it, I won't have any spiritual energy. If I plant it, the food reserves will continue to increase. Am I supposed to just dump it somewhere and let it rot?"
That's such a waste. You have to know that those things are grown in the space, some of them have been grown for several generations, and the quality is much better than those outside. Guan Guan said that those that have been grown for several generations even contain a trace of spiritual energy, which has a good effect on strengthening the body and prolonging life. For the current malnourished and weak people, they are not only delicious, but also a tonic.
Chen Yu didn't know what to say. He could only blame it on the fact that the whole world was in a state of poverty and famine. Otherwise, he could say that the food was imported from somewhere else. Now, with such a large amount of food, it would be difficult to justify it unless he said it fell from the sky.
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find any good solution, so Lin Man could only put the matter aside and start treating his mother.
Today is the first time Chen Yu has taken nerve repair medicine. It is said that because of its powerful repair function, this medicine will make people feel extremely uncomfortable or even severe pain after taking it. This is the biggest side effect of this medicine, but compared with its powerful and amazing efficacy, this side effect seems completely tolerable.
Lin Man placed her hand on her mother's lower back, and the spiritual energy protected her spine and the nerves inside. She also learned from the three healing psychics.
Although, aside from their first meal, their food remained similar to that at the Reunion Base, they were all very optimistic about the prospects of the farmland on Dayan Mountain and even hoped to spend the winter there. While the facilities here certainly couldn't match those at the Reunion Base, and heating was a more serious issue, those were negligible compared to being able to eat fresh, delicious, and plentiful food in the winter, like the side effects of a nerve-repairing drug.
Therefore, their attitude towards Lin Man was also very good. When Lin Man came to ask for advice, they were more willing to pass on their experience to her. Even the young man was no longer cold and dissatisfied at the beginning.
So now Lin Man has a better idea of what he should do.
Ten minutes after Chen Yu took a nerve repair drug, Lin Man felt an energy that did not belong to Chen Yu's body coming to her lower back. She carefully guided the somewhat overbearing energy, allowing it to contact the nerves slowly and gently. At the same time, she secretly guessed how the nerve repair drug was made. This was not an ordinary medicine at all, but a magical medicine containing a mysterious power!
Two hours later, everything was over. Lin Man was sweating profusely and all the spiritual energy in his body was exhausted. Chen Yu did not feel much discomfort throughout the whole process, but because of the high mental tension, she also felt quite tired at this time. The mother and daughter exchanged their experiences and fell asleep without caring about anything else.
I don’t know how long I slept, but Lin Man was awakened by Guan Guan’s urgent calls.
Lin Man woke up and jumped up: "What happened?"
Guan Guan screamed, "Lin Man, the ground is shaking! The ground is shaking!"
"Earthquake?" Chen Yu also woke up. "Is it an earthquake?"
Earthquake? Lin Man's face tensed and he said to her, "Mom, you stay in the space first. I'll go out and take a look." Without waiting for Chen Yu to say anything, he left the space.
After coming out, the earthquake she had imagined did not occur, but there was a more obvious vibration under her feet. She walked out of the cabin, and the people living in the valley had not woken up yet, but Lin Man saw waves on the surface of the puddle, as if it was a big pot with firewood burning underneath, and the water in the pot was about to boil. It was still a bit scary to look at.
However, lights were on outside the valley and voices were heard. It was the team on duty tonight.
Now the base on Dayan Mountain has taken shape. Their location faces south and is very good, so there is no need to move. They gave up the original address of the Peace Base, which was very concealed but too narrow. The new base has enclosed a large piece of flat land at the foot of Dayan Mountain, and built a solid concrete defense wall around it. Many camps have also been built on the flat land, which subtly guard the valley on the mountain and the numerous fields on and below the mountain.
The team of 300 people, plus the six soldiers originally brought by Lin Zhongrong and later stayed, totaled 306 people, plus the 40-man guard team originally led by Zheng Gang, totaling 346 people. They are now divided into ten teams to perform patrols, guards and night watches.
Under the current circumstances, this job is relatively easy because there are no enemies here at all. Even at night, a team of more than 30 people can be divided into two teams, one on the mountain and one at the foot of the mountain. They can be on duty for the whole night and can take turns sleeping.
The seventh team was on duty tonight. Their captain led his men into the valley and ran into Lin Man head-on. "Miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Just as he finished speaking, a rock fell from above the valley.
"Miss, it's not safe in the valley. Go hide somewhere open outside."
"Okay, I'll bring my mom out, and you guys wake up the others, including the people down the mountain." As he was speaking, the earthquake became more and more obvious, and the others woke up and ran out in a hurry.
Fortunately, the earthquakes came in waves and gradually subsided after about half a minute. Lin Man went into the house and took Chen Yu out of the space, then carried her out of the valley and stayed in the open space with the others. After that, there were several intermittent earthquakes, but they were all relatively mild, just enough to cause rocks on the hillside to roll down.
Until the last earthquake stopped and there were no aftershocks for a long time, Lin Man settled his mother down and first contacted the people down the mountain through the contact points installed on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. After knowing that there were no casualties, he took the people from the seventh team here to the fields to check and found that there was no loss. Only then did he feel relieved.
If the earthquake is more severe, all their efforts in recent times may be wasted, and their food reserves for this winter will also be wasted.
Lin Man went down the mountain again. People were still talking about how the newly built houses were very sturdy and had not been affected at all. Lin Man heard that people were not talking about how amazing the earthquake was, but praising the sturdiness of the houses in various ways.
Well, it seems no one was scared.
But there was a group of people who were talking about something more grand. They were the technicians. None of them had left, and it seemed they had no intention of leaving. Except for a few agricultural experts, the others were basically only useful during construction and maintenance, and were redundant at other times. They were also generally older, so their days at the Reunion Base were not easy. They had been organized here and thought they had a new task, so they were all happy. After all, having something to do meant their treatment would be improved a little. They hadn't expected that although this place had nothing, it had fields after fields.
Every day, listening to those agricultural people talking about how good the crops are, none of them want to leave, including those who have relatives in the reunion base. They just want to bring them over instead of going back themselves.
Lin Man was happy to support those who had put so much effort into building the new base. If they wanted to stay, they could stay. He didn't mind their age and inability to work. Aren't there enough old men and women? These people were all educated people, so it wouldn't be bad for them to stay and teach the children, even though there weren't many children at the base right now.
At this time, Lin Man went over and heard them discussing where the epicenter of the earthquake was. Several geological experts were still calculating. Lin Man could not understand what they were saying. He only knew that the conclusion was that the epicenter should be less than a thousand kilometers away from here.
"It's really strange. Logically speaking, this area is not in an earthquake zone, and there has never been an earthquake in history." The cultural people were very puzzled, but Lin Man raised his eyebrows slightly and his eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard it.
After returning home, she couldn't wait to find her mother: "Mom, I have a good idea!"
Chen Yu smiled and asked, "What's a good idea?"
"Isn't this an earthquake? What if I secretly run to the earthquake site, put the food there, and then find an opportunity to take people there to investigate the situation and discover a treasure? Wouldn't that be fine?"
"Who would believe that?" This is too bizarre.
"No matter how much they refuse to believe it, how can they not believe it when genuine food appears before them? How can they not eat it? Anyway, Guan Guan said that the food is of exceptional quality. It's not something that can be grown under normal circumstances. It's normal for it to have a legendary origin."
Although Lin Man's method was a bit naive, she had no better idea at the moment. She was now anxious to get rid of the burdens in the space.
"But it's so far away, how are you going to get there?" Chen Yu asked her rationally, "And to prevent people from being linked to you, you can't just disappear for days. You should be the same as you usually are. Even if you left something there, how are you going to lead people there and discover it?"
