Lin Man also dug up two jujube trees and placed them together with the three apple trees, as they were also to be taken away.
Then there were the lemon trees. Lin Man didn't recognize lemons at first, but later, when she had some free time, she cut one and tasted it. It was so sour that her teeth were almost chattering.
She didn't like eating this kind of fruit very much, and thought her mother would not like it either, so she saved all the seeds and planted one just for the sake of courtesy. But later her mother said that this fruit is rich in vitamin C and is very good for the body, so Lin Man planted several more, and now none of them are taller than her.
She only kept the smallest lemon sapling and released the others. Since people needed them, let them benefit everyone.
Lin Man was busy fiddling with the tree in the space, sweating profusely. Outside, time was passing by minute by minute, and the sky began to turn slightly white. The two of them left the space again, stood on the top of the mountain and looked down. Sure enough, there was a messy scene below after the earthquake.
There were no traces of humans or zombies, only dead trees and dry, yellow, and rotten weeds.
Lin Man found several places that avoided the cracks in the ground and dumped his mountain of grain there. Then he found several other places to place a dozen or so large tree saplings.
After finishing these, I quickly asked Guanguan to take her back.
When we returned, people on Dayan Mountain had already started moving around. After all, they were worried about their crops, so they got up at dawn to check if the crops had been damaged in the earthquake.
Lin Man had no choice but to land on the back of Dayan Mountain and walk back slowly on his own two legs. Whenever he met someone, he would tell them that he had also gotten up early and looked around at the fields, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Lin Man first reported to his mother that he was safe to reassure her, and then came to the helipad of Dayan Mountain.
Now they also have planes in Dayan Mountain, including a transport plane, an ordinary patrol plane and a powerful fighter plane. There is also a warehouse here where some logistical supplies are stored.
The fifth team is in charge of this place. Lin Man asked them to arrange people to go to the epicenter to check the situation.
The captain of the fifth team was in a dilemma. Fuel was precious and the earthquake source was not nearby, so why bother to go to the trouble of finding out the situation?
But Lin Man's reasoning was also very sound: "What if there are still some trapped zombies there, and an earthquake lets them escape? There are nearly 800 of us here, which is attractive enough for zombies. Instead of waiting for danger to come, why don't we go and take a look first."
The team leader agreed. He had no choice but to agree, because Lin Man was the boss.
In order to save fuel, they sent out the smaller and more fuel-efficient patrol plane. There were only two people on board. Lin Man was worried that they would not be able to find the treasure, so he wanted to go too, but was rejected.
More than two hours later, the patrol plane sent back a message. The man on the mission was clearly very excited: "Food! There's so much food here!"
Lin Man felt relieved.
According to the detailed information sent back, there was indeed a lot of food there, so how could anyone stay still on Dayan Mountain? So, without any scrimping on fuel, the large transport planes were dispatched, and the small team sent two teams, along with some agricultural and botanical experts, to determine whether the food was edible and whether it was poisonous.
In the end, the two most experienced experts were selected, and Lin Man herself was going too. As the boss, how could she not go to such a big event?
Two hours later, they arrived at the place where Lin Man had dumped the mountain of grain in the morning. They were stunned for a moment when they saw the grain all over the mountain as if it had been deliberately dumped there.
After the experts used their eyes and instruments to confirm that these things were non-toxic and harmless, and were completely normal and edible foods, a team of people quickly cordoned off the surroundings and kept alert to any movements around them, while the others turned into porters and moved them onto the transport plane.
They worked until dark, and almost all the food had been loaded onto the transport plane. If they squeezed a little, they could even fit all the trees. As for the dozens of people, they could only squeeze onto the patrol plane, or huddle in the corners or sit on the food. Of course, no one felt wronged; they wished they could bury themselves in this mountain of food.
The two old experts were whispering around the fruit trees, their faces flushed with excitement. It was unclear whether they were excited about discovering these living trees or about the green little apples on them. Anyway, Lin Man felt that they really wanted to take a bite of those fruits to taste them.
People looked at the mountain in the twilight, which they had turned over and over again to make sure no food was left behind, as if they were looking at an extremely magical place. They set out on their return journey with awe and wonder in their hearts.
…
The entire Dayan Mountain went crazy that night, and people's reaction was even more intense than during the earthquake last night.
Knowing that there was a mountain and a sea of grain, people began to look forward to it since daytime, and kept looking forward to it until nightfall. The transport plane carrying their hopes finally returned, and as soon as it landed, it was surrounded by people.
Those big lights, without caring about electricity, turned on one after another, shining a spotlight on the transport plane. Then the people who had been waiting for a long time rolled up their sleeves and started moving.
"Move the trees down first!" The two experts shouted before they even got down. "Be careful, be careful, don't knock the apples down. These two jujube trees are in bloom, so be gentle. Each flower is a jujube!"
Hearing about apples and dates, people no longer cared about the mountains and seas of grain. They all rushed up the mountain to see the trees. At the mention of these two words, their mouths watered uncontrollably, making the two experts nervous: "Stand back! Don't touch! Don't knock the flowers off!"
However, even though they were careful enough, a lot of apples and jujube flowers still fell off. Not to mention the two experts, everyone else was also heartbroken.
People planted these fruit trees overnight. The best apple tree was planted in the valley that was generally believed to have the best feng shui, and the others were planted in the best locations on the mountain. The bottom of the pit was fully fertilized, and people were sent to guard it 24 hours a day, as if guarding their lifeblood.
With these fruit trees, the status of those farmlands will be relegated to a low point.
Half of the people went to work on the fruit trees, while the other group stayed to carry the grain. Well, now everyone knows that it is not as much as a mountain or a sea of grain, but it is enough to form a small mountain.
People even took the trouble to separate all the different kinds of grains, counting them one by one, and under the bright light, sorting out the ones with intact skin, damaged skin, big size, small size, those that looked particularly good and were suitable for seeds, those that were suitable for direct use as food... and so on. There were also special people who were responsible for recording, making everything look very organized.
Although the project is huge, there are many people working here, three or four hundred people are busy together. Fortunately, there is a lot of open space in the new camp, otherwise all these people would not be able to move around.
While busying himself, he said, "Where do you think all this food comes from? It can't be that it was raised in nature, right? Look how well it's growing, and how clean it is."
"It's impossible that someone hid underground before the end of the world and was only brought out by an earthquake. Look how surprising this is. This thing really exudes a sinister nature."
"Why do you care so much? As long as there's something to eat, that's all that matters."
Lin Man didn't know where to start. Seeing that these people were so excited that they probably didn't want to sleep tonight, she just let them go. She still had to go back to treat her mother.
The next morning, all the data were counted and all the grain was classified. So, under the guidance of experts, a new round of mountain reclamation activities began on Dayan Mountain. They cultivated the land, applied fertilizer, and started planting.
As time went by, the fertilizer was no longer enough.
These are all industrially synthesized fertilizers, and they can only be obtained from the Tuanyuan Base. Although the nearly 800 people have produced a lot of natural fertilizers during this period, it is still not enough for the vast farmland.
At this time, they felt that there were too few people. They heard that the large bases in the north each had one or two million people, but they did not dare to use their feces to fertilize the fields easily, because the plantations there needed to be strictly controlled. If any bacteria in the soil exceeded the standard, it might cause the planting to fail.
Thinking about those organic fertilizers, everyone's heart was bleeding, and they really wanted their transport plane to go over and bring all that over.
