Chapter 202: The Calm Before the Storm
But how could the survivors' water storage capacity compare to that of the shelter? In three days, in order to preserve the seeds, they used up one third of the rainwater that had been stored at home.
It can only maintain the freshness of the seeds. The seeds are still in the ground, but their water storage capacity cannot be consumed.
When the exchange hall purchased a large number of seeds that had been exchanged before, they dug out all the seeds that were still alive in the ground.
They were returned to the shelter, but within a few days, many seeds had died. The recovered seeds were less than the seeds that had been exchanged before.
It's just a loss of a lot of resources.
The Academy of Agricultural Sciences was very angry about this. They had always been opposed to exchanging seeds with survivors.
The geology has changed now, and the weather is changing all the time, so many seeds have been exchanged.
If it were placed in their Academy of Agricultural Sciences, they would have been able to research a lot of things.
Vegetable research in City B is already ahead of them, and they are not thinking about how to cultivate stronger seeds with limited resources.
They actually provide scarce resources to ordinary people in large quantities at this time.
Looking at the wilted seeds collected from the shantytowns, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was completely furious. "If you don't give us an explanation for this matter, then whoever wants to do the research can do it..."
They have been studying new types of seeds since the extreme cold, studying how ordinary seeds can survive in air at minus fifty degrees Celsius.
Their research results have already come out, and they are currently studying how to make the seeds survive high temperatures and grow fruits.
Even when acid rain corroded the earth, they continued to research how seeds could increase their strength, tolerance, and survival rate.
For this purpose, they sacrificed their rest time and devoted themselves to these researches. Now those wilted seeds are placed on the table.
It was like a slap in their face.
The shelter can no longer provide them with fresh seeds at the moment, and they may have to wait for a month or two.
Only then can they send another batch of fresh and intact seeds.
The old man sat at the table, looking at the dying seeds, tears in his eyes.
"Mr. Deng, please don't be angry. What if you get angry and damage your health?" a young man in a white research coat walked beside the old man and comforted him.
"Xiao Zhen, please inform everyone at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences that everyone has worked hard in recent years. Give everyone a few days off during this period, and go back and have a good rest..."
The old man stretched out his skinny hands and carefully collected all the wilted seeds on the table. There was still some nutrient solution left in the laboratory.
I hope he can be saved.
"Mr. Deng, let me help you," the young man picked up the basket beside him and followed the old man.
"We don't need your help here, go and inform everyone..." The old man stood hunched in front of the shelf.
"Okay... I'll go then."
On the fifth day, the temperature reached 54 degrees and continued to rise, and sunscreen was sold at a sky-high price.
But there is still a steady stream of survivors coming to buy.
Xiang Yu stayed in the safe cabin and had no intention of going out. The weather was too hot and the bacteria in G City would soon be spread by the wind.
There are dangers everywhere outside, so it is safest to stay in the safety cabin.
The initial form of the fungus is like dust, and some are like dandelions. When the breeze blows, they can be spread by the wind.
In this disaster, almost all humans who survived were extinct, and only the shelters were relatively safe.
The high walls blocked the fungi from outside, but the mycelium stuck to the walls and carried by the wind still took root in the walls.
They grow against the wind, are not picky about the environment, and have strong vitality. Only special potions can completely eliminate them.
Even in the safety cabin, Xiang Yu still blocked all the gaps for safety reasons.
Only one vent is left.
The vents are also covered with gauze to filter out a lot of dust.
It was hot outside, but there was air conditioning in the safety cabin. Xiang Yu removed the gas stove, and the whole room looked a lot more spacious.
She doesn’t usually use the gas stove, so she cooks in the space before taking it out.
If you do it in the room, the smell will be too strong and people on the entire floor might be able to smell it. It will be much easier to make it in the space and then take it out.
After the location for the gas stove was cleared, the fitness equipment was taken out and placed there.
I developed a habit in the special training team before. Now I have to exercise first after getting up every morning, so that I feel that the day is more fulfilling.
Another week passed, and the shelter was still the same as usual, with nothing unusual.
Apart from the hot weather, there was no other change. However, the less unusual there was, the more uneasy Xiang Yu became.
There is no power left in the battery box, and I dare not steal power from the safety cabin as it will be detected.
Her battery box is usually kept at Zhao Lixin's place for charging, and one charge can last for two months.
Except for the two ones dedicated to air conditioning that consume a lot of electricity, the others can basically last for two months.
