Chapter 790 The base is short of food (Updated 2)
The population capacity of a base is limited.
In the beginning, the Ninth Base relied on the mutated harmless food that it developed to maintain the operation of the base.
Even though this kind of rice tastes like sawdust and has no rice aroma, it is non-toxic, harmless and edible, which is enough.
Now everyone’s goal is to survive. Only by surviving can we consider the issue of taste.
But now, the base has so many more people all of a sudden. Even with these high-yield mutated foods, it is impossible to supply so many people at once.
The cafeteria of the base is sold out every day. There is no way. If you go too late, you can’t even get this kind of rice that tastes so bad!
Many people are on the verge of starvation.
The base commander had been asking for help from the central base for several days, hoping that they could provide some food. However, the central base was also under siege by zombies, and the zombies besieging their base were of a higher level and in greater numbers, so they had no way to help the Ninth Base.
The other bases around their base could only barely survive. Those bases that survived the siege of zombies had taken in many survivors from the surrounding small bases. They all faced the same problem: how to feed so many people.
There was not enough food in their own base, let alone supporting other bases.
The Ninth Base was in a huge food crisis.
Even if all the wood-type psychics joined the plantation and continuously ripened food every day, they could not make up for the huge daily food consumption in the base.
In the absence of external assistance and insufficient internal productivity, the importance of rice is self-evident.
Previously, Rice exchanged some unmutated rice in the base. Although the base noticed it, no action was taken.
After all, the distance of each mission of the superpower team that Rice belongs to is not close. Maybe Rice is lucky. When she is on a mission, she encounters a warehouse where food is stored before the end of the world and has some harvests. This is her personal gain.
In this situation, the base leaders are very greedy for the supplies on Rice.
Of course, robbing by force is not advisable, and the base leaders are still very reasonable.
As a member of the superpower team, Da Mi is close to the logistics of the base and has a good relationship with Xu Xiangchuan, so he naturally knows the specific situation inside the base.
Seeing that the soldiers in the army are already hungry, many of them do not have superpowers, but when the zombie army attacked the base, they still rushed to the front without hesitation, still adhering to the military's duty to protect the people.
Da Mi admires them very much.
If even the soldiers in the army are not full, who can protect them when the base is in danger again?
Without hesitation, Da Mi donated all the rice in the space, leaving only the survival supplies for the four people in his family.
At that time, the base leaders were stunned when they saw the bags of rice that almost formed a small mountain.
It was not their fault that they were ignorant, but the situation before them was beyond their imagination.
"This is 2 tons, right?" The base leader suppressed his shock and muttered to himself.
Xu Xiangchuan, who was in charge of the base's logistics, smiled and said, "According to my experience, 5,500 kilograms! Together with the existing food in the base, it is enough for our base to support for more than a month, and after more than a month, the plantation should also have a harvest."
Da Mi was relieved to hear that the food problem could be temporarily solved.
They rely on the base to survive. If the base no longer exists, they will find it difficult to survive in such a doomsday with zombies everywhere.
"Da Mi, on behalf of the entire base, I thank you for your help to the base!" The base commander saluted her solemnly!
Although Da Mi was not a soldier, she also returned a military salute, "Thank you to the officers and soldiers of the base for fighting so hard to protect the base. How could I let them go hungry? However, this is all the food I have, and I have no more. The rest can only be relied on by the leaders."
"We won't take your food for nothing, these are our rewards. I know that in the current situation, food is far more important than these gold and energy crystal cores. So, if you have any other requests, we will try our best to meet them."
The base commander is also a very reasonable person. He will not be stingy with those who have made contributions to the base.
Da Mi thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "I do have a need."
Thinking of her younger brothers and sisters at home, Da Mi directly asked for the right to use the three consecutive floors from their home.
Originally, people lived in the three floors above, but many people died in the zombie siege, and the people living in these three floors were part of them.
According to the base regulations, these vacant rooms will be re-counted and redistributed. After all, there are so many more people in the base all of a sudden, and accommodation is also a problem.
Thinking of her family of four and two children at home, Da Mi wanted to directly occupy all the vacant rooms on these three floors.
In order to avoid moving into the new neighbors and any danger at home, she will definitely go out of the base more often in the future and cannot be at home all the time to take care of her younger brothers and sisters.
What else does the base commander think it is a need?
He was thinking of arranging a position for her, but he didn't expect that she just asked for the right to use the third floor.
The base commander immediately felt that Da Mi was really a simple girl. He directly agreed to such a small request and immediately gave the order. Seeing this, Da Mi was also very happy.
Although there was no food in the space, she was in a much better mood because she got the third floor and could use it for her two children at home.
After leaving the office building of the base, Xu Xiangming personally sent Da Mi back home. Along the way, he thanked her again and again.
The rice from Da Mi really solved the current problem of eating for the soldiers.
"If you really want to thank me, then help me get some clean, unpolluted soil, right? You know, my brother and sister like to grow vegetables on the balcony. If they can have more soil, they will be very happy."
Da Mi said with a smile.
Xu Xiangming agreed immediately. As the strongest fighter in the base, it was not difficult for him to get some clean soil.
That night, Xu Xiangming brought it over. At that time, Da Mi's family was drinking Chinese cabbage meatball soup and tomato scrambled eggs.
Looking at the fresh green Chinese cabbage and the golden red tomato scrambled eggs in the big bowl, Xu Xiangming was shocked.
Xiaomi likes this amazing brother very much. He immediately pointed to the small vegetable garden on the balcony like presenting a treasure, "These are all planted by my sister and I! Now we can eat them. What do you think? We are amazing, right?"
Xu Xiangming immediately raised his thumb, "Awesome!"
