Chapter 805 Food Crisis at the Ninth Base (1 update)

Everyone in the Ninth Base is on edge.

There are zombie attacks outside the base, and zombie rats are sneaking inside the base. Everyone in the base is doing their best to resist this crisis.

This is their homeland, and they must not let the zombies break in. They must not let the base become a buffet for zombies!

Everyone is gritting their teeth and holding on.

However, after many days of persistent fighting, the high mental tension, the continuous stages, and the efforts day and night have made everyone in the base physically and mentally exhausted.

Even when the super energy is used up, there are still a large number of super energy crystal cores to replenish the super energy. However, the consumption of physical energy and the hunger in the body are difficult to replenish.

At this time, let alone the mutated food in the base, which tastes no different from sawdust, as long as it can fill the stomach, everyone will accept it.

At this time, the taste is no longer important.

As long as it can replenish food and physical strength, no one will care what it is.

The base commander stared at the battles inside and outside the city. Xu Xiangchuan, who was in charge of the logistics of the base, had a tense face and his hair was almost white with worry.

There was no other reason, the food supply in the base was insufficient.

He knew too well the significance of food to the entire base at this time!

Those soldiers who are still fighting on the front line, if they can't even have food to eat, and let them go to the battlefield, they are going to die! It means actively delivering food to the zombies!

However, he understands the truth, but a good cook can't cook without rice!

Originally, the food in their base was definitely enough, but in the past two years, their base has expanded from the original population of more than 200,000 to more than 500,000.

The survivors of the bases that were breached by zombies kept pouring into the ninth base, which suddenly increased the difficulty of the base's food supply.

Fortunately, the base commander made a deal with Da Mi and exchanged some food from her, otherwise, their base would definitely not be able to survive such a difficult period at the beginning.

If people can't even guarantee food, they can do anything. That's too dangerous.

In this way, the Ninth Base relied on the rice to temporarily overcome the food crisis. The sudden increase in food gave them time to prepare more plantations and time for crops to grow and harvest. As

long as they can eat enough, they won't mind if the rice they eat every meal tastes like sawdust, nor will they mind if the steamed bread they eat every day tastes like dirt.

After all, these rice and wheat are mutated varieties, and the yield is 10 times that of normal rice and wheat before the end of the world. At the same time, they can be harvested every two months!

With such a large variation in yield and growth time, it is understandable that the taste has been lost.

The food crisis in the base had been overcome, but this time the zombie siege destroyed all 20 plantations that were developed later.

The rice and wheat in these plantations are inedible, which caused a sudden shortage of food in the base.

If there hadn't been a zombie siege, these 20 plantations would have had a good harvest immediately!

The harvested food is to be supplied to everyone in the base.

Everyone can exchange it in the lobby by accumulating points.

But now, their logistics can't even supply everyone's food!

Xu Xiangchuan was so worried that his hair was about to fall off.

The base commander was also worried. How can he fight if he can't fill his stomach?

The power in the base is complicated. After the model, human order is rebuilt, and force is respected.

Everyone relies on force and materials to control power.

On weekdays, the leaders in the base may argue and fight endlessly for this or that thing, for the power in their hands. However, no matter how everyone argues, when facing the zombies, everyone has the same goal!

Facing the common enemy of mankind, the leaders in the base can also work together and fight together to contribute their own strength to protect their homeland.

When everyone realized that the base was short of food, they contributed the food in their hands.

However, looking at the three layers of zombies inside and outside the base wall, everyone felt extremely heavy in their hearts.

With the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to clean it up completely without a week!

And the food in the base will not last for less than a week no matter what.

The food in the plantation will take at least half a month to mature.

Xu Xiangchuan was really angry and anxious!

He walked out of the conference room and smoked depressedly in the corridor.

Don't get me wrong, the cigarette in his hand is not the cigarette of later generations, but the tobacco made from the dried and crushed leaves of a tree. The taste is very similar to cigarettes. Many old smokers can't smoke cigarettes, so they rely on this.

When Dami came over, he saw this scene.

Rice could feel Xu Xiangchuan's irritability and anxiety from afar.

She knew the current predicament in the base without even thinking about it.

"Minister Xu, if you don't throw away the cigarette butts, your hands will be hot." Rice walked over and reminded.

Xu Xiangchuan lowered his eyes and immediately pressed the cigarette butt in his hand against the wall and stubbed it out with all his strength.

"Why are you here? I heard that zombie rats appeared near where you live, and there are so many of them. Have you dealt with them now?"

Da Mi had a headache thinking of those densely packed rats. "Almost. A fire will burn them all. There may be some that slipped through the net, but everyone is investigating seriously. I believe that soon all these rats that can only dig holes will be found and killed!"

Zombie rats are not big in size, and their attack power is not strong. Even ordinary people without special powers can kill them as long as they wrap themselves tightly and carry a net bag. When they find them, they can directly put the net bag on them and turn on the power switch at the same time, and they will definitely be electrocuted to death.

The principle is the same as that of an electric fish machine.

Of course, Da Mi came here for business.

"Is there not enough food in the base?" She asked in a low voice.

Xu Xiangchuan had nothing to hide from this person. There were too many survivors accommodated in the base before, and there was not enough food. It was only thanks to other people's contributions that people were not starved to death.

Xu Xiangchuan nodded, "This time the zombie siege destroyed more than 20 plantations outside the base. The plantations inside the base will not be harvested for another half a month. For a while, some food supplies were insufficient."

As expected, Rice was very lucky that the life gate appeared very timely.

"There should be no shortage of gold jewelry and high-level energy crystal cores in the base, right?"

Xu Xiangchuan's eyes lit up. He was so smart. The last time Rice exchanged, the base commander gave him gold jewelry and high-level energy crystal cores.

"I can make the decision now about the gold jewelry and give it to you directly, but the high-level space crystal core has not been found yet. The logistics department still has high-level fire, water, and wood crystal cores."

Da Mi thought of Hong Yao and the two kids at home who were addicted to farming. "I'm not picky about crystal cores, but I can't use them. Don't be stingy with gold jewelry."

Although I don't know when the next life gate will open, it's still necessary to prepare the payment in advance!
