"I called everyone here today to have a meeting. We've found a base to settle in, and it looks very safe!"
"At least until the zombies evolve to a higher level, this place is safe for now!"
"I called everyone here today to have a meeting and discuss the upcoming task assignments!"
Lin Zhenyuan looked at the seventy or eighty people in front of him. Some of them had been with them from the beginning, plus some lone individuals they had encountered along the way.
They picked up some people with good character and now they have a total of seventy or eighty people.
"President Lin, just tell us what you need, we'll do whatever you say!"
One of the survivors who joined later actively expressed his stance at this point.
This person was personally rescued by Lin Zhenyuan, so he always believed what Lin Zhenyuan said.
“We are all brothers and sisters who fled together. This is not a place for me, Lin, to dictate everything. The reason I've gathered everyone here is to discuss how we should live our lives from now on.”
"This place is far from the city, remote and safe, but there's no food here, so we have to find a way to survive!"
Lin Zhenyuan interrupted the man. If it weren't for the fact that the people in the team were grateful to Lin Xue for bringing them out and for staying by their side all the way, most of them would eventually become superhumans.
Lin Zhenyuan couldn't possibly have such prestige that everyone would listen to him.
"Yes, since we're all here, let's have a good discussion about how to get through the rest of the year. Even in this apocalypse, we must keep our eyes on the light and believe that the country will definitely develop a cure for the zombie virus. Maybe then we'll even see the day when the light comes back!"
Han Junru will definitely support his in-laws. The Han and Lin families have long been inseparable, always advancing and retreating together, and this time will be no exception.
"You two uncles are right. Now that we've settled down, it's time to think about how to solve the food problem!"
"There's no need to worry about the water source. The groundwater here is deep due to the terrain and hasn't been polluted yet, so we can drink it with peace of mind!"
"But the food problem is really urgent. Although we are far from the city, the land is also polluted, making it impossible to grow food. We have to think of a way!"
Gao Feng had considered this issue when he first arrived, but unfortunately he couldn't come up with a good solution, which was a headache for him.
"Those survivor bases we passed by earlier seemed to have a way to improve the land for planting. I wonder if we can use their methods?"
The speaker was Biao Da. Both earth-type and wood-type ability users can improve the land. However, there were only two earth-type and wood-type ability users in the team, and it would take them forever to improve the land.
By the time all the land here is reclaimed, they'll probably all starve to death.
“These lands are all outside. Even if some of them can be reclaimed, pollutants will fall into the soil as soon as it rains. Wouldn’t that be a waste of effort?”
Another ability user raised their objection: even if ability users with earth and wood elemental roots could improve the land, it was slow and a heavy rain would destroy it all.
"If that doesn't work, let's grow our crops in the caves. I've seen several caves where the soil is completely uncontaminated!"
Ye Lili shared her discovery: as long as they didn't use rainwater from outside to irrigate the cave, there wouldn't be any problems.
Since there are water-type ability users in the team, everyone can work a little harder and go underground to fetch water to irrigate.
It also allows those with superpowers to train in water-based abilities, improving both irrigation and watering.
“Ms. Ye is right. We definitely need to make use of the cave. We can plant some of our grain in the cave first. As long as it can grow grain, that’s fine!”
Although caves can grow some food, it is far from enough.
Unless the land in the valley can be utilized, their food will remain scarce.
"Xiaoxue, do you know if you have any way to solve this problem?"
After much discussion, no good solution could be found.
Finally, everyone's attention focused on Lin Xue.
"Grinding the crystal nuclei into powder and adding it to water to irrigate the soil can restore the health of toxic soil."
"However, doing this will consume a lot of crystal cores. We don't have much gold or reserves right now. If we want to use this method, we'll need someone to go hunting!"
As for the rainwater problem, there will always be a way to solve it; the most serious problem right now is the soil problem.
"I think we still need to go to the nearby cities to collect supplies. Growing food takes time, and our food supply simply won't be enough to support the harvest!"
"By the way, we superpowered individuals can also go out and improve ourselves. Crystal cores are a way for us to quickly increase our strength. Not only does the land in the valley need crystal cores, but we also need them for our daily cultivation!"
Having matured along the way, Lin Yang has become more composed.
No wonder he was a top student back then; his brain works better than others.
Finally, everyone agreed that the superhumans would go hunting every so often.
The main purpose was to go to nearby cities and bring back all the necessary supplies.
Secondly, one should train their special abilities and hunt zombies to earn crystal cores for daily use.
At the same time, their base also recruits survivors with good character from outside.
Since the superhumans need to go out hunting and killing zombies, some ordinary people still need to do the farming and other chores.
However, the people in the team were all related by blood or marriage, and they did not want to accept teams from outside the team. So they had to go out and find some people of decent character to recruit back to do these jobs.
And so, the days passed by, and two years went by in the blink of an eye.
The valley base is now completely covered by transparent materials, preventing rainwater from entering the valley.
Meanwhile, the people in the valley brought out the groundwater and diverted it from one side of the valley to the other, making it convenient for them to draw water for irrigation.
The land in the valley has been completely restored and is now lush with crops.
The population of the valley base has also increased significantly. Excluding those with superpowers, there are more than a thousand ordinary people.
Some of the residents of the valley base live in stone houses, while others live in caves.
Of course, the caves are no longer the row closest to the ground; many more caves have been opened up halfway up the mountain.
With the reinforcement of modern materials, the problems of doors, windows and ventilation have been solved. Apart from the occasional falling debris, these caves are quite comfortable to live in.
