Soon, Xiangdong completely took over the position of the old general and officially took office. |
The scale of Hope Base is not large now, and Xiangdong was already familiar with all the things before, so he handled things very easily.
After mastering all the security affairs of the base, with the consent of various departments, Xiangdong began to expand the scale of the security department.
The security department is divided into two parts, one part is composed of ordinary soldiers, and the other part is composed of superpowers. Xiangdong has the right to deploy the security department, and Li Xue is the highest decision-maker in the security department. This is also Xiangdong's idea to avoid power struggles like those in the H base.
The people and monkeys brought back by Xiangdong all joined the superpower army and became the first batch of superpower warriors in the security department.
Then, the security department began to recruit people. Anyone can sign up, and as long as they pass the assessment, they will be assigned to the appropriate unit according to their own situation.
The number of people in the Hope Base is increasing every day. Because of the fight against the zombie tide, many survivors have begun to notice this small base. Amid the sighs of some people who regretted leaving the Hope Base because of the zombie tide, more people know how good the living conditions in the Hope Base are, and there is an endless stream of people coming here. The Hope Base opened its doors and accepted all the survivors who came to seek refuge.
The scale of the base is constantly expanding. The mountain where the villa area was originally located is no longer enough. Except for the two mountains that have been reclaimed as farmland, all the nearby mountains have been included in the scope of the base and are ready to be built into new residential areas.
Zhang Hu and Hu Zi are so busy every day planning various facilities and giving on-site instructions that they have both lost a lot of weight. Jian Hui feels so distressed that she cooks for Hu Zi every day.
Although Zhang Hu has also benefited from it, he is still very jealous. Why can Hu Zi, who is so carefree and has a scruffy face, have someone who cares about him? And he is more handsome than Hu Zi, and he is smart and cautious, so why is he still alone? He also wants to find a woman to date, but with so many things to do every day, he doesn't have the time!
No, after he finishes his work, he must ask Li Xue for a long vacation, and then find a woman to cultivate feelings. Yes, that's it! Zhang Hu, who had made up his mind, worked even harder to achieve his goal as soon as possible. His subordinates looked at him like a workaholic and complained bitterly.
The construction of the base was carried out tightly, and the people who went out to collect supplies also accelerated the progress. Guo Qing and Zhang Long led people to sweep everything in the nearby cities.
Thanks to that zombie tide, there are now few zombies in the whole province of H. People who go out on missions often rush up to kill zombies once they find them in order to earn some "extra money". For a time, the zombies in the province of H were in danger. After seeing humans, the zombies with some consciousness began to run away, fearing that
they would be shot in the head and their crystal cores dug out by these crazy humans. Since then, it has been difficult to find a corpse in Province H for a long time. The superpowers in Province H had to run to neighboring provinces to obtain crystal cores.
Without the threat of zombies, more ordinary people began to bravely run towards the Hope Base.
While the Hope Base was being built in full swing, the first batch of crops planted was ready to be harvested.
Everyone in the base was looking forward to this day.
Because of the production issue, the first batch of crops was sweet potatoes, which had the highest production among all foods.
From the day this batch of sweet potatoes was planted, it was taken care of by the people of the base. Because this is the first batch of food planted by the Hope Base, the two reclaimed mountains are protected by all the people in the base. If you want to work on the mountain, you must have a pass from the logistics department.
People who have not received the planting task always like to look at the two mountains when they have nothing to do. Whenever they see the green color of the mountains become more intense, they have more hope in their hearts.
And those who have just arrived at the base, when they know that the two mountains are growing sweet potatoes, their reaction is more like crying with joy. They came to the Hope Base just to give it a try, but they didn't expect that the Hope Base would give them such a big surprise.
They waited and waited, and finally the day of harvest came.
Because it was the first batch of food, Li Xue also attached great importance to it. On the day of the harvest, Jian Hui and Xiao Ye specially organized a harvest party in the small square. Those who were able to participate in the harvest were all the first residents of the base, those who insisted on staying with the base when the Hope Base was besieged by zombies.
They carried hoes in their hands and baskets on their shoulders, standing in the square with joy on their faces, accepting the envious eyes of those who could not participate in the harvest.
After Li Xue said a few simple words of thanks to everyone, she led the people who participated in the harvest and walked towards the mountain.
This batch of sweet potatoes grew very well. When it was time to harvest, the vines of the sweet potatoes were still very lush and tender. These vines can also be used as food. In the end times, no one will throw them away. The vines were harvested, carried to the small square, and distributed to the people who had been waiting there.
Then, after Li Xue dug out the first sweet potato, everyone started digging.
Ordinary people used hoes to carefully dig in the ground, fearing that they would damage it and make it difficult to store. The earth-based ability users did not have this concern. With a wave of their hands, the ground shook, and the sweet potatoes growing in the ground were exposed, without a trace of soil. The people in charge of transportation picked up the sweet potatoes, transported them to the small square, weighed them, and counted them.
Another group of people in charge of planting began to plant sweet potato seedlings again on the land that had just been vacated. The population of the base is large, how can this crop of sweet potatoes be enough?
It took a total of four days to harvest and plant the sweet potatoes on the two mountains.
Because the seeds of these sweet potatoes came from Li Xue's space, and people took good care of them, this batch of sweet potatoes was a bumper harvest, with an output of 10,000 catties per mu. This output value was not common before the end of the world.
The total cultivated land of Hope Base is almost 500 mu. (If the total area of the base had not been taken into consideration, the amount of cultivated land would definitely be more than it is now.) Therefore, Hope Base harvested nearly 5 million catties of sweet potatoes this time, which is twice as much as the food that Li Xue sold to H Base.
You have to know that H Base has a population of one million, while Hope Base has less than 10,000 people so far. If these sweet potatoes are divided according to the number of people, it will be 500 catties per person!
