"Are you okay?" Han Lie helped Shangguan Wan sit on the bed, and his big palm rubbed her back again and again.
"I'm fine." Shangguan Wan's voice was a little hoarse.
"Then is there any way to solve this problem? We won't be able to hold on for long if we continue like this." Han Lie frowned, his face full of worry.
"This is an unsolvable problem, but it's also the most important. In the previous life, someone at the base was researching how to use wood-type mutants to create dishes, but they all tasted terrible. Some people had no choice but to eat them anyway, eventually dying of stomach perforations. When they were dying, many people would compete for their flesh, exchanging crystal cores for it. Just for their loved ones."
"Later on, Commander Wen will open up to the public. Food and items can be exchanged for crystal cores. Some people who can't afford the crystal cores will be kicked out of the base, so there will be a refugee zone."
"You see, personnel are constantly coming into the base, but how do you know how many people are being sent out every day?"
"Are there any more being sent out?"
"Of course. If you don't believe me, go to the gate of the base at night and see how pitiful the people there are."
"I really didn't expect he has reached this point." Han Lie knew that Shangguan Wan would not lie to him, so this matter must be true, but he just hadn't received the news yet.
"That's not enough. In another six months, those who have nothing to eat in the base will start stealing or going straight to the refugee camp. They'll throw a few crystal cores and exchange them for children, the elderly, or women. The elderly will probably be eaten directly, and the children and women will be even worse off. They won't be able to escape the ravages of those people."
Shangguan Wan had experienced it once after all, so she felt that it no longer interested her. In her previous life, she was relatively single and only cared about her own family, and did not participate in these disgusting activities in the base.
In my previous life, I had superpowers so I didn't fall to the point of being bullied by others.
"It's really abominable. Is no one doing anything?"
"Who cares? You, me, and the people in the base, it's good enough they didn't get involved. Besides, can you really save so many people? Don't let your imagination run wild. If you save someone, you'll upset the balance of the base and become everyone's mortal enemy. There's a chance the people you saved will even bite you back."
"Wanwan, have you experienced all of this, and have you been plotted against by others?" Han Lie felt sorry for Shangguan Wan in his previous life. She was walking on thin ice alone in this apocalypse.
"Not really, because I have special abilities, and the base still supplies food."
Han Lie breathed a sigh of relief. It was a blessing in disguise, otherwise he would have blamed himself so much. They were in the same base, so why hadn't he seen her?
Otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered so much and died in the end.
"But that won't be a problem right now. Many people in the base have collected and stored a lot of food, enough for them to last for six months."
Shangguan Wan knew that those problems only occurred half a year later, and this period was relatively peaceful.
"But Wanwan, so many of us can't last half a year. Even if the food in all the spaces combined can't last more than half a year, we still have to find a way to grow crops." Han Lie didn't know how big Shangguan Wan's space was, nor how much food was inside. He just roughly estimated the number of people they had, but there were so many of them that it was not enough to eat.
"Haha, don't worry. The food in my space is enough for all of us to eat for a year and a half, not counting meat. What's more, I can grow vegetables and fruits in my space, so we can eat them for three to five years without any problem. But the prerequisite is to find vegetable seeds first. A big problem I have is that I don't know how to grow seedlings. Some seeds will not produce anything when thrown into the ground." Shangguan Wan gave a brief introduction to the situation in her space. It was not that she exaggerated, but the plants in the space grew very fast. Of course, there were also failures. The piece of land where she planted tomatoes had no seedlings. She checked with her mind from time to time, but there was nothing.
Han Lie looked at Shangguan Wan's helpless expression and thought she was particularly cute.
"Oh my, even such a powerful wife of mine can be stumped sometimes!" Han Lie lifted Shangguan Wan's chin with his slender hand and teased her.
"Of course there are things I don't know, and there are a lot of them. After all, no one is perfect." Shangguan Wan did not play around because of Han Lie's joke. Instead, she answered the question very seriously because she seriously realized that there were still many things she didn't know.
"You, no matter what, are the best in my heart." Han Lie looked at Shangguan Wan's serious expression and knew that she had started thinking about other things again. He wanted her to relax and play with her, but she didn't have the mind to do so.
He felt that he was a man and he should just worry about these things, and she should just be responsible for being beautiful and happy. He didn't want her to be so tired. In his heart, no one in the world was more important than her.
