Chapter 309: Vegetable Planting at the Base
Within three days, the news that people in Villa Area No. 3 were growing vegetables spread throughout the entire security base.
Now the safe base was surrounded by unknown plants. Although they were safe, they also lost their freedom. The plan to go out and hunt zombies to obtain crystal cores to upgrade their abilities was also put on hold.
Without crystal cores, water and some food need to be exchanged with others using crystal cores. In the base, stalls have been set up in the mission hall and on both sides of the streets and alleys. The stalls are filled with food or various strange items stored by the stall owners.
As long as you can afford the crystal core, you can even buy a virgin girl, which was extremely rare before the end of the world.
The first to imitate Villa No. 3 to grow vegetables were Li Qing's team. His team was almost made up of ordinary people. They didn't have the physical fitness of the superpowers to withstand hunger, but their demand for food was no less than that of the superpowers.
Soon after, the team of Saifuding also started the planting mode. The people from the two forces planted all kinds of vegetable and fruit seeds inside and outside the villa area. For a time, a trend of planting vegetables arose in the safe base.
Those small teams and small forces began to follow their example and plant fruits and vegetables. Of course, all the fruit and vegetable seeds needed for planting, including the food support that Hua Yang advanced to the teams, required these people to pay crystal cores as a deposit.
People living in the villa area can just plant crops in the yard of their villa if they want to. Those who live in the newly renovated former small high-rise villa area are in a more miserable situation.
The reason why they live here is that they are ordinary people who have not joined any forces and have not awakened. It is more difficult for them to get food than those with special abilities. Even if they want to farm, they don’t even have a crystal core. How can they exchange seeds?
Even if they bought the seeds, what about the land? Did they just throw the seeds on the ground? Wait for the seeds to blossom and bear fruit. The concrete road was so hard that it was impossible to plant anything. So they scraped together some food, a bunch of rotten bananas, a few canned meats that had exceeded their expiration date, and a few packs of biscuits, and invited five earth-type psychics.
After the unremitting efforts of the five earth-type supernatural beings, the ground in front and behind their houses was transformed into arable land. Then ordinary people began to return to farming life, saving the remaining food every day, and they believed that the fruits and vegetables they planted would be edible soon.
That day, Hua Yang took her mother, Gu Xiaoyue, Yaya and Xiao Ming to visit various stalls in the safe base. Suddenly, when they passed by a stall, Xiao Ming was standing in front of a stall set up by a thin woman, looking at something on the stall with no rationality.
Following his line of sight, he saw a pile of children's toys, including dolls, cars, rockets, and even a complete set of children's building blocks.
When Xiao Ming saw Hua Yang and the others were looking at him, he turned his head away embarrassedly and moved his steps reluctantly.
Hua Yang's lips curled up. After all, she was only a seven-year-old child. So she walked towards the owner of the stall, the thin woman.
"Boss, how much are these toys?"
The woman looked lifeless with her eyes, holding her stomach with both hands, looking at Hua Yang listlessly. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "No, I don't want money. I'll give it to you."
Hua Yang asked in surprise, "Name a price, I want all of them." Hua Yang ignored the expectation in the woman's eyes.
"Captain Hua Yang, I really don't need the crystal core. As long as you can take me in, I'll give you all these toys. The child is still so young, and these toys must be in short supply."
Hua Yang frowned and reached into her pocket to take out the crystal core, which she actually took out from the space.
After counting, he said, "There are ten crystal cores in total. If you want to sell them, just pack them up."
The woman saw that Hua Yang didn't pay any attention to what she said, but she looked at the crystal core in Hua Yang's hand and sighed. "Deal!"
But Xiao Ming rushed over to take the crystal core back from the woman's hand. The woman's body shook, and she looked at Xiao Ming with a smile, "Little guy, there is an old saying that goes, once you buy it, you have to accept it. Look at how nice your sister is. She bought you so many toys because she saw that you liked them. Don't be so happy!"
"You!" Xiao Ming stared at the woman fiercely, then turned to look at Hua Yang. "Sister, I don't want the toy. Let's return the toy and use the crystal core to buy something else useful."
Seeing that Hua Yang was actually considering it, the thin stall owner stood up and said anxiously, "Oh, okay. It's my bad luck. You can take all these toys. I'll give you something good, I guarantee you'll like it!" As the woman spoke, she opened the box at her feet and saw that there was a stack of papers inside.
Hua Yang picked it up and looked at it. "Primary school, middle school, and high school papers?" Hua Yang found it funny. Is this what they call a good thing? Although educational resources have declined after the end of the world, she doesn't want to use this thing to harm her children. Just look at Yaya's green face when she looks at the stack of papers there, and you can tell how much that thing scares the children.
In order to prevent the thin woman from saying anything irrelevant again, Hua Yang gave her the crystal core, took the toys in the bag and left. Before leaving, the thin woman stuffed the stack of papers into Hua Yang's bag.
Xie Xiaoling secluded herself in the house for three days and successfully upgraded her supernatural power to level 3. However, when Hua Shinian was training her supernatural power, something went wrong.
"Yangyang, come with me quickly, Shinian is dying." Xie Xiaoling cried and spoke with tears and snot all over her face, her face full of tension and fear.
Hua Yang was startled, "Where's Wu Shuang?"
"Sister Wu Shuang has arrived."
Xie Xiaoling cried even harder, "I've been treating him, but it's useless. But at least I only use healing abilities."
Hua Yang turned around and ran at a very fast speed, and soon returned to Villa Area No. 3.
When he saw Hua Shinian lying on the cold operating table with a pale face, Wu Shuang, who was emitting green light all over, was non-stop injecting healing energy into Hua Shinian and immediately gave him a large bottle of spiritual water to drink.
"How could he be like this?"
Hua Yang's question made everyone present hesitate to speak. Qin Mei was the first to speak.
"Yangyang, this matter is actually nothing. Xiaoling wants to train her superpowers? And your brother volunteered to be the one who trains her superpowers for him."
"What? Xiaoling's ability!?"
Hua Yang approached Hua Shinian and continued to pour spiritual water into him. But he seemed to have no signs of waking up. There were no scars on his body, but why didn't he wake up? It seemed that she had to wait for Gu Xiaoyue and Wu Tianqi to give Hua Shinian a comprehensive examination.
At this time, Xie Xiaoling had also returned. She stood in front of Hua Yang with her head down, looking very apologetic. "Sister Hua Yang, hit me. It's all because of me that Shi Nian suddenly became like this."
Hua Yang sighed, and suddenly became very angry, "Even if your ability is useless, it is still an ability, don't you know that!"
Xie Xiaoling was stunned for a moment, then cried even harder. "I'm sorry!"
"My brother is still an ordinary person. Did you think about his safety when you used him to practice supernatural powers?"
