Chapter 48: Searching for a New Base Location
Xu Qiaonian thought to himself: If the relationship is really that good, then why would they be on guard against my grandson? The fact that Old Man Zhou is so cautious just proves that this girl is good in every way!
Coincidentally, his eldest grandson is good in every way except that he is always busy with work and doesn't have a girlfriend.
Xu Qiaonian had some plans in mind, but laughed it off: "It's just right that Huai Jin has a good relationship with her. We are all acquaintances, so it's easier to exchange experiences. Then it's settled. If there are any results, I will give you some credit."
Seeing that Xu Qiaonian had no intention of sending his grandson over again, Mr. Zhou was relieved and laughed and scolded, "Who cares about your contribution? I'm going to eat now, we'll talk later."
After hanging up the phone, looking at Chi Wan and Zhou Huaijin bringing the food to the table one after another, Old Zhou narrowed his eyes and smiled, thinking: This is what we call a perfect match.

Chi Wan didn't know how to cook, why did Mr. Zhou look so happy? He just thought he was so happy because Su Guan He Ding looked so good.
She smiled and said, "It's not hot under the tree, Grandpa Zhou, let's eat in the yard."
Mr. Zhou naturally had no objection and finished his lunch happily.
When Zhou Huaijin went to wash the dishes, he mentioned to Chi Wan that a friend of his wanted to invite her to see the orchids.
"It's like this. My friend is crazy about orchids and is a bit stubborn. He bought a piece of wood that was said to have grown ghost orchids. He insisted that there might be ghost orchid seeds on it. Today, he saw that the orchids I posted were growing so well, so he said he wanted to ask you to help take a look.
"Wanwan, if you're willing, I'll give him your contact information. Of course, if you don't want to make a wasted trip, it's okay to refuse. After all, this doesn't sound reliable to me."
Chi Wan's heart moved when he heard this.
It was just a trip, and even if the grandfather was really cheated, she wouldn't lose anything.
However, if there really are ghost orchid seeds on the wood, as long as Li Xingye is here, the chances of cultivating them are very high!
This is an extremely rare and endangered orchid, you can only encounter it by chance!
Forget about trying to make money from ghost orchids, after all, it is against the law. But Chi Wan didn't want to miss the opportunity to see this natural miracle up close.
Therefore, she agreed without hesitation: "Grandpa Zhou, I am willing. I have never seen a ghost orchid in person. I will not miss such an opportunity~"
When Mr. Zhou heard Chi Wan say this, he thought that she agreed only for his sake. For a moment, his eyes looked at Chi Wan even softer: "Don't worry, kid, I won't let you suffer. He has a lot of good orchids. Let me pick a few seedlings for you to enrich your greenhouse."
Chi Wan was not shy at all and said with a smile: "Then I will make a lot of money~"
After Zhou Huaijin finished washing the dishes, he saw his old man and Chi Wan talking happily. He walked over with a smile and said, "What are you talking about behind my back? You look so happy."
Mr. Zhou glanced at him and raised his beard: "You, who have studied for a few more years, are still not as good as a freshman girl."
Zhou Huaijin rolled his eyes silently: "Wanwan, quickly explain to my grandfather how many orchid species there are between agronomy and botany. Don't you know how difficult it is to take care of those delicate orchids?"
Old Zhou pretended not to hear and said to Chi Wan, "Wan Wan is still very obedient. It's a pity that I only have this one grandson who only knows how to make people angry all day long."
Zhou Huaijin was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to him.
Chi Wan couldn't help but snickering as he watched the interaction between the grandfather and grandson, and then he said seriously: "Grandpa Zhou, I heard from Sister Xiaoyu that the wheat variety he and his mentor improved together has greatly increased its resistance to bacteria, and the wheat yield has also increased a lot. Senior brother is super amazing."
Zhou Huaijin's ears slightly blushed as he listened to Chi Wan's praise, and he said softly, "The teacher is awesome, I'm just following along."
Old Zhou looked at Chi Wan, then at Zhou Huaijin who seemed a little embarrassed, and stroked his beard: "I, an old man, don't understand either. If Wanwan says it's amazing, then it's amazing. Huaijin, you have to keep working hard."
Zhou Huaijin looked at his grandfather's meaningful gaze and didn't know what his grandfather was asking him to work harder on. He just felt his ears getting hotter.

Li Xingye, who was busy in the base, had no idea that his house was about to be robbed. He was now discussing the future development of the base with Qiangzi and others.
Cheng Peng pointed at the map on the screen and said, "We are the only one in Central China right now. Recently, more and more small bases want to join us. But in this case, the size of our current base is not enough."
Haozi said: "With our current production capacity, the current population is close to saturation. If we continue to recruit more people, we may run into a food shortage again."
He looked at Li Xingye and said, "But Boss, what you said before, that the soil in the space can be taken out continuously, if it is long-term, then after a period of development, it will not be a problem for the base to double in size."
Duan Qianyu has always been a simple and direct person. She asked Li Xingye: "Do you have a plan to move the base? If we stay here for a long time, then we can slowly put many large equipment on the agenda. If we want to move, we must prepare early."
Li Xingye smiled and said, "I do have a plan to move."
After he said this, everyone looked at him quietly, waiting for what to do next.
"In fact, the address of Frenzy is not a very good one. It is far away from the gathering place of sixth-level zombies just for the sake of safety." Li Xingye pointed to a place on the map and said, "If we want to develop in the long term, we must leave here and find another place to settle down.
"The size of the base that Chengzi mentioned is also a problem. After all, we will take in more and more ordinary people in the future, and there will likely be more new people born in the base. So when I was cleaning up the zombies recently, I was also looking for a suitable base address."
When Qiangzi heard what Li Xingye said, his eyes lit up: "Is there any clue?"
After all, based on his understanding of Li Xingye, he would not have said it directly if he was not absolutely sure.
Sure enough, Li Xingye nodded: "I'm going to go back to Rongcheng directly."
At the beginning, Li Xingye’s own strength was not as strong as it is now. When choosing a base, the first consideration was the safety of most people. The locations of the Frenzy and Wildfire bases were similar.
Therefore, they avoided big cities and chose to establish bases in sparsely populated mountainous areas between cities or in plains on both sides of highways.
Because the bigger the city, the more zombies there are, not to mention those high-level zombies that evolve like insects - zombies above level five or six not only have the ability to command low-level zombies, but have also slowly evolved intelligence.
It is said that there are likely to be seventh-level zombies in the center of the city.
