Stamford sneered, "Olivia has underestimated Lin Ruo. Although Lin Ruo isn't officially affiliated with the B City base, look at the information we've gathered. What kind of compensation did she receive for cooperating with the B City base? Mutant beast corpses and crystal cores. Do you think she lacks those things given her strength? What's the difference between this and indirectly giving things to the B City base?"
"In her view, as long as it does not threaten her principles, she is still willing to give the people of Z country some convenience. If she did not think that way, why would she repeatedly trade good things with the B City base? Because the B City base is the only official base of Z country."
"Even if what Olivia gives is the best, can it be more valuable than the entire M country base? Lin Ruo doesn't even care about that, why would he care about the gift Olivia gives him?"
Stamf paused slightly at this point, then smiled and said, "You should be glad Lin Ruo thinks that way. If she could really be bribed, we would be in real danger. The Y Country base and the F Country base are much more warlike than the B City base."
Stamford narrowed his eyes slightly. How could he not understand Olivia's thoughts? To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he had dealt with the people of China for so many years and understood their mentality very well, he would have done the same thing as her. Whoever gets such a powerful weapon can dominate the world. Who wouldn't want it?
After obtaining it, he would naturally conquer the world and use all the resources to develop himself. Just imagining that scene is wonderful, but he knows that it is impossible to achieve.
After this brief explanation, the subordinate immediately understood, "Then we are also in danger. If the B City base really goes to war with us, will Lin Ruo also help them?"
Stamford shook his head. "There's no need to worry about that. The B City base won't want to start a war for the next few years unless someone keeps provoking them."
"With natural disasters constantly occurring in this apocalyptic world, smart people will seize the opportunity to strengthen themselves while they are safe, rather than engaging in petty actions. In the face of global natural disasters, survival is the most important thing."
“But natural disasters always pass eventually,” the subordinate said, still somewhat worried. “What should we do then?”
"Lin Ruo won't participate in this kind of war. Do you think we'd be afraid of the B City base then?"
Seeing that Lin Ruo hasn't joined the B City base yet, he knows she must have her reasons, so he's not worried. As long as Lin Ruo doesn't participate, how could he possibly back down?
“Prepare some suitable gifts,” Stamford concluded. “Since they have all prepared gifts, we should naturally prepare some as well. Prepare one for the B City base and one for Lin Ruo. They don’t need to be too expensive.”
"yes!"
...
The warm sunlight shone directly on the earth. Outside the city wall of City C, dozens of people were circling around a piece of land. This piece of land was about ten acres in size, and neat ridges had been built in the middle to divide the land into equal parts.
Several earth-type and metal-type ability users are building another wall around this land in order to protect it.
At the same time, several people poured several bottles of light pink potion into a pre-prepared water tank. The water tank was filled with water, and the pink potion immediately mixed with the water, fading in color until it disappeared completely. Someone used a special stick to stir it a few times. After the solution was completely homogenized, they picked up an instrument and measured it to confirm the accuracy of the value before nodding to the water-type ability user next to them.
The water-elemental ability user immediately concentrated his mental energy, and the water in the tank quickly split into small streams, flying towards the land and finally spreading evenly on the ground.
Once the water has fully seeped into the soil, the earth-elemental ability user will continuously turn over the soil to allow the solution to fully integrate with the soil below.
Once the surface soil had softened, someone else stepped forward, took an instrument, and deeply inserted it into the soil to begin taking measurements, with an experimenter recording the values.
Once the values were confirmed to be accurate, the wood-type ability users began to manipulate their abilities and plant the seeds placed nearby in the ground.
The entire process was done using superpowers, making it convenient and quick. If this job were done by an ordinary survivor, it would take at least a whole day to complete. But with the help of superpowered individuals, all the rows of seeds were planted in less than an hour.
The seeds fell to the ground, and a level four wood-type ability user stepped forward and began to activate her ability. The crops on the ground quickly grew. Although it was still a bit far-fetched for this ability user to control ten acres of land, the seedlings had not matured when her energy was exhausted, but they had all grown to 20 centimeters tall. Most importantly, when the ability user's ability was exhausted, the seedlings were still alive and did not die.
Seeing this scene, everyone present smiled happily. Now that all this land can be cultivated, will they still have to worry about not having enough food to eat in the future?
Previously, each person could only control a limited area of land with their special abilities, and the soil required professional treatment. Moreover, the soil could not be used indefinitely. Each time they planted ordinary crops, the crops had to mature in one go, otherwise they would wither. Therefore, their efficiency in growing food was very low.
But now they can plant directly on this land, and they no longer have to worry about these ordinary crops withering. Moreover, a level four ability user can plant ten acres of land and harvest several times a day. With this guaranteed yield, they no longer have to worry about food shortages.
"Great! Our experiment was a success!" A lab technician in a white coat finished writing the last entry in the lab manual, looked up at the gratifying result, and almost burst into tears of joy.
"Earth-type and metal-type ability users, stay and continue to expand the city wall area. Wood-type ability users, cultivate the land as much as possible. The rest of you, come back with me and report this good news to the base commander."
The captain of the superpowered team was issuing orders methodically, but his highly inflected tone revealed his very pleasant mood.
Xu Chenfeng was reviewing experimental data in his office when he suddenly heard footsteps. He looked up and saw the lab technician he had sent out that day excitedly preparing to knock on the door.
"Come in."
