Chapter 141

Waste Land

During this period of time, Fang Xin stayed in the house and did not go out.

After being corroded by acid rain, the land has lost its vitality and has become a gray and dilapidated scene.

According to tests conducted by experts at the base, crops can be grown on the current land, but the growth of the crops will not be very good. There is a high probability that there will be no harvest, or the harvest will be greatly reduced.

Less than one-third of the green plants on Earth are alive.

This means that green plants in the outside world are on the verge of extinction.

Who would have thought that green plants would become a rare species?

Fang Xin had nothing to do, so he dug some soil from outside and divided it into two pots.

It is not impossible to repair the soil damaged by acid rain; it just takes some time.

Using slaked lime is the most effective method.

It can improve the acid-base balance of the soil.

Organic fertilizers are also acceptable.

The soil was a little moist, so Fang Xin put some quicklime into one of the pots to see the effect.

Put some space in another pot and bury the chopped straw in the soil.

Fang Xin wanted to see if the plants in her space could also repair the soil.

After preparing the two pots of soil, I placed them directly in the living room. Let them sit for a few days before planting them.

After preparing the soil, they drilled into the space and planted corn on the land.

Planting is also good.

With the help of machines, the crops can be planted quickly.

Food is even more scarce now, and she feels it would be a waste of resources if she doesn't plant something on this empty piece of land.

When the corn is ripe, half of the harvest will be green corn, and the other half will be corn cobs, which will be ground into flour or corn grits as food.

The two elders have harvested another batch of vegetables from their planting area in the past few days.

Now both sides have been harvested.

Although the land outside cannot be used for planting, there is soil supply from the planting area and vegetables and food are not in short supply, so ordinary survivors can have a meal from time to time.

Because of this, the base did not fall into a state of panic.

Within a few days, the acid rain water on the road had dried up, the sky cleared up, and there was no sign of rain, so the survivors went out to carry out their missions.

Fang Xin watched the other survivors start to get busy, and his mood actually began to relax.

Just then there was a knock on the door.

Gouzi heard the noise and opened the door.

The dog can tell whether the voice is familiar or not. If it is a stranger, the dog will completely ignore the person knocking on the door.

The door opened, and it was Yu Keke.

"Hi, Xinxin." Yu Keke greeted warmly and walked into the door with her long legs.

"How come you have time to come here? Why don't you do your mission?"

"I came here to discuss this with you, to ask if you want to go out with us on this mission."

Fang Xin replied subconsciously, "No, you guys go ahead."

"Go ahead. It's so boring to be alone at home."

Fang Xin suddenly realized something. Yes, she always stayed at home and never went out. So where did she get the points to support herself? She had not earned any points since she came to the base.

She was now within the old man Yan's field of vision and completely exposed to him.

Everything unreasonable will attract the attention of the shrewd old man.

Fang Xin just felt a headache. It seemed that he had to go out and do something to hide his tracks.

"What mission?"

"We are going out to rescue an important scientific talent this time. If we succeed in the rescue, we will get 5,000 points."

Having said that, Yu Keke sat down on the sofa, poured herself a glass of water, picked up the cup and took a sip.

There were only 5,000 points, and if several people shared any of them there would be nothing left, Fang Xin secretly complained in his heart.

"It's in City C. It's not too far away. It's quite close. You can go there."

"Okay, when do we leave?"

Yu Keke's eyes lit up when she heard Fang Xin agree, "Really? That's great. Let's get ready and set off tomorrow."

"Okay, call me before you leave tomorrow."

"Okay, no problem." Yu Keke said and took another sip of water.

I turned around and saw two pots of soil in the corner of the living room. “Why are there two pots of soil here?”

Fang Xin raised his eyes and said, "This is the wasteland outside. Let me see if I can repair it."

"oh."

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your thing. I'll call you tomorrow." Yu Keke stood up and walked away with her long legs.

Fang Xin saw that she still had time to leave the base. She couldn't drive a van when going out on a mission because the maneuverability of a van was too poor, so she had to change to a car.

So she walked for half an hour before leaving the base.

About twenty minutes after leaving the base, I heard rustling footsteps behind me.

She had lived in the apocalypse for many years, so she could sense the ill intentions immediately. She remained calm and continued walking.

"Brother, I've been observing this girl for a long time. She's usually alone. The three of us can easily take her down."

"Then we stole her card and forced her to exchange it for points. Look at the way she's dressed, she must have a lot of points."

"The points in her card must be enough for us brothers to eat for a long time."

The three of them listened to the younger brother's report, their calculations clacking in their hearts, and they felt quite happy at the same time, as this deal was really a very good deal.

They often do this kind of thing, snatching up single women, and they dare not say anything, let alone expose it. It's really a lucrative business.

Fang Xin was walking in front, listening to their sure-win conspiracy, and the corners of his lips curled up.

After walking for more than ten minutes, we finally arrived at a deserted ruin. There was dilapidated building debris all around. After an acid rain, the land turned gray, and the outside world was even more dilapidated and desolate.

The three of them looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so they quickened their pace and blocked Fang Xin's way.

The three men were slovenly and their clothes looked like they had been washed out of a stinky ditch, emitting a foul, sour odor.

Fang Xin held his breath in disgust and took a step back.

This action gave the three men strong confidence and they thought she was afraid.

So the three of them moved forward even more recklessly.

The three men drew their daggers from their waists and kept approaching with their yellow teeth bared.

"Little sister, be sensible and take out all your valuables. We will make things easier for you."

"Yes, to avoid physical pain, take off all your clothes and hand them over to us obediently."

The man touched his nose and said with a wicked smile, "Take the initiative yourself. We will definitely be sympathetic and considerate to you. Otherwise, don't..."

Before he could finish his words, Fang Xin flashed forward at an extremely fast speed and kicked the man in the crotch.

How could a man with such a thin body withstand such a fierce kick from Fang Xin?

"Bang!"

The man was kicked away by Fang Xin like a chick.

"call out."

The man's body drew a beautiful arc in the air like a parabola, and then crashed into the ruins in the distance with a thud.

Splashes of dust were raised.

"Ahem."

The man in the ruins propped himself up with his arms and kept coughing. He felt as if his internal organs were broken.
