Chapter 404 Arranged Clearly
After the number of people at Dawn Base increased, many things began to become scarce.
Especially clothing, home textiles, daily necessities, as well as agricultural machinery, tools, pots, pans, and other daily necessities.
They didn't have these needs when they didn't have enough to eat. Now that they have enough to eat, they pursue a higher quality of life, and their needs have increased.
In addition to these, a large number of seeds and poultry are needed to expand the scale of the farms so that meat can be supplied as soon as possible.
There are also the precision experimental instruments and various precious metals that Chen Bolang needs.
When the reserves of these things are insufficient, we need to find a way to obtain them.
On the one hand, they build their own production lines to manufacture the raw materials.
At this point, we have to give credit to Ye Lichuan, the deputy base commander.
He doesn't allow many production lines to be built inside the base; they have to be built on the outskirts of the base.
In Ye Lichuan's words, some production is really too polluting to the environment. How can such a good place as Dawn Base be polluted?
These polluting products are all manufactured outside the factory.
For example, plastic factories, rubber factories, steel factories, and the like are absolutely not allowed to be built on the site and pollute the beautiful scenery.
After building outside the base, just send some superhumans to patrol and protect it.
If the weather is too cold, coal will be used to heat the factory buildings.
The resources consumed are far more cost-effective than polluting the environment within the base.
So these manufacturing plants were moved to be built outside the base.
On the other hand, the Dawn Base's external sales building updated its transaction catalog.
Dawn Base is now buying up all kinds of daily necessities, agricultural supplies, experimental materials, seeds, coal, and various raw materials.
But it needs to be brand new; I don't want dirty or broken things that I've picked up.
This is great news for people.
In the early days of the apocalypse, when order collapsed, all kinds of resources were divided up among the people.
However, many supplies are useless if kept in hand.
For example, agricultural supplies. Now that the land can't be cultivated, what's the point of having agricultural supplies?
Who knew that Dawn Base was actually buying things, and even exchanging them for crops, at a pretty good price.
Immediately, forces of all sizes wanted to bring their useless stockpiles to the Dawn Base to exchange for crops.
In the apocalypse, having crops is the key to survival.
As long as you have enough crops, you can get whatever you want.
The temperature has now dropped to minus fifty degrees Celsius, and the relentless heavy snow has covered the ground with a thick layer, burying buildings and roads.
This poses a significant challenge for travelers.
Inside bases with superhumans, they can even carve out a path to transport supplies to the Dawn Base.
But you can only pull a little bit at a time.
In the year of the apocalypse, people were desperate and there was a lot of robbery. The roads were difficult to travel, and in short, there was a lot of trouble.
Even if some smaller factions have supplies, they are unable to reach the Dawn Base due to the extreme cold and heavy snow.
This extreme cold is a huge challenge for all of humanity.
Soon, Dawn Base released a new policy online.
#If any base wants to exchange supplies for crops, and the quantity is large enough, or if there is a large quantity from the same city, please send a list of supplies and the supplies you wish to exchange to the Dawn Base. We will provide door-to-door delivery service.#
The service was exceptionally attentive.
Those people with supplies can't get out, but the people from Dawn Base can.
Dawn Base has space cards that can be used to expand the space, making each one comparable to a space ability user.
They carry crops in their card space, so they can go there easily and come back easily, completing a transaction in no time.
This is beneficial to both sides.
The Dawn Base needs supplies, and those people need food.
People online expressed various feelings after seeing this news.
—It's so cold, I'm going to die. I wish I could live in Dawn Base.
—With the entire world frozen over, only Dawn Base remains a paradise, rich in resources, and our only hope.
—You guys are really something. Who was it that criticized Dawn Base for its brutal killing of ability users? Then it turned out that the truly brutal ones were from Bear Base, and those people deserved to die. Now everyone's praising Dawn Base. You change your tune so quickly.
—I'll teach you a trick: preserve the embers of fire, and burn whatever you find outside. There aren't many supplies right now, but there's plenty of trash. As long as you stay in the city, the trash you can't burn will last you for a while.
—The main problem is that there's no food. We really can't find any food. It's all snow outside, and we can't even search for supplies.
The internet is full of people complaining about their plight, but these plights are currently unsolvable. Natural disasters won't end, and food won't suddenly appear.
The only way for people to survive this extreme cold is to stay with the base and barely survive. Those who want to survive on their own outside should have realized that they are courting death.
When the door-to-door service was made public, many bases contacted Dawn Base, wanting to exchange certain supplies for certain crops.
After Dawn Base selects the most needed items, it will send a wind-type ability user and a fire-type ability user to form a team, carrying the crops from their spatial cards to the trade.
The wind-type ability user was responsible for flying and traveling, while the fire-type ability user was responsible for maintaining the temperature. They worked together quite well.
In this way, everything at Dawn Base got back on track.
Meng Shiwan didn't need to worry about any of these things; Ye Lichuan arranged everything perfectly for her.
While other bases were struggling to survive, Dawn Base had already resumed production and entered a new phase.
That day, Meng Shiwan was watching a movie in her RV, chugging bottles of power-enhancing liquid into her mouth, with a pile of empty bottles lying around her.
She was treating the enhancement liquid like water.
There's no other way; it takes 10,000 doses of ability enhancement fluid for an eighth-level ability user to advance to ninth level.
Although breaking through to the ninth level of superpowered beings is not something that can be achieved simply by drinking enough; it also requires a special opportunity.
However, these power-enhancing fluids can still push her from the early stage of level eight to the peak of level eight. In the future, she just needs to find an opportunity to break through, and maybe she will break through.
Ten thousand vials of power-enhancing fluid is no small amount; she can only drink it like water, whenever she has a spare moment, in order to finish it as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the power-enhancing liquid has no taste; if it tasted bad, I don't know how uncomfortable it would be.
Just as Meng Shiwan was about to see the movie's ending, a head with an afro poked its head in through the open door.
Sai Xishi blinked, "Wanwan, what are you doing?"
Meng Shiwan glanced at the still-playing monitor. "Watching TV."
"Oh." Sai Xishi continued to crane her neck. "Wanwan, Tao Yarong said someone is looking for you outside the base."
Originally, it was Tao Yarong who came to inform us that Sai Xishi wanted to come and visit Meng Shiwan, and thus snatched the job.
"Looking for me? What do you want?" Meng Shiwan asked, puzzled.
She rarely manages the base's affairs now; when there's something to discuss, she goes to Ye Lichuan instead, and rarely contacts her directly.
Sai Xishi thought for a moment, "I don't know, it seems to be something very important."
Meng Shiwan got up from the sofa, turned off the monitor, and got out of the car. "Let's go see what's going on."
