Chapter 104 It's really just wishful thinking.
Ma Gao suggested, "Factory manager, why don't we all hide and keep quiet until the rescue team sees no one here and leaves?"
Liu Mingliang scratched his bald head and cursed, "Are you stupid? They're superhumans, how could they not notice us?"
In the face of those with superpowers, ordinary people like them have nowhere to hide.
The animals in the factory showed signs of being fed, as well as signs of human activity. Anyone with half a brain could tell that there were survivors here.
Ma Gao was at a loss. "Then what should we do?"
Liu Mingliang thought for a moment, "Gather everyone and tell them to be quiet. If the rescue team really comes looking for us, we will all refuse to go to the base. I don't believe they can force us to go to the base."
Ma Gao nodded, "Alright, I'll go gather the brothers right now, and we'll unite against the enemy."
They refused to believe that the rescue team could forcibly abduct dozens of them if they didn't go to the base.
As it turned out, they were indeed deluding themselves.
The convoy passed the administration building without slowing down and drove directly into the factory area.
Ma Gao leaned against the window, looking somewhat bewildered at the convoy of cars driving below.
"Weren't the rescue team here looking for us? Haven't they discovered we're hiding in the administration building yet?"
A group of men had gathered around him, craning their necks to look down.
Someone pointed out, "Is it possible that the rescue team's target isn't us at all, but rather the livestock here? Our farm is the largest integrated livestock farm in Haicheng."
Ma Liang felt his heart skip a beat. "Could they be here to steal our livestock? If they take the animals away, what will we eat?... No, no, we have so many livestock here, they can't take many with them."
"What if there are spatial ability users among them?"
Marco felt a chill run down his spine. If there were someone with spatial abilities, the entire farm wouldn't be enough to move.
He squeezed through the crowd and went to report the situation to the factory manager.
If someone with spatial abilities really does empty the farm, then there's no point in them staying here.
The convoy stopped in front of a row of factory buildings. Lei Zhe jumped out of the car, walked to the factory entrance, glanced inside, and then waved to Meng Shiwan.
"Sister, come quick, this is an incubation facility, there are many incubators inside."
Modern farms are mostly mechanized; temperature control, feeding, watering, and even egg collection are all done using intelligent machinery.
All you need are employees to control these machines.
Three to five employees can manage several factories, so the farm has few employees. After they entered the factory, they didn't see many zombies along the way.
Meng Shiwan got out of the car, stepped onto the ground that had cracked from the scorching sun, walked to Lei Zhe's side, and saw rows of incubators inside the factory.
The CNC screen on the incubator was flashing, and the indicator lights were on, indicating that it was still working.
Meng Shiwan chuckled, "It seems the survivors here intend to establish themselves here long-term."
On their way there, they saw many places where power lines were on fire and large areas were without power.
Meng Shiwan was also worried that the animals in the farm might have already died from the heat.
It now appears that the large-scale farm is indeed fully equipped, even having large generators for the factory buildings.
If the survivors want to wait for the rescue team, they can just raise enough animals from the factory to feed them.
Even the hatchery is meticulously managed, clearly indicating a consideration for renewable resources and a desire to raise a continuous supply of animals for food, aiming for long-term development here.
Meng Shiwan walked in, and the entire factory was filled with rows of large incubators.
Each machine is two or three meters high and seven or eight meters long.
She opened the door of one of the incubators, and inside were countless eggs, numbering at least several thousand.
Upon closer inspection, some of the eggshells already have cracks, and the chicks inside will hatch in a few days.
Meng Shiwan closed the door and unceremoniously put the entire large incubator into the space.
Based on previous experience storing live fish in the space, and the fact that time is frozen in the space, it is possible to store living things.
When needed in the future, simply take out the incubator, reconnect it to the power, and the chicks inside can continue to hatch.
This single incubator can hatch several thousand chicks, a considerable number, yet it doesn't take up much space.
This is ideal for Meng Shiwan, who has a hard-won advantage in terms of space volume, to acquire supplies.
Lei Zhe opened an incubator and exclaimed, "My God, these rows and rows of tiny eggs, they look like quail eggs! There must be at least tens of thousands of them in this incubator!"
The density of these objects is so high that even I, someone without trypophobia, get goosebumps just looking at them.
Tao Yarong and the others also came in and were pleasantly surprised to see the incubator still in operation.
They inspected each incubator one by one.
"This box contains duck eggs."
"And goose eggs."
"This egg is huge! I've never seen one like it before. What is it?"
Lei Zhe leaned closer to take a look, "Wow, turkey eggs! They even raise turkeys."
After they inspected it, Meng Shiwan put the boxes into the storage space one by one.
There are a total of ten large incubators, three boxes of chicken eggs, two boxes of duck eggs, two boxes of goose eggs, one box of quail eggs, one box of turkey eggs, and one box of pigeon eggs.
If all of them hatch, there will be tens of thousands of poultry, a considerable number.
Meng Shiwan was in a really good mood now that the data was collected in such a space-saving way.
After emptying the factory, Meng Shiwan walked outside to a room that was buzzing with activity. Inside was a large diesel generator, with about ten barrels of diesel fuel next to it.
She stepped forward and pressed the emergency shut-off button, stopping the generator and storing it, along with the diesel drum next to it, into her storage space.
"Sister, there are several kinds of livestock raised in this factory."
Tao Yarong stood at the entrance of the factory next door and shouted.
Meng Shiwan walked over and saw cows and horses standing in their pens inside the factory, leisurely grazing.
Inside the factory, there were also pigs and sheep in pens.
There are generators to cool them, and people use automatic feeding machines to feed them at regular intervals.
These animals, lacking intelligence, lived leisurely and were unaware that the outside world had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Meng Shiwan didn't rush to collect them, but asked the others, "Who among you knows how to tell males from females? Check if they've been castrated."
Animals are castrated in order to fatten them up more.
This animal is fine to take home for meat, but don't even think about breeding it.
Reproduction is very important in the end times.
This is also very important to Meng Shiwan.
Qiu Zhiyi, who had been searching in other factories, ran over and said, "I know, I know. I studied animal anatomy when I was in school."
He ran into the factory and walked up behind a yellow ox, craning his neck to look closely.
That pose...
Lei Zhe said he couldn't bear to watch.
Even the oxen felt uncomfortable under his gaze, flicking their tails and kicking him as if trying to send him flying.
Fortunately, Qiu Zhiyi reacted quickly and nimbly dodged the attack.
He said awkwardly, "This is my first time seeing this. I need to study it. This is a bull, and it hasn't been castrated."
He moved on to the next one.
After looking through row after row, he was somewhat stunned. "These are all uncastrated animals that can reproduce. Sis, have you noticed...?"
"Found it."
Meng Shiwan replied to him, and incidentally encouraged the growth of vines to collect all the animals in the factory into her spatial dimension.
