Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian were both surprised to hear that Xia Lunong was looking for mutant plants.

Neither of them expected things to unfold like this.

Yan Xinian said, "If this thing can really be done, it will be of great benefit to our base."

Xia Huoqu disagreed, "This is just Xiao Nong's personal behavior, what does it have to do with our base?"

"How can it have nothing to do with it?" Yan Xinian smiled and said, "Now that the new era has begun, although humans are still very weak and do not have an advantage in the entire nature, as we develop, humans will become stronger and stronger. We must always live, and the base must also develop. If Xiao Nong can build a medicine garden, it will be a great thing for both us and the entire base."

Xia Lunong's eyes were filled with longing after hearing what Yan Xinian said.

Xia Huoqu glanced at Yan Xinian and said, "The development of the base is such a big thing, don't put all the pressure on Xiao Nong."

Yan Xinian hurriedly explained, "You are wrongly accusing me. I just think this is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. If the medicine garden is really built, if there is anything you need help with, Xiao Nong, just tell me directly. We can provide manpower and technology."

"It's too early to talk about this now. Don't take advantage of Xiao Nong and Kong Zhi." Xia Huoqu denied him mercilessly, then turned to his brother and warned, "The medicine garden thing can indeed be done. Once you've done it, it will be your private garden and we won't interfere."

Xia Lunong felt his brother's protectiveness and hurriedly said, "Brother Xi Nian was just saying that. We are a member of the base. If the base is willing to give us policy support, it would be great to rely on the base to make a fortune."

Xia Huoqu said, "We should have supported you, but now everything is not perfect. We have to wait and see what we should do."

Xia Lunong smiled . "Then let's talk about it after we slowly build the medicine garden."

Xia Huoqu nodded and asked him, "Where do you want to build this medicine garden?"

Xia Lunong said excitedly, "I just talked about it today, and I still have no idea now. Brother, do you have any suggestions? Where do you think is better? Otherwise, we build it in the valley where we graze sheep. What do you think?"

Xia Huoqu denied it, "The valley where we graze sheep is too far away and it's not safe. If we want to put it, we have to put it in a safe place."

Xia Lunong said, "Don't be afraid, those are mutant plants, which are inherently aggressive. No one should dare to attack them."

"That may not be the case." Xia Huoqu glanced at him. "No matter how cunning the mutant plants are, they can't be more cunning than humans. If humans want to steal medicine, they can just take an armed team and steal anything."

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi looked at each other and thought for a while. "Then why not build it in the plains at the foot of the mountain? There are people coming and going in the plains, so they shouldn't attack the mutant plants?"

This time it was Yan Xinian who objected. "That won't work either. If the reputation of the medicinal plants gets out, everyone will soon know their details. As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a jade. If we put it in front of everyone, Too many is not a good thing."

Xia Lunong spread her hands, "I can think of these two places for now, otherwise where do you think they should be planted?"

Xia Huoqu said lightly: "Let's discuss it again, think about it carefully, anyway, you haven't convinced a single mutant plant yet, where to plant them is something you need to consider in the future."

This is the only way now, Xia Lunong changed the subject, "Brother, Brother Xinian, the rice seedlings have begun to grow now. You can go and take a look to see if they are enough. If not, I will let them grow more."

Speaking of this topic, Yan Xinian smiled.

He gave Xia Lunong a thumbs up, "Good, very good! Much better than last year. With your ability, Xiao Nong, and the seeds from the Fire Base, we will definitely have a bumper harvest this year."

"I feel the same, at least we don't have to eat sweet potatoes this year." Xia Lunong showed a lingering fear on her face, "I was scared of eating sweet potatoes last year."

Kong Zhi touched his head beside him.

Yan Xinian was also upset by his words. He looked at Xia Huoqu and sighed silently.

As the main person in building the base, he actually had no shortage of supplies.

Xia Huoqu refused to accept his supplies, otherwise life would not have been so difficult.

Every time he thought of this, his heart ached.

Xia Huoqu knew what he was thinking at a glance, and his brows twitched slightly.

Yan Xinian wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words when they came to his throat. The remaining half of his breath was stuck in his chest, half sour and half bitter.

He took a deep breath and smiled, "Fortunately, everything is over, and things will get better and better in the future."

Xia Lunong didn't feel the sadness in his words, and nodded vigorously, full of confidence.

Young people always look forward.

Xia Lunong smiled and said, "This year, the land we can cultivate has greatly increased, the number of base members has also increased, and we have the assistance of agricultural machinery. I was thinking, should we plant some corn this year?"

Yan Xinian raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Why did you suddenly think of planting corn?"

Xia Lunong explained, "It's not that there is no shortage of food and vegetables this year, so we have to ensure meat. If we just rely on going out hunting on weekdays, the meat will become less and less, and we still have to raise it ourselves to supplement it.

"We should start raising livestock gradually. Let's try growing some corn and soybeans this year. We can just expand the land at the foot of the mountain a little bit." Xia Lunong said, "That's what I thought. Soybeans and corn are both high-yield. If there are wild animals, we can hunt them." Yan

Xinian smiled and said

, "It's settled. I'll have someone bring a plan to you tomorrow. Please give it your opinion."

"No problem." Xia Lunong said, "Since we are going to develop the aquaculture industry, why don't we raise more fish?"

Yan Xinian knew that he loved to eat fish, so he smiled when he heard this, "We are planning it. Don't worry, isn't there a moat outside? We can put a big net on both sides of the moat to block it, and then we can raise fish in the moat, and even save the pond."

Xia Lunong's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea! It's spring, and there are more ants outside. Today I heard from the people in the cafeteria that they caught a nest of big ants. There were eight baskets of ants piled up in the cafeteria, and no one was willing to exchange them. I was saying that if we raised fish, we could grind ants and other large insects into powder and make them into feed, which would be great for raising fish."

Yan Xinian said, "Don't worry, your brother and I are planning. Anyway, we will gradually equip ourselves with what we need. We will eat enough this year and try to eat well next year."

Xia Huo said, "The plans of the base are all in the white building. If you have time, go and have a look. I'll say hello to them."

There are more and more people in their base, and things are getting more complicated.

Now the white building has been expanded and officially turned into an office building, which is in charge of all the affairs of the base. The management committee of the base has also moved in there.

Xia Lunong heard that there are also special security personnel there. I haven't had the time to see it yet.

Xia Lunong nodded, "When I'm free, Kong Zhi and I will go and have a look."

After dinner, the four of them chatted for a while and went back to sleep.

Xia Lunong kept thinking about the mutated plants in her heart. She thought too much and her sleepiness went away.

Kong Zhi came back from washing up and saw him lying on the bed with his eyes wide open. I don't know what he was thinking about. Standing beside the bed, he reached out and touched his cheek, "You're almost staring a hole in the ceiling. What are you thinking about so intently?"

"I'm just thinking about where to plant the mutant plants after we dig them up." Xia Lunong turned to him and said, "I think what Brother Xi Nian said is right. The medicine garden may be our big killer in the future. There are not many people now. If we don't consider the location carefully, it may be very troublesome when more people come in the future and there will be a mix of good and bad people." Kong Zhi

said casually, "There are not many people now, so there is no need to hire people specially. As long as we don't plant it too far away, the mutant plants will be fine ." The alien plants can guard and send messages by themselves. When there are more people in the future, our security force will be greatly enhanced, and there is no need to specially invite people to come. Let my brother and his team send a team to guard it. "

Xia Lunong asked: "Where should we plant it if it is not too far away? In the vegetable garden outside?"

Xia Lunong thought about it and felt that it was not impossible to plant it in the vegetable garden. The soil in their vegetable garden is very fertile and convenient to water and supervise.

Kong Zhi shook his head, "It is better to plant it directly in the yard than in the vegetable garden. Our front and back yards are so big, it is a waste to use them only to grow vegetables."

Xia Lunong was stunned. He didn't think of this.

Now reminded by Kong Zhiyi, he immediately stood up and patted his thigh, "What you said makes sense!"

Kong Zhi pulled him down, with a smile in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Don't get excited, Rose will hear it again."

"Who cares." Xia Lunong thought more and more that it was feasible, and said in a low voice, "This is really a genius idea, we can plant it in the yard, in terms of security, our yard is the core of the entire base, and there are people on guard outside. In terms of security, there is a row of prickly ash trees and honeysuckle outside, which block the yard tightly, and ordinary people can't see in."

"Planting in the yard will also make it convenient for us to communicate with them."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xia Lunong said in a loud voice, "We can go out every morning to talk to the mutant plants, and I can also use some supernatural powers on them."

Xia Lunong slapped his head and said, "I am so stupid, why didn't I think of this, it's really a problem of inertial thinking." Kong

Zhi heard him slap his head and rubbed his head helplessly.

The more Xia Lunong thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He wanted to go out and dig a tree pit right now to prepare to transplant the mutant plants.

He held Kong Zhi's hand and murmured, "Planting them in the yard is not only convenient for care, but also for monitoring. We will know in time if anything happens."

"That's the reason."

Xia Lunong said, "In that case, we don't have to worry about something going wrong inside the mutated plants."

Kong Zhi saw that he was really excited, so he sat on the bed and asked, "Are you going to sleep or not?"

"Sleep!" Xia Lunong made room for Kong Zhi, lay down and covered herself with the quilt. She was still very excited, with her eyes wide open, not even a trace of sleepiness.

Kong Zhi turned his head and stared at him, "Can't sleep? Let's do something else to divert our attention?"

Xia Lunong understood immediately and said in a low voice with embarrassment: "Are you coming again today? Didn't we come yesterday and the day before yesterday? We are running low on ammunition!"

Kong Zhi stared at his face and said in a hoarse voice: "We will know if it is enough if we try it."
