Chapter 74

Perhaps affected by Sang Wenhao's resentment, Fu Erdie and Cen Xiyang were unable to achieve the automatic flow of their superpowers. It still depends on Fu Erdie's active control to restore their superpowers and achieve the purpose of training.

The next day, Fu Erdie, who had spent the whole night thinking about the cooperation, held a meeting with the leader of City D, Rong Le'an, and a group of City D leaders.

The two parties quickly decided to use crystal cores to exchange for ordinary mutant crops and to support intelligent mutant plants.

Fu Erdie estimated the scale of her plants and combined it with the precarious food inventory of the D City base, and said, "In forty-five days, I can give you four batches of mutant crops, an average of one batch every ten days, with 8,000 plants in one batch. By the end of next month, I can give you 30,000 plants."

"However, these mutant crops are used in the shortest possible time, so there is still a ten to twenty day adaptation period after they are released. After adaptation, the yield can be stabilized at about one kilogram per day. If the people who feed the plants are diligent in feeding them through various methods, then the yield of the mutant crops may be higher."

Ordinary mutant plants are different from intelligent mutant plants. They do not produce corrosive fluid, but instead directly absorb garbage at a slower speed.

The garbage they can absorb is not like the intelligent mutant plants that can eat anything except hard things like stones, ceramics, metals, and bricks. Ordinary mutant plants need to eat soft things, and they need nutrients that are as close to the crops or plants in nature that were grown before the end of the world.

For example, various excrement, pesticides, dead branches and leaves are the favorites of mutant crops.

If you don't have that, you can give some rags, rotten wooden stakes, or cardboard.

Really not. Softer artificial products such as plastic bags that are not easily decomposed in nature can also be used, but they are absorbed very slowly and may take a long time to grow well.

Professor Zhao has been in the community for almost half a year. During this half year, she has studied crops and gained a lot of experience. However, due to lack of manpower and energy, she has not yet mass-produced ordinary mutant crops. Now she has to start planting. If she is given 20 people, she can grow these plants quickly.

The base understood the general situation and directly stated that there were enough people in the base and Fu Erdie could have as many as she wanted.

Fu Erdie did not agree directly, but wanted to find someone who suits her eyes among the refugees outside.

After all, under the management and guidance of the base, the 30,000 people in the base all have their own work to do, and they are becoming more and more skilled.

Fu Erdie felt that instead of picking the fruits now and pulling people from the base to work in her community, it would be better to recruit a few people to work in the community long-term.

The electricians and cement workers in the community are all skilled workers sent by the base. However, the ten people responsible for the management of the other nine buildings in the community and the garden downstairs in the community are all unskilled.

In the future, these non-technical personnel will have to return to the base in City D to reunite with their families after finishing their work. So Fu Erdie might as well recruit ten people from the refugees outside to go back and have them take charge of the planting of mutant crops for forty-five days, and then replace the ten people in City D to collect the plant fruits from several buildings in the community.

The base also thought this was a good idea after hearing about it.

As for military assistance, the base really wants Fu Erdie's family to move in, but seeing that Fu Erdie wants to live a quieter life and avoid the hustle and bustle, we know that she still likes her own community where the greenery is already very good, and will not come to the base.

Although it was a pity, everyone was surprised to receive Fu Erdie's promise of five third-level plants, two hundred second-level plants, and five hundred first-level plants that might come to play at any time but could also run away at any time but would maintain a dynamic balance in number.

“It turns out that there are so many intelligent mutant plants in the butterfly garden!” The external relations manager couldn’t believe it.

Fu Erdie nodded.

The growth of plants is not a steadily rising curve, but a curve with a gradually increasing slope.

Let’s not talk about the dandelions that produce tens of thousands of seed catkins a day, and sometimes there are hundreds of intelligent mutant seeds among them. Let’s just talk about the second-level cucumbers at home. They don’t need anyone to urge them every day. In order to fight with tomatoes, they can produce two to three hundred kilograms of cucumbers every day to use as weapons.

Wherever you go in Building No. 7, you can see crime scenes caused by cucumbers and tomatoes that have not yet been cleaned up.

There are two to three hundred kilograms of cucumbers, and each cucumber weighs two kilograms on average. There are more than a hundred cucumbers produced every day, and each cucumber contains hundreds of seeds. In total, this second-level cucumber alone can produce tens of thousands of seeds a day.

Whether it is green ivy or spider plant, the more sensible older children will collect the seeds and screen out the seeds with intelligent mutations, or place them in the house for a few days to find the mutated seeds.

For every ten thousand cucumber seeds, there are an average of fifty to sixty common mutation seeds that grow fast after being planted, and a dozen or so intelligent mutation seeds.

This data will fluctuate according to the state and mood of the cucumber. Unless the cucumber fights while controlling not to produce mutant seeds, it will produce so many mutant seeds every day.

Different plants have different performances in producing mutant seeds. Except for cucumbers and tomatoes that fight without caring about anything, most plants are consciously controlling the number of mutant seeds they produce. After all, in the past six months, Building No. 7 has not had the time or energy to sow 3,000 intelligent mutant seeds, and now they are piled up and dozing off every day. There is really no need for more plant cubs.

As for the ordinary mutant seeds, there are even more of them, at least 20,000 seeds, piled up in the warehouse, ready to sprout at any time.

These seeds, which have not yet been planted by anyone, can be planted in batches in Building No. 7.

Ordinary mutant seeds need to be planted in the house for ten days before they can be transplanted. Fu Erdie plans to plant plants on the 24 floors of Building No. 7, except for the 17th floor warehouse floor, the 16th and 14th floor accommodation floors, and the 1st floor entrance floor. Each floor will have 400 plants, which means 8,000 plants in one batch, and 32,000 plants in four batches. After deducting some losses and the time spent on transportation, in about 40 days, that is, by the end of June, all the crops needed by the base can be transported.

Once everyone in the base has an ordinary mutant plant, they can get one kilogram of food a day. They won’t be full for the time being, but basic and continuous food is guaranteed, and at least they won’t starve to death.

In the next month and a half, we will train a group of plant cubs that are willing to go to the D City base. We will release them to guard the surrounding area and produce food. After that, we will train a few more batches of mutant crops, and everyone in the D City base will be self-sufficient.

In order to thank Fu Erdie for the military assistance, the base showed full sincerity. The large-scale equipment, which previously cost 10,000 kilograms of grain per month, and related supporting facilities were all loaned out free of charge.

Not only that, they will directly escort mature technical teams and technical systems to assist in the infrastructure construction of Senyu Community.

Professor Zhao has built a power generation framework suitable for the Senyu community over the past six months. With so many large equipment and technical personnel joining in, the community's power generation work will be implemented quickly.

At that time, even if Fu Erdie is not in the community with her house, people in the community can use electricity as usual, instead of having to use the stored electricity in various ways to save it.

It is now mid-May and the temperature is already in the early 20s, approaching 30.

The high temperature that lasted for almost five months after the end of the world last year has already made everyone's mentality collapse. Without electricity, in order to make her family live comfortably, Fu Erdie can no longer move around with the house. With only her and Sang Wenhao, the area they can leave is relatively limited.

If the high temperature lasts longer, she has no house or car, and cannot go far for safety reasons, so she will be almost locked in the community.

This will obviously slow down the pace of upgrading.

But she didn't want everyone to move to the D City base and move around uncomfortably in other people's territory and under their watchful eyes.

After much thought, it would be a great idea for the base to help the community with infrastructure construction now.

The meeting went very smoothly and lasted all morning, and all the details were quickly finalized. If there were any changes in the future, they would still be communicated by telegraph.

Both parties were very satisfied with this. Fu Erdie felt happy when she thought that she would gradually return to a stable life with electricity, similar to that before the apocalypse.

However, during the meeting, the base mentioned news about the zombie tide from other bases.

"Except for us, the other seven of the eight bases have also reported that the zombie waves are getting weirder and weirder. The proportion of zombies with special abilities is increasing, and their special ability levels are generally improving. Many waves of zombies have intelligent leading zombies."

"This is really... a bad omen."

As humans evolve, zombies evolve too.

Humans can absorb crystal cores, and zombies can also absorb crystal cores.

Unlike humans, some zombies with zombie king attributes, such as the fourth-order space zombies encountered this time, can upgrade by eating their own kind. This makes it easier for these zombies with zombie king attributes to upgrade than others.

Add to that another type of attributeless zombie that can absorb crystal cores of every attribute, and there will be more and more powerful zombies.

The above two types of zombies have become the targets of prevention in major bases.

When saying this, the people at the D City base looked at Fu Erdie with complicated expressions.

Judging from the information currently available on the human side, Fu Erdie is the only person with no attributes, the only fifth-level person with abilities, and also the only person who can mutate plants and that plants can eat zombies to upgrade.

If she only loaned a portion of her plant army to City D, it would be able to quickly resolve the current food and military crisis in City D. If it developed in the future, it would definitely be a powerful force that could not be underestimated.

and……

Rong Le'an thinks further and dares to think more than others.

If the butterfly gardener in front of us is given enough manpower to continuously develop her army of plants, and when the plants cover the entire city, like an automatic alarm, detecting and cleaning up all kinds of zombies or zombie animals that may be encountered in corners, can people return to their homeland and return to the homes they were driven out of before?

The base is very efficient. In the afternoon, we started counting the team and equipment that could go to Senyu Community with Fu Erdie.

Fu Erdie and her friends went outside the city to look for refugees who they liked and were willing to go to the community with them.

When Fu Erdie chooses people, he prefers women, children and grandmothers.

As a vulnerable group, they are at the bottom among ordinary people who have a hard time surviving and are easily bullied.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Women are very resilient. Although they cry easily and seem more fragile, they are actually able to seize and adapt faster if given a chance to survive.

The tough grass is weak and will fall down at the slightest gust of wind. But when the flowers and trees around it are gone, it is still there, waiting for a chance to rise again.

Children are chosen because they are highly malleable. Whether they are boys or girls, before they are deeply influenced by the messy calculations of adults, they have the opportunity to become children with different personalities but generally kind and able to distinguish right from wrong.

As for the old lady, Fu Erdie was not completely kind-hearted, but wanted to find someone who was experienced, upright and kind.

Together with their grandmother, they can patiently teach the endless stream of newly born plant babies to learn pinyin. They can also keep their grandmother company so that they will have more topics to talk about and will not be out of place only with young people.

Fu Erdie had this in mind, but when it came time to select people, he could only go by personal liking and did not have the time to get to know them in depth.

When she was recruiting people, she did not announce it on the loudspeaker in a big way. Instead, she pretended to survey the terrain and walked around the city wall with several technicians from the base.

The technical staff also cooperated in the acting, acting as if they were helping the newcomers familiarize themselves with the city walls and the surrounding terrain.

Along the way, Fu Erdie held a measuring instrument and, under the guidance of the technicians, made measurements here and recorded records there, inevitably overlapping with the places where the refugees were lying in a mess.

Some refugees were very tired and sleepy, with no expression on their faces and looked very numb, but they would still make way to make it easier for Fu Erdie to stand in position.

Some refugees were obviously new arrivals and were very eager to introduce themselves to the people, wanting to see if there was a chance to enter the city. Even if they were laughed at by the people around them or if they disturbed the people's work, they kept introducing themselves.

Some people introduced themselves for a while, then left when they realized there was no hope.

Seeing that Fu Erdie and the others didn't respond, some people started crying, cursing, or provoking them. In short, they used various methods to try to gain that glimmer of possibility.

Some people were wondering why there were still people coming to see the city wall after such a long time, and to inquire whether it was going to be expanded and whether new people could be admitted.

Some people did not avoid or give way, just lying on the ground with only their skin left, without any reaction to the arrival of others. Even if there was a conflict of position, they would not pay attention to Fu Erdie's kind words, and just looked at her with empty, desperate or hateful eyes.

After walking around for a long time, Fu Erdie already had a general idea in his mind.

She knows that everyone has their own situation, and everyone has their own reasons and reasons for such situation. But she can only choose so many people to go to the community.

Think about it now. Excluding those who came from the D City base, there are only a few people who can do things in Senyu Community.

It’s not impossible to absorb more.

For example, if we use 20 floors of Building No. 7 for planting, we originally thought that one person would be responsible for two floors, but now only ten people are enough.

However, the other buildings in the community are currently empty, with no electricity or water. To pick the fruits of crops or other plant seeds, people from the base in City D have to climb the stairs from floor to floor to collect them. Sometimes it hasn't rained for a while, and the intelligent mutant plants need to be irrigated with water from Building 7. The staff have to carry water from floor to floor, which is very hard work.

Seeing that the community is getting better and better, and my parents are becoming more skilled in personnel management, there can be more people to water and process the crops, and everyone doesn't have to work so hard all the time.

For example, if we hire more people based on one person per floor, and there are more than 20 floors in a building, and a total of ten buildings, we may need about 200 people in total.

These people can first live on the first floor of Building No. 7. Once the community's power generation and water storage and water use equipment are completed, they can move into their respective apartment buildings, or choose a building specifically as an employee dormitory area for easier management.

These can all be discussed at that time.

Thinking of this, Fu Erdie decided to go there while there were people who understood management at the D City base. If someone made her unhappy after she got there and she felt uncomfortable getting along with them, she could ask the people from D City to send them back to where they came from, which would make it easier to accommodate them.

Fu Erdie and the technical staff returned to the city, drove out again in a large truck that could carry many people, and started recruiting people.

She briefly introduced the situation of the butterfly garden. She did not say that people might be "eliminated" after being recruited. Instead, she made most people think that they were short-term workers, so that their daily working conditions would be relatively relaxed, rather than having to perform perfectly just to earn performance. However, huge irreconcilable contradictions were exposed after working for a long time. It would not be a good idea to drive people away at this time and cause people to feel uneasy.

She continued to introduce the work content after arriving at the butterfly garden, and finally emphasized that she had just inspected the people on the scene, and those who were willing could raise their hands when she passed by. She would select those who had passed the previous inspection from those who raised their hands and take them on the truck.

After a brief moment of confusion, the refugees exploded.

This is the only chance to get clean food, water, and shelter. No matter if it's a one-day, one-week, or one-month job, grab this spot first!

Contrary to their previous indifference, everyone rushed towards Fu Erdie, but after taking a few steps they were blocked by a metal railing.

Fu Erdie emphasized: "Please sit down and raise your hands. I will make the choice."

Don't be full of resentment and hatred.

Don't get frustrated when you don't achieve your goal.

Don't think highly of yourself.

Don't expect too much from your future life.

Don’t be one who likes to laugh at others or gossip.

Don’t take the one you don’t like.

Based on her impressions from the whole afternoon, Fu Erdie selected 221 people, more than 100 of whom were children under the age of 15.

The truck drove the people back to the base, and after registration, they followed the base convoy and Fu Erdie and his group and set off on the road to Senyu Community.
