Chapter Seventy-Three: Preparations
After the conference, everyone worked hard to make various preparations for the arrival of winter.
As the son of the base chief, Wang Wenyu can no longer be the same as before, except for the mission to accompany Wen Luming's mother and son, he has to follow Wang Wence every day and be responsible for arranging all preparations for the base. They don't have time to see each other during the day, except at night.
Wen Luming's water ability and wood spiritual power are both urgently needed in the base, so she takes her son to work every day, and tries her best to prepare some pure water storage for the base.
The progress of ripening purple potatoes is also much faster than before, and now that it is an extraordinary time, she no longer hides her strength, so her purple potatoes can be harvested every two days, and her purple potato production this week alone is more than the output of all wood-based abilities combined.
In the case of her crazy increase in purple potato production, a lot of grain has been stored in the base, and at this rate, by the time winter comes, it should be possible to harvest enough food for the people in the base to survive.
More than half a month later, because of the large number of people and the hard work of everyone, the caves were quickly dug a lot, lined up on the hillside, exuding the smell of earth, although a little simple, but it can be inhabited.
Most of the people in the slums live in newly dug caves, which are much better than the old shacks, warm in winter and cool in summer, safe and comfortable, so the survivors are happy.
The problems of housing and food have almost all been solved. Food and shelter have been worry-free; Okay, in the base, ordinary people walk by foot, and people with the ability are of course capable of driving or using bicycles, which is also easy to do; Only the problem of clothing has not been solved.
After all, in this last days, it is a question of whether or not they can live tomorrow.
Therefore, now for the base, the biggest question is - what to use to keep warm.
As soon as the end of the world came, everyone's life regressed for decades, and the air conditioner consumed electricity, and even the base chief at the top of the pyramid could not use the air conditioner to keep warm; As for coal and natural gas, there is only a very small stock in the base, and those who can afford it can buy it for cooking, let alone use it for heating; As for the fuel, such as dry firewood, it is used by the survivors in the base for cooking, and it is unlikely that there will be enough to use it for heating.
If you can't keep warm in winter, it is likely that a large number of ordinary people will freeze to death, so it is urgent to go out and collect warm clothes and quilts.
Everyone was quickly encouraged to go out and collect warm clothes, of course, within their means.
Ordinary survivors who don't have abilities can also organize enough people to act together, because although there are no abilities, as long as they are flexible and have strong hands and feet, they can solve the zombies, and the end of the world has been so long, many ordinary people's skills and courage have been exercised, as long as the teamwork is good, safety can be guaranteed.
As for the self-reliant private team of Aliens, they have long been accustomed to going out, so they are the most active group of people.
Officially, that is, on behalf of the team that went out to collect warm clothes in the base, there were paraphiles who were summoned by the military and those who were military themselves, and they were divided into teams and went out in different directions.
Wang Wenyu naturally belongs to the official, he still took his group of special forces and several space abilities, because their mission is to go to the northwest cotton province, that big province is located in the northwest, the sun is sufficient, the land is sparsely populated, the land is fertile, and the cotton production industry is also very developed before the end of the world.
Wang Wenyu went to collect these cotton clothes and quilts this time, this mission is very important, so the people who followed him on the mission were his own soldiers, however, there are two very special characters - Wen Luming and Wen Tiandao children.
Of course, when everyone saw the two of them appear in this team, they were all so shocked that their eyes fell to the ground.
Wen Luming is of course not crazy, she just hasn't been out for a long time, since giving birth to a child, she hasn't directly faced zombies, although she earns a lot of crystal nuclei, but her skills don't need to degrade, she must grasp this last chance to go out before winter comes, otherwise, the next time she goes out will be a few months or even a year later.
As for why you have to take the child, one is that the little fat man is still drinking breast milk and can't leave her, and she has enough ability and self-confidence to protect him, the second is that the child has gone out to see more of the outside world since he was a child, and it is very beneficial to his growth that he has experienced, and the third is that the little fat man is already a stranger, and the zombie virus has no effect on him, and he can also learn how to use the ability, which is really a lot of work.
For Wen Luming's crazy move, of course, the whole family is unanimously opposed.
When Wen Luming announced that she was going to take Wen Tiandao on a mission together, Mrs. Wang hugged her baby grandson, like looking at an alien, unable to understand Wen Luming's thoughts, "He's still so young, he can't even walk, and when he goes out, he delivers food to zombies!" How can you bear to be a?! ”
Wen Luming said to the worried Madame Wang, "My ability is enough to protect him, and he still has to drink my milk, and he can't leave me for too long." ”
"Then don't drink your milk! Let's drink milk powder! ”
"Where is the milk powder to drink now? Even if you can find the milk powder, it is likely to be expired. "In fact, there are still a lot of milk powder in Wen Luming's cave mansion, although a lot of them were sent to Chen Yuan's children to drink, but she still put the rest in the cave mansion and didn't take it out, so Mrs. Wang didn't know that she had milk powder.
"If you don't have milk powder - then eat complementary food! You can drink porridge, vegetable puree, fruit puree...... The little one can already eat these for more than 6 months! "Mrs. Wang actually helped the little guy think of other foods that he could eat.
"Xiaowen, don't you go! This is the easiest solution, although your ability is very powerful, but there is really no shortage of you, it is more important that you still take care of our family's little babies at home. "Wang Wence is the best at solving problems from the source, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Wen Luming to give up the decision to go out.
"That's right! Right! If you don't go, then everything is solved! When Mrs. Wang heard what her eldest son said, she felt that it was very right, and hurriedly agreed.
Wen Luming shook his head and said, "I haven't been out since I came to the base, and if I miss this opportunity, I will probably only be able to go out in a year, I am an anomaly, and I can't stay away from the outside world for too long......"
