Chapter 391: Food Crisis

Soon, Lu Tian received the news and gathered in Yanshan seven days later.

The army has begun to make contact with zombies on a small scale, such as detecting intelligence to understand the strength and distribution of zombies, so as to adjust strategies.

Lu Tian also left the base in the lake and headed north, without being too urgent, and still fought all the way through the mountains and forests.

Soon, he walked to the territory of Shuinan Province, where the terrain was open and gentle, and it was difficult to see a single place of people for hundreds of miles, and all he saw in his eyes were wild grass and wild beasts.

At night, I found a dry cave, and there was no life, so I sat on a stone at random and began my regular cultivation.

Doodle~

In the middle of the night, there was another vibration, and Lu Tian opened his eyes and picked up his mobile phone.

"Zhou Cheng, why does it seem to be missing recently? Nothing happened, did it? A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Tian's mouth, he really hadn't been in contact with Zhou Cheng for a long time.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to contact you, it's mainly that those old guys at home are in charge, they don't let me use the satellite phone, and they don't give me vacations, saying that they want us to concentrate on doing things......" Zhou Cheng poured bitter water again, and it seemed that he had a lot of grievances.

Through his telling, Lu Tian also knew a lot about the situation. It turned out that after the Zhou family gave up the interests of many underground bases before, they united several forces and spent a lot of strength to operate several underground bases.

These bases are all newly established and are basically built from scratch. The Zhou family also used all their strength, and sons like Zhou Cheng went to move bricks, which was very difficult.

From a national perspective, many forces are now building bases on their own, no longer limited to the government, as long as you have financial and material resources, you can go to a certain place to build.

Instead of banning them, the authorities will encourage them, because it will greatly relieve their pressure, and it will also make full use of the remaining materials, which is conducive to the survival of humanity in an overall strategy.

"Seeing you say that, won't you have freedom, tell me where you are, I'll stop by to see you."

Zhou Cheng said in a serious tone: "We have to wait a minute, food has been too short recently, we are looking for food, otherwise those survivors will not be able to exchange for food, and our base will be equivalent to existing in name only." ”

Lu Tian sighed: "Food, it has basically become a big problem for human beings, and food has been extremely scarce recently, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Cheng said helplessly: "Hunting fierce beasts, cultivating crops, and collecting residual food, as long as you can eat it, you are basically doing it." ”

"And how many people are there in your base now?"

"Less than 100,000, after all, it's the early days, and it hasn't attracted many survivors yet."

"Need my help? You're welcome, I'm free now! ”

"Don't use it for the time being, after all, this is done by several forces together, your identity is sensitive, it's a good thing to help me, but maybe the other few don't think so, and it's not good to have a misunderstanding when the time comes."

"I understand, call me when you're done."

"No problem, as long as I have the opportunity, I will definitely contact you, after all, there is still news about your brother now, I cherish it!"

"You kid, don't be like this, I'm a little uncomfortable, it seems that I've grown a lot recently."

"Hehe, the pressure, it's impossible to be as unreliable as before."

The two talked and laughed, chatted about recent events, and recalled the past, both of which were quite emotional.

Time passed quickly, and half an hour passed after talking, and Zhou Cheng couldn't dominate the satellite phone alone, so he could only end the call.

Lu Tian looked up at the starry sky and was slightly stunned for a moment before continuing to cultivate.

After eating the meat of the strange beast in the morning, I arrived at a national highway, which was not destroyed except for a lot of wild grass and vines.

Suddenly, black smoke rose in the distance, and then the roar of the engine came, it was actually an old tractor, looking at the rusty and yellow appearance, Lu Tian was afraid that it would fall apart.

"This voice is not afraid of the fierce beast that lures away the zombies!"

Lu Tian muttered, he didn't look at it much, but walked along the provincial road, there were too many strange things in the mountains, which made him a little annoyed, plus he talked to Zhou Cheng yesterday, he also wanted to look at the figure.

The driver of the tractor was an old man, although he was fifty or sixty years old, but his body was very strong, much stronger than ordinary people, and there were some sundries in the back of the trailer, and there were blood stains, most of which were hunters.

This person just glanced at Lu Tian, and then drove the tractor whistling past, and the sound was really a little noisy.

After the others left, Lu Tian's speed increased, and he was going to go to the distance to buy some things, many of which had been used up during this time.

The sun rose a lot, and Lu Tian also walked to a gathering place, many places were surrounded by railings or barbed wire, and if zombies or beasts rushed to him, he could easily block it.

Along the way, he felt as if the neighborhood had been swept away by locusts, and everything of value was gone, even some edible plants and trees were uprooted, and even tree roots, insects, ants, and mice had not run away, and it was a barren appearance.

If it weren't for the fact that the farther places were dangerous, and if they weren't the opponents of the beasts, it was estimated that none of the mountains would be able to keep them.

The most amazing thing is that there are a lot of bones, with Lu Tian's eyesight, he can immediately identify the bones that are not zombies.

Zombie bones are basically blackened, rotten, and brittle, where is it so white.

Lu Tian understood that most of the bones had been starved to death, and there were many refugees wandering there, and if any of them died, they would be able to eat a miserable meal.

There were people lying on the sky full of flies and rotting bones, pouting their buttocks, chewing regardless of the stench, that kind of scene, even if he was a murderous existence, he felt his stomach roll and shudder a little.

He seemed to see some popularity, but he didn't expect it to be like this, which shows how short the food is, and ten steps away from a person who is starving or even starving to death.

Walking into the market here, the terrifying scene is completely gone, and the people here are all a little strong, otherwise they would not be able to set up stalls or buy things.

"I want these ......"

Lu Tian walked to a stall, picked a lot of things, and when he finally paid, he found that the price was much more expensive.

Then it suddenly became clear that there was a shortage of food recently, and the price of natural items had risen a lot.

He didn't stay long, and went into the forest again, and when he saw his people living like this, his heart was very heavy.

We had to do something, if only we could have a lot of food.

"I heard that the military department controls ten plots of land across the country to grow grain, but unfortunately it can only be provided to the military department, and the grain at the base can only be solved by itself."

Originally, he hadn't thought about the problem of food, but today he was also hit by seeing so many people eating dead bodies.

"It's May, the temperature is rising rapidly, and it's just right for growing food, so I have to mention it to the Transcendent Association, so that the transcendents everywhere can fully support the production of food!"

Lu Tian quickly knew what he had to do, he really couldn't grow any food alone, but he was the vice president of the Transcendent Association, and he was qualified to influence the overall situation.

On this day, Lu Tian was thinking about this, and in the evening, Lu Tian went to learn about this information.

As soon as I learned about it, I realized that now all the bases are almost devoid of pure food, and people with extraordinary and background can still eat the meat of beasts, while ordinary people can only eat leaves and grass roots, and tens of thousands of people starve to death every day.

Although the land has been reclaimed for each base, the area is not large because it requires a large number of people and there is a threat of zombies.

In addition, weeds are very vigorous, pesticides are no longer produced, and the yield of old-fashioned crops will be low.

The combination of these reasons makes the final output pitifully low, and it is simply not enough for the number of people in the base.

"Cultivating new varieties, expanding the planting area, and having transcendent people to protect it, this problem can be solved."

Lu Tian squatted on the ground and thought about it briefly.

"We all need manpower, I hope everyone can unite and plant food well!"

This attack on the imperial capital will itself have a huge consumption, and the military department is busy with this matter, and it will definitely be too late to take care of ordinary people, and when the imperial capital is defeated, most of the people will starve to death.

There are not as many human beings as zombies and strange beasts, and if they starve to death like this, the situation will be even more difficult.

"We must mobilize everyone's last strength, if we don't struggle, we won't have a chance!"

Lu Tian pinched his palms, and he analyzed that most of the stronger transcendents would go to the battlefield, and those who were level 2/3 transcendents did not need to be sent, because the human guns were enough to make up for this part of the combat power.

If this part of the people is sent to grow food, it is absolutely the most suitable, and one transcendent person is worth a few ordinary people, and they have special abilities, it is not difficult to grow food smoothly.

"I'll mention this matter, and the specific situation needs to be discussed!"

After all, it's a national thing, and if there are not enough reasons and interests, others won't do it.

In the end, he handed over the matter to the old man to draft the copy, and it will be formally proposed tomorrow at the latest, and the other high-level people are smart people and will definitely not object.
