*****************

In terms of Shenwu Pass, the results of the investigation were quickly fed back to Chen Yuan.

In the Shenwuguan settlement, there are indeed still remnants of the New World Sect that have not been cleaned up.

Old man Qin Mushan personally apologized to Chen Yuan, after all, it was their people who leaked the news, which caused Chen Yuan and them to encounter an ambush on the road.

But Chen Yuan didn't mean to blame Shenwuguan at all.

As early as when they attacked the New World forces in the Iron Keep, the two sides had already formed a great enmity. Chen Yuan also expected a counterattack from the New World Church.

Helping Shenwu City and Yang City clean up the forces of the New World Sect is not only to help them, but also to help themselves.

Otherwise, if the New World Sect forces in the Shenwu Pass were still as strong as before, then the result of this leak incident might not be so easy to solve, and the losses would be even greater.

Chen Yuan and the others were not too affected by the ambush incident and began to prepare for the New Year.

Although it is the end of the world, there are countless zombies standing around 75 kilometers away.

However, in the Iron Castle and its various resource points, the atmosphere of the New Year is very strong.

This is the second year of the last days.

Moreover, this year's agricultural harvest has been bumper, industry has made great progress, and various tertiary industries have also flourished, making this year more down-to-earth and festive.

People even feel that the current year is happier and more lively than in the past.

In the Fortress of Steel and the Fort of Hope, protected by tall walls, there are no good TV shows and video games, and people are stepping out of their rooms. Bustling crowds fill the retro streets that resemble medieval Europe. It makes people feel as if they are in a tourist area, and it is very lively.

People also have a natural happy smile on their faces. The so-called contentment and happiness, after suffering to know what happiness is. Compared to the life of fear and starvation in the past, there is really nothing to be picky about life in the Iron Castle now.

Many children are wandering around the streets with beautiful and delicious sugar gourds in their hands and wearing brand new clothes. Building snowmen, having snowball fights, and skiing are all fun.

Don't be afraid of traffickers here, because there is no way for children to be taken out of town without special proof. There aren't too many cars here, so parents can feel free to let their children play.

Among the resource points, although it is not so lively. However, every household also posted Spring Festival couplets and went to relatives. The Spring Festival holiday at Steel Fort lasts for 10 days, from the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the 9th day of the first lunar month. Everyone has time to chat, eat melon seeds, and play mahjong.

Even in the saltpeter mine base in Xinjiang Province, it is full of lights and celebrations.

Soon, the Fifth Regiment here will return to the Iron Castle to exchange areas with the Sixth Regiment.

But it's a bit reluctant to let them go now.

In the past year, the saltpeter mine base, which used to be under difficult conditions, has been transformed into a small oasis. The environment is also leveraged.

Especially the melons and fruits here, the grapes, cantaloupe, and watermelon are sweet, and they are simply amazing. Sent to the Iron Castle are in short supply. You can eat as much as you like here.

And, although they are in a remote area, they don't have to worry about food and meat.

Every half month, a train brings a large amount of rice noodles and frozen meat from the Iron Castle.

Living conditions are even better than in the Northeast.

However, in March, they reluctantly packed up and returned to the Iron Castle. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

**********

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Zeshan and they still ate at Chen Yuan's house.

Jiang Wenli is still here, and more importantly, this red widow, who was famous in the previous life, failed to learn the lesson of last year, and under the spirit of not admitting defeat, she actually started to fight with a group of big men around her, and needless to say, she was naturally drunk again!

Of course, Zhang Zeshan and Wei Chen were not much better.

The so-called women are born with three taels of wine, put Jiang Wenli here, at least one catty. Several men were all laid down by her, and she just lay down.

So it's not in vain.

Soon, a year that was too lazy to go to work anymore was over.

Chen Yuan also organized a meeting of the top leaders of the Iron Castle.

"This year, the situation we face will be even more severe. If my prediction is correct, the corpse of the king will appear in the next October. Commander of a million, and smarter and more cunning. So this year, a lot of work is very critical. ”

He turned to the Minister of Agriculture and said, "In terms of agriculture, this year is still the top priority of all our work. Do you have any difficulties? How are the preparations going, and how can I help? ”

The Minister of Agriculture said confidently: "Chief, there is no problem on our side. ”

He said excitedly: "With the foundation of last year, this year we are ready to expand the agricultural area from 600,000 mu to 1.2 million mu, and the area will be doubled." ”

"The newly cultivated land has been turned over before the winter of this year, covered with snow, and after a winter, most of the eggs in the field will freeze to death, and there will be fewer pests and diseases the next year. There are sufficient manpower and mechanical equipment. The breeding work has also been successfully completed, enough to grow grain on the 1.2 million acres of cultivated land next year. In addition, we have prepared a few more for the people of Steel Castle and Yang City. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, very satisfied, and he continued: "The so-called food in your hands, don't panic in your heart. Although we harvested and collected a lot of food last year, enough for our current population to eat for 20 years, it is not enough! After the appearance of the king's corpse, it may have a great impact on our agriculture. It casually brings its little brother to us for a walk, even if it doesn't siege the city, a million zombies will definitely be able to trample most of the food we grow! So this year is precious. ”

He reminded Xu Kai: "The Military Intelligence Bureau must keep an eye on the corpse generals in several surrounding cities, and give early warnings as soon as they are dispatched." ”

"Understood!" Xu Kai nodded and said, "These directions are now monitored 24 hours a day. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, and then said to the Minister of Agriculture: "By the way, you can tell you about the current situation of the breeding industry in the settlement." ”

The Minister of Agriculture nodded and said, "In terms of poultry farming and animal husbandry. Both the chicken and duck farms have reached a size of 200,000 birds. The number of eggs laid per day is 270,000. New chicken and duck farms are also under construction in Zhaojiatun, 1 kilometre away from Hatu village. After the construction is completed, together with the farms on the island, the scale of breeding of chickens and ducks will exceed one million, and a slaughter will be produced every three months. ”

Fat Zhang's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "So many! After that, it was not possible to eat one chicken a day. ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "After all, but fat man, please don't drool!" In addition, I have to exchange these for other supplies, how can I give you food every day! ”

Zhang Fatzi wiped his saliva and said aggrievedly: "That's what I said!" Give me chicken every day, and I'll get tired of it. ”

Everyone laughed.
