Chapter 124: Black Potato

Although there are millions of survivors. But every day someone is dying. Become a zombie and bite a lot of people to death.

In the last days, the proportion of the number of people in the army is unprecedentedly large, almost reaching the lead, and the stab is not that they do not want to join the army, but that they are not good.

The ratio of men to women has also reached an unprecedented deformity, and the ratio of men to women has reached a point of introduction, but even when women have almost become rare animals, the status of women has not only not improved, but has decreased, almost to the point where they can be sold as in ancient times.

Although there are a few powerful female awakened people who are defending the status of women, they still do not help.

In the world of fist competition, in the world of men's big fists, masculinity is always the main theme.

Although the status of women is very low, there are still people who are more underground than women, that is, men who have no strength.

In this cruel last days, if a man is not an awakened person, he has no skills, and his background is as thin as paper. Then it will be a very difficult thing to survive. There are only three paths left for these people.

First, it will become an experimental object in the military laboratory, and if you are lucky, your strength will skyrocket. Become a human rights group. But the mortality rate of these roads is more than 80%, and the probability of being crippled or becoming a vegetative person is more than enough. As for after becoming a vegetative person. Of course, it's buried and waiting for germination.

2. Actively infected with the virus and waiting for the judgment of fate.

After being infected with the virus, it is better to hide, otherwise it is easy to eat bombs.

3. Becoming a slave or giving up one's original sex.

In short, the status of women is low, but it is not difficult to live. And men are a polarized group of Chinese people, who either live well or can't.

A deformed social formation created by a deformed era. It's another test of humanity. In a sense, civilization is in nirvana.

And the junta, seeing this deformed social form, only shouts slogans, pulls the banner, and then does nothing. Everyone is not protected by themselves. Who cares about anyone else?

As for the set that wins people's hearts, it is not necessary at all for the military government of the last days. The top of the army only needs to envelop every powerful person, so the families of military personnel have human rights, and the families of the awakened are also human rights, and other survivors can only rely on their own mouths if they want to live

Rebellion? With that ability, it's better to kill zombies.

It's just a matter of survival for ordinary people, as for the awakened. Joining the military is not a good option. Because after entering the army. It is necessary to obey orders, guard the base city, carry out tasks, and then receive a pitiful amount of energy crystals every month

So, only the Awakened who are not very strong will join the army.

Powerful awakened people form small teams and go out hunting, so that they can get more energy crystals. Of course, in order to encircle this part of the awakened, the military will let these awakened people hang the name of a reserve. And then what to do, the army does not do coercive restraint.

Of course, taxes still have to be paid, and as long as the awakened enter the base city, they have to pay a certain amount of energy crystallization every month.

If you don't want to pay taxes, you can just live outside the base city. But compared to getting a good night's sleep every day, that little bit of energy crystallization per month is insignificant.

As for children, the attitude of each military region is similar: food and clothing education is guaranteed for those under the age of 16, but the quality is not guaranteed. Among the three major military regions, the 51 st Military Region in Guangshi has a good attitude toward minors, and this is also the reason why the reputation of the Mu Military Region is better than that of the other two military regions.

In short, human society in the last days was very deformed, technology reached unprecedented heights, and the social structure regressed to a similar feudal era due to the lack of resources.

This social pattern did not improve until the occupation of more arable land by the military region. However, Pandora's attacks are everywhere, it is very difficult to protect the farmland, and with the presence of mutated creatures, it is only a matter of hours to eat up the crops.

The average yield of an acre of land can only supply one person's food, and if it is an awakened person, it will take three times that of an ordinary person. This is still a case where the harvest can still be guaranteed, but it is only a military region that is reluctant to guard the base city, let alone guard one million acres of fertile land.

As for the costly indoor cultivation, it simply does not meet everyone's needs.

Grain. This puzzle that scientists could not solve was solved by a plant that appeared due to scientific errors.

That's the mutated sweet potato, an amazing plant that is so tenacious that it only needs a pinch of dust and grows fast.

Mutant red is not actually red, but black, and black is easy to absorb sunlight and heat. Therefore, this plant is rightfully called black

Sweet potatoes have always been the best food in times of famine, and scientists have continued to study the variation of this plant, hoping to breed varieties that can grow extraordinarily large red. ,

However, the direction of this research was wrong from the beginning.

Until a scientific researcher, inadvertently cultivated a black potato seedling with an amazing growth rate, but the tuber rhizome grown by this seedling is small, not much larger than a thumb, and the color is ugly, and the taste is sour. So, without the slightest hesitation. This seedling was judged to be a failure.

In order to prevent the mutant species from damaging the ecology, the seedling should have been destroyed. But

The researcher worked for several days on end. Dizzy, he dumped the seedling in the trash.

Then, along with other garbage, it was dumped at a garbage dump outside the base city.

As a result, the next day, the garbage dump was full of small purple flowers, which was very pleasant.

After three days, the black plant spread rapidly, even crawling on the wall like a creeper.

A month later, the vine's roots sprouted thumb-sized black tuberous rhizomes, known as black potatoes.

Black potatoes are small in size, but they are massive. Generally, sweet potatoes or white potatoes can produce one, and black potatoes can produce dozens. Compared with. The total volume of black potatoes is two or three times that of sweet potatoes.

The volume is not the point, the point is that the growth cycle of black potatoes only takes one month, and half of the harvest can be achieved even in snow. A year of expert } machine to see}}ω ~ PoO harvest ten times. That's five times more than a regular sweet potato.

In addition to the growth rate, where black potatoes are strong is that they have low growth requirements. All you need is a pinch of soil, and it can even grow on old walls.

Of course, there is a side effect of such rapid growth, which is the rapid loss of soil fertility. This is not yet evident in the cultivation of black potatoes in the cities.

If you plant on fertile land, the fertility of the soil will be basically lost in a year or two. However, this is not a big problem, in addition to fertilizer, scientists have developed a super green manure variant milk vetch. It only takes a few months of planting super green manure mutant milk vetch to supply black potatoes for a year.

If that's all there is to it, black potatoes are still difficult to grow widely, and black potatoes are hard to eat.

It's so sour that it doesn't taste good at all, so various herbivores such as insects are not interested in it. Plus the ability to grow each. You don't need to be watched, you just need to clear a piece of land, plant black potatoes, and harvest them once a month.

As for the problem of "how can people eat it if it is so unpalatable", it is not a problem at all, humans can artificially synthesize eggs and make bacteria into meat, so it is really not a problem to make a sour black potato into refreshing instant noodles.

This black potato appeared a year after the end of the world. At that time, I don't know how many people starved to death, and if you count the part of people who rushed out to feed zombies and hoped to awaken, it would be too much.

And the place where this kind of black potato first appeared was Jinling.

An important reason why Du Fei came to Jinling was to want the black potato to come in advance, if the black potato appeared in the last month, it would save hundreds of thousands of people, and let human society settle down in a short time.

This is a key step for Du Fei to take to change history, the more human beings survive, the more awakened people, and the more strong people can come to Fu Pandora. This is a crucial step towards victory.

Du Fei looked at this ancient city where the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and exhaled deeply.

Military vehicles have always been privileged, and Lin Zhen and the others drove two military jeeps, and they were released after a simple inspection

After passing through the quarantine entrance, Illya in her arms suddenly trembled, and shrank into Du Fei's arms, as if she wanted to get into Du Fei's body.

Du Fei hugged Yiliya tightly, stroked her back and asked, "Yiyi, what's wrong?" Are you sick? ”

The little girl was just trembling vigorously, and she couldn't say a complete sentence in her mouth, looking like a wounded rabbit. There were tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and his pitiful appearance was distressing to look at.

Du Fei touched her forehead, she didn't have a fever, she didn't look sick, she didn't look like she was an evolutionary sign. Looking up, there was nothing out of the ordinary, mostly the military, and some refugees.

There was a soup kitchen shop on the side of the road, and many refugees with their families crowded over to receive the porridge, and the military still wanted to save some people at the beginning of the last days. However, these gruels are not much better than boiled water, and they are not so much about helping refugees as they are for show. But it's better to put on a show than not to do it at all.

In front of the jeep were several luxury RVs, as well as military vehicles escorting, presumably the family of a certain bigwig.

Then there are the snipers who are ambushed on the high-rise buildings everywhere, and under the induction controlled by Du Fei's metal, every sniper rifle cannot escape the induction.

Besides. There's nothing strange about it.

But what is it that makes this little demon king in his arms who can slap a handprint on the tank afraid to be like this?

Is there any powerful individual?

Du Fei looked at Ouyang Xiu and saw that she didn't have any abnormalities, if the perceptual awakened people couldn't find it, then the little girl in his arms couldn't find it.

Du Fei can't. I had to hold the little girl in my arms tightly. Do your best to reassure her.

Ji Pufeng turned to another street, and Lin Zhen should have gone to find someone from Guangshi to pick him up.

After the jeep traveled some distance, Illya in her arms finally stopped trembling, but her expression was sluggish and she looked very unhappy. She just hugged Du Fei's neck tightly, leaned her head on Du Fei's shoulder, and said nothing with a tense little face.

Du Fei didn't ask Iliya anything, but turned his head to the few luxury RVs that were far away, with a sharp doubt in his eyes.
