Hummer led the king out of the city gate and into the wilderness.

Scattered weeds dot the wilderness, and from time to time survivors in rags can be seen crouching on the ground, digging wild vegetables with small shovels or catching flying insects with small nets.

This is the life of ordinary survivors, running for food every day, after Wang entered the main mountain base, although there are Zerg in hand, but it is impossible to provide enough food for the survivors, two meals of gruel a day is already the limit.

The food consumed by the 130,000 survivors every day is amazing, and Wang Jin currently has two months of food consumed by the survivors in his hands, and if the food provided by the follow-up swarm is added, it can ensure that the base comforts for three months.

After three months, Wang Jin's planting area will be able to harvest sweet potatoes, and if nothing else, the planting area will be able to provide Wang Jin with 11,000 tons of sweet potatoes, which is enough for the base to be used for more than half a year.

Therefore, Wang Jin is very concerned about this planting area, and he will come to the planting area every few days to inspect it, listen to Zhang Zhouming's opinions, and provide more conditions for this planting area.

The Hummer drove a few kilometers, and in the distance you could see a large sea of emerald green, which was a month-old sweet potato.

Because the growth rate of sweet potatoes is amazing, the leaves have grown very long in a month, extending more than a meter along the main Teng, and the branches are covered with emerald green leaves, which looks very attractive.

Beneath the ground, the sweet potatoes have formed small stems, slowly absorbing nutrients from the soil to grow and grow, only to mature after three months.

Seeing the arrival of Wang Jin's Humvee, the soldiers outside the planting area hurriedly saluted and ran to inform Zhang Zhouming.

Compared to a month ago, the number of soldiers in the planting area has increased significantly, reaching a thousand, and the swarm has increased to two thousand.

Outside the planting area, a two-meter-high barbed wire fence was erected to protect the planting area.

With the growth of sweet potatoes and the concentration of large numbers of farmers, the growing area also attracts many herbivorous carnivorous mutants.

Herbivores came to steal and spoil sweet potatoes, and carnivores came to attack farmers, so Wang Jin spent a lot of effort to fence this barbed wire fence and send soldiers and insect swarms to protect the sweet potatoes and farmers in the planting area.

Because of the presence of hosts and insect swarms stationed to monitor, mutant beasts often come more and less often, becoming prey to insect swarms and not causing much damage to sweet potatoes.

In addition, the construction of this barbed wire fence and the additional garrison of soldiers were also to prevent ordinary survivors from stealing.

Many of the survivors saw these sweet potatoes grow up, and they became greedy and wanted to steal them, because the planting area was too large, and Wang Jin's original troops were not enough to take care of the entire planting area, so they sent additional troops.

At first, the survivors could also take advantage of Wang Jin's lack of manpower to steal a little sweet potato, but after Wang Jin sent more manpower, this situation never happened again.

The survivors who dared to steal were all arrested and sent to prisoner camps for labor camps, and those who were caught stealing in an organized way were beheaded, thus greatly curbing this unhealthy trend.

By now, the whole base knows that the planting area cannot be moved, and whoever dares to steal sweet potatoes will not have good fruit to eat, and will either be caught and sent to the prisoner camp to do the hardest, most tiring and dangerous work, or will be killed by soldiers and bitten to death by velociraptors, and now no one dares to steal again.

Knowing that Wang Jin was coming, Zhang Zhouming, who had been busy in the planting area, quickly ran over and personally led Wang Jin to visit and explain the development of the planting area.

The entire planting area has a total of 5,800 acres of land, which is divided into 100 small areas, each with 58 acres of land, and an average of ten farmers work on the small areas.

Each small area also has a regional supervisor, who is served by the staff of the production department, who is responsible for the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the area and leads the farmers to work on it.

Zhang Zhouming and Du Yuyan will conduct regular inspections, and if the sweet potatoes in the responsible area grow well, the regional supervisors will get more grain.

If the sweet potato does not grow well, the regional director will be fined and the grain will be deducted, and if the sweet potato production is seriously reduced or even wilted, he will be dismissed as a staff member of the production department, and if it is particularly serious, he will be held accountable and will be under the criminal law.

Under such a mechanism, each regional director is trembling at work, not daring to be sloppy and afraid of losing this hard-won job.

At the same time, the rewarded food also made them full of motivation, and they took care of the sweet potatoes wholeheartedly, arranged for the farmers to work, so that the whole planting area flourished, and the growth of sweet potatoes was better day by day.

Walking slowly along the field path, Wang Jin could see that a large ditch 10 meters wide and 3 meters deep ran through the planting area, and the source of the large ditch was on the river 5 or 6 kilometers away from the planting area, and the water flow was from the river.

There are also small ditches that provide water for the sweet potatoes to grow, and these small ditches extend from this large ditch to ensure that the water is uninterrupted throughout the growing area.

It took 3,000 captive soldiers nearly a month to dig the ditch to solve the problem of insufficient water in the previous planting area.

Speaking of the soldiers who took prisoners, after digging the ditch, the soldiers, under Wang Jin's order, began to dig up the fish pond.

So far, three fish ponds have been completed, and many more are being dug and built, each ten acres in size, filled with water from large ditches.

At this time, the fish pond was full of fish fry, which were all fished by Wang Jin and the farmers, although the wild river was dangerous, there were mutant fish that ate people in the river.

But with Wang Jin's insect colony escort, and most of these seedlings live on the shore and do not need to enter deep water, the fishing is relatively smooth, and enough seedlings are found for the fish pond.

There is only time left for the fry to grow, and according to the estimates of fish farming experts, it will take about four to five months for the fish to grow and be ready for the fish to grow at the rate at which the mutated fish grow, and the amount of food that can be provided to the fish.

At present, there are sweet potatoes and fish ponds in the planting area, but the breeding farm has not yet been built.

The main reason is that there are too few chickens, ducks, pigs and other animals, and Wang Jin has now ordered the Zerg to catch them in the wild, but it will take some time to raise the number of farms to build.

At noon, Wang Jin returned to the center of the planting area, where the peasants rested, and where they ate and received their wages every day.

When Wang Jin walked here, a fragrance of vegetables wafted here, Wang Jin's eyes narrowed, and he saw that the farmers' food today had changed, in addition to a bowl of gruel per person, there was also a small plate of fried sweet potato leaves to eat.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jin's face turned black on the spot, turned his head and glared at Zhang Zhouming, pointed to those fried sweet potato leaves and said with a gloomy face: "What's the matter, why do you want to pick these sweet potato leaves, Zhang Zhouming, you don't want to do it, do you." ”
