Li Jian and Lin Ying followed Li Ou for a long, long way before they crossed the entire area where food was grown. Moreover, the two estimated that the number of people working in this area was at least four figures, so you can imagine what a large area it was.

"The greenhouse is divided into three parts, in addition to the part of growing food, there are two parts. One is livestock enclosure and the other is food processing. ”

Leo said lightly.

"Livestock in captivity?"

Li Jian couldn't help but exclaim suspiciously.

He can understand what food processing is all about, after all, even the grain that is grown has a shelf life, and in addition to the fresh supply, there must be a part of it that is processed to facilitate storage and cope with some special circumstances.

But livestock in captivity? What's going on here?

Leo smiled as he led the two of them deeper into the greenhouse, and after crossing the area of growing food, Li Jian and the others finally understood what was going on in livestock captivity.

As the name suggests, inside the greenhouse, a whole area is deliberately set aside for the breeding of livestock.

Behind the wooden fence, there are domestic pigs, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock, although there are only a few dozen of each species, but they do exist. Not only that, but not far away, there is a man-made pool that is close to the size of a swimming pool, and the sunlight shining from the top of the greenhouse is visible, and the water surface is reflected by the rare fish scales.

Li Jian and Lin Ying were speechless for a while, since the end of the world, although they have not seen other living creatures, this is indeed uncommon, let alone they can see the current situation like a breeding farm here.

I saw that there were also many people busy in this area. Cleaning the chicken coop, feeding the pigs, sprinkling feed into the pool, and some people are collecting manure and walking towards the grain planting with large buckets.

"At the beginning of the apocalypse, we discovered that zombies do not eat anything other than humans. But since the second black rain came, the zombies began to show signs of evolution, and these animals have also become food for the zombies, and these livestock here have also taken us a lot of effort to catch them. ”

Leo explained, pointing to the animals.

"Like those crops, the survivability of these livestock has also improved to a certain extent, and the development and growth rate is faster than before the end of the world, and now we have not used them as the main food, firstly, we have not yet understood whether their mutation will be harmful to the human body, and secondly, this amount is not enough to feed everyone in this survivor base, so in general, this place is still in the cultivation stage."

Li Jian also guessed this possible surname, after all, the number of livestock here is still too small to supply everyone in this base. However, he was surprised to see live livestock here, which he did not expect.

"Are those people collecting the manure here and transporting it to grow food, are they going to use it as fertilizer?"

Lin Ying asked, pointing to those who were hurrying with large and small kegs.

"Well, that's right, the manure of these animals is a good fertilizer, and it is very useful for growing food, so it can be regarded as recycling."

With that, Li Ou continued to walk behind, and Li Jian quickly followed after taking a few more glances here. I have to say that the ventilation in the greenhouse is still good, at least all the way to now, he and Lin Ying haven't smelled any unpleasant smells. It's just that he noticed that many of the people who work here have a hint of fatigue on their faces, and they look very tired.

Immediately after the livestock are kept in captivity, there is the place where the food is processed. There are a lot of pre-apocalyptic machines, such as canned food, pickled food, although the weather is cold now, such low temperature is conducive to food preservation, simply put, the whole earth becomes a big refrigerator. However, if it is not treated, the shelf life is still greatly reduced, which Li Jian can understand.

There are also many people here who are tired of working here, although they are neat and tidy, but they seem to be a little lacking in life, so De Li Jian can't help but ask.

"Why do so many people here look like they're tired?"

Leo turned around and said lightly.

"Because a lot of people here work more than 14 hours a day to get a basic livelihood."

Behind Leo was another exit of the greenhouse, that is, Li Jian and the others had crossed the entire greenhouse and reached the other end.

"Fourteen hours?!"

Lin Ying couldn't help but exclaim, even in the wall of life, there would be no such situation of working more than fourteen hours a day, such a strain on the human body is not a joke.

"That's right, in this base, only those who work have a basic guarantee of life. For the rest, they just have to wait for death. ”

In the puzzled gazes of Lin Ying and Li Jian, Li Ou's expression changed suddenly, and the previous feeling of approachability disappeared in an instant, becoming indifferent, condescending, and even a little disdainful of the two.

"At this survivor base, everything is set by rank. Different military ranks naturally have different treatments. Most of the people who work here have no military rank, so they can only do the hardest and most tiring work and receive the lowest level of living guarantees. ”

"Heh, so if I was an officer before the end of the world, I would be able to live a very nourishing life here without having to do it, is that what you mean?"

Li Jian asked coldly.

"Pre-apocalypse? You're naïve, aren't you? Now in this world, do you think it makes sense to talk about the military rank before the end of the world? Here, the military rank has been reformulated, and as long as you have the ability, you can naturally get military merit and rise to the rank. This is not a society where everyone is equal, but there is a society with clear class divisions. ”

Li Jian and Lin Ying's hearts were shocked, and there were obviously two meanings in what Li Ou said. While explaining the situation of this survivor base, he also hinted that there was a clear hierarchy here, and it was not ordinary. To put it simply, there is a clear difference between the upper class and the lower class, whether it is power, welfare, or even exploitation.

Class, what is class? The two are at different levels and at different heights, which is the cruel reality and the reality they will face next.

Leo's words are full of such meanings.

"Take a good look at this place, maybe this is the place you will always be staying in the future."

Leo turned around and took the lead towards the outside of the greenhouse.

"Two attitudes...... Well, although both of them seem to be hiding something, it is within the tolerance factor, but this Li Jian has a caution that does not belong to his age, and there seems to be something deeper hidden in his heart...... Is it dark? ”

Leo muttered to himself, a slight smile on his lips.
