Chapter 121: Stockpiling Grain
After the flood season in July, the Pingjiang River has abundant water storage, which can meet the drinking needs of millions of people.
The multi-model, high-power clean water purifier redeemed from the Red Alert Mall eliminates possible problems with water quality.
To the north-west of the dwarf mountains are endless grey-black fields that were once rich in wheat, corn and soybeans.
Now, without human cultivation, the soil covered by dead grass and morning frost has gradually fermented into fertile soil that is conducive to wild vegetation taking root.
Controlling food and water is an important and long-term goal.
There is a gradual decrease in what can be eaten in the city...... Or even disappear in time.
Led by the king, the strong-armed sanctuary is bound to become the greatest force in the old city.
He had to store a lot of food.
The king stood on the top of a low hill, a tall wooden watchtower.
From his point of view, a field as dark as a carpet covering the horizon could be seen.
The nutrient solution and seeds in the Red Alert Mall for food were exchanged for several tons, and they were all stacked in the corner of the hall of the construction plant.
A group of people were specially selected from the shelter, and although few had ever planted the land, they had to sow the seeds as soon as possible to catch the ducks on the shelves.
Around the low mountains, the moist earth is being cultivated.
The seeds of wheat are sown by hand, and then the soldiers carry the medicine bucket and pour a nutrient solution that exudes the fragrance of the plant.
The first batch of crops, which can be regarded as experimental fields, was handed over to Yu Shun among the survivors.
He was a newcomer, originally the commander of a company of the Imperial Border Guards, and was on vacation at home when the end of the world came.
Yu Shun is very good, and he is an awakened person, and he killed all the zombies in a building alone before.
However, he also knew nothing about the situation in the Imperial army.
It was probably the king's army that brought him a different feeling, plus it saved his and his wife's lives.
Yu Shun promised Wang Tu that he would unconditionally obey Wang Tu's orders and be willing to be a soldier of the legion before encountering the imperial army and returning to the establishment.
I can feel that Yu Shun is a person with a great sense of justice and responsibility, so Wang Tu attaches great importance to him and approves him to be responsible for farming tasks.
The food, medicines, tools, clothing, and quilts found so far...... All of them are filled into the material warehouse.
After Nie Yuanfan's management, it became orderly.
Food, which is also classified by type.
Liquid, solid, box by box, bag by bag, neatly stacked.
Stuff the storable ones deep into the storehouse and write the date on paper; Those who could not tolerate storage were instructed to take it to the support team as soon as possible and transport it to the canteen.
The materials are registered in data, strictly managed in and out of the warehouse, and are regularly summarized and handed over to Wang Tu for review.
This was a difficult job, and considering that there were many trivial things to live in, Wang Tu sent ten mobilized soldiers and some survivors who had learned relevant knowledge to Nie Yuanfan.
The main task of the 2nd Battalion of the Corps was to occupy residential buildings and collect supplies.
More than 300 soldiers, subdivided into dozens of squads, pried open the doors of each house and emptied the things that could be used inside.
Kill zombies, or ...... Save those who are still alive.
The lines of communication opened up were guarded by a battalion.
They set up a blocking line on the main road, and in teams of three or four men, they killed any threatening target.
The asphalt roads were swept very cleanly and neatly, and vans were constantly coming and going, transporting supplies and personnel.
From a distance, the crowd running on the ground is as small as ants.
They wandered from building to building, desperately moving food into the "nest".
Some survivors are optimistic that the shelter doesn't cut off food, and if you're willing to contribute, you'll have enough to eat.
They jokingly call themselves "waste pickers".
The city is deserted, and everything is ownerless.
As the survivors, take them home and be their new owners.
Also create, new homes.
The things in the material warehouse are piled up, you must know ...... The army never stopped collecting food.
Specially told Nie Yuanfan to leave a dry place in the material warehouse.
When the last snow melts in the spring of the following year, the wheat sprouts will grow vigorously. By the end of May, when the weather is starting to show heat, the first grain can be harvested.
However, before that, it is necessary to find food reserves in the cities to cope with the series of embarrassment problems arising from the rapid population expansion.
With a huge population base as support, even if zombies account for a large proportion, there are still a lot of survivors.
Come to one, first give a full meal, then count personal information, and organize the distribution according to the expertise and ability.
……
The construction team was divided into four groups and carried out the operation in unison.
The construction of ramparts, the repair and renovation of houses, and the construction of military installations, etc.
New members join every day, and no idlers are raised, so we must complete the living facilities inside the school before the colder snap falls.
At the same time, an impregnable shelter is the most basic security guarantee.
Legion shelters were born out of the city, and the deployment of defensive buildings was all made of local materials, and buildings and walls were everywhere, saving time and avoiding trouble.
It's just that when all the progress is pushed together, it looks like it's in full swing.
Wang Tu felt even more deeply that the shelter lacked manpower.
The development of the shelter needs the support of talents from all walks of life, and only military attributes are not enough.
Functional teams, applied to all-round construction, the skills mastered by both hands, are the creative forces that human beings are best at.
And this happens to be something that the single-minded Red Alert soldiers do not have.
In the heart of the king, he wanted to build a huge organization of flesh and blood, not a cold and ruthless war machine.
When the king returned to the sanctuary, he was followed by a team of two hundred men.
With the addition of them, the size of the regiment officially reached a thousand.
Among them, there are more than 370 people, who are strengthened soldiers who have been promoted to the stars.
At this time, three days had passed since the war in the Memorial Square, and nothing else had happened except for a brief meeting of the key personnel.
The sanctuary promulgated rules and regulations, and many details were perfected in a short period of time.
People get up early to work, fill their stomachs, and perform their duties at their posts.
They curse in private, but they can't resist the temptation of a safe place to live in a dangerous environment.
Gradually, I got used to it.
The school has undergone a non-stop renovation and has changed beyond recognition.
Sandbags were piled up at strategic locations, built into strong fortifications, and machine guns were mounted inside.
Heavily armed and with a consistently indifferent expression, soldiers roamed the campus, patrolling without leaving any corners unturned.
A person's ability to adapt is often related to the environment in which they are exposed.
Most of them, just a day or two after they arrived, know how to work according to the captain's assignment.
As for the newcomers, they were carried by the soldiers in rags and walked on the way to report.
While staring at the orderly war facilities along the way with hungry and curious eyes.
On the one hand, with the corner of his eye, he peeked in horror at the few corpses near the cordon, which had not yet had time to be cleaned up.
