ALL NOVEL Chapter 185 You can actually grow vegetables
After handing in 200 kilograms of grain, Fu Hengyuan, Mu Jiu and the Gu family brothers and sisters followed the guards into the base.
The rest of the people stayed in the armored vehicle, with Zhao Yue leading the team to guard all the supplies in the vehicle.
The morning light base is very lively at night, especially the brightly lit area near the sea. The fishing boats entering and exiting the sea and the market on the shore are crowded at the moment.
Under the extremely hot and poisonous sunlight, everyone probably has acquiesced in a life of reverse day and night, getting up at night to be active and sleeping during the day.
The person leading the way was a strong man wearing a black vest, colorful beach pants and flip-flops. He had a pistol on the right side of his pants and a hidden knife on the left side.
He used the walkie-talkie to call a charged sightseeing minibus and sent Mu Jiu and others to the main building of the base.
The sightseeing bus was not moving very fast. Faced with the official group, the slipper brother wrapped himself in black and strangely dressed country bumpkins and proudly introduced the beautiful scenery in the base.
The sea breeze at night blew on my face and body, which was very cool and comfortable, and alleviated a lot of the discomfort caused by the extreme heat.
The bus passed through shantytowns, residential areas and single-family villa areas, and finally arrived in front of a high-rise complex building.
Surrounded by well-maintained greenery and huge granite plaques, it is not difficult to tell that this place was a high-end star hotel before the end of the world.
The facility environment remains as it was before the apocalypse, with old fitness equipment areas, children's slides and other recreational facilities.
However, due to the ravages of extreme weather, it has become unusable.
Mu Jiu guessed that this place was probably a resort developed by a private owner before the end of the world, similar to the hot spring resort where they were.
It's just that this seaside resort is larger in size. It has developed not only villas and hotels, but also large forest-style residential areas.
To the north is a large freshwater purification plant, to the south is a small cargo port, and further south is a large connected fishing village.
The right time, right place, and right people provide the perfect conditions for dealing with extremely hot weather.
It's hard to refuse to join this private base, and it seems that 50 pounds of food per person is not a loss.
Brother Slipper took the group of them to the living room on the first floor of the building and handed them over to several men and women in formal suits. One of the men in uniform said:
"Whether you are here on behalf of the official base or not, please hand over all the weapons you have before meeting with our base commander.
No sharp weapons, such as pistols or knives, can be brought upstairs.
We will keep it temporarily for you and will return it to you when you leave. "
Fu Hengyuan and Mu Jiu looked at each other. They must not act with their heads down when entering other people's territory.
So each of them placed the uniformly issued weapon belts tied around their waists in the baskets prepared for them.
They even ran a metal detector over each of them to feel reassured.
But Mu Jiu is not worried at all. There are mountains of weapons in her space, including tanks and armor. No one can stop her from doing anything she wants to do.
"What about this box?" asked the female uniform on the side.
“This is a gift that I want to personally give to your base commander. Each package is vacuum sealed so it is inconvenient to open.
But you can scan it with a detector and there are no hidden weapons. "
Mu Jiu said, this is a small amount of dried fruits and vegetables they brought.
One pound each of carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, spinach, leeks, cabbage, strawberries, blueberries, tangerines, lemons, grapes, etc.
All were vacuum packed into small bags and stuffed into a whole box.
Mu Jiu said as he opened the lid of the box and showed it to these people.
Sure enough, I was shocked when I saw it.
This is exactly the expression that Mu Jiu and Fu Hengyuan want to see. Only when they are rare do they become precious.
The female uniform stared at these dried fruits and vegetables with envy, and scanned them carefully with a metal detector, not missing a single place.
Although there are kelp, seaweed and other materials in the sea to supplement various trace elements, they cannot be compared with the rich variety of fruits and vegetables on land.
Most of the people in the base are not aboriginal residents of the coast. They really can't get used to the taste of those weird and different-colored seaweeds, but in order to survive, they can only swallow them in a mission-oriented manner.
After checking, they were finally able to go upstairs, which gave Mu Jiu enough time to check every room in the building.
The lower three floors of this complex hotel are the reception hall level, dining level and entertainment level.
The 18th floor up are ordinary private rooms, about 60 per floor, the 9th floor up are business rooms, about 40 per floor, and the next 2 floors are large suites, about 10 per floor.
The top floor is a special suite, the entire floor is integrated, including an infinity pool and private landing pad.
Several uniforms took Mu Jiu and others to the sightseeing elevator at the end, all the way to the top floor of the 33rd floor.
Then he led people into the small living room on one side, where a smart and well-dressed young woman wearing a heavy-duty cheongsam was already sitting on the leather sofa inside, waiting.
"Mr. Li, we've brought him here!" the women's uniform department reported.
"Please take a seat." The woman greeted them with a smile, but did not stand up. The host's airs and manners were thrown away in their faces.
Her eyes swept over Fu Hengyuan and Mu Jiu one by one, and finally stopped at the brothers Gu Yang and Gu Nuan.
The fleeting strangeness in the woman's eyes was quickly caught by Mu Jiu and Fu Hengyuan. Could it be someone who knew the brother and sister?
But the two of them did not expose this, and sat on the sofas on both sides of the living room respectively. The Gu brothers and sisters stood beside Mu Jiu, like two beautiful doorman dolls.
“I heard from the people below that you are here to discuss fresh water business on behalf of the official base.
I remember that in the bulk business in Tamsui, there was a boss named Su who was also from your official base.
It seems that he is still at the level of deputy base director. Why are you still divided into factions for official procurement? "
Mr. Li's direct question put Fu Hengyuan on the fire, ready to roast it at any time.
If he says otherwise, that doesn't make sense.
But if he says yes, then the other party will definitely feel that they are having internal conflicts, and will take the opportunity to increase the price, make them fight in the ring, and ultimately make them thankless.
Mu Jiu spoke before Fu Hengyuan: "How could it be possible? Mr. Li was joking, of course official procurement does not distinguish between factions.
However, due to the large population and large water consumption, all the fresh water transported back by Deputy Base Chief Su was used to solve people's livelihood problems.
Knowing that the freshwater purification efficiency of Chenguang Base is high, we want to expand the scale and open a separate water supply road for the vegetable and fruit growing department, with dedicated water only. "
Mr. Li raised his eyebrows, obviously interested, "Oh? You have grown vegetables and fruits?
I heard that there is a serious water shortage in the interior, all rivers and lakes have disappeared, and all kinds of plants are almost dead.
You can still grow vegetables? Could it be that you are teasing me? "
They also thought about growing some fruits and vegetables to eat in the surrounding wasteland under the extremely hot weather, favorable time, place, and people.
But who knew that seeds that had been frozen by the extreme cold for more than three years would be as if they were dead and could not be bred.
There are many planting experts and professors under their command, but it doesn't help.
Experts can only cultivate other green trees in the base to be extremely lush, but they cannot eat any of the eggs.
Even the large coconut trees on the beach are fruitless.
After the extreme heat started, I didn't see half a coconut, but the coconut trees grew taller and stronger.
