The winner of the last days is king

Chapter 51: Busy

Everyone lurked around the big bird's nest for nearly three hours, but there was still no sign of the big bird. Chang Le finally figured it out, the big bird might have given up on this nest.After sighing, he told his subordinates not to hide any longer.

Under Zhao Liang's leadership, everyone returned to Guandi Temple.After a short rest, Chang Le took a look at the sky and decided to continue walking down the mountain along the Guandi Temple.

From the Guandi Temple to the foot of the mountain, it was less than one kilometer away, but the previous two explorations were stopped halfway due to the disturbance of the big bird.This time there was finally no trouble from the big bird, so Chang Le naturally wanted to explore here.

Chang Le's heart suddenly became excited when he saw that the thousands of acres of winter wheat outside the mountain had begun to ear.It seemed that it had been many years since he had seen such a large area of ​​crop land. This reminded him of his childhood in the Great Northern Wilderness.

In the endless wheat field, a large group of children under the age of ten ran wildly in the field, in order to find a wild vegetable that was bigger than the others.However, they dig wild vegetables not to feed their family members, but to feed the chickens, ducks and geese raised at home.

In Chang Le's impression, he never seemed to worry about food when he was young, and every family in the company seemed to have more vegetable land than the farmers in Guanli.Especially the private plots used to grow overwintering vegetables, each family has several acres, which is absolutely unbelievable for farmers in Hebei and Shandong.

When I returned to Beijing in the late 80s, I could still see a lot of farmland, but in recent years, it seems that vegetable fields can only be seen in mountainous areas, and they are all in front of and behind houses.As for the stretches of farmland, it seems that they can only be found from memory.

But now, right in front of his eyes, he saw a thousand acres of wheat fields, and Chang Le's childhood memories came back to him, and he couldn't help singing a childhood song.

Among the eleven people who came with Chang Le, although most of them came from all over the country to work, most of them came from county towns or small and medium-sized cities, so basically no one engaged in farm work.When they saw this large farmland, they felt more novelty.

Only one soldier named Sun Rui said in surprise: "The wheat here is so tall, nearly half higher than the wheat at our house, and the ears of wheat are also surprisingly big, a bit like ears of corn!"

"Does your family have land?" Chang Le asked curiously after hearing this.

"Our family is in Qin County, Shanxi Province, and the millet produced there is very famous."

Chang Le pointed to the wheat field in the distance, and said: "The wheat in this wheat field is too exaggerated. It is almost as tall as a person. If it is ripe, the yield per mu will not be more than a thousand catties!"

"According to the current growth rate, I'm afraid it is possible to produce two thousand catties per mu."

"So high?" Chang Le blushed slightly after hearing this, and said, "I remember when I was a child in the Northeast, the yield per mu was only a few hundred catties. I didn't expect the yield per mu to be so high now."

"I heard that the yield per mu is not high there, mainly because of the climate." Sun Rui smiled and relieved Chang Le. "There is nothing to say about the land in the Northeast, but the summer is too short and the temperature is low, so the grain yield per mu cannot be compared with that in the Guan."

Chang Le didn't want to continue talking about this issue, so he looked at the zombies wandering in the distance, and said, "I'm going back. Let's clean up the zombies here tomorrow, and this land will be our food base from now on."

In the next week, all members of the combat team temporarily gave up the action of cleaning up the zombies in the area outside the gate of the base, and went all out to clean up the zombies in the area where the wheat field was located.

From the map, this area belongs to three adjacent villages, with a total of thousands of acres of wheat fields, and on the east and west sides of this area, there are two reservoirs, one large and one small, which are definitely the best future for the entire base. The food production area, so Chang Le decided to make great efforts to clean up this area first.

However, the environment here is more complicated, belonging to the transitional area from the mountains to the plains, and the Lala Lake Reservoir located on the west side of this area, less than two kilometers to the west, is a large residential area.

After clearing this area, Chang Le had to make a very painful decision to use an excavator to excavate a two-kilometer-long, ten-meter-wide and three-three-meter-long road one kilometer west of Lala Lake Reservoir. Then the water from the Lala Lake Reservoir was introduced into this trench, thus completely blocking the road from here to the west.

The reason why it was painful for him to make this decision is because there is still a large area of ​​arable land further west, but due to the serious shortage of manpower, he is really unable to continue to organize a combat team to continue cleaning westward.

This wasn't because they couldn't beat the zombies, but because they left the mountains completely to the west and entered the open plains.After the spring rain in March, the movement speed of the zombies has increased significantly, and their mobility has also become stronger. Often, some big movement a few hundred meters away can attract them.

This is also the most fundamental reason why the combat team's speed of clearing the area outside the gate of the base has dropped all of a sudden recently.Every time they go out to clean up, they must clean up a pre-planned street as quickly as possible, otherwise it is very likely to attract the zombies on the surrounding streets, which is very likely to fall into a trap. In the endless tug-of-war.

More importantly, there are only a little more than 4000 people in the base. Although there are no old or young people who cannot participate in labor, it is really difficult to rely on these people to control dozens of square kilometers of land and at the same time fight against the outside world. Some are reluctant.

In addition, among these thousands of people, the total number of people who have actually done farm work is less than a hundred, and even these people are not farmers who work at home, so they are not proficient in farm work at all. I hope these people can lead everyone to serve There are thousands of acres of wheat fields, and it is not an easy task.So after repeated consideration, Changle could only give up more land in the end to ensure that the current land can be managed well.

After the trench was dug, Chang Le allocated two-thirds of the personnel in the base on the mountain to the foot of the mountain, as the personnel who will manage this large area of ​​cultivated land in the future.Then 200 people were selected from them as reserve members of the combat team.

Members of these reserves were established specifically to protect cultivated areas.After all, the base camp is nearly two kilometers away from here, and all of them are mountain roads. Once something happens here, it will be difficult to come here in time.That's why this reserve brigade was formed, and members of the combat team led them to cross the ditch from the mountain south of the ditch to the west, and improve their physical fitness and combat quality by fighting zombies.

During this period, the members of the combat team and the members of the reserve team spent half a month advancing westward along the road for nearly four kilometers to the Beijing Normal University Medicine Institute.Their original purpose was to help the doctor find some research equipment from here, but unexpectedly rescued fifteen survivors from here.

All the fifteen survivors were staff members of the drug institute, but there were only six researchers among them, and the rest were staff members who had nothing to do with the research.What's even more surprising is that these fifteen survivors have all reached the standard of one-degree evolution. As long as they can kill the evolutionary zombies, they can complete the evolution.

The leader of these survivors has even completed evolution. If it weren't for the fact that the leader of the combat team was Shi Guoqing and possessed special abilities, these few survivors might not be convinced.

Among the six researchers, four of them are interns who just graduated from the university, and the remaining two are just ordinary researchers. Fortunately, they have a solid grasp of the basic knowledge, so they were directly assigned to the doctor's office by Chang Le. men.

Since the end of the world, many viruses seem to have changed, so that many of the medicines collected by them can no longer have the original effect.But fortunately, those who can survive have a significantly stronger physique than before, so their resistance has become higher than before. In addition, those who can survive are basically young people, so basically they rarely suffer from Sickness, even if you have a headache, you can still get over it.

It is precisely because of this that Chang Le's only doctor works very easily.So, in my spare time, I turned to academic research.However, since there is not even the necessary experimental equipment, many things are still in the hypothetical stage.Now there are six more subordinates, and a lot of professional experimental equipment has been brought in, which makes his research work really start to work.

After clearing the zombies in the plowing area, the members of the combat team, except for some who were responsible for leading the reserve members, began to advance towards Xiangshan.Their task is not Xiangshan, but the botanical garden next to Xiangshan.To be precise, I hope to find the surviving scientific researchers from the botanical garden.

In Chang Le's view, although planting crops is different from planting trees, there must be some similarities.Even if there is not much connection, it is easier to figure out the pattern than these people under him.
