The new era strikes

Chapter 389 Food Crisis
Soon, Lu Tian received the news that they will gather in Yanshan seven days later.

The army has already begun to contact zombies on a small scale, such as detecting intelligence, understanding the strength and distribution of zombies, and adjusting their strategy.

Lu Tian also left the base in the lake and headed north. There was no urgency, and he fought all the way through the mountains and forests.

Soon, he walked to the territory of Shuinan Province, where the terrain was open and flat, and it was difficult to see a single human habitation within a hundred miles. All he saw were wild grass and wild animals.

At night, I found a dry cave, sat on a stone at random without a fire, and started to practice routinely.

Dudu~
In the middle of the night, there was another vibration sound. Lu Tian opened his eyes and picked up his mobile phone.

"Zhou Cheng, why does it seem like you've disappeared recently? Nothing happened, right?" Lu Tian showed a smile at the corner of his mouth. He really hadn't contacted Zhou Cheng for a long time.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to contact you. It's mainly because the old guys at home are in charge. They don't let me use the satellite phone or let me take leave. They say they want us to concentrate on doing things..." Zhou Cheng said bitterly again. Tone, it seems that there is a lot of resentment.

Through his narration, Lu Tian also learned a lot about the situation.It turned out that after the Zhou family gave up the interests of many underground bases, they united with several forces and spent a lot of energy to operate several above-ground bases.

These bases are all newly established, basically starting from scratch.The Zhou family also put in all their strength. Young masters like Zhou Cheng even went to move bricks, which was very difficult.

From a national perspective, many forces are now establishing bases on their own, no longer limited to the official, as long as you have financial resources and materials, you can go to a certain place to build.

Not only will the government not ban it, but it will encourage it, because it can greatly relieve their pressure, and it can also make full use of the remaining materials, which is beneficial to the survival of human beings in terms of overall strategy.

"Looking at what you said, wouldn't you be free? Tell me where you are, and I'll stop by to see you."

Zhou Cheng's tone was serious: "We have to wait a bit. Food is in short supply recently. We are looking for food. Otherwise, if those survivors can't get food, our base will exist in name only."

Lu Tian sighed: "Food has basically become a big problem for human beings. Recently, food is in short supply. What are you going to do?"

Zhou Cheng said helplessly: "Hunting and killing ferocious animals, cultivating crops, collecting leftover food, as long as there is something edible, they are basically doing it."

"Then how many people are there in your base now?"

"It's less than [-]. After all, it's the initial stage, and it hasn't attracted many survivors yet."

"Do you need my help? You're welcome, I'm free now!"

"I don't need it for now. After all, it was done by several forces. Your identity is sensitive. It's a good thing to help me, but maybe the other companies don't think so. It's not good to have a misunderstanding at that time."

"I understand, call me when you're done."

"No problem, as long as there is an opportunity, I will definitely contact you. After all, you are the only brother who still has news. I cherish it!"

"You boy, don't be like this, it makes me a little uncomfortable. It seems that I have grown a lot recently."

"Hehe, pressure, it's impossible to be as unreliable as before."

The two talked and laughed, talked about the recent events, and recalled the past events, both of them were quite emotional.

Time passed quickly, half an hour passed while talking, and Zhou Cheng couldn't occupy the satellite phone by himself, so he had to end the call.

Lu Tian looked up at the starry sky, was slightly dazed for a while, and then continued to practice.

After eating the animal meat in the morning, I arrived at a national road. Except for a lot of wild grass and vines, it was not damaged.

Suddenly black smoke rose in the distance, and then the roar of the engine came. It turned out to be an old tractor. Looking at its rusty and yellow appearance, Lu Tian was afraid that it would fall apart.

"This voice is not afraid to distract zombies and beasts!"

Lu Tian muttered, and didn't go to see more, but walked along the provincial road. There were too many strange things in the mountains, which annoyed him a bit. In addition, he talked to Zhou Cheng yesterday, and he also wanted to see the figure.

The driver of the tractor was an old man, although he was 60 or [-] years old, but his body was very strong, much stronger than ordinary people. There were some sundries and blood stains in the trailer box behind him. He was probably a hunter.

This man just glanced at Lu Tian, ​​and then drove the tractor roaring past, the sound was really noisy.

After the people left, Lu Tian picked up his speed. He was going to buy some things in a distance, and many of them were used up during this time.

The sun rose a lot, and Lu Tian also walked to a gathering place. Many places were surrounded by railings or barbed wire. If zombies or wild animals rushed, they could easily block it.

He walked all the way, and felt as if the neighborhood had been swept away by locusts, all valuables were gone, even some edible plants and trees had been pulled out, and even the roots, insects, ants and mice hadn't escaped, and it looked like a barren place.

If it weren't for the danger in the farther places, and the opponents who are not beasts, it is estimated that even the ones in the mountains will not be able to survive.

The most astonishing thing was the many bones. With Lu Tian's eyesight, he could immediately tell that they were not bones of zombies.

Zombie bones are basically black, rotten, and brittle, so how can they be so white.

Lu Tian understood that most of the bones were starved to death, and there were many refugees wandering around there. If anyone died, they would be able to have a full meal.

Flies all over the sky, people lying on the rotting bones, sticking their buttocks, chewing regardless of the stench, that kind of scene, even if he had killed a lot of people, he felt his stomach rolling and shuddered.

He seemed to be popular, but he didn't expect it to look like this. It can be seen how short of food is, and within ten steps you can see a person who is starved or even starved to death.

Walking into the bazaar here, the terrifying scene will completely disappear. The people here are all capable, otherwise they would not be able to set up stalls or buy things.

"I want these..."

Lu Tian walked to a booth and picked out a lot of things. When he finally paid, he found that the price was much higher.

Then it suddenly dawned on me that there has been a shortage of food recently, and the prices of natural items have risen a lot.

He didn't stay for long, and went into the forest again. Seeing his family living like this, his heart was extremely heavy.

Something had to be done, if only there was plenty of food.

"I heard that the military has controlled ten plots of land across the country to grow food, but unfortunately it can only be provided to the military, and the base's food can only be solved by itself."

Originally, he hadn't thought about the issue of food, but seeing so many people eating dead bodies today, he was also hit.

"It is now May, and the temperature is rising rapidly, which is suitable for growing food. I have to mention it to the Association of Extraordinary People, so that extraordinary people everywhere can fully support food production!"

Lu Tian soon knew what he should do. He really couldn't grow any food by himself, but he was the vice president of the Extraordinary Association and was qualified to influence the overall situation.

This day, Lu Tian was thinking about this matter, and it was only at night that Lu Tian went to learn about it.

As soon as I learned about it, I realized that now all the bases are almost out of pure food. Extraordinary people and people with background can still eat the meat of beasts, while ordinary people can only eat leaves and grass roots. Tens of thousands of people starve to death every day.

Although each base has reclaimed land, the area is not large because of the need for a large number of manpower and the threat of zombies.

In addition, the weeds are very vigorous, the pesticides are stopped, and the yield of the old crop will be very low.

The combination of these reasons made the final output pitifully low, not enough for the number of people in the base.

"Cultivate new varieties, expand the planting area, and have supernatural beings guard them, and this problem can be solved."

Lu Tian squatted on the ground and thought briefly.

"We all need manpower. I hope everyone can unite and grow the food well!"

Attacking the imperial capital this time will consume a huge amount of money. The military department is busy with this matter, so it must be too late to take care of ordinary people. When the imperial capital is defeated, most people will starve to death.

The number of human beings was not as many as zombies and alien beasts. If more than half of them were starved to death, the situation would be even more difficult.

"We must mobilize the last strength of everyone. If we don't struggle, we will lose our chance!"

Lu Tian squeezed his palms, and he analyzed that most of the stronger transcendents would go to the battlefield, and those level 2/3 transcendents could not be sent, because human guns were enough to make up for this part of the combat power.

It is absolutely most suitable to send these people to grow food. A transcendent person is worth a few ordinary people, and with special abilities, it is not difficult to grow food smoothly.

"It's up to me to raise this matter, and the specific situation needs to be discussed!"

After all, it is a national issue. If there are not enough reasons and interests, no one else will do it.

In the end, he handed over the matter to Tian Lao to draft the document, which will be formally proposed tomorrow at the latest. The other high-level executives are all smart people, so they will definitely not object.
