Doomsday magician

Chapter 248 Old Chinese Medicine

"I heard that our commander-in-chief has done a lot of things recently."

On Anshun Island, An Hai and several other senior officials of Anshun Island chatted casually while drinking beer.Before he knew it, the topic turned to Xu Bai.

"Yeah, their ability team has been hunting zombies more and more frantically recently. Every time those people come back, I can smell a faint rotten smell... By the way, there are still many people carrying rulers by the lake Measuring the land, it seems that they are preparing to plow the fields. I don’t know what they want to do, plant rice?” The person who spoke shrugged, looking very puzzled.

"Maybe they don't have enough food." Someone speculated.

An Hai shook his head, and said: "Although I don't know how much food they have, the stock is definitely not less than ours. And they only have 1000 people. It is estimated that there will be no problems in at least three to five months. It can last a lot longer if you put it right. In my opinion, they are doing this purely to try to restore production."

"Huh? Are those people out of their wits? They insist on doing such a thankless thing." An old friend of An Hai was very disapproving of this.

"Yeah, there is no order at all now. Just go outside and search for whatever you want. Just take what you like. Isn't it easier than growing your own? Those young people just think too much. God knows when dozens Wan Zombies are coming again, maybe they will ruin their half-grown rice." Another voice echoed.

An Hai looked at them and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

"Everyone wants to go to the town to search, but the things left before the end of the world are limited after all. In the past few months, do you feel that it is getting more and more difficult to find things? Let me tell you, this is just the beginning In the future, we will find less and less, until all the remaining materials are exhausted or damaged. At that time, let alone food, all kinds of daily necessities, clothes, vehicles, etc., will need to be done by ourselves. "

His words touched the senior officials of Anshun Island, but there were still many people who planned to be a monk to hit the clock for a day, and they seemed to be indifferent to it.

"Ugh."

An Hai became more and more helpless. He found that some people became more confused as they got older, and their understanding of things was not as good as that of an old man like him.Although he said that he had given up persuading certain people, he still made up his mind in his heart to cultivate some fields with Xu Bai and the others.Regardless of the amount, at least a model of self-reliance must be established.

At the same time, in other camps of the Changshan Lake District Alliance, various high-level officials also secretly paid attention to Xu Bai's actions.Some people sensed Xu Bai's intentions and tried to follow along.Of course, some people secretly laughed and sneered, watching with cold eyes.

Xu Bai knew a little about these things, but he was too busy to pay any attention to them.

Under the leadership of the leopards, enough seeds to plant thousands of acres of land were brought back, as well as a lot of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and agricultural tools.Seeing that the time for rice planting was getting closer, Xu Bai began to look for farmers who could farm.

You know, compared with other crops, the process of rice cultivation is relatively complicated.There are many steps such as sowing, raising seedlings, plowing, transplanting seedlings, weeding, fertilizing, water management, etc., and the requirements for technology and experience are also higher.Moreover, because there are many zombie fish in the nearby lake, if you want to divert water for irrigation, you need to filter out those zombie fish.If it is not an experienced farmer, it is very likely that there will be problems of one kind or another, which will directly lead to a large area of ​​production reduction or even no harvest.

But that's the problem. Among the survivors of his convoy, there are not many experienced farmers who have grown rice.Xu Bai encountered the same problem as when growing vegetables on Gushan, lacking the corresponding talents.

Taking into account the abnormal environment and lack of experience, Xu Bai and the others initially planned to cultivate [-] mu of land in the first season.

It is roughly two acres per person, which is almost enough to support myself.However, to grow so much rice requires a lot of skilled labor.For this reason, the Xu Bai team had to open a temporary training class to teach many survivors how to grow rice.

Besides, cleaning out the buffer is not an easy task.

In the first three days, the elite team went smoothly, killing tens of thousands of zombies.But soon they discovered that in the area that had just been cleaned up, new zombies would wander over from a distance every three or two days.

In order to consolidate the results, they had to separate some people to continue cleaning.Moreover, the third-order zombies encountered from time to time are also a dangerous thing.Fortunately, with the addition of Cen Baobao, the strength of the elite team has also increased dramatically.Except for a few cases where Xu Bai had to deal with it himself, they were already able to deal with most of the zombie groups alone.

It took almost ten days for the elite team to reach the point where there were no zombies within [-] kilometers of the reclamation site.

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will never get wet.Such a fierce killing of zombies, there must be some people who unfortunately died because of encountering third-order zombies.After the whole cleaning process, two supernatural beings were infected successively.One of them was lucky enough to use the virus vaccine developed by Lao Fan to successfully relieve the virus, while the other one failed to be rescued.Although under the suppression of supernatural powers, he lasted far longer than ordinary survivors, but in the end he was defeated by the zombie virus...

However, this also gave Xu Bai hope.

Perhaps, with his current strength, even if he is infected with the virus, he can suppress him infinitely.Of course, he wouldn't venture to the point of trying it himself.

The death of a supernatural person undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the small elite team, making them more careful when dealing with zombies.It's just that during this period, Xu Bai took in people with supernatural abilities one after another, and successfully added five more team members to the team.Therefore, not only did the strength of the elite group not decrease, but they fought more and more and became stronger.

Unknowingly, the time has advanced to April [-]th.

On this day, almost all the survivors belonging to Xu Bai left the island by boat and began to get busy at the designated land reclamation site.Some trained main laborers began to sow rice seeds under the command of experienced farmers, and other people who could help followed suit, and those who didn't know what to do were watching curiously.In any case, they are still very happy to see this scene of self-reliance in full swing.

Two thousand mu of land is definitely not much, but it is actually quite large. The 1000 people stood apart, inconspicuous at all.

However, there are five or six camps on the edge not too far away.Some of them sincerely want to grow some food, and some just do it out of indifference or even a simple statement.As for the area they plan to plant, it also varies in size, ranging from tens of acres to seven or eight hundred acres, but even if they add up, they are not as large as Xu Bai's.

Because it was the first time to plow the fields, many people still made a mess even though they had received training in advance and had special personnel to correct them.Xu Bai looked at it for a long time, and felt that it was necessary to set aside a special section in the logistics department to be responsible for the cultivation of food and vegetables. This can be regarded as a perfection of the current system of the team.

"team leader?"

At this moment, Lao Fan, who had been doing research all the time, came to find him with dark circles under his eyes.

For the team's main doctor, who also developed an incomplete virus vaccine with shabby equipment, Xu Bai still looked at it very much.Although it mainly relies on the report of Professor Xia from Jin'an base, even so, it is enough to prove his extraordinary.

"What can I do for you?" Xu Bai asked kindly.

Lao Fan nodded and said, "The team took in two new people yesterday, do you remember?"

Xu Bai thought for a while, and had a little impression of the white-haired old man in his 60s, so he said, "Remember, it's really rare for him to survive half a year in the apocalypse at his age. I remember that Jin'an Among the 70 million people in the base, the number of people over 60 years old can be counted on two hands."

"He is actually an authority in Chinese medicine." Lao Fan had a bit of joy on his face, obviously conscious of making a lot of money.

"Really?" Xu Bai was a little surprised, but more delighted.

"Of course it's true." Lao Fan obviously verified his background, patted his chest and said: "It's absolutely not wrong, he comes from a family of Chinese medicine practitioners, and he has been practicing medicine for more than 40 years. First-class authority. I came to you just to get him a proper treatment."

"What is there to hesitate? Of course such an expert must stay."

Xu Bai made a decision immediately, and decided to give the Chinese medicine authority a place as the deputy head of the medical team, and the salary was only a little worse than that of Lao Fan.

There is also a reason why he values ​​Chinese medicine so much.

Before the apocalypse, western medicine was relatively simple and perfect, and learners could often use various pills and injections in a targeted manner as long as they followed the systematic diagnosis methods mentioned in the books.If there is no accident, it is basically easy to cure common diseases.In contrast, Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing and asking, and requires a lot of experience to judge.Therefore, western medicine once overwhelmed traditional Chinese medicine and occupied a great advantage.

But in the last days, this advantage suddenly disappeared.

In the last days, there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and the leftover pills and injections are simply not enough to support the consumption of the survivors.Without the production of ready-made western medicine, western medicine is nothing at all.Chinese medicine is different. Countless herbs can be found in the wild, and there are medical techniques such as acupuncture that can assist, which is very suitable for the situation in the end times.

Up to now, Xu Bai and his team's drug reserves have been reduced to a dangerous level.The appearance of this Chinese medicine doctor undoubtedly greatly relieved their pressure.It was for this reason that Xu Bai valued that 60-year-old man so much.

"Then, let's open another branch under the medical group and let him teach Chinese medicine."
