Infinite Disaster Survival

Everyone who received the new type of seeds was very excited. Before the disaster, they stored uncontaminated soil in their houses according to the news released by the state, but when the temperature was so low that people could not bear it, it was difficult to force plants to grow.

Therefore, most ordinary people received cold-resistant seeds, and they kept the key points of planting firmly in mind. They could not help but take a few more glances every day. No one had any doubts, and the seeds planted sprouted in everyone's expectations.

The seeds that can grow on contaminated soil are mainly sown by the state. Even after many experiments to determine the effect, local governments still carefully selected places with less pollution and carried out large-scale planting after the temperature rose again.

Although ordinary people received less, they still received the latter type of seeds because they could improve the environment. People living in the same area gathered these small number of plantings by individuals and planted them in the original green belts around their homes.

When you look out of the window, you can see the green that is difficult to describe downstairs, and your mood will be better for the whole day.

The green belt that has been restored to its function has become a treasure for the surrounding residents, and they are all carefully cared for. When the buds first sprouted, even the birds raised by Tuantuan would be nervous when they flew over. Later, they found that these birds, including the two dogs, were taught not to run around and eat randomly, and they slowly put their minds at ease.

After the new seeds appeared, Wen Zheng, as the provider of most of the research content, was very clear about the effects of these seeds.

In particular, there are system reminders to prove it, which eliminates the possibility of very low probability of mistakes made by researchers in this world.

[Hidden task-researching a solution to the food crisis has been completed, and the reward is determined based on the contribution to this task, with a reward of 300,000 points. ]

A large number of points were stored, which made up for most of the losses of Wen Zheng's purchases.

With the guarantee given by the game system, Wen Zheng took the proof of all the properties to get enough seeds, not only planted in the supermarket, but also went to the government to contract a piece of polluted land.

This decision made many people talk about Wen Zheng behind his back again, but no one dared to follow him and make the same decision.

After all, the number of seeds that each person can receive for free is limited. If the number exceeds the limit, additional purchases are required, not to mention the price of leasing the land.

The short "warm" season in the third year of the disaster lasted only less than three months. During this period, people used their time to plant plants with short growth periods as much as possible, and the harvested quantity would supply the needs of the next nine months.

Three months is enough to prove that purifying seeds can improve polluted land. Not only has the soil been restored, but even the surrounding water sources have become much clearer.

These changes accumulated over time give people confidence, and it may also be a psychological effect. On this piece of land planted with plants, some people took off the masks they had to wear outdoors, and the air they inhaled was no longer as pungent as they remembered. It was just that after taking off the mask for a long time, their faces were a little frozen.

It's just that the plants planted on the polluted land cannot be eaten, but they are not wasted. They are all stored as fuel for the winter. It makes people a little greedy. Wen Zheng calculated after the harvest that he didn't lose much this time, and even made a little profit.

After the coldest days of the year slowly passed, the sheep that had not been slaughtered in the supermarket became pregnant. The ewe received the most careful care. When the lambs were born, the temperature just warmed up, and all three lambs survived.

Someone wanted to buy lambs, Wen Zheng calculated the appetite of the animals, and finally sold one, and raised the remaining two well. He used fresh vegetables to exchange for some feed that had been stored for many years and was difficult for humans to eat to raise sheep. There was still some excess goat milk, which was boiled and processed and given away for free to nearby families with young children.

After the disaster, the birth rate of newborns dropped to single digits. Those who were born at this time and survived were relatively special families.

Wen Zheng was well-known in the surrounding area, but in fact he was not very famous in the entire Songyang City. There were no children born after the disaster nearby, but there were children who were born not long after the volcanic eruption. Few of them survived to the present, and they are only a little over three years old now.

The goat milk sent over has been processed and has no fishy smell. After it is sent over, it only needs a small amount of firewood to heat it. The milk powder stored at home has been consumed long ago. The young and somewhat thin children drink the mellow goat milk, and their eyes light up.

The parents feel sad when they see it, and they are even more grateful to Wen Zheng in their hearts. They always pay attention to the situation on Wen Zheng's side. When they heard that Wen Zheng did not hire anyone when sowing, they felt relieved when they felt regretful. When the weather got colder, they heard that Wen Zheng was recruiting people to harvest, and the stronger men went out to sign up.

At least Wen Zheng would not ignore their lives when recruiting people to work.

This time, Wen Zheng planted a kind of alfalfa that can be eaten by humans and animals, grows fast, can fertilize the land, and has strong resistance in all aspects.

The short "warm" weather has just passed, and scientists have developed seeds that combine the dual characteristics of cold resistance and pollution resistance. Based on the experience of the first batch of seeds distributed, vegetables with good taste are not necessary in this difficult period. Nutrition, yield, and resistance are the most important points to pay attention to.

When the weather turned into winter again, new varieties of alfalfa seeds arrived in Songyang City, but in small quantities. Wen Zheng bought some seeds with the priority rights he had purchased before and continued to plant them on the land he had rented before.

It has not snowed in the long winter that has just arrived. Even if the land has not frozen after several rounds of planting, it still needs to be turned over before it can be sown again.

This time, it is not only Wen Zheng who is planting on the polluted land nearby. Two more groups of people have started new attempts. One of them is called Boss Zhou. The area of ​​land selected is almost twice the size of the land rented by Wen Zheng. It is not far from the land rented by Wen Zheng and the pollution level is also relatively low.

Wen Zheng estimated that Boss Yang bought most of the seeds this time.

Before sowing, the land needs to be turned over. There are two options for turning over the land. One is to rent agricultural machinery. Many of the ones produced before the disaster have been preserved to this day, but agricultural machinery consumes energy and costs a lot.

The other is to hire people for manual digging.

The second is an extremely hurtful job. When Wen Zheng first tried it, he rented agricultural machinery. He did not go to private companies, but to the local government. Because it was extra income and Wen Zheng had a good reputation, the rental fee was half cheaper.

Wen Zheng also chose to rent again. Another boss named Wang, whose planting area was smaller than Wen Zheng's, followed Wen Zheng's footsteps and chose to rent agricultural machinery. Only Boss Zhou sent people with loudspeakers to recruit people around. There was no salary, but food was provided.

The people sent by Boss Zhou were good at talking. They said that staying at home and consuming food for nothing, going to work for Boss Zhou, the food in the stomach was absorbed by the body. Even if it was consumed later, it was better for the body than eating one meal a day. Moreover, the body would warm up once it was active. It was all considered as exercise. It was enough to take care of the vegetables grown at home in the morning and evening.

Quite a few people were persuaded.

When these people first went there, the food was quite good. Each person had two fist-sized multi-grain steamed buns, and water was provided without limit. Although the multi-grain steamed buns didn't taste good, they were really filling when eaten with water, making people feel full for a long time.

Some people even thought about the future or their family members, and they were cruel to themselves and ate one, leaving one in their clothes and taking it home. In this low temperature weather, it would not go bad even if it was stored for half a month.

The steamed buns he received warmed his heart. He smashed down with a hoe. Even though his wrist was a little painful from the recoil, he was still willing to work for Boss Zhou.

During that time, Boss Zhou's reputation surpassed Wen Zheng. It was said that Wen Zheng had supplies but didn't know how to recruit people, but took them to the government to rent agricultural machinery. In fact, he was looking for an excuse to send things to the government. The small favors he usually gave were deliberately taken out for show.

"Boss, someone is definitely deliberately smearing you." The supermarket employee said anxiously and angrily when he saw Wen Zheng and Tuantuan coming over. Then, when he met Wen Zheng's calm eyes, those emotions were like a punctured balloon, all released.

"I'm just a small person. No one knows me outside our area. Why do you spend so much effort to smear me?" Wen Zheng smiled and didn't care at all. Tuantuan, who had grown much taller, looked thoughtful.

"But you can't let them talk about you like this. They've been talking more and more harshly lately." The employee continued to mutter in a low voice, as if he understood. The two Huskies next to him stood up and shouted twice, as if they agreed.

Wen Zheng said helplessly: "Don't worry about it anymore. My land has been turned over and the seeds have been sown. Let's follow the previous rules. If you are willing to take the shift, please come to me to sign up. If there are not enough people, I will recruit more people."

If there is no one to guard the land planted with plants, someone will really steal it.

Wen Zheng had long expected this situation. There was an ownerless house next to the land he chose. After the renovation to increase the warmth, people brought Huskies and birds to live in it to guard it.

Every time, two people were responsible for guarding. The two Huskies were used to running wild in the wild. After they were told, they were let go to guard the fields just to let them release their nature. They were big and were the best deterrent. After being carefully trained by Tuantuan, the birds are all top-notch sirens, and they fly fast. Once they hear a noise, they can fly out in a circle. If they want to run, they will follow behind, but they will be caught up by dogs before they can run far.

Not only can they protect against people, but they can also protect against animals that have survived to this day.

This level of defense has prevented Wen Zheng's fields from suffering losses in the past year. In the future, Wen Zheng and Tuantuan will bring supplies to reward the people in charge of guarding from time to time.

As expected of a carefully selected variety, the alfalfa seeds sprouted soon after they were sown, while the land of Boss Zhou, who was not far away, had not been turned over yet.

Every time Wen Zheng went to reward the people who protected the fields, he could hear the employees gossiping about Boss Zhou next door.

First, the progress of turning the soil was too slow, and Boss Zhou sent people to supervise everyone's progress. Those who deliberately slacked off were punished by having half of their meals taken away. Those who slacked off many times were not only fired but also had to return the lost food.

At first, some people cheered, but as the supervisors became more and more strict, some people couldn't stand it and wanted to quit the job, but they saw the contract they signed at that time.

Not only could they not leave, but they also found that the quality of the daily meals had declined. The two grain steamed buns for each meal were smaller than before, and they didn't know what was added, making it even harder to swallow, and they were not allowed to take it out. The unlimited drinking water also had some odor, and it felt that it was not purified.

However, due to Boss Zhou's previous good reputation, they couldn't take the food out, so these changes did not cause much trouble.

Wen Zheng heard the employees gossip that the people hired by Boss Zhou privately called him Zhou Baopi and were preparing to collect evidence to complain to the government.

The next day after hearing this, Wen Zheng heard that someone went to the government to report Boss Zhou. He just listened to a few words, and before he walked far, he heard someone else say: "This is not an ordinary report. I heard that someone worked for Boss Zhou and died of exhaustion, and there are more than one person."

When this was said, everyone around him shut up. Wen Zheng's footsteps paused for a few seconds, and turned to his own field to inquire about the real situation. The staff on duty just finished asking and told Wen Zheng all at once.

Someone was really exhausted by the supervisor. Others just thought he was resting nearby, and the supervisor thought he was lazy and kicked him. The man was actually fainted from exhaustion, and he rolled to the ground with this kick, and his head hit the stone and bled.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the people who didn't move at this time were surprised. Someone pushed another person who was sitting on the ground to rest, and found that this person had quietly stopped breathing. His weak body couldn't bear such a degree of fatigue, and he was supplemented with nutrition, so he died of exhaustion.

The employees hired by Boss Zhou were not afraid of death, so even if they signed the contract, they were unwilling to do the job. They followed the supervisor to watch the bodies of the two dead people and simply moved them to the government to report Boss Zhou.

This report only made the supervisor get the judgment he deserved. Boss Zhou did not participate in the actual management in the future. He pushed most of the mistakes on the supervisor. He only compensated the family of the deceased and did not do anything himself.

In fact, it still had an impact.

Boss Zhou's gradually deteriorating reputation was completely out of control. It was in contrast to Wen Zheng before, and it is still now, but the reputations of the two have reversed. Wen Zheng has restored his good reputation, but Boss Zhou has become the well-known "Zhou Ba Pi".

No one works for Boss Zhou anymore. The land has been rented and can't be left empty. He had to bite the bullet and rent agricultural machinery. After such a toss, when Boss Zhou's land was turned over and sown, the alfalfa in Wen Zheng's field could submerge his feet.

This piece of land has been planted for three months, and the pollution level has been greatly reduced. The newly grown alfalfa is visibly green. Wen Zheng harvested a part of it and went back for a simple test. He suspected that the alfalfa grown this time had reached the edible standard.

He simply took it to the official testing agency for a check, and it was indeed the case. A team was specially dispatched to the field to conduct random and multi-faceted sampling and take it back for testing.

The sampling included not only alfalfa, but also soil and nearby groundwater. The final test results were enough to make people happy.

Although there are still many residual harmful substances in the soil, and more in the groundwater, these harmful substances have not been completely absorbed by the plants. The tested alfalfa does meet the minimum edible standard.

He excitedly handed the inspection report to Wen Zheng, and finally reminded Wen Zheng: "It's okay to eat less of these alfalfa, but it's better not to feed them to people first."

"I have too many animals at home, and I'm worried about having nothing to feed them." Wen Zheng's words made people feel at ease.

After getting the test results, Wen Zheng directly asked someone to harvest all the alfalfa growing in the land, leaving the roots in the soil. Alfalfa has strong vitality and can continue to grow even after being harvested.

Mowing grass is different from digging the ground. The former sounds like an easy job, especially since alfalfa is tender and can be cut with fingers. If you use any knife, you can cut a large handful at a time. It is not only labor-free but also fast.

As soon as the news of Wen Zheng's recruitment was released, many people responded to the application.

First, Wen Zheng's remuneration is good. The vegetables are grown in his supermarket, and you can go in and choose them yourself. Second, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Besides, Wen Zheng and the government did not hide anything. Almost everyone knew that this batch of alfalfa reached the edible standard, so they came to participate in the excitement.

In the past, a house was built next to the land for people to guard. Wen Zheng saw the current situation and arranged another house on the other side of the field. The two huskies were separated to follow the employees to guard. In two days, several waves of people were caught, all of whom came to watch the excitement.

The more people there are, the easier it is to cause trouble. Wen Zheng recruited good people as quickly as possible, and when people gathered nearby, he held a loud speaker and said to the people who came to watch.

"Although this batch of alfalfa has reached the edible standard, it is just barely passed, so I plan to use them as feed for breeding. Please don't taste them easily to avoid problems. If the next batch of alfalfa grows better, it won't be too late for you to taste it. At that time, I will send some, and the rest will be sold at a low price."

These words made those who planned to taste and take away secretly during the harvest feel a little embarrassed, and the crowd of onlookers withdrew their hands and really watched.

There were many people coming to work, and all the alfalfa was harvested on the car in three days and stored in the warehouse by Wen Zheng. The next few days were the time for the new alfalfa to grow. Tuantuan sent birds again, and simply built an ice house outside to become a member of the guard.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Wen Zheng took Tuantuan to the province. On the way back, he built igloos at several locations. After the snow stopped, they remained in place for a long time at low temperatures. They were noticed and became a place for people to rest. Just like the legend of the snow wolf, they became popular for a while, and more people built igloos.

Tuantuan, who had grown a lot taller in three years, caught up with Wen Zheng's reputation with his powerful martial arts in just a few days of guarding. People who didn't like the father and son of the Wen family could only grit their teeth secretly.

After the newly grown alfalfa after harvesting was longer than the palm, Wen Zheng asked the official inspectors to come and test it again. This time, the value of harmful substances was much lower than the standard. It would not be harmful to the human body if it was not eaten every day.

After telling Wen Zheng the results, the inspectors thought of Wen Zheng's previous statement that he would sell it at a low price, and wanted to buy some at a low price first.

After listening to them, Wen Zheng smiled and said, "I was planning to send most of the harvest this time. I will have someone send some over later."

Several baskets of alfalfa were delivered to the government, and well-informed people had already rushed over. When they saw Wen Zheng, they shouted, "Boss Wen, is it true that you will give away alfalfa for free after this harvest?"

"Of course it's true." Wen Zheng replied. Just as the group of people were about to go to the field to cut, he quickly added, "But there are a few points I need to say first."

"I didn't say before that there were any rules for free collection. Don't make it up on purpose so that we don't want to receive it."

"Just listen to my points first. Today, this field Half of the alfalfa in the field will be given away for free. Not only this time, but also half of each batch of alfalfa planted in the future will be given away for free. However, there will definitely be more people and less alfalfa, so those who receive it need to leave their ID code. After receiving it once, they cannot receive it next time. The second round can only start when there are not many new people to receive it. "

It really took me a while to react after hearing this. Before I figured it out, I heard Wen Zheng continue to say: "This alfalfa will definitely have less harmful substances as it grows later, so I hope that the recent free collection opportunities will be given to those who are in urgent need of food now, and those who are living a good life can come to receive it later."

Once the plan was said, it really made others speechless. No matter what the people who heard the collection rules clearly thought in their hearts, Wen Zheng gave away half of the harvested alfalfa.

All the alfalfa that was given away was given away, and the remaining half was sold at a low price. It was really a low price. At least those who gave up the free collection opportunity this time couldn't help but buy some to take back after hearing the price.

Before the disaster, there were still people who specialized in eating alfalfa, which was considered a kind of wild vegetable.

This time, we harvested the newly grown sprouts. They didn’t taste as good as vegetables that had been cultivated for many years, but they also had their own flavor.

If you don’t have the conditions, cook them in water. The sprouts have a light sweetness and taste better than expected. If you have the conditions, there are many ways to cook them. After boiling, mix them cold, add some oil and seasonings to stir-fry, or wash them and cook them in soup. They are delicious anyway.

Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan ate several meals of alfalfa and left some for their employees. The chickens and sheep raised in the supermarket have had enough food recently. The first batch of alfalfa that was not dared to be fed to people has become their feed. The lambs have grown very strong and the chickens have started to lay eggs.

After the alfalfa was harvested, the boss Zhou and the other boss Yang were very jealous, but the land they rented had not been purified for the previous three months, and the harvested alfalfa was still far from meeting the edible standard. Even if they wanted to pretend, it wouldn’t work. It looked different on the outside. Wen Zheng still cut and sold it in the fields, reminding everyone not to buy it if they saw it elsewhere.

The alfalfa in Wen Zheng's field was harvested again, but it had not grown long enough for the next harvest.

The temperature dropped sharply again, and snow began to fall. The temperature dropped again, which exceeded the cold resistance of the new variety of alfalfa. After this snow, it was unknown how much of the alfalfa would survive.
