Rebirth of natural disasters at the end of the world

Chapter 193 The Man in the Botanical Garden (Revision)

The current number of people in the camp is several times greater than that in the early days of Qiuhan Base. With the support of agricultural machinery, it is very easy for everyone to work.

After the soil was plowed, Jun Zi, Yue Xiang quickly drove the fertilizer spreader to apply fertilizer.

Zhao Jingyu and the others were responsible for unpacking the seeds and pouring them one by one into the seed bin of the seeder. After Zhang Yi and the others had fertilized the land, they drove the seeder to sow seeds.

We have planned the land. This season, we will plant 1 acres of corn, wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and soybeans. As for various vegetables, we will plant 100 acres first.

After the soil was plowed, Zhao Jingyu and the two quickly drove the fertilizer spreader up to apply fertilizer.

Zhang Yi and Yue Xiang saw that they were very fast, so they stopped what they were doing, walked to the seeder, unpacked the corn seeds, poured them into the seed bin one by one, and then drove the seeder to sow.

And the most important thing is rice. After everyone discussed it, they set aside 500 acres of land near the river to grow rice.

In order to avoid flooding during the flood season, they drove an excavator and dug a long drainage ditch around the area.

Then, around the ground, a field bank about 50 centimeters high and 40 centimeters wide was formed from the ground, and then the soil was compacted.

The paddy fields still have four drainage outlets: southeast, northwest, and south. Later, everyone specially selected a section of the field, surrounded the field ridges in advance, and put in enough water for seedling cultivation.

Select high-quality seed grains, soak them in water until all small white buds appear, take them out and put them in a bamboo basket, and cover them lightly with leaves or hay.

After 1 to 2 days, the white buds will grow longer, and the seeds will be sown into the seedling field for seedling cultivation.

Then, everyone began to harrow the fields, and at the same time, added an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer, superphosphate, potassium sulfate and other fertilizers to the soil, stirred it well, then sprinkled an appropriate amount of dixon to sterilize it, and finally filled it with water.

At this time, the cultivated seedlings had grown to about 10 centimeters, and everyone began transplanting them.

Chen Nan, Gong Longwu, and Yue Xiang had experience in rice transplanting when they were at the base. This time, three people still drove the rice transplanter, and Wang Yong and 3 people were responsible for cooperating.

The remaining people followed Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han to set up a defense line. When they came here this time, they brought a cart of mutated thorns. The attacks from those foreigners alerted them.

Therefore, everyone feels that it is safest to plant thorns before harvesting. Although these quantities are far from enough to cover the entire site, Qiu Qiu can water some diluted spiritual spring water, so that the thorns can quickly take root in a short time. , covering the entire defense line.

In accordance with Qiu Qiu's request, everyone left a 10-meter-wide open space at the entrance of the camp, and then planted thorns every 5 meters. However, after planting in this way, their inventory was still only enough to arrange one-third of the base's defense line.

They had no choice but to wait for the thorns to sprout and then cut them and plant them.After finishing these things, it was already a month later. Qiu Qiu saw that the raw bricks had dried, so he led everyone to get back to the work of burning bricks.

Before preparing to install the kiln, he first arranged the camp affairs and left some people to provide logistical support.

The rest help carry the bricks to the brick kiln for stacking. The bricks are very particular when stacked. They need to be mixed and matched horizontally and vertically, separated by a certain distance, leaving gaps for ventilation, and filling the gaps with coal.

After the kiln installation is completed, the kiln door and ventilation holes are all closed, and then the fire is started to bake the bricks. In the first two days, the bricks are heated slowly with a slow fire to prevent the bricks from cracking due to excessive temperature rise.

During this period, the fire cannot be extinguished, so everyone takes turns to be on duty to prevent the fire from going out and failing.

On the third day, after the brick kiln temperature reaches a certain height, you can start to increase the fire for calcination. After three or four days of continuous high-temperature calcination, there is no need to add firewood.

On the seventh day of calcining, Qiu Qiu asked everyone to seal all the breathable areas with mud, fill the water tank on the top of the kiln with water, use an iron drill to insert cuttings from the water tank into the kiln, and let the water in the water tank slowly flow into the kiln. within to achieve the cooling effect under anaerobic conditions.

When the temperature in the kiln dropped and the cooling was completed, everyone opened the kiln door and waited for the air to circulate for half an hour before going in and taking out the bricks.

A total of 2789 bricks were fired in the first batch, and more than 3000 bricks were damaged. Everyone felt it was a pity, but they felt lucky to be able to bake so many successful bricks for the first time.

"In a few days, we will be able to bake the second batch! Cao He, Zhang Yi, you will still be responsible for it!"

The two nodded to Qiu Qiu, "I understand, captain!"

Qiu Qiu smiled with satisfaction, looked at the others, and continued, "Now that the crops have been planted, let's build the breeding farm and incubator on time first, and then build the houses after we have enough bricks."

"it is good……"

H Province, JM City Suburban Botanical Garden.

Leng Tian and Chen Yanbing brought a large group of people to the city a month ago. When they saw that everything was in ruins and there was no safe environment for living, they moved here with them.

After entering the park, everyone discovered that although it occupies a vast area, most of the basic buildings have been destroyed. Even if the remaining ones have not collapsed, after the wind, frost, rain and snow in the past ten years, not only have the walls become mottled and cracked, but there are also cracks inside. It was covered with weeds and moss, and mice and insects had made their homes in it.

However, this was not a problem for everyone. We found a five-story building with a courtyard dam in a residential area that was not too seriously damaged. We cleaned it inside and out, repaired it and ventilated it for two days, and then put the roof on it. The first floor was allocated to the dozen experts and was temporarily used as their bedrooms and office areas.

The fourth floor was allocated to the women and children in the team, the third floor was used to store some supplies and weapons, the second floor was a temporary canteen, incubation room, and darkroom, and the first floor was a place for raising poultry and livestock.

When they set off, Qiu Qiu also caught 50 poultry for the team. They were kept in cars on the road, but only a few pigs, cattle and sheep were caught.

In the next few days, Lin Yi and Lin Er were responsible for leading people to clean up the surrounding houses and repair them so that others could move in later.

Lin San led 50 people to patrol the park to check for potential dangers.

As for Lin Si and Lin Wu, they also lead 50 people each and are responsible for searching for available resources.

Lin Liu and the other 50 people followed two experts and were responsible for checking the water and electricity resources of the botanical garden. If they could be utilized, their construction progress would be much faster.

"Then what do I do?"

Leng Tian looked at Lin Qi who was asking the question, smiled and said, "You! You follow me and Yan Bing to farm!"

Lin Qi raised her eyebrows, "That's okay! Let's go then!"

As he spoke, he was about to start the agricultural machine. Chen Yanbing quickly stopped him, "What are you in a hurry for? We don't even know what the land in the botanical garden is like! You are going to plant the land, will you get a harvest?" "

Lin Qi scratched her head in embarrassment, "I, I forgot about it when I got excited!"

"Pfft! Xiaoqi, you are so!"

Wen Wen shook her head and laughed, "Today we will go planting first to see the situation and make a plan before planting. We are not in a rush for this day."

Lin Qi nodded, "I understand, sister!"

"Let's go then!"

Leng Tian raised his finger and pointed to the road ahead, and everyone left the camp with him. Originally, Chen Yanbing wanted to drive everyone there. After all, the planting area was quite far from where they lived, and it took about 20 minutes to drive.

But they were stopped by Leng Tian. The resources after the apocalypse were getting less and less. They were not at Qiuhan base now, and there was no extra gasoline supply, so they should save as much as possible.

Everyone agreed with his approach and walked to the planting area together.

Everyone walked on the overgrown road under the scorching sun, listening to the endless shrill cries of cicadas. Not only did they not feel annoyed, but they felt happy in their hearts.

Lin Qi sighed, "Now that we have cicadas, there will be more and more other animals and insects in the future, everyone agrees, right!?"

"Yes! It will...fuck! What the hell!"

The turtle dove was frightened by the four-legged creature that suddenly emerged from the grass and ducked aside. The others were also frightened.

Leng Tian quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, then pushed him to the ground. Only then did everyone realize that this thing was actually a person.

However, he was a severely deformed man. He looked at everyone with fear in his eyes, shook his head wildly, and opened his mouth wide. After a long time, he shouted hoarsely, "Please, please don't hurt me, please don't." hurt me……"

Everyone looked at each other and then looked at him in confusion, "How long have you been here? Do you have any companions?"

Leng Tian knelt down to help him up, only to find that the man could not stand upright. His spine was severely deformed and he could only look like a hunchback. Leng Tian felt a blockage in his heart. He squatted down again and raised his head. Look at this person.

"We won't hurt you. Can you tell me what happened to you? Do you have any companions?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to Chen Yanbing. The other party understood and immediately took out a rice ball from his bag and handed it over.

Leng Tian smiled at him approvingly, and after catching it, he handed it to the man, "Eat it! You must be very hungry!"

When the man saw the rice ball in front of him, he couldn't help but swallowed hard. His eyes suddenly lit up. He reached out to touch the rice ball, then took his hand back in fear. Then he looked up at Leng Tian and saw that he stretched his hand in front of him again. Stretching out, he grabbed the rice ball, turned around and ran to the corner, and started eating in big mouthfuls. Even if he choked and rolled his eyes, he would not stop.

Leng Tian saw that he had a headache and was afraid that he would choke to death, so he took out the water bottle and poured a capful of water and handed it to him. The man stepped back warily, holding the rice ball in his arms, but refused to reach out to pick it up. Leng Tian was helpless. , had to put the water on the ground, and then retreated.

The man quickly picked up the water, took a small sip, and immediately looked down at the clear water in the lid in disbelief, then held it to his mouth, raised his head and drank it all, then reluctantly put down the lid of the cup. , and ate rice balls again.

Two minutes later, the man finished the food and was still licking his fingers for fear of missing every grain of rice stuck to his hands.

In the past, everyone would have been disgusted when they saw what he was doing. After all, the man's hands were so dirty that they couldn't see their original color. The long nails were full of dirt, which made him feel sick to his stomach just looking at them. .

But under the current situation, not only did everyone not feel disgusted, but they felt sad. The eyes looking at this person were also full of sympathy.

The man burped loudly, looked at everyone gratefully, bowed to them and thanked them, and then took the initiative to talk about his life experience.

His name is Fan Fan, he is 36 years old and is a staff member of this botanical garden.

At the beginning of the end of the world, when a flood occurred, he was trapped here and never got out again.

Because the drainage system here is good, it is in the suburbs, and the special geographical location of Province H, the place was only flooded to a depth of about 20 meters, which is the fourth floor of the building in the main district.

He, his colleagues, and other survivors moved to the fifth floor of the building, huddled together and lived a hard life.

Later, after the water receded, they cleaned up the building and lived here. After all, the botanical garden is rich in products and has many available resources. It is better to stay here than to go outside.

In the beginning, although their lives were difficult, they had enough to eat and drink, and with the food they planted, they were not very hungry. However, as the disasters escalated one after another, and the effects of acid rain, red snow, and black rain .

After the survivors in the park ate mutated animals and plants and polluted water sources, they either died or, like Fan Fan, their bodies became deformed.In the end, only about a hundred people were left.

Fortunately, the situation stabilized in the past two years, and everyone started from scratch again and faced life positively.

However, they never expected that a year ago, that group of robbers would break their peaceful life.
