Chapter 5: Famine Spreads
By the afternoon, the content of the news had completely changed.
"According to the notice from the relevant departments: Please stay indoors as much as possible. If it is not necessary, please do not go out. It is strictly forbidden to eat outdoor crops and freshly slaughtered livestock and poultry!"
"The known death toll in China: 130 million!
The known death toll in the world: 780 million!"
Looking at the death figures reported in the news, it is so shocking!
The temperature began to drop lower and lower, and Chen Fei lit the stove in the house.
There was a warehouse of dry firewood and coal blocks stored outside the house, which was enough for heating and cooking temporarily.
After the doomsday, the climate began to change.
The temperature difference between day and night began to become extremely large, and it was hot and sweaty during the day.
In the evening, the temperature will drop rapidly to freezing point!
Fortunately, Chen Fei has studied it, and the seeds provided by the system can grow normally even in this environment.
After dinner, Chen Fei did not let Nuonuo go out to play.
Now the situation is still getting worse, and he doesn't want Nuonuo to have any accidents.
Moreover, the temperature outside dropped suddenly. If he caught a cold and had a fever, he would not be able to go to the hospital under the current conditions.
In his previous life, he was sick, which led to a series of tragedies.
He called an intelligent guard to watch Nuonuo and Baozi in the house to prevent any accidents from happening to them.
Chen Fei took out the crop seeds rewarded in the gift bag. These are the key to his survival in the future.
"System, can these seeds grow in any soil?"
"Yes, host, the seeds provided by the system are suitable for planting in any soil, and they are tenacious and have a yield far exceeding that of ordinary crops. The host can plant them with confidence!"
With the answer of the system, Chen Fei felt much more at ease.
He took out the seeds, which looked no different from ordinary seeds.
However, Chen Fei did not dare to underestimate them. The corn and soybeans planted in the original field had withered.
Chen Fei directly called an intelligent guard.
"Shovel all the crops in these fields and turn the ground flat."
The intelligent guard received the order and started to work directly.
It must be said that the efficiency of mechanization is indeed high, which saves Chen Fei a lot of trouble.
If he were to turn the land by himself, it would take at least a day or two to finish.
Looking at the turned land, Chen Fei nodded with satisfaction.
Chen Fei did not let the smart guard do the work for him, because these seeds were very precious.
If something went wrong and it failed, the loss would be huge.
So Chen Fei personally went to the field and carefully planted these seeds in the field.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully planting crops!
Corn: growing (estimated time to mature: 72 hours)
Wheat: growing (estimated time to mature: 72 hours)
Potatoes: growing (estimated time to mature: 72 hours)
Cucumbers: growing (estimated time to mature: 72 hours)
Tomatoes: growing (estimated time to mature: 72 hours)
...
It is recommended that the host use a growth acceleration package, which can effectively shorten the crop maturity cycle."
Seeing the system prompt, Chen Fei remembered that there was also a growth acceleration package in the gift package.
"Growth acceleration package: After use, the maturity time can be shortened by 10 times!"
It can shorten the time by ten times, which means that it originally takes 72 hours to harvest.
Now it only takes 7.2 hours to mature!
This is simply amazing!
Without saying anything, Chen Fei used an acceleration pack.
Sure enough, the seeds that were just planted in the ground actually sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The tender green leaves stretched out, and in just a few minutes, the ground was already green.
This surprised Chen Fei very much!
Now he only needs to wait for 7.2 hours to harvest directly.
After finishing all this, it was almost midnight.
Back in the house, Nuonuo had fallen asleep, and Baozi Ni was sleeping soundly with his belly up beside Nuonuo.
Chen Fei found a place to store the seeds that had not been planted just now.
Just now he didn't dare to plant all the seeds, for fear that something unexpected would happen and this crop of seeds would be wasted.
In order to be on the safe side, Chen Fei planted half and kept half.
After confirming that there was no problem with the first batch, he would plant all the remaining seeds.
It's a pity that there are no livestock and poultry seedlings in the novice gift package. These things have to be purchased in the mall.
Chen Fei plans to exchange a batch of points after the first batch of crops are harvested.
Then use these points to exchange for some seeds and livestock and poultry seedlings.
Chen Fei roughly calculated that exchanging crops for points is far less cost-effective than exchanging livestock and poultry.
In order to develop faster, we must find a way to improve efficiency.
Looking at Nuonuo sleeping, Chen Fei felt a lot more at ease.
Adding some more coal to the stove, Chen Fei sat in front of the window and looked at the green farmland outside.
He had to keep an eye on this first crop of crops all the time, for fear of any accidents.
In a daze, Chen Fei heard a series of mechanical sounds.
"Ding! Your corn is ripe and ready for harvest!"
"Ding! Your wheat is ripe and ready for harvest!"
"Ding! Your potatoes are ripe and ready for harvest!"
"Ding! Your cucumbers are ripe and ready for harvest!"
...
Chen Fei opened his eyes excitedly. Outside the window, the ripe crops in the field were hanging happily on the branches.
Waiting to be picked and harvested!
