#678 - Chapter 678 Amazing Mature Super Rice

The next day.

It was still a sunny day.

It was now October, and the temperature was slowly dropping. This morning, the temperature was a slightly cool 23 degrees Celsius.

It was as if the heatwave and drought of a month ago were an illusion.

If it weren't for the desolation outside, with only a few new greens sprouting and growing, the survivors would have doubted their memories.

The high temperatures disappeared so quickly.

At the Yangcheng branch.

After breakfast and equipment checks, Zhong Yu once again dispatched his team to deal with the participants they were hunting down.

Recently, these Green Source combat captains had been very busy.

Battalion Commander Li Bowen was said to be handling a special task assigned by President Qin.

Zhang Tiankai was in Zhushi, cleaning up the remnants of New Hope and consolidating the defenses of the oil base.

Liu Wenhao had gone to Shanshi to re-establish the coal base.

Chen Junchi was chasing down fleeing members of various participating forces in the cities surrounding Green Source.

Every captain was swamped with work.

The base headquarters, or rather, the Green Source area, had President Qin personally overseeing things, along with a large number of security personnel, so they were not lacking combat troops.

"Let's go! The sooner we kill those people, the sooner we can go back!"

With those murderous words, Captain Zhong led his team out, filled with killing intent.

Green Source headquarters, branch base.

Today.

Many people in the ground planting area were working diligently.

"Brother Xia! Have you ever seen this kind of rice? The ears of rice are so full and plentiful!"

One of the younger women said with a slight hint of surprise to another young man of similar age.

They were the group of students that Zhong Yu had met and brought back from Yangcheng when he was looking for temperature control equipment during the drought.

The young man called Brother Xia was naturally Zhong Yu's cousin.

As someone with such a powerful backer, these agricultural college students who had been recruited naturally regarded him as the leader of the group.

Needless to say.

Everyone was very convinced of this.

At this time, the female student was looking at the rice plants laden with ears at the branch base, filled with emotion.

They had been in the branch base for several months, and thanks to their good knowledge of agricultural planting, they had recently been officially granted Level 3 personnel status.

Everyone knew that this was probably due to Xia Zizhou's influence.

"I'm not too sure either. I just heard the members of the planting department say that this is the latest high-yield rice variety that Green Source has cultivated!"

Hearing the female student's question, Xia Zizhou scratched his head and replied.

He had obtained Level 3 personnel status the longest, so he had joined the planting department of Green Source earlier and was engaged in some simple work.

But it was only in the last few days that he had learned about these amazingly high-yield rice plants from the planting department staff, and that he was allowed to visit today.

In fact, this was because this batch of super rice had already entered the maturity stage and was about to be harvested, so these agricultural personnel were allowed to do more research and record data, so that more and better varieties could be cultivated in the future.

In addition, Green Source had recently defeated New Hope and was almost overwhelmingly powerful throughout the Guangnan Province, so the confidentiality of important resources such as super rice could be slightly reduced.

After all, it was about to be harvested, and when this relatively unpalatable rice was distributed, it would be traded to the survivors outside, and used for the food distributed to those working within the Green Source area.

The delicious fragrant rice was to be reserved for better treatment.

"That's great! This rice yield is completely several levels higher than most of the rice we've seen before! This time, the base will definitely reap a great harvest!"

This female student looked at the lush rice paddies in front of her with envy and longing, imagining that she could eat better and more in the future.

Even though they had obtained Level 3 personnel status, they were still a long way from being full.

It was said that to be basically full, one had to have at least Level 4 personnel status.

They had just been promoted to Level 3 personnel, and there was still a long way to go before they could upgrade again.

"Yes! The base is getting better and better, and we can all benefit from it. We have to work hard in the future and try to find out all the loopholes in the base's planting, so that we can take our planting department to the next level!"

Xia Zizhou said to his small group of students with a good mood.

They were only here today to visit the ground planting area of the branch base. He heard that there were several different planting areas underground, and perhaps only the base's higher-ups knew exactly how many planting sites there were in the entire headquarters.

The planting department and those who came to work were not very clear about the areas outside their responsibility.

"Hello, are you new here? My name is Li Xiulan, and I'm responsible for the plant maintenance in this planting area. Let me take you around here and introduce the general situation."

Just as Xia Zizhou and the others were talking, a woman walked over, it was Li Xiulan, Lin Jiafu's mother.

After the previous Tian Hong Group incident, Zhao Ling had arranged for this woman to help out in this planting area of the branch base.

Several months had passed, and she had also obtained Level 3 personnel status, and due to her excellent performance, she had also taken charge of the daily maintenance work here.

She had completely settled down here at the Green Source headquarters.

Today, she saw this group of students coming over and knew that they were the people who had been approved by the higher-ups to conduct rice research in this planting area.

Without wasting much time, Li Xiulan led the group along the ridges of the fields and began to introduce the situation here.

"You should have seen that this piece of land is very different from the rice you used to see outside. These are the important grains that our base has produced. I hope you will keep it confidential in the future."

"Come over here, we have a portion of early-planted mature rice here. You can take a look first and see what's different from before."

As she walked, Li Xiulan told Xia Zizhou and the others about various precautions.

Later, she led them to a separate piece of land and stopped.

This was the experimental field where the original batch of super rice was planted for testing, so it finished growing earlier than those planted in large quantities.

Looking at the full and golden grains of rice here, Xia Zizhou and the others couldn't help but gather around to observe carefully.

"What big grains of rice! And the whole plant is taller and stronger!"

"One plant like this is equivalent to more than two ordinary rice plants!"

Seeing this finally mature super rice, the students exclaimed even more.

It was indeed amazing!

It was the first time they had seen such tall and strong rice plants.

And they calculated in their heads that at this rate, wouldn't the Green Source base have a super harvest this time?

Hiss——

They finally realized that they seemed to have stepped into some amazing place in Green Source.

Just as they were marveling at the super rice, Yuan Mu's voice came from the other side.

"Don't be surprised."

"Your job next is to join us and find more ways to grow a lot of grain together!"
