Chapter 560 The most terrifying moment has yet to come

Ju Tianrui's shot.

This shocked other refugees and made Gan Shang even more afraid of him!

Orange Island Head.

One by one, the refugees carried their luggage and left.

When they came, they were full of expectations and looking forward to the life after entering.

When leaving, they were determined. They would rather face dangerous zombies than face these humans again.

In the apocalypse, sometimes people are scarier than zombies.

At least, the horror of zombies is written on their faces.

As for the person, one second he was smiling, and the next second, he had no idea what he was going to do.

The southern district refugee camp is poorly managed.

Every night people died, some of them starved to death, some of them killed by others.

Ju Tianrui looked at the door. Basically, most of the refugees who wanted to go out had already gone out.

And those who plan to stay here have different expressions.

Some people are a little entangled, hesitating but not taking action.

And some people are sarcastic, mocking these people, they can't get any benefits if they go out, they are dangerous and unstable.

The buzz never stopped.

"Just watch, those of them who leave will regret it sooner or later. Then they won't be able to come in."

"Okay, let's go. Make some room for us."

"I don't know where they can go after they leave."

"Where else can we go? Let's find a safer place first. Didn't Ju Tianrui just say that he won't take those people with him?"

ten minutes later.

Ju Tianrui saw that no one was going out anymore.

Glancing at Ganshang and the others from a distance, he turned back to Dongtai and said, "It's time for us to leave. Let the brothers get in the car, let's go."

After hearing this, Dongtai said hello and asked the brothers to get in the car.

Ju Tianrui also got in the car.

far away.

Gan Shang saw their actions and said to Hai Chao next to him: "Is everything arranged?"

Hai Chao lowered his head and said to Gan Shang: "Everything has been arranged. As soon as they leave, our people will follow."

"Okay, let them follow. Don't get lost. I want to see where they go." Gan Shang said.

He was still unwilling to give in. There had been no news from Gan Gaojie for many days, and there was a great possibility that he would not be able to come back.

But if you are alive, you want to see people, and if you are dead, you want to see corpses.

It was absolutely impossible for him, Gan Shang, to accept it in such a confused and unclear manner.

Following Ju Tianrui and the others, they will most likely go to find Xiao Jun and others, and then they will be able to follow the clues and find Xiao Jun.

As if he thought of something, Gan Shang said again: "Did the more than 200 women we got last time be sent to the west?"

Hai Chao said: "Calculating the time, it should be here now, and I think we can return tomorrow."

"Well, our power is limited, so we can only ask them for help. I don't believe it. My father loves Xiaojie so much, and he won't just sit idly by."

After Ju Tianrui and others exited the gate at Chengzizhoutou, they entered the tunnel.

Dongtai looked behind him and said to Ju Tianrui: "Batalion Commander, someone is following you. Should we still go in the direction of Zhejiang Sea?"

Ju Tianrui looked through the rearview mirror and saw a car.

Such a poor tracking technique.

Said: "We can't go directly to Xiao Jun and the others. We must get rid of these tails, otherwise it will be troublesome to take them there. Drive slowly, and take a good look at them."

The person driving the vehicle also slowed down the speed of the vehicle.

Drive forward slowly.

Day by day passed.

Continues to heat up.

Noon sun.

If it is winter, or it is a gloomy day, it will rain for several days and there will be no sunshine.

I will miss the sun.

However, many people are looking forward to a cloudy day, even if it rains.

Even if it rains, zombies will riot and face a greater zombie crisis, but it is better than the high temperature of more than 50 degrees.

Outside the big camphor tree base.

The river not far away also stopped flowing, and the river bed was revealed.

Although the south has always been warmer, the weather with more than 50 degrees is really unbearable.

Some people suffer from heat stroke and cannot find medicine to relieve the heat, while others suffer from heat stroke.

The camphor tree base is equipped with some honeysuckle and chrysanthemum for making tea, as well as cooling oil.

Cooling oil has a very long shelf life and is also cheap. Li Yu had hoarded a lot of it before.

But after last year's hot weather, Shi Dishui and Huo Huoxiang Zhengqi Water were consumed a lot.

But pharmacist Dong Dong Dong, Bai Jie and others jointly researched and came up with some substitutes.

In addition, the veteran Chinese medicine practitioner Huagan prepared some traditional Chinese medicine to reduce heat.

No one on the base died from the heat.

Anya, who managed the planting at the base, had not yet recovered from a heatstroke. She just woke up from a coma and found Li Yu.

A face that was originally slightly dark was now a little pale.

The recent high temperature made her look sad.

Continuous high temperature weather leads to high temperature heat damage in agricultural production.

The early rice in the late grain-filling stage is subjected to "high temperature and forced ripening", resulting in unfull grains and reduced grain weight;

At the same time, the young fruits of navel oranges, tangerines and other fruits in the base have fallen off seriously, and the agricultural output outside our base has been greatly affected.

In the air-conditioned duty room, Li Yu saw Anya walking in while holding on to the wall.

He quickly stood up and said to her: "Didn't they say you had heat stroke? Go back and rest quickly, why did you come out!"

"Hey, come in first." Li Yu stepped forward, helped open the door, and then helped her in.

"It's such a big sun, if you don't take good protection, how can this work! What can you do for me? If you need anything, you can contact me through the walkie-talkie. Heat stroke is no joke now. Maybe I will lose my life."

Then he helped her to the chair.

Hearing Li Yu's angry scolding, Anya was not angry, but felt concerned.

Mr. Li is really kind to the people in the base and has nothing to say.

The air-conditioning blowing in the duty room was completely different from the stuffy heat outside. The cool feeling made her feel a lot more energetic.

Slowing down, she said: "Li, Mr. Li, it's too hot now. The crops will be greatly affected. Now the crops have been ripened and can be harvested now.

In addition, other navel oranges and other fruit trees in the mountains and forests were affected to some extent, and many immature young fruits fell. "

Song Min poured her a glass of ice water from the water dispenser.

Anya drank it in one gulp.

Just a few hundred meters away and a few minutes' journey had left her completely exposed to the sun.

Li Yu pondered in his heart as he listened to what Anya said.

He knew the dangers of high temperature, but he didn't expect it to be so harmful to crops.

So he said, "How much impact will it have?"

Anya's eyes were a little dim and she said: "The yield will be reduced by about 30%. The outdoor planting area is about 70 acres, and it is expected that less than 30 tons of rice can be obtained.

However, the underground planting base in the base, with a planting area of ​​about 18 acres, can harvest about 10 tons, and a total of 40 tons of rice can be harvested.

In addition, sweet potatoes and corn are slightly better, resistant to drought and high temperature, and the yield is about 15 tons.

The total amount of food that can be harvested this time is 55 tons! "

55 tons?

Calculated based on the current population, including the inner and outer cities, there are 120 people in the inner city and 134 people in the outer city, which adds up to only 254 people.

If Xiao Jun and others were included, there would be nearly 300 people.

An average adult consumes at least 240 kilograms of grain a year.

At least 36 tons of grain are consumed a year.

This does not include food for non-staff personnel, as well as those working with the base.

If you add a few catties of food for non-staff personnel every month, and other cooperating personnel in Xincheng, who exchange materials for food, there is another 10 tons here.

If we make a rough calculation, we currently consume at least 46 tons of grain per year.

55 tons.

Okay, barely enough.

This is the continuous expansion of the base for more than a year. The scope of the outer city alone has expanded by more than 100 mu. The second outer city just built a while ago also occupies more than 60 mu.

If we just rely on the initial planting area, it will no longer be enough.

55 tons, one season’s production.

Including all harvests inside and outside the base, including outdoor and indoor areas.

Originally, in the south, if the weather was stable, it would be very simple to have three crops a year.

In one year's harvest, production can easily exceed 200 tons. Even more.

However, the weather is too unstable now.

That's why Li Yu made up his mind to integrate the residential building and production into one.

The residential buildings in the inner city have 10 acres of underground planting area.

There are 8 acres of underground plantations in the first outer city.

At present, the Second Outer City has been built and is currently being renovated. The underground plantation in the basement of the residential building covers an area of ​​10 acres.

The bunker has 2 acres.

And over there in the cave, 6 acres have been developed.

After the cave is completed, there will be an underground plantation in the second outer city. The total underground planting area in the base can reach 36 acres.

These underground plantations will not be affected by the outside weather. They only need to ensure sufficient water and light to continue producing.

But after all, it is grown indoors, so the yield is not high, but the advantage is that it can be grown without interruption.

Together with cows, sheep, pigs, and human feces as fertilizer, Bai Jie and Anya cooperated to synthesize some agricultural fertilizers such as carbon, phosphorus, and potassium.

It can be regarded as a full ecology.

But there is also a huge invisible drawback, water.

Although the Shantang Reservoir is very deep, it is built between two mountains. The depth reaches 20 meters and the water storage capacity can reach 100,000 cubic meters of water.

Enough to irrigate 800 acres of land.

If the base develops to a particularly large size in the future, water source will be a big problem.

However, that should be a long, long time later. As far as the water in the current base is concerned, it is still enough for the time being.

In addition to the reservoir in Shantangzhong, they dug three deep wells in the inner city of the base.

There is a deep well in the first outer city and the second outer city respectively.

Such deep wells are also rich in groundwater.

Planting in the last days requires too many conditions.

First of all, the first point is that a fence is needed. Without the protection of the fence, it will be useless to plant it. It is impossible to harvest and plant outside at the risk of zombies.

The second is the water source, and it is a stable water source, and it is relatively difficult to achieve this condition. Such conditions can only be found next to some reservoirs or rivers.

The third point is seeds and planting technology.

And if these conditions are met, it is only a foundation for planting.

The weather in the apocalypse is unpredictable.

Is it ultra-high temperature, drought, or freezing weather, it is enough to kill the crops that have been cultivated for a long time?

Therefore, outdoor planting alone is definitely not enough and unstable.

Indoor cultivation requires more complicated things.

Planted talent! The amount of electricity required for lighting! It still needs a long time of cultivation!

etc.

To achieve these, for people in the apocalypse, it is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Just the wave of zombies that breaks out from time to time is enough to destroy many bases.

Planting does not happen overnight, it can take several months.

So how do you spend these few months of idle time?

If there is no food savings and there is any disturbance, the base will riot.

Because there is no food, and if there is no food, people will make trouble.

It will be difficult to manage if there is trouble. Once the zombie wave comes, sooner or later it will collapse.

Therefore, in this apocalyptic world, at this stage, a base with a large number of people will collapse sooner or later!

Either be ruthless and reduce the number of people through manpower, or use the power of zombies to reduce the number of people.

The Da Zhangshu base has unique advantages.

The wall was built long ago.

The water source is a Shantang Reservoir with a depth of 20 meters.

To reserve grain, before the end of the world, Li Yu purchased hundreds of tons of rice, as well as various vegetable seeds, crop seeds, dozens of tons of salt, etc.

More than a year ago, he used the more than 20 million to mobilize several times or even ten times the funds through loans, installments, and mortgages.

It laid a solid foundation for the Da Zhangshu base.

And more than a year later.

Paper money becomes incendiary and has no value.

Li Yu was lost in thought for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he saw Anya still sitting on the chair waiting for his answer.

"Harvesting will start tonight. Taking advantage of the temperature drop at night, we have harvested all crops except outdoors, whether it is rice, sweet potatoes, or fruit trees." Li Yu said firmly.

It's already August.

There are only two weeks until the volcano erupts.

The temperature will continue to rise. If it is delayed until two or three days before the volcanic eruption, the temperature at that time will be higher and more terrifying than now.

Harvesting will then be more troublesome.

It's better to harvest now, not to mention that now that the crops are ripening due to the high temperature, there is no point in waiting any longer.

Harvest it early and dry it for storage.

Anya was a little shocked, and asked: "All, all? Are those fruit trees going to be picked? The fruit trees are still young, and now is the time to accumulate sugar. Do you want to wait?"

Li Yu nodded heavily and said: "Collect it, harvest it all. Since it's time to harvest, let's harvest it all tonight."

As mid-August approaches, he feels increasingly pressed for time.

After most of the world's volcanoes erupted, the entire world was filled with volcanic ash and plunged into darkness.

Then comes acid rain and the temperature drops.

Once acid rain falls, all these crops will die.

Fruit trees can also become rotten.

Darkness, acid rain, cold.

triple.

In more than a year, the most dangerous apocalyptic environment is coming!

The high temperatures in between, or the locust plague, or the extreme freezing weather of minus 60 degrees, are all appetizers.

The end of the world may have just begun.
