Chapter 243 Going to the Planting Area
"Wenwen, what else do you want to eat? Uncle will buy it for you!"
Wang Jin pinched Wenwen's little face and held her to stroll in the snack street on the side of the road.
"I want to eat this, this, and this!"
Wenwen ordered many snacks in one breath, and handed the roasted gluten in her hand to Wang Jin's mouth, jumping and saying, "Uncle, you eat it too, this is delicious."
"Wenwen is so good!" Wang Jin swallowed the whole gluten in one bite, and Wenwen screamed and wanted to learn from Wang Jin, but unfortunately her mouth was too small, so her face was covered with oil, turning into a little cat, and she held Wang Jin's arm to ask Wang Jin to teach her.
"Lord City Lord, Minister Du Yuyan asked you to go to the planting area, saying that the crops are harvested and can be harvested."
Just as Wang Jin and Wenwen were playing, a messenger ran over quickly and bowed respectfully to report the situation to Wang Jin.
"Oh!" Wang Jin's face showed a hint of joy. After more than three months of planting, the sweet potatoes in the planting area were finally harvested.
Wang Jin dared not neglect the issue of food storage in the Lishan Base, because there was little food left in the base, and he had to rely on this batch of rations.
"Wenwen, let's go, uncle will take you to the planting area! Your mother will go there soon!"
"Yes! Let's go to the planting area!" Wenwen held her little finger, quickly took a few prepared snacks, followed Wang Jin to the Hummer, and was driven by the soldiers to the planting area outside the city.
After Wang Jin left, the streets returned to normal and became lively. Many people talked about the planting area, and some people had greedy eyes.
For the important food production area of the Lishan Base, everyone in the Lishan Base knew it. People passed by the vast planting area every day. The sweet potatoes planted, the fresh fish and livestock raised there have always been the objects of the survivors' covetousness.
Unfortunately, Wang Jin strictly guarded the planting area, and those who dared to steal often ended up miserably, and no one could break into the planting area.
Over time, the planting area became a forbidden area. People only dared to look at it from a distance and dared not approach it, otherwise they would be caught by patrol soldiers as thieves.
Now that the harvest date of the planting area has arrived, many hungry survivors are beginning to move again, planning to take risks to get a piece of the pie.
The Hummer that Wang Jin rode passed through the city gate and drove towards the planting area under the escort of several armored vehicles.
On the way, Wang Jin saw a hundred hosts parked on both sides of the road, and thousands of underground base survivors began to return, preparing to ride the hosts back to the underground base, waiting to come again tomorrow to provide Wang Jin with mental power points.
Among the more than a hundred hosts, several hosts did not ride the survivors, but were surrounded by a large number of soldiers and base staff, and constantly moved some items out of the hosts, mostly some mushrooms and other foods, which were food transactions between the underground base and Wang Jin.
In the past two months, Wang Jin's mountain base and underground transactions have become more frequent.
Wang Jin needs the food and population of the underground base, and the underground base also needs the materials and arms of the Lishan base. The two sides are mutually beneficial, making the relationship between the two bases closer.
In the transaction exchanges between the two bases, because of the strength relationship, the Lishan base occupies a dominant position and can get some advantages in the transaction price.
For the survivors of the underground base, the commercial exchanges between the two bases are also of great benefit to them. Their specialties can be sold in the Lishan base in exchange for food and materials for themselves.
As the survivors become more and more dependent on the Lishan base, and the recognition is even higher than that of the underground base, Wang Jin has an idea in his heart. Only when there is a chance.
Thinking of this, Wang Jin showed an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, but suddenly saw a familiar tall figure appear in the crowd of people trading in front. Wang Jin looked closely and saw that it was Jiang Shishi, the unruly lady again.
In the past few months, Jiang Shishi has been to the Lishan base many times. On the surface, she said she came to supervise, but in fact, she came here to shop, eat and enjoy.
Although Wang Jin has not met her a few times, he still knows her behavior clearly.
Jiang Shishi seemed to have seen Wang Jin, but she didn't come over. She and Wang Jin had a strained relationship, so she naturally wouldn't come over to cause trouble, and Wang Jin was also happy and relaxed.
The Hummer continued to drive, and from time to time, you could see survivors looking for food in the wild, patrolling soldiers, alert hydralisks and velociraptors, and hosts flying in the sky, making the area of dozens of miles a safe area. Survivors hunting here would basically not be in danger, and the powerful mutants and zombies had been cleared out.
In this dozens of kilometers of safe area, the survivors can catch rabbits and pheasants here, but because the weeds grow half a person's height, hunting is very difficult.
Most of the survivors catch some small insects and collect wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. If they can really catch pheasants and rabbits, they will sell them to the hotel in exchange for food. They are reluctant to eat these precious meats, which is too extravagant for them.
Ten minutes later, Wang Jin's Hummer came to the outskirts of the planting area and saw a large area of emerald green sweet potato leaves inside.
Not far from Wang Jin's Hummer, there were a dozen survivors staying here, secretly looking towards the planting area with shifty looks on their faces.
Seeing Wang Jin's convoy coming, especially several mighty armored vehicles, the faces of these survivors changed, and they fled in all directions. They no longer dared to look at the planting area, let alone stay here, fearing that they would be captured by soldiers and sent to the prisoner camp for labor.
This situation is not uncommon. Their predecessors also had their eyes on the planting area. The survivors who coveted the food in it had experienced it personally, and are still serving their sentences hard.
"Lord City Lord, do you want to?"
The soldier chief guarding Wang Jin saluted, pointed at the dozen survivors who escaped, and signaled to Wang Jin whether they needed to be captured.
"Forget it, let's go to the planting area first. These scoundrels don't need to be paid attention to. The soldiers and insects guarding the planting area will deal with it."
Wang Jin waved his hand, and the Hummer continued to move forward. After inspection, it drove into the planting area and came to this piece of fruitful land.
Inside the planting area, Wang Jin got off the Hummer and saw the busy scene of the harvest in the planting area.
Deep purple sweet potato leaves are everywhere, and there are ditches scattered in them. There are also thousands of working farmers, wielding hoes non-stop, digging out huge sweet potatoes with sweat on their foreheads.
These sweet potatoes are all red-skinned, basically the size of an adult's palm, and each one is plump and full.
On the cultivated land, farmers can dig out a large bunch of interconnected sweet potatoes with a hoe, and soon they can fill a basket and load it onto a truck and transport it to the warehouse.
Sweet potato leaves are also cut and collected by farmers because they can be eaten. They are used as food for people or as feed for fish and livestock. They are all excellent.
The entire planting area is busy everywhere, and the farmers are also smiling with joy. These sweet potatoes are the fruits of their labor, and they have reasons to be proud and happy.
