Rebirth of natural disasters at the end of the world

After Qiu Qiu and his party returned to the Happy Base, they informed everyone about the general situation of the children, and everyone's high-spirited hearts finally calmed down.

Han Jie then told the other party that during their absence, everyone received several groups of passing survivors, but the number was not large, more than 30 in total.

Qiu Qiu was very happy in his heart. No matter how many there were, it had always increased the population. In today's world, one more person would have more power. As long as the other party was not a heinous, sinister and cunning person, they could take him in.

Han Jie and Xiao Gao agreed with his idea and then reported to him, "This year at our happiness base, there were 13 babies born in the first half of the year, and there were 7 new pregnant women. Compared with last year, the population growth rate has declined. No, That’s also because last year, most of the players went out and did things.”

Qiu Qiu nodded and said helplessly, "There is nothing we can do about it. The population needs to increase, but infrastructure is equally important. Let's do it slowly!"

"Ok!"

Xiao Gao looked at him and asked seriously, "Qiu Qiu, are you going to Hope Base and Guangming Base this year?"

"not going!"

Qiu Qiu waved his hand and turned to look at the base gate, "We made an appointment with Uncle Li, Leng Tian and Liu Ning last year. When the time comes, they will bring people over.

Besides, Qin Chuan and Zhao Jingyu must have told them about the situation here when they went to pick up their children. "

"Hmm! OK!"

Xiao Gao turned around and looked at the people working in the fields, and couldn't help but laugh, "We have a good harvest of flax this year. Brother Wang said that if we plant it for two more seasons, the cloth we can produce should be enough for the entire base, and each person can make two Got dressed."

"Isn't this good!"

Xiao Han took over with a smile, "Our life is getting more and more exciting!"

Everyone agreed, "Yes! I am getting more and more ambitious..."

Not long after, the second crop of crops in the Xingfu Base gradually matured, and all the residents of the base immediately got into the intense farming work.

After they finished harvesting and quickly planted the third crop, it was already September. Leng Tian, ​​Liu Ning, and Li Changqing arrived at the Happy Base one after another at this time. At this time, it was already the end of No. .13 years old.

Some personnel from the three bases gathered here with everyone. They hugged each other warmly and lamented how time flies.

After a lot of excitement, Qiu Qiu, Xiao Han and the backbone of the base took Li Changqing and others around to visit the base, and then took them into the mountains to see the flax fields and salt mine valleys that the team members had discovered in the past.

Everyone walked through the smooth mountain road built by Xingfu Base and lamented their hard work. Qiu Qiu smiled and nodded, "It was indeed hard work. It was mainly built by people like Qin Chuan and Jun Zi.

At first, they went to the mountains to help the residents of Dongxi Village move their things. Later, Wang Qiao took everyone to harvest wild flax.

Qin Chuan thought it would be inconvenient to carry things down the mountain, so he led his team members to build a road by themselves.

After we learned about it, we immediately started building it from the bottom of the mountain up, and then the road was slowly built.

Not to mention, now that we have this road, it is indeed much more convenient for us. The round trip saves at least half the time compared to the original... The village is here! "

Qiu Qiu pointed to Dongxi Village not far away. Everyone looked around and saw that everywhere they looked, there were two to three-story stilted buildings, part of which was built in a huge natural stone cave.

The remaining three-story stilt houses are all built on the opposite side of the creek. The houses are lined up next to the mountain wall.

Li Changqing smiled and looked around, "It's not bad here! If there are no mutations of animals and plants or environmental pollution, it will be absolutely safe to hide here in the apocalypse."

"There are even better ones!"

Qiu Qiu pointed to the pool in front of him that was covered by trees and weeds, "Go over and have a look!"

Seeing his mysterious appearance, everyone became even more curious and immediately walked over. Leng Tian took a closer look and exclaimed, "Oh my God! So many mutated blue grasses!"

Liu Ning also said excitedly, "When we were in the safe zone, we relied on the two captains to find the blue grass and cultivate it carefully so that we could have water to drink and food to eat.

Brother Wang and the others have something ready-made here. It seems that this is indeed a good place! "

"Yes!"

Xiao Han took over, "The villagers did live a stable life because of this, but..."

The smile on his face faded, "When we encountered those messy rain and snow later, many of them died. Now only those in our base are left."

Everyone fell silent because of his words. No one said a word for a long time. Han Jie quickly opened his mouth to liven up the atmosphere, "Aren't we going to see the flax fields and salt mines? Let's go!?"

"That's right!" Xiao Gao also echoed, "Hurry up, otherwise it will be dark soon!"

After the two shouted, the depressive atmosphere in the crowd instantly dissipated, and everyone immediately became energetic again.

"Let's go, let's go see it together!"

Qin Chuan smiled and pointed to the path ahead, "Go down this way!"

"Okay! Let's go!"

Everyone followed the people from the Happy Base and set off along the mountain road. They walked uphill and downhill for two hours, and finally arrived at the farmland, which is now the temporary camp they have established - flax and The preliminary processing workshop of the salt mine.

After Qin Chuan gave everyone a brief introduction, he took people to the flax field. Now, the flax here is nourished by the spiritual spring water and can grow three seasons a year. It can grow well without too much care from the base teammates. .

Li Changqing, Leng Tian, ​​Liu Ning and others looked at this large area of ​​flax and were so envious that they couldn't help but sigh, "This piece of land, harvested in three seasons, can weave cloth for at least seventy or eighty people, one person Let’s make some clothes.”

"almost?"

Qiu Qiu took a step forward and reached out to pluck the green branches in front of him, "However, it is still too little for the base.

We strive to have a surplus of fabrics in the warehouse in three to five years, so that people no longer have to worry about running out of clothes in the future. "

"That's right! Speaking of this, I remembered something!"

Xiao Han took the words, looked at Qiu Qiu excitedly, and blinked quickly, "When we were in the safe zone, did the rewards we received include cotton seeds?"

Qiu Qiu was confused for a moment, then remembered the seeds that were forgotten in the corner of the space materials building, and instantly understood, "Yes! How could I forget this!"

He reached out and slapped himself on the forehead with some annoyance, and said with a smile, "It was always hot in the safe zone, and there was a drought for a long time, so we just planted vegetables and grains, and the cotton seeds were thrown in the corner. , I never cared about it.”

When everyone heard what he said, they asked excitedly, "Captain! Did you lose it? Can you still find it?"

"It didn't germinate due to moisture, did it?"

"How many are there? How much land is enough to plant?"

"team leader……"

"Don't get excited! Don't get excited!"

Qiu Qiu raised his hand to stop everyone from asking questions, and replied, "Don't worry, everyone, I didn't lose it, and the seeds were well preserved.

That bag of seeds weighs about 80 kilograms. We will divide it among several bases and plant it immediately when we get it back. By then, we can make quilts and cotton-padded clothes in winter. "

"that would be great!"

Xiao Jian clenched her fists happily, "In the future, we will have one more thing that can be used to make clothes to keep out the cold. You don't have to worry about your clothes being snagged and torn while working, and you won't have to change them."

"Yes!"

Qiu Qiu smiled and said, "When I get back, I will look through it carefully to see if there is anything else we can plant. I will take it all out. Now that the ecological environment is better, many plants should be able to grow."

Everyone nodded and laughed, "That's great!"

"okay!"

Xiao Han clapped his hands and said, "Let's go to the salt mine quickly and go back to the base tomorrow to do this!"

"Go well!"

The team set off again and arrived at the Salt Mine Valley at midnight. Everyone held torches and marveled at the salt ore shimmering with silver light.

They all knelt down and stretched out their hands to touch left and right. Those who didn't know it thought they were seeing large diamonds instead of salt ore! ?

After everyone stayed for a while, they returned the same way. When the group arrived at the temporary camp, it was already bright. Qiu Qiu asked everyone if they wanted to take a rest. Everyone said no. At this moment, they were all thinking about the cotton seeds in the base. .

After a night, these people were still very excited. How could they sleep?Everyone is so excited now!

Seeing that they were all so impatient, Qiu Qiu didn't say much, and immediately took the people back quickly. It was already around four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the base. He ordered Qin Chuan to take everyone to the Great Hall, and he went with Xiao Han. storehouse.

As soon as they entered the house, they immediately locked the warehouse door, then entered the space, went to the material building, and found four heavy bags of cotton seeds in the corner as expected.

"Fortunately, you have a good memory, otherwise, I would have completely forgotten this thing!"

Qiu Qiu reached out and patted the bag, looking at Xiao Han with a smile, "When you winked at me, I didn't react at first. I was still thinking, when did the safe zone give me cotton to grow? They are poorer than us! ?”

"I only remembered it for a moment, I had forgotten it before!"

Xiao Han put his arms around him and walked to other shelves where seeds were placed. He looked at them and said, "If I hadn't bought this thing back then, I would have no memory of it."

Qiu Qiu smiled and nodded, "The main reason is that there are too many things in the space, but many of them cannot be taken out, so it is not easy to remember!"

He glanced at the box of sunflower seeds on the left, "Brother Han, hold it down for a while. The sunflowers can be used to extract oil, and can also be used to make snacks and other foods. Let's take them out and plant them."

"okay!"

Xiao Han moved the box down and put it on the balancing car. He then raised his head and looked around, saying, "Grow some purple cabbage, sword beans, broad beans, etc.! We have many vegetable species here."

"Okay! Take them all!"

The two of them just took some here and there, and when they finally came out of the space, the seeds in front of them were piled up into a hill. They couldn't get to the great hall, so they had to call for help.

When everyone saw these seeds, they all smiled from ear to ear. These dozens of kinds of things enriched their supplies a lot.

Qiu Qiu divided everything into five parts and gave a little more to Qiu Han's base. Li Changqing laughed so hard that his teeth were exposed and he couldn't hold it back.

Others stared at him speechlessly, but no one was jealous. They all understood that Qiu Qiu would do this because the population of Qiuhan Base was much larger than that of the other bases, so the supplies naturally had to be distributed more.

The remaining four were all of the same quantity. Qiu Qiu explained that there were mostly children in An Ning's base, so the cost of trial and error was naturally higher, so he gave them the same number of seeds as everyone else.

Everyone has no objection to this. If the children go out to build infrastructure at such a young age, and more things are distributed to them, everyone will feel more at ease.

After the things were divided, Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han immediately organized members of the base to plow the land to plant cotton. According to common sense, cotton is best sown in April and matures after three to five months of growth. However, in these extraordinary times, they did not want to wait until Next year.

Anyway, with the blessing of spiritual spring water, the growth cycle of cotton can be shortened by almost half, so they don't have to worry about the plant not surviving.

Just as they were told, the two and their team members plowed the land, raked it several times and then did it again. During this period, they tried to level the land and break up the soil as much as possible.

Then, after applying sufficient base fertilizer with farmyard manure, watering was started to maintain moisture, ensuring that the water holding capacity of the cotton field reached about 80%, so that the tasks of sowing, spreading mulch, and covering with soil could begin.

After the cotton seedlings grow to a certain length, you can lift off the mulch film, and then pay attention to watering, fertilizing, insect control, weeding and other procedures.

In late September, it was time for the harvest. The breeze blew by, bending the cotton branches covered with cotton bolls.

Everyone looked at the fields covered with cotton blossoms like clouds from a distance, and laughed with joy.

Qiu Qiu cheered excitedly, "We succeeded!"

"It was a success!"

Xiao Han turned to look at everyone behind him, smiled and waved his hand, "Follow picking cotton!"

"it is good!"

Everyone took a bag each, quickly walked into the cotton field, picked the cotton bolls one by one, and carefully put them into the bag. Because there were so many people, it only took them one day to pick all the cotton.

Under the guidance of Wang Qiao and other villagers, everyone picked out the cotton seeds, then spun them into yarn, woven them into cloth, and then dyed them. After drying, they became the fine cotton cloth that everyone saw.

However, because the craftsman was not very skilled the first time, the cloth was not well woven and the color was not very even.

But this was already a very good thing for them. Qiu Qiu divided the first batch of fabrics into five equal parts and asked Li Changqing and others to take them to their respective bases and give them to the newborn children when they left. Use it, and if there is any left, give it to the younger children as appropriate.

Everyone was grateful to Qiu Qiu for his generosity. He gave it to everyone after planting the seeds of the happiness base. However, they also understood that it was easier for Qiu Qiu to plant things than others, so they could harvest them just thinking about it. He gave up on his kindness.
