Lu Xinyi lay quietly on the bed without any movement, but quietly released his mental power, spreading it to an extreme range of 500 meters.
However, within the range of her mental power, she did not detect anything unusual.
The entire base was very quiet. Apart from the patrols going back and forth, there was almost no one else moving around.
Did she hear wrongly?
But she clearly heard the sound of zombies just now.
The VIP room that Zhao Li arranged for them was located in the northeast center of the M base, a long distance away from the base wall.
Her mental power could not reach the wall, so she was not sure whether there were really zombies approaching outside the wall.
Maybe she heard it wrong, or maybe she didn't.
But as long as it is not a large-scale zombie attack, the patrol teams at the wall should be able to handle it easily.
She listened carefully again, but didn't hear any unusual sounds. She had to collect her thoughts, turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
Several people took the points cards given by Zhao Li and stepped into the cafeteria of M Base.
In the cafeteria, everyone still looked depressed.
Even though Hua Dai and the others brought back a lot of supplies yesterday, the amount of food that could be distributed to each survivor was still very little.
Sighs echoed in the cafeteria.
"It's really hard day by day."
"Who says it's not true? We work every day, but the food we get in return is still pitifully little."
"When will agriculture in our base be able to develop? I'm really tired of eating bread every day. I want to eat hot and fragrant white rice."
"Who wouldn't want to? But crops need time to grow. It's only May now, and even the rice has only just been planted. Even if we want to harvest it, we have to wait until August."
“Even if we can successfully harvest in August, it will still be difficult to feed so many people at the base.”
"Stop nagging me. In this world, being alive is good enough. Why do you need a bicycle? Eat quickly and then go to work."
The voices of discussion echoed in my ears.
Lu Xinyi looked straight ahead and followed the team slowly moving forward.
If the base wants to feed so many people, it really needs to vigorously develop agricultural production.
But the development of agriculture cannot be achieved overnight. Crop growth requires time and depends on weather and soil.
So far this year, there has been no extreme weather. If it occurs, crop growth will inevitably be affected.
However, the weather at the end of the world can no longer be predicted based on past experience.
No one knows when an extreme weather change will occur.
I don’t know if this was to confirm Lu Xinyi’s guess.
Near noon, a heavy rain poured down on our heads. The whole sky seemed to be leaking, and the rain was so heavy that we couldn't even see the scenery one meter away.
"It's raining too heavily!" Du Heng stood by the window in the VIP room, looking at the heavy rain outside and exclaimed in amazement.
Li Wanzhi stood beside him, frowned slightly and looked outside, saying, "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this rain?"
"Acid rain." Lu Xinyi said in a deep voice.
"Acid rain?" Li Wanzhi turned around and looked at her in surprise, "You said it was acid rain?"
Others followed and looked over.
Xia Lianqiao said: "I learned in school that acid rain can cause soil acidification, causing great harm to the land and the crops in the land."
"That's right." Lu Xinyi nodded, looking a little serious. "This acid rain will have a serious impact on Base M."
The most serious impact is on the land and crops in the base.
The base has limited land, and even if the crops in the fields have a good harvest, it is difficult to provide daily food for tens of thousands of people.
Nowadays, when acid rain falls, it will not only cause soil acidification, but also harm crops in the field. Reduction in production and quantity are minor consequences, and direct poisoning and death of crops are the most serious consequences.
Even if the production and quantity are reduced, at least there is still a harvest. If they die directly, there will be no harvest at all.
Zhao Li naturally knew this as well.
Therefore, when he discovered that it was a sudden acid rain, he paced back and forth in the office in worry, feeling overwhelmed.
However, in the face of natural disasters, human power is too small. Even though he knows that it is acid rain and will affect the soil and crops, he can do nothing about it now.
I could only watch the rain continue to fall.
The rain stopped the next morning and lasted for the whole day.
As soon as the rain stopped, Zhao Li took his men to the fields at the base.
When I saw this, I was completely stunned.
The seedlings that were originally green and lush, now look like frost-bitten eggplants, wilted and lifeless after yesterday's rain.
Zhao Li was hunched over, with a look of deep sorrow on his face.
He stood by the field for a long time without saying a word. The people who were traveling with him looked at him and did not dare to disturb him.
After a long while, he took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe his face, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and discuss countermeasures with agricultural experts."
Fortunately, there are many highly educated and high-tech talents in the base. He, a layman who has never farmed, can't find a solution, so he thinks those agricultural experts should have corresponding plans.
Lu Xinyi didn't know what Zhao Li was busy with, and she didn't ask.
Because Hua Dai, Yu Nan and three others came to find them.
As soon as she entered the VIP room, Hua Dai couldn't help but sigh: "This is really God's fault. Acid rain destroyed our fields."
Yu Nan's tone was also somewhat heavy: "If there is no harvest in the fields, relying solely on the field team to find supplies, there is no way to feed tens of thousands of people in the base."
All the materials produced in the past will eventually be consumed.
If we cannot continuously produce new materials, humanity will run out of resources.
"How long can the supplies your field team find sustain the normal operation of the base?" Lu Xinyi asked.
Yu Nan pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "I went to the warehouse to inquire before coming here. In recent days, except for the large batch of supplies we brought back yesterday, the supplies brought back by other field teams are relatively small."
"At best, I estimate it will only last half a month, and that's under the premise of strictly controlling usage."
At this point, he sighed and said, "We'll take a day off today. Tomorrow, we'll continue to go out and look for supplies."
"Let's go with you." Lu Xinyi said, "All the supplies we find will belong to you, and we will only share the crystal cores."
Hua Dai and the other three looked at her in surprise, then looked at Qin Jue and the others, and saw that they all had calm expressions and had no objections to this.
"You really don't want supplies, just the crystal cores?" Hua Dai asked uncertainly.
"We are not short of supplies." Lu Xinyi said, "If you feel you owe us something, you can give us a few more crystal cores."
Hua Dai nodded without thinking and said, "Okay, okay! You can take all the crystal cores!"
