Chapter 174 New Mission

The journey back was much easier than it was. Apart from a few mutant animals wandering around, I never encountered any other enemies along the way.

It took about twenty days to go back and forth. When the outline of the base appeared in front of everyone, the people in the entire team were basically relieved.

"Ahhaha, I, Hu Hansan, are back..."

Lei Zi raised his hands and cheered. He was about to yell a few more words to express his excitement, but suddenly Lin Yuliang poured a basin of cold water.

"Didn't your name be Lei Dapao? When did you change your surname to Hu?"

Lin Yuliang held his chin with his right hand and asked thoughtfully: "Change your surname casually, are you sure your dad won't beat you to death?"

"Who changed his surname? I just cheered casually, wanting to express my excitement. Can you not ruin the atmosphere here?"

Lei Zi snorted angrily, and his mood that he wanted to continue cheering disappeared instantly.

It would be strange if he could still cheer if he was thrown into a basin of cold water by breaking through!

After the cheer was interrupted, Lei Zi looked unhappy all afternoon, as if his whole spirit had disappeared.

Lei Zi's bad mood did not last long, or there was no chance to last for a long time. In the evening, Sun Meng, who brought his wife and daughter to have a meal, brought new news.

“Is there no longer enough food in the base?”

After hearing Sun Meng's words, Su Ming and others felt a little surprised.

This news came so suddenly that I had never heard of any news about it before!

"It's not that the news came too suddenly, but because you haven't paid attention to this news before!"

Facing the unexpected gaze of several people, Sun Meng couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"In fact, we have asked special personnel to calculate how long the food stored in the base will last. It is precisely because of this that the old leader is anxious to ask us to go to the arsenal to bring back all the weapons and ammunition in the warehouse. So, weapons and ammunition are now enough, so the old leader proposed to collect supplies!"

“Where is the location?”

Su Ming nodded in a clear way, and then asked about the specific content of the task.

"There are several small villages and towns around City A. We sent people to investigate the inside of City A. Now it has become a zombie world. It is not feasible to collect materials there. Therefore, after some discussion, we set our target on the small villages and towns around City A! "

Sun Meng took out the prepared map from his pocket and pointed the location to Su Ming, saying: "The population in these small villages and towns will not be too large, and the number of zombies will be relatively small. Moreover, most rural families have the habit of storing food, so you should be able to find a lot of food there!"

“When will you set out?”

Su Ming just glanced at the map and took his eyes back. She didn't care where she wanted to go. She was not familiar with the geographical environment of this world anyway, and thinking about these has no meaning.

"The old leader gave us a day's rest time, so that we can have a good rest tomorrow, take a breath, and set off as soon as possible the morning after tomorrow!"

Sun Meng raised a finger and said embarrassedly: "I know, this holiday may be short... Well, it's indeed a little short, but there is nothing I can do about it. There is really not much food in the base. We don't know how many days it will take to go there, so we can only set off early, so we'll come back early with the food!"

"It's okay, understandable!"

Su Ming smiled indifferently, but then thought of another thing.

"At the same time, how are the foods that were previously planted in the base now?"

When she came back from City A, Mu Xingzhi told her that the base was trying to grow grain. Now that it has been so long, what happened to the grain?

"Oh, don't mention it..."

As soon as he talked about this, Sun Meng couldn't help but frowned.

"The weather this summer is so hot. There are not many seeds planted in the seedlings and seeds that can be sustained. Basically, 90% of them were sunburned to death. I won't mention the confiscation of the harvest. The food used for the seeds was wasted in vain!"

Not to mention the food that has been planted, there are many survivors in the base who died because of the high temperature. Faced with the power of nature, they do not have much strength to resist at all.

"That's how it works!"

Su Ming pondered for a while, then said: "The weather was indeed too hot before, so it was normal for the seeds and seedlings to survive. However, it is already the end of summer, and the temperature is probably going to slowly drop. Now you can prepare and try to replant it!"

"I'll talk to the old leader tomorrow and ask him to organize a meeting of personnel as soon as possible to see what should be done!"

Sun Meng nodded in agreement. Indeed, it is already the end of summer now, and the temperature is probably going to drop slowly. If you plant it at this time, there should be no more plants to be sunburned.

"I think we can issue a notice to bring together people who have many years of farming experience in the entire base!"

Lin Yuliang thought for a while and tentatively made a suggestion.

"Professional matters must be left to professional personnel to solve. No matter how much lay people discuss, it sometimes won't work!"

“This method is good!”

Sun Meng nodded, agreeing with Lin Yuliang's statement.

Professional matters are indeed left to professional personnel to solve. Take him as an example. It is okay to ask him to lead troops to fight, but if he wants to write poems and essays, it is just a pity for him.

A group of people were giving ideas one by one, discussing exactly what to do about base planting.

Then……

"Boss, you said that we are discussing so hard now. What if the temperature does not drop?"

Lei Zi frowned and looked sad.

"After all, it's the end of the world now, and everything cannot be viewed with the eyes of the past. Although it's the end of summer, no one can say whether the temperature will change according to the season as before the outbreak of the end of the world?!"
