Chapter 434 - 434: Volcano Eruption; Rapid Evacuation



When the eternal night arrived, these things that could be used as fuel would come in handy sooner or later. All the corn had been plucked. Du Yue and the other two turned over the soil in the logistics boxes again and took out the seeds. The second time they planted the seeds, they split them into two.

One-half of the seeds would be planted with nutrient solution, while the other half would not. If this batch of seeds could increase the harvest without the use of nutrient solution, that would solve a big problem. Not long after the corn in the living room was planted, the corn on the first floor was also ripe. Not only that, the potatoes and sweet potatoes upstairs also ripened at the same time.

The corn did not grow as well as the ones in the living room. Not only did it produce less than half of the corn, but the corn cobs that grew were much worse than the ones in the living room, whether in terms of cob size or kernel size. Although it was an entire room of corn, the corn that was finally threshed out did not even amount to half of what they got from the corn that was planted in the living room. No wonder the people in the base were still hungry even though they had developed an improved species which did not have many requirements for growth conditions. It was because of this!

Not only was the corn harvest average, but it was the same for the potatoes and sweet potatoes. They were very small and had thick skin. They tasted a little astringent too. Compared to ordinary varieties, they took longer to cook. Even if they were ground into flour and processed into food, the food they made would still be astringent and dry. Their throats would be tugged, and the food was not easy to digest. Looking at the harvest, Du Yue had a headache. She simply put them all into her space. As for whether she should use the nutrient solution to improve the seeds, she would wait until all the corn in the living room was ripe.

Two months had passed. After more than two months, the batch of corn that had used the nutrient solution was the first to mature. Just like the previous batch, the corn cobs that were produced were very strong, and the corn kernels were also very full. There was not a single gap. Du Yue and the others had already ground the previous batch of corn into powder and made it into various foods. Whether it was the taste or the texture, they were all top-notch! It could be said that there were no flaws. After harvesting this batch of corn, they waited for more than a week. The other half of the corn that had not used the nutrient solution had all ripened.

In general, this batch of corn was slightly smaller than the corn that was planted with the nutrient solution. The texture and taste were also somewhat different, but it was still much better than the variety the base came up with. After all the corn was laid out to dry on a plastic sheet, Du Yue got a little lazy. When she first started farming, she was still somewhat interested. She planted the corn a second time to verify her guess, so she was quite happy. Now, her questions had been answered. Farming was a boring process, so Du Yue did not want to do it herself.

Xia Ju waited for a long time and saw Du Yue standing there in a daze. She had no intention of moving at all. She asked in puzzlement, “What are you doing?”

Du Yue looked at her and said faintly, “I don’t know if you’ve heard of this saying before. If you can’t lead a team, you’ll have to work until you die!”

“I’ve never heard of it…” Xia Ju repeated Du Yue’s words softly, deeply feeling that this sentence was a wise saying. “Then why don’t we hire some people to help us farm?”

She did not know if there were many things in the fourth base, but it was obvious that the fourth base had the most labor force. “I can go out and look for people…” He Xing said.

Before He Xing finished speaking, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded outside. The voice was sudden and sharp. Hearing this voice, Du Yue and the other two subconsciously looked outside.

This was not the alarm that He Xing had set up in their courtyard. Du Yue frowned. “Did something happen?”

Xia Ju had already taken out her phone. “Let me check the base’s forum!”

Du Yue was speechless. She was an alien, but how could she use her phone more smoothly than a native earthling like her?

However, this thought only flashed across her mind for a moment. Du Yue took out her phone and opened the base’s forum too. The moment she opened it, Du Yue saw a red notice at the top. [The nearby volcano will erupt within 24 hours. All residents in the base, please move to the underground fallout shelter within 12 hours of hearing the empty alarm.] When Du Yue saw this announcement, she was not as shocked as she had imagined. It was probably because he had expected this day to come sooner or later..
