Chapter 858: The Disaster Of Crops

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Since that day, Lin Kui’s squad was attacked by all sorts of mutated creatures. Meanwhile, each base had finally brought the chaotic situation under control three days later.

In Sea City Base, Wu Chengyue and the others were having a meeting in the conference room. Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue had brought Kong Qingming back to Sea City Base. They told the others about what happened in All Beings Base, then learned about the damages that their own base had suffered.

They felt like lucky survivors from a disaster, especially when this disaster happened too suddenly.

“Was the crazy rat group a sign of this?” Kong Qingming, who had woken up by now, sat in the Deputy Chief’s seat as he said with a frown.

“Based on the research result provided by All Beings Base, that gas delivers lethal effects to all living creatures. But, why were only half of the people affected?” Wu Chengyue asked while reading the copies of the materials in his hands.

Clearly, that question was for Moli, who had been studying in that sphere.

During the past few days, they had noticed the situation outside, apart from what happened in the base. Currently, all trees in the base had been chopped off. A part of the healthy trees in the base had died while the other had mutated. Mutated plants couldn’t be left in the base.

The outside world was now like a virgin forest. The streets and roads had been devoured by parks or green belts.

A lot of mutated animals had gone crazy like those maniacal superpowered people.

Each day, some more superpowered people lost their minds and suddenly started attacking the others. That situation never stopped.

Later on, Xiao Yunlong brought back the research results from All Beings Base. Based on that, they gathered all the superpowered people and gave them blood tests. According to the results, they isolated the ones who might go crazy, in case they hurt the others.

All the isolated ones were under twenty-four hours watch. They would be sedated immediately by the automatic devices in their rooms once they showed a sign of losing control.

In fact, All Being Base shouldn’t have shared the research result with Sea City Base. However, Lin Qiao, Lin Feng, and the others ran a discussion, then decided to share it with them for free, in order to convince Sea City Base to agree to give All Being Base a bigger hunting field.

“I’ll find out the cause as soon as I can,” Moli said blandly without any expression. In spite of what she said, finding out the truth was not as easy as it sounded like.

Based on the current research, the gas turned into the material that All Beings Base found after entering the bodies of living creatures. That was why only half of the people were affected. That material wasn’t detected from the blood of the other half of the people. It might not exist in their bodies, or might have been hiding in their blood.

“I’ll send more people to help you,” Wu Chengyue nodded and said, and Moli nodded expressionlessly in response.

“About the hunting field, are we going to do what they said?” Xiao Yunlong asked.

Wu Chengyue was wearing a faint smile all the time. However, no actual smile could be seen in his eyes.

“Zou, is the situation bad in the agriculture department?” he asked.

Zou Shihui’s face was as black as thunder in the past few days. The word ‘serious’ was not enough to describe the situation in the agriculture department. All the crops had died. Currently, the farm was a dead, barren land.

The entire farm had died, so they needed to grow new seedlings and to start over. In the coming few months, they would need to eat the stored food in the granaries.

That wasn’t important. The important thing was…

“The soil has died. It can’t grow crops anymore,” Zou Shihui closed his eyes, looking tired and irritated.

Wu Chengyue’s expression faded as well. He sighed and said, “So, we can’t save that land?”

“About that… I think we should compromise with All Beings Base. At least Miss. Lu’s farm isn’t affected, is it?” Kong Qingming said.

After returning his base and seeing the dead farm, Kong Qingming tried very hard to come up with a solution. Later on, he received a message, saying that the soil in the farm of All Beings Base wasn’t affected. Only the plants there were affected.

So, in order to save the farm in Sea City Base, they needed to figure out why All Beings Base’s farm was spared from the disaster.

The entire Sea City Base would need All Beings Base, for a while at least.

So currently, Wu Chengyue had no spare attention for the hunting field. The zombie lady could have as much of the land as possible. His top priority now was to solve the problems in his base.

Hearing Kong Qingming’s words, the others fell into silence. At last, they all gave a sigh.

In All Beings Base, Lin Qiao and the others were speechlessly looking at the dead plants in the farm.

Liu Jun squatted on the ground, holding a handful of soil. “Thankfully,” she said, “we can still save the soil.”

A large group of level two and three zombies were scattered in the field on both sides of the road, each carrying a bucket of water. They sprayed the water on the soil inch by inch.

The water was a mixture of the lake water from Lin Qiao’s space and regular water. Lin Qiao had been watering the soil with her lake water since she first started developing the farm.

After the second explosion of the virus, the crops on the farm died. However, the soil didn’t change; it was still alive. Except for the farm, the soil in all the other areas had died. The dead soil was full of the virus, and could only grow mutated plants.

“I still have a batch of crops in my space. The seeds will sprout soon too. It’s alright. We’ll soon grow some new crops,” Lin Qiao comforted her.

Liu Jun had been taking care of the farm since the very beginning. She must be feeling sad and frustrated, as the crops that she grew with care had all died.

Liu Jun was upset indeed, feeling awful. But, what comforted her a little was that the soil was still fine. Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, she let out a long breath, then stood up.

Lin Qiao stood by her side, resting her chin on her palm. At first, she thought the lake water from her space was losing its effect on the virus. It turned out that that didn’t happen.

She ordered her zombies to remove the dead crops, then water the soil with the mixture of the lake water and regular water. After that, she brought out the seedlings that Lu Tianyi grew in her space.

In the recent couple of days, Lin Qiao didn’t let other humans come to work in the farm, except for some soldiers from her base. Those people were still in an unstable mindset, and weren’t suitable for work yet.
