The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1162 Simple meals, a peaceful life?
"This guy's gone mad! What is he trying to do? Doesn't he know it's dangerous?"

"He's not crazy. You seem stupid to me. Of course he knows it's dangerous, so he's running away. He's doing a test. Can't you tell?"

"If you don't understand, just listen to what others have to say and refrain from offering your own opinions, okay?"

The combatants' comprehension abilities varied. Some people's expressions changed drastically when they saw Zhang Xin's reckless behavior, but others understood why he did it.

When killing zombies right next to a horde, some corpses will inevitably fall into the horde. Testing the zombies' reactions beforehand can help you find a way to deal with them.

"Huh, huh..."

Zhang Xin returned to the roadside, panting, not from exhaustion, but from excessive tension.

With an excited smile on his face, he said, "Brother Chen, mission accomplished! Haha, I even tested it out. You saw it, right? The zombie corpses didn't even react when they hit them! This makes things much easier."

Chen Hanzhou smiled and nodded, saying, "I saw it. You did a great job. The three of you contributed to this mission. I will report back when we get back."

If Zhang Xin had only killed one zombie, he could have been rated "B minus" based on the "A, B, C, D" criteria. However, the subsequent tests were very meaningful, so giving him "A" would have been fine!

When Zhang Xin and the other two heard that their contributions had been reported, they all smiled with delight. Once reported, it wouldn't just be a simple honor; there might even be a material reward!

"Hehe, it's only right to do things for the camp." Zhang Xin was pleased, but he still didn't forget to thank Hong Laosi and Li Shuangbao.

"Come on, everyone!"

Chen Hanzhou didn't waste any more time. He beckoned to everyone and continued, "Zhang Xin, Hong Laosi, and Li Shuangbao risked their lives to help us test the zombies' behavior and have a preliminary understanding of the situation. Now I'm making some changes to the upcoming clearing operation. Listen carefully..."

The changes in the zombies have increased the difficulty of clearing them out, but they cannot give up their mission because of this. Overcoming difficulties and forging ahead is what they should do!

Both the zombie-clearing team and the weapons-transporting team encountered trouble, but they all managed to resolve it. The team responsible for setting up communications also encountered some minor technical difficulties, but after some research, they also solved them perfectly.

The only team that went to the port to pick up supplies went very smoothly without encountering any problems.

Before they knew it, it was afternoon, and the Land Cruiser FJ and Pajero returned to the camp.

"Wow, it's still so quiet. Looks like we were the first to get back!"

Zhang Su jumped off the vehicle. The camp was peaceful, with only the clear and melodious clanging of blacksmithing.

"Brother Su, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll go and arrange some."

Upon learning that Zhang Su and the others had returned to the camp, Zhong Xiaoshan took some time to go back to Tianma Island.

"No need, we've already eaten at the bunker. You can go about your business if you have something to do, don't worry about us."

Seeing Zhong Xiaoshan's hurried and energetic demeanor, Zhang Su knew that she must have a lot of things to deal with down the mountain.

"Hmm, I'm quite busy. I'll head down now." Zhong Xiaoshan and Zhang Su didn't need to beat around the bush; she left Tianma Island immediately.

"What a peaceful campsite! It's full of life. Three meals a day, simple food and plain drinks. I would be willing to spend the rest of my life here!"

Chang Qingsheng felt the leisurely atmosphere of Tianma Island and expressed his feelings.

"Yes, yes, what you said in the past was equivalent to saying that if I had a hundred billion dollars, I wouldn't mind living to be 150 years old."

Liu Tianji mercilessly criticized Chang Qingsheng for his unrealistic ideas.

"Eh!"

Chang Qingsheng didn't care about Liu Tianji's words. He waved his hand in the air a few times and looked at the others with some surprise: "Did you feel it?"

"Huh?" Liu Tianji was taken aback.

Qiu Hui chimed in, "The air is more humid, and the temperature is a bit higher than when we left. Is that the change?"

“That’s right! It must be Dr. Fu and the others conducting experiments. Let’s go take a look!” Zhang Su felt the change in climate soon after getting out of the car. The sensation was most direct in his mouth, nose and throat. He called the others to go to Cui Leng Xuan together. The steam spine would eventually be used throughout the entire camp, and there was no point in hiding it.

"Um, Brother Su, I won't go. The house hasn't been cleaned yet."

Qiu Hui was well aware of her position and wisely chose to leave.

Liu Tianji nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Su, the blankets weren't even made this morning, it was a mess. Let her go back."

"Your sister-in-law is so kind. By the way... go tell Old Ding to bring an electric wire over later, so this thing doesn't suddenly wake up!"

Zhang Su was anxious to check on the research progress of the steam-powered vertebrae and almost forgot about the large war zombie. On the way back, the stun guns on all of them had burned out...

After giving instructions to Qiu Hui, Zhang Su and the other two walked together toward Cui Leng Xuan.

"No!" Before even reaching the courtyard gate, Zhang Su stopped and turned around, saying, "They're not in Cui Leng Xuan, they're over there!"

At first, the sensation was not obvious, but once you get closer to the energy source, you can clearly feel the direction of the warm and humid airflow. It is not coming from Cui Leng Xuan, but from the vegetable greenhouse!
The three of them changed course and headed towards the vegetable greenhouse. From a distance, Zhang Su could hear a lot of noise inside. He lifted the plastic sheet and pushed open the door, and a humid and hot smell came towards him, mixed with the smell of soil, vegetables and fertilizer.

"Brother Zhang? You're back!"

Duan Wuhu greeted Zhang Su and his group with a beaming smile as they entered the greenhouse.

The four members of Cui Lengxuan, Zhou Haotian from the Invention and Creation Department, Yi Xiaoling in charge of agriculture, and her little helper Mo Qianlan, were all present. In the very center of the greenhouse, there was an A-frame ladder with an electric steam spindle at the top.

Through the light, you can see that the plastic film of the greenhouse is covered with moisture, and water droplets are dripping down from the edges and falling into the moist soil.

"Brother Zhang."

"Mr. Zhang."

Everyone busy in the greenhouse was dressed very coolly, and they all stopped what they were doing to greet the leader.

While responding to everyone, Zhang Su loosened his collar and said, "This temperature and humidity... the voltage is too high, isn't it? Do you have the specific values?"

"Currently, the temperature half a meter above the ground inside the greenhouse is 35 degrees Celsius, and the humidity has reached 80 percent."

Fu Weijun provided Zhang Su with accurate data.

Walking to the vegetable patch, Zhang Su looked at the lush green lettuce and asked Yi Xiaoling, "Isn't the temperature and humidity too high?"

He doesn't grow vegetables, but he has basic common sense: this environment doesn't look like it's suitable for growing vegetables; it's more like a tropical rainforest!

"Well, that's how it is, Brother Zhang... It can't be considered excessive. Different crops require different temperatures and humidity levels. Generally, the ideal range is between 20 and 40 degrees Celsius. As for humidity, it is indeed a bit excessive. The optimal range is between 50% and 65%."

This kind of knowledge comes naturally to Yi Xiaoling, who majored in agriculture.

Seeing that she didn't seem to care at all, Zhang Su smiled and said, "Judging from your confident demeanor, do you have a way to improve things?"

"Yes!"

Yi Xiaoling's face was filled with excitement as she confidently said, "We can improve the temperature and humidity by adjusting the greenhouse structure. It's not a problem! This...this device is truly amazing technology, Brother Zhang, it's incredible."

Yi Xiaoling pointed to the steam-powered spine high up, a fanatical look appearing on her face, like a devout believer encountering a miracle.

Zhang Su could not comprehend the awe felt by someone passionate about agriculture upon seeing a device capable of altering the climate.

Climate is the biggest challenge to agriculture, but now there is a solution, and it's so direct!

The emergence of the steam-powered spine will completely change the agricultural landscape of Tianma Island. She, the minor official in charge of planting, will finally no longer be a sinecure and will have a place to use her talents!
