Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 45 Get rich through hard work
In the next week, Zhou Yi focused on mining in the sea every day, and occasionally hunted some blind monsters along the way.

Unfortunately, because the Wuming community has a small number of residents, the reserves of rice, flour, oil, beverages and alcohol are limited.

But even so, Zhou Yi still relied on his hard-working hands to dig deep again and again and filled a container with these supplies.

He stood in the container warehouse, his eyes scanning each item with satisfaction.

On the iron rack on the left side of the wall, there are all kinds of canned and plastic bottled drinks. Coke, Sprite, juice, salty soda, sports drinks, etc. are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are also a small number of bagged potato chips, nuts and candies.

Rice, flour, grain and oil were piled under the iron frame on the right wall, and on top were pots, pans, various condiments and a small amount of cigarettes.

Facing the main door, there were wooden boxes lined with hay to prevent collisions, filled with glass-like wines, including Red Star Erguotou, Niulanshan, Luzhou Laojiao, and two intact bottles of Maotai.

The full bags of supplies are neatly stacked.

In the past, this was just a simple converted convenience store.

It seems to give people a sense of security.

Zhou Yi thought that if he went to the seabed regularly to purchase goods, he should be able to make a lot of money just by selling these things.

According to the data provided by Red Falcon, most people in this wasteland era are struggling to make ends meet, and only a few large cities have sufficient supplies.

Generally speaking, the production of grains and meat is very low everywhere, resulting in high prices. The new humans mainly rely on edible mushrooms that are easy to grow and obtain as their staple food. It's just that different places produce different mushrooms.

Zhou Yi told Gong Zheng beside him: "The things here are important commodities for the company's export. Every transaction must be recorded."

The young man on crutches said solemnly, "Chairman, each of these Dead Sea artifacts is worth a fortune. You risked your life to get them from the Dead Sea. I won't let anything here get lost! No one can take anything away except you without shipping procedures."

Zhou Yi is confident about this warehouse manager.

He asked about another thing: "What is Jin doing recently? I haven't seen him much."

"He's in the Death Dunes."

Zhou Yi frowned: "We have only cleared a small part of the stinging antlions over there. They are still very dangerous."

Gong Zheng showed a somewhat embarrassed look: "I tried to persuade him, but Ajin thought there was something over there. He talked to the old scavengers in the past and they said that the Death Dunes were not formed naturally. The stinging ant lions followed a big monster and turned the place into a continuous desert."

"Ajin suspects that the monster may have died there. The Death Dune is the monster's grave. The thorny ant lions are its guards, so they will attack anyone who wants to pass through the dunes."

Zhou Yi thought about it.

Although the land near the town of Changu is not fertile, there are oases and rivers, and moist soil. However, the thorny ant lions are completely concentrated in one place, tightly huddled together.

On the other side of the Death Dunes is Jitou Town, which has better water sources and soil, so poultry can be raised there.

There are spiny ant lions in this middle area alone.

Suspicious indeed.

Zhou Yi asked Gong Zheng: "Have you ever heard of this saying?"

"No."

Gong Zheng said: "After I moved to Changu Town, I basically stayed in the underground caves of the market town. Ah Jin is different. He has been hanging out with scavengers since he was a child. Many of these scavengers have wandered around and eventually ended up in Changu Town. This place is poor, but we don't exclude outsiders, no matter who they are, and we don't need personal identification."

"The stories told by the scavengers are all kinds of strange, some are true and some are false."

"Ajin believes this because he knows a scavenger who has dug out burial objects from the Death Dunes. They are not metals like copper and iron, but they are very hard and difficult to damage."

Gong Zheng took out a piece of paper from his bag with a sketch on it.

"Look, this is the burial object that Ajin mentioned. I drew it based on his description. He said it basically looks like this."

Zhou Yi took a glance.

It looks like a large PVC pipe, which you could see on the roadside in the past.

"But don't worry, Ajin is a professional scavenger, and he has been learning from you. Ajin asked Night Claw to go with him, and he will only dig in the marked safe areas."

Zhou Yi thought it was pretty good.

This kid continues to do what he is interested in.

The Wasteland Development Company was established to train more employees, whether new humans or light species, to allow them to spontaneously develop and transform the environment. This was what Zhou Yi wanted to see.

The current development of this land seems vigorous, but lacks in-depth exploration. Akin's focus on the Death Dunes is an attempt worthy of encouragement.

"Tell him to be careful and let him know if he needs any help." "Yes, Chairman, I'll tell him as soon as I see him."

……

inside the house.

Zhou Yi walked to the kitchen stove, opened the lid of the pot, and hot steam hit his face.

Although there is no gas stove, it does not affect heating - Jade City can create the effect of an induction cooker in the designated area, and the bowl of rice can be steamed with the pumped groundwater.

Zhou Yi opened several prepared packaging bags, added Fuling pickled mustard tuber, chili sauce and a bag of spicy and sour bamboo shoots to the bowl of rice, and then took a bite with chopsticks.

The soft, sweet hot rice, paired with the side dishes, brings back the old taste.

This is life.

cooked rice!

Zhou Yi finished a big bowl of rice with the help of sparkling water.

The only downside is that you need to wash the dishes yourself.

It doesn’t feel good to just throw the bowl away.

These are antiques from the old human era.

Forget it.

Next time I’ll sell it to Qiansu and the problem will be solved.

Anyway, there are dishes waiting to be washed in the residential buildings under the sea, it’s all the same.

After having a good meal and tea, Zhou Yi took out a comic book "Old Master Q" and started reading it.

What he gained this time was that there were several sets of comic books in someone's bookcase, and he asked Samurai Crab to move them back.

In the old human era, Zhou Yi seldom read paper books, but now he has regained the feeling of his childhood.

He was watching with great interest when suddenly a voice popped up in his head.

"Energy has been restored to 30%, and memories can be recalled."

"Now I know what happened."

It's the Emerald City.

Before Zhou Yi could respond, the building life said to itself, "I was on land when I woke up, and my body was severely damaged. At that time, I was farther inland, and my energy consumption was huge. I was in urgent need of energy replenishment."

“So I moved in the direction of the energy response.”

"In a living area composed of plants, I discovered a strong energy reaction. I stopped and began to dig that land, which consumed a lot of energy, and I also found the source of energy."

After asking, Zhou Yi confirmed that the life zone mentioned by Emerald City was the mushroom forest.

The Emerald City describes: "There is an energy pool that is almost like an underground lake, with abundant energy. I used the energy pool to recharge. But there are many impurities, and the absorption efficiency is very low. After inhaling it, I became confused and confused."

"During the brief time I was awake at last, I discovered that a kind of mud mushroom there could filter and remove impurities from the energy pool. I could use it to collect light seeds. But the process was very slow, and I waited for a very long time."

"The large number of plants there entangled and parasitized me. They absorbed my energy and made me weaker and weaker, so I fell into a deep sleep."

"Until recently, when I was awakened again."

Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed.

Is there an energy pool under the mushroom forest?

Could it be that the angel of death left it there to grow mushrooms?
The key is.

Can mushrooms produce light seeds?

Mud mushrooms refer to... stone mushrooms?

If it is true as the Emerald City says.

This mushroom that can produce and collect light seeds is a strategic-level crop in the wasteland era!
