Safety, food, dicine, these are the most basic guarantees.
Guxi’s gathering place is located in an agricultural farming area. With ample farmland and tily rescue by two Taoist hermits with special abilities, all the grains and vegetables from the last season were harvested, and the wheat was also planted. So, the normal production of food is guaranteed.
Even the at, which is scarce in other places, is abundant here. Chickens, ducks, geese, and cattle have been found across the county and are being cared for by dedicated people.
That’s the advantage of an agricultural city...
For safety, there’s Liu Minghui, who has wood-based special abilities, Lin Yu with earth-based abilities to deal with mutated monsters, plus, there are mutated dogs like Dahuang, and a mutated water buffalo nad Old Black. Although their fighting power is sowhat lacking, it’s adequate for now.
However, the combat power of ordinary people is rather deficient. Although they are actively developing various weapons, firearms aren’t easy to produce due to a lack of technical personnel, forcing them to rely instead on crossbows.
24-style Tai Chi has proven to be very effective for ordinary people. It greatly increases physical fitness and overall physical quality, and it’s easy to learn. It’s an excellent choice, so Li Ming decides to introduce it to everyone in the base.
As for dical treatnt, there are hospitals in the county. Although they aren’t top tier hospitals, they do have most of the necessary equipnt. With Liu Minying around, they’re confident of training a number of qualified doctors.
Moreover, the collection of books won’t cease. There must be textbooks in dical universities, and these books could serve as good introductions.
In addition, they need to figure out how to cultivate dicinal materials and produce dicine, but they’re short of manpower and technology.
For a gathering place at the county level, having all this is already quite good. They can’t possibly have everything available, and to restore normal ecology, they must rely on other places.
Things that can’t be done here due to resource scarcity may be feasible at other bases, and that is where trade between each other cos into play...
Isn’t that how society is ford?
Li Ming’s main goal is to strengthen his own cultivation and establish a foothold in the apocalypse, but if there are people taking care of these matters, his life would be much more convenient - for example, he won’t have to think of ways to obtain certain things he needs, as others would have prepared them for him.
Therefore, the ordinary people in the base need to take action.
Taking advantage of the assembled base personnel’s attention triggered by the arrival of people from the school, Li Ming took the initiative to disseminate this information, providing everyone a ntal preparation.
Of course, to implent these things in detail, a formal explanation is definitely needed.
After settling the people from the school, Li Ming chatted with Wan Fang and ordered him to handle related matters. After everything was sorted out, he asked him to consult others and think it through, then to announce the news after ten days.
These ten days are buffer ti that Li Ming reserved for farm work.
There’s not much to do during the wheat season, including pest control, but these tasks can all be completed within these few days.
Though pesticides are scarce, they are actively preparing onion juice, garlic juice, wormwood juice, and boiled chili water, which should have a good effect on pest control.
Otherwise, there is no other way.
After taking care of these matters, Li Ming returned to his residence to feed the mutated water buffalo so at and left him to stay in the open space in front of the building, then went upstairs himself.
"Woof Woof~"
The joyful bark from Dahuang ca from the second floor. Not waiting for Li Ming to approach, he opened the door and ca out to greet him. Li Ming laughed and rubbed Dahuang’s head. When he went to the second floor, he saw that his parents had also been attracted by the noise.
"Did you take care of everything?"
Li Chengshu, sweaty all over, stood at the door and looked at Li Ming, then glanced behind him to see if there was anyone there before asking.
"Yes, everything is taken care of. We have transported the people from there. I will probably have to go out again after a while, " said Li Ming, smiling and nodding. Seeing his parents bathing in sweat, he couldn’t help but inquire, "Did you exercise all day?"
"Yes, we did. If we don’t exercise for a day, we feel uncomfortable. It’s good you returned safely. Go ahead with your affairs. Your mother and I will continue with our exercise," said Li Chengshu, waving his hand.
After hearing that their son ca back safely, they were relieved and told him to inform them when he goes out the next ti.
Upon receiving special abilities, they were eager to exercise every day. With Li Ming’s guidance, they were quick to learn new skills. They practiced Taoist Tai Chi and ditative breathing thod every morning and evening and learned martial arts from Li Ming during the day. Their abilities were improving steadily and they were full of joy every day.
They witnessed how Li Ming’s trips out beca safer with Dahuang and were eagerly looking forward to becoming stronger themselves, at least so as not to be a burden to Li Ming anymore.
They understood the apocalypse very clearly and knew the importance of having two liberated abilities. Thus, they were unavoidably anxious.
"Are you having dinner here tonight?"
Liu Jianyun, seeing that Li Ming hadn’t yet taken off his armor and weapons, couldn’t help but ask.
"No, I’m not eating here. They should be cooking by now. Don’t bother too, I will ask Zhang Yuan to bring so food over, so you don’t have to fuss about it," Li Ming replied, smiling and nodding.
Li Ming waved his hand and chuckled. He knew what his parents wanted, but it was a good thing by all ans and he fully supported it. He was thinking of getting them so more mutant beast at. In the end, during the apocalypse, it would be more suitable for him to be strong.
"Alright, your dad and I will practice a few more sets, and then take showers. We’ll just wait for the daughter-in-law to bring over dinner."
Liu Jianyun wasn’t particularly polite. If this were a normal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, such behaviour would be inappropriate, but... she had so many daughters-in-law, who cooked enough food for a crowd every day. Therefore, adding two more portions was rely incidental, and she simply agreed.
Li Ming chatted with them for a little while more. Knowing that his son ca back from the south on his own, he could finally feel at ease with the couple. Moreover, he had returned safely so there was no need for further discussion.
"By the way, the man across the street moved out today. He seems to have found another woman."
Liu Jianyun casually ntioned an event she rembered. Li Ming glanced at the door opposite, nodded without concern, bid goodbye to his parents, and returned to his own apartnt on the third floor.
At the door which was closed, Li Ming knocked and was soon greeted with a wide smile and an open door.
"Honey, you’re back."
Wen Yan’er had prepared comfortable slippers for Li Ming. Her face was full of uncontainable joy when she saw Li Ming.
"I’m back, is dinner ready, could we send so to my parents?"
As Li Ming walked into the room, he placed his weapon aside, changed his shoes and took off his armour, he asked.
"Hubby!" "Hubby!"
Just then, two exclaims drew near. It was Run Yuyu and Wen Qingqing, who noticed the movent and walked over, their eyes sparkling brightly.
"Let’s all get ready for dinner, we’ll talk after we eat."
Seeing the three tender maidens huddled together, Li Ming licked his lips and said cheerfully.
"The al is ready, the vegetables are waiting to be cooked, it will be done soon."
Deng Yu noticed the commotion and walked out from the kitchen. Seeing that Li Ming was back, she quickly said with a smile.
"Hubby, was the journey smooth? Did anything unexpected happened?"
The sound had attracted all the won from around the room who were either exercising or resting. Knowing that Li Ming had gone to pick up people from the school, Zhang Nana ca over to help Li Ming remove his armour while gently asking.
She had so connections with that place, so Zhang Nana asked a bit more.
"Everything went smoothly. We had already cleared the area when we arrived, so naturally, nothing happened."
Li Ming said with a smile. Seeing Liu Minying and Xu Yunyun also co over to help, he allowed them to help him remove his armour. He then went on to change his shoes, "I’m going to take a bath, everyone get ready for dinner. Nothing happened at ho, right?"
"Nothing happened at ho. I’ll deliver the food to mom and dad in a while."
Zhang Yuan responded softly. With so many won around Li Ming, she didn’t want to crowd in. She just wiped the sweat from her body from the outside, her expression seed a bit downcast.
"Alright, I’m going to take a bath."
Noticing Zhang Yuan’s mood, Li Ming spoke smilingly. After travelling such a long journey, he was covered in dust and naturally need a good wash. He then picked up a towel and headed towards the bathroom.
Up until now, Li Ming’s won had their own ecosystems. Li Ming took his bath while the won were bustling about outside. However, Li Ming also realised that having too many won close together wasn’t good.
He was pondering that, around him, keeping only three would be most suitable, the rest should stay elsewhere. This would also prevent any everyday life obstacles that may arise.
After finishing his shower and as dinner was almost ready, Run Yuyu cheerfully ca to help him wipe the water droplets off his body. Li Ming took a good hold of her while he tasted the cleanliness on her body with his tongue, only then did he realize how clean she was when he tasted her scent.
Run Yuyu’s cheeks blushed slightly but she still went along with Li Ming’s actions until his hot breath hit her ear.
"Let’s go have dinner. We can continue afterwards."
Li Ming spoke softly, his emitted breath made Run Yuyu twitch. She slapped his hand lightly, "Hubby, you haven’t put on clothes yet."
"Get a bathrobe."
Li Ming didn’t mind, so Run Yuyu nodded, helped him put on the bathrobe and then out to the living room for dinner.
"Honey, did you bring back any dical books? Without textbook aids, just relying on is quite difficult to teach."
Sitting at the dining table, Liu Minying, who had previously discussed teaching dical techniques with Li Ming, couldn’t wait to ask him. She was evidently worried about the issue.
"I don’t have any yet. I’ll take so people out in a couple of days specially to the dical school to bring back all the textbooks and dically related books from the library."
