Under the rays of the sun, Shuishui revealed a large expanse of snowy white skin from her open collar.
The distance from the practice field to the villa was not far, but by the ti Shuishui finally set foot on the ground, she felt unsteady. Her partner hurriedly went to support her, admiring the sweat soaking Shuishui’s chest, while also respectfully watching Li Ming leave.
"Honey, the harvest season has started everywhere. However, the proportion of wheat that can be sown for a second ti is not large. Should we keep all the self-reproducing wheat to act as seeds?"
As Li Ming walked into the villa, Zhang Yuan was sitting there, chatting with Chen Li. Hearing the noise, she turned to look at him. Seeing it was Li Ming, she stood up to get him his slippers while asking him that question.
Food is a crucial strategic resource at any ti because without food, people can’t survive. This is the basis of human existence, and any issues related to food are of great importance.
With ti ca the first wave of wheat harvesting. While reaping their grains, many people also took the opportunity to report various issues.
For example, the primary issue of grain seeds.
Even though Zhang Yuan is marked with Li Ming everywhere, she dare not make decisions without asking his opinion.
"What’s there to ask? Of course, keep all of them..."
Li Ming furrowed his brow. As he finished speaking, he realized that those who had reported the problem were not asking whether they should keep the seeds but were asking what to do if there were not enough seeds.
He is considered a god-like figure to normal people, and those survivors who are in charge of farming would never dare raise a big issue about food with him.
Nobody would dare question him with any tone that might suggest a challenge.
Zhang Yuan was in the sa situation. Known as his ’wife’, she holds a respected position in many peoples’ hearts. Many things that are taboo to ntion to Li Ming are also taboo to her.
Li Ming thought, even a common survivor with superpower abilities tasked with managing food wouldn’t dare to bluntly voice out the issue.
Surely, the recyclable grain seeds are insufficient. It must be a problem concerning food shortage, otherwise, they would emphasize upon preserving the grain seeds in such a roundabout way. How to solve the insufficient grain seed problem was the main issue.
"Can’t speak up directly due to fear, instead my way around to with this roundabout phrasing. They’re having a tough ti."
Li Ming shook his head without imdiately answering the question, he stretched out his hand and started to play with the well-behaved Zhang Yuan.
"Has our base’s research departnt co up with anything yet?"
Li Ming’s muttered softly as they nuzzled together. Perhaps because his mouth was full of soft at, he was speaking unclearly.
"There’s only five people in the research departnt, none of them deal with food-related matters, they can’t study about the food."
Zhang Yuan’s voice was also unclear, it sounded as though she was forcing the words out of her throat.
"What about other bases?"
Li Ming frowned, sounding sowhat dissatisfied. Food is so important, such a big issue, yet the problem was only discovered now, which made him rather unhappy.
However, he realized this matter had indeed been neglected by him all this while. They’d always been focusing on enhancing their combat power and had been ignoring these indirect forces.
"No base has such a team, there are college students with relevant majors, but... they’re all good-for-nothings."
Zhang Yuan was having difficulty speaking so Chen Li on the side helped her answer it, upon seeing Li Ming frowning, she couldn’t help but speak up: "However, we have secured many granaries, the grain reserves we have will last at least for two to three years."
"Grain stored in granaries is inanimate, whereas the grain in the fields can grow. We can’t rely solely on the granaries. This matter should be taken seriously."
With the developnt of superpowers, Zhang Yuan’s skin had beco finer and softer, Li Ming didn’t want to let go and continued to mumble unclearly. He then recalled: "So, let Tie Jun lead a team to collect grains from every city they can find, especially the grain seeds, they should be preserved."
"At the sa ti, organize and preserve all information and materials related to grains, allocate more manpower to that."
"Ensure that all regions allocate the necessary manpower to make sure the grains are harvested successfully. There can’t be any mistakes during this critical mont, everyone should work harder."
"Ensure a sufficient supply of provisions."
During his contemplation, he issued all the instructions for all the points he had thought of, then hesitated and spoke: "As for the matter about the research personnel, let’s wait another two days, maybe there’ll be a different outco."
Ever since the apocalypse, the survival rate of humans has been very low. It was quite normal for a base city like Hope City and its surroundings to not have the right research personnel, but Li Ming didn’t believe that all the other base cities didn’t have the suitable personnel.
For example – The Arbitrator Alliance.
"Wait another two days?"
Chen Li questioned with uncertainty, recalling the Arbitrator Alliance, she smirked and nodded. She then returned to the kitchen. Seeing Zhang Yuan, she busied herself preparing for lunch.
After she was done, noticing that Zhang Yuan was too preoccupied, she voluntarily went to a side corridor where she found Peng Zhi.
"He said, from now on..."
Chen Li relayed Li Ming’s intentions to Peng Zhi who was nodding his head repeatedly, listening to each word attentively and simultaneously jotting down notes rapidly.
