After resting at ho for a night, the team had neither the nood or physical strength to leave. Even if they wanted to go out again, it was not possible right away. What’s more, considering the duration of each zombie siege – a small-scale wave would be around three to five days, larger ones may last more than a week. The size of this wave was not large but if they were outside when they withdrew towards them...it would dangerous part way through.
They packed up everything in the room, Yan Fei brought the tal they collected to the basent and strengthened places that were not finished. The others also organized and packed before waiting for the new shelves to be made. Then they filled it with compost to grow crops, the process was repeated.
The Otaku squad was stuck at ho for a day. At night, He Qiankun and Wu Xin sorted out the satellite photos and with the rest of the team they analyzed and observed.
"You see, there seems to be signs of the zombies retreating!" He Qiankun zood in on a few photos and showed the computer screen to everyone.
Unlike the previous two days, the zombies showed signs of leaving the southwest base. The past zombies had surrounded the outside regints while others continued arriving. But now the group surrounding the army looked like a line, as if gathering towards the north-right side of the base.
"Maybe they are going to retreat, in this case the zombies should be heading north after this. There is no danger to our area or the warehouse." Luo Xun touched his chin and pointed at the screen. "If this continues, the zombies will be gone tomorrow or the day after at the latest. The base will wait a day or two before cleaning up the battlefield and sending out teams to do tasks."
Even if the base speculated that the zombies would leave, for the sake of safety they would temporarily keep people inside. After all, they could not control when satellite photos would get taken. It seed that because so tech sites were destroyed after the end of the world, although the satellites would regularly photograph the situation and send, those on the ground could not control the target, frequency or other variables.
Coupled with the fact that many places had been destroyed with the apocalypse, there seed to be no way to launch satellites into space. Once one was broken...the people on earth could not repair it. One satellite gone was one permanently lost.
The team temporarily withdrew their concerns about the satellite. After discussion, they decided to hurry and go out again. They would head to the transportation company from last ti. If there were no supplies, they could go back to the warehouse and collect a lot of tal instead.
After making up their minds they acted very efficiently. The next day they drove out, the round trip took four days and Luo Xun harvested a lot. The place was strange, Luo Xun felt it was because – all kinds of strange food and drink were all mixed together. Although it was visited after the apocalypse, it was not a person’s first priority due to the ss.
So this operation was fruitful and efficient. With no zombies or other things to ss with their group, Luo Xun brought back all kinds of strange things.
From bottles, cans and flowers to washing machines, air conditioner and water purifiers. There was even a lot of dry food. They drove back with full cars.
The two won were looking at the shampoo, bath, dental and other high end skin care products. Although many of these things had limited shelf life, they could still be used. Luo Xun found a few parcels of strange flower seeds, he would take it back and see what plants would grow.
After this long-distance trip, Luo Xun and the others would not need to go far away for a while. Other than going out to collect tal, they could stay at ho to completely renovate their base. Then they could pass their days in relative comfort.
This ti after taking a closer look at the satellite photos, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief – the zombie wave at the southwest base had retreated and the base had not been broken.
"Boss, will we return at the end of the month?" Li Tie asked since it was close to the end of the month. The southwest base had just experienced the zombie wave, so places might not be open and prices must have risen a lot.
Luo Xun shook his head, "Not this month, we’ll go back early next month. First let’s finish with the stuff at ho."
They only went out two tis but found a lot of good things. The first ti, not to ntion salt, the shelves also had MSG and chicken stock powder, relatively durable seasonings. This month although they had harvested many green vegetables, the number was not to the extent that they were in a hurry to sell. Naturally there was no need to rush back to the southwest base.
One should know that after every zombie wave, the base would make so adjustnts. If they rushed back, who knew what would happen. It was best to wait a little while until things cald down.
After making up their mind, the team rested for a few days and then went out five or six tis in a row to bring back enough tal to continue their unfinished work.
Dug the basent and created all kinds of things. After this was done and covered in tal, the team was finally ready to deal with the planting area above ground.
Yes, the greenhouse.
After a number of modifications, Luo Xun finally set the design and with Yan Fei’s input, they finished the plan.
The first step for building a greenhouse was to build tal walls. It was about half a ter thick, made from tal with the highest toughness after special treatnt. They built it close to the edge of the mutant plants.
At first the plants were curious and constantly used their branches to check the new things. But with the smooth appearance, no parts to be grabbed, the rock-like posture, the plants treated them as real stones.
The second step was a secondary treatnt of the tal walls – painting.
Luo Xun picked out so colors and adjusted them until they were similar enough to the mutant plants. Yan Fei did a good job of painting the tal and recreating the new circle of tal. The second layer lted on top of the wall and ford a semi-circular do. It was like so stadiums that protected the audience but the center was empty.
The curved design from above closely resembled the surrounding mutant plants.
The purpose of this pattern was not only to hide from eyes but also even if the mutant plants grew taller, they would not reach the edges.
The tal fence was close to four ters tall, about the sa height as the second floor building. From a distance if soone passed by although they could see the upper edge of the wall, it would be thought of as a mutant plant. Deep underground beneath the wall was tightly sealed with tal.
With the fence done, the rest of the work was more convenient. Luo Xun and the others were not in a hurry to start work. They first waited for a day for more satellite photos to examine their ho. After confirming that the camouflage effect was good, even though they carefully looked there was nothing unusual, they decided to continue work the next day.
This ti, Luo Xun did not directly lay a tal floor, but turned the ground into sand first.
The ground was paved with slate and asphalt before the apocalypse so the soil was not suitable for planting things. So they would deal with the area and use better soil for planting.
Luo Xun put aside so marble floor and other decorative things for the greenhouse. Yu Xinran started to use her power.
The sand was transported to the car and dumped on the hills at the farm land’s edge. They also decided to tear down several small houses – the contents were moved into storage. Anything that did not fit was temporarily set aside or placed on a tal platform.
After all, Luo Xun and the others could not use the tractors, sowing cars and so on in a short period of ti, but these things were pretty good and a pity to throw away.
