Chapter 128: Thoughts on farming

“Brother Ye, Brother Ye, it hurts.” Da Ming was sweating profusely. Ye Zhongming’s grab nearly broke his arm.

Ye Zhongming quickly released his hand and expressed his apologies to Da Ming.

“The other people in the base know that there are three gachapons here. Before they were protected by people, many people saw them.”

Da Ming rubbed his arm and explained to Ye Zhongming.

“Three of them are all in the east. One is in the underground carpark, one is in a building and the other is on a rooftop.”

Ye Zhongming felt his heartbeat speed up and he asked the problem that he cared about most, “What level are they?”

“What level?” Da Ming scratched his head, “Should be level one and two? Anyways the crystals are the same as those on the heads of the zombies outside. Some are grey, some are white. The one on the rooftop is white so it should be level two.”

It really was level two!

Ye Zhongming was really excited.

In his last life, he left the city not long after he became a level one evolved which was why he didn’t know about the level two wheels in the city. After getting the level two crystals, he was planning to find a level two wheel. Apart from entering the base to get bullets and seeing if there were certificates or scrolls, he also wanted to get news about level two wheels.

He didn’t expect that not only was he getting news here, but the wheel was also even in the base!

This felt too easy.

Da Ming even knew the position of the wheel. Ye Zhongming memorised it. He wasn’t worried that he couldn’t find it as the gachapon would glow which made it easy to find at night.

A few of them returned back to the apartment after buying food. Due to what happened to that woman, the few girls had no interest at all. Nothing in the market could attract them.

Jia Ming was still searching for news and did not come back yet. They set up their own beds while Ye Zhongming went to the roof alone.

This building was 20 stories high. Jia Ming and Da Ming’s family lived on the 18th floor and there was no one on the 19th and 20th floors.

Ye Zhongming looked out into the distance and was able to see the entire district. Only now did he know that this base was huge. It covered two streets. Although it didn’t fully cover the two streets but there were at least a few hundred buildings.

Cement was used around the buildings to build a wall that many soldiers were patrolling. Their attention was placed on the outside and they didn’t notice Ye Zhongming who was on the roof.

Ye Zhongming was able to see the situation outside the base too. Although he had seen such things many times, but he was still a little shocked now that he looked at it. n0Vεlusb.c0M

He saw that the entire base was surrounded by zombies and mutated animals. There were no gaps at all. On a rough count, there were over 50 thousand zombies gathered here!

The new district didn’t have that many people but that was in comparison to the city center. There were still a few hundred thousand people living here. That might be fewer than those of other regions but after the apocalypse struck, the number of zombies was still very sizeable.

Ye Zhongming knew why the base was in danger every day. He saw many mutated zombies that were all level two. Fortunately, there weren’t any level three zombies if not the walls wouldn’t be able to block their attacks.

The human scent of the base was too strong such that the zombies weren’t willing to leave. Although they couldn’t do anything to the thick walls but dangers existed at any moment. If a problem occurred, the base would be in danger of collapsing.

Ye Zhongming frowned and felt a little uneasy.

In his last life, if survivor bases faced such a situation as zombie hoards or monster waves, the base would go all out to try and defend against them. Usually, there weren’t be so many zombies surrounding the base as these were all hidden dangers that might explode. The survivors would find a way to wipe out the zombies and animals around to ensure that they were always safe.

The most common method would be for the survivors in the base themselves to wipe the monsters out. Not only would that give them huge amounts of crystals, but they could also train the army and protect the base better.

Some bases even used special methods like cannon formations, farms, drawing them to other places, even hiring mercenaries etc.

Ye Zhongming didn’t know when the new base would clear them out but one thing was such, they would definitely do it if not the base would be in danger.

He looked around and he didn’t see the level two gachapon from the roof. It was probably far away or blocked by other buildings.

He went downstairs and saw Liang Chuyin, Park Xiuying and Mo Ye cooking. They had a huge pot and found some old furniture to burn and cook rice. They placed sliced pork slices on it. Little Tiger was hacking wood while Le Dayuan and his helpers were opening cans.

Da Ming smiled and squatted down. The swallowing motion of his throat showed his inner thoughts.

Ye Zhongming looked at the food that others craved and was a little unsatisfied.

He realised that he had forgotten about a matter. Although evolved were strong but they still needed all sorts of vitamins to be healthy. Their food lacked vegetables and if this continued, problems would appear on their bodies.

Evolved were just strengthened normal people and that didn’t mean they were gods that could survive on water.

Ye Zhongming knew that very clearly.

He told everyone and told Little Tiger and Da Ming to follow him down.

“Find some things to collect soil, try to get the fertile ones.” Ye Zhongming ordered and they got busy. Although they didn’t know what the boss wanted to do but they still did it.

Ye Zhongming found a bag and dug some dirt to put it in.

The three of them made two trips and Da Ming was so exhausted. He wasn’t evolved. He climbed the 18 floors many times and he even had to carry the soil. If not for the boar meat strengthening his body, he might have already collapsed.

Ye Zhongming told Da Ming to rest and told him to come over for a meal. That made him so happy that his facial muscles were shaking. After which, he told Little Tiger to spread the soil on the roof and maintain a 10 centimeter height.

After this, Ye Zhongming returned to the market to purchase distilled water. He collected all the water. Although that attracted attention but after he casually punched a hole into the cement floor, people who had bad thoughts all retreated.

He carried the water and returned back to where they stayed.

The reason he did all this was because he wanted to test the Gardener skill, he wanted to see if he could make some fresh things.
