Ji Cha and Liang Jincheng returned to the T base, and were about to leave soon, but Ji Cha suddenly remembered the old man who had come to look for him before, wondering if his sister had any accidents in this incident.
Ji Cha asked Feng Xing about this matter. Fortunately, the area where the old lady lived was not in the area where the zombies broke in, so she was safe and sound at this time.
"It just so happens that we're here this time, so let's take someone there by the way, so as to save the two old people from waiting," Ji Cha said, "I'll also bring back the ashes of the zombies that were burnt this time, and wait for the results We may send someone over after we come out."
"Experiment?" Feng Xing was a little surprised when he heard this.
Ji Cha and the others did not mention the use of ashes as fertilizer with Feng Xing. After all, it is still unknown whether this matter will be possible, so they also thought it was a means of dealing with zombies.
Ji Cha felt that it was nothing to say at this time: "I'm going to go back and test to see if there are any substances that are harmful to the soil or crops. If not, this is a very useful inorganic fertilizer. When the time comes, we will distribute it between the bases on both sides. Yes. The production of crops is useful."
Feng Xing was awakened by Ji Cha's words, and immediately nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, then we'll be waiting for your test news."
The T base is not a little smaller than the S base, and there is a lack of many related equipment and technical personnel. Even if you want to get any accurate inspection results by yourself, it is very difficult.
Because they had to wait for the old man's sister, Ji Cha and Liang Jincheng waited in the T base for a while. Feng Xing asked the old lady to pick him up. When the old lady saw the young faces of Ji Cha and Liang Jincheng at first glance, she thought they were just technicians sent by Base S to pick her up, so she followed Ji Cha and the others with ease. After getting off the truck, he asked them gently about the situation of Base S along the way.
"My health is not very good. I used to say that I can take care of myself when there is no accident. At that time, my children and grandchildren were all there. Now I am the only one left in this situation, and I can't talk about recuperation. The leader came to me and said I thought it was a mistake when my brother came to look for me in base S, but no matter what, it’s good to have someone to rely on.”
Ji Cha comforted her: "You are originally from S city, this time you can be considered as returning to your mother's house, you can always take care of your body, and you will have a long life in the future."
The old lady laughed: "Young man, we are all people with one foot in the coffin, so how long is it?"
The reason why the old lady said that was because she was not sure about the living conditions of Base S in the post-apocalyptic world. Although her brother's letter brought her a very good description of the S base, the old lady felt that it was mostly her brother who coaxed her. As for taking care of her body, she doesn't know that the last days are no different than before. There is no concept of respecting the old and loving the young. In the last days, there is not much extra sympathy, and people without the ability to work are not welcome anywhere.
The convoy returned to base S according to the way they came. Before they entered the base, they could see a tent at the gate of the base from a distance, and there were many people living on both sides of the road.
The old lady followed Ji Cha and saw it at the window, she couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this person, is he a resident living outside?"
The people living on both sides of the tent saw the convoy and looked up. There was no emotion in their eyes. There were soldiers with guns not far away. The reason why the old lady thought that they were residents outside of Base S was because although they were only living in tents, they were still within the protection of the security personnel.
But Ji Cha shook his head and said: "No, they are refugees from other bases or without bases. The base is already full. Except for personnel with education or technical skills, ordinary people have no way to enter the base. They live here temporarily, waiting for new arrivals. The planned building area is completed, and there can be no lost attacks here. In addition, the base will provide a small amount of meals every day to ensure that no one has an accident due to hunger."
Essentially, these people are not considered residents of City S.
The old lady was a little emotional: "Since I got married, I haven't been back to this village for decades, and I don't know what's going on inside."
Ji Cha said: "The old houses are still there. If you go inside and take a look, the village is still the same as before. The wells are the same, but the wells have been dry for more than ten years."
Although the old lady has been married for decades, her accent is still the same, similar to Ji Cha's dialect. Going forward, the old lady learned that Ji Cha's family had an elder from the same village as herself, and immediately asked him the name of the elder, and it turned out that they all knew each other when they were young.
It stands to reason that the old man could talk about these things when he came to Ji Cha, but the old man has put Ji Cha in the leadership position, so naturally he is not good at chatting with him, but now the old lady thinks that Ji Cha is an ordinary young man, chatting with him He didn't seem restrained, but when he talked about it now, he felt that Ji Cha was just a descendant of an old friend, and he became more and more intimate.
After entering the base and getting off the car, Ji Cha originally planned to ask the old lady to follow other staff members to find her brother, but the old lady recognized him and insisted on following Ji Cha.
Ji Cha simply asked the old lady to go back to the farm office with him, where he waited for the old man to pick him up.
Ji Cha handed over the ashes to Qin Shuang and asked her to take them there for testing by technicians. The old lady is sitting in Jicha's office. The farm's office is very ordinary, just like a small office in a small town. Except for a computer that is relatively new after the end of the world, there is nothing special about it. Lian Jicha is sitting The stools looked weirdly uncomfortable.
"Xiao Ji, if you work on a farm, how much do you earn every day and what do you eat?" The old lady asked him, "I guess what I can do in the future."
Ji Cha said truthfully: "My salary is about the same as that of ordinary workers. Every day, 25 o'clock information point, the information point is our money, but I can't spend the money for food and rent, and food and other things are included in it, so Basically, you don’t spend any money, you save it all.”
The old lady nodded: "Then the welfare here in your unit is quite good."
Ji Cha smiled and lowered his head: "It's pretty good."
The two chatted together, and Ji Cha also suggested to the old lady a lot of work that she could participate in, that is, the salary of the old man's family is destined not to be too high, after all, labor efficiency is here.
About half an hour later, when the old lady's brother arrived at the farm office, the old lady had already chatted with Cheng Fangji, Tea Wang Qinxue and others, and probably knew about the situation of Base S.
When the two brothers and sisters met, they cried a lot.
Cheng Fang persuaded: "Go back and have a good rest first, there is still food in the cafeteria, let's eat first."
The old man nodded and wiped away his tears, took his sister to thank Ji Cha, and then left with others.
After going out, the old lady talked about Ji Cha with the old man: "That little Ji is really good."
Seeing that she called Ji Cha that way, the old man quickly corrected him: "I want to call you Director Ji, who is very nice, but he is the leader after all, he is kind, but we can't be so casual."
The old lady smiled with tears in her eyes: "Brother, you are still so old-fashioned after all these years. I called Xiao Ji all the way just now, and Xiao Ji didn't say anything, and they called Xiao Liang, Team Liang. It looks good to me."
When the old man heard that Liang Jincheng was still there, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He had to give his sister a popular science about the operation and leadership of the base.
"Captain Liang is called Captain, but now he is the leader of the base, not to mention us, even our army here is under his control. Although Chief Ji is kind, he manages the farm and many places. The right to speak in the base is also great, especially he and Captain Liang are a family, and both of them are stomping their feet in the base to shake the sky, do you treat people like ordinary young people?"
After hearing what her brother said, the old lady gradually realized that she was reckless before, but fortunately, the old man didn't have the attitude of blaming her, and now both of them are happy.
"The cafeteria is not far from home, you are here today, let's go eat something good," said the old man.
Although the old man said that he wanted to eat something good, the old lady did not expect the food in the canteen of base S to be so good. The braised pork is a large piece of meat, the vegetables are juicy and tender, and there is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish.
When the old lady walked through the aisle, she also carefully observed the meals eaten by ordinary people on both sides, white rice or white steamed buns, many people had at least a little meat in their bowls, but it was a question of how much.
She was shocked: "Is this the way you eat all the time?"
Not to mention ordinary people in the T base, even Feng Xing and the others couldn't eat like this every day.
The old man said with a smile: "I didn't have such affluence in the past, but now it's farming, so there is meat every day, and it used to be bitter, so I just put some shredded pork in the dishes. I told you not to call me Xiaoji, that is. Because these are all under the control of the season manager, no one in the base can say anything bad about his work.”
On the other side, Ji Cha followed Liang Jincheng back to the factory for dinner. Everyone was curious about the results of the zombie treatment, so Ji Cha told them all.
"We're just waiting for the test results in two days. If it's good, then we'll share the ashes with Base T."
Zhang Xing frowned: "Let's just talk about fertilizer, it's awkward to talk about ashes."
Xiao Chao giggled beside Zhang Xing, who was timid.
Zhang Qinqin also smiled: "There are many things."
The night is peaceful, the lights in the base pass through the high walls, illuminating some of the world outside the base, but the light is out of reach, and the world is still cruel and desperate.
