Although the old farm has put into use bone ash manure, it is far less popular than the new farm, so the overall effect comparison is not very obvious.
Hearing what Cheng Fang said, Ji Cha took a rough look at the planting data she had recorded in the new area: "It's still not completely sure, let's continue to observe."
Since it is in the early stage of growth, and the mutated crops are not always very stable, there may also be some special situations. Whether the mutated crops are compatible with bone ash manure remains to be verified later.
The workers on the farm in the old district were already familiar with Ji Cha, and they were very used to him inspecting work and the like. But most of the farm workers in the new area are refugees from outside the original base. They don't have a strong sense of belonging to the base, and they still have a sense of awe.
Before Ji Cha arrived this morning, someone notified these employees that the leaders above were coming, so when Ji Cha arrived, all the workers on the farm tensed their backs, only wanting to show their most willing side show up.
Ji Cha saw their intentions and knew their intentions. After all, he himself was once in the position of being inspected.
Ji Cha let out a breath, and he turned to Cheng Fang who was beside him and said, "I'm alone, you don't have to follow me, go about your own business."
Cheng Fang nodded and left hesitantly. The other workers on the farm were tense, so Ji Cha simply abducted the farm.
Many places in the new area are still under construction, and now the daily food is still delivered from the old area, and the canteen is relatively simple.
The only place that is the busiest, besides the farm, is the entrance to the new district. The arrival of winter has further killed the hope of survival of the small base, and many small settlements with hundreds or dozens of people have been found one after another. The first thing to do when entering the base is to undergo a physical examination. After the physical examination, you must pass a 48-hour quarantine before you can be put into the base.
The officer in charge of customs clearance was also familiar with Ji Cha, and when he saw him coming from a distance, he immediately put down what he was doing and greeted him: "Chief Ji, did you come here with Captain Liang today?"
"Yes, are you busy here?" Ji Cha went over, the two exchanged pleasantries, and walked to the checkpoint together.
At this moment, three men and a woman walked into the base. The woman was a little thin, so her pregnant belly appeared abruptly. The three men beside her looked like brothers.
The base attaches great importance to women. There is no way, the number of female members joining the base after the end of the day is far less than that of men. The male-to-female ratio is now eight to one.
Seeing that the woman's belly seemed to be about to give birth at any moment, Ji Cha couldn't help but feel a little worried: "How many months are you pregnant?"
The woman lowered her head and said nothing, and one of the three men replied, "I'm not very sure, maybe it's been more than seven months."
"It's been more than seven months?" Ji Cha was a little surprised.
"It might be multiple births, anyway, it's more than seven months."
If there are multiple births, it is even more important to protect them. Newborns are the inheritance of hope for the base.
Ji Cha turned to the officer and said, "Old Qian, did they pass the physical examination?"
Old Qian nodded: "It's passed. I just finished the forty-eight hours of isolation. There shouldn't be any problems. What's wrong?"
"I think so. The medical equipment here in the new area has not kept up, and the overall conditions are not as good as those in the old area. It is better to take people to the old area first, and then return here after the production is over." Ji Cha said.
Old Qian said: "That's fine too. Which of you is the father of the child?" He asked the three men.
Unexpectedly, the three men said: "We don't know about that either, we've all slept together before."
Although Ji Cha and Lao Qian both felt disgusted, they were not surprised. There are various regulations in the S base to prevent these absurd occurrences, but outside the base is the world ruled by the law of the jungle, and it is very common for weak women to be regarded as assets that can be possessed by force.
"Then you don't have to follow any of them," Ji Cha turned to the woman, "Come with me."
Seeing that Ji Cha was going to take their woman away, the three men immediately became anxious: "Hey, this is our woman, how can you take it away?"
"I want to take her back to a place with better medical conditions to give birth safely. As for the relationship between you, let's talk about it after the delivery is over. If she is still willing to live with you at that time, we will naturally return her to you .” Ji Cha said.
The woman kept her head down, but when she heard Ji Cha's words, she quickly raised her head, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Really?"
"What?" Ji Cha asked.
"Can I choose after the baby is born?" the woman asked.
It was only when she raised her head that Ji Cha noticed that there were still many marks on her neck, whether it was pinched or beaten.
"Really." Ji Cha nodded.
The woman immediately strode close to Ji Cha, and said firmly with a trembling voice, "Then I'll go with you."
The three men were held back by guns. Although their faces were full of resentment, they didn't dare to say anything. They could only watch the woman leave with Ji Cha hugging her stomach.
After questioning on the way, Ji Cha learned that the woman's name was Xiao Hui, she was only nineteen years old this year, and she didn't know the three men before the end of the world. The three men are brothers. They met Xiao Hui and her boyfriend while avoiding zombies. They killed Xiao Hui's boyfriend and took her by force.
"This is not their child," Xiao Hui told Ji Cha, "I was pregnant before I met them."
Later, she didn't struggle, didn't run away, and tried her best to cooperate with the three brothers, because she knew the hearts and methods of the three, and she had to commit herself to them in order to leave the blood with her lover.
"If you want," Xiao Hui grabbed Ji Cha as a life-saving straw, "I can follow you in the future, as long as you don't let me go back to those people, I can do anything."
"No," Ji Cha shook his head, "After you give birth, you can start a new life with your child. You are still young, and there are still many possibilities and opportunities in the future."
Xiao Hui looked into the distance, with a hesitant tone: "Really?"
In fact, Ji Cha didn't know too well, he handed Xiao Hui over to the guards who came with him, and transferred to another area by himself.
There are not many original buildings left in the new district. There is a building that used to be a district office. The highest place has ten floors. It has been vacated and will be used as offices for various departments in the future. The farm office will also be set up here. .
Ji Cha climbed up to the tenth floor to the rooftop. There was a bench on the roof, and Ji Cha lay down on it. Looking up, you can see the blue sky, there is a breeze blowing by your ears, and the surroundings are peaceful. It doesn't matter if you close your eyes and pretend that this is before the end of the world. However, outside the high wall, horrible mutant creatures are still raging, and the ugliness of human nature is still vividly displayed.
Even though he thinks on the bright side and lives again, although the end of the world is still coming, at least this time he has a family, a lover, and a stable life. But Ji Cha couldn't help but think about what was really happening outside the base in the apocalypse, and that was what most people would face after the apocalypse.
"What are you thinking?" Liang Jincheng's voice suddenly appeared, and his toes landed lightly on the ground.
Ji Cha suddenly opened his eyes, somewhat startled by him: "How do you know I'm here?"
Liang Jincheng sat down next to Ji Cha, he slowly approached Ji Cha, and then sniffed his neck lightly, as if an animal marked the territory: "I can smell your scent."
No matter how far apart.
Liang Jincheng's figure couldn't fit on the bench, so Ji Cha sat up and leaned on Liang Jincheng instead.
"I wonder if all this will end, is it possible for us to return to the original civilization?" Ji Cha asked softly.
"This is a big question, and we cannot control or predict the answer," said Liang Jincheng on Ji Cha's shoulder, "but what I can assure you is that everything will develop in a good direction."
Ji Cha thought of those ten years, like a dream. Although the S base at that time was also developing very well, the atmosphere was completely different from the current one. Liang Jincheng at that time was not the same as Liang Jincheng now.
Thinking that all this could be done again, that he could meet Liang Jincheng again and be with him, Ji Cha couldn't help but want to marvel at the magic of fate.
"Maybe there was a time and space where we didn't get together right away," Ji Cha said slowly.
But it was immediately interrupted by Liang Jincheng.
"No matter what time and space we are, we will be together."
