RLDRFH Chapter 197

It isn’t easy to upgrade abilities without fighting. This is important news everyone in the team can confirm now. For a period of time after their convoy returned to the base, the single level 3 ability user in the base indirectly proved their guess.

Therefore, Yan Xin secretly exchanged the new food paste for a large number of crystal nuclei. After allocating those military forces that defected from the Song family after it imploded, he quickly arranged teams to go out on rotation.

Among them, Guo Bing and the original Samsara team was broken up. The most capable people took a team of more than a dozen people to take turns to going out and harvest crystal cores. The rest of the team had various jobs in the base. Each team will go out for 20 days, and have a three-day vacation after returning. After that, they will do various jobs in the base and wait for the next rotation to go out to fight zombies.

The most special case is He Zizhong and Fang Hao. As the big killers in the team, Yan Xin did not make any arrangements for them. They were not asked to go out and hunt crystal nuclei either. Instead, they had full freedom to schedule their itinerary at their own pace.

As the only 2 people with level 4 abilities in the base, Yan Xin did not let them lose their autonomy under his team. What if their efficiency is better than when going out with the team? In addition, the two men’s strength is relatively high, so apart from needing to report back to base once a month, they could do whatever they wanted.

Right now, the pair known for their strength were wearing beach shorts, slippers, and loose t-shirts, lying on the white sandy beach, and relaxing in the space.

“Finally done…”

“Yeah, it’ll be better in the future.” He Zizhong held Fang Hao’s hand in his own. A large umbrella printed with a certain brand of popsicles was used as a sunshade on the top of their heads. The pair lay on the ground watching Tuanzi chase seagulls in the blue sky.

Behind the beach rows of dense coconut groves, and behind the coconut trees, rows of newly planted saplings were planted. These are the rubber trees the base relies heavily on to produce rubber.

After Yan Xin got some plant seeds, he asked Samsara’s plant ability user to plant them as raw materials. The two of them went to the plant ability user and exchanged for some with seeds collected from that mutant plant they killed. The two of them didn’t dare to try planting this thing before.

After giving it to the plant ability holder, they also gave thousands of words of instructions, before experimenting and determining they do produce mutant plants. What’s even more pitiful is that the planted mutant plants did not obey the planter.

But these seeds weren’t useless. Planting mutant plants during large-scale zombie attacks can block the footsteps of a group of zombies! Because these newly grown mutant plants don’t seem to have high IQ, even if they are ravaged by zombies, they will not break away and hide in the soil. However, although they look hostile and will not obey orders after they are planted, they will not take the initiative to attack the person who planted them. They can be very good meat shields for plant ability users when escaping.

After getting the rubber tree seeds, He Zizhong and Fang Hao considered entering the space and planting them. They have too many ingredients in the space – how long will it take for the two of them to finish it?

There were still many matters in the base, so they could only wait until they left under the pretext of going out for crystal core hunting, before going on vacation! It sounds relaxing, but the farmland is so wildly overgrown that the road is almost completely blocked. The pair was forced to take several days to clean things up. They finally took care of all the crops and farmland yesterday, and could finally rest for a while.

The seeds of those rubber trees were planted in the space immediately after they got them. Now they have sprung and grown. Fortunately, plants grow faster in the space, otherwise, who knows how long it will take to harvest them?

“You say, is it really not going to rain outside?” Fang Hao’s mind was empty for a while, when he suddenly remembered that Yan Xin asked people to quickly prepare a tank to collect rainwater before they left. After they returned to the base, it has only rained twice. The rainfall lasts a while, but they are not as frequent as before.

“It’s hard to say.” He Zizhong died before it reached November in his last life. He really had no idea what happened next. “We have a lot of mineral water in barrels and bottles of various kinds of mineral water in our space.” They can consider selling some cheaper ones to Yan Xin when necessary – don’t blame him for profiteering. They originally collected so many things to exchange for crystal nuclei later.

Especially now that the space has risen to the fourth level. Who knows when it can rise to level 5? The road ahead is long, and no one knows what’s ahead.

“Yes… Also, who knows if there are any level 4 zombies in the city…” Fang Hao suddenly sat up, raised his hand and took off his t-shirt. “Let’s go swimming!”

These days of working in the space have been really exhausting. After waking up, the pair went to bask in the sun on the beach. Now that they’ve rested a bit, of course they want to go into the water and play for a while.

Before He Zizhong could answer, he heard a “pop” sound – Tuanzi had already rushed into the blue water, causing a large splash of white waves to surge…

Yan Xin finally officially named “that team”. This was picked after hearing others call his team as such in the base, and after other forces came over to officially register his team. Anyway, the name is completely unimportant. The important thing is that they have now become a force that cannot be underestimated.

Yan Xin has two devices for producing those food pastes, which can be exchanged for a large number of crystal nuclei. In turn, these crystal nuclei let them power up. After Yan Xin took in the original members of the Song family, all members who had not activated abilities, successfully stimulated them with help from the healers.

These newly obtained crystal cores quickly helped boost these people to level 2. After that, led by the old team members, the new members also quickly got used to the style of their team and went out to gather crystal cores and upgrade.

If Yan Xin was willing, he could take in those forces scattered across the base. But he is not in a hurry, nor does he have the idea to ​​completely unify the base.

The bigger the team, the harder it is to lead. Not to mention the situation in the base is already chaotic? Taking over the messy base in such a situation… his brain isn’t broken yet. What’s more, he is not the only one with ambitions. When those with ambitions but lack strength rush ahead and fall on their own, he will slowly clean up one by one.

Therefore, neither he or Yin Dong, who is now their think tank, have the idea of ​​rushing forward. They can slowly clean the base up, and one day they can do what they want to do.

In such a situation with multiple feudal lords, A city base finally ushered in the first Lunar New Year after the apocalypse…

“Ah, that couple is really working hard. They even went out during to kill zombies during New Year’s Eve.” Guo Bing sighed, sniffled expectantly, and stared in in the direction of the kitchen.

“Fang Hao said he wanted to go to the city with his husband for their honeymoon.” Le Tian also stared at the direction of the kitchen eagerly. He heard that the logistics department bought some mutant beast meat from somewhere two days ago, and is making dumplings today!

Honeymoon? In the city? Only those two lunatics will have such an idea. Guo Bing’s face twisted twice and slightly distorted.

Even the legendary “that team” didn’t eat much better than other people. Although they usually have enough portable “toothpaste” food, they haven’t eaten meat for a long time. Only those space ability users who still have some small hams or sausages collected in those early days can occasionally take them out.

Although they don’t lack vegetables and vitamins, they haven’t eaten real meat in a long time. Mutated animals are not very common. They are often found with zombie animals and killed. By the time their corpses are found, they are contaminated and cannot be eaten.

The shopping mall has undergone a second expansion. With the help of earth abilities, the entire mall has become a fortress in the base. The thickness of the surrounding walls are comparable to the base’s outer walls. Two more floors have also been added to the original two, for a total of four. No matter how cautious Yan Xin was in slowly recruiting people, the team is also expanding. Since the space around the mall is fixed and cannot be expanded, they can only find ways to build higher and deeper.

If they weren’t worried about encountering mutated plants, they would even dig deep holes to expand underground, instead of expanding upwards like they did.

As New Year festivities were in full swing in the shopping mall base, the couple, who everyone thought went out to gather crystal nuclei, lay comfortably in the small bamboo building in the space.

Piled on the large table in the living room are piles of various vegetables, meat, etc., most of which are raw and cold. In the middle of the table is an old-fashioned copper hot pot that uses charcoal. The pair has been waiting for night to fall – hotpot for Chinese New Year!

Beef slices, mutton slices, chicken slices, fish slices, fish balls and crab sticks, frozen tofu, fried tofu, raw tofu… In addition to all kinds of offal, fresh vegetables, prawns, and seafood can all be cooked…

Fang Hao, who was busy in the kitchen, trotted out with a plate of dumplings he had just wrapped. “Today, let’s try to cook some dumplings in the hot pot and see if they taste good.”

He Zizhong smiled and moved several plates to make room on the table.

Fang Hao, who had just put down the dumplings, slapped his forehead. “That’s right! There is still noodles!”

“It doesn’t need to be troublesome, I remember that we still have those hand-rolled noodles you made before and put underneath. Just use some of that.” He Zizhong pressed him and sat on the sofa.

Fang Hao finally gave up. Closing his eyes, he went to check the contents in the lower space to see if there was anything else they could throw into the hot pot.

It’s natural to eat something good for the New Year. Dumplings are the choice of most Chinese people. The pair wanted to eat hotpot, so they decided to combine these two things, and created such a table.

 


I want nabe or hotpot now. 🤤
