Chapter 160 Doomsday World 12
Upon hearing that Shen Yimin's base had nearly 20,000 people, Lin Xiaoqian became even more enthusiastic and insisted on having him stay for a proper meal before leaving.
Shen Yimin initially wanted to refuse. He wanted to return to the base as soon as possible to get the data and exchange the farm tools for the new ones, and then have his men hurry up and collect the things Lin Xiaoqian needed to exchange for the aircraft.
But when he saw a table full of steaming hot food, Shen Yimin couldn't bring himself to refuse.
He hadn't seen or eaten food like this in a long time.
After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Yimin sat down and first shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth. The soft and sticky texture and rich aroma of rice instantly spread in his mouth, and he couldn't help but shovel a few more mouthfuls to savor it.
The rice was delicious; he even felt it tasted better than the premium rice their agricultural college had cultivated before the apocalypse.
The steam rising from the bowl momentarily blurred his vision.
In fact, anyone who has lived in the apocalypse for a few years would be moved to tears just to have a hot meal like this.
Seeing that Shen Yimin was only focused on eating rice, Lin Xiaoqian warmly urged him to eat more vegetables and strongly recommended that he try the chicken hot pot.
Shen Yimin quickly calmed himself down, slowly raised his head, and looked at the fragrant chicken pot.
The chicken is visually appealing, accompanied by a variety of side dishes, and steaming hot with a rich aroma.
He picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. The chicken was tender and juicy, with a rich flavor that made his taste buds, which had not been exposed to seasoning for a long time, tremble.
good to eat!
Shen Yimin couldn't think of any other words for a moment, only these two words came to mind.
Meanwhile, the six men beside him were already eating without even looking up.
Liu Zi was glad that he had been an undercover agent at the Kuixing base, otherwise he would not have met Lin Xiaoqian, and if he had not met Lin Xiaoqian, he would not have had the chance to eat such delicious food.
Liu Zi felt incredibly happy at that moment!
It's like a dream!
"Six sons!"
A shout startled Liu Zi from his 'dream'. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Kuishan's burly figure standing at the door, looking at him with surprise. Behind him was Zhou Xing, the second-in-command of the Kuixing Base.
Li Kuishan strode over and slapped Liu Zi on the back: "I thought you were dead! Where have you been?"
Liu Zi felt that the slap must have caused him internal injuries. He grimaced and touched his back, his mind racing as he thought of how to respond.
"Boss Li Kuishan, I was planning to go back to the base to report the news that day, but I got lost halfway there and encountered wild beasts and almost died. Luckily, I met some kind people who rescued me and saved my life." Liu Zi said while carefully observing Li Kuishan's expression.
Li Kuishan frowned, but didn't doubt him: "You've had a tough time, kid. Don't run around like that next time!"
Liu Zi nodded quickly in agreement, secretly relieved.
Then Shen Yimin was introduced to Li Kuishan and Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing glanced at Shen Yimin sitting to the side without making a sound, frowned slightly, and remained silent.
Li Kuishan, on the other hand, greeted Shen Yimin quite warmly: "Haha, thank you for saving my brother. I am Li Kuishan from the Kuixing Base, and this is my brother Zhou Xing. If you need anything in the future, just come to us."
Shen Yimin replied politely, "Mr. Li, you're too kind. It was just a small favor."
Shen Yimin quickly finished his meal and asked Zhuang Damao to take him back to the base in a flying vehicle, while Liu Zi was left behind to go back to Kuixing Base with Li Kuishan.
Because population is a very important issue in each base, especially since Liu Zi is a strong and healthy man. Bases generally don't easily let such a useful person leave. Moreover, Liu Zi has important matters to attend to at the Kuishan base, so it's appropriate for him to go back with Li Kuishan now.
All the promised agricultural tools have been loaded onto the aircraft. As for the agricultural machinery, since they didn't expect it to be useful in this world and it was quite large, Lin Xiaoqian didn't take it out of the warehouse. She just told Shen Yimin that it would be delivered to his door tomorrow.
Upon arriving at Shen Yimin's Tomorrow Base, Shen Yimin readily provided Zhuang Damao with all the information about the growth agent.
He wasn't worried that Lin Xiaoqian and the others would change their minds and not deliver the farm machinery to him. On the contrary, he felt it was more normal for Lin Xiaoqian not to deliver the machinery.
Those tractors and tillers that were promised are quite large; the aircraft simply can't fit them, so it's impossible to transport them over.
But Shen Yimin was dumbfounded when his subordinates reported the next day that he had seen a bunch of agricultural machinery set up on an open space near the base.
How is this possible?
When he arrived at the destination, he touched the agricultural machinery that was common before the apocalypse. The familiar, cold metallic texture stirred up a complex emotion in his heart.
He glanced at Zhuang Damao, who was still delivering the goods alone this time, with only one aircraft behind him that could only carry 200 people.
Shen Yimin's eyes trembled. His base had a large number of people and guards, and people would patrol and warn from time to time, but no one noticed that Zhuang Damao had brought such a large number of agricultural machines to the vicinity.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Shen Yimin asked, "Mr. Zhuang, how did you manage to transport all this machinery here?"
Zhuang Damao remained calm and composed: "We have specialized transportation, but I cannot disclose that information."
What else could it be? They bought a bunch of storage bags in the cultivation world. The storage bag he bought for himself was also quite spacious, more than enough to hold a few agricultural machines. They would quietly fly to the vicinity of Shen Yimin's base and then quietly take the machines out. It's that simple.
Although Shen Yimin did not get the answer he wanted, he felt that Lin Xiaoqian and the others were becoming more and more extraordinary.
In addition to delivering the promised agricultural machinery, Zhuang Damao also came to pick up people from Shen Yimin's base to go to the restaurant to exchange items.
Shen Yimin's base has a large number of people, but the aircraft can only accommodate a maximum of two hundred people. They also need to bring the collected plants, which will further reduce the number of people who can board the aircraft. Therefore, the people who go to exchange things are all arranged by Shen Yimin and several leaders in Tomorrow's base.
Even what was exchanged was predetermined.
This makes them less fortunate than the people at Kuixing Base and Hope Base, since almost everyone at those two bases has been to Lin Xiaoqian's place and can exchange whatever they want.
At first, when Shen Yimin's Tomorrow Base was exchanging supplies, Zhuang Damao still needed to pick them up and drop them off in his aircraft. But after a few days, Tomorrow Base had enough supplies to exchange for aircraft, and then they could fly over to exchange supplies on their own.
The aircraft does not have navigation, but it has a built-in scanning system that records the route after each flight, and you can simply follow that route afterwards.
As for flying to other places, you still need to connect to the satellite navigation system of this world. Although this world has undergone changes, it is said that the satellites in the sky are still in good condition. For example, Boss Huang of Hope Base has a satellite phone and can still contact others.
Lin Xiaoqian once sighed, wishing Zou Yue had come along. With her as a super artificial intelligence, these kinds of things would be a piece of cake.
However, according to Shen Yimin, someone at their base is skilled in this, and he believes they will be able to connect to the navigation system soon.
These past few days, quite a few people have come to the restaurant, and everyone likes to have a good meal there before leaving.
Moreover, they discovered that it wasn't because they hadn't eaten seasoned food in a long time that they found the restaurant's food delicious, but rather that the food at this particular restaurant was simply exceptionally tasty.
They bought some seasonings and ingredients themselves, but they couldn't recreate the taste of the restaurant at all.
With more people coming to eat, the system task was completed quickly.
However, even after the system task is completed, Lin Xiaoqian will still cook for people who order food later.
