Chapter 118: Dividing the Areas
“Currently, the Base has special care areas: the Cultivation Building, the Warehouse Building, and the Breeding Farm. The Underground City needs care just like the outside. Grandmother is in charge of the Cultivation Building’s key, Xia Ru is in charge of the Warehouse Building, and Ma Ya Ru is in charge of the Breeding Farm. Xia Ru, you’ll come with me later. Mu Xue, Brother, I’ll trouble you to explain the precautions for the underground breeding farm to Ma Ya Ru.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Mm, we understand. You and Xia Ru can leave first.”
“Mm.”
Xia Ru followed Sang Chu to the Warehouse Building: “You open the door first.”
“Okay.”
Upon opening the door, a sign on the first floor indicated the contents of each floor.
Sang Chu: “There are two buildings inside. The left is the Armory, and the right is the warehouse for Food and Seeds. Usually, most Seeds are stored here. Which do you want to see first?”
“Then Seeds.”
“Alright, open the door.”
The elevator was also locked. You could only enter after opening the door. The second floor had some Seeds soaking in water: “Sister Sang, what are these?”
“This is Spirit Spring Water. Everything soaked inside are Spirit Seeds, which are the main grain for the Underground City’s cultivation. I made the Warehouse Building so private to protect these secrets. You must know by now that what we eat is not ordinary.”
“Mm, after eating, my body feels very comfortable.”
Sang Chu led him inside: “This water in the pools is Spirit Spring Water. Your daily work will also involve soaking the Seeds needed for the Breeding Farm in this water. Only after they naturally sprout can they be transplanted. This job is tedious, and Grandmother is old, which is why I’m entrusting this Mission to you. Can I trust you?”
Xia Ru said sternly: “Of course, Sister Sang, don’t worry. I will not betray the Base!”
He knew Sang Chu had secrets, but he never expected them to be so significant!
Sang Chu smiled: “No need to be so nervous. I brought you here because I trust you. Let’s go see the third floor.”
“Okay.”
The third floor of the warehouse was filled with eggs and Young Animals, with water everywhere. They were soaking in the water, and the indoor temperature was very high.
Sang Chu: “These are all the Poultry the Base currently has. You need to pay close attention to controlling the temperature here; it cannot be below 30°. Also, pay attention to the Spirit Spring Water; add more whenever it’s low, it’s better to have too much than too little. These Spirit Birds are very delicate and die easily.”
This was already the best method she could think of. These Spirit Birds were truly too delicate. Of course, it was also possible that the Apocalypse was not suitable for breeding.
She had lost count of how many had died. The ones outside were still alive, all thanks to that reckless Child Bao Yu feeding them his Supernatural Ability daily. If this continued, he would be crippled even if he didn’t die.
Therefore, Sang Chu devised a less-than-ideal solution: soaking them in Spirit Spring Water from a young age to barely keep them alive.
Young Animals were much easier to take care of than adults. They didn’t require much Supernatural Ability, and you could just Accelerate Growth when they needed to eat, which saved a lot of time and effort.
When Xia Ru heard “Spirit Birds,” his heart skipped a beat, but he immediately corrected his demeanor: “I’ve noted it.”
Sang Chu: “There’s nothing else particularly important to remember. However, only you can enter this Building, understand? If you need help, you can only find someone without Supernatural Ability to come in with you. Later, I’ll find a way to install a detector at the entrance of the Building. If someone with Supernatural Ability enters, it will issue a warning, so you’ll know if they are a Supernatural Ability User or a normal person. Of course, this alarm won’t be detected by them.”
“Sister Sang is worried about Supernatural Ability Users breaking in to steal, is that it?”
“Mm, these are the core veins of the Base, so we need to be cautious. Actually, the key is just a diversion. Right now, only you and I can enter this Building. Even if others get the key, they can’t get in. The Building is surrounded by traps. If anyone tries to steal the key and open the door, they’ll fall into a trap. So, you don’t need to worry too much.”
Xia Ru: “Sister Sang, rest assured, I will be cautious.”
“Mm, I’ll take you to see the Armory. These Weapons are very special; they use Light Energy. You’ll also need to ensure they are fully charged regularly.”
High Technology?
With both Spirit Birds and high-tech items, Xia Ru became increasingly shocked the more he saw.
What kind of Base had they come to?
Sang Chu: “I’ve basically labeled all these Weapons. That white container over there is the energy container. After you retrieve these Weapons, just put them in there. Oh, and this is a Physiological Inhibitor. It can reduce the monthly troubles for women. You can ask later if anyone needs it, and they can get it from you directly. This doesn’t need to be returned on a fixed schedule; just return it if you don’t want to use it anymore.”
Holding the Booklet Sang Chu handed him, the more Xia Ru read, the more he felt this Base was a giant treasure trove. Not to mention the Apocalypse, even before the Apocalypse, such things were rare.
“Okay, I understand!”
Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Sang Chu knew she hadn’t chosen the wrong person. Although he was very curious and confused, he didn’t show it and didn’t ask questions he shouldn’t. This kind of person was suitable for doing important work.
“The official business is mostly done. Now, let’s talk about private matters.”
“What?”
Xia Ru didn’t understand what private matters Sang Chu wanted to discuss with him, so he looked at her intently.
Sang Chu walked over to a Stool and sat down, placing her hands on the table: “You probably want to awaken your Supernatural Ability, right?”
Xia Ru nodded, on high alert. Although he didn’t know what Sang Chu wanted to talk about, he had a gut feeling it was something big, something that would affect his entire life!
Sang Chu: “Actually, the Underground City also has a Breeding Farm for raising Zombies. Only Lu Min Feng and I know about this. Do you know why?”
“Sister Sang hopes I’ll feed them while you’re away?”
Sang Chu smiled: “It’s good to deal with intelligent people. I do have that idea. Don’t worry, we don’t need people to feed them. Instead, we’ll use the Spirit Birds you saw earlier. The top floor of the warehouse is full of Spirit Birds that died normally. If you’re not afraid, I’ll give you access to the Breeding Farm. Daily, you’ll be responsible for taking the Spirit Birds to feed them. Of course, it’s best to record their condition.”
Xia Ru: “Since Sister Sang trusts me, there’s nothing I cannot do.”
“Are you sure? The Breeding Farm is full of Zombies, which is very dangerous. Moreover, you are just a normal person without Supernatural Ability. If something happens, no one will be here to save you.”
“Sister Sang, the Apocalypse is inherently full of danger. Furthermore, if you’re not here, the Zombie Breeding Farm needs someone to take care of it.”
Since the two of them hadn’t told anyone else, it meant others probably disagreed with this course of action. However, he had no such reservations. Raising Zombies or anything similar, as long as it didn’t involve human lives, he had no psychological burden.
“Alright, since you have no issues, I’ll take you to see it. Take this and try it on.”
