Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Xue Tao and the others didn't say anything else and just buried their heads in their work.

When they were tired and resting, Zhipeng and the others talked about what happened on the mothership and told Zhou Jianghai and Mumu some bad news: "The windows of the cabin where the cultivation area on the mothership was located were all smashed by ice particles, and there was a problem with the power system. All the plants froze to death overnight, and even the mushroom cultivation base was not spared."

Fortunately, the mushrooms are almost mature, and harvesting them early will only result in a slightly smaller quantity.

But others suffered heavy losses.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianghai's face darkened instantly, his brow furrowed, and a hint of anxiety flashed through his eyes. "The entire farm is ruined? This is no small matter. Grain and vegetables can't be grown just by planting them. It takes at least several months to harvest a batch."

The cultivation of grains and vegetables cannot be achieved overnight. It takes 1-3 months or even longer to accumulate before a batch can be harvested.

And now the dead plants have cost the planting staff so much effort and energy.

The most important thing is that the planting soil has been damaged and frozen, and I don’t know whether it will affect subsequent planting issues.

Zhipeng sighed and nodded. "Yes, the staff of the Planting Department have put in so much effort, and now it's all gone to waste. We are now worried. If the supply of materials is not available, what will happen to so many people on the island?"

Mu Mu stood aside, feeling heavy-hearted, and couldn't help asking, "What about the breeding department? How's it going?"

Xue Dong's face wasn't looking good either. He shook his head and said, "The situation at the breeding facility isn't optimistic either. Although chickens, ducks, and rabbits reproduce quickly, the cold snap was so severe that many poultry froze to death."

Fortunately, most of them survived, but the breeding center actually raised chickens, ducks, rabbits, fish and the like, which are easier to breed, are small in size and do not take up much space.

But the little we have at the farm isn't enough to feed so many people."

Zhou Jianghai was silent for a moment, staring at Xue Dong with a serious look: "How long can the breeding department last? If the planting department only produces food in a few months, how long can the breeding department's resources last?"

Xue Dong gave a bitter smile and spread his hands helplessly: "Uncle, your idea is too idealistic. The scale of the breeding department on the mothership is so small that it can only be used as an auxiliary. Breeding and planting together can only provide food for a thousand people. But we now have more than 5,000 people."

That's a gap of three quarters!

Therefore, it is no wonder that people were anxious and disappointed when Captain Du took the fishing team to such a far place to fish, but came back empty-handed!

Zhou Jianghai's heart sank when he heard this, and the anxiety in his eyes became more obvious. "So what should we do now? We used to be able to rely on fishing and seaweed subsidies, but now those are gone. We can't let everyone starve."

Zhipeng said in a low voice: "For now, we can only rely on the stored materials. I heard that the fish we caught before can only support us for two years at most, but it is definitely not enough to just rely on the stored food.

Let's see if the navy has any solution.

I heard Captain Chen is already trying to find a solution, but the losses this time are so great that it's hard to find a solution anytime soon."

There was silence for a moment inside and outside the room, everyone lowered their heads, with heavy hearts.

The cold wind was still howling on the island, and the ice particles hit the wooden boards with a "dong dong" sound, as if reminding them that the current predicament was far from over.

Zhou Shuwan took Qi Mingyu for a walk around the island and collected a lot of ice.

They came to the beach and were speechless for a long time when they saw the sea.

They stood on the edge of the sea cliff, and as far as they could see was an unimaginable, completely frozen doomsday scene.

Within the visible range of the naked eye, the entire sea was covered with a thick layer of ice. The rolling white waves suddenly formed icebergs due to the sudden drop in temperature. The white color had a blue-green fluorescence.
