After all, there was a limited amount of fuel, and many households simply couldn’t start a fire, making food a problem. With Bai Zhengli’s reform, the situation in the base gradually improved. Not only factories, schools, hospitals, research institutes, and breeding farms entered the right track, but agriculture also gradually developed and yielded a large amount of food.
As late autumn approached and the weather grew colder, the number of zombies and mutant beasts outside began to decrease, and no one knew where they had hidden. Without their threats, the people in the base no longer had to go out daily for tasks and could finally take a break.
Long Province was colder than other places; as soon as late autumn arrived, it began to snow. Large greenhouses were built on the farms, and with the enhancement of Wood Element Superpower Users, the crops inside didn’t have to worry too much, and the animals in the breeding farms were mostly doing well.
After fall, Hope Team along with other powers within the base cleaned up the nearby urban areas of the base, thus expanding its territory. Not only could everyone live more comfortably, but they also found a large amount of thick cotton quilts and cotton-padded jackets to distribute. The base seemed to be getting better and better, almost becoming a utopia in the apocalypse.
However, not all bases were as lucky as Hope Base. There were six small bases near Hope Base; except for Peace Base, which had sworn allegiance early and mixed with Hope Base, the remaining five bases, harboring doubts, always refused to bow to Hope Base.
Although Bai Zhengli knew that these small bases were not in ideal situations, he had no intention of pleading to help them and thus kept his forces inactive. Even with the support of Hope Base, Peace Base had gradually developed, yet they remained stubborn and refused to yield.
Fortunately, after fall the temperature began to drop, and the activities of zombies and mutant beasts weren’t as frequent, allowing these small bases to barely survive without being breached by zombies or mutant beasts.
These bases didn’t have to worry about food, and though their situation was quite worse compared to Hope Base and Peace Base, it was still slightly better than many other bases. freёwebnovel.com
Some bases were even about to run out of food, and under the threat of food shortages, many people had no choice but to leave their bases and migrate elsewhere.
The Market Base where Fang Yuxin and her group had stayed was also in an unfavorable situation. Market City was an economically developed city with a high population density. Thus, after the apocalypse, there were many zombies and survivors, but few places to live.
When Fang Yuxin and her group left, the situation in Market Base wasn’t at its worst. At that time, there were still quite a few reserves of food and other living supplies, and there was no need to worry about drinking water, which was entirely provided by Water Ability Superpower Users.
However, as days passed, even with the large amount of food for several hundred thousand people in Market Base, it wasn’t enough.
In a decent conference room, three generals of the base, along with other influential and powerful leaders of various factions, were all present. However, everyone’s face looked grim.
