Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 884

Chapter 884: Chapter 458: Dilemma (Part 2)

Fang Yuxin nodded to show her understanding and couldn’t help but glance at Yi Ting, who was diligently releasing mist. Seeing this, she decided not to disturb her and silently followed Qian Sen and Li Qingyun to another experimental field.

Qian Sen and Li Qingyun had no choice but to ask Fang Yuxin for help this time. They had conducted countless experiments, but unfortunately, none were successful. If it wasn’t a problem here, it would be an issue there—nothing ever seemed right.

Although the Base had harvested a considerable amount of food recently, compared to its consumption, these harvests were insignificant. If it weren’t for the Base’s food storage, a food crisis would have already occurred!

This matter not only made Qian Sen and Li Qingyun anxious, but Qu Qianhe, who was in charge of the Base’s logistics, was equally worried. After assessing the Base’s food reserves and comparing them with the consumption, she realized that if things continued like this, the Base wouldn’t last long before facing a food crisis.

However, Qu Qianhe knew that Fang Yuxin had a considerable stockpile of food, so she wasn’t as anxious as Qian Sen and Li Qingyun. Even though they found Fang Yuxin, they weren’t sure how she could help.

Qian Sen had only a vague idea and was unsure if it would succeed. After bringing Fang Yuxin to the designated experimental field, he pointed to the lush rice paddies in front of them and said to Fang Yuxin, "These are one type of mutated rice with extremely strong Life Force. They grow vigorously and have a very short growth cycle. Unfortunately, their yield is quite low, only five to six hundred pounds per acre, even less than ordinary rice."

At this point, he couldn’t help but sigh. Before the apocalypse, the average yield of ordinary rice was around two thousand pounds per acre. After the apocalypse, ordinary rice, affected by the Zombie Virus, appeared sickly, and their yield drastically dropped. Even so, the average yield per acre was about seven to eight hundred pounds.

Despite the mutated rice having a visibly stronger Life Force than ordinary rice, it ironically only grew stems and leaves without producing seeds. Their yield was even lower than the sickly ordinary rice! Not only rice but many other crops were facing the same issue. If things continued like this, the Base would inevitably face a food crisis!
