My Doomsday Territory

Chapter 29 The Farm

Translator: SumTLMan

“A bumper harvest?”

Chen Haiping was startled.

Could it be that Leader Tang didn’t know how growing crops worked and thought they were easily grown? Even if no consideration was taken over whether the crop would grow or not. The temperature around the shelter would’ve already been freezing by the time the crops are ready to harvest.

However, looking at Tang Yu’s confident appearance, Chen Haiping had the feeling he wasn’t joking around. These days, when the leader shows such an appearance. At that time, was there any problems which couldn’t be solved?

For a moment, Chen Haiping felt a bit dazzled.

“It doesn’t matter. We are in no hurry, let’s head to the place where the crops had once been planted.”

There is a gap between the path connecting the east and west villa area, inside the gap of the two villa areas, there is a valley.

This is the place where the crops were originally planted.

Except for the entrance, the valley is completely surrounded by steep peaks. Crossing over the mountain peak, there is a mountain forest at the rear. But the tall mountain peak makes it no easy feat for any demonized beast which wishes to scale over the mountain and cross to the other side. This hurdle is no easier than scaling the shelter’s vertical city wall.

Therefore, as long as the mouth of the valley is well guarded, then this area will remain a safe place.

No wonder Wang Tai had decided to grow the crops there.

When he looks at the valley, he can see the patches of cultivated farmland and occasionally see some of the crops still growing in the valley.

However, most of the farmland here has been trampled by the demonized beasts, with the ground being littered with messy debris and many footprints scattered around. Even after Chen Haiping did some simple clearing of the area, it was still a mess. Originally there was a lack of sunlight, insufficient soil nutrients, and not enough fertilizer for the crops. So, the growth of the crops wasn’t good overall. But after the demonized beasts trampled over all of these crops, this place was basically abandoned.

“It’s true these crops cannot be saved, but…”

He really does think this was a good place to grow crops. But wasn’t this place too lacking in sunlight, soil fertilizer and had crops with long growth cycles?

None of these is a problem, as long as the place is safe enough. Not only will they have to guard against the demonized beasts, but they also have to guard against other survivors.

One day in the future, when the crops have fully matured. If they are planted in an open or unmanageable area. Tang Yu will be left unable to guarantee whether he can protect the crops if other survivors have misguided thoughts.

He has never underestimated the evil side of human nature.

Then…

Next up…

Tang Yu selects an area, opens up the system panel, and slides to the resource buildings list.

Chen Haiping has been following behind with an anxious expression on his face.

He couldn’t figure out what Leader Tang would come up with.

However, the food crisis can no longer be delayed.

All of a sudden, he saw Tang Yu’s face become serious with his eyes fixed on the messy land in front of them. Then he extended the palms of his hands out in front.

This is…?

Chen Haiping’s mind was stunned as his eyes also firmly fixed on that piece of land.

In the next moment, there was a lot of wood flying in the air–branches that had been damaged and scattered all over the place by the demonized beasts. Countless amounts of sand and gravel also began gathering. Soon, a three-story building appeared in the clearing, similar in shape to a mill!

“This!!”

Although this wasn’t the first time he’s witnessed such a scene, this was different from when the city wall was being built.

The scene of the rising city wall was impressive. But after all, it wasn’t a complex structure. In front of him stood a mill, this windmill carried many complex structures which he simply could not understand.

Chen Haiping looked at Tang Yu’s outstretched hands.

It’s as if…

These hands…

His hands turned into a pair of giant invisible hands and were sculpting a whole building.

And the speed at which this was all happening was super-fast!

This kind of ability is beyond his comprehension.

He could no longer fathom this level of ability at all.

After the formation of the mill, the changes didn’t stop.

This pair of giant invisible hands caressed the ground, smoothed the surface around, and filled in the potholes with the mill acting as the centre. The land was overturned, the bumpy surface was smoothed with ridges and furrows appearing right after. Soon the land changed from a messy area filled with debris into rows of neatly ploughed fields.

Eight mu of land, plus a mill in the centre. This is a scene of a picturesque farm!

This kind of change happened between the snap of a finger.

“The construction of the farm has been completed: Consuming 500 units of source crystal, 150 units of wood and 50 units of stone.”

Wood and stone are all available.

It only takes a mere 500 source crystals to feed hundreds of shelter survivors, which is more than enough.

This is for the long-term development of his territory.

The Great Lord Tang treated this construction as if it was cheap since he was a man with more than 10,000 source crystals. If he had more wastes materials and debris around the whole valley, he would’ve built up two more farms. After waiting until the crops have fully matured, the harvest would’ve been spectacular.

The power of the system is simply too strong.

Chen Haiping’s shock resistance has also increased since he last experienced so many shocking events.

Isn’t this just building a house?

During the doomsday, can it be called strange to see a house being fully built and plonked down?

As a shelter manager, he is now more concerned with the issue of practicality: “Leader, what’s so special about all of this farmland?”

“This farmland soil contains special energy, which can be used to grow crops. It not only makes it easier to plant crops here, but it can also help promote the growth of the crops.”

“The growing speed…” Tang Yu mused for half a moment and said: “Is probably between ten to dozens of times faster than the normal growth rate depending on what crops are planted.”

As a matter of fact, he doesn’t understand this description either. He’s just making up what he says based on the system description of the farm.

The function of the farm is to accelerate the growth of crops. As for the principle behind it. The soil quality, changes, and so on… Anyway, he knew that this soil is no longer ordinary soil. He just knows the crops will mature quickly, which was enough.

Does the rest matter at this point?

Tang Yu continued by saying: “In short, let’s first arrange the survivors to sow the seeds. The fields here are very fertile, which makes this an easy job for survivors who show good job performance.”

Chen Haiping nodded in response.

He was so shocked. If he didn’t have any resistance to what was happening, he wouldn’t have contained himself so well. He believes he would now be screaming out in excitement if this weren’t the case.

It was impossible to accelerate the growth of crops by more than ten to dozens of times before the doomsday. Even now, he still finds it inconceivable.

He’s afraid he wouldn’t believe it if he were told this information by someone else.

Chen Haiping stayed frozen here for a while, knowing that Tang Yu wouldn’t joke about such important matters. He is now estimating how much food this mu of land can bring to the shelter.

Soon he lost count.

Even if the growth rate is only more than ten times, this is more than enough to supply the nearly one hundred survivors at the current shelter. Even if the number of survivors grew to more than ten times, there will still be no problem.

In the future, when the shelter grows larger with more survivors coming in. With such farmland, there will never be a shortage of food.

If one farm isn’t enough. Just add two, three, or even more.

It is no wonder Leader Tang has always been so confident in establishing a shelter.

If Chen Haiping felt there was no hope before today in building up a small-sized shelter. He now knew even if the shelter developed into a medium-sized shelter with tens of thousands of people. This place wasn’t without hope after seeing the raised city walls and the farm.

There are masters here, a city wall and food. In some aspects, this place can already be considered a medium-sized shelter.

The pressing food crisis in his mind was already resolved… Chen Haiping was ready to call over two trusted survivors to begin sowing the seeds.

He suddenly remembered something and frowned as he said: “Leader, now with the increase of shelter survivors, there are also some difficulties in management. Especially when involving foreign awakened ones, this is an unruly and difficult bunch to restrain. In the long run, I am afraid this group will cause problems for our shelter.”
