The prince of heaven only wants salted fish
Chapter 159: The Weak Scientist of the End of the World (6)
He Jiankang and the other two: "..."
Their faces turned green visibly.
He Jiankang chuckled twice: "Brother, your request is indeed a bit embarrassing."
If you can recognize plants, know how to farm, and also know how to raise pigs, then do you also need to know how to raise chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, fish, and geese? Why are you looking for college students? Just build a farm yourself!
Ji Cheng smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Just a joke, relax."
He Jiankang and the other two: "..."
This is the coldest joke they have ever heard in their lives.
Ji Cheng said: "You want to eat, right? Sure, join our team, and these foods can also be distributed to you."
Finally talking about what they want, not to mention He Jiankang, even the other two people's eyes lit up.
They have been in fear since the outbreak of the apocalypse. All the food was eaten the day before. The torture brought by hunger is really unimaginable for ordinary people, otherwise they would not run out to steal. Now they are caught by Ji Cheng, and the other party not only did not throw them out, but on the contrary, he threw out such tempting conditions. How could He Jiankang and the others not be tempted?
You know, the team of "Brother Yuan" who met them earlier refused them to join.
"——But the task of reclaiming land and farming will be handed over to you in the future."
The light in the eyes of He Jiankang and the other two paused for a moment.
What? ?
One of the girls said in confusion: "Reclaim land? Where?"
It can't be done at a gas station? What if oil is dug out with this hoe?
Ji Cheng said: "I will find a place for you when the time comes."
He Jiankang also hurriedly said: "Farming is not just a matter of place! There are no machines or tools... and what about seeds? Where can I get seeds?"
Ji Cheng said leisurely: "Doesn't it depend on you?"
He Jiankang: "..."
He suddenly realized how careless he was when he said "I don't know but I can work hard to learn" just now.
Seeing that the three of them were all in a dilemma, Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you think it's difficult?"
He sighed: "If that's the case, then-"
Fearing that Ji Cheng would say something like "Then let's throw you out to feed the zombies", He Jiankang made a prompt decision: "It's not difficult! We can do it!"
He felt his tears swallowing as he answered: "Isn't it just reclaiming wasteland and farming? We are professionals!!"
Even if we can't do it now, we might be able to do it after some research...
Ji Cheng turned his eyes to the other two.
The temptation of food and safety was there, and He Jiankang had already agreed first, so the two of them slowly nodded.
Ji Cheng curled his lips: "Then it's a deal."
He Jiankang and the other two also nodded: "It's a deal!"
Seeing Ji Cheng nod to accept the three people, a researcher quickly handed them food and water: "Eat."
Seeing the food and water, He Jiankang's eyes almost turned green, and they immediately tore open the package and ate and drank.
Ji Cheng also threw a rag on He Jiankang's head: "Remember to wash it later."
He Jiankang: "?"
"The thing I just stuffed in your mouth."
He Jiankang: "?!"
——
He agreed to accept He Jiankang and the other two, but in fact Ji Cheng still observed them for two days. After all, you can't tell what a person is like just by looking at their face. You have to see how they act. Especially now is a special period. If there is anything wrong with these three people, even if they really need their knowledge, Ji Cheng will never accept them as partners.
But in general, the observation results are not bad: He Jiankang is the most courageous among the three people, and he is also a man of action. His hands are faster than his brains. Even if he has any thoughts, it is difficult to hide them; the girl among the three is named Lin Chu. She doesn't talk much, but she is not a piece of wood that will only move when poked. After being accepted, she often takes the initiative to help everyone clean up; the remaining person is called Hou Xuan. He is the least courageous among the three people and has many concerns, but because of this, he can often hold back the impulsive He Jiankang.
In short, the three people have their own strengths and weaknesses, but when they are combined together, they are indeed a group that can act. They may have some small ideas, but they all know the general situation. At least they are not worried about stabbing the team in the back. In fact, after observing for the past two days, Ji Cheng is sure that even if these three people want to stab the team, they can't turn over the palm of his hand.
In this way, their team has become stronger.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing in the end times: the good thing is that collective action has great strength in numbers, and of course it is safer. The bad thing is that more people mean more mouths to feed, not to mention that there are three more mouths to feed now.
Although the warehouse where Ji Cheng and his friends are temporarily staying has sufficient cargo reserves, it was built only to supply a small gas station store. No matter how sufficient it is, the volume itself is there, and everyone has not been stingy with food and drink during the time they live in the warehouse. The researcher who is responsible for managing supplies made a quick calculation and found that they have not much food in stock.
Counting from the time He Jiankang and his friends joined, the remaining food may be enough for them to eat and drink for a week.
Of course, strictly speaking, this issue has little to do with the joining of He Jiankang and the others - because even without the three of He Jiankang and the others, the original number of researchers would only last two or three days longer. But after all, this is a crisis that will affect everyone's survival, so after knowing this, He Jiankang and the other two people still became nervous.
In the past, famine-stricken people in ancient times would exchange their children for food. Jiang Cheng, who was only three or four years older than them, wouldn't choose to abandon some of his team members to save the rest, right?
Just three days before the food was about to be exhausted, Jicheng finally asked everyone to pack up their belongings and move all the useful supplies to the car. They were about to set off for their next destination——
Qingshan Food Processing Factory.
Qingshan Food Processing Factory is located on the outskirts of City S, in the same direction as the gas station where Jicheng and the others were, but further away from the city.
The processing plant is backed by a hill, and a river passes by one or two kilometers away. The ecological environment is good. Although the factory covers a large area and has many industrial lines, because One Two Two World has already achieved highly mechanized production, even the operating instructions are When ordered by humans, the number of employees required is far less than the number of machines. Qingshan Processing Factory does not employ many workers, and it is located in a remote area. There are usually no other people there except workers and a few family members.
But at this time, Qingshan Processing Factory has almost become a natural shelter: fewer people means there are fewer zombies, and its remote location means that even if you want to take refuge, you are unlikely to think of going there. The food processing factory, You can probably find a lot of food ingredients.
In addition, there are mountains and rivers, and the ecological environment is good, which is equivalent to finding a natural wasteland for He Jiankang and the others.
And when Jicheng circled the Qingshan Processing Plant on the map, everyone felt his foresight.
Among them, Yang Zhe was the worst: "So Professor Jiang, when you were looking at the map in the car -"
Jicheng's expression was understated, but he tried his best to show off: "Absolutely."
The faces of other researchers were filled with shock, shock and admiration.
Only He Jianjian and the other three were very nervous: Did you mean to find a place for them to farm right away? ? ?
What is the difference between telling students that there will be test results a while ago and then taking the test immediately the next day? !
During the sweeps near the gas station more than a week ago, Jicheng and the others were lucky enough to get another car: this time, they killed a zombie first, found the car key from the zombie, and then followed the clues to find the regular car. Arrange cars parked on the side of the road.
There were thirteen people in three cars. Although it was a little crowded, no one would find fault in special times. According to the route map planned by Jicheng in advance, they found the location of Qingshan Food Processing Factory in two hours.
Qingshan is a relatively large food brand in the world, and its factories naturally occupy a large area. Even if it is just a branch in the suburbs of S City, looking at it from a distance, it may be more appropriate to call it a "factory cluster."
Normally, this kind of place would have machines roaring all day long, but now the entire factory was eerily quiet - considering the reason for the zombie outbreak, it was quite appropriate at this time.
The gate of the processing plant showed signs of being vandalized. It was unclear whether zombies rushed out of it or whether a human team had entered. After all, this is a food processing factory. Even if there are not many survivors who want it and have the ability to come, it has been nearly a month since the apocalypse broke out. The combined population of S City and nearby cities exceeds 10 million, and a human team has visited it. The Qingshan processing plant is not surprising either.
Ji Cheng and the others did not enter through the main entrance, but chose the side of the processing plant near the hill. Yu Ji Cheng pried open the lock of the side door, and then entered the factory.
Seeing Jicheng's skillful posture when picking the lock, and thinking of the researchers who usually respectfully call him "Professor Jiang," He Jianjian and the other three couldn't help but take a breath: They must have fallen into some gang by mistake. Bar?
Could it be that "professor" is similar to "godfather", a new type of slang in the street?
Open the side door, and you will see a processing workshop: large machines are arranged neatly, and the intervals between them are precisely fixed. However, the conveyor belt has stopped, and there is nothing being processed on it - probably the apocalypse was caught off guard, and no one had time to turn off these machines, but no one came to transport and add new raw materials, so these machines kept running automatically. Until the power goes out.
There was no machine running, and the entire processing workshop was very quiet. Even the team members who came in with Jicheng subconsciously held their breath.
As soon as Jicheng walked in, he roughly scanned the workshop with his mental power to confirm that there were no zombies or humans in the workshop.
It can be said to be the best start he imagined.
However, after discovering this, Jicheng did not directly explain it. Instead, he let the others carefully explore inch by inch until they found the entrance from the workshop to the inside.

"Professor Jiang," a researcher named Li Hang pointed to the direction opposite to the side door, "we have found the entrance door of the workshop. It is not locked and can be opened directly."
In the past, such "thrilling" activities like opening doors were all done by Yuji Cheng. Seeing that he didn't make any move after hearing this, Li Hang subconsciously asked: "...Professor Jiang?"
Jicheng stood aside holding a stick and raised his chin: "You go ahead."
Li Hang: “?”
Ji Cheng said with a serious expression: “Independent exploration is also an important survival ability. You have completed the previous training tasks very well. Now, it is time for you to advance to the next stage.”
He raised his stick and pointed in the direction of the door: “Go!”
After a pause, Ji Cheng also smiled and added a suggestion: “If you don’t know who will come first, you can decide the order by playing rock-paper-scissors.”
Researchers: “…”
Looked at each other.
He Jiankang and the other two: “?!”
Sure enough! They have begun to be cruel to their own people!
But they underestimated the researchers’ trust in Ji Cheng. After a while, the researchers spontaneously divided into three teams, each with three people. Then the first team member stepped forward, one stood in front of the door, first lying on the door and listening to the movement over there for a while, then turned his head and nodded to his companions with a nervous expression.
So the other two quickly picked up their weapons and stood guard on the side of the door against the wall.
Then the researcher in front of the door carefully grasped the door handle, pressed down, and pulled it open.
The two researchers guarding the side where the door would open also clenched their weapons. If I had to describe it, their movements were quite like batters in a baseball game - although no audience at a baseball game would be as quiet as the people present now.
When the gap in the door was open enough for two people to barely pass through, a low roar was heard, and the next second a zombie in employee uniform jumped out of the door. It was extremely fast, and ordinary people would definitely be bitten if they were not prepared, but the two researchers guarding the door were well prepared. As soon as the zombie jumped out, one of them immediately swung a stick!
Hit and score, no, it was to knock the zombie to the ground directly.
After all, the researchers have been training with Ji Cheng for almost half a month, and both their physical fitness and fighting skills have improved a lot. Even if the zombie's head is not smashed, they still have the ability to move, but this long-awaited stick is enough to make the zombie dazed on the ground for a while and unable to get up.
Seeing this opportunity, another researcher who had not attacked immediately rushed up and hit the zombie's head with a stick several times.
Of course, when he rushed up, the first researcher who attacked did not dare to relax: Who knows if there is only one zombie or several zombies in there? What if another zombie rushes out as soon as they relax their vigilance?
However, their luck seems to be good. Until this zombie was completely solved, no second zombie rushed out.
So the exploration team that had been discussed before completely opened the door after waiting for a while. After a preliminary visual judgment that there was no danger, they walked in carefully. The three of them maintained a back-to-back posture to prevent unexpected raids.
Soon the exploration trio returned and told others that there should be an operation room inside. The zombie they just killed should be the operator of the machine in this entire workshop. It was probably infected with the zombie virus at the beginning of the doomsday, but because the door of the operation room was usually closed, it was not released until just now.
In addition to the keys and some miscellaneous tools, the three also found an employee manual and an escape route map in the operation room. The original employee who had it could no longer use it, but it was very helpful for them to understand the layout of the entire processing plant.
As they had seen from the outside before, the entire processing plant was more like a group of factories than a processing plant: there were several production workshops for different types of food, almost forming a circle, and the middle of the production workshop could be roughly divided into two parts, one was the warehouse, which stored finished products and raw materials, and the other was the living area for workers and their families.
Ji Cheng and his team were now in the processing workshop area of a non-staple food production line. From here, there would be a relatively long corridor, most of which connected the production workshop and the operation room, and the remaining rooms were toilets, dressing rooms and disinfection rooms.
Both sides of the corridor connected other areas of the processing plant. One side extended to the main entrance of the factory, mainly passing through several other processing lines and finished product warehouses, and the other side went inside the factory, and finally reached the raw material warehouse and employee living area.
Everyone gathered together and took turns reading the manual and escape route map. He Jiankang couldn't help but sigh: "How can we walk through this area in one day?"
"It doesn't need to be done in one day," Ji Cheng said slowly, "The Qingshan Processing Plant is very large, we only need to occupy a small piece of it first."
He stretched out his hand and drew a line on the escape route map: "Today, let's clear out our necessary living area first, is that okay?"
After the battle just now, the researchers were more confident: "No problem!"
With morale up, many things became much easier.
The researchers originally felt that their combat effectiveness was not good, and the unknown of zombies and the alarming infection rate made them quite scared, so that they didn't dare to fight against this kind of creature that should only exist in horror movies. However, the previous actual combat training, plus the previous confrontation, they finally realized: these zombies don't seem to be as scary as they imagined.
Without any special powers, nor speed and strength that exceed the upper limit of human functions, except for the tenacious vitality that can compete with cockroaches, the intelligence of zombies is not as good as that of ordinary humans! There are many of them, and they know how to work together. Now their physical strength has gradually caught up. As long as they are careful, it is not as difficult as they thought to kill these zombies.
It is not as troublesome as a topic that has been difficult to crack in the research institute.
So after a whole day, everyone cleaned up half of the workshop in the corridor at a faster speed than expected. They collected a small amount of usable materials, but they could also provide everyone with a meal. The three non-workshop areas were also cleaned out, and surprisingly, there was a shower room in the disinfection room.
Although there would be no hot water supply, the weather was not cold now, and everyone took a comfortable bath.
Moreover, the production workshop of the processing plant is much larger than the warehouse of the gas station, so everyone does not have to sleep in a crowded place like before. They can pull up the curtain and make a small single room with clothes in the locker room.
The next day, everyone cleaned up the entire corridor and sorted the materials they found into the workshop where they first came in. Then everyone had a brief discussion and basically determined the next action: explore the entire processing plant little by little in the direction leading to the raw material warehouse.
The reason for deciding to explore the raw material warehouse is that, in addition to edible things, raw materials may also contain seeds and other things. In addition, such a large processing plant may also have an ice storage to store perishable foods, all of which are what Ji Cheng and his team need. Second, there are traces of human damage at the gate of the processing plant, which is close to the finished product warehouse. If it is really a human team that has come in, Ji Cheng and his team will probably only get scraps after all the trouble to rush over.
Of course, in addition to this, Ji Cheng also decided to let all researchers learn agricultural knowledge from He Jiankang and his team, and find ways to develop the resources in the back mountain - after all, it is hard to say how long the doomsday will last, and it is not a solution to keep eating up the mountain. Now the operation of human society is basically paralyzed. If you don’t prepare for a rainy day when you have spare energy now, it’s really hard to say what will happen in the future.
So, caught off guard, "Teacher He" was forced to take up his post.
At first, surrounded by a circle of researchers, He Jiankang was somewhat complacent: after being a grandson, no, a student for many years, it was finally his turn to become a grandfather, no, a teacher!
He did not really understand the promotion of mechanized planting and manual farming, but couldn't he explain the theory to a group of people who may not have even attended junior high school?
However, He Jiankang soon discovered that his group of "students" seemed to know a little too much...
