Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 884: Chapter 631: The Long Cold Season (Part 1)

In this grain storage warehouse, the constant indoor temperature is around 5 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for storing grain.

The interior is also relatively dry.

Near the door is a detector, which records the indoor temperature, humidity, and so on.

Li Yu checked it carefully and found no problems, so he left the room.

Then he went to check other places and found a vent problem in a mixed grain storage warehouse, so he noted it down.

It took him nearly an hour to inspect the entire warehouse, and there were no major issues.

As he came out, Li Yuan and the others were placing some rat poison in various areas and recording it.

Li Yu walked over to Li Yuan and said to her, ”I just checked everything, no major issues, just a broken vent in the mixed grain warehouse, and... later, have Xiao Hang fix it.”

Li Yuan muttered, ”Second Uncle has been researching that zombie generator in the Outer City recently, leaving early and returning late, and his wife couldn’t even find him today.”

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, ”No problem, I’ll talk to him later to balance his time.”

”Okay.”

Li Yu glanced at them and reminded, ”Make sure to recover all this rat poison and don’t miss it, so we don’t forget and make a mistake later.”

”Got it, brother,” Li Yuan nodded and said.

”Alright, you all continue, I’ll head out,” Li Yu said, then walked out of the warehouse.

Once out of the warehouse, the sun was shining bright; if not for the cold weather, it would be quite pleasant outside.

After leaving the warehouse, he headed towards the greenhouse under construction.

The greenhouse construction has the basic framework already one-third complete, and within a week, the entire framework could be finished.

Once the framework is complete, as long as the PC sunshine boards are in place, the construction speed can be really fast.

When Ding Jiu saw Li Yu approaching, he signaled Lao Zhou to continue working while he went over.

”Director Li, we’ve been transporting PC sunshine boards with Xiao Hu these days, but some of them have issues. Due to the natural disaster, some boards are severely damaged and can’t be used. And in our city, only a few places have these PC sunshine boards.

Recently, He Chao and the extra staff, cooperative personnel almost emptied those places, yet it’s still not enough.”

”How can it not be enough?” Li Yu asked somewhat confused.

They have less than a hundred acres combined.

A factory specializing in producing this material should have stock.

Although before Doomsday, many factories started implementing a model where production began only after an order, to reduce inventory backlog.

But there should still be enough PC sunshine boards for dozens of acres.

Ding Jiu said with a bitter face, ”Among the two factories, due to the natural disaster, the workshop collapsed, and all sunshine boards inside were crushed and deformed. The other remaining factory was also severely damaged after Doomsday. The current problem is simply a shortage of PC sunshine boards.”

Li Yu hesitated and asked, ”So do you know where we can find this material nearby?”

”Yes, there’s some in Shishi City nearby. It’s not too far, just at our Southwest Corner, a two and a half hour drive away.”

Li Yu said, ”Two and a half hours is impossible now; the roads outside are bad, and three hours would be good enough.”

Ding Jiu heard Li Yu say this, and was at a loss for words for a moment.

Li Yu finally said, ”No problem, we definitely need as much of this material as possible, and we need to stockpile some, so if any piece is damaged later, we can replace it.

Just focus on assembling the framework; I’ll handle the PC sunshine boards.”

Only then did Ding Jiu breathe a sigh of relief. Using the PC sunshine board was his suggestion; he originally thought there were several companies making this material in the city, but after practice found that usable materials were simply not enough.

And indeed, that was the fact.

As time passed, the impact of the natural disasters meant more and more things outside were either soaked by water and unusable or damaged by extreme weather.

And in the future, these things will continue to decay and age until they are completely unusable.

But Li Yu and the others couldn’t bring everything from outside inside, as they still had important things to do. Finding usable items and relocating them in consumed time and effort.

Therefore, when Li Yu initially planned to expand, he adopted a model involving extra staff and cooperative personnel, using this method to have outsiders collect useful items for the base.

After finishing his chat with Ding Jiu, Li Yu planned to find someone to deal with this matter.

Actually, most of the time, the supplies collected by the extra staff and cooperative personnel are found within the city and won’t be too far away.

In this city, they are at least aware of the situation here, but going outside the city is far more dangerous.

But obviously, Zhu Xiao is not like that. He usually doesn’t search within the city but goes outside to look.

With fierce combat power, even when encountering other survivor teams outside the city, he doesn’t flinch at all.

Although going farther would be more dangerous, it also offers greater rewards.

Li Yu mulled over this matter on his way to the wall.

Many extra staff or cooperative personnel, after all, are not strong. Key is, their transport capabilities compared to the people from Big Camphor Tree Base are significantly lower.

The best way might be to issue this task, having extra staff or cooperative personnel search and transport from outside the city.

But there are not many people going outside the city, and their transport ability is not good enough.

The most crucial thing is, seeing the greenhouse framework about to be completed, once it’s finished, they can install the PC sunshine boards.

There is incredibly tight time pressure.

It’s getting colder every day.

In a month, it will be like last year again, entering a long-term cold winter.

Without a finished greenhouse, the land would be wasted, unable to grow food, and there would be significant pressure on food supply.

It must be completed as soon as possible.

Li Yu made up his mind that the base personnel must search and procure the PC sunshine boards.

Having made up his mind, Li Yu headed to the guardroom on the wall, and upon stepping into it, he saw Second Uncle and Uncle chatting.

”Xiao Yu is here,” Uncle said.

”Uncle, Second Uncle, Uncle Zhou and Old Lv went out this morning, didn’t they?” Li Yu asked.

Uncle said, ”Yes, they went out in the morning. The food processing we talked about yesterday is in the factory in Xin City, and he hasn’t been out for a long time, so he took people out himself. With Old Lv around, there should be no problem.”

Li Yu nodded slightly and said, ”The greenhouse has encountered some issues, we’re short of PC sunshine boards and must gather them from farther away.”

Uncle immediately said, ”Didn’t Ding Jiu say earlier that there are several stores in our city? We’re not covering much area, how could it not be enough?”

He couldn’t understand why a company specializing in this material wasn’t enough either.

Li Yu initially thought so, too, but Ding Jiu’s explanation was understandable.

Second Uncle explained, ”I’ve talked with Ding Jiu about this issue before, but I didn’t expect such a shortage. When Xiao Hu transported the PC sunshine boards over, I checked them, and some were damaged, so the damaged ones weren’t counted for points exchange.

But Xiao Hu also complained to me that although those places had a lot of PC sunshine boards, many were damaged. They already selected the better ones to transport over.

The ones not transported were even more severely damaged.”

Li Yu pondered and said, ”We must seize the time to build the greenhouse within a month. Otherwise, we will have no way to resume normal planting later.”

Second Uncle nodded and said, ”Then we need to find some new plants with this material.”

Li Yu said, ”Ding Jiu mentioned there are several places in Shishi City, and it’s not too far. I figure, let’s just make a trip to fetch it all, saving trouble.”
