Chapter 337:
In one day, except for a short delay when meeting Joanna's group of survivors, the rest of the time was spent on several large libraries.
By the time they returned to the base again, it was almost evening, and the new survivors had been placed. Lu Jiayi turned around and called Aji and Dekman to his office.
"What's going on at the new base?"
No politeness, Lu Jiayi asked straight to the point. Since he planned to search for survivors in large numbers in the near future, Lu Jiayi decided to renovate the military base he found earlier, so that a large number of survivors can be placed there first.
This has several advantages. The first is that the location of the ideal town will not be exposed, in case some of these people have bad intentions and cause any trouble, and the second is that they can reclaim a part of the farmland there to solve the next Population and food pressures from expansion.
And these two people will stay at the new base during the day, and come back to rest at night. After tossing for so long, Lu Jiayi also wanted to know the progress, so he called the two of them.
"It's ready for people to live in, and the power system is still being arranged. After all, the number of people is limited, but it's coming soon. It is estimated that it will not exceed a week at most. The water and electricity system over there is originally independent. The power system is cumbersome, with a lot of unneeded equipment being cut off.”
"Well, that's good. Remember to keep the room clean. Although it is a sub-base, it is also the first place newcomers come into contact with, which is equivalent to our facade."
"I understand, don't worry."
Nodding with satisfaction, he motioned for him to go back to rest first, and then he turned to look at Aji again. The logistics supervisor looked thinner than at the beginning of the end of the world, but his spirit was more than half a star stronger than before.
"Thanks a lot."
Looking at the person who was full of energy, Lu Jiayi first thanked him, the latter was stunned, then laughed and waved his hand.
"It's alright, now there is almost no need to take risks. At most, there are more things to be responsible for."
"You guy, you usually eat more. Speaking of which, the food in the base is not bad, how come you have lost weight?"
When Aji heard the words, he looked down at his stomach, reached out and patted it. The moment he lifted it up, Lu Jiayi saw the scar left by the gunshot wound on his abdomen, and couldn't help but recalled when he was lying on the back of his stomach. Shelly's home. .
"Haha, with my small physique, I can't eat much."
"Then I don't care. In short, you have to ensure your own health. Usually, one more bite is one bite."
After speaking, he patted the table in front of him and motioned Aggie to sit down.
"Put out your hand."
Aji stretched out his hand obediently and stared at Lu Jiayi's hand curiously. On weekdays, he would occasionally see him treating patients. Most of the time, he was familiar with Western medicine methods. This kind of wrist touching is rarely seen. arrive.
"What can you feel by touching your wrist like this?"
Lu Jiayi closed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned when he heard that, and explained slowly.
"This is a unique medical technique in our country of Yan. We can judge the physical health of the patient by observing the patient's external characteristics, smell, and pulse, so that the patient can be conditioned in a targeted manner."
"So amazing? So what's wrong with me?"
Released his hand, Lu Jiayi smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay, your body is very healthy. As for why you lost weight, it should be caused by fatigue. You should pay more attention to rest in the future. I will give you some medicine to help you sleep, and you will be fine."
After speaking, he got up and walked to the two rows of medicine cabinets in the corner of the office, skillfully grabbed a few pairs of Chinese medicine, packed them and put them in front of the other party.
"It's good to take these medicines on time, twice a day, and drink them for a week first."
Aggie sniffed, he smelled a strong smell emanating from the paper bags, and was a little curious about the smell of these things.
"Okay, let's talk about business. How are the supplies at the new base?"
"Now food, medicine, and all kinds of daily necessities are ready. The new base can accommodate at least more than 500 people in the short term, but the crops there must be planted as soon as possible. Herschel will pass by in the next few days. It will be arranged."
Lu Jiayi nodded as he listened. Since the establishment of the base government, he has indeed become a lot more relaxed. Each department performs its own duties. In addition, these people all have a group of people under their control. I believe it will not be used too much. It takes a long time to bring out a group of skilled managers.
"But the fighters over there haven't arranged it yet."
"I'll arrange this."
"Okay, then I'll go first if I have nothing to do."
……
Not long after Aji left, Lu Jiayi was still looking at the map in front of his desk, calculating the approximate search direction for tomorrow, but he heard a knock on the door. He was still wondering who would come over at night, and there was a sound outside the door. Herschel's old voice.
As soon as he heard the other party's voice, Lu Jiayi wanted to open the door and let the old man in, but he didn't expect another old man standing at the door.
"Mr Heather?"
This old man is Joanna's father, the old man with a stubborn temper, but now the other party no longer has the hostile gaze that he had when he first met him. After a day of contact, the old man has seen the current situation of Ideal Town. , his attitude has long since turned 180 degrees.
Looking at the old man who had become a little unnatural, Lu Jiayi stepped aside to open the door and extended his hand to invite the two of them in.
This old man is not a character in the original play, but Lu Jiayi did not have a bad impression of him because of the hostility of the other party when they first met.
The actual situation was just the opposite. He felt that the old man, like Herschel, was a respectable old man, otherwise the dozens of survivors in the sewer would not have been so convinced of the old man.
The two old men walked into the house back and forth, and only then did Lu Jiayi see Joanna behind them.
"Mr. Lu, I came with my father."
"Well, please sit down."
After the two sides were seated, Heather still behaved a little unnaturally, as if feeling a little embarrassed by her previous performance. Seeing this, Herschel, who was beside him, felt like a mirror, smiled and said actively.
"Lu, you brought back two great characters."
Lu Jiayi raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the father and daughter again, but Heschel continued to introduce.
"This is Heather Adolf, a professor of botany, and this is his daughter, Joanna, a doctor of animal husbandry, all of whom have greatly helped our base."
Lu Jiayi was naturally very happy when he heard that there were such two great gods among the people they met casually, and he quickly reached out to shake hands with the two of them.
On the contrary, Heather seemed a little unaccustomed to his enthusiastic attitude, and his smile seemed a little embarrassing, but he still reached out and shook hands with him.
"It's great, the two of you came too timely. We are just about to expand the planting area here, and there are more and more cattle and sheep in the barn. Sometimes due to lack of formal management, many cubs will be lost. I Although I have some understanding of these aspects, I don't have the energy to estimate so many things, there are too many things in the base."
Compared to Heather's character, his daughter is much better. Today's Joanna is no longer the embarrassed look she used to be in the sewers. After some grooming, she has that intellectual sense. Couldn't hide it any longer.
I saw her sitting in a ladylike posture, with her hands folded in front of her knees, and said in a slow tone.
"Mr. Lu, my father and I have listened to Mr. Herschel's detailed introduction about the ideal town. First of all, please accept my sincere thanks."
After she finished speaking, she slowly got up, just a standard bow, this bow was mindless, but he still stretched out his hand to support the other party.
After being seated again, Lu Jiayi asked.
"What are you doing?"
Joanna explained with a hint of admiration on her face.
"There is one thing that I have to ask for your forgiveness. I actually gambled more yesterday. I really just feel that you are not bad people, and there is really no hope in that place. That's why I joined you despite my father's opposition."
Lu Jiayi smiled and indicated that it was okay, and continued to quietly wait for the other party's next words.
The apology on Joanna's face gradually turned into a memory, and she continued after a while.
"After coming here yesterday, we have seen a lot and heard a lot. The construction here, sir, is unbelievable. When I saw the herds of livestock and farmland, my heart finally calmed down. All kinds of things have also subverted my worldview since the end of the last two years~www.NovelMTL.com~ Who would have thought that the same or, life here is so full of hope."
"These are not the reasons why I am so grateful to you."
"Oh?"
I saw an excited look on Joanna's face, and said with a stronger tone.
"The most important thing is that Mr. has saved a group of laboratory workers. I met with Ms. Jenner yesterday, and you have developed a vaccine so early, which really surprised me, although it is not completely immune. Viruses, but only relying on the role of vaccines today has made us no longer have the threat of corpse transformation, we can continue to reproduce, and our human civilization once again has the hope of passing on."
"I really want to thank you, Mr. Lu."
Speaking of this, Joanna stood up and bowed again, and Heather, who was silent on the side, finally moved. He reached out and held Lu Jiayi's hand, wiggling it vigorously, his lips twitching, as if he wanted to Said something, but after half a day, he couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Let me leave the agricultural work in the base to me."
After holding it for a long time, he still didn't say any words of thanks, but it was not difficult to see the gratitude of the other party from the expression and eyes of the old man.
Herschel, who was beside him, watched this scene with a smile on his face. He was really happy for Lu Jiayi, and he was also happy for the base to become stronger.
After sending a few people away, Lu Jiayi returned to the bedroom. After taking a shower, he lay on the bed, but his mind was unusually awake. Looking at the dark roof, he couldn't help but start to recall what he had experienced since he came here.
