The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

Early the next morning, after everyone woke up and packed up, they directly drove off-road vehicles and set off.

Knowing that there was no danger in the town, they drove directly through the town. As they passed through the town, the survivors in the town naturally noticed them.

However, the two parties only waved their hands in the air and expressed friendship, but other than that, there was no more contact.

After leaving the town, Ada Wang drove along the interstate highway. Not far away, she saw a farmland full of crops and several survivors busy in the field.

Apparently, this is another settlement of survivors, and they are also the ones who give food to the survivors in the town.

The survivors here obviously noticed Chen Mo and his group, but out of vigilance and safety considerations, they just said hello to Chen Mo and others through the very strong and tight fence they built, and had a brief conversation. sentence.

After Chen Mo asked them some basic information and told them about the settlement of survivors in Los Angeles, he continued on the road without having too much contact with them.

Naturally, these survivors, like the survivors in the town, are not too interested in leaving their homes.

Of course, they still recorded this information and said that if they had the chance, they would go to Los Angeles to see the settlement that Chen Mo mentioned.

However, although they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, after bidding farewell to these survivors, Chen Mo suddenly shook his head and sighed. King Ada on the other side couldn't help but wonder, "Boss, why are you shaking your head? Do you think they will not go to the settlement to be disappointed?" This is not like you."

"No, I just lamented that they can't hold on much longer." Chen Mo shook his head again and asked King Ada, "Ada, did you just notice the crops they cultivated? What do you think of the condition of those crops?"

King Ada was stunned for a moment, not expecting Chen Mo to ask this question.

But she thought about it carefully, and then glanced at the farm that was still out of sight in the rearview mirror. Of course, with her eyesight, she could clearly see that the crops were wilted, and the leaves were withered and yellow, and the plants were short. Not only is it stunted, it's like it hasn't been watered for a long time.

"Their crops don't seem to be very good, but there are not many of them, so they should be enough to eat." King Ada didn't quite understand this, but looked at the large farmland in the rearview mirror, and then thought about the small town and the The number of survivors I saw on the farm just now, I think this should be enough to meet their needs.

However, Chen Mo sneered and explained to her, "Ada, you should remember that I told you when we left this world, this world is gradually dying."

"Remember, boss, you said that because the T-virus infects animals and plants, the world's desertification will become more and more serious. Although a new ecological system will be formed, as long as the Umbrella Company releases the antidote for the T-virus, life in the entire world will Being exterminated, only a very small number of lives can survive." Of course, King Ada remembered what Chen Mo told her at the beginning, and it was precisely because of this that she chose to follow Chen Mo to leave this world.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied that King Ada still remembered these things. "That's right. Because of the raging T-virus, the land will become more and more barren, and the output of crops will become lower and lower. In addition, the United States Due to some of the shortcomings of agriculture, they will soon fall into a very bad situation and cannot sustain it.”

When talking to the survivors just now, Chen Mo noticed that the crops they cultivated were in very poor condition.

If everything goes well and these crops can last until harvest, then the need to maintain these survivors is not a big problem.

But looking at the state of those crops, I'm afraid it won't be easy to maintain them until harvest time.

Although the United States is a major agricultural country and Arizona is also a major agricultural state in the United States, this does not mean that its agricultural situation is very good.

In fact, the high agricultural output in the United States is based on the use of high-yielding seeds and large amounts of chemical fertilizers.

Once the high-yielding crop seeds and chemical fertilizers without the ability to reproduce are removed, the output of American agriculture will instantly drop to an unimaginable level.

However, the T-virus has been raging for so many years, and these survivors are still able to maintain a certain scale of agricultural cultivation. Obviously, these two problems have not had a great impact on them.

This is not surprising. Modern agriculture relies heavily on high-yield seeds and chemical fertilizers, but humans did not start farming after the invention of high-yield seeds and chemical fertilizers.

Returning to the traditional agricultural farming model, although the yield will indeed be much lower, it will still be able to meet their survival needs when the number of survivors is not large.

The real problem these survivors have to face is that as the T-virus rages, the land becomes increasingly barren, the crops grown are affected, and the yield becomes lower and lower.

and the more important issue of irrigation.

This is Arizona in the southwest of the United States. Not only does it have an arid climate with little rain, it also suffers from a serious lack of other water resources.

Although the Colorado River flows through here, if you think about the fact that the United States did not let a drop of water from the Colorado River flow into Mexico for 30 years, you will know how big their demand for water resources is.

Although there was no in-depth investigation, Chen Mo could tell from just a glance when passing by that those crops had not received enough irrigation.

This is undoubtedly fatal for agricultural cultivation.

Before the outbreak of the biochemical crisis, Arizona could still rely on water conservancy facilities built on the Colorado River to pump water from the river to supply the state's agriculture. But now that the T-virus has been raging for so many years, those water conservancy facilities may have long been useless. .

This is why Chen Mo chose California next door, because California is close to the sea and has a far better climate and water resources than Arizona.

After listening to Chen Mo's explanation, Ada Wang understood. She couldn't help but ask Chen Mo, "Then boss, why don't you explain this situation to them and convince them to follow us to California?"

King Ada didn't quite understand that if these survivors really faced difficulties, Chen Mo could convince them to follow him to build a new settlement in California.

"Do you think they don't know this?" Chen Mo smiled at King Ada. He glanced at the farm that gradually disappeared from sight through the rearview mirror, shook his head and said, "Humans are very stubborn creatures. In the end, when there is really nothing they can do, they won’t realize what their problem is.”
