The End of the Second Day in the Wasteland

[Large Vegetable Culture Medium (Excellent)]

Area: 35 square meters (square meter water requirement 50ml/sqm/day)
Description: Slightly accelerates vegetable growth, automatically pollinates, and the grade of vegetables grown will not be lower than the culture medium's grade.
Special Ability: Light Gathering Sensor (as long as part of the culture medium's soil receives light, the effect can be transferred to all vegetables)

Evaluation: Master, look, there's a culture medium here. Xiao Min will go pick vegetables from the culture medium for you to eat.

Seeing the culture medium's attributes, Su Mo smiled. No wonder Fengzi Ge wasn't confident in continuing to raise the price.

He probably didn't even think that the 1750ml of water required daily when the culture medium is fully loaded was something people could provide at this stage.

What's more, using so much water to irrigate vegetables is not as profitable as directly using the water for trade.

Su Mo didn't care about this at all.

Keen observation allowed Su Mo to notice the culture medium's attribute description.

The grade of vegetables grown will not be lower than excellent quality.

This attribute seems a bit useless, but in Su Mo's hands, it's a god-like existence.

As long as there are extra Survival Points to invest in upgrading the culture medium's quality, the vegetables will also be upgraded.

Just imagine rare-level or even higher-level vegetables.

Su Mo's tears flowed uncontrollably from his mouth.

Opening the trading panel, Su Mo easily bought enough seeds to sow thirty-five square meters.

The price of these seeds was also ridiculously low.

It only cost 10ml of water!

In the age of civilization, what could 10ml of water do? Taking Nongfu Spring's bottle cap as an example, one bottle cap is close to 8ml.

Su Mo exchanged a little more than one bottle cap of water for dozens of seeds. The huge discount on this deal would make even Hua Tuo shed tears.

For two whole days, Su Mo hadn't eaten a single strand of vegetable, and his mouth was almost devoid of taste.

The talent for farming, engraved in the ancient bloodline genes, was activated the moment Su Mo got the seeds! Of the thirty-five square meters of seeds, Su Mo planned to use most of them to plant Tomatoes, and the remaining part to plant Garlic and Chinese Cabbage.

In the early years, southerners, located in fertile areas, fully satisfied their bodies' needs for vitamins through a rich variety of vegetables, fruits, and seafood.

However, people in the north, due to water and land conditions, could only selectively plant some vegetables that could sustain human life.

Among these, Tomatoes, Garlic, Cabbage, and Potatoes were the main ones.

Tomatoes can promote digestion and lubricate the intestines.

Garlic can detoxify, kill insects, eliminate bacteria, and strengthen the stomach. Garlic sprouts can also be used to stir-fry dishes to add flavor, and can also be eaten as snacks.

Potatoes have a high yield per mu, are filling, and eating one meal can sustain a whole day's work.

Cabbage is included in the northerners' diet because it is easy to store and tastes good.

These four vegetables are all very suitable for Su Mo at the moment.

After some consideration, Su Mo gave up planting Potatoes.

After summoning the vegetable culture medium from the inventory, the originally spacious Shelter suddenly became crowded.

Placing the culture medium under the skylight, and then burying all the vegetable seeds in the soil according to the spacing, Su Mo thought, "Tomatoes and Garlic take about three months to mature, while Cabbage is faster, about two months."

"I just don't know how much faster this culture medium can make it."

Sowing is a troublesome task.

Su Mo doesn't know much about agricultural knowledge, so he can only hope that the culture medium is effective.

After all, in the apocalypse, it's too difficult to find suitable fertilizers. As for getting some plant ash, Su Mo thought about it and decided to consider it after surviving the first disaster.

Without clocks, everyone living in the wasteland returned to the life pattern of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Sitting on the stool, Su Mo began to calculate the resources he had on hand.

First, the most important gold mine in the base - Psionic Water.

After an afternoon of storage, the Psionic Water has once again accumulated to 1000ml.

At a rate of 300ml per hour, if it weren't for controlling the output, Su Mo would have liked to take it all out to exchange for resources.

The strategic mineral resource, iron, has currently been traded to 130 units.

If the Shelter is to be upgraded to iron in the future, based on the calculation of two units of iron blocks per square meter, there is still a shortage of 70 units to fully upgrade the Shelter's material structure for greater stability and safety.

However, without a lightning protection structure, this is only a concept for now.

In terms of food, Su Mo ate half a kilogram of Large Rye Bread in the afternoon, leaving nine and a half kilograms.

This stuff is filling, as hard as a rock. If it weren't for soaking it in water, Su Mo's teeth wouldn't be able to bite through it at all.

The remaining miscellaneous items are a pet egg and a blueprint.

After taking stock, Su Mo went to the trading market for a stroll. Compared to the bustling scene in the afternoon, the trading market became deserted in the evening.

Water and food are still hard currency, in very short supply.

Or rather, everyone is hoarding.

After all, apart from Su Mo, no one knows if they can find water resources tomorrow after drinking this water.

Not finding anything of value, Su Mo had nothing to do and went to the chat channels to lurk.

Mainly to gather some intelligence.

There are too many messages in the World Channel. In the evening, everyone is trapped in their Shelters and can only run to communicate and relieve loneliness.

Su Mo quickly scanned, stopping to take a look when he matched an interesting keyword.

After the first day, by the second day, many players had encountered ruins spawning next to them.

However, not everyone has the courage to go in and explore.

More are watching from the periphery.

According to some players who entered, once you enter the ruins, as long as you retreat, the ruins will disappear.

There is only one chance to explore.

There is also a time limit for entering. According to some vague statements, it is basically about two hours before you will be forcibly thrown out.

As for what dangers or things are inside the ruins, no one has mentioned it.

Getting this news, Su Mo's heart tightened.

Maybe the ruins are not as good as some people imagine, and they are full of dangers.

The fact that no one is saying what dangers are inside is very likely because none of those who encountered danger were able to return to their bases alive.

Only those who survive can speak.

The dead are silent.

The fact that there are only 762 people left in the Area Channel is the best proof.

In one day, more than two hundred people died in the wasteland, never to return to Earth and see their families.

Inevitably, a feeling of grief rose in Su Mo's heart.

If the ruins spawn next to him tomorrow, should he go in or not?

Hiding in the base and slowly developing with Psionic Water is certainly a good idea, but the generous rewards after killing the Chameleon made Su Mo couldn't help but be tempted.

The upgrade direction of the Doomsday Survival System also requires items to activate.

If according to the normal development process, without disasters and Mutated Creatures, Su Mo could stay here until the end of time.

But not here!

Terrifying Mutated Beasts, randomly spawning ruins, unknown disasters... "Hiding here is too insecure. After all, my base is too weak. Even the door is made of wood. If a more powerful Mutated Beast comes, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died."

"If there are ruins, I must go in and explore. I'll explore the periphery, and if there's a problem, I'll retreat."

Under the bright firelight, a trace of perseverance appeared on Su Mo's face.

In Doomsday Survival, you either advance or retreat.

In terms of resources and Shelter development, he has the system and is confident that no one can be stronger than him.

In terms of individual strength and temperament, Su Mo doesn't want to fall behind either.

"When my family comes, I must have enough strength to protect them!"

After repeatedly questioning himself to solidify his resolve, Su Mo's mentality underwent a tremendous transformation for the first time.

The humility and gentleness in human nature from the civilized era were gradually being discarded, and the ferocity and wildness belonging to animals were constantly being activated.

Holding the Beech Spear, Su Mo lay down on the bed.

A moment later, as his breathing gradually evened out, he entered a dream.

In the dark night, starlight sprinkled down, and countless dark figures agilely moved through the wasteland, bringing with them bursts of roars.

Human Shelters were constantly being breached, and screams and beastly howls rang out, eventually fading into silence with time.

There were also countless fierce individuals who set traps, deliberately luring, waiting for Mutated Creatures to come to their door, and capturing and killing them in one fell swoop.

In the mining area, countless hardworking people still held Torches, bending over the ore veins, mining resources.

Doomsday Calendar, Day Two.

The human survival situation is precarious!
