Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 95 - : Finish Work, Go Home!

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Finish Work, Go Home!

Jiang Yan hadn’t washed her face, and she casually ran her fingers through her hair.

She planned to return to the Shallow Bay District in the afternoon.

Having stayed outside for two to three days, keeping herself too clean actually made her stand out more.

It wasn’t that she was particularly afraid, but being low-key and cautious was always a good idea.

After packing up the tent, moisture-proof mats, sleeping bags, insulated cups, and so on, the instant noodles were ready as well.

She hadn’t eaten these in a long time, and with the cold and damp weather outside, the bowl of spicy beef flavored instant noodles had become an extremely delicious dish.

...

She finished it all in one breath, drinking even the last drop of the soup, and felt warmly suffused throughout.

After changing into her diving suit and descending to the 13th floor, she re-entered the Space and took out Hua Bao, who had been left inside to madly “eat” and upgrade.

Casting a casual glance, the progress bar above the stream had now risen to 32%!

For the time being, the rate of progress was relatively fast, which also related to Hua Bao prioritizing those high-valued jewels for its feasting.

Jiang Yan guessed that as they moved forward, the speed of the progress bar would gradually decrease.

After all, as they advanced, those jewels and luxury watches would be comparatively less valuable.

But she wasn’t in a hurry.

Summoned out, Hua Bao looked at Jiang Yan with anticipation:

“Jie Jie Jie?” Mom, where are we going today?

It resolutely wouldn’t tell its mother that after it saw two sunbathing turtles by the pool outside the window, it had found new joy.

For instance, it “kicked” one into the water and flipped the other on its back using Xiao Ye.

Jiang Yan took out the treasure map and pointed to a marker named “Anming Bee Base” nearby to show it.

Hua. Navigator. Bao instantly memorized its location coordinates.

“Jie Jie Jie?” Oh, mom, what is a Seed Resource Library?

Hua Bao extended Xiao Yezi and pointed curiously at a name marked on the mountain near the bee base.

Jiang Yan moved closer to examine the map, seeing the words “Anming Seed Resource Library” and instantly beamed:

“Hua Bao, you really have sharp eyes! A Seed Resource Library is a professional facility for preserving crop seeds!”

She hadn’t noticed before that there was such a facility nearby.

It looked like this morning’s schedule could be extended with an additional item.

Thinking so, Jiang Yan had already taken out the assault boat, the compass, and the theodolite from the Space.

Starting the motor, one person and one flower quickly headed towards the bee base nearby.

In everyone’s understanding, seeds were tremendously valuable in the apocalypse.

With seeds, all things had hope to revive, and mankind also had hope to survive.

She remembered there was a “Doomsday Seed Bank” in the Country of Ten Thousand Islands built in frozen soil, storing over 100 million seeds from all over the world.

This seed bank’s security was comparable to the Beautiful Country’s national gold reserve.

It could withstand disasters like asteroid impacts and nuclear wars.

Even if the glaciers at the Southern Pole melted and the sea levels rose, it wouldn’t affect it.

And reportedly, its reserve power could last at least two hundred years.

This Anming Seed Bank was somewhat a joint public-private venture.

Its reserve capacity and security level definitely couldn’t compare to the Doomsday Seed Bank.

But she still planned to explore it.

After all, if no one went there today,

tomorrow, it might no longer be accessible.

With these thoughts, Jiang Yan had already arrived near the bee base.

Though called a base, it was actually just a few small houses built halfway up the mountain, probably with accompanying planting greenhouses.

However, it seemed that previous landslides and mudslides had caused most of the buildings to collapse, presenting a scene of devastation.

Only the central house showed one and a half floors, standing staunchly amidst the mud.

Jiang Yan felt she might return empty-handed today.

But since she had come, she decided to go in and look around first.

The glass windows had long been washed away by the floods, and the doors were wrecked too.

And the door was tightly blocked by oddly shaped branches, making it impossible to enter.

She had no choice but to stow the boat, take out a helmet from the Space and put it on before she climbed through the only remaining window.

The inside of the house had water up to the waist.

Floating in the water were specimens, branches, dead rats, and some small bee corpses.

Jiang Yan pulled out a flashlight and finally found the stairs leading upstairs in a corner after a long search.

Holding a trekking pole, she probed the bottom of the water and then waded step by step, slowly moving forward.

The stairs were wet and slippery, lacking a handrail, so Jiang Yan moved very slowly.

After several minutes, she reached the upper floor.

She switched her flashlight for a high-power searchlight.

The whole room lit up as if it were daylight.

In the modest-sized room, there were seven or eight large metal cabinets with glass doors.

Jiang Yan leaned in closer and saw the words “Thermostatic Cabinets.”

Presumably due to earlier high temperatures and a power cut, all the bees inside had died.

Such a bee base likely had a backup power source to last a short period.

But, the room storing the backup generator was probably demolished by rain, or the wires were damaged, leading to its failure.

Jiang Yan frowned, about to turn and leave, but a glint of inspiration struck her when her gaze swept over those thermostatic cabinets again.

She had learned in the Space, studying agriculture: to hatch chicks from eggs, they either needed a hen or a thermostatic cabinet.

Now, the Space had live fish, shrimp, crabs, and turtles; raising some chickens, ducks, and geese would establish its ecosystem.

Crucially, her storeroom not only had chicken, duck, and goose eggs but also quail, pigeon, and ostrich eggs.

If all were hatched, the Space would become lively.

As for the pollinating bees she had not found, she was not worried.

Besides bees, butterflies, ants, beetles could also pollinate.

If she couldn’t find any, she would hand-pollinate them or let Hua Bao, the “Flower Worker,” pollinate.

Jiang Yan quickly finished her thoughts, took out a spare battery from the Space, found the plugs of these heating cabinets, and tested them.

After the tests, out of the eight cabinets, only three were functional. She cleared the bee corpses and stored everything in the Space.

She decided that on a stormy day when there was nothing else to do, she would incubate various eggs in the Space, which would also test her agricultural knowledge.

Back on the assault boat, Jiang Yan noticed the rain had intensified.

She didn’t dare to delay further, guided by Hua Bao’s “navigation,” she quickly headed towards the Seed Resource Library.

Halfway there, she instinctively took out her telescope for a look.

A small boat with a flag, which seemed official, was parked nearby.

Looking further, Jiang Yan’s gaze sharpened.

Severe landslides had occurred near the Seed Resource Library, seemingly covering everything including the entrance.

A group of people in black rain boots were burying their heads in the mud, wielding pickaxes and crowbars clear the debris.

Others were collectively moving branches and miscellaneous items.

Lacking mechanical diggers, such manual labor had no end in sight.

But that wasn’t something Jiang Yan needed to concern herself with.

She turned the assault boat around, took out a raincoat from the Space, put on her goggles, and then restarted the motor towards Shallow Bay.

As she approached the Shallow Bay District, Jiang Yan switched to an inflatable boat.

And from the Space, she took out a large black backpack.

By this time, the backpack was stuffed with instant noodles, sausages, and other supplies.

Not very heavy, but it looked bulging at a glance.
