Start by adding points from the basics to fight through the apocalypse

Chapter 121: Illusion, Reality, I, Dao Shiyi
Came to the same location again, near a thick ancient vine.

After careful confirmation, Li Lin found no trace of mutant beasts just like in his previous life.

"Shh-"

With one strike of the knife, the ancient vine was cut off directly. The inside of the ancient vine was hollow, and a pale yellow leaf was exposed.

The light yellow leaves are flat and slender with clear veins, a tapered apex, a wedge-shaped base, and finely serrated edges. There are a few setae scattered on the upper veins, and they feel smooth and soft to the touch.

"Shh-"

With another slash of the knife, Li Lin broke open the entire hollow ancient vine, finally revealing the appearance of the entire yellow ginseng plant.

At first glance, it is about eighty centimeters tall, with five spreading leaves and three delicate flowers. The entire plant, including the stems, leaves, and the flowers on the top of the head, is all light yellow.

It’s the 500-year-old imperial low-grade yellow ginseng!
Seeing the whole plant, Li Lin couldn't help but gasp.

In his previous life, he relied on this 500-year-old imperial lower-grade yellow ginseng to start his life full of ups and downs and hardships.

He survived for 28 years in the last days, and finally died under the giant claws of the terrifying black bear beast king!

In his previous life, in the 28th year of the end of the world, Li Lin obtained a total of three half-yellow imperial grade or above natural materials and earthly treasures.

Except for this 500-year-old imperial low-grade yellow ginseng that has not experienced any bloodshed, the other two and a half plants almost knocked the brains out of a dog.

In the second plant, Li Lin killed seven people, all of whom were his treasure-hunting companions, and each had their own agenda!

The third plant, two adventurer teams, more than 20 people, only him survived in the end.

The last half of the plant was broken into pieces in a fierce fight. He tried his best to only get half of it, and the efficacy of the medicine was greatly reduced.

As each natural and earthly treasure is discovered, countless adventurers often come to snatch it.

Those who are strong are determined to win, while those who are weak are hanging around to see if they can take advantage of it.

Even if you can't grab the treasures of heaven and earth, you can still make a lot of money if you can pick up a few refined weapons.

If you are lucky enough to miss something, and you are lucky enough to get a treasure from heaven and earth, it will be a huge profit.

Therefore, when Li Lin looked at Huang Xucen in front of him, he was particularly touched.

In his last life, he came here to look for luck, to see if there were any ginseng that had been overlooked. Then he accidentally cut it down and discovered the yellow ginseng parasitic in the ancient vine.

Then in the next two months, he searched through all the places where ginseng could be hidden in Wulei Mountain. He could not count the ants clearly, but he could clearly count the trees in Wulei Mountain, and he still remembers them even now.

There are 630 trees that can be surrounded by more than one person.

Thinking of his excitement at that time, Li Lin didn't hesitate too much, just took out the engineering shovel and started working.

It took Li Lin three minutes to dig out the 3-year-old yellow ginseng that changed his destiny "again."

The yellow ginseng is not big, a little bigger than a palm, and weighs four or two. The bald strips are round and smooth, majestic, and curved, with a little yellow light of sesame seeds.

There are not many side whiskers, which are slightly sparse. There are only more than ten hairs. Some are curved and fine, and the wind blows over the water, and they naturally form lines; some are curved and flying, and the clear water is turbulent, turning left and right; some are curved and spiral, away from the square. Escape round, dragons fly and snakes dance.

Taking out a jade box that had been prepared a long time ago, Li Lin carefully put the yellow ginseng inside.

After receiving the treasure Huang Xushen, Li Lin, who was a little excited, finally relaxed.

The last time he got the imperial-grade spring breeze, he wasn't so excited at all. It really meant something different.

It gave Li Lin the illusion that all illusions had returned to reality, and that thousands of thoughts had returned to one.

But whether it was illusion or reality, Li Lin had an inexplicable condensation in his heart - I am Dao Shiyi!

Become stronger!

Kill through this apocalypse!
Next, Li Lin completely relaxed and began to search on Wulei Mountain.

He was extremely fast and had excellent eyesight. When he gathered at five o'clock in the afternoon, he had found more than 30 ginseng plants in total, except for the yellow ginseng.

Others also had a good harvest, with almost 150 plants together.

It was still comfortable to drink the soup. If it hadn't been for luck in his previous life, he wouldn't have been able to see a single ginseng hair.

Next to the fire, Li Lin looked at the guards and said, "Tomorrow we will search carefully for another day, and we will return to the base the day after tomorrow."

Their original plan was to search for two days, and then delay another two days on the way back and forth, for a total of four days.

The next day, the difficulty of finding ginseng increased greatly. After turning the entire Wulei Mountain upside down, I could only find more than 20 ginseng plants.

Li Lin found more than ten of them, but the eyesight of the others was still much worse after all.

There must be more trees on the mountain, but there are definitely no more than ten, and Li Lin is too lazy to look for them.

Finally, I made a count and removed the yellow ginseng in Li Lin's hand, plus the 63 plants in the camp at the foot of the mountain, for a total of 240 plants.

Among them, there are two 100-year-old plants, which are owned by Li Lin by default.

There are 60 rare plants that are over 47 years old, and the rest are all over 30 years old.

Harvest!
With these ginseng taken back, the base's top management will usher in a wave of leaps and bounds of progress, completely widening the gap with others.

……

On the fourth day after leaving, Li Lin led ten of his guards back safely. Facing the rising sun, everyone felt refreshed and full of hope for the future.

The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and the mist in the mountains gradually dispersed. When the time came to 08:30, Li Lin and the others passed by Lijiatuo again.

Lijiatuo's location is on a mountain col, which happens to be stuck on the only way to Wulei Mountain. If Li Lin wants to get around it, he has to go around the mountain next to it in a thankless way, and in the process he has to cross a road more than ten meters wide. small river.

When innocent people are in danger, they need to appear suddenly like divine soldiers from heaven and then come to help.

That is not a magic weapon descended from heaven, but a disaster star descending into the world. Wherever you go, you will encounter danger.

"City Lord Li, you are back!"

A middle-aged man guarding behind the fence saw Li Lin coming back, with a smile on his face and great enthusiasm, "Brother Qiang said he has something to do with you and wants you to wait a moment."

Li Lin nodded and said nothing, because he had already seen Wang Qiang running over from a distance.

Wang Qiang smiled and said: "City Lord Li, your trip went smoothly, right?"

Li Lin nodded, "It went smoothly."

Wang Qiang said again: "I have already asked people to cook. Why don't you go into the village and have a meal before leaving?" "No need."

Li Lin shook his head and said, "Village Chief Wang, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

"Is such that."

Wang Qiang shook his head in embarrassment, and then said, "Can we let some young people and children join the Yulong Mountain Base?"

He said he wouldn't join the day before yesterday, but now he was begging the other party again, which really made him feel embarrassed.

"can!"

Without hesitation, Li Lin nodded, "But when you arrive at the Yulong Mountain base, you must abide by my rules!

"rule?""

Wang Qiang's expression changed slightly, "What are the rules?"

Inexplicably, he had some bad images in his mind.

Li Lin spelled out some simple base rules: "First, absolutely obey the city lord's orders, and anyone who violates them will be killed!

Second, people in the base are not allowed to kill each other, and any offenders will be killed!

......"

After listening, Wang Qiang's complexion improved a little, but only a little.

"In troubled times, we should use heavy rules. If we don't kill, it will not be enough to suppress the impetuous mind after the end of the world."

Li Lin said calmly: "Now at the Yulong Mountain Base, the doors are not closed at night, and no items are picked up on the road. No one is bullied or oppressed. If you want to eat, you can work hard, and if you don't want to eat, you can sleep at home. Everything is more rewarding for more work. It is absolutely fair."

After hearing this, Wang Qiang's face finally looked much better, "I believe that no one from Lijiatuo will commit any crime!"

Li Lin nodded, "I hope so too."

Wang Qiang said: "City Master Li, there are 53 of us going to the Yulong Mountain base. I have already gone to call for people. They will follow you later!"

"Need not."

Li Lin smiled and said: "I will come to Lijiatuo in a week. Then let those people follow me."

Wang Qiang blurted out, "That snapping turtle?"

"Correct."

Li Lin nodded, "To you, that snapping turtle is a man-eating monster, but to me, it is a treasure."

Wang Qiang didn't say much, "Then I'll wait for you, City Master Li, to come back in a week."

Li Lin nodded, "Take advantage of this time to let them get together with their relatives more, or say goodbye forever."

Wang Qiang said with sadness in his eyes, "I will."

……

Leaving Lijiatuo, Li Lin and others continued on their way.

Passing through several towns along the way, they all passed at a faster speed from the edge.

When they came, they were still in the mood to hunt zombies, but when they returned, they were all eager to return home.

Everyone is eager to return to the base as soon as possible to use ginseng to improve their strength, and then go out to sweep all directions, instead of doing some thankless things now.

However, Li Lin and the others paused for a moment, and Li Lin went out alone for half an hour.

Half an hour later, Li Lin came back with a mutant chicken the size of an ostrich.

This chicken got a spiritual light bead and ran quite fast.

It's a pity that Li Lin shot him to the ground with an arrow.

Now the ginseng and the cock are alive!

The previous town close to Muma Town - Baipo Town, where Li Lin and the others met people from the Yulong Mountain Base.

Everyone said hello to Li Lin when they saw him.

It is better for towns to be far away from big cities, and it is better to be close to them.

The closer you get to the city, there will be some large logistics warehouses nearby, containing various abundant resources.

Far away from the city, the most abundant things are food, mutant beasts, various seeds, agricultural tools, and the most valuable survivors.

In the last days, materials will be gone once they are used.

The survivors that can be brought back are real renewable resources, plump leeks.

Only when the population base is large can the number of potential elites be increased.

Only by constantly adding new blood will the base remain full of vitality.

Although the Yulong Mountain base will exceed 10 people, Li Lin will not be satisfied with 10 people.

He wants 20, 50, or even 100 million.

In the previous life, each survivor camp was precarious. No one could settle down to grow food, and no one had the energy to recapture towns with powerful mutant zombies.

There are all kinds of internal strife for power, intrigues between various camps, life and death.

Therefore, humans are seriously short of food, and many people starve to death!

But now the most indispensable thing in the Yulong Mountain Base is food, and he can feed it no matter how large the population is.

That’s why he advocated recovering City M first, instead of directly counterattacking City C!
Although there are 4000 million people in City C, the survivors there are now very few due to lack of food and water.

On the other hand, although M City has only 500 million people, it is located in a remote countryside and has an extremely large number of survivors.

Population, he needs more population.
