CHAPTER 925: CHAPTER 218: EVERYONE HOPES FOR A GREAT MOUNTAIN AT THEIR BACK

Wang Kai greeted enthusiastically with a smile.

Lin Fan came up to Gu Hang, "Brother Hang, can you see if there’s a suitable area for livestock around here? There are many poultry at the base, and I’d like to plan out a livestock area here."

"Alright, there’s a zoo not far from the shelter. The animals there are all dead, so keeping poultry there shouldn’t be an issue," Gu Hang said.

He knew what zoo was nearby.

Xinfeng Zoo.

It covered a large area and used to have many animals. He had never been there because the ticket prices were a bit high, and he didn’t have a girlfriend or kids, so going to the zoo alone seemed pointless.

"Okay, I’ll go back to the base with Captain Lei now to bring the poultry back."

Lin Fan set off with Captain Lei, still using the transport aircraft. There was a significant amount of poultry over there, and using the transport aircraft was more convenient.

Before long.

Lin Fan and Captain Lei returned with the poultry.

At the zoo.

Lin Fan, Captain Lei, Brother Hang, and the others looked at the situation before them, while other survivors placed the poultry in different areas. Seeing so many poultry, the survivors felt good.

This meant that poultry could be raised independently in the future.

As they slowly hatch, the numbers would grow.

Gu Hang said, "We need to find some people to take care of these poultry. Initially, they need to be well-tended, and once more poultry hatch, we can provide meat for the shelter while controlling consumption."

Lin Fan replied, "Yes, the frozen meat can last a long time. During this period, it’s enough for the poultry to breed. Once they reach a certain number, we can supply everyone’s needs steadily."

That’s how it is in the apocalypse.

Many things need to be rebuilt by themselves. When they first arrived here, they found many animals had turned into mummies, literally starved and died of thirst.

Trapped here without caregivers, they couldn’t possibly survive.

"How many are there?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

After talking to the survivors, Gu Hang said, "There are one hundred and sixty chickens, one hundred and thirty-five ducks, thirty-one pigs, eleven cows, and forty-five sheep. The numbers are quite considerable, but it will take some time to provide enough supply."

Lin Fan smiled, "That’s great. From having nothing to having a starting number now is already impressive. Let’s take it slowly, no rush."

Humans are good at raising animals, but they need some professionals.

These matters don’t require his attention. Guan Hao was always registering survivor information, and later he can just send messages to the group. Even if there are no technical personnel, there are breeding books in the library—learning and raising simultaneously is also convenient.

Nighttime.

Messages in the group.

Gu Hang: "Good news everyone, we already have a certain number of poultry, but they need to be bred and cultivated. Anyone with experience in raising poultry, please sign up."

Elder Wang: "Xiao Hang, I have extensive experience raising poultry. When I was young, I did these things in the countryside."

The elderly Elder Wang felt that raising poultry was truly where he could be useful, promptly stepping forward to sign up.

Although he was a veteran, there were many soldiers in the shelter, all of whom had undergone modern military management training. He had to admit that the skills of the young people couldn’t be compared to his own.

All along, he had no specific tasks in the shelter. Every day, he just chatted with the old Zhou and others, wandering around aimlessly, finding it difficult to see his value.

When the shelter was first developing,

Some survivors arrived here, filled with confusion about the future, unfamiliar with the environment.

He would comfort them well as an elder.

But now, there was no need for his comfort anymore; Xiao Hao and the others had taken over his duties early on.

Gu Hang: "Old Chief, you should just relax and enjoy life, leave these things to us young folks."

Elder Wang: "Who are you looking down on, you brat? My body may be old, but my heart is young."

Gu Hang: "... Elder, let’s leave it to us young ones. You can be a technical advisor if you’d like, just supervise a bit."

Over a hundred new members joined the group today.

These new members remained silent, quietly observing the chat.

They knew by now that the Sunshine Shelter had many elderly.

In the post-apocalyptic world, the position of the elderly was the lowest, sometimes even seen as burdens. In some bases, the elderly might not have been bitten by zombies but were killed by survivors. After all, what use are the elderly?

Living is merely wasting resources.

However, seeing the chat messages, they discovered that people here treated the elderly with respect and care, wouldn’t let them work, and simply took care of them directly.

This made them feel secure; people who could do this in the shelter must not be bad.

Zhou Yang: "I’m good at animal husbandry. Back home, I raised pigs, a dozen pigs at a time, each pig raised by me was plump and round."

He Qing: "That’s perfect. You should be in charge of raising pigs. We will definitely have you to thank when we get to eat pork."

Zhou Yang: "No, I still have to manage the prison, guiding those lost souls onto the right path."

Gao Bo: "I feel like I can take on such a responsibility."
