Chapter 572: The Extinction of the Beast Race on the Xiuluo Holy Star

Ninth Defense Zone Outer City.

Seeing that all operations in the Military District had been proceeding smoothly over the past few days and that none of the advancing Legions had encountered large-scale attacks from the Zerg, Yingzhou gradually shifted his focus to the Outer City.

After all, with the residents of the Outer City now providing a stable source of Faith Value, he still needed to increase the population so he could achieve freedom in his Faith Value usage.

At this moment, Yingzhou was discussing the planning of some residential areas in the Fourth Defense Zone and the Ninth Defense Zone with Angron and Jack.

"We can now reduce the number of our Production Zones to a certain extent and convert the vacated areas into crop production zones to expand food production."

Ever since the Armory began consuming Faith Value to replenish ammunition and exchange for weapons and equipment, the main output of the Production Zones in the Outer City had been materials for building defensive fortifications and military rations.

In fact, Yingzhou had also exchanged for food from the system before, but after taking a simple bite, he only felt that the food on this planet was, at the very least, not too terrible to eat.

Perhaps it had to do with the fact that he hadn't eaten anything too bad, or perhaps it was because he knew the raw materials of that food; in any case, from then on, Yingzhou never specifically exchanged for food from the system again.

"Father, the number of production zones in the Fourth Defense Zone is actually not high yet. The reduction of production zones can be carried out in the Ninth Defense Zone first. By the way, Daixi over at the new city-state wants us to provide a city-state designation number."

Yingzhou nodded, and after pondering for a few seconds, he said.

"Hmm, the Fourth Defense Zone is still in the integration phase after accepting the survivors from the Seventh Defense Zone, so there is no rush.

Send a message to Kelin and tell them to follow the previous rhythm, letting the survivors from the Seventh Defense Zone integrate into normal life first before considering other issues. As for Daixi, give them a number; let's call it Xinghuo No. 1 City-State."

"Understood."

Jack then asked Yingzhou.

"Yingzhou, the crop production zones in the Ninth Defense Zone are currently undergoing diversified production, and a portion of the area is still maintaining a certain yield, which can allow our soldiers on the front lines to have better meals."

Upon hearing Jack's report, Yingzhou's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his face, and he said.

"Is that so? That's fine, prioritize supply to the various Legions on the front lines, especially those Legions I summoned."

These soldiers were fighting against the Alien Race on the front lines, and Yingzhou felt that such an allocation was not inappropriate, and it would also allow them to taste the food of this world.

"Let's go, Jack, we'll go take a look at the crop production zone in a while."

"Yes, that's fine."

Yingzhou looked at Angron again and said to Angron.

"Angron, I'll leave the remaining planning to you. I am very confident in your planning in this regard."

"Understood, don't worry, Father."

After confirming there were no other omissions, Yingzhou followed Jack to the nearest planting production zone.

As soon as the two entered the planting zone, Yingzhou's conspicuous physique was spotted by the surrounding residents working there, and everyone greeted Yingzhou excitedly.

After responding briefly, Yingzhou saw crops he hadn't seen before growing vigorously in the soil.

Yingzhou asked the resident in charge of the crops if it was alright to step on this land, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he led Jack onto the planting zone soil, his pant cuffs stained with the brown color unique to freshly turned soil.

"This is the purple cabbage planted last week."

Jack tapped the metal-lustered support frame, and the drip irrigation system at the top was orderly infusing Spiritual Power into the purple cabbage.

"Under the infusion of Spiritual Power, the growth cycle of these crops will be shortened, and they can then be handed over to the food processing plant in the Production Zone to make military rations for the front-line soldiers."

Yingzhou squatted down to check the humidity in the soil and turned to ask Jack behind him.

"How many tons can we produce every day now?"

"We have a stable supply of eight tons of fresh vegetables daily, not counting dry goods like potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Jack picked a tomato from the next plot and handed it over.

"Try this; it's the latest crop planted."

The moment the sweet and sour juice burst on the tip of his tongue, Yingzhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he then wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Not bad, the taste is quite good!"

Several workers in protective suits pushed a harvester past, and three rows of lettuce fell neatly where the tracks rolled over.

Yingzhou noticed the empty cultivation troughs in the corner: "What are you planning to plant there?"

"We intend to try planting coffee and cocoa."

Jack took out his tablet to pull up the data and explained to Yingzhou.

"You said that sweets can relieve battlefield stress; we'll be able to harvest the first batch next month."

Yingzhou squatted by the edge of the field and grabbed a handful of soil; the brown particles fell rustling through his fingers.

In the distance, the harvester was loading bundles of lettuce onto a truck, the green leaves glistening with oil in the sunlight.

Jack watched Yingzhou sitting and chatting with the residents of the planting zone, his pant legs covered in mud; he was indeed different from those nobles of the Inner City in the past.

He had never viewed himself as a high and mighty existence, and even the environment he currently lived in was still that converted warehouse room from before.

To be honest, even if Yingzhou wanted to live in a palace, the residents of the Outer City would not refuse, and would even praise him.

But he didn't; he didn't even have any rigid requirements for his own residence or living conditions, and that light gray robe on his body had become Yingzhou's trademark.

Jack was suddenly filled with emotion and spoke up unprompted behind Yingzhou.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare believe that I could once again see these crops reaching the front-line soldiers and the mouths of the Outer City residents."

Hearing Jack say this, Yingzhou hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile, patted the other's shoulder, and said.

"The mistakes they made require us to remain vigilant. As time passes, there will always be people who cannot resist temptation and begin to walk their old path, and what I must do is to prevent this situation from happening as much as possible!"

Hearing Yingzhou say this, Jack nodded and replied.

"Indeed, your worry is inevitable, but there will always be a way to solve this situation when the time comes."

"I hope so."

Just as Yingzhou stood up, a system notification sound rang in his ears.

"Congratulations to the Host for completing the Task 【Eliminate the Beast Race on the Xiuluo Holy Star】. The task reward has been issued."

Upon hearing this news, Yingzhou's eyes immediately lit up.

This task reward was a Random Draw; he only needed to wait for the prosperity level of the Fourth Defense Zone to meet the standard, and he could perform a double-buff stacked Random Draw!
