Zombies take me as air

Chapter 48 Busy
It should be golden autumn in September, but there is light snow in the sky, and the temperature drops to minus 3 degrees in mid-September.

Kong Qi remembered the story the old director had told them. The old director's father grew up in the old days, and his ancestors were fishermen by the river for generations.

In the north a hundred years ago, the temperature was about the same as last year, and it was freezing cold. At that time, there was a kind of house built underground, which was said to be particularly warm.

In her imagination, such a house should save firewood, but after thinking twice, she gave up the idea of ​​digging a hole to build a house by herself.

She didn't know anything about building a house or repairing a stove. Besides, she was the only one. It took half a month just to dig a hole. Before the cold winter came, she would never finish the work.

The coal Lu Xiangbei stored last year was only enough to burn for one winter, and because of the long winter and the record low temperature, the burning consumed faster, so Kong Qi had to figure out the fuel for the winter this year.

She sharpened her ax and went about chopping wood, and when she collected supplies, she did not spare combustible materials.

The materials in the cellar were so full that there was nowhere to go, and the 'firewood' she brought back was piled up everywhere in the village.

Lu Xiangbei's family couldn't let it go anymore, so she let it go to someone else's house, and no one came back from the village, so she acquiesced that no one from her village would show up again.

This time she took a long time to prepare, so she surrounded the village into a fortress, leaving only one way in and out.

She used all the furniture in the village to build a watchtower, which was about as high as a three-story building. The furniture was filled with stones, which could withstand the wind.

Maybe next year there will be no spring at all, so she has to prepare for the 'eternal winter' in advance.

Long coats, long johns, cotton coats, cotton trousers, leather coats, leather trousers, down jackets, and down trousers, all must be worn, and a pair of felt shoes should be worn outside the cotton shoes.

This is the dress of people from the northern border in the old days. When she was a child, she often heard the old headmaster talk about it. Other children didn't like to hear it, but Kong Qi was willing to listen to it, and silently wrote down these old things, and later checked it on the Internet.

She managed to collect the whole set of winter clothes, and the winter clothes alone filled half the room.

She didn't let go of such things as Nuan Baobao. Survivors patronized many drug stores, but no one took Nuan Baobao and Chinese patent medicines.

She put all the traditional Chinese medicine and vitamins that nourish the body into a backpack and took them back to the village.

A strong body is the foundation to fight against the cold, and she also pulled back a treadmill.

Kong Qi turned into a hamster and filled the "old den" to the brim.

October [-]st was the day when she and Lu Xiangbei met for the first time. Kong Qi thought of Lu Xiangbei and silently prayed that he was safe.

The donkey grew up day by day, and the dog food that Kong Qi found for it filled a room. She 'looted' many pet stores, from dog food to toys, there was nothing she would not take back.

Er Donkey's kennel was placed on the other side of the stove, and Kong Qi and it each guarded one side.

Kong Qi doesn’t know how to raise dogs. She heard that dogs like the Erlu breed need erected ears. She didn’t know what to do, but Erlu didn’t let her worry about it. , not afraid of the cold at all.

When it snows, Kong Qi takes it out. It will roll and play in the snow and eat snow cubes.

In Kong Qi's eyes Erlu was just a demon dog, much more powerful than her, she couldn't survive seven days without food or drink.

So Kong Qi wasn't very worried about it, and didn't give it a leash.

The second donkey never ran around, never left Kong Qi's sight range, or it never let Kong Qi out of its sight range.

Sometimes Kong Qi wondered if the second donkey had awakened her blood and let her go like a sheep.

Kong Qi tried to make some simple traps to catch small animals. She could collect convenience food and clothes, but she couldn't find fresh meat in the city.

She also went to the river to cast nets, hoping to catch some fish. With her skills, if it was before the disaster, she would not be able to catch anything.

Now that there are no other living people to go fishing or hunting, her method of casting a wide net is more or less effective.

Moreover, the zombies have already migrated south, and there is one less natural enemy of animals. Even small animals can be seen in the city.

If you are lucky, Kong Qi can also hunt one or two small animals with a hand crossbow. Hunting this job depends on whether you are familiar with it or not.

Kong Qi goes out to practice every day. If she can't catch prey to get supplies, she will take the meat back to the village for storage if she catches prey.

She also brought back a few boxes of books, which she found from the bookstore. She went to the library specially to take away all the technical books that she could use.

There are too many skills that a person needs to master to survive in the last days.

During her busy time, neither Nan Xing nor Li Qi came back.

She planned to take a walk far away before the temperature dropped too far.

She planned to cross the border and go to the neighboring country to take a look. There were few people there and there would not be too many zombies. She wanted to know if the zombies there had moved south.

She fitted the tricycle with a 'shed' to protect it from the wind, and a small tandoor with charcoal burning inside.

The second donkey was dozing by the stove, and Kong Qi was pedaling in front of her. It took her two days to get to the border. There was a guo/flag on her cart. If there were any living people there, they should know that she too Living people, where did they come from.

She rode across the border, no one stopped her, and there were no zombies nearby.

If a wild beast approaches, the second donkey will spot it before Kong Qi does. It stands up from the fire and barks in the direction of the wild beast.

On the other side of the border, apart from the ice and snow, and wild beasts passing by from time to time, there were no other living creatures, not a single zombie.

At first, Kong Qi still held some hope. Maybe the disaster here is not serious. After all, there are few people and a large land, so the speed of transmission will be affected.

She entered the foreign village. Although she didn't see people or zombies, the blood stains in the house told her that the situation here was not as good as she thought.

There was no living person in the village, no corpses to be seen, bullet holes in the walls, and splattered brain tissue.

She walked through several villages in a row, and the food was left in the house and no one took it away.

She felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so she stopped exploring. There was something waiting for her ahead, and her intuition told her that it was not what she wanted to see.

Kong Qi returned home after spending seven days abroad. The temperature dropped five degrees a week. When she returned to the village, the outdoor temperature had already dropped to minus ten degrees.

The village is the same as when she left, and the family's supplies are not short.

Kong Qi filled the cardboard boxes with soil and sprinkled seeds, put the cardboard boxes in the kitchen, and started to grow indoors.

She picked leeks and tomatoes that were easier to grow, and warned the two donkeys not to eat the seedlings.

She doesn't want poultry anymore. The poultry in the farms have died long ago, and the ones raised by individuals in the countryside have also died.

She can only go out to find a bird's nest to see if there are any unlucky birds laying eggs in the nest.

She didn't know if she didn't look for it, but after looking for it, she found that there were still many bird's nests, but they were not on the trees. They flew into the unoccupied buildings through the broken doors and windows, looking for shelter from the wind to build their nests.

Birds can find 'warm' places to build nests, as do other animals, and buildings abandoned by humans are their ready-made new homes.

Kong Qi doesn't know much about the migratory habits of birds. She doesn't know if it's normal for them to stay in the north, and whether the early winter has disrupted their breeding patterns, but she is willing for them to stay. With them, meat and eggs ·The 'egg' in the powdered milk will be lost.
