Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 672 Xu Chengcai!
On the evening of the 16th.

Afterglow of the setting sun.

In the big camphor tree base, the rice and sweet potatoes placed on the cement road are washed and sliced ​​for exposure to the sun.

For long-term preservation, these things must be exposed to the sun and air-dried.

Generally speaking, rice can be almost dried after three days of exposure to the sun.

Standing on the wall, Li Yu looked at the paved rice paddies on the cement road in the outer city. Under the dim sunlight, they were also golden yellow rice paddies, which looked particularly beautiful.

Standing next to him, the second uncle saw Li Yu's frown and said, "Xiaoyu, I feel that you have something on your mind. We have harvested the greenhouse now, so don't worry too much."

Li Yu shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not worried, by the way, is the grain harvest counted now?"

The second uncle took out a book from his arms, opened a few pages and said: "Now the rice is not completely dehydrated, and the 120 acres of land have roughly counted the staple foods such as rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, but there is no final result. Let dry.

The weight with water is: 48 tons of rice output, about 36 tons after drying in the sun and then machine-dried, 10 tons of corn, 10 tons of sweet potatoes, 5 tons of potatoes, a total of 61 tons of staple food. .”

Li Yu calculated that according to the fact that the greenhouse ignores the weather temperature, the rice needs about 3 to 4 months of growth in one season, and it can reach three crops a year.

That is to say, the annual output of staple food can reach 183 tons, because the rice has not been hulled, and the corn also has cobs. Roughly calculated based on 80%, it is about 146 tons.

Calculated on the basis of an average person eating one catty a day, it can feed more than 800 people.

At present, the total population of the inner and outer cities of Dazhangshu Base is less than 400.

With the current food, it is possible to meet the needs of everyone in the bases in the inner and outer cities, as well as exchange supplies with cooperative personnel and basic subsidies for non-staff personnel.

There is even a surplus.

Li Yu quickly calculated these in his brain, and he was slightly relieved.

In the last days, food is always the most important thing, and weapons are only second.

Why does the sunset look the same as the morning?
That's because the end point and the starting point are very close.

There is a pattern to everything, and it goes on and on.

From the beginning-end-point-beginning-.
After this blizzard, everyone thought it was finally over and it was time for new hope.

What they don't know is that another storm has just begun.

People are always eager to reach the goal and the end point. After reaching a certain end point, they suddenly realize that it is a new beginning.

Over time, people seem to lose motivation and passion after being beaten hard by a hammer.

People who see through all this will feel that life is meaningless, and that living in this last days, they have to resist the evil thoughts in their hearts, starve for lack of food and not eat people, are too tired, and then go to the darkness alone to die.

Li Yu used to think about this, and he thought about it clearly, but he was supported by the saying that it is better to die than to live.

After being reborn, he began to gradually understand and found the answer.

Paying attention to the meaning of being alive has no meaning in itself, not deliberately seeking meaning, but using one's own body to experience everything at the moment, this is the greatest meaning.

Only do what you like to do, don't waste time, and focus on understanding one idea.

He doesn't care what other people think.

The more than 50 cooperators left. When they left, they walked very slowly, but they finally left.

Li Yu watched them leave with his own eyes, as if he had seen their end soon.

The sun is sinking a little bit.

Sudden.

Li Yu saw that He Chao and the others were putting away the rice that had been drying all afternoon, and was about to put it away, so he hurriedly called out to him: "He Chao, there is no need to collect the rice, you can continue to dry it tomorrow!"

He Chao looked up and saw Li Yu talking to him, too far away to hear clearly.

So he took out the walkie-talkie and asked, "Mr. Li, I didn't hear what you just said clearly."

Li Yu immediately took out the walkie-talkie and said to He Chao: "I said, there is no need to harvest these rice, and it will be dried tomorrow, and it will be collected tonight and dried again tomorrow. It is a waste of time."

He Chao stood there, apparently in a daze for a few seconds.

"That night, do you want to send someone to watch over here?" He Chao said.

Li Yu looked at a large area of ​​rice, and there were solar street lights on the cement road, so he said, "Yes, you can arrange someone to watch tonight."

"Okay." He Chao replied, and then told the other people who helped put the rice away, and asked them to push the rice back.

On the outskirts of Hangzhou.

Sparse jungle, decayed leaves, with some dewdrops on them.

The ground is wet.

Xu Chengcai tightly covered the mouth of his nine-year-old son, telling him not to make a sound.

Hearing the screams from over there, the son trembled like a sieve.

He poked his head out vigilantly, looking nervously at a group of people not far away.

"Brother Zhang, enjoy it first! Hahaha." A man with a dirty face and rashes said with a grin.

His teeth were jagged, yellow and black, and just looking at them made him feel sick.

The burly man said a few words, unscrupulously untied his belt, and walked over.

The shrill screams resounded in the setting sun.

Xu Chengcai clenched his fists tightly, the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out.

But when he saw his son next to him, he had no choice but to put down his hand weakly.

If he was alone, he would have rushed over.

eat human!

It's not a rare thing in the last days, but every time he encounters it, it will make him feel extremely uncomfortable.

In the last days, there was a shortage of food. He and his son survived the cold winter, and now they haven't had a normal meal for a long time.

"Xiaoyong, let's go!" Xu Chengcai said to his son after seeing the group of people take the two women away, and the forest regained calm.

Xiaoyong trembled all over, hugged his father's arm, tears in his eyes: "Dad, will we die?"

Xu Chengcai's heart trembled slightly, and he said to him, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you, it's okay."

Because of long-term malnutrition, Xiaoyong is skinny and skinny, with the skin sticking to the bones all over his face.

Xiaoyong wiped away his tears and got up slowly following his father.

Xu Chengcai stood up with a limp. He hadn't eaten for a long time, and his body was extremely weak. This was one of the reasons why he chose to hide just now.

With his luggage on his back, he slowly walked in the opposite direction from where those people had just left.

The father and son supported each other and slowly walked out of the woods.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the figures of the two people were stretched very long.

Suddenly.

Xiaoyong raised his head, looked at his father seriously and said, "Are we good people?"

Xu Chengcai stroked his son's hair with his dirty hands, and said, "We are good people."

"Because we're good people, we don't eat people, right?"

"Yes, because we are good people, we have a fire in our hearts."

The two walked for about half an hour, watching the sky gradually darken.

They must immediately find a shelter to avoid the zombies at night.

Walking out of the forest, they saw several rural concrete houses next to the overgrown and abandoned farmland.

Xu Chengcai took his son over there. He was so hungry that he hadn't eaten much for three days.

This blizzard froze many plants and animals to death, making it difficult for them to find something to eat now.

The two walked through the field ridge and walked towards the houses.

Suddenly, Xu Chengcai stopped slightly, and he heard a small movement from the farmland.

"Wait for me!" Xu Chengcai put down his backpack, pulled out a short spear from the backpack, and said to his son.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Xiaoyong asked with some doubts because he didn't know why.

"Shh~" Xu Chengcai put his finger on his lips.

His eyes were like lightning, looking in the direction to the right of the field ridge.

He didn't take off his shoes and stepped directly on the farmland.

The soil in the farmland was very soft, and his right leg sank in the soil all of a sudden.

Xiaoyong saw that the sun had set, and the sky was turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye. They were at the foot of the mountain, the forest was steep, and the darkness seemed to be like a devil, devouring the sunlight.

He looked at his father anxiously, wanting to remind him that they had to go to that house earlier, and after they passed, they would definitely have to check and improve the protection of some houses.

It takes time.

But the father remained motionless, standing in the field.

Time seemed to stand still.

Sisi——

A voice came from the farmland, and immediately after, a huge snake with yellow and black patterns all over its body opened its mouth and bit towards Xu Chengcai.

"Be careful! There are snakes!" Xiaoyong shouted on the ridge, reminding his father.

It's too late, it's too soon.

whoosh-

The spear in Xu Chengcai's hand exploded and flew out, and the sharp spear head passed through the cauliflower snake's mouth, and flew back with the two-meter-long snake's body.

The snake's head was pierced, and its entire body was nailed to the other side of the field.

Half of the [-]cm short spears were stuck in the soil.

On the other side, Xiaoyong, who saw this thrilling scene, was excited and wanted to shout loudly, but he remembered his father's entrustment to him: don't speak loudly at night.

So he could only hold back and look at his father adoringly.

In his eyes, his father seemed to never fall down,

If not for myself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yong felt a little depressed.

Xu Chengcai walked slowly towards the short spear, and he struggled to pull his foot out of the muddy ooze.

Looking at the cauliflower snake whose body was still twisting, he slowly pulled out the short spear with his right hand.

The snake's head was completely penetrated by the short spear, and when the short spear was pulled out, the snake's head was also pulled out.

He inserted the short spear and the snake's head into the relatively hard soil nearby, then took a dagger from his waist, and cut off the entire snake's head.

Then he wrapped the snake body around the short spear and walked slowly towards his son.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Xu Chengcai had a happy face, and they had dinner tonight.

This cauliflower snake is quite fat, and it is not poisonous, so it can be eaten!

Picking up the backpack on the ground, the two walked towards the houses.

When the two came to the gates of these houses, it was already dark.

Xu Chengcai stuffed the snake he had just captured into his backpack, and then holding a short spear, motioned for his son to follow behind him.

The houses in front of me were dilapidated, and the windows were broken.

The door frame was also decayed and fell to the ground.

Xu Chengcai took out a hand-cranked flashlight and turned on the light.

Walked in from the door.

The door fell to the ground, and he could directly illuminate the situation inside with the light. He saw a divine cabinet in the center of the hall, and a statue of a god was placed on it.

It's just that the statue is covered with dust, and a piece of the statue's arm is broken.

There were only a few short sticks of incense on the censer, which had obviously burned to the point that only wood remained.

The hall was in a mess, and it was obvious that someone had searched the place long ago.

Xu Chengcai searched the house, and then took his son up to the second floor.

The second floor was renovated with some tile floors but the floor was covered in dirt and dust and sawdust everywhere.

There was a sofa on the second floor, and the sofa was covered with volcanic ash that had drifted in. Xu Chengcai tore the sofa vigorously, revealing the wooden frame inside.

I will use this to burn later, Xu Chengcai thought so.

"Dad, come here quickly!" At some point, his son left his side and ran into a room.

Xu Chengcai became nervous for a moment, and rushed in the direction of his son's voice.

This was apparently the owner's bedroom of the house, wardrobe, broken dresser.

Xiaoyong stared blankly at a corpse on the bed, Xu Chengcai glanced at it, and then said to his son angrily, "Why did I tell you not to leave me two meters away, why did you come in by yourself?" What if there are zombies?"

Xu Chengcai's tone was a bit fierce, and Xiaoyong lowered his head when he heard it.

Seeing him like this, Xu Chengcai didn't speak any more, then walked to the bed and lifted the covers.

After being opened, the corpse had decayed, leaving only bones.

He looked at it, and then put the quilt back.

Seeing that there was no panic expression on his son's face, he sighed slightly. In this last world, Xiaoyong followed him and had seen everything.

He didn't look at the skeleton again, but searched in the cabinet in the room and found a blanket.

The blanket was well preserved, so he took it out and covered his son's shoulders.

Although the temperature has risen recently, it is still a bit cold at night, only a few degrees.

Xu Chengcai searched the house again, and after finding no zombies, he took an iron bucket and fetched some water outside.

When returning to this building, at the door, an iron wire was used to wrap a few broken bowls found in the room as a warning.

Although the glass of the door and window was broken, the windows on the first floor had wooden railings, so zombies couldn't get in.

The iron wires placed here can remind them if zombies come and they hear the sound.

Xu Chengcai took his son to the second floor, dismantled the sofa, and lit the wood with a flint.

Xiaoyong watched his father operate and wrote down how his father did it.

The flames were burning, and Xu Chengcai was disposing of the cauliflower snake's body on a wooden board. His ability to use the dagger was superb, and he disassembled the snake in two or three strokes.

After a brief wash with water, he held an iron can and hung it above the fire.

Throwing the snake into the iron pot to stew like this, after thinking about it, he took out some lichens he picked during the day and threw them directly into the iron pot.

This lichen is a symbiont of moss and fungus, both of which are edible, so the lichen is also edible, and tastes like a common vegetarian dish with a hint of mushrooms.Lichen has high nutritional value, rich in various amino acids and minerals, and the high calcium content is rare in vegetables.

There was a faint roar of a zombie, and Xu Chengcai knew that the zombie was at least two kilometers away from them.

At night, everything is silent, and the roar of zombies seems to be the only sound in the night, so it can be heard far away.

Gollum-

Xu Chengcai looked at his son, looking expectantly at the lichen snake soup in the tin can. In the firelight, he smiled and said, "It will be ready soon. There are a lot of parasites on snakes, so we have to eat it." You have to cook it to eat."

In the past, he didn't have time to spend with his son, but after the end of the world, the whole family is left with their father and son.

The two depend on each other for life, and the relationship between father and son has increased a lot.

And every time, Xu Chengcai would seize the time to educate his son with what he knew.

I am afraid that one day, when I am gone, my son will still be able to live in this world.

The water boiled, and boiled for about 10 minutes.

Xu Chengcai took two wooden sticks, picked up the tin can, and then gave half to his son, while he took the tin can directly and picked up the snake meat with the chopsticks he had just cut from a dagger.

The snake meat was boiled a little loose, and it couldn't hold much at all.

But he was very patient and slowly picked out the snake's bones bit by bit.

"Eat slowly, be careful of the snake bones!" He reminded Xiaoyong when he saw Xiaoyong drinking from the basin in a hurry.

"Delicious!" Under the firelight, Xiaoyong's face was full of satisfaction.

With a smile on the corner of Xu Chengcai's mouth, he shook his head, holding the tin can, and wanted to pour some more into his son's basin.

But Xiaoyong refused.

Seeing the firmness on his face, Xu Chengcai's nose tingled slightly.

did not speak.

After eating the hot lichen snake soup.

The night is dangerous, for safety, the two take turns to be on duty.

Xu Chengcai was on duty in the first half of the night, and Xiaoyong was on duty in the second half of the night.

Looking at the face of his son sleeping on his lap, Xu Chengcai's eyes were full of strong fatherly love.

"You are my everything! You are the motivation for me to live." Xu Chengcai murmured in his heart.

This apocalypse is too difficult, it is difficult for an adult to survive, let alone he has to take care of a child.

You know, when the end of the world just broke out, Xiaoyong was less than seven years old.

That is to say, as a member of the top special forces team like him, with strong combat effectiveness, he was able to bring a child and still live until now.

Looking at the swaying fire, he thought of the past.

I thought of Lao Qin, the big ant, and the captain.

He didn't know where to go next, all he knew was to keep going.

Perhaps, it would be better to go south, at least the weather would be warmer.

He also didn't want to join any forces, because people from some forces couldn't figure out whether they were good people or bad people. It's been so long since the end of the world, and he hasn't seen a few good people.

Sometimes, some survivors not only want to take your supplies, but also want to eat your flesh.
