Doom Bakery

Chapter 23 Building Bamboo Walls
The villagers' persuasion plan in Shangtian Village is in progress, mainly Lin Kai goes out, occasionally bringing me, Jiayang or Dad along.The sound is louder when there are more people, and it is more convenient to move when there are fewer people.

Through interviews with various households, we learned that there are currently 32 people and [-] households still alive in Shangtian Village.It was about the same number as Lin Kai speculated before.

Lao Ma is a widower, living alone, and his children are not around.When Lin Kai went to look for him, he was so moved that he agreed to listen to the arrangement of the "leader" (Lin Kai).

Some of the rest of the residents immediately agreed to cooperate because they saw that there were survivors; some could see that there were people in the house, but they never opened the door, probably because they were afraid that we would be robbers or zombies would come in, and they needed to go a few more times; directly refused, saying that they did not need help and hoped that their family had enough food.

Ling Ling finally figured it out, and there are already 14 people who are willing to cooperate.However, these residents expressed concern about the zombies outside, and some residents' stocks in their homes were running low.

So building a wall is imminent.

Zombie Outbreak No.40 for five days.

The rainy season is not over yet, and this day is still rainy, and the house is full of wet clothes, because the drying rack on the second floor has not been able to dry at all, so the day before yesterday, Dad and Lin Kai ventured out to cut a bamboo and came back. Also brought back some bamboo shoots.

"I saw a sharp point next to the bamboo. When I dug it down, a lot of spring bamboo shoots grew! I just chopped a few and brought them back!" Dad said proudly.

Eight people sat around the dining table. It had been a long time since I ate any fresh vegetables other than those from the vegetable garden. I found the pickled mustard that I stocked up on earlier, and fried it with fresh bamboo shoots. It was simply delicious.

After dinner, Dad started to make bamboo poles for drying clothes, and planned to hang them in the living room, so that there would be more places to dry clothes.

While peeling the skin of the bamboo with a hatchet, my father talked about how he learned to make bamboo mats and baskets from his grandfather when he was a child.

Since the beginning of the Shangtian Village project five or six days ago, we have not thought of a good way to build a good way to isolate Shangtian Village and Xiashui Village.The weather is occasionally sunny and occasionally rainy. It is difficult to build a wall with a shovel. Even if you avoid the zombies and pile up some soil, it will be washed away by the rain the next day.

So so far, I have no idea about the construction of the wall, but my father gave me a little idea when he talked about weaving bamboo.

"Should we weave bamboo for the wall?" I asked several people in the family with my eyes, and they all cast doubtful glances at me.

"Just like weaving bamboo mats, weave a wall, but it doesn't need to be too fine. The zombies we have observed so far have no vision, and they don't know how to bend or go upstairs..."

After listening to my introduction, my father showed a hint of appreciation, "Hey, this is a good idea!"

"I think it's okay too!" Lin Kai followed up and said: "I just want to go out today and look for those people who don't open the door. By the way, I'll ask Lao Ma if they can weave bamboo mats."

Jia Yang gave a "hmm" and said, "Don't worry, you can try it on the open space in front of the bakery."

After it was decided, we went up to the mountain to chop bamboo. The only annoying thing was that we had to wear a battle suit that was thickly smeared with zombie blood every time we went out.Cutting bamboo and weaving bamboo mats are very easy to scratch some small wounds on the body. Once the blood of zombies touches the wound, it will be infected like Jiayang’s father, so we have been very careful, wearing gloves and high-necked clothes to block all skin.

Dad concentrates on cutting bamboo at home. A bamboo as thick as an adult's arm can be cut into many thin strips.The "bamboo wall" we imagined (let's call it this name~) is not much different from bamboo mats, and the bamboo used is not too much. Three bamboos are enough to make five or six small "bamboo walls".

We worked on the mountain for a long time, removed the paper strips next to the bamboo, sawed them into sections, moved them down slowly, and moved them home, just to avoid the attention of the zombies. It took a lot of effort and a lot of effort. time.

Fortunately, we repaired the two houses together before the zombies broke out, otherwise we would not be able to fit so many bamboos.Long bamboos are brought in from the back door of the house, across the vegetable garden, and through the door connecting the bakery to the vegetable garden.

Dad taught us how to weave while weaving. Jiayang’s mother, my mother, Lin Kai, and Jiayang weaved a “bamboo wall” respectively.We started working separately, and the speed was much faster.

Happy to see us weaving bamboo and playing with thin bamboo strips.

At the beginning, weaving was still a little unfamiliar. After two days, several people finally weaved the "bamboo wall" that can surround the open space in front of the bakery. Jia Yang went to the warehouse to take out the thin wire that he had hoarded before.

Fence the open space in front of the bakery at night when the rain falls and the zombies move slowly.

The next day, facing the suddenly besieged open space, the zombies seemed to sense the obstruction in the way ahead, and gradually stopped passing by.We piled up the previous zombie limbs next to it, covering up our smell.

On the third day, we opened the bakery door and closed the door between the vegetable garden and the bakery.Half a day passed, and no zombies broke in.We tried walking out of the bakery again and wandering around in the open space, which, to our surprise, didn't attract the attention of the zombies at all.

The "bamboo wall" we woven is two to three meters high, which perfectly blocks the zombies outside.Through the gaps in the "bamboo wall", I can still see the zombies wandering outside. Their bodies gradually become thinner, like very old people. Now I no longer feel afraid when I see them.

Lin Kai told the villagers of Shangtian Village the news.Families who were unwilling to open their doors before are now willing to join us and build a bamboo wall with us to separate Shangtian Village from Xiashui Village.

At present, there are already 21 people in Shangtian Village who are willing to cooperate with us, and about ten people who can weave "bamboo walls".

In order to speed up the protection of Shangtian Village, we quickly entered the work of weaving the "bamboo wall". Every morning we woke up and started cutting bamboo, splitting it into bamboo strips for weaving.

To avoid the flow of people and attract the attention of the zombies, Lin Kai and Jia Yang exploded the heads of a few zombies, and informed the villagers of the way to go out for activities, so that the villagers can act on their own.

A week has passed, and most of the previously planned wall has been completed.There are several houses in the middle of the planned wall, but the people inside have turned into zombies.We closed the doors and windows facing Xiashui Village as part of the wall. Considering that it may be used later, we did not lock the other side.

We considered that the "bamboo wall" can block zombies, but we didn't think that it couldn't stop people with evil intentions.
