after tomorrow is the end

Chapter 3 Alexei
boom!A gunshot!
The splashed blue blood splashed onto Li Jie's face, and his ears were buzzing. He didn't know how many times he saw a zombie headshot at close range today.

"Hey! Can you hear me! Come this way!" A baritone voice rang out, which shocked Li Jie. It was a human voice.

Li Jie looked up to find the source of the voice, and he was about to burst into tears with excitement.

"Child! Here!" On the hillside, a well-proportioned middle-aged man wearing a one-eyed mask waved to him.

Li Jie quickly ran up the hillside.

"Uh huh..." From under the truck, a zombie stood up staggeringly again. When it saw Li Jie, it was like seeing a delicious meal. Uh huh, it rushed over.

"Hurry up!" Bang!boom!The middle-aged man shot repeatedly, killing the zombies chasing Li Jie.

Stepping...stepping... Li Jie ran and climbed up the hillside, his heart was pounding, today was a day full of thrills, challenging his nerves all the time.

"Let's find a safe place for the time being to talk!" The uncle looked experienced and knew that the violent explosion of the truck would definitely attract the surrounding zombies.

Tata...Tata...the two ran on the mountain road one behind the other.

"Follow me!" The uncle didn't forget to look back at Li Jie, who was so tired that he was out of breath, and the physical strength of the young man was not as good as that of a middle-aged man.

"Okay, it's safe here for the time being." The uncle ran to hide behind a broken car, beckoning Li Jie to come and hide.

"Thank you...thank you for saving me..." Li Jie was out of breath, his face pale.

"You're welcome, I saw a car explode, so I came over to have a look. I have to help each other in the wild. My name is Alexei, and I'm looking for one of my buddies. We got separated..." Said finally, Alex Xie is obviously a little depressed, it seems that he has been looking for it for a long time.Generally, the longer a situation like this drags on, the more hopeless it becomes.

"My name is Li Jie, and I have two companions..." Speaking of this, Li Jie's eyes dimmed, and he didn't know the names of his companions until now, feeling ashamed in his heart.

"I only saw two zombies, maybe they... don't be sad, kid." Alexei patted Li Jie's shoulder to comfort him.

"No...impossible...impossible...they..." Li Jie's eyes were moist. Although they had only known each other for less than an hour, what they experienced between them was the protection of life!
"Son, I really want to comfort you, but now is not the time. I'm not sure how many infected people there are in this area. You should make a machete for self-defense first, and then we can discuss it in the long run." Alexei may be surprised, He was always vigilant about his surroundings, scanning the surrounding grass from the corner of his eyes.

"Okay." Li Jie nodded. He also felt that he should do something. To survive in this last world, he had to rely on himself to forge iron.

"I'll lend you a pickaxe and an ax first. Go, be careful. I'll stay here and see if the car can be repaired." Alexey took out a stone ax and a stone from his backpack. The pickaxe was handed to Li Jie.

"Here, this is the formula for the machete. It's very simple after you understand it." Alexei seemed to see that Li Jie was a fledgling, and even took care of such small details.

"Thank you...thank you..." Li Jie reached out for the tools and formula. He understood that if this place is really like the day after tomorrow in his memory, then the formula is extremely scarce, which is equivalent to black technology in the last days.

When he came to an open place, Li Jie took out the machete formula from his backpack, and with a handful of hands, he recorded the formula in his system.

Only after learning the formula, Li Jie can query the production method in the formula function:
Ordinary machetes have certain power, with attack power of 26.0 and weapon firepower of 3.6.

The required materials are 600 wood, 150 stone, 15 hemp, and 4 iron ore.

However, Li Jie noticed that in the mission prompt, he only needs to collect 60 wood, 30 stone, and 2 hemp.

"Hey, system, why do you only need to collect such a small amount of materials?" Li Jie called out the system, wondering in his heart, this is hardly [-]% of the required materials.

"What's the matter? Are you not happy to save it? Then do as you want!" The cold system voice from last time appeared again.

"Don't, don't, it's good, it's good, hehe." Li Jie said hurriedly, jokingly, he would be a fool not to take advantage of this big deal, and this is probably compensation for having only a cheap life.

"Come on, work has started!" Li Jie first picked up the stone ax and gestured, searched around, selected a big tree, and went straight to it.

He picked up the stone ax and pointed it at the big tree, boom boom boom... wood +12... wood +24... wood +60.The amount of logging is cumulative. A tree can be cut down with an axe to get 12 logs, and a total of 60 logs can be obtained when the tree is cut down.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jie switched to a pickaxe to quarry stones, blah, blah, blah... stone +6... stone +12... stone +30.It is also accumulated in the same way, and a total of 30 stones are obtained from a quarry.

"Picking hemp..." Li Jie searched for hemp leaves in the grass. Unlike players, he has a small radar that can locate markers and display nearby resources.

"Found it!" Li Jie wiped the sweat off his forehead. He didn't collect it lightly, but carefully observed the shape of the hemp leaves so that he could spot them in the grass at a glance in the future.

Ma +3.

"It's done!" After finishing all the materials, Li Jie began to think about how to make a machete.

"Could it be that I made it myself? That would be troublesome..." Li Jie took out the tablet, opened the recipe on the panel, and the only machete recipe lay on the screen.

"Wood...stone...hemp...these things are all ready, but there is no introduction on how to make them..." Li Jie and his wife stared at the recipe for a long time. Come to this apocalyptic world, should they still let themselves learn to make by hand?He admitted that he didn't have that talent.

"Huh? There's a production button here? Do you want to click on it?" Li Jie suddenly found that there was a "production" under the recipe, and then reached out to click on it.

Didi...Inspecting...All materials are detected, and production begins...

"Huh? Sure enough, black technology!" Li Jie was overjoyed, and finally he didn't have to worry about future production issues.

Didi...Ding!

The finished machete automatically fell into the backpack, and Li Jie happily took the machete out of the backpack to gesture.

"It's okay...it's a little short..." Li Jie frowned, but he wished it had the length of a machete.

"Okay, it's time to go back. I don't know if Alexei has repaired the car." Li Jie put the machete behind his waist with his backhand, and was about to go back.

There was a rustling sound... Suddenly there seemed to be something in the grass on one side!
Li Jie was so frightened that he quickly lowered his body and stood ready with a machete in his hand.

As time passed by, Li Jie didn't dare to make a sound, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to wipe it off.

He could feel that there was a pair of sharp eyes in the grass, staring at him closely!

"Gulu..." Li Jie swallowed dryly, and beads of sweat slid down his eyelids with a slight trembling.

Li Jie subconsciously closed his eyes...

With a whoosh, the object in the grass was as fast as lightning, and it directly threw Li Jie down!
