MTL - Reborn To The Start Of The Apocalypse To Farm-Chapter 34 Investigate the situation
The reason Wei Xuan prepared so carefully before going out was mainly because he needed to avoid not only the survivors who entered the city to find supplies, but also the survivors who stayed in T City, as well as the weird little zombie he met last time , and mutated plants that may suddenly mutate at any time.
The post-apocalyptic mutated plants are very weird, and they may not be seen in places where plants are still growing, but when humans pass by some ruins, some vines may suddenly pop up and involve humans.
What's more, in the last days, there are those mutant animals that Wei Xuan has never seen before, but has heard of their names.
Of course, if he is really lucky enough to meet a living mutated animal in the last days, maybe he who hasn't eaten fresh meat for a long time will really take a chance, kill the animal and bring it back to improve food.
I walked cautiously all the way in a direction I hadn't been to before, looking for suitable places to grow potatoes—there are still many such places. Most of the plants on the green space on both sides of the road have completely withered and decayed at this time, because the previous earthquake and the subsequent heavy rain caused many trees that completely withered and died after the end of the world to fall to the side of the road. There is still a lot of soil in the place at this time, and some things can be planted.
Wei Xuan didn't go out today to find any supplies, nor just to check the situation outside. The main purpose was to expand the growing space of these potatoes. Although he planted sparsely along the way, he quickly planted all the potato sprouts in the backpacks of the two of them.
Looking at the time, it was just around one o'clock in the afternoon. Wei Xuan, who was hungry from farming, searched around, found a bank in relatively good condition, and took Du Hang in to have a rest and have lunch.
The benches and counters in the bank are all well preserved, and there are two zombies dressed as lobby managers and some zombies who come here to handle business in the last days are wandering around. In the room behind the window, piles of hundred-yuan bills and a lot of blood were scattered on the table and on the ground before the end of the world.
Wei Weixuan sat on a bench by the window after confirming that the environment here was quiet and that there was nothing wrong. Du Hang, who had long been accustomed to his mode of action, also sat beside him very naturally. How warm would this scene look if the two were not the obvious combination of a zombie and a human?
But Wei Xuan didn't mind it at all, and Du Hang beside him didn't even mind.
Taking out the lunch prepared yesterday from his backpack, Wei Xuan began to eat his lunch contentedly. This was the first time in his two lives that he ate such food that could satisfy his appetite when he went out to act in the last days.
In the past, even if he could find some long-lasting items such as instant noodles, biscuits, and potato chips in the urban area, the best-tasting foods he could find were all kinds of canned food. After all, a lot of preservatives were added to those things No matter how delicious the food is, it is not as delicious as this kind of food that is specially prepared in advance, right?
Before going out today, he prepared mashed potato cakes. He added eggs that he found from the homes of people in the community, which would go bad soon if he didn’t eat them, into the steamed mashed potatoes, and then he added some dried sausages and a small amount of dried vegetables. Wait for things to soften, chop them and add them to mashed potatoes, add salt, black pepper and the like for seasoning, and then add some flour to increase the consistency, and then these mashed potatoes can be fried on a cake pan - practice and cola Biscuits are somewhat similar.
It tastes great when it's hot, and it's also great when it's cooled to eat out.
"Oh, sure enough, after finding the recipe, it's different from before... It's a pity that I didn't expect this at all before." Wei Xuan sighed while eating. I was injured, and I had to go out to find the supplies I needed, check the situation, etc., and I didn't take care of it at all, let alone think about other issues.
In the early days of the end of the world, there were still many websites still running! After the end of the world, he was able to get solar batteries and other equipment. How much trouble could he save by directly downloading a bunch of recipes and various reference books on his mobile phone?
It’s just that human beings are not omnipotent. Under the circumstances at that time, Wei Xuan felt that he had already done a good job, and he really didn’t have the heart to take care of other things. Fortunately, he can move freely in this city now, looking for everything that is useful. . Even if it is not as convenient as the Internet, many things can still be collected slowly as long as you find more places.
After lunch, Wei Xuan didn't intend to go back right away. He planned to take a short detour and go to the places where potatoes and carrots were planted in the early days of the end of the world, to see how the crops planted in those places are growing. Do I need to replant some more later?
After all, although he couldn't eat all the vegetables in those places by himself, there is no harm in having a variety of these things, and it can also green the post-apocalyptic city, and by the way, he can go around, so why not do it?
After checking it on the map, Wei Xuan got up and put on hats for himself and Du Hang, and walked out of the bank together with him by the hand.
The familiar streets in the past, after a zombie outbreak, an earthquake, and a few rains, even those who are most familiar with it can hardly recognize its former appearance.
Wei Xuan carefully bypassed all obstacles that might affect the two of them, and walked towards the place where he had planted potatoes and carrots earlier. These roads have become so difficult to move forward now, but Wei Xuan can only express his helplessness. Even if he has enough energy, he doesn't have the energy to clean up the garbage in the whole city - until now, he hasn't even cleaned out the neighborhood where he lives!
But even if he didn't finish it, there was a lot of **** piled up in the **** dump a little far outside the community, and now Wei Xuan had to go around that place when he went out.
Of course, Wei Xuan also thought about whether it would be better to simply change the place of the garbage dump and burn it with a fire?
But after several rains, he doesn't have the courage and... sense of smell to get close to it.
Surrounding the city and streets full of all kinds of debris, Wei Xuan finally found the place where he once planted the pile of potatoes.
Not every plant that is planted can grow fully. After the earthquake and rain, the place where things were planted before may not necessarily still grow honestly in place when viewed afterwards.
Wei Xuan has a good memory. This kind of good memory allows him to roughly remember where these things were once planted, and he can also use his experience in growing potatoes and carrots in his own community to judge what kind of situation is that these things have not sprouted at all. ? After the earthquake, what will cause the grown potato sprouts to move and continue to grow? It is better to judge under what circumstances these things were dug out of the soil...
"...Someone has been here before." Looking at the scattered potatoes in a piece of green land, Wei Xuan carefully looked around to the left and back, and checked Du Hang's reaction, seeing that he didn't find anything " Food" signs - those who poached the potatoes were not in this generation, at least not at this time.
However, they are very likely to be survivors who remained in the city after the end of the world. As for how they found these potatoes? It is not known how Wei Xuan, who was able to escape the zombies digging potatoes all over the street, was able to do so.
However, Wei Xuan was not angry or unhappy when he found that the vegetables he had planted had been poached. After all, he had planted these things outside in the first place, on the one hand, he planned in advance for himself and prepared a variety of them as reserves. At that time, he didn't think that other people would accidentally discover these vegetables, dig them up, or live off them...
To be honest, although Wei Xuan is unwilling to take the initiative to communicate with, cooperate with, or even rescue the remaining survivors in the city, if he can help others within his capacity, he would rather Willing to do it.
After all, he is a human being, and those people are also human beings. As long as the other party doesn't hurt Du Hang or himself, he doesn't mind leaving a glimmer of life for others, just as although he also collects supplies, he never goes where those people might go place, move everything at once.
Patting his trouser legs stained with mud, Wei Xuan stood up: "Let's go, don't look here, go to other places." There are signs of human activities here, so even if those people just pass by here, he would Just be careful and make no big mistakes and think of avoiding here for the time being.
The potatoes did show signs of being dug up, but not all the potatoes had been dug up. Maybe those people didn't have time to dig them all up, or maybe they kept them on purpose, hoping that the remaining potatoes would continue to grow well and come back later. No matter what the reason is, Wei Xuan treats this incident as "a base where survivors live nearby".
Therefore, bypassing here is his wisest choice now.
After leaving this area, Weiweixuan went to some places. Although the potatoes in other places did not grow, they obviously did not look like they had been dug.
When he walked to a street to the north, he could not help raising his eyebrows as he vaguely looked at the situation of a certain high-rise residential area in the distance: "What is that?"
What seems to be on top of those upper floors? It seems that several buildings are linked together by something.
Wei Xuan hurriedly took out the binoculars in his backpack and looked over there carefully, then gasped—on the top of those high-rise buildings, there were artificially built "bridges"! Actually connected several buildings with those things!
Wei Xuan can tell without guessing that those "bridges" connecting several buildings are definitely built by the abilities created by the elemental abilities! In other words, there must be survivors living in that high-rise!
