Chapter 36: Farming in the End of the World
The three drove back to the villa and saw from a distance that the lawn on the right had been more than half cleared, and several people in the field were also following Uncle Li to learn how to hoe the land.
It was a waste of talent to let these college students hoe the land, but there was no other way. In the doomsday, food was life.
The people in the car stopped from a distance, and Xiao Qiang drove in front of them.
"You hoeed quite well, look what we brought back, and we can improve our meals tonight." Xiao Qiang stuffed the cigarettes to Uncle Li and Uncle Cui and said to everyone.
"Okay, Qiangzi, you know that your Uncle Li and I like this. Huh, there's also wine." Uncle Cui smiled and opened a box of cigarettes, took a puff and said.
"I said don't let these kids do it, but these kids insisted on helping. We old bones can do this job, you should rest more so that you can go kill those monsters." Uncle Li also said sincerely.
"Uncle Li, we love to work. It's so interesting to work with everyone. It's much better than when we were in college." Li Wei said while wiping her sweat.
"Xiaowei, look at your face full of mud. Wipe it off quickly and see what delicious food Wang Peng brought you." Lin Bingyan teased Li Wei while wiping her face, and Wang Peng next to her blushed.
Listening to the laughter of several people, Xiao Qiang didn't see Yang Xue, so he asked: "Where is Yang Xue, why don't you see her?"
Although there was no explicit rule among the few people, everyone worked on their own initiative, and no one would say anything even if Yang Xue didn't work, but at this time everyone was there, but Yang Xue was the only one who didn't see her, and Yang Xue was not an unreasonable person, so Xiao Qiang was a little confused.
"She said she was going to make an alarm device and install it around the villa." Wang Liang answered.
Xiao Qiang smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He said to the few people: "Everyone should take a break, go back to unload the things, and prepare to cook."
After hearing what Xiao Qiang said, the few people packed up their things and went home talking and laughing. If you don't go out to the park, you can see zombies all over the street. No one dares to believe that this peaceful and harmonious scene is in the end of the world.
Back to the villa, Xiao Qiang found Yang Xue while others were cleaning up.
She was squatting on the ground, winding copper wire around a place one meter away from the villa, and finally passing through a square device to conduct the wire ends to two mobile phones.
"What is this thing and what is it used for?" Xiao Qiang couldn't help asking.
"You don't understand even if I tell you. You just need to know that when zombies come, the mobile phone will sound a music alarm, provided that the mobile phone is always charged. The conditions are simple, so it can only be done like this." Yang Xue looked at Xiao Qiang and answered.
"I've always been curious, why do you do these?" Xiao Qiang said to Yang Xue with interest.
"Hobby!" Yang Xue rarely smiled, and ignored Xiao Qiang after speaking, and directly picked up the phone and walked back to the villa.
Back to the villa, Xiao Qiang took advantage of the time when everyone was cooking to check the supplies in the villa.
Among them: 5 large bags of flour, 3 small bags of millet, 3 barrels of oil, 2 large bags of beverages and mineral water, and various breads, milk, canned goods, etc., but only two meals of vegetables are left. The entire supplies are enough for several people to eat for more than one month.
Let's take a look at the weapons and equipment at home: Xiao Qiang has a thousand-machine umbrella and a bone spur dagger, Lin Bingyan has a pistol, Wang Peng has a crossbow, and Li Chong has a fire axe and Wang Liang has a steel fork. The rest of the people have no weapons, and the remaining ones are some farm tools. In critical situations, they can be used as weapons.
However, seeing that there is only one barrel of gasoline left, Xiao Qiang is already worried, and at the same time he is determined to get some gasoline.
While eating, Xiao Qiang said while several people were sitting together: "I just calculated that we have enough food at present. But the weapons and gasoline are a bit insufficient, especially gasoline. We need it in too many places. Can you see if there is any place where we can get some gasoline?"
"There is a small gas station in the village. In the past few years, the mine was developed and there were many cars in the village, so there was a gas station. However, it is easy to encounter long-tongued zombies in the deep of the village." Li Chong stuffed a mouthful of pig's trotters and said to Xiao Qiang while chewing.
"That won't work. It's too dangerous. Don't rush in before getting rid of the long-tongued zombies." Lin Bingyan said beside Xiao Qiang.
"I don't agree to enter the village casually. The situation last time was too dangerous. I was worried about you two all night." Wang Liang also agreed.
"Speaking of the gas station, when we burned the zombie with gasoline, there was a gas station on the way back." Yang Xue, who was silent on the side, suddenly said.
At that time, after burning the zombies, several people were still in shock and only focused on escaping, but did not pay attention to the roadside. At this moment, when they heard Yang Xue talking, they were also surprised.
"How far is it from here?" Xiao Qiang looked at Yang Xue and asked.
"About 1,000 meters." Yang Xue said.
"Okay, this afternoon, we will go to the gas station to check and try to get as much gasoline as possible." Xiao Qiang glanced at everyone and said.
