It is said that some bases now only allow people with abilities to enter the base, and the rest of the people are not allowed to enter the base at all if they cannot provide a certain amount of food and supplies. Even if those people are family members of the anomalies, they need to pay at least a certain amount of crystal nuclei, otherwise they will have to live in makeshift houses outside the base - building them by hand.

And living in those houses, once the base is besieged by zombies, those people have little chance of surviving. Not all bases have the size of the Southwest Base and their defenses.

Therefore, in order to maintain the position of the leader of the first base in China, the southwest base needs to fight fires as much as possible.

What made their group of bigwigs even more headache was that ...... appeared in the moat outside the city Zombie fish.

In fact, it is not only the newly dug small broken river outside that has this strange thing, but also in the nearby river, and even the drinking water originally used in the base...... It seems that it is also because of this kind of zombie fish that the zombie virus in the water has increased significantly.

Now that the base's drinking water is supplied by the water system powers, the price of water has begun to skyrocket. The value of the water type ability has also increased by an unknown number of times, and it has become one of the sought-after abilities in the base.

Luo Xun and the others have become busy now, not all because of the work at the base, but because it is September, and the crops at home have begun to be harvested.

Naturally, there is no need to mention the green leafy vegetables that are often planted and harvested in all seasons, and those long-term crops are now ready to be harvested one after another. It's only mid-September, and they have to wait for another half a month to a month for the mass harvest, but they now need to harvest one after another, divide and dry some of the crops that need to be stored for a long time after returning home every day.

For the past two days, everyone has been running home as soon as they get off work - you can't let two ladies take a child to deal with these things every day, right? These men are the serious heavy workers in the family.

Don't think about all kinds of fruits this year, all the fruit trees in the family are almost impossible to bear fruit in the first year, and Luo Xun didn't expect them to produce any fruit in the first year, so he raised and pruned the apple trees, orange trees and other things at home, so that they could be as coarse as possible and not grow too tall - the main thing is that the height of the roof is limited, and the roof can't be punctured for these things, right?

Although there are almost no fruits harvested this year except watermelon, in fact, the various vegetables they planted are enough to supplement various vitamins and ensure everyone's nutrition.

After coming back that day, Luo Xun took Yan Fei and Xu Mei and Song Lingling together to start - picking and drying eggplants.

In the first two days, they had dried some eggplants that were basically ripe and had not yet grown old, after all, although there was a place available on their outer wall, they could not dry so many things at the same time at once, so they could only harvest some and process some, and then take advantage of the morning to sell vegetables and dispose of some - they couldn't get out last month because of the zombie siege, but this month they had to go out and take a look at the situation, so they had to deal with these things at home in advance to save them in case they broke down.

Dried vegetables such as dried eggplant are good things to supplement the types of meals on everyone's table in winter and spring. It's a pity that everyone doesn't have meat to eat now, otherwise using these dried vegetables to stew meat, the taste will definitely make people's mouths water when they think about it.

"No one is looking for trouble today, is there?" Autumn is a good harvest season, and it is a good time for those who usually hang around in the base and steal chickens and dogs.

Luo Xun and the others have been vigilant since the first day when they started drying things, for fear of attracting thieves.

"No, the shutters outside our house are relatively dense, and it's hard to see what's hanging inside from the outside." Song Lingling laughed when she heard this.

Yan Fei made out the blinds only from a specific angle to see the things inside, these days there are more things that need to be dried at home, so they took off some of the solar panels hanging on the wall and hung out these things that need to be dried.

Fortunately, there have only been a few rains at the base recently, and the sun is usually very strong, so it didn't delay anything.

Xu Mei also sighed with a smile: "When I went out today, I heard that a family on the first floor of the community was robbed again, his family usually planted something in the window, and someone broke the glass and almost stole it a few days ago, and the garlic they just collected was also stolen by the window in the past two days." ”

These days, the food in the base has become more and more difficult, and even the farmland of the base has been crawled in and stolen in the middle of the night one after another, let alone outside?

Luo Xun shook his head slightly and sighed: "Usually the two of you are at home, be careful, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be eyeing our family for a long time." "It's winter again, and not everyone is as prepared and planted as their own team, although they have a bit of a "bad reputation" for catching thieves here before, but there is no guarantee that there will be hungry people who will be ruined. "Our rice will be harvested next month, and maybe someone will be eyeing us then."

They can now only harvest and crush the husks in the traditional way, and they also need to dry them before storage, so as not to become moldy and rotten during storage. This year, they have planted a lot of rice, in case they are targeted...... Then there will be a lot of excitement.

"Don't worry, we are all at home during the day, and we will never let us lose a grain of food!" Xu Mei solemnly assured that they knew the severity of these things, most of the food they eat now was exchanged from the military, and Luo Xun also stored some at home, and successively took it out for everyone as rations, this year's batch of rice is probably everyone's rations for the next half a year or so, in case of an accident, everyone will be hungry by then.

Several people were standing or sitting at the big table, Song Lingling took Xiao Xinran to clean the vegetables, Luo Xun cut the eggplant into large slices, and Xu Mei and Yan Fei took the thread to thread the eggplant slices in turn.

In such weather, if these things are exposed to the sun for a day, most of the moisture in them can evaporate. After drying, put it into a bag made of non-woven fabric for preservation, which is breathable and cool, so you don't have to worry about getting dirty and moldy.

Now some of the bags that everyone uses to store these things were collected and purchased by Luo Xun before the end of the world, and the other part was slowly exchanged for the points that everyone earned. Like the solar panels they now hang on the outside of the walls, like the stacks of batteries and other things in the house, they're all the team's public property.

Li Tie and the others returned home at about six o'clock in the evening, and they came back directly after dinner in the cafeteria. Seeing that there were only four of them entering the door, Luo Xun, who had already cut all the eggplants, asked casually, "Zhang Su is working overtime again today?" ”

"I don't know, Zhang Su sent a text message saying that he had something to do at night and had to come back later, Wang Duo stayed and waited for him, and we came back first to help you."

The eggplant slices had already been skewered to the end, Luo Xun clapped his hands and handed over the work to the four of them, and got up and went to the window to inspect the vegetables that had been dried outside for a few days.

pinched it with his hand, and felt that the dryness was about the same, and then Luo Xun nodded with satisfaction: "Put them in for a while, and then dry these out." ”

"Brother Luo, when can we make pickles?" He Qiankun suddenly licked his lips and asked, there is actually no shortage of pickles to eat in the base. Pickles are a good thing, especially when the amount of grains and vegetables is relatively small. Put more salt in it, not to mention the less consumption, but also improve the flavor and replenish the salt.

But only if they are delicious!

Many dishes in the barracks canteen have now been replaced by various pickles, pickled radish is considered a dish, pickled cucumber is also a dish, but these pickles have no advantage except "salty"! Not to mention the wilting taste, many vegetables are still made of unpalatable mutated vegetables after the end of the world, and the texture and taste are ...... It's hard to swallow.

Luo Xun laughed, turned around and said, "Wait for the vegetables that our family can pickle to be harvested, why do you need to do it after the materials are not ready?" "Luo Xun knows several ways to pickle pickles, including pure salty, pickled pickles, and sauerkraut and kimchi. The methods are very simple, and they are basically the methods he has used in his previous life, and they are not difficult to operate. One of the most troublesome is naturally the pickles, which have to have enough sauce to be pickled repeatedly, and now the sauce in their hands is ...... Only Luo Xun survived before the end of the world. It is said that there are not many such things in the base, and you can only get all kinds of salt when you go to the exchange window.

Li Tie hurriedly raised his hand: "Do you want to change more salt in the next few days?" ”

"Okay, we don't have too much of that thing, and it can't be broken anyway." Luo Xun nodded in support, although the base was almost never short of salt in his previous life, but sometimes the price of this thing fluctuates, and saving some at home can also prevent accidents.

Li Tie and they are back, Luo Xun and Xu Mei can go back to eat separately. The little guy who waged his tail all the way back to the sixteenth floor, and after dinner, the two of them went back to the fifteenth floor to help collect the things hanging out of the window and hang out the newly skewered eggplant.

"Cowpeas and beans are almost growing." Luo Xun walked around the three rooms on the fifteenth floor, all planted with various crops, to study their maturity. Pointing to a metal shelf for planting, he said, "Make a mark on these ones, the crops inside are not harvested, so we have to keep the seeds." ”

Yan Fei didn't even lift his hand, and an "X" model appeared on all four sides of the shelves, indicating that the things in these shelves should not be moved.

Li Tie and the others stared at the cowpeas, beans and other things that were said to be harvested soon, they didn't know anything else, but they had eaten pickles pickled from cowpeas!

Luo Xun pointed to the vines full of cucumbers on the edge of the room: "The peppers at home are almost grown, let's make some cucumbers to eat." ”

"Good! Brother Luo, have you ever eaten the cucumbers in the base? It is said to be a cucumber mutation, and it is quite large and watery, but the taste of that thing is ...... It's like chewing sawdust......" The expression on He Qiankun's face, who was most entangled in the taste of food, distorted, and he pulled the clothes on his body with regret and sighed, "Since the end of the world, I have lost so much weight......"

Everyone looked at his shrunken face, He Qiankun had indeed lost weight, but his figure after losing weight was still much plumper than others, if his original waist circumference was as wide as Luo Xun's three and a half years, now he must have at least two and a half Luo Xun.

Wu Xin on the side patted He Qiankun's stomach and touched his waist again: "What are you?" My waist is almost slimmed to an A4 waist, and there is no pressure at all to touch my belly button with my backhand! As he spoke, he sighed and touched his face, "Why is there less oil and water, and beans are still popping on your face every day?" ”

Everyone was chatting while busy working, and Xu Mei, who was sitting at the door, hurriedly opened the door and went out after hearing the sound of metal colliding in the corridor. After a while, Zhang Su and the two followed Xu Mei into the door together.

"Why is it so late? Another major surgery? Luo Xun asked casually.

Zhang Su threw the bag in his hand into Wang Duo's arms, and snorted coldly: "Someone wants to invite a guest to dinner." ”

"Good thing, how much meat did you eat today?" Luo Xun glanced at him, he still carefully remembered the last time someone swept away all the leftovers on the table.

Zhang Su pouted unhappily: "I didn't eat it." ”

Wang Duo covered his mouth and snickered behind him, and when he saw that Zhang Su was unwilling to speak, he opened his mouth and explained while laughing: "Several groups of people got together, and in order to pull my family to eat, they faced each other at the entrance of the hospital, and finally fought...... We think they may not be able to finish for a while, so they will go straight to the cafeteria and come back after dinner. ”

Zhang Su has been a celebrity lately—from their hospital. Although he has been a big celebrity there before, but his current "fame" has given him an extra group of "admirers" who go around the hospital all day and night trying to get to know him, get acquainted with him, and finally hook him up.

This group of idlers wander around the hospital every day to have a "romantic" chance encounter with Zhang Sulai, but unfortunately there are more wolves and less meat, and these people often miss the best opportunity because they contain each other and no one can do it.

However, even if they didn't miss the opportunity, it would generally not end well, Zhang Su is not a fool, coupled with his queen temper of the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and the third in himself, who can get benefits in front of him?

So these people could only use their brains and try their best to send the best tempered and most oily people to talk to him. Most of the Chinese people who set relationships, unblock the doorway, and make friends are inseparable from the word "eat". Especially in the last days, how can ordinary people eat any good things? So there were more people who came to invite Zhang Su to dinner, and Zhang Su would not politely push out the food for nothing - if you invite me, you will eat, and if you eat, you are not drinking, and you are afraid of being drunk?

In addition, Wang Duo was afraid that his dear Highness would be abducted and run away, so every time someone wanted to invite Zhang Su to dinner, he would accompany him even if he didn't eat a bite all the way, so the food for these two people recently was obviously the best among the others in the team.

Zhang Su's personality Luo Xun They still know it, if he is so good to be trafficked, then everyone in the world is estimated to be sold to zombies as rations. With him with him, there will be no problems with Wang Duo. So everyone only takes these things as jokes and stories, and listens to them to relieve their boredom.

Wang Duo danced and told everyone about the lively scene when those people were fighting, Wang Duo and Zhang Su watched the excitement at the entrance of the hospital for a long time before Shi Shiran went to the cafeteria for dinner, so how many of those people were knocked down and carried into the hospital were all seen by them clearly.

Luo Xun listened for a while, then turned his head to Xu Mei and said, "In a few days, we will go out of the base once, in addition to continuing to harvest these crops in the next few days, we will have time to squeeze all the mushrooms into juice." ”

"Okay, we'll get it in the morning when we don't have anything to do." Xu Mei nodded and promised to complete the task.

In addition to mushroom juice and drying crops, Luo Xun and the others also need to deal with the vegetables that they take to the barracks to sell early the next morning. Now the price of raw vegetables is slightly higher, but the price of these things when the military buys them is ...... It's a little bit higher than the mutant plant.

After discovering this problem, Luo Xun and his team decided to temporarily reduce some of the fast-growing, short-harvested green leafy vegetables, and instead plant some crops that require a longer growth cycle. In addition to leaving what everyone needs to eat every day, only those who are afraid that they can't eat the rest will be sold at the barracks.

In fact, if Xu Mei and Song Lingling were asked to pull vegetables to the market every day to sell, they would have been able to sell at a relatively good price now, but considering that these two are both female team members, and now almost no one dares to go out alone with single women in the base, Luo Xun still feels that this money would rather not be earned for the time being - ordinary crops can still produce some in the base in the first year, but in the second and third years, they will gradually be replaced by mutated crops with faster growth cycles and larger yields. At that point, their belongings will be able to sell at a good price.

The two of them still pulled some vegetables to the cafeteria early the next morning to report. Seeing the purple eggplant loaded in the car, Captain Li came over with a bright light in his eyes, carefully sniffed and sniffed the incision on the eggplant, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, it's an ordinary eggplant!" ”

"Have you cultivated mutant eggplants in the base?" Luo Xun asked suspiciously, he hadn't eaten mutated eggplant in a big pot of rice at noon in the past few days.

"I sent a few baskets yesterday afternoon, and the taste is ......," Captain Li shook his head regretfully, "It's just a big size, similar to the eggplants that were ripened before the end of the world." And the scariest thing is that the eggplants are all blue! Who would dare to eat that color outside? He looked at the two of them with a smile, "If you still have some there, just send some more, there are many people thinking about this stuttering." ”

Luo Xun smiled: "We only got a few seeds from the base, and a few plants were planted in total, and we had to leave some remaining seeds." "Why do they insist on maintaining this path when the price is becoming more and more unsuitable when it is sold to the barracks? Isn't it because in case of severance of contacts, it will be difficult to contact the military in the future when the military raises the price to buy?

As it is now, although the number is small, the relationship between buyers and sellers is always maintained intermittently, and some things are easier to negotiate at that time.

Although Captain Li really wants to buy more of these original vegetables, he can't force others to take out all the vegetables at home when they say that his own output is small. What's more, it's not that the base is completely devoid of these vegetables now? Although most of those things are specially provided for certain leaders, and the people who handle the vegetables are also skilled chefs in the base, a professional counterpart like Captain Li will definitely be able to get through the middle, and it is not difficult to leave a little bit of a tooth sacrifice at that time.

After selling the vegetables and exchanging the crystal nucleus, the two came to the meeting place and waited together to take the car to the city wall of the outer base. When Luo Xun and the others arrived, the members of the same team were getting together to gossip.

"It is said that half of the men of a company are dead! The rest of the people were also injured and sent to the hospital! ”

Luo Xun and the others heard this sentence when they just arrived, and the two asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing that it was Luo Xun and the others who came, several people who were chatting and chatting hurriedly popularized it to them-"I heard that a team came back early this morning, and when they went out, there were more than 100 people, and I heard that only half of them came back alive!" The rest were wounded! ”

"What happened to them? Level 3 zombies? "The third-level zombies were actually encountered by everyone in the last defensive battle, but the scene was too chaotic at that time, even the third-level zombies didn't see anything special in the zombies, but they didn't understand how much difference there was between them and the first- and second-level zombies when they attacked.

Recently, however, I heard that many teams in the military have encountered these high-level zombies outside.

Another person hurriedly said, "I heard it's not a zombie!" They've met monsters! I don't know what kind of zombie animal it is, the eldest one, or I met it in the middle of the night, and I was almost wiped out! ”

Luo Xun and Yan Fei glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked, "What type of monster?" Any idea where you came across it? ”

They couldn't tell the exact information, except that the monster was tall and large, but it was said that these people were the monster they encountered on their way to a salt transfer center in the northeast of the city.

When everyone got into the car and headed towards the outer wall, Yan Fei discussed with Luo Xun in a low voice: "What do you think that thing will be?" ”

Luo Xun's expression was a little tangled: "Some high-level zombies and zombie animals will become relatively large, but if it is after the beginning of spring next year, there will be many mutant animals, and almost all of them will become very large in size and have abilities...... I didn't see that thing, and I didn't dare say what it would be. ”

Special Zombies, Mutated Animals......
