Chapter 251: Warm Winter

By the time the first snowflakes fell, there was hardly a single mutant animal to be seen outside the otaku team's base. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After that, from light snow to heavy snow, the first snow of winter fell steadily for four days.

Originally, Luo Xun and the others were worried that if their base was too warm, would the snow falling on the roof and other places melt due to the high temperature and be exposed after being photographed by satellites? But the truth told them that no matter how high the temperature in their house was, it could not withstand the heavy snow that had been falling for several days, and although the snow on the roof of their house was destined to be thinner than the rest of the world, it was only so thin that when the whole earth was completely covered in white, their base was completely integrated into the white.

For the sake of energy, Luo Xun and his team deliberately put up solar panels outside the windows and walls on the third floor, so that although the collected electricity is less than the daily consumption, plus the batteries they have accumulated before the winter, there is no pressure at all to survive this winter, and they can get a lot richer.

Moreover, even if they run out of electricity in their homes, they can still make a living on firewood, rice stalks and other things at home.

The snow was still falling outside, and a group of people were all gathered in the game room, a few people gathered in front of the big TV to play sparring, and a few people sat in front of the computer to play strategy games online. Xiao Xinran accompanied Xiao Baozi, and under the care of the two ladies, he was having fun crawling and rolling in the bouncy castle - naturally, Xiao Baozi would only crawl and crawl and scream.

Luo Xun and Yan Fei sat on the sofa and looked at the tablet in their hands, which was the various text exchanges, records, notices and so on received from the satellite in the recent period.

After flipping through the internal documents of several bases in City A, Luo Xun casually commented: "With the experience of last year's heavy snowfall, all the grain at the base this year has been collected in advance, and the supplies and everything seem to be almost ready." But I always feel that the number of these materials is a bit small, right? ”

Yan Fei had just finished reading it, so he clicked on the message sent by another base to other bases, and thought for a moment when he heard it: "It can't be that the number of people in the base has decreased, right?" ”

"That's not right...... Luo Xun thought about it for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up and raised his eyebrows and asked, "You say, will they just prepare materials for the inner city?" ”

"Possibly!" Han Li, who was playing a game over there, suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted, and then continued to press the controller wildly.

Luo Xun glanced over there and continued to look down at the screen in his hand: "In this way, these things of theirs will definitely be enough for the inner city, but ...... for the outer city" said, shaking his head and sighing slightly.

Yan Fei put his arm around his shoulders and shook it, and asked, "You say, when the snow stops, are we going to go out and fill those traps with mushroom juice?" ”

They had already discussed when they set up the traps, and they were going to fill the traps with mushroom juice after the first snowfall, just so that they could freeze inside, and the temperature outside should not be bad if it was so low.

Luo Xun looked out the window again and was about to say something, when He Qiankun, who finished playing a game on the computer, suddenly asked: "Boss, do you remember when it snowed last year, and many of those zombies were frozen in the snow?" Do you think the zombie tide will be frozen after the snow? ”

As soon as his words came out, everyone was stunned, and they had ignored this matter before.

"That's right, and even if those zombies weren't buried by the snow, the snow would definitely affect their speed!"

Zhang Su snorted: "I said, have you forgotten?" Those zombies haven't come to the north yet, and I don't know if it's snowing where they're going. ”

Hearing this, a group of people looked at each other again.

"Ahem." Luo Xun coughed, and when he saw that everyone was looking over, he smiled and said, "Recently, we have to pay attention to the situation on the satellite photos, as for the mushroom juice ......" He thought for a while, "It depends on the situation." "If the zombies come too late, they will prepare mushroom juice in the trap in advance, and if they arrive in full bloom, the mushroom juice may all be wasted. It's better to see the situation first.

In the early morning of the next day, looking at the gray sky outside as if stained with lead, Luo Xun sighed at the glass, and a layer of white mist formed on it. The room was very warm, but the temperature outside was so low that there was a layer of ice on the glass when I looked at it early in the morning.

Xiao Baozi has woken up at this time, and is waving his little arms very energetically. Don't look at him when he was born, he was thin and thin, as if he might lose his breath at any time, but now he looks white and chubby and very energetic. As for his weight, is there any difference in weight and size with children of the same age? Luo Xun and the others have no place to verify and compare now, so they really don't know.

"You're in good spirits, waiting." Luo Xun picked up the already heavy child, walked to the side and put the bottle warm in warm water, tested the temperature, and confirmed that there was no problem before sending it to his mouth. Xiao Baozi's nutrition is good, so now he has two teeth in his mouth, although he is still fed milk brewed with cream fruit in the morning, but during the day, Luo Xun and they will give him some complementary food.

Yan Fei had just returned to the room at this time, and saw that he was feeding the child and came over to take a look.

"Finished delivering them food?" Luo Xun asked casually when he saw him come back.

"Well, it's sent, the two of them are comfortable, I estimate that after a winter, they may be even more lazy to go out and catch food by themselves in the spring of next year."

Yan Fei had just gone to the basement to deliver food to the two stupid wolves. In the days when they built the trap, for the sake of the livelihood of the two wolves, everyone decided after consultation - let Yan Fei and Xiao Xinran be mainly responsible for building the trap, and the others went around to explore the traces of mutant animals, really searched for some animals, and hunted a lot of them back under the leadership of Zhang Su.

When the first snow began to fall, the two wolves refused to go out again except for the convenience of going out—definitely because it was too cold outside. And the little guy has been sleeping with them in the basement since these two came.

Luo Xun and the others studied it and decided to use meat mixed with some grains and vegetables to make some unsalted food for them, the original intention was just to try to see if they could eat it, otherwise how could these quails and rabbits at home be enough for them to eat just by feeding meat?

The results are gratifying, but also sad. They did eat the food, and seemed to like it because it tasted fresh—and the people at the base agreed that they were both dogs! But because they are used to the call of "stupid wolf, stupid wolf", everyone simply named them "big wolf, second wolf".

The sad part is that even though the two of them eat this food, the amount of food is too much! Fortunately, Luo Xun and the others planted a bunch of corn in a whole acre of room after moving to the new base, and they saw that they could harvest it this month, plus the rest of the previous - everyone could get more meat after moving out, so the food consumption was slow. Anyway, they should be able to cope with this winter, but after that, they will have to increase the cultivation of various grains.

The crops that have been planted so hard are still thought that they can live a good life with food and clothing, and that they can also take the goods to exchange for other useful things when they are exchanged for other things. Thinking about it, Luo Xun felt sad.

Thinking of this, Luo Xun grinded his teeth: "No, you can't just watch them eat, let's eat shabu-shabu today!" "With so much meat, so much vegetables, and so much food at home, how can you just look at the two scourges? It's hard to be angry if you don't eat it well!

"Li Tie and the others also discussed it just now, saying that it is still snowing outside today, and it is best to eat shabu-shabu in this weather." Yan Fei couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Luo Xun grinding his teeth.

"Isn't it? If you don't eat shabu-shabu on this day, when will you eat it? And we still have a lot of mutton! "When they first picked up those mutton, Luo Xun deliberately kept it and didn't eat much, most of the meat they eat when they eat pork and all kinds of birds when they eat on weekdays, and now it's winter when it's the day to eat stewed beef and brush mutton comfortably!" You transform the pot at home into a mandarin duck pot, and I'm going to make a spicy soup base today! ”

Luo Xun's interest was very high, and after changing clothes and feeding the children, he went downstairs to express his intention to improve the food today, which made everyone cheer in unison.

In the past few days, the second wave of grain at home has not yet reached the harvest day, and the base has already been completely renovated.

After breakfast, a group of people went straight to the basement to start taking care of the crops at home, and when they turned the three-story basement and the above-ground conservatory, it was just 9:07 in the morning, and the group of foodies didn't care whether it was too early now, whether the breakfast in their appetite was digested or not, and went straight to the kitchen to get busy.

Lamb frozen in the refrigerator is not so easy to slice, although they take out the mutton and put it outside to thaw it at breakfast, but it is still hard. But even that didn't stop their passion for shabu-shabu.

A few big men are competing with the mutton, and when you finish cutting it, I cut it, and I don't have the strength to replace it.

The rest of the people either helped wash and pick vegetables, or helped Luo Xun prepare the ingredients at the bottom of the pot.

Luo Xun made a big bowl of red peppers, as well as the chili sauce pickled during the previous pepper harvest, and the new flower peppers that had been newly picked at home and had not yet been dried.

Within five minutes, a group of people who had been with him in the kitchen to help wash vegetables and prepare things rushed out with tears in their eyes, grabbed Zhang Su, who was sitting on the side and playing with a handheld computer, and asked him to activate his old man's ability - smoke smoke.

Zhang Su, who was a range hood with a black face, glanced at the leg of mutton on the board, and then looked at a plate of sliced poultry meat that had been cut next to him, and decided to wrap these two things as round as possible when he ate later.

Don't look at the time when everyone started to prepare very early, but after everything was done and the ingredients were adjusted, it was already half past eleven o'clock at noon, and it was just time to eat.

Half of the newly created Mandarin Duck Hot Pot is made of red and spicy soup, and the other side is made of a broth soup base made from bird skeletons and mushrooms. Coupled with the plates of various kinds of meat, offal, and vegetables arranged in a circle around it, it makes people feel appetizing.

"Let's eat!" After everything was served, Luo Xun waved his chopsticks.

"Oh!!"
