Chapter 034: Spring Blossoms
When you understand. Neither life nor self is meant to be overcome, but to get along! You'll understand that there are things that you have to believe in, they are strong, and you have to rely on them!
Li Baoqiang jumped off the city wall and ran towards the school, followed by the crowd. The crowd in the school slowly walked out of the classroom, still frightened, Zhao Xiaoxiao saw Li Baoqiang running over, crying "wow", and plunged into Li Baoqiang's arms, life and death were parting in an instant, how could he not be full of emotion.
"We're not going to be apart again!" Li Baoqiang held the girl's cheek and said softly. "Well, never to be separated again!" Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded, with a frightened look in his eyes. It's terrifying, this is the most terrifying day since the end of the world, rats all over the sky, eating people without spitting scum, and they almost became a breakfast in the mouth of the mouse.
Li Baoqiang put his arm around Zhao Xiaoxiao, looked at the villagers who were still panicking, pondered for a while, stood on a high place, and said loudly: "Everyone has seen it, the sky is endless!" It is precisely because we built the city wall in the early stage, because we excavated the mine in the early stage, because we made weapons and explosives in the early stage, because we have been trying to live better, because we have been working hard, I believe that as long as we have the heart to do it, there will always be a chance to survive, and God will help us. ”
Li Baoqiang's few words aroused the survivors' strong survival and fighting spirit, yes, God pays off! It is precisely because Li Baoqiang led everyone to build day and night in the early stage that there is a chance to survive today. Although we have all experienced modern civilization, after the apocalypse of helplessness, we still have a reverence for God in our hearts and hope for God's salvation.
And Li Baoqiang is the savior, this god. Several old villagers couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow to Li Baoqiang in adoration. Li Baoqiang hurriedly helped the old people up: "Don't thank me, thank yourself, you saved yourself!" Now we need to cheer up and rebuild our home! ”
Li Baoqiang originally planned to lead the armed team to continue the expedition and collect the population to collect materials after the construction of Hope Village was on the right track. Now, after the rat colony attacked the city, it was discovered that there were still big loopholes and crises in the construction of the town, and this idea was temporarily abandoned.
Li Baoqiang led the armed men to carefully check the effect of the battle. The valley was littered with bird droppings, more dead rat carcasses and minced meat, and the stench was so bad that the team members covered their noses and didn't even have a clean place to settle down. When the fat man saw the white bones of the three wild boar cubs, he couldn't help but shout: "If I knew this, I should have eaten them in the first place, but now it's cheaper to kill mice." The crowd was speechless.
Then turned to Weng City, the main gate of the urn city has been sealed by Zhang Juncai with stone cement, Li Baoqiang went directly to the city, and inspected the Weng City, the rats burned to death in Weng City were about three meters thick, and the black pressure filled the entire urn city, and the smell of barbecue went straight to the nose. Li Baoqiang turned his vision to the outside of the city, which also looked like a burning company camp, with rat corpses everywhere.
Li Baoqiang secretly analyzed, this time the rats attacked the city, it is estimated that no less than 100,000 people died, it should be said that the rats within a radius of dozens of miles are dead, coupled with the appearance of natural enemies of rats, rats will not be the main danger in the future, but those eagles and wild dogs will become the main opponents.
After viewing, Li Baoqiang returned to the school conference room. Zhang Juncai had already arranged all the labor to clean up the rat carcasses in the valley and prepare to gather them for incineration. The shacks have been eaten away, so many people live in a problem, and the construction of the wall on the cliff has become a top priority.
Li Baoqiang found the main person in charge of Hope Village and exchanged his thoughts about the fact that the rat swarm would not attack again in the near future, and Professor Zhao was also sure of this, after all, more than 100,000 rats died at once this time, and it should not be flooded in the near future.
Then there is the housing problem of the victims. The shack is gone, and the school classroom can only be laid in the classroom these days, but this is not a long-term solution, or to organize personnel to cut down trees and build shacks to build temporary shelters, or can be arranged to live in Songling Town, everyone is talking. In the end, Li Baoqiang made a final decision, the victims still live in Hope Village, first, Songling Town is far away from here, and in addition, the safety problem is less than one-tenth of Hope Village, and the victims may not be willing to go.
Li Baoqiang privately wondered if he could consider transferring some of the victims to the Tibetan Cave, but finally suppressed this idea. The Cave of Hidden Soldiers is a secret of its own, and it is not yet time to decrypt it.
The next step was to build the city wall, which was unanimously approved, after all, everyone had experienced this terrible scene firsthand, and they still have lingering fears. In the end, Li Baoqiang decided to divide the victims into three, some people went into the mountains to cut down trees to build shacks, some continued to burn kilns to make cement, and some people first excavated the foundation, and then built the city wall on the cliff.
The reserve team of thirty people basically matured after this battle to defend against the rat swarm, and this time it was broken up and reassigned. The fat man Wang Zhiming and the thin man Li Dayong served as the vice captains, each with a team of 20 people, and Zhao Jian with a team of 20 people; The ten-member female soldier team is directly under Li Baoqiang.
The advantage of this is that each squad has about 20 members, and it can be used in three teams in a joint operation or in a single team. As for the women's team, Li Baoqiang doesn't want to expand, after all, there are specific reasons for the composition and formation of the women's team, and Li Baoqiang regards these female soldiers as his sisters.
Liu Junsheng asked an important question, that is, whether the city gate could be opened. Opening is good for transporting mineral cement in and out, but it does not prevent rats or other people or animals from attacking. Li Baoqiang and Professor Zhao discussed carefully for a while, and finally decided not to open the city gate due to choking, but prepare stones, sand, and cement on the side of the city gate, and once something happened again, immediately block it.
After the discussion, Hope Village began to get on the right track again under the leadership of Li Baoqiang.
With Liu Junsheng's unremitting efforts, the two city gates and the suspension bridge have been restored; The production of cement kilns and salt wells, and the mining of ores are also going on simultaneously; The villagers are also living in newly built shacks, a brick and concrete house is being built under the cliff, and the wall on the cliff is extended.
Li Baoqiang led the women's team to the outside of the city and saw more than a dozen elderly people turning over the soil. "Old man, what are you doing here?" Li Baoqiang asked. "So many dead rats are the best fertilizer!" The old people greeted each other honestly.
It turned out that these were the old people who were guarding the livestock farm, the livestock was destroyed, the poultry and livestock were all eaten, and the old people did not want to eat dry food, so they came to the outside of the city again and reclaimed the land. "It's the second of February, spring sowing is about to begin, and this field has rats as fertilizer, just right for growing potatoes."
Li Baoqiang was moved in his heart after hearing this. "What a hard-working and simple man!" The common people of the Chinese nation have been so industrious since ancient times, even if they are given a rocky field, they can grow food on it. Li Baoqiang secretly vowed never to let this group of lovely villagers be destroyed again.
Spring has officially arrived. The grass grows and the warbler flies, everything recovers, and everywhere is full of vitality. The mountains in the distance were rolling and turning green. The grass on the nearby hillside also crept out of the ground, and it was tender and green. The fat little leaves are like fat dolls who have just woken up. This patch, that cluster, dotted the steep slopes.
The trees on the hillside are also quietly pulling out new branches and sprouting new shoots like grass. The branches of the willow tree hang downward, like threads hanging from the tree. The small yellow leaves are like petals tied on a thread. The poplars bloomed, and these flowers were purple red in bunches. It's funny that it's covered with very soft little hairs, like caterpillars. The mountain peach blossoms spread their petals and sprouts, the apricot blossoms make trouble on the branches, and the pear blossoms compete for the .......
All sorts of wildflowers also woke up, and they stretched their waists, raised their heads, and scrambled to be the first to bloom, red, yellow, blue, white, purple...... It's really colorful and colorful. Although these flowers are not precious, they decorate this youthful meadow with their own little gestures, and selflessly dedicate everything they have to the earth. Swarms of bees, flapping their yellow wings, buzzing and busy collecting honey; The colorful butterflies also danced in pairs.
I don't know when, the spring rain fell, gently, inaudible, like a kind of wet smoke, gently moistening the earth. After the spring rains, the sun came out and it was clear. The whole world is as if it has just been washed, it is very refreshing, the air is very fresh, and the breath is sweet, like drinking honey.
Li Baoqiang and others also found a problem, that is, this year's grass, wildflowers, and trees seem to be growing wildly, as if there are enough nutrients in the ground. In fact, it was because the ground was covered with volcanic ash, and the other was the genetic mutation of plants caused by nuclear fallout, but everyone didn't know about it.
The spring breeze is warm, the bright spring light shines on the earth, and everything presents a piece of vitality, forming a beautiful landscape map, and it is not at all obvious that it has been devastated by natural disasters.
Spring ploughing began. The paddy fields at the foot of the mountain have been filled with the water stored in the dammed lake, and the villagers are lined up, walking side by side, planting rice seedlings as they go, and the freshly planted rice seedlings are stunned when they are full of water, and they are growing rapidly. Li Baoqiang also joined the crowd, tried a few times, and finally reluctantly quit the crowd, he is really a rookie in terms of rice planting.
The fat man finally had a chance to vent: "Finally I found something that you don't know!" Li Baoqiang glanced at the fat man: "I'm waiting for an opportunity to repair you." The fat man was speechless, and hurriedly found the crowd to hide.
The land outside the city walls had been deeply turned over by the old peasant gate, combed into a series of pinches, which dug a pit every step and buried the already sprouted potato seeds. The villagers are busy, sowing seeds, not only for this year's harvest, but also for hope.
Hope Village is full of life. Li Baoqiang smiled with satisfaction when he saw this.
