Zhang Qiru and the others returned to the villa safely, taking a cart of things. Back in the villa, several people were a little tired, lying on the sofa and reluctant to move, but fortunately they now have a full-time housekeeper who can also help them clean up the house.

"Dumbo? Can't cook? Zhang Qiru asked.

"Boss, I can cook, my dad used to be a cook!" Xiaofei said.

"Really? So you're okay with your craft, right? Zhang Qiru said.

"Boss, it's okay, there will be some Chinese and Western food!" Xiaofei said.

"Okay, go make some bear meat from the kitchen, make a Western meal, and make one for yourself!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Thank you boss!" Xiao Fei was flattered.

Xiaofei went to the kitchen to cook, but Zhang Qiru and the others were still lazily lying on the sofa and refused to move.

"Can we rest for a while this time? I'm so tired! Zhao Yun said.

"I guess it's okay, right? Tomorrow I will get up and install the heating equipment, by the way, I will renovate the villa a little, and the next step is to prepare for the winter, I don't want to do anything now, I just want to sleep well! Zhang Qiru said.

"Do we want to grow a vegetable? It's not good to have no food to eat in winter! Li Xiaorou said.

"What do we plant without seeds?" Leng Xi said.

"Dig wild vegetables! In a few days, go to the mountains to look for wild vegetables, dig some and plant them around the villa, and you can eat them in winter! Li Xiaorou said.

"Huh? Do you want to go out? Zhang Qiru said helplessly.

"It's not going far away, what are you afraid of? We're going to go to the mountains to pick some fruits and come back, didn't you bring back some oranges and persimmons last time, and the dates should also bear at this time, right? Hurry up and stock up on some, and when everyone remembers, there won't be anything left! Li Xiaorou said.

"Okay, install the heating tomorrow!" Zhang Qiru said.

When dinner was ready, everyone went to the table, looking at the fresh bear steak in front of them, and their index fingers moved. Zhang Qiru simply took out a dagger and cut open the bear meat, which tasted really good in his mouth.

"Xiaofei, your skills are good!" Zhang Qiru said with a smile.

"Thank you boss for the compliment!" Xiaofei said.

"You'll be here to cook in the future!" Zhang Qiru said, "By the way, are your injuries healed?" ”

"Much better, boss, it will be back to normal in another ten days!" Xiaofei said.

"Well, you can go to dinner too!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Okay, boss!" Xiaofei said.

After dinner, several people went back to their rooms and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Qiru and the others got up very early, and then began to clean up the villa. They plan to put the heater in the dining room, which doesn't have a lot of space anyway, and there is also a fireplace in the restaurant, which can use the chimney of the fireplace to exhaust smoke outside without causing carbon monoxide poisoning. The stove is placed in the corner of the wall, and a small area is enclosed for wood, which is much more convenient.

According to the plan, a whole radiator should be installed in each room, and two or three large areas such as the living room and study room should be installed to ensure that the average temperature of the whole villa can be maintained above 16 degrees. It is not slow to install with professional tools, whether it is drilling or connecting pipes, it can be completed quickly, and it only takes a day to install the entire heating equipment.

"What does a circulating pump really look like? Is it easy to use? Zhang Qiru asked.

"I tried it just now, the water circulation is not bad, it should be usable!" Zhang Qidao said.

"That's to be able to use it, it's going to be much more comfortable in winter this time!" Zhang Qiru said with a smile.

"We need wood, and we don't have coal to use here, so we have to burn wood, but we don't have wood in stock." Zhang Qidao said.

So the next day, a few people cut down some trees suitable for timber nearby, there are a lot of pine trees on the mountain, and the wood cut by Zhang Qiru and several people is mainly pine. Pine wood has a lot of oil and is suitable for wood burning. It took another whole day, and several people stockpiled nearly a truckload of wood, and it was estimated that it would be no problem to burn it for a winter.

In addition, several people also opened a vegetable patch near the villa. They cut down a few trees at the waist, leaving the roots to make stakes, and then used some branches as fences to enclose a vacant land of more than 300 square meters, which was used to grow vegetables. According to Zhang Qiru's idea, it would be better to have the opportunity to find a piece of plastic sheeting, cover the vegetable patch in winter, and plant a greenhouse.

For the sake of safety, Zhang Qiru and the others still repaired the monitoring device of the villa. The villa originally had a monitoring device, a total of eight cameras, Zhang Qiru and they placed the cameras in the right position to ensure that all directions of the villa could be seen. In this way, with Barker's early warning, coupled with camera surveillance, 90% of the danger should be detected.

During this time, Zhang Qiru and they occasionally went to collect some oranges and persimmons, as snacks in winter, and they also collected a lot of mountain dates - especially Xiaofei, this guy can actually make dried dates, and there are many dried dates hoarded in the villa - it is worth mentioning that the mountain date tree has also mutated, and the mountain dates are the same size as apples, with high sugar content, which is definitely a good thing to supplement physical fitness.

Before you know it, more than a week has passed, and September has arrived, and winter is still two months away. The government really released the news of the cold air in Siberia as scheduled, and now almost all organizations exploded and began to prepare for the winter. Zhou Yan also called Zhang Qiru and asked Zhang Qiru's opinion, but Zhang Qiru just asked him to prepare as soon as possible, and he couldn't give him any help for the time being.

Zhang Qiru also got a bombshell news, during the time they left the Los Angeles base, the Los Angeles base sent a large number of troops to harvest the wheat in the fields, which can be described as elite, and all kinds of high-end weapons are on board. At such a high price, the Los Angeles base actually harvested more than 100,000 tons of wheat, and cultivated wheat seeds to remain, and it is expected that wheat will be harvested in the Los Angeles base next year.

For more than a month, large and small organizations have been concentrating on stockpiling supplies and plundering the surrounding cities, villages and towns in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation. Even, the entire outlying urban area has been rummaged through, and there is not even a piece of toilet paper left. It was the first time for Zhang Qiru to feel that there were so many people here, and there must be more than a dozen people living in the nearby settlements, distributed in all corners.

Of course, the price of plundering is also huge, in addition to the death of many people, the most obvious evil result is that many high-level zombies have been led to the mountains, increasing the danger of the mountains. In addition, a large number of zombies are now concentrated in the center of the city, making the center even more inaccessible.
