Luo Xin is a slacker and usually skips breakfast.

Liu Jinyu and Xu Wenjia live a very regular life, whether they are hungry or not, they are used to eating a little.

Sun Lijia is also a slacker, the two slackers get together and often lazy bed.

After breakfast, Xu Wenjia went out for a long-distance run.

Liu Jinyu first washed the dishes, and then took the two cats out for a walk.

Cats usually don't need to walk in a special way, a pot of cat litter, a cat climbing frame, a ball of yarn, basically constitute all the needs of their life, and those who have not been (physically) sterilized may also need a similar person of the opposite sex on a regular basis.

However, the living room is too small to accommodate even a cat to climb the frame, and she is also psychologically afraid of putting a cat litter box, so she decided to walk the cat by herself.

After changing his clothes and shoes, he opened the door, "Little Blue, Little Black, go out for a walk." ”

Both blue and black cats are very smart, and they remember it when they are fed and they bark twice.

"Jingle bell—"

First, the bell rang, followed by a faint black shadow at Liu Jinyu's feet, and the two cats came out of their respective hiding corners and appeared and squatted at her feet.

The blue cat's stealth skills are more advanced, and even Liu Jinyu's senses can't detect it. It is also difficult to detect when the black cat is still and does not move, but in broad daylight the light is on in the house, and it can still see a faint shadow when it moves.

She stood outside the door, "Little Blue, Little Black, come out for a walk", and even said with a gesture, the two cats probably understood, and followed her downstairs.

"Jingle bells-", "Jingle bells-"

During the process of going downstairs, the bell on the blue cat's neck kept ringing, but as soon as he reached the bottom floor, the bell stopped abruptly.

Liu Jinyu noticed this detail, she heard Luo Xin talk about the peculiarities of the blue cat a few times yesterday.

"It's pretty smart. ”

She is now more familiar with the surrounding environment, and knows that there is a community flower bed nearby, which is more suitable as a place for pets to excrete.

Glancing back, the two cats followed her, occasionally playing with each other to distance themselves, but immediately trotted to catch up.

When she arrived at the place, Liu Jinyu pointed to the flower bed, thought about it again, and dubbed, "Poop, poop".

The two cats crouched at her feet, each tilting their heads to look at her, their tails swaying from side to side, just unmoved.

"Bring it a few more times in the future, and you'll know what it means if you get into a habit, right?"

One by one, she carried them to the flower bed, made a digging motion with both hands sideways, and then pointed to the inside of the flower bed, "Poop, poop."

Cats are said to be neurotic and like to drill holes. The monkeys, who could not read the body language of the female biped, did not know, and they were quickly attracted by the withered grass behind them and burrowed into it.

Through the gap, Liu Jinyu saw that they had excreted, and waited for a while to call them to her side.

was so obedient, she finally had a good impression of them in her heart.

When he returned, in the doorway downstairs, Liu Jinyu carried them in one by one.

Luo Xin told him that if he didn't, the two cats would walk through the door hole by themselves and enter a residential building that was not on the same plane as them.

Again, "willingly giving birth to monkeys for him".

......

Without waiting to enter the door, Liu Jinyu picked up two cats and walked directly into the bathroom.

After entering, he found Luo Xin brushing his teeth inside.

"Huh, you took them out to herd the cats?"

"Well, the house is small, and there will be a peculiar smell when I put the sand box, so it's convenient for me to take them out. Liu Jinyu said, put the cat on the bathroom floor, took a basin of water, and cleaned their paws.

"Oh......" Luo Xin talked to her with a toothbrush, "Actually, it's not necessary, both cats know how to go to the toilet by themselves, the toilet is easy for them to fall down, I'll just change them to a squat." ”

"Oh, that's good, they're really smart, you're going out later? ”

After rinsing his mouth, Luo Xin wiped his mouth. "Correct, it's you who go out with me, take you to see No. 4 [Tree of Life], feel the energy infusion, and see if there are any special effects, Wen Jia tried it yesterday, and her physical fitness doesn't seem to have increased, but she has a clearer understanding of her own ability, and she dares to jump directly down from the height of the seven-story building, and her ability to grasp physical fitness has increased a lot. ”

"Okay, I'll wash them both later."

......

Coming down from the tree, Liu Jinyu shook her fist and felt it, "It seems that nothing has changed."

She is older, her personality is more stable, or rigid, and her physical fitness is not strong enough to dare to jump off a building.

"What about the mind, do you feel a little more information, comprehend new abilities or something?"

"Well, oh-oh-oh......" she stammered for a long time, "uh, I can't tell, it's something strange, I can't understand it almost completely." ”

"Tsk, I thought you would be a little different, it seems that ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw a yellow light flashing in Liu Jinyu's hand and threw it on himself, Luo Xin was stunned for a moment. "What is this?"

"Seems to be a healing skill?" Liu Jinyu still lacks a good grasp of some words that often appear in games and novels, and her tone seems to be unconfident. "It's like those who specialize in dealing with skin trauma, well, fractures can also be curative and can restore vitality, but for symptoms caused by viruses or curses or some other special effects, they can only restore vitality, and there is no way to cure the symptoms...... Well, that's all that weird information told me. ”

She pointed to her head.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of a Taoist priest", Luo Xin held his face and took a sip.

"What are you doing, it's so dirty", Liu Jinyu smiled and wiped her face with the back of her hand, she didn't know what the value was, in short, it was a little useful.

......

It was very safe in the safety zone, Luo Xin didn't send her home, but kissed her goodbye on the spot, and drove the black smoke all the way to the Baiyun New District community.

Aside from the cat, he doesn't plan to bring any other animals into the safe zone in the near future.

Take another cursory tour of the neighborhood and collect the human bones that you can see. That is, to open the rift in his time and space, store the bones in it, and wait for the right place and time to be buried in a centralized manner.

He didn't have the heart to care about the places he couldn't see, and where he could see them, and within his ability, he still tried to do some of his obligations as a compatriot.

Outside the range of dead air, it is difficult to give birth to undead creatures, and the conditions required are more complicated. In fact, throwing these bones near the undead lair under his control can increase the production of undead creatures, but he has no intention of doing so, and he also learns about this through [Information Gathering].

Far from the safe zone, his construction function can't be used, but he can still do it by making some barricades to provide some better protection for the small animals in the community.

For example, find a small hill bag, cut a large pile of earth and rock, move back to the community, and stack high slopes or even cliffs at intersections and some key locations.

A few wagons were moved, the buckets were emptied, and some grains such as carrots, peanuts and corn kernels were sprinkled.

As he did this, he showed up from time to time, taking off his gloves and rubbing his palms back and forth on the car body near the food, leaving his own scent.

Most animals have a sensitive sense of smell and are able to distinguish friend from foe by smell, so that when they eat, they leave the impression that they smell = something to eat.

It is convenient to do further operations in the future.

Only small creatures can be seen in the community, such as snakes, cats, mice, or some uncommon weasels and gophers. Now that the temperature is lowering, it is much more difficult to obtain food, and he hopes that through these practices, he will be able to attract large animals such as pigs, sheep and cattle.

After doing this, he went to inspect the decorations he had done in the residential building yesterday.

The house has been sitting for more than a year, leaving a layer of dust, and Luo Xin's [Shadow Walk] can come and go freely without leaving a trace, but the animals cannot.

Looking at the traces, it was actually a snake that ate the ham sausage.

"Liu Jinyu seems to know how to cook snake dishes? 』

Luo Xin fills the plate with ham sausages, while also leaving his own smell.

The other rooms were full of traces of small animals, and the things were repaired and went to the last room.

A few chubby things were running around on the floor, two feet long, eyes as small as mung beans, ugly on the front, and two large yellowed teeth.

"Boom, sell bamboo rats, three yuan a piece, three dollars a dollar."

Luo Xin had a very graphic text floating in his mind.

Like yesterday's blue-haired black cat, after he appeared, these bamboo rats were not afraid of people, twitching their noses, and at the same time leaning over, hugging his trouser legs and begging for food.

In any case, in order to avoid accidents, he always restrained his paralysis and chose to appear in the corner.

Without taking off his gloves, he squatted down and fed a handful of peanuts to a few chubby bamboo rats, and tried to touch them with his hands while they were eating.

When a wild cat is eating, it will let out a low growl if it is touched, and if it does not move its hand, it will be scratched and bitten, and it will not be able to eat together with others. Yesterday it was through this, along with some other characteristics, that Luo Xin confirmed that Xiaolan and Xiaohei were not wild cats, but pets raised by humans.

Although this behavior is not suitable for bamboo rats, there is something to be seen.

"Poof-" Luo Xin laughed, "There are really people in the local area who have raised this kind of thing, I thought it was a funny joke." 』

He knew that before the disaster, there were porcupines and cobras among the local farmers, both of whom were on local talk shows, and he had never heard of bamboo rats.

Bamboo rats are native to Sichuan and Shu, although they look like mice, but they are actually a very clean small animal, in the place of origin like giant pandas only eat bamboo, after artificial breeding for domestication, they can also eat corn stalks, corn kernels, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops.

Disease resistance is easy to survive, the feeding cycle is short, in addition to high edible value, there is also a certain medicinal value. Although it looks a little ugly, because of its gentle personality, it seems that some people take it as a pet.

As for why he knows so much, in some forums and post bars, this information has been popular for a while.

"I just saved up money to fly back from Dubai, and you want to trick me into breeding bamboo rats?"

The white light of [Identification Technique • Modification] can also be shown through the gloves, and after losing a handful of peanuts, Luo Xin tried to identify these little guys.

There are no germs, no parasites, I can't see anything special, I don't know how to survive in the mutated environment, but it doesn't matter, Luo Xin doesn't plan to take them back right away, and after observing them for a while.

There are elephants and germs in nature, elephants can hardly interfere with the survival of germs, but germs can make elephants sick and even die; there are people who take the first place in the exam, and there are also those who take the first place in the exam, and the first place in the exam may not have no chance to become the boss in the future, and the first place in the exam may not become 100% of the dragons and phoenixes among people in the future.

Everything has its own way of being, and the absence of special abilities or special features does not mean that it cannot establish itself in the world.

"As long as it's delicious, it's enough. ”

Humans at this time ...... Well, Luo Xin and a few people, bamboo rats can be as long as they have this attribute.

"Speaking of which, there are a lot of good things in Sichuan, Shu, Yungui and Guizhou, such as three-eyed shrimp, rock climbing loach, and several kinds of cold-water ornamental fish, all of which are widely found in the tanks of fish farmers across the country, I don't know if there will be surviving species in the wild......

Luo Xin thought about it while throwing peanuts, and the fat bamboo rats were grabbing each other's food beside him.

He had been asleep for half a year, and when he woke up, he gave priority to breeding fish that could be used as food, and by the time he solved the problem of protein intake, the dead air had exploded in the city, and all the living creatures that were lucky enough to survive in the aquarium were completely dead, and there were no special or other fish to be found.

For example, scavenger fish, an invasive species that was active in the southern waters of the Celestial Empire before the disaster, is defined as a harmful fish. Originally introduced as a tool fish in an aquarium, it was released indiscriminately by some unaware of the habits of the fish, and for other reasons, the species invaded and spread, destroying the local ecosystem, and the aquaculture industry suffered huge losses every year.

However, this fish is very competent as a tool fish, and its feeding method is licking, stones, sand, tank walls...... Whether it's fish eggs, algae, or something else, as long as it attaches to something that can be licked, it will eat it completely. Aquariums stocking this fish can reduce labor costs and maintenance costs.

If Luo Xin finds this fish, placing it in a freshwater aquaculture area can also reduce the energy consumption of the aquaculture area. The decontamination and stain removal work in the breeding area is now achieved by the special effect of consuming energy (he doesn't understand the specific principle anyway).

The three-eyed shrimp has a peculiar appearance, and it is also an ancient creature, even if it does not have any special value, Luo Xin is willing to include it in the scope of cultivation.

Chinese black-shell shrimp can be used to control the growth of aquatic plants, algae, and are also a good source of protein supplements for fish.

Small grass shrimp in the offshore sea can play the same role, and are placed in the soda aquaculture area to control marine aquatic weeds and algae.

He thought of several other surrounding cities, and silently calculated his travel distance, round-trip time, etc.

"Maybe, try your luck and see if you can find other survivors. ”

......

In the past two days, if there is any surplus in the [Identification Technique•Correction], Luo Xin will use it on 055 in the spatial crack to further improve the various materials of 055.

055 and the big black fish he didn't know also reminded him that there was something called a thermal weapon in this world.

"Mindset...... has been hanging up, forgetting that he originally lived in a technology-oriented civilized society. 』

There are rifles and bullets in 055 and Big Black Fish, and the rifle seems to be a ninety-five type, and the appearance looks quite trendy.

It's obviously not a good thing to test a gun in the outside world, but not only the three women, but even he himself is quietly surviving in the subconscious, otherwise he wouldn't ignore a hot weapon like a firearm, right?

Although most of the houses in the safe zone were controlled by three women and converted into warehouses, he also had his own small warehouse.

After realizing that almost all of his property was in the hands of three women, he subconsciously repaired this magic warehouse for himself, but he hadn't thought about what to decorate, and it had been empty. Of course, its presence will not appear on the control panel at home.

Shooting in such a warehouse completely cut off from the outside world will never leak out.

Luo Xin simply checked the firearm, and he almost figured out how to shoot.

He erected a cardboard in the distance, drew the target with a marker, returned to the shooting point and put on his ear protectors, lay down on the blanket, recalled the shooting action in his head, pressed the butt of the gun with his shoulder, and tried to pull the trigger.

"Bang-"

"Hmm—" he leaned there and tilted his head to comment, "at least the cardboard was shot, and it seems that Mendeleev and Newton had no chance to open the coffin." ”

After saying that, he pulled the trigger one after another.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang - "

The first two shots were still on cardboard, but he adjusted the muzzle according to the point of impact, and the last shots were almost all fired at the irregular circular target he had drawn himself.

"The chemical and physical properties are basically the same, maybe there will be slight differences, right?"

"But it's hard to say, there are undead creatures now, what if Mendeleev and Newton's graves are haunted? I don't think they were in the habit of cremation......"

......

Because he appeared for a while in the morning, Luo Xin still had some time to use [Shadow Walk].

After lunch, he took a nap.

When he woke up, he drove the black smoke and picked up some things from the fishing tackle shops and pet stores around him.

Return to his secret warehouse and begin to organize items.

Several finely meshed ground cages, used to catch freshwater fish and shrimp, need to put a little bait at the bottom of the cage.

Several vinyl kennels that can be sealed and oxygenated inside. His spatial rift can store living creatures, but there is no air, and with this pet crate, he can put the small animals he finds in it and bring them back in the spatial rift.

Some pet pharmacies and breeding books accumulate information for future animal breeding.

Several specially made large cages are also required, which should be available at the zoo.

However, the zoo is a bit far away, and the remaining [Shadow Walk] use time is not enough for a round trip.
