In June, it was harvest season, and the family still had five acres of land planted with wheat and other crops. However, the farmland is outside the village, and if you want to harvest grain, you must lift the guardrail at the entrance of the village and go to the field, which also means great danger, and the most serious consequence is even the virus invading the whole village, and this piece of paradise no longer exists! So now, even the village chief definitely does not have the courage to order the guardrail to be opened.

Last night's heavy rainstorm coincided with the pre-harvest period, and I don't know how much damage it caused. Land Rover still remembers the grand scene when he was a child, when the whole village went out to fight to harvest food......

At noon, Sophie made noodles with kimchi and bacon, and it was a pleasure to eat this farmhouse-style meal. Jiang Xiaowen was eating farmhouse food for the first time, and the delicious food made her praise Sophie's craftsmanship.

In the afternoon, Land Rover took Sophie to almost touch the nearby terrain, Land Rover is familiar with the terrain of his hometown, but he has not been home for a long time, this survey is to deepen the impression on the one hand, on the other hand, he also wants to find out what loopholes are there to prevent zombies from entering the village.

The three mountains are the North Mountain, the East Mountain, and the West Mountain. The two of them went into Dongshan for a walk. The green trees in the mountains are towering, the flowers are flourishing, and there are some pheasants and wild boars, and I saw people running fast. These prey can also be used as a food source in the future. Unfortunately, Land Rover is a scholar and can't hunt, unlike other men in the village who have this skill. Lu Tianming is a master of hunting, but when he was a child, he taught Land Rover, and Land Rover refused to study hard, not a farmer and hunter, so he devoted himself to training his son to study. There is also a complete set of hunting tools at home, and it seems that Land Rover will have to combine learning and practice in the future.

The two discussed what to do with the food on the excavator and SUV parked in the dense forest outside the village, and that it must not be transported into the village with great fanfare, and that the matter should be done like a thief, and no villager should be alarmed. Land Rover and Sophie agreed to find an opportunity to quietly go out of the village in the evening and bring food home.

Dinner is fragrant rice porridge and large steamed buns, and marinated meat and kimchi are also indispensable. After eating, it was dark, in order to save firewood and grass, the fire on the stove was also extinguished, and Land Rover sat in the yard and used a small iron stove to boil medicine for Wang's family. This tin furnace has a small furnace hole and requires less fuel, while the furnace is ventilated and has strong firepower, which is the best choice for boiling medicine.

An ordinary day in the farm has passed...... The night was still quiet, the full moon was shining brightly, and the Land Rover was lying on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket, and a kind of low roar could be faintly heard......

At two o'clock in the morning, everything was silent, and the village was so quiet that only the sound of a heartbeat remained. Land Rover was woken up by Sophie, he took the small flashlight at home, washed his face with well water in the yard, lifted his spirits, and prepared to go to the village entrance to fetch food together.

opened the door of the firewood room, with a low roar, the sound of the iron chain "rattling", and the flashlight shone on Lu Tianming's hideous face, and Lu Rover couldn't bear to look at it. He dragged a two-wheeled cart from the pyre.

The rack bike is made of sturdy wood and has two bicycle-like wheels on either side, but it is larger and thicker than a bicycle tire because of its large load capacity.

The frame car has two long, straight handlebars with a sturdy climbing rope in the middle. When the person pulls the cart, he stands in the middle of the handlebar, holds the handlebar with both hands, puts a climbing rope on his shoulder, and bends his waist and legs forward. If the cart is loaded with light things, it can also be pushed away.

In Lujia Village, a remote village where modern machinery has not yet been popularized, every household basically has this kind of frame car, which has become an indispensable means of transportation for every family. In some days, if the villagers organize to harvest the crops, they will see countless racks and carts pulling wheat.

The three boxes of food on the excavator and the SUV can be pulled in one car if you don't pull a large bucket of water. Land Rover has thought about it, the bottled water can be temporarily not pulled, because there is a well in his yard, and the well water is definitely not polluted, so you can drink it with confidence. Although Lujia Village is not crossed by a river, it is rich in groundwater resources, and the three mountains have inexhaustible high-quality spring water.

Land Rover pulled the cart forward, followed by Sophie, who was playing a flashlight, out of the house, through the alley and on the center street, the road was bleak and quiet, and occasionally saw rats scurrying among the grass. Sophie didn't carry a gun, because she was supposed to pull things to do manual work, and there was not much danger in the middle of the night, so she didn't carry a gun. Even if the village does encounter one or two zombies, the bloody saber hidden in Sophie's combat boots can still be easily dealt with.

Within a few minutes, I arrived at the entrance of the village.

Under the instructions of the village chief, the old men strengthened the protective fence during the day. Two ancient trees are tied up in wire and lie on the concrete road at the entrance of the village, this barbed wire is thorny, covered with sharp, sharp iron nails, up to two meters high, similar to the fence on the border of Middle Eastern countries seen on the news.

Iron plates up to two meters high were added behind the barbed wire fence to form a single piece of iron plate in the groves on both sides of the road. Each iron plate is two meters high and wide, about 5 centimeters thick, and has a welded bracket on the back, which is deeply buried in the soil and is very stable. The back of the iron plate is full of sandbags, stones, and cement slabs, and each iron plate can ensure that it is not moving in the face of the impact of 5 first-level zombies. About 100 iron plates are put together to completely cut off the village from the outside world, which is a replica of the Berlin Wall during the Cold War.

So the question is, how can a small, remote and barren village build such fierce fortifications?

At the foot of the West Mountain in Lujia Village, there is an iron ore mine with unknown ore reserves, and it has not been mined for several years anyway. The village chief and his two brothers seized the ore resources under the pretext that the villagers jointly operated and set up a factory, and built a factory next to the mine, which covers an area of two or three acres, and the employees are mainly left-behind old men and women, less than 20 people.

Originally, some young people from their own village and neighboring villages came to work in the mine, but the village chief was too picky, and the salary he was given was very small, less than 1,000 a month. The rest of the old men and women of the village had no way to go out to work, so they worked for the village chief.

The iron ore of this mine itself is of low taste, and the processing method is also the oldest iron-making method, and the quality of the processed steel products is very low, so it can only be sold to the surrounding villages at a low price.

As the owner of the mine, the village chief used the village's grain subsidies to purchase both the construction of the plant and the materials needed for ironmaking. Nominally, it is for the development of the village, but in fact, the factory has been open for so long, except for the village chief and his two brothers, ordinary villagers have not enjoyed any dividends.

The so-called earth-based iron-making method is to build a simple iron-making furnace of about three cubic meters with refractory bricks, and the inner wall of the furnace is pasted with yellow clay, and a blower can be added. The iron ore collected from the mine is first hammered into small pieces on the outside, and then the ore, coke, lime, etc. are put into the iron-making furnace in a certain proportion and burned violently, and the bottom is blown by a blower.

When the ore is burned and melted, the molten iron flows down into a pre-dug pit below. When the molten iron cools, it forms a cake-shaped black iron lump. This iron is not of high quality, and after it is produced, it is sold to the villagers of this village and nearby villages, and it is basically scrap. The village chief bought off the relationship and forced the villagers to buy it, and the honest villagers didn't dare to mess with people, so they could only suffer dumb losses.

Last year, the village chief used the money he earned to buy dozens of formwork, and when the molten iron was poured into the formwork, it cooled to form this large rectangular iron plate.

This kind of iron plate is much more useful than discus, not only can be used as yard fences, livestock pens baffles, and some can also be processed into iron door panels. There are more villagers who have bought it, and the village chief no longer uses the method of coercion to force people to buy, and his personal image has also improved, and with the increase in profits brought by the growth of iron plate sales, the village chief took the initiative to buy some winter clothes for the widowed and lonely elderly in the village, and send some cakes and snacks during festivals to win a good reputation.

Land Rover remembered the pointed face of the village chief with small eyes, on the surface, he was kind and kind to everyone, but in fact, he had an account in his heart. This time, if it weren't for the rampant virus and the zombie attack, with the style of the village chief, he would never use these iron plates that had been ordered. If you don't use an iron plate to block the invasion of zombies, then the village chief may not even be able to save his life, how can he make a profit? In the face of life, money is really the same as dung.

Because yesterday's zombie invasion incident of climbing over the guardrail again, starting tonight, the village chief will send two people to be on duty at the entrance of the village every night.

At this moment, when the full moon was in the sky, with a faint light, Land Rover and Sophie saw the simple shack built at the entrance of the village from a distance.

The door of the hut was facing this side, and there was no curtain, and a candle was lit. The hut was covered with hay, and an old man was sleeping on his side, while the other was sitting on the hay, smoking a dry cigarette with his back to this side, and the smoke was filled in the dim light.

"These old men are really irresponsible, they said they were on duty at night, but they slept in it, and smoked cigarettes, do you think they are here for the two of you to experience the wild broken back?" Sophie scoffed softly.

"The two old men are old, and the weather is colder in the middle of the night, so it's normal for them to stay in the shack," Land Rover analyzed: "And it's better for them not to come out, not to make noise near the entrance of the village, and not to let the zombies smell the smell of humans." ”

"Well, whatever you say makes sense...... Sophie said helplessly, "So the question is, how can we now cross the barrier and bring the food home without alarming them?" What a feeling like this is an impossible task. ”

"The current situation is that we can't be exposed, let alone fight hard," Land Rover continued to analyze, "Don't look at the village is peaceful and peaceful now, but it has not yet reached the time of lack of food and food, and we have so much food, once it is discovered, it will definitely cause a lot of disputes in the future, so we must be cautious and do not know the ghosts." ”

"Okay, Analyze Emperor. If the two of us were going to climb over the iron plate, it would be fine," Sophie said, spreading her hands, "but we can't carry food with our bare hands." Otherwise, we would have quietly gone out of the village to move a small amount of food in the middle of the night every day, and after ten days and half a month, we would have basically been able to move it. ”

"This can't be done," Land Rover shook his head and said, "If you act every night, the risk index is too high, and you may be discovered." Let me think again......"

Land Rover's heart suddenly lit up, and he excitedly said to Sophie: "There is a way!" ”

"What's the solution?"

It turned out that Land Rover remembered that there was still a small artifact in the system backpack - the Flying Stone!

There are two more opportunities to use the flying stone, each flight lasts three minutes, and it comes with an immune shield during the flight.

A three-minute flight is enough time to bring all the food home. So Land Rover turned on the system, chose to use a flying stone, only to hear the sound of "ding", a layer of pale yellow halo wrapped Land Rover, Sophie and the rack car, slowly rising, as light as flying flotsam, without making any sound. Due to the dim light and the distance of the shack, the old man who smoked his back to the gate did not notice anything unusual.

"Ding! Flying Stone Utilizes Second Success! One time left. ”

Ten seconds later, Land Rover and Sophie flew into the dense forest where excavators and SUVs were hidden.

The circular halo had not yet dissipated, and the rack car floated twenty centimeters above the ground, and Land Rover and Sophie jumped down and quickly carried three large boxes of food onto the rack cart.

They returned to the halo and flew up......
