Chen Wei listened to the chatter around her, her face remained unchanged, but she secretly quickened her pace.

Outside the town, the trucks and tractors sent by the Ministry of Agriculture were already waiting, and it was not easy for the zombies to climb into the car, but the boys from the Ministry of Armed Forces pushed and pulled them into the car. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, he drove towards Mingfeng Villa.

Uncle Chen and a group of personnel from the Ministry of Agriculture had been waiting in Mingfeng Villa for a long time, and greeted Chen Wei, Chen Qiong, Guan Xin and others, and asked people to bring mung bean soup up, Chen Wei smiled: "Uncle Chen, don't be busy drinking mung bean soup, let's send it down first." ”

Uncle Chen said: "Actually, it's just a little thing, our old guy from the Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of fertilizing and spraying pesticides, and those -- cough cough -- those they just walk back and forth on the ridges, and this bird or bird sees people moving, so they don't dare to fall into the field." ”

Chen Wei glanced at it, only to see that the Ministry of Agriculture stayed at the post, all of them were about 50 years old, all of them were so sunburned that their necks were red, she frowned, Zhang Limei's report showed that although there are many newcomers who have joined Yashan now, there are not many people who voluntarily come to the Ministry of Agriculture, on the contrary, the idlers of the departments with easy work such as civil affairs and finance are crowded into piles, and even some young and strong young men are squeezed into the pile of ladies of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and finally Zhou Chunyu can't see it, and they are all carried to the Ministry of Armed Forces, the natural process is not gentle, It is indispensable to move your fists and feet.

However, there are too few people from the Ministry of Agriculture, Uncle Chen seemed to see the doubt in Chen Wei's eyes, and hurriedly said: "There are several old guys who have suffered from heat stroke and are resting in the room. ”

Chen Wei hurriedly said: "Let the old people have a good rest, I will find Dr. Qian to take a look at everyone, and bring some medicines to prevent heat stroke, Rendan, cool oil or something." By the way, don't let the temperature of the air conditioner be too low lately, you guys are old. The air conditioner is low and it is easy to catch a cold. ”

At this time, a large bucket of mung bean soup was brought up, ice cubes were added to it, and rock sugar was added, but Chen Wei couldn't. The boys from the Armed Forces Department drank a bowl together, and then walked towards the field under the leadership of Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen walked in front. Secretly paying attention to those zombies, I saw that although they were staggering, they did not step on the crops under the ridges, so I nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Xi Jiachao in the wheelchair, and smiled self-deprecatingly, I didn't expect that I would ask for the zombies one day.

In front of you are patches of rice paddies. The early rice at the end of June is the heading and filling period, and the bunches of green and yellow rice ears are swaying in the wind, and the rice fragrance is blowing in the face.

Uncle Chen gestured and said, "There will be plenty of rain this summer, and I think it will be two or three weeks away." The rice has entered the yellow harvest period one after another. Recently, we are digging a proper ditch in the paddy field to facilitate drainage and open the field, so as to avoid sudden heavy rain that will cause waterlogging and lodging of plants. The rest is to prevent insect pests such as rice leaf roller borer and rice planthopper. ”

Chen Wei picked up an ear of rice and looked at it again, her face full of joy: "I think this year's harvest is good." ”

Uncle Chen said: "This is thanks to the Ministry of Armed Forces to collect a large number of pesticides and fertilizers, but it will be difficult to say in the future." ”

Chen Wei understood what Uncle Chen meant, these agricultural materials are non-renewable materials, and they are used for one year or less. She nodded to a few large dung tanks in the field: "Uncle Chen, the crops are all dependent on the dung, I see that you have made a lot of preparations." ”

Uncle Chen smiled proudly: "I haven't made fertilizer for many years, but fortunately, although I am used to using chemical fertilizers, I haven't lost the skill of accumulating human and animal fertilizer." ”

Human and animal fertilizer is a good thing, but the smell is too strong, especially under the sun, the smell emanating from the mouth of the tank makes Chen Qiong and the members of the armed forces department cover their noses one by one.

Uncle Chen stroked his hand: "Teacher Chen, you see, the rice fields and vegetable fields in this area need to drive birds. ”

Chen Wei saw that sure enough, there were flocks of birds rising and falling in the field, and the chirping of birds continued, and sometimes people got closer, and with a coax, a large flock of birds rose from the farmland, hovering in the air like a small dark cloud. There are so many birds.

The personnel of the Ministry of Agriculture also thought of a lot of methods, pulled a lot of nets on the ridges, and even inserted some scarecrows in the fields, but the results were mediocre.

Chen Wei asked, "Do you just need them to walk back and forth on the ridges?" ”

Uncle Chen nodded: "If you can shout loudly and wave your arms or something, the effect of scaring birds will be better." ”

Chen Wei thought for a while and said to Guan Xin: "You go to find Lao Yutou, I remember that some gongs and drums from the school were collected in the warehouse, and he asked him to give us a few gongs, which are urgently needed." ”

She turned around again and said to Xi Jiachao, "Do you understand?" Can it be done? ”

Xi Jiachao didn't say much: "The trouble pushes me around this field, and several major machine farming roads have to be turned." ”

Chen Wei responded, Chen Qiong and a few young men from the armed forces pushed Xi Jiachao in a circle, and when Guan Xin returned to the edge of the field with a few gongs, Xi Jiachao also finished a circle.

Xi Jia said to Chen Wei, who was looking at him with a blank eye: "Some ridges are too narrow and inconvenient to walk, but most places can be walked." ”

Chen Wei pointed to the gong: "Bring this guy with you - will they be used?" ”

Xi Jiachao thought for a while: "It should be no problem, these actions are still very simple." ”

Xi Jiachao still asked Chen Qiong and others to push him, and then took 5 batches of zombies to go deep into the farmland. Chen Wei watched coldly from the side, Xi Jiachao dispatched a group of 5 zombies along the vertical and horizontal ridges and machine farming roads, and went straight along the ridge sub-area, and when he arrived at an intersection, he turned back, went back and forth, and "wandered" in the field.

Among them, there are a few zombies with gongs in their hands, knocking as they walk, and the sound of the gong startles the birds and birds flying in a daze.

After a while, more than 300 zombies were distributed to the farmland, and the effect was immediate.

Xi Jiachao was pushed back to Chen Wei by Chen Qiong, Chen Wei glanced at the zombies walking back and forth in the field, and her heart suddenly moved, now Xi Jiachao is more than a hundred meters away from those farthest zombies, didn't Wang Lu say that the distance between the smart corpses and the zombies is only 100 meters, she said quietly: "Xi Jiachao, some zombies are so far away, are you good at commanding?" Do you want me to send a few men to push you back and forth? ”

Xi Jiachao said: "No. These zombies don't need me to keep an eye on the command all the time, I just implant a mandatory command in their heads and let them walk back and forth along a fixed line. Just repeat this command every once in a while. ”

Uncle Chen looked interesting: "It's so simple? Are they so obedient that they don't run around? ”

Xi Jiachao said: "It's hard to say. If they are tempted by food......"

Before his words fell, there was a sudden abnormal sound in the field--there was a clang, but the sound of the gong was chaotic.

Everyone turned their heads to look, but saw a group of 5 zombies. The zombie that was beating the gong was attracted by an egret that flew crookedly in front of him, and suddenly pounced, and the gong hanging on his wrist slammed into his body indiscriminately. There was a jumble of noises. The egret was very alert, and without waiting for the zombie to run closer, it flapped its wings and flew away leisurely, but the zombie was still chasing on the ground, but after chasing, it was attracted by another group of birds, and turned around and ran around. Disturbed by it. The other zombie teams that were barely neatly "patrolling" on the ridges were also chaotic, some changed the direction of progress, and some were staring at the birds.

Xi Jiachao hurriedly said to Chen Qiong: "Quick, push me over." ”

Chen Qiong pushed Xi Jiachao to trot all the way, where he passed. Once again, the zombies quieted down and honestly returned to their "jobs".

After Xi Jiachao calmed down this inexplicable turmoil, he returned to Chen Wei and the others: "Look, that's it, zombies are zombies after all, and sometimes their predatory instinct will surpass my orders." ”

Chen Wei frowned: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Xi Jiachao said: "It doesn't have to be too troublesome, but I need to patrol around regularly to deepen the zombie's obedience to orders." ”

Chen Wei glanced at Chen Qiong, which meant that Chen Qiong would have to keep an eye on the field, and he had to stay behind to guard the necessary guards.

Chen Qiong was extremely well-behaved, and took the initiative to say: "Mom, then I'll stay here, anyway, I have a schoolbag and some homework can study by myself." ”

Uncle Chen said on the side: "There is a pergola there, Chen Qiong, the child can rest there, there is an electric fan in it, and I will accompany the child." ”

Chen Wei thought about it, if he just pushed Xi Jiachao around every once in a while, and there were people from the Ministry of Agriculture helping by the side, it would really not be a heavy job, so she nodded and agreed.

Chen Wei told Chen Qiong a few words to be careful of heat stroke, and then took Guan Xin and others back to Yinjiang Town, back to the town, Guan Xin hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Wei, saying that there were collective activities in the Ministry of Armed Forces.

Chen Wei then remembered that this last elimination system was formulated by Wang Lu when he was in Yashan in order to make up for the shortcomings of the big pot of rice, pinching his fingers, it has been a month in a hurry, and it is really time for the first time when the last elimination system is implemented. All departments will organize and implement back-to-back secret ballots in a unified manner.

Chen Wei remembered the report locked in the drawer of her home calling for the abolition of the big pot of rice -- the last elimination system will offset the bad effects of the big pot rice to a considerable extent, and this secret ballot will play a role in beating some backward elements. I also have some reason to give an explanation to the ministers of various departments who have implemented a performance system with one mind.

However, some departments do not need to do anything to eliminate the last place for the time being, such as the Ministry of Health and their own Ministry of Education, a total of single-digit people, they don't have time to do the work, who will be eliminated.

Chen Wei went back to her home to take care of Xie Ling with peace of mind, and at the same time, in the field, Chen Qiong just pushed Xi Jiachao, accompanied by Uncle Chen and several uncles from the Ministry of Agriculture, to take a turn in the field and return to the straw shed.

Uncle Chen didn't look at Xi Jiachao, who was in a wheelchair, and pushed the wheelchair to the corner of the grass shed, so he hurriedly took Chen Qiong's hand, turned on the fan, and called a wet towel: "Come on, come on, Miss Chen, this is well water, it's much cleaner than Yinjiang water, fast, wipe it." ”

Chen Qiong hadn't finished wiping her face in this compartment, and there were tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons and other fruits in the compartment, all of which had been soaked in well water.

Chen Qiong hurriedly said: "Grandpa Chen, I can't eat so much. ”

Uncle Chen couldn't help but say, smashed open the watermelon with a fist, and stuffed the largest piece into Chen Qiong's hand: "Eat, you are small, it is the time to grow taller, you should eat more, this girl, you can't be too thin, it's good to grow more meat." ”

Chen Qiong had no choice, so she had to give the melons and fruits to the old men of the Ministry of Agriculture who were present and stuffed them into her hands one by one, and then she gnawed her watermelon carefully.

Outside the hut is the scorching sun. Because there is an electric fan in the grass shed, the roof and the ground are watered, and there is still a little coolness. After a few old men ate melons and fruits, they fell crooked on a few bamboo couches and took a nap, Chen Qiong pursed her lips and smiled, and moved a chair. Push open the textbook on an old Eight Immortals table and start studying on your own.

Xi Jiachao looked at the side with cold eyes - if he suddenly ordered the zombies to rush in at this time, the old man in this shed. Xiaoxiao, but he is no match for the zombies - he doesn't know that Chen Qiong has a very special ability to "purify", otherwise, Chen Wei would not be at ease to withdraw the manpower of the armed forces department no matter what.

But this thought was just a flash in Xi Jiachao's heart, and it quickly disappeared into nothingness. However, even this abnormality was also noticed by Chen Qiong, she suddenly raised her head from the textbook, frowned and looked at Xi Jiachao. Xi Jiachao met her gaze and looked back calmly, Chen Qiong sensed again and again, but did not find anything unusual, so he buried the textbook again.

Xi Jiachao looked at this girl and suddenly thought, if his daughter grows up, should she study?

Probably not. 's own daughter, but a smart corpse, she should lead countless zombies to run rampant across the land, what kind of book to read.

However, thinking of his daughter being disheveled and even naked, biting humans with bloodthirsty zombies, swallowing large pieces of flesh and blood, Xi Jiachao shook his head silently, no, this is not good.

Xi Jiachao does not reject cannibalism, he eats his colleagues in the health center with relish, but when he thinks of his daughter, who also eats cannibalism for a living, Xi Jiachao always can't accept it for some reason.

His own daughter should be like the female doll in front of her, quietly reading the book, learning the knowledge accumulated by mankind for thousands of years - Xi Jiachao is from a formal medical university after all, and he still respects elite education in essence. In his previous life, studying, staying abroad, getting a prestigious diploma, finding a decent and rich job, and then waiting for a man to love her and spoil her is the life of his daughter.

No, that's certainly impossible! Her own daughter, the daughter who will be born one day in the future, she is a smart corpse! It's a new species on the planet! The overlord at the top of the food chain!

Study? Learn? It's ridiculous! Learn English or Math? Or is it physical chemistry? Hell, the Wise Corpse doesn't need that! My daughter, she doesn't even need to learn a language because she can communicate through brain waves! A person only speaks about 200 words per minute, and the amount of effective information contained in it is pitiful, and in the face of the transmission of brainwaves at the speed of light, it is scum.

But is there really nothing to learn? Without knowledge, would you let your daughter become an idiot who doesn't know anything like a zombie?

No, absolutely not, that's my daughter, not a blood-drinking beast. Knowledge is power. With the aid of knowledge, the intelligent corpse can be more powerful. But what kind of knowledge is necessary for a wise corpse? And, where can I find a school that teaches the knowledge of the corpse? What living person would have the audacity to teach a class to a wise corpse? I studied medicine, and I don't know much about some of the science content. Speaking of which, Chen Wei from Yashan opened a school, this family is really weird, what kind of class is she taking in this last world, and she actually assigns homework.

Xi Jiachao was lost in his thoughts for a while, he looked at Chen Qiong, who was studying hard, and for some reason seemed to see his daughter's future, Chen Qiong raised his head and glanced at Xi Jiachao - strange, this guy's brain waves just now were very weird, a bit like - a bit like he was looking at the intelligent corpse baby in his wife's belly.

At this time, the straw shed suddenly broke into a person from the Ministry of Agriculture: "Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen, why are you dozing off here?" Don't forget, you'll have to vote today. ”

Uncle Chen, who was snoring loudly, was awakened, wiped his face with his big hand, and smiled at Chen Qiong and said, "Look at your Grandpa Chen, you are actually asleep, alas, you are old, and your energy is unbearable." Chen Qiong stood up and wrung the towel to Uncle Chen: "It's not a big deal." She pointed out to the hut, where there was a silent gong in the field, "They are very honest." ”

Uncle Chen rushed to the scene: "What are you doing?" ”

Come to the human: "Uncle Chen, you forgot, today is not to engage in the last elimination vote, everyone is waiting for you in Mingfeng Villa." ”

When Uncle Chen heard the last elimination system, his face suddenly sank: "What to vote for, I'm not interested in the old man." ”

The person was stunned: "Don't vote?" How can that work. The people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs are still waiting, saying that they will report the results when they come out. ”

Uncle Chen waved his hand like a fly: "If I say not to vote, I will not vote, and whoever likes to vote will vote." ”

The person came and said stupidly: "This is not good, you are the head of our Ministry of Agriculture, if you don't organize it, everyone will be embarrassed to vote." ”

Uncle Chen rolled his eyes: "That's just right, just don't vote." He glanced at the other old men in the grass shed: "Hey, if any of you want to vote, go to Mingfeng Villa by yourself." ”

The people who followed Uncle Chen to the field were the people he used the most, and he was usually the most able to speak, so he said in a mess: "If you don't go, it's a waste of time, it's better to sleep again." ”

The people who came felt bored, Ai Ai was spinning in a circle in the same place, and Uncle Chen waved his hand: "I don't embarrass you, you go back and tell the ladies of the Ministry of Civil Affairs that the worst thing in the Ministry of Agriculture is my old man, and this time the last one to be eliminated is the old man." (To be continued.) )
