On the sixth day of the cataclysm, I was awakened by a thunderclap, the sky was overcast, and the rain was not very heavy. Hong Tao got up before half past five, mainly because she woke up in the early autumn around her, she said that she was not used to having a man next to her, and she didn't fall asleep much all night.

"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true, today is a good day, open the door...... Kill zombies......" I was very happy to see the cloudy sky and rain outside, and hummed a little song while washing.

"Leader, a rainy day is a good day?" Liu Quanyou and Sun Jianshe didn't have to work the night shift because they had to go on a mission, but they didn't sleep well that night, and everyone had panda eyes. But the spirit is not bad, just after half past five, I climbed the wall to prepare for breakfast, and I couldn't help but ask when I saw Hong Tao so happy.

"Hey, hey, according to my observation, zombies prefer to bask in the sun, and when it rains, they all hide and don't move around, which is a little less troublesome. But don't listen to me, the observation time is too short, and you have to slowly explore what the characteristics of zombies are. ”

Spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, and Hong Tao told about seeing zombies basking in the sun. But this is only a one-time phenomenon, and it is not yet possible to draw conclusions about whether it is accidental or inevitable.

"Eat and eat, fried fritters and steamed buns today, take whatever you like. It's just that the time is a little tight, I didn't have time to soak beans and grind soy milk, there are millet porridge and rice porridge, let's make do with it first! ”

While speaking, Zhou Jinlan had already shouted in the kitchen, she was indeed a virtuous helper, and she made so many delicious meals in less than an hour. The fried fritters that are extremely troublesome in the eyes of Hong Tao and Chu Qiu are as simple as the following noodles in the hands of others.

"Lao Hong, do you think it's too extravagant for us to live like this? Do you need to make a plan or something, and make the management of existing materials more standardized? While eating a hot breakfast, Liu Quanyou had a new idea.

"......" The people at the table immediately stopped chewing and stared at Hong Tao.

"No, now our resources can be said to be inexhaustible, especially non-packaged food, vegetables, frozen meat, you can eat as much as you can, their shelf life is too short. In the future, I will only have to eat a variety of canned food, instant noodles and packaged foods every day. By the way, brother and sister, do you know how to pickle vegetables? ”

Hong Tao waved his hand very boldly, this question should be clear in early autumn, I told her about it, but these later people, including Jiao San, haven't figured it out yet. What to save, eat as soon as you can.

In particular, fresh vegetables will not be stored in cold storage for more than 3 months. The problem is that cold storage requires electricity, so let's say, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat green vegetables for a long time in the future.

However, Hong Tao also lived a hard life for a few days when he was a child, and even if there was no cataclysm, the supply of fresh vegetables was still insufficient. Especially in winter, there is almost nothing but Chinese cabbage, potatoes and turnips. What to do, people will make many kinds of vegetables into pickles in the summer, and the taste is not as good as fresh, but it is still a dish anyway.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that...... Yes, great, I don't only know how to pickle pickles, but also make sweet garlic, laba garlic, pickles, sauerkraut and kimchi! As soon as she talked about making pickles, Zhou Jinlan immediately talked a lot, and counted a lot of them with her fingers, and the spirit of the whole person was different.

"Well, then the people who stay at home today will have work to do, pickle all the vegetables that can be pickled, there is no shortage of bottles and cans, and the jars under the root of the wall can be used. I went to the other two yards to find the dishes, and I guess some of them are not rotten. If it's not enough, wait for us to come back, tomorrow we will go to the small supermarket in Ganshui Bridge, there should be more! ”

Regarding Zhou Jinlan's changes, Hong Tao saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that in addition to Sun Jianjian, he also rescued a very useful talent. That's right, it's talent, and the definition of talent in the last days is completely different from before.

Whoever can benefit everyone is a talent, even if the pickles are good. On the contrary, even if you are a postdoctoral academician and have designed a space station, if you are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, and you are powerless, you will neither kill zombies nor dare to kill people, it will be a big waste.

"But, but I won't......" As soon as he heard that he was going to stay at home to pickle pickles, Zhang Tao, who was secretly glad that he didn't have to follow Hong Tao out and fight with zombies, immediately came to the problem again.

"Xiao Zhang, you can't learn. Now it's not the same as in the past, as long as you have the money to place an order, someone will deliver hot meals to your door, and you must only be self-reliant! ”

For this young man who can't do anything, eats well, and has a lot of strange words, Liu Quanyou is about to lose patience, and unceremoniously gave the correct answer.

"Xiao Zhang, you are still young, learn more things, and endure more hardships are not afraid. When I was young, I had a lot of hardships with my master and apprentice, but as long as I learned the craft, I would be much more comfortable in the second half of my life. The old people often say that craftsmen who do not die of hunger in a famine year, and they can eat wherever they go if they have a skill! ”

After Liu Quanyou criticized, Sun Jianshe also wanted to say a few words. He is showing up and using his own experience to educate young people not to be too impetuous, and to learn as many crafts as possible.

"Okay, okay, let's get ready to go, let's check the armor and weapons again, I'll go and count the tools, don't forget the same!"

Are Liu Quanyou and Sun Jianshe right? That's right, it has to be a golden word. Will Zhang Tao listen to it, definitely not. Hong Tao is very sure of this, children like him who have grown up in the new era have basically never suffered hardship, and what they think is bitter is not bitter.

It is useless to rely on persuasion alone, the only way to wake them up is to be frustrated, a big setback, but it is only possible to wake up, and I dare not guarantee it. In this case, there is no need to bother to annoy people, and maybe it will cause contradictions. The current environment is like nothing else, there are frustrations all over the street, and there are many opportunities.

At half past seven in the morning, an off-road vehicle and a large motorcycle carried the expedition team out of the gate of the courtyard, and drove to the east without hesitation with the expectant eyes of a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people behind them.

Jiao San still carried a breathing crossbow on his back and rode a big motorcycle as a striker, always a few hundred meters away from the off-road vehicle behind. Sun Jianshe drove an off-road vehicle to follow behind, maintaining a fixed speed.

Why let him drive, he strongly demanded. When he knew that the car was a manual transmission, he said that he must be the most proficient in playing manual transmission among these people, so proficient that he could increase and downshift without stepping on the clutch and relying on the accelerator and brake alone. Hong Tao felt that he didn't have this ability, so he simply let Xian go.

Liu Quanyou's work unit is not far from the east gate of the Temple of Earth, but if you enter from the east and south, you have to pass through two communities. Hong Tao did not choose these two directions, but let the car go around Hepingli Middle Street and planned to enter from the north side, so that he only had to pass by two 18-story residential buildings, and theoretically encountered many fewer zombies.

When you arrive at your intended location, there are already zombies at the entrance. They were standing motionless by the wall, as if asleep. But when someone entered the detection range, they immediately reacted and quickly moved closer to this side.

It's just that the detection range seems to be within 100 meters, which is much shorter than the last time I tested it myself. If there are no individual differences, it is the rain that affects their sense of hearing, smell, or some kind of sensation.

"Lao Liu, take the spear, let's open the way in front. Don't be afraid, learn from me and get familiar with it a few times. "Jiao San's long-range attack power is good, Sun Jianshe tried the steel plate crossbow yesterday, and the accuracy is also very good. Hong Tao used the two of them as archers, and he and Liu Quanyou walked in front as meat shields.

"Yes, yes...... Call...... I will try not to drag everyone back......" Liu Quanyou has tried all the methods that can be used to reduce pressure in the car, but it still has no effect, should it be trembling or trembling, should the legs be soft or the legs are soft.

"Don't worry, we won't leave you alone. We're not going to bomb the bunker, it's best to get in, we can leave if we can't do anything, safety first, as long as people have a way sooner or later. ”

Looking at Liu Quanyou, whose little face was pale and trembling all over, Hong Tao began to throw relief pills. Some people are afraid that they are just too close to death, and it would be much better if we could give them a hint that they are comfortable moving forward and retreating.
