Chapter 25: Return to the Farm and Collect Water
Plugging in the key, Nanxing started the car and drove in the direction of Crackstone Farm.
She needs to reorganize her supplies and farm, and now that she has a car, it's much easier to explore around.
Getting to town is no problem.
She also wanted to know what Will's key contained.
There were also sparse zombies roaming the road, and Nanxing used them to test the car's collision resistance.
is worthy of being produced by the military, and it is easy to crush a zombie.
Except for the fuel consumption, the others belong to the apocalyptic god car.
Nanxing glanced at the fuel gauge, which was probably enough to drive about 50 kilometers.
Counting the oil in the farm's truck, it's barely enough for her to use for a while.
Go to town and collect gasoline and food, what should be enough.
The distance between the farm and the sanatorium is not too far, and Nanxing drove at a constant speed for more than an hour to arrive.
There are really a lot of zombies on the road, and Nanxing also encountered a small group of corpses in the middle, more than thirty, which took her a lot of effort.
When I drove to the farm, half of the gasoline in the car was gone.
The car was parked outside the fence of the farm, and Nanxing took out his binoculars and looked inside.
The farm had not been visited since she left, and it was still the same.
This made Nanxing breathe a sigh of relief.
Zombies are not scary, but people are scary.
It's troublesome.
Knocked on the fence to attract all the zombies roaming around the farm.
She climbed onto the roof of the car and shot the zombie-stained bow and arrow with her sore arms.
Nanxing's quasi-avatar is getting better and better, and of course it may be because of the proximity.
When she settles down, she plans to get a few targets on the farm to practice.
Compared to guns, bows and arrows that don't move much are a sharp weapon against zombies.
The gun was so loud that if you could get a silencer, you could barely use it.
However, she has swiped popular science videos before, and it seems that she still needs a special subsonic play, otherwise the sound is still the same.
She still uses a bow and arrow, make more arrows, and the effect is the same.
After clearing the farm of zombies, Nanxing opened the fence, drove the car in, and parked in front of the box wall at the door.
After getting out of the car, she changed the bow and arrow in her hand for a gun, opened the door with the key, and carefully probed the past with the gun.
There is no trace of no one having lived, and there is no trace of anyone visiting.
A thin layer of ash had accumulated on the table, and the house had a peculiar smell that had not been inhabited for a long time.
Nanxing continued to search the nearby warehouse and tool room that she had not visited, confirming that there was no one else on the entire farm except her.
She sat on the couch, rinsed her mouth and washed her face, and prepared to eat her belated breakfast.
It's 9:47 a.m., and I'm a little full, so I don't have to eat lunch.
There's a lot of work to be done for her.
Nanxing took out the only bottle of mineral water he had left, as well as milk and salt soda biscuits, shriveled apples, and sliced sausages and wheel cheese.
The fire bucket was still in the house, and Nanxing lit the fire and roasted the sausages and wheel cheese on top of the dagger.
The house was full of fragrance, and the unusually rich breakfast was ready.
After eating a meal to his heart's content, Nanxing felt full of strength.
Half of the sausage is left, save it for the evening.
Nanxing went to the forest with a gun, a bow and arrows, and tools.
There was no drinking water in her space except for the small half-bottle of water left from before.
Water must be collected.
The birch sap was supposed to be drinkable, and she remembered to cover the container with some pieces of paper to prevent dust from falling.
If you haven't been contaminated by zombies, you can still use it.
When I returned to the place where the birch sap had been, the container had already been filled with a large amount of water.
In addition to the sap of the birch trees, there is also water vapor in the air, and the humidity of the woods is very high, and a layer of mist is cast in the early morning.
Nanxing thought of another way to collect it.
However, she did not have enough plastic film on hand to use the condom first.
Nanxing pursed his lips and smiled, now he doesn't need to worry about the water.
There were also four unused condoms in her space.
Nanxing looked around and made sure there was no danger, so she first gathered together the water in a dozen containers and filled a bucket full of water.
There should be about ten liters.
Because it is mixed with birch sap, these water stars are prepared to be left for drinking.
She wasn't sure if she could use it to water the plants, so she tried not to use it.
Picking out the right container, Nanxing recollected the tools scattered throughout the forest and found the hoe inside.
This is what she originally intended to use to collect herbs, and now it is used to dig pits.
Dig four pits in the ground and place suitable containers in the center of the pits.
Then spread the condom flat and cover the mouth of the pit, press the surrounding area with soil, and put a small stone on the condom to make it an inverted cone.
Then make a mark to prevent being moved, and she doesn't know.
In this way, the cold air at night causes the water vapor rising from the pit to condense into water droplets on the condoms, and collect and drip down into the container.
In order to gather more water vapor, Nanxing also put a lot of leaves and grass in the pit.
Such a pit can collect half a liter to a liter of water in one night.
When she finds more plastic film, she can dig more pits and collect more water.
Sooner or later, you can take a luxurious shower and wash your hair.
The water source in the wild is too unsafe, and it may have been polluted by zombies at some point.
Nanxing doesn't even dare to use that water for washing.
Although this method is a little stupid, it is safe and reliable.
"Squeak-"
Nanxing looked up, and a squirrel was watching her movements curiously.
Squirrels.
Is there a lot of fruit in this forest?
If you can still be here in the autumn, you can find its winter food and save the emergency.
After doing all this, Nanxing was in no hurry to continue exploring the forest.
Now that the water source is ready, she's going to plant the potatoes.
It only takes two or three months for potatoes to be sown to harvest.
By planting the potatoes, she doesn't have to worry about food.
Although there are only six potatoes left in the space, you can harvest a lot if you plant them well.
It's a full year, enough for her to harvest two or three batches.
Nanxing packed up his things, dug a large basket of drawings in the forest, loaded them in a cart, and temporarily put them into the space.
She wants to take it back to plant potatoes, and she doesn't know if the soil on the farm is fertile.
But seeing that the plants here are so lush, the soil must be fertile.
"Gray-black soil, I'm not going to dig up black soil, am I?" Nanxing muttered to himself as he walked in the direction of the farm.
After planting the potatoes, she had to strengthen the farm and see if there were any other plants on the farm that could be planted.
Tomatoes are also a good choice, as they also have a short growing cycle.
