On the table were seven bowls of brown rice, two small plates of pickles, a plate of sliced luncheon meat, and nothing else.

It was a shabby meal, but the three-year-old child's eyes lit up when he saw the luncheon meat, and he cried out happily, "Daddy, Daddy, there is meat to eat today!" ”

"Shhhh Be quiet, how did Dad teach you? The fifth brother made a gesture of silence.

Xiao Kai's voice lowered: "You have to listen to Aunt Fang's words, you can't be naughty, don't talk nonsense." ”

The little child's eyes never left the luncheon meat, and it could be seen that he really wanted to eat it, but that plate of meat was quite small, about the amount of a box.

There were seven of them, an old man and a child, and the remaining five, all of whom were adults, and any one of them could be wiped out.

Fang Lin began to divide the meat among everyone, one piece per person, and the plate bottomed out, and the last extra piece was put into Xiao Kai's bowl.

The brown rice was a little hard, and it was soft and rotten without steaming in a pressure cooker, which was something that Kong Qianyu had never eaten. She used to be unpalatable even with Ling rice, but now she has a bowl full of brown rice, and after eating two bites, she can't swallow it anyway.

But except for her, everyone else at the table ate very sweetly, and Gangzi's old mother even wanted to secretly stuff meat into her son's bowl, but Gangzi hid around, making the old man unable to do so.

Xiao Kai took a small bite of luncheon meat, looking intoxicated, as if he had not tasted delicious for a long time, the fifth brother gave the meat in his bowl to his son, and ate the pickles with relish.

Kong Qianyu also put the meat into Xiao Kai's bowl, smiling, without explanation.

After the three big men finished eating the rice in the bowl, they all burped with satisfaction, but Kong Qianyu knew that this palm-sized bowl was three more bowls, and they could eat it, so a bowl of rice that had not been touched much was placed in front of Lao Lu, who was the largest in physique, and motioned for them to eat it separately.

Food in the last days is precious, and people who have been hungry will not waste a grain of grain, and after the three of them confirmed that Kong Qianyu really didn't want to eat it, a bowl of rice was carefully divided into three portions, and they all ate it cleanly.

"Dad, can we eat luncheon meat every day?" Xiao Kai licked his lips endlessly, the meat was so fragrant.

A trace of heartache flashed in the fifth brother's eyes, his son, who was born in this era, has never even tasted the taste of fresh meat.

Kong Qianyu knew when he smelled it that this luncheon meat had expired, and it was so difficult to eat even an expired canned meat, but it was strange that there could be a modified armored vehicle.

Because of the hospitality etiquette in her bones, Fang Lin saw that Kong Qianyu hadn't eaten a few bites, and the three men were very polite to her, so she felt a little guilty in her heart, and while busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, she explained apologetically: "There is an oil storage tank in the northernmost part of our base, but it is located in a remote area, the land conditions are average, and it can only be ripened once a year, and this year's new grain has not yet come down." ”

"Hey, it's useless even if you come down." Gangzi Niang quickly stacked the used tables and chairs, they didn't live spaciously, there was no separate dining room, just in the living room.

"We are here, it used to be wasteland, but now there is no fertilizer and no seeds, it is great to be able to harvest two or three buckets, and it is difficult to expect that little grain to feed the people of the whole base!" The old man was digging in the soil before the end of the world, and she was clear about farming, and now she also has a planting job, and she can roughly estimate the amount of output in the farmland.

The base has a small output, a large population, and some high-level people who don't produce and just want to have fun all day long, I'm afraid that the life of ordinary people like them will be difficult.

So since the beginning of this year, all the points earned by the family have been replaced with brown rice, although it is unpalatable, but the amount is large, such a large family has six mouths to eat, and it is not easy to calculate.

Even a family with three strong laborers can't afford to eat, so what should be done if they are worse than them?

Kong Qianyu also knows that such a large wheat field, from a distance, looks green and gratifying, but in fact, it lacks stamina, and it is a useless shelf.

People have gradually discovered that without modern industrial civilization, they will not be able to do anything, not even the most basic agricultural tools, even drinking water sources can not be purified, even toilet paper has become a scarce resource, gasoline and diesel are not renewable, and guns and ammunition are even less than one round.

The base, which seems to be running normally, is like an old man who is about to die, and has begun to bring out a bit of twilight, waiting for the moment of death to come.

It's just that under the drunken lamp fan, how many people can see clearly? Or that drunkenness and dreams of death are just to escape from reality.

"So, do you want to stay in the base of hope all the time?" There is no hope in the base, there is only the illusion of temporary comfort.

The three men exchanged glances, and the fifth brother said helplessly: "You have also seen the situation outside, it is not suitable for survival at all, if you don't stay in the base, you may not be able to survive even a day." ”

If you stay, you will die, and if you leave, you will die faster, and there seems to be no way out at all.

Hope Base Secret Research Institute.

Heavily armed researchers are carefully removing something from the zombie head on the operating table, small, white transparent crystals.

They were a little excited, which had never been done before!

Since the beginning of the apocalypse, the secret establishment of the institute has not been a hundred but eighty zombies they have dissected here, and they have never found a case of crystals in their heads.

The mass spectrometer that was exchanged for human life was busy working, and finally spit out an analysis report in the eyes of everyone.

"Pure energy body! The viral load is not strong enough to infect the human body, but it can change the structure of human DNA to gain special abilities! ”

This, this, this, this is the light of salvation that mankind has been waiting for! The old researcher reverently held the peanut-sized crystal, tears welling up in his eyes!

His name is Wei Wouji, he is now over seventy years old, the entire Hope Base was built under his auspices, the high-level leaders of the base are his relatives, no one knows the current situation of the base better than him, in the best state, it can last for another two or three years, if there is any accident, it may not even be difficult for a year.

Or he was careless, thinking that he hoped that the base would be wide enough and that it would be smooth sailing.

But now it's okay, as long as humans can evolve and become stronger, what are the zombies?

He has already begun to imagine a bright future for rebuilding his home.

"Pass my order, starting today, a large number of zombie killing missions will be issued, and the base will recover zombie heads for research purposes. As for the reward, add 20%. "There will be brave men under the reward.

"Yes, Lord Base."

The fifth brother was woken up by the sound of slamming the door early the next morning: "Fifth brother, hurry up, the base has released a new mission, and the rewards are rich!" ”

Gangzi went out for a walk as usual, this is a habit he developed when he was a soldier, getting up early to run, because he didn't eat enough, his body was tired, he couldn't run, but he didn't go out to go around twice, he was uncomfortable.

So soon after he went out, he found that the bulletin board was overcrowded. I finally squeezed in, saw what was written on it, and hurriedly ran back to wake up the fifth brother.

A good task doesn't wait for anyone, isn't it just killing zombies, they used to be good at it, and now they are even more powerful.

Dear friends, we are going to go out on New Year's Day, and we will not change it on the 30th and 31st, and we will see you in 2024! Happy New Year's Day to all! All suffering will eventually pass, and all good things are worth running.
