On May 6, 2019, one month and three days after the virus outbreak.
On the national highway in the northern outskirts of City H, Shen Shi'an carried a thick long sword on his back, and walked around the abandoned vehicles that could be seen everywhere.
"Stop messing around," he said back, "follow up, it's getting dark soon."
"Hey!" A child behind him who looked no more than four or five years old responded. He cut off the head of a zombie with a knife in his hand, reached in and dug out, and pulled out a transparent spar the size of a marble.
He wiped his clothes clean a few times, then put on his back the Tang Dao that was half higher than his whole body, and ran to Shen Shi'an with a bang:
"An'an, here you are!"
Shen Shi'an took the spar and put it into the space, and felt that the spring had sucked the spar in again, and the flow of the spring water increased a little with a slight change, and his eyebrows stretched, but they frowned again when his eyes focused on the child , took out two disinfectant wipes and squatted down to wipe his hands: "How many times have I said, don't just pick out the zombie's brain with your hands."
Shen Xun stretched out his two paws obediently, and the wet wipe soaked in alcohol was cold, and it was itchy between his fingers when he rubbed it. The cloth strap on the shoulder used to carry the knife slipped down, and he quickly raised his hand and rolled it back.
Shen Shi'an saw it: "Take back the knife, and I'll give you another dagger that's shorter." The Tang knife was too big, reckless and heavy, standing on the ground taller than a child, even if it was tilted His back would also slam on the ground, just like ants moving house, and he felt tired and flustered just looking at it.
Shen Xun quickly grabbed the strap: "No! I want this one!"
"why?"
"This one is majestic and domineering, and it's super handsome to use!"
Shen Shi'an: "..." I'm not very old, but I have learned to be smug.
However, the child's use and proficiency with this Tang knife really exceeded his expectations. With the astonishing power, he danced the knife like a tiger and tiger, and the speed of chopping up zombies was far superior to that of ordinary people. Level, Shen Shi'an estimated that if it was him before the kung fu advanced, he would not necessarily be his opponent if he really wanted to fight.
Of course, my physique has been greatly improved by soaking in the Lingquan from time to time. This little thing has sucked up the entire spring, and it would be unreasonable not to produce some inhuman abilities.
But his other ability made Shen Shi'an a little jealous—probably because he was transformed from a dog, and the zombies had no interest in him at all. Even if he swaggered past the pile of zombies, none of the zombies would take the initiative to attack. At most, when he was attacked by him, he would slow down and resist.
This kind of ability can simply walk sideways in the apocalypse, and it can just neutralize the attraction of Shen Shi'an's spirit spring to zombies.
Probably, the racial talent of being a dog
The child insisted on using the Tang Dao, but Shen Shi'an had nothing to do. After wiping his hands and the blood and brains on his clothes, he stood up and continued walking. Ordinary zombies wandering between vehicles are no threat to him, and they can be dealt with without drawing a sword and lifting their feet.
After leaving the library, he stayed in the outskirts of City H for more than a week, one to stock up on fuel, and the other to collect mutated zombie crystal nuclei.
Fuel is relatively easy. About 14 or 15 gas stations have been run, and each gas station collects about one-tenth of the fuel storage capacity. At present, there are more than ten tons of gasoline and diesel in the space, which is enough for them to drive all the way. to the capital.
The crystal nucleus is a little more troublesome. This kind of crystal nucleus that can be absorbed by the spring only exists in the brains of mutated zombies, and mutated zombies are not common, or they are only common in places where zombies gather. The flow of people in the outskirts of the country is low, and the distribution of zombies is relatively scattered. There are only twenty-three crystal nuclei collected in so many days.
At this time, I regretted that I didn't deal with more mutated zombies in the process of escaping from the library. There were tens of thousands of zombies surrounding the library, and there were at least a few thousand mutated zombies inside.
In the process of collecting supplies, he encountered four waves of rescue teams, all of whom rushed over from the nearby military area, and were responsible for transferring the survivors to the nearest safe haven, and did not go to the capital. Shen Shi'an originally wanted to try to see if he could borrow the military's communication equipment to get in touch with Mr. Gu, but the other party replied that they couldn't get in touch with the capital.
Regardless of whether this statement is true or just used to politely reject civilians’ refusals, Shen Shi’an is not good at continuing to pester them. After telling them that there are more than 50 survivors in the city library, they will leave. As for whether the other party will choose to enter the zombie-studded place Saving people in the city center is out of his control.
Shen Xun tightened the cloth bag containing the knife, and chased after him to hold his hand: "An'an, when are we going to eat in the space?"
"What, are you hungry?"
There should be quite a few survivors who chose to escape from the northern national highway, and then abandoned their cars for various reasons. He and the children had already walked for nearly two kilometers, and the queue of abandoned vehicles that was congested in front of them still did not end.
Bending down to pick up the child, he took the Tang knife on his back into the space first: "Wait a little longer, we will go in when the sun has completely set."
The setting sun is as red as blood, dragging a long shadow behind it, and there is silence everywhere. The evening wind blowing in the wilderness blows away the rotten smell in the air, and the weary birds returning to the forest pass by among the clouds , There is a bit of romantic and beautiful poetry in the free posture.
When the last ray of sunlight was hidden below the horizon, the congested vehicles finally came to an end.
With a thought in mind, Shen Shi'an disappeared in place with Shen Xun.
Compared with more than ten days ago, the space has changed greatly. Shen Shi'an used the collected grass seeds to expand two lawns of more than 100 square meters on the black soil, one for storing fuel oil and the other for storing non-food materials.
The time still function on the second floor of the bamboo building is too precious. Shen Shi'an decided to use it only for food storage, and planned fixed areas according to categories such as raw food, cooked food, fruit, and packaged convenience food, so that it is very convenient to find or take things. .
"Take off your coat." Shen Shi'an said to the child, then took his dirty clothes and threw them into the washing machine together with the clothes he wanted to change.
He put the generator in the open space behind the bamboo building, filled it up with diesel and set up the circuit. Now the space can already use electricity normally, and there are no shortcomings except for the louder sound.
Water is a little more troublesome. Although there are spiritual springs and brooks in the space, the spiritual spring water is too precious to be used to wash clothes and dishes. So in addition to fuel, Shen Shian went to residential buildings to stockpile a large amount of tap water as domestic water. source.
Shen Xun was holding a fruit bowl full of cherries, and followed him like a tail: "An'an, what shall we have for dinner tonight?"
Shen Shi'an was in a pretty good mood: "Order, we'll cook it tonight." The rice-topped bento prepared before leaving home hasn't been finished yet, so don't worry about putting it on the second floor, the journey is still long. Eat and take as you go .
The child's eyes are as bright as a light bulb. After more than an hour, stewed fish belly with bean curd sticks, pear and pork lung soup, roasted pork with potatoes, boiled prawns, braised pig's trotters, shredded sweet potatoes... and cooked in a rice cooker The steaming hot rice filled the table.
After eating and drinking enough, the child went to the second floor to get a box of ice cream as dessert after obtaining Shen Shi'an's consent. Shen Shi'an cleaned up the table, took the bowls and chopsticks to the edge of the bamboo forest behind the house and was about to wash, Shen Xun came over with an ice cream in one hand and a small bench in the other: "An'an, I will help you."
Shen Shi'an smiled, thinking that this son was not raised in vain.
In just ten minutes, the child broke three bowls.
The flow rate of time in the space is different from that of the outside world. One day in the real world is almost two days in the space, so Shen Shi'an usually spends half of the time resting and the other half farming.
He found a lot of seeds in the farmer's market in City H, so besides tomatoes and cherries, there are now about two mu of sweet potatoes and about one mu of strawberries in the field.
Sweet potatoes are planted early and can be eaten a week ago. They belong to the red heart variety with relatively high sugar content. They are sweet and soft and well-proportioned. They are about one-third the size of a football. Whether they are steamed, boiled, baked or fried Sweet potato balls are extremely delicious, especially shredded sweet potatoes, which have recently become one of Shen Xun's favorite sweets.
The strawberries were just planted yesterday, and the growth time is about the same as that of tomatoes, and the whole process of flowering and fruiting was completed in just three hours. The aroma of strawberries grown from absorbing Lingquan water is particularly strong. As soon as I walked into the strawberry field, I was greeted by the alluring sweet aroma. After staying for a little longer, it seemed that even my breath became sweet.
Shen Xun wanted to eat it last night, but Shen Shi'an refused, because the shelf life of strawberries is very short compared to other fruits, so he wanted to see if the preservation effect in the space had any effect on it. If the effect was not enough, he had to eat them all as soon as possible Pick them and put them on the second floor of the bamboo building.
So far, the effect is not bad, the bright red and watery ones don't look much different from when they just bear fruit last night.
Turning to the child, he said, "You can pick it. Be careful not to drop it when you pick it. Remember to wash it before eating."
Taking advantage of Shen Xun's buttocks picking strawberries, Shen Shi'an walked out of the strawberry field and went to the tomato grove. It has been more than four months since he planted the first batch of more than 2,000 tomato trees. With his constant consumption of changing patterns, the fruits on more than 500 tomato trees have all been picked.
Originally, he was still worried, the tomato trees were so tall and big, and after the tomatoes were picked, he wanted to restore the land to the state of cultivation. It was estimated that it would be a big project to cut down one by one, and the cut tomato plants would also Not easy to handle.
Unexpectedly, when all the fruits on the first tomato tree were picked, the whole tomato tree shrank back to the normal plant size at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally fell down in the ground and disappeared without a trace. , to recycle the nutrients in the plant.
This is really another surprise brought to him by the space. In this way, the reuse of land is much simpler.
At present, there are six fields in total on the black soil, which are small in size from the outside, but they form a world of their own after entering. One for tomatoes, one for cherries, one for sweet potatoes, one for strawberries, and two lawns for storage. The black land occupied together is about 10 square meters, that is to say, there are nearly 5,000 square meters of original land waiting for further development and utilization.
In view of the short growth cycle of herbs, they can mature within a few hours, and there are still a lot of vegetables stored on the second floor of the bamboo building, so he does not plan to grow vegetables for the time being.
Rice and the like are too troublesome to grow, and he has no experience in harvesting or shelling, so he doesn't think about it until the stored rice is eaten.
The growth cycle of woody plants is long, but he has no seeds or seedlings. If you meet the right ones on the way, you can transplant a few.
After making a rough plan in my heart, I raised my head and called the child to go home: "Let's go, go back to sleep."
We have to drive at full speed tomorrow morning.
