Reborn after the apocalypse, my whole family is stockpiling like crazy!

Zhi Nanyi was already waiting for Xu Hean in the space. Looking at the oleander outside whose branches were rapidly withering, he was a little proud: "Great, now we just have to wait for its roots to die completely."

About ten minutes passed.

Zhi Nanyi and Xu Hean came out of the space and looked at the two oleander trees that had completely died. Zhi Nanyi walked around the trees.

"Aren't you very powerful? But you still can't escape my super weed killer!"

"Why is it still foggy around here?" Zhi Nanyi asked Xu Hean puzzledly.

Xu Hean also discovered this and observed the surrounding situation: "If my guess is correct, all the oleander trees in this area are intertwined and rely on these two trees for nutrients. Although they have died, their root systems are well developed and are still providing them with life force."

"okay I know!"

Seeing Zhi Nanyiyi coming up with another clever idea, Xu He'an just smiled at her lovingly and supported everything Zhi Nanyiyi did. Zhi Nanyiyi directly released the dog from the space.

"Woof woof woof!" Looking at the surrounding environment, the dog barked a little scared.

Zhi Nanyi asked Xu Hean to push down the two trees, pointed at the roots and said to Gouzi, "Go, Wanzi, burn everything here!"

"Woof woof!" After receiving the order from its owner, the dog wagged its tail excitedly, and sprayed fire from its mouth, aiming at the location that Zhinanyi pointed at. Soon, even the two large trees were burned black by the dog's fire.

Watching the fog around him slowly disappear, Zhi Nanyi took the dog back into the space.

"It's so desolate here." The tree roots were still burning. Zhi Nanyi looked at the gradually emerging environment around him with disdain. The illusion disappeared, and only some dead grass and dry branches were left around, without a trace of life.

Zhi Nanyi used his mental power to investigate again and made sure there was no danger around before calling everyone out of the car.

"Everyone, take a rest here for a while. When these two big trees are less dead, we can just pour water on them to extinguish them and turn them into charcoal. We can put them in the car and take them back to keep warm. It will definitely be very good."

Zhang Yong nodded in agreement: "This tree trunk is really thick. It can burn for a long time."

"You guys, give me a hand and get the things into the car later." Zhang Yong pointed at the people behind him and instructed.

"Okay, Base Commander."

Seeing that the wood was almost burned, a person with special abilities stood up and directly used water to extinguish the still burning oleander trunk. After all the branches became cool, several people began to carry them onto the truck.

“These things are pretty heavy.”

"Of course not. Two trees that thick will be enough for many people to burn for a while if we pull them back." Several people talked as they carried the firewood. Although everyone had no shortage of firewood, it was quite troublesome to go out to the mountain to get firewood in such weather. Now that there was ready-made firewood, everyone was unwilling to give up and was very active.

Zhang Yong walked over and looked at the tree trunk that required several people to hug. "This thing is really thick. How many years did it take for it to grow this big? No wonder it became a spirit and bewitched us."

Zhi Nanyi turned sideways and said, "Uncle Zhang, it's not so thick because it has grown for a long time. It grows so fast because it uses the zombies and passers-by as fertilizer. Look at the roots of the tree, they are all white bones."

"What!" Zhang Yong felt a chill on his back after hearing Zhi Nanyiyi's words. Although he was quite knowledgeable, this was the first time he heard of plants using humans as fertilizer.

Finally, Zhang Yong couldn't help his curiosity and walked over to take a look. Seeing that the huge tree hole was full of bones, his blood pressure soared. He walked over to Xu He'an and said, "He'an, you said that these plants have mutated into this state, then what about the animals and zombies? Will they also become like this in the future?"

"We can still barely deal with the zombies now, but if they start to mutate like these plants in a while, won't there be no way for us to survive?"

"As for the ordinary people in the base, it's already difficult for them to survive in the current situation. If everything mutates, the pressure on the base will only increase. They have to bear the livelihood issues of so many people, and they can get food for free. Others will definitely have objections."

The more Zhang Yong thought about it, the more headache he felt. Originally, he was full of confidence when he received the task of building a base. He thought that after the base was built, he would settle all those people who were hiding everywhere in the base. With everyone working together, the apocalypse would end one day.

Later, everyone began to awaken their special powers. He felt that this was an opportunity given by God to people so that they could have the ability to fight against the zombies that were biting people everywhere. He followed the team out to complete missions and look for supplies, but he found that for the number of ordinary people in the base, the supplies he could bring back were really a drop in the bucket and were not enough at all.

If it weren't for Xu He'an, he wouldn't even know that the deputy base commander was a traitor, and would have thought that Guo Junsheng just wanted power.

"As the plants begin to mutate, the abilities of the psychics will also upgrade. However, we do need to balance the ordinary people in the base. We can't always let the psychics go out to complete missions and bring back supplies to feed them. People are lazy."

Hearing Xu Hean say this, Zhang Yong knew that he had some ideas, and looked at Xu Hean expectantly: "Hean, do you have any good ideas?"

Xu Hean nodded: "Uncle Zhang, if you want the base to develop steadily and safely in the long term, you must let the ordinary people in the base take up arms to protect themselves, instead of just staying under the protective wall of the base."

"Those young and middle-aged men can also take up weapons through training and go out with the psychics to kill zombies and search for supplies. Women can do the same. If they can't kill zombies, they can just go out and pick up crystal cores. Through their own efforts, they will have more confidence when distributing supplies in the future, and the psychics will have fewer complaints."

"During this re-registration, we also counted everyone's previous industries. I took a look and found that there are many teachers and other professionals. We can let them go back to work. There are so many children in the base. Education cannot be abandoned. We must pick it up again."

"People who are good at carpentry, electricians... and people from all walks of life can all be reasonably allocated, so that the base can operate faster, instead of being like it is now, where most of the psychics are complaining in their hearts."

Zhang Yong patted Xu He'an on the shoulder and said, "He'an, I'm lucky to have someone like you to give me advice. After I go back, I will start to arrange this matter."

Zhi Nanyi walked around and came back to stand next to Xu Hean.

"We thought we had been running for so long that we were almost there, but we kept going around in circles in this illusion created by the oleander."

"It's okay. We can't get there tonight anyway. Once we get the wood ready, we'll go check out the house in front. Although this is a desolate place, it's still nice to have a house to shelter us."

"Is it the house we just passed by?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Yeah, after all, the weather is still cold, and burning fire outdoors is likely to attract attention. With the shelter of a house, everyone can have something hot to eat at night." Xu Hean explained.

"Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to go over and take a look at the house and see if it's habitable." Zhang Yong gave instructions to Xu He'an and ran over to arrange for someone to do it.

"I didn't expect that plant mutations are more powerful than zombies. He'an, do you think the animals in the mountains have also mutated? If there are only one or two of them, it's easy to deal with them. But if we encounter a group of them, we have to go around. It's better not to take Uncle Zhang and the others on this adventure."

Xu Hean nodded and agreed with Zhi Nanyiyi's words. Thinking of the animals in the mountains that Zhi Nanyiyi mentioned, Xu Hean leaned over and whispered to her.

"I just used my supernatural powers to explore. There are prey in the mountains behind. After we settle down, we can go and take a look together."

"There are animals in the mountains. Is there anything that can be sensed?" Zhi Nanyi asked curiously.

Xu Hean's beast taming ability has actually never been upgraded. Even though his other abilities have been improved, this one is still progressing slowly. But it is still sufficient for now, and he can tame any animal he encounters.

"They are probably livestock that have fled to the mountains. They are not intelligent, so I can only sense them roughly but cannot communicate with them."

"Okay, even if it's mutated, it's still edible, and it's said that the meat of mutated animals will be more delicious. Today is a good opportunity for us to try it together." Zhi Nanyi said this with a bit of greed. She had to avoid Professor Wang and Sun Bin and the others during this period, and she really hadn't eaten meat for a long time. This was really a torture for her who couldn't live without meat. Today she could finally satisfy her craving.

Zhi Nanyi thought about the inspection he had just made around him and continued, "But we still need to be careful here. These oleanders can mutate into spirits. The 'fertilizers' also nourish the land, so other plants also have the chance to mutate into spirits. I'll discuss with Uncle Zhang tonight and see how to arrange the shifts at night. It's dark at night and still dangerous."

"Don't worry, Nannan. I'll go down and discuss this with Uncle Zhang."

After giving instructions to Zhi Nanyi, Xu He'an went out to find Zhang Yong to arrange the shifts for the night. It was agreed that people would be changed every two hours, and then Xu He'an came back to help set up the tent.

After Zhang Yong had hidden all the vehicles, he walked in from outside with a tent in his hand: "He An, this tent is for you to use. Two girls can't just lie outside like rough guys like us. This living room looks big enough, so a tent can fit in it."

Xu Hean waved his hand and rejected Zhang Yong: "We also have tents here, don't worry, brothers have to take turns on duty tonight, and if there is a tent to sleep in, the brothers can also sleep well."

Seeing that Lao Jin and the others were also packing up their tents, Zhang Yong did not refuse and took the tent to the other side to set it up.

Zhi Nanyi observed the house for a while and said to Xu Hean, "Let's go upstairs and take a look."

Although the base commander's men had checked the second floor and found nothing special, Zhi Nanyi had a hunch that there must be something on the second floor.

It is very abnormal for this house to appear in this location. There are no other houses around it. It looks like an abandoned building. However, although the structure and decoration inside this house have been destroyed by zombies, it can be seen that it is not an abandoned old house.

He told Lao Jin and the others to continue setting up the tent, while Shen Qingqing and Tielang prepared to make a fire. Before going out, Sun Bin steamed a lot of steamed buns and asked Zhi Nanyiyi and the others to take them. It was almost time for dinner, so the two of them got busy.

Zhang Yong's men also brought their own dry food. Zhang Yong told Shen Qingqing that they were going to prepare some porridge and asked Zhi Nanyiyi and the others to come and eat together. Shen Qingqing thought it would be bad to refuse, so she agreed, thinking of taking out a few boxes of luncheon meat from the space later for everyone to have a meal.

Zhi Nanyi and Xu Hean went up to the second floor: "This second floor is so different from the first floor, there's not even a piece of furniture."

Zhi Nanyi looked here and there, and she really found something strange.

"Ah Xu, come here, there's nothing behind this wall!"

Xu Hean walked over, looked at the wall that Zhinan was pointing at, and knocked on it with his hand: "It's indeed empty."

Zhi Nanyi used his special powers to explore behind the wall. The things behind the wall made Zhi Nanyi's eyes sparkle.

"There's actually a small room at the back, and it's filled with all of Cha Cha's favorite things."

"what?"

"what?"

"where is it?"

Before Xu Hean could speak, Cha Cha came up first.

Zhi Nanyi laughed: "The thing behind this wall is what you like."

"Shiny stones?" Cha Cha asked with an uncertain tone.

"Yeah." Zhi Nanyi got a confirmed answer.

Cha Cha began to mutter in Xu He'an's ear: "Master, the most handsome, the most handsome master, please knock down this wall quickly."

Unable to bear Cha Cha's "noise attack", Xu Hean simply pulled Zhi Nanyiyi into the space, and then appeared in the room behind the wall the next second.

Zhi Nanyi was a little speechless when he looked at the two neatly stacked "walls" of gold in front of him.

There were a few boxes on the ground next to him, and Xu Hean walked forward and opened the boxes.

"Nannan, come and see."

Zhi Nanyi's eyes could not leave the two dazzling golden walls, and she glanced at the box that Xu Hean opened.

He saw weapons and bullets inside, then he looked away and continued looking at the golden wall.

This is too glittering!

Zhi Nanyi waved his hand and put the golden wall into the space, then turned his attention to Xu Hean.

A box of wood, two boxes of bullets, and a box of antique gems.

"He An, tell me, whose house was this before? This place is in the middle of nowhere, right? Aren't you afraid of things getting lost?"

Xu Hean shook his head and told Zhi Nanyi to put away the things first. Hearing Shen Qingqing's voice, the two returned to their original room first.
