The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

It is said that some bases now only allow people with supernatural abilities to enter the base, and if the rest of the people cannot provide a certain amount of food and supplies, they are not allowed to enter the base at all.Even if those people are the family members of the supernatural beings, they need to pay at least a certain amount of crystal nuclei, otherwise they can only live in temporary houses outside the base - build them manually.

And living in those houses, once the base is surrounded by zombies, there is almost no possibility of those people surviving.Not all bases have such a large city and defense force as the Southwest Base today.

Therefore, in order to maintain the leading position of the No. [-] base in China, the Southwest Base now needs to fight fires everywhere as much as possible.

What made them even more troublesome was that... Zombie fish appeared in the moat outside the city.

In fact, not only the newly dug out small broken river outside had such weird things, but also these things appeared in the nearby rivers, and even the drinking water originally used in the base... It seems that it was because of the water that went in. Zombie fish caused a large increase in zombie viruses in the water.

Now the base's drinking water is all supplied by the water-type abilities, and the price of water has started to skyrocket.The value of the water-type ability user has also increased many times, becoming one of the most sought-after ability users in the base.

Luo Xun and the others have also become busy now, not all because of the work at the base, but because - it's September, and the crops at home have already begun to harvest.

Those green leafy vegetables that are always planted and harvested in four seasons need not be specifically mentioned. Those long-term crops are now harvesting one after another.It is only mid-September, and the time for large-scale harvest will have to wait another half a month to a month or so, but now they have to harvest one after another after returning home every day, divide and dry some of the crops that need to be stored for a long time up.

In the past two days, everyone has been running to the house after work-the two ladies can't bring a child to deal with these things every day, can they?These men are serious heavy physical workers in the family.

Don’t even think about all kinds of fruits this year, all the fruit trees in the house are almost impossible to bear fruit in the first year, and Luo Xun didn’t expect them to produce any fruit in the first year, so the apple trees, orange trees and other things in the house he They are raised and pruned at the same time, so that they can be as thick as possible and not grow too high. The main reason is that the height of the roof is limited. You can’t pierce the roof for these things, right?

Although there are almost no fruits harvested this year except for watermelons, in fact, the various vegetables they planted are enough to supplement everyone with various vitamins and ensure everyone's nutrition.

After returning that day, Luo Xun took Yan Fei and started with Xu Mei and Song Lingling—picking eggplants and drying them.

In the past two days, they have already dried some eggplants that are basically mature and not yet old. After all, although they have space on the outer wall, they can’t dry so many things at once. By the way, take some time to get rid of them while selling vegetables in the morning - last month they couldn't go out because of the zombie siege, but this month they have to go out for a walk and check the situation, so they must deal with these things at home in advance , so as not to let it go bad.

Dry vegetables such as dried eggplants that are exposed to the sun are good things to supplement your dinner table in winter and spring.It's a pity that everyone has no meat to eat now. Otherwise, if you use these dried vegetables to stew meat, the taste will definitely make people drool just thinking about it.

"No one is looking for trouble today, right?" Autumn is a good harvest season, and it is also a good time for those who usually idle around in the base to sneak around.

Luo Xun and the others have been more vigilant since the first day they started drying things, for fear of attracting thieves.

"No, the shutters outside our house are relatively dense, and it's hard to see what's hanging inside from the outside." Song Lingling laughed.

The shutters made by Yan Fei can only be seen clearly from a certain angle. There are many things that need to be dried at home these days, so they took off some of the solar panels hanging on the wall and put these things that need to be dried hang out.

Fortunately, there have only been a few rains at the base recently, and the sun is usually very strong, so it didn't delay anything.

Xu Mei also sighed with a smile: "When I went out today, I heard that the family on the first floor of the community was burglarized again. His family usually planted something in the window, but a few days ago someone broke the glass and almost stole it. The garlic they had just collected was stolen by someone hanging by the window the other day.”

The food at the base has become more and more difficult these days, and even the farmlands of the base have been crawled into and stolen in the middle of the night one after another, let alone the outside?

Luo Xun shook his head slightly, and sighed: "It's usually just the two of you at home, be careful, there may be people who don't have long eyes to stare at our house." It's winter time of the year again, not everyone is like his team It seems that preparations have been made in advance, and so many things have been planted. Although my family has a "bad reputation" because of catching thieves before, it is hard to guarantee that there will be extremely hungry people who will die. "Our rice will be harvested next month, and maybe someone will follow us by then."

They can only use traditional methods to harvest and crush rice husks, and they need to be dried in the sun before storage to avoid mold and rot during storage.They have planted a lot of rice this year, if they are targeted by someone...then it will be very lively.

"Don't worry, we are at home during the day, and we will never let us lose a grain of food!" Xu Mei solemnly assured that they knew the seriousness of these things. Most of the food they ate now was bought from the military. Luo Xun I also stored some at home, and took them out one after another as rations for everyone. This batch of rice this year may be our rations for the next six months or so. If something happens, everyone will be hungry by then.

Several people stood or sat at the big table, Song Lingling took Xiao Xinran to clean the vegetables, Luo Xun cut the eggplant into large slices, Xu Mei and Yan Fei threaded the eggplant slices one by one with threads.

In such weather, these things can be exposed to the sun for a day, and most of the moisture inside can evaporate.After drying, put it in a bag made of non-woven fabric for storage, which is breathable and cool, so you don't have to worry about getting dirty and moldy.

Some of the bags that everyone uses to store these things are collected and purchased by Luo Xun before the end of the world, and the other part is slowly exchanged for purchases with the points everyone earned.Just like those solar panels they hang on the wall now, like the pile of batteries at home and some other things, they are all public property of the team.

Li Tie and the others returned home around six o'clock in the evening. They had dinner in the cafeteria before coming back.Seeing that only four of them entered the door, Luo Xun asked casually, "Zhang Su is working overtime again today?"

"I don't know. Zhang Su sent a text message saying that he has something to do at night and has to come back later. Wang Duo will stay and wait for him. We will come back first to help you."

The eggplant slices were already at the end, Luo Xun clapped his hands and handed over the work to the four of them, then got up and went to the window to check the vegetables that had been dried outside a few days ago.

Squeezing it with his hands, Luo Xun felt that the dryness was about the same before he nodded in satisfaction: "Put them in later, and then let them hang out."

"Brother Luo, when can we make pickles?" He Qiankun suddenly licked his lips and asked, there is actually no shortage of pickles in the base.Pickles are a good thing, especially when the amount of grain and vegetables is relatively small.Put more salt into it, not to mention less consumption, but also enhance the taste and supplement the salt.

But the premise is that they have to be delicious!

Many dishes in the canteen of the military camp are now replaced by various pickles. Pickled radish is a dish, and pickled cucumber is also a dish, but these pickles have no advantages other than "salty"!Not to mention the tasteless taste, many vegetables are made from the unpalatable mutant vegetables after the end of the world.

Luo Xun laughed, turned around and said, "We can make pickled vegetables after we harvest them. Why worry if we don't have all the ingredients yet?" Luo Xun knew several ways to pickle pickled vegetables, including pure salty, There are pickled pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi.The methods are very simple, and they are basically the methods he has used in his previous life, so it is not difficult to operate.Among them, the most troublesome one is of course the pickles, which must have enough sauce to pickle repeatedly. Now the sauce in their hands... only Luo Xun saved before the end of the world.It is said that there are not many such things in the base, and you can only exchange all kinds of salt when you go to the redemption window.

Li Tie quickly raised his hand: "Do you want to change some more salt these few days?"

"Okay, we don't want too much of that stuff, and it won't break anyway." Luo Xun nodded in support. Although the base was hardly short of salt in his previous life, sometimes the price of this stuff would fluctuate. Keeping some at home can also prevent accidents. occur.

Now that Li Tie and the others are back, Luo Xun and Xu Mei can go back to eat separately.Taking the little guy who was wagging his tail all the way back to the sixteenth floor, the couple returned to the fifteenth floor after dinner to help collect the things hanging out of the window and hang out the freshly stringed eggplants.

"The cowpeas and beans are almost ready." Luo Xun walked around the three rooms on the fifteenth floor where all kinds of crops were planted, studying their maturity.Pointing to a metal shelf for planting, he said, "Mark these few, the crops inside will not be harvested, we will save the seeds."

Yan Fei didn't even lift his hands, and an "x" appeared on all four sides of the shelves, indicating that the things in these shelves should not be moved.

Li Tie and the others stared at the cowpeas, beans and other things that were said to be harvested soon. They didn't know anything else, but they had eaten pickles made from cowpeas!

Luo Xun pointed to the vines full of cucumbers on the side of the room again: "The peppers at home are almost grown, let's make some coir raincoat cucumbers to eat later."

"Okay! Brother Luo, have you ever eaten the current cucumber in the base? It is said that it is a mutated cucumber. It is quite big and has a lot of moisture, but the taste of that thing...is like chewing sawdust..." For He Qiankun, who was most troubled by the taste of food, twisted his expression on his face. He pulled his clothes regretfully and sighed, "I have lost so much weight since the end of the world..."

Everyone looked at his shrunken face in unison. He Qiankun has indeed lost weight, but his figure after losing weight is still much plumper than others. If it is as wide as one and a half, it must be at least two and a half of Luo Xun now.

Wu Xin, who was on the side, patted He Qiankun's stomach, and then touched his waist: "What are you? My waist is almost A4 waist, and there is no pressure to touch my belly button with my backhand!" He sighed again Touching his own face, "Why does the oil and water become less, and the beans still pop on the face every day?"

Everyone was laughing and chatting while they were busy working. Xu Mei, who was sitting at the door, heard the sound of metal colliding in the corridor and hurriedly opened the door and went out.After a while, Zhang Su and Xu Mei came in together.

"Why so late? Another major operation?" Luo Xun asked casually.

Zhang Su threw the bag in his hand into Wang Duo's arms casually, and snorted coldly: "Someone wants to treat someone to dinner."

"Good thing, how much meat did you eat today?" Luo Xun squinted at him, he still carefully remembered that the last time someone swept away all the meat leftovers on the table.

Zhang Su curled his lips unhappily: "It didn't work out."

Wang Duo covered his mouth and sniggered behind him. Seeing that Zhang Su was unwilling to speak, he opened his mouth, panting with laughter while explaining: "Several groups of people got together, and they met at the entrance of the hospital in order to get my family Su Su to eat. , and finally got into a fight... We thought they might not be able to finish their work for a while, so they went directly to the cafeteria to have dinner and then came back."

Zhang Su is a famous person recently——their hospital.Although he has been a big celebrity there since before, it's just that his current "fame" has given him a group of "admirers" who go around the hospital all day long, trying to get to know him, be familiar with him, and finally hook him up. .

This group of idlers wanders around the hospital in different ways every day so that Zhang Sulai and Zhang Sulai have a "romantic" encounter. Unfortunately, there are more wolves and less flesh. good time.

However, even if they don't miss the opportunity, generally speaking, there will be no good results. Zhang Su is not a fool, plus his queen temper, who is the boss of the sky, the second son of the earth, and the third son, who can get it in front of him? benefit?

So these people could only use their brains and try their best to send the best-tempered and most naughty people to strike up a conversation with him.Most of the Chinese people cannot do without the word "eat" in establishing relationships, opening up contacts, and making friends.Especially in the last days, how can ordinary people eat any good things?As a result, more people came to invite Zhang Su to eat, and Zhang Su would not politely push Bai Lai's food away—you can eat as long as you invite me, and eating is not about drinking, and I am afraid of being drunk up?

In addition, Wang Duo was afraid that his dear Highness would be abducted, so every time someone wanted to invite Zhang Su to dinner, he would accompany him even if he didn't eat a bite all the way, so the food of these two people was obviously the team's food recently. The best of the others.

Luo Xun and the others understood Zhang Su's personality. If he was so easy to be trafficked, then everyone in the world would probably be sold to zombies for rations.With him following, Wang Duo wouldn't have any problems.So everyone just took these things as jokes and stories to relieve boredom.

Wang Duo danced and told everyone about the lively scene when those people were fighting. Wang Duo and Zhang Su watched the excitement at the entrance of the hospital for a long time before Shi Shiran went to the cafeteria for dinner. So how many of those people were knocked down? They saw clearly when he was brought into the hospital.

Luo Xun listened for a while, then turned his head and said to Xu Mei and the others: "We will go out to the base in a few days. In addition to continuing to harvest these crops, we have time to squeeze the mushrooms into juice."

"Okay, let's do it in the morning when we have nothing to do." Xu Mei nodded and promised to complete the task.

In addition to the mushroom juice and drying the crops, Luo Xun and the others also need to deal with the vegetables that will be sold in the military camp the next morning.Although the price of original vegetables is slightly higher now, the price when the military buys these things... is a little higher than that of mutated plants.

After discovering this problem, Luo Xun and the others decided to temporarily reduce some green leafy vegetables that grow faster and are harvested in a short period of time, and instead plant some crops that require a longer growth cycle.In addition to keeping what everyone needs to eat at home every day, only those that are afraid that they will not be able to eat are sold to the military camp.

In fact, if Xu Mei and Song Lingling were allowed to bring vegetables to the market to sell every day, they could sell them at a relatively good price now, but considering that these two are female players, there are almost no single women in the base now. With the current situation of daring to go out alone, Luo Xun still feels that it is better not to earn this money for the time being - some common crops can be produced in the base in the first year, but in the second and third years, they will gradually be all grown Mutant crops with faster cycles and higher yields are replaced.At that time, their things can be sold at a good price.

The two still took some vegetables to the cafeteria to report early the next morning.Seeing the purple eggplant on the car, Captain Li came over with bright eyes, carefully smelled and smelled the incision on the eggplant, and nodded vigorously: "That's right, it's an ordinary eggplant!"

"Have mutant eggplants been cultivated in the base?" Luo Xun asked suspiciously. He hadn't eaten mutant eggplants in the cauldron for lunch these days.

"A few baskets were delivered yesterday afternoon. The taste..." Captain Li shook his head regretfully. Yes—those eggplants are all blue! Who dares to eat them if they are of that color outside?” He looked at the two of them with a smile, “If you still have them, send them over, many people want to eat them.” Eat with this stutter."

Luo Xun smiled: "We only bought a few seeds from the base at the beginning, and we planted a few plants in total, and we have to save some seeds." Why did they insist on maintaining this price even though the price was getting more and more unsuitable for the military camp? way?Isn't it because if the contact is cut off, it will be difficult to contact again when the military raises the price to buy in the future?

As it is now, although the quantity is small, the business relationship is always maintained intermittently, and some things will be easier to discuss.

Although Captain Li really wants to buy more of these authentic vegetables, but he can't force them to take out all the vegetables in the house because they say that their production is small.What's more, it's not that these vegetables are completely absent in the base now?Although most of those things are specially provided for certain leaders, and the people who handle the vegetables are also chefs with superb cooking skills in the base, but a professional counterpart like Captain Li will definitely be able to pass through from the middle. It is not difficult to leave a star and a little bit for the tooth-fighting festival.

After selling the good vegetables in exchange for the crystal nucleus, the two came to the gathering place and waited together to take a car to the city wall of the outer base.When Luo Xun and the others arrived, the members of the same team were gathering together to gossip.

"It is said that half of the people in a company died! The rest of the people were also injured and sent to the hospital!"

When Luo Xun and the others just arrived, they heard this sentence, and they asked curiously, "What happened?"

Seeing that it was Luo Xun and the two who had come, the few people who were chatting lively quickly spread the word to them—"I heard that a team came back this morning, and there were a hundred people when they went out. I heard that only one of them came back alive. Half! The rest are also wounded!"

"What did they encounter? The third-level zombies?" In fact, everyone encountered the third-level zombies in the last defensive battle, but the scene was too chaotic at that time. I can see something special in it, but I can't understand the difference between them and the first- and second-level zombies when they attack.

Recently, however, I heard that many military teams have encountered these high-level zombies outside.

Another person quickly said: "I heard that it's not a zombie! They encountered a monster! I don't know what kind of zombie animal it is. The boss is alone, and they met in the middle of the night, and they were almost wiped out by the group!"

Luo Xun and Yan Fei looked at each other, and quickly asked carefully: "What type of monster? Do you know where you met it?"

They can't tell the specific news, they only know that the monster is tall and big, but it is said that these people are the monster they encountered on the way to a salt transshipment center in the northeast of the city.

It was only when everyone got into the car and headed toward the outer wall that Yan Fei discussed with Luo Xun in a low voice: "What do you think that thing will be?"

Luo Xun's expression was a bit tangled: "Some high-level zombies and zombie animals will become larger, but after the spring of next year, there will be many mutated animals, and almost all of them will become very large and possess special abilities... …I can’t say what it would be without seeing that thing.”

Special zombies, mutant animals...
