The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

The division of labor and cooperation of several people continued for a week, and finally, the preparations for the fifteenth and sixteenth-floor houses were all done...

"Huh? Look at the top. I remember that only the windows on the sixteenth floor have iron shelves outside? How come it seems that I didn't pay attention all day, and even the outside of the fifteenth floor is full?"

"Why didn't you pay attention all day? Isn't there an iron fence outside the window on the fifteenth floor?"

"But what about the other rooms?"

"Who knows, there's nothing hanging on the shelf anyway."

The solar panel is flat, and it is more conspicuous if it is taken out and placed outside, but it will not be so noticeable if it is covered by a relatively strict metal fence.

In the past few days, Luo Xun and the others have exchanged a lot of solar panels with the points that everyone contributed together, but they still haven't been able to completely cover the walls outside the two floors, and they need to make persistent efforts.

Last month, Xu Mei and the two of them brought back all the soil needed for the two floors one after another like ants moving house, and now they have all dried and put them in neatly arranged planting racks.

In the corridor on the fifteenth floor, there is only a row of planting shelves in front of the doors of the rooms near 1503 and 1504, and two freezers and a washing machine are lined up on the outer part.

This washing machine was exchanged by Li Tie and the others before, and it was specially used as a public washing machine for everyone—except for Luo Xun and his wife, of course.The two freezers are placed here to prepare and store the harvested vegetables, and they are not powered on now.

A refrigerator that everyone got back last time is also put in the room of Li Tie and the others, because the crops planted by their family are now being harvested one after another, and they need to be used after harvesting.

And now, Luo Xun is taking Xu Mei and Yan Fei, and together they are bringing out boxes of sprouted seedlings from Xu Mei's home.

There are all rice seedlings here, and what they have to do now is-planting rice seedlings! !

Except for Xu Mei's room on the 15th floor, the rest of the rooms are going to be planted with a layer of rice on the middle floor, which will be their future source of rations! !

Although the current otaku team has a lot of people, if these three houses and the rice that Luo Xun planted before can grow smoothly, then if they are planted in rotation with other food crops, they can fully afford it. They are a group of people eating!Luo Xun's goal is high-quality mutant rice. Of course, even if he can't produce high-quality mutant rice, the price of normal rice without mutation will be much higher than that of unpalatable rice with low yield in the future. Large common mutant rice.

Luo Xun's family has at least one meal a day without eating food at home. People who go out to work, such as Li Tie and Zhang Su, can also eat two working meals a day in the base. Only three meals are really eaten and used at home. A lady with a small appetite, so if their crops can grow smoothly, no matter what kind of rice they harvest, it will be converted into their net income.What's more, their benefits are not limited to these?

Originally, the number of seeds and seedlings prepared by Luo Xun's family was not enough to fill these rooms, but everyone was very lucky to encounter the home planting industry being promoted in the base, and the planting price for foreign exchange was astonishingly low!In addition, both Luo Xun and Li Tie can get some connections, and the price of seeds they can exchange is very low.Planting these two floors is no problem at all!

A group of people walked into 1504—this room is the same as 1501, a three-bedroom house with a relatively large indoor area.Now it has been filled with rows of iron shelves.These iron shelves are divided into three layers, although it seems that there are only two layers.

Needless to say, the bottom layer must have a bunch of inconspicuous drawers with holes in them. In the drawers, pieces of processed wood have been placed, and mycelium has been cultivated on them, waiting to grow mushrooms slowly. This is usually fine. There is no need to deliberately pay attention to and care about it.

The upper layer of the mushrooms is the "field" that has been paved with soil and gathered in rows, waiting for the seedlings to be planted in.After planting, it will be poured with clean water.

Of course, these iron shelves were all designed by Luo Xun. He designed the upper and lower water outlets so that the water inside can be drained and circulated in time.Under the top of these shelves is a row of fluorescent lamps - these are the lighting facilities.The upper shelves are also filled with soil. If you want to cultivate or pick vegetables, you can easily climb up the ladders erected next to each shelf.

The space of the upper shelf is lower than that of the lower shelf, and only some vegetables and crops that will not grow too high can be planted, such as potatoes, onions, and various green leafy vegetables.According to Luo Xun's 1603, the upper layer of a row of shelves against the wall in the room is equipped with iron pipes for climbing and is ready to be planted with various plants that need climbing vines—they can climb all the way to the densely packed space under the ceiling. Putting up a pergola really makes full use of all the available places in the room.

With the same design as here, there are two other empty rooms on the 1603th floor. That is to say, except for the room where everyone lives and the various fruits and vegetables that have been planted in [-], the rest of the rooms are all food. , Grasping vegetables with both hands at the same time, never wasting any inch of space.

Even on the corridors and stairs, Luo Xun and the others are planning to use them to grow vegetables that do not require long-term sunlight, such as lettuce and asparagus.

As for the rooms where other people live, Luo Xun has already decided - if his own fruits can produce seeds this year, let these rooms mainly grow some fruits and fast-ripening vegetables.Now nature is directly used to grow vegetables, which is easier to care for and faster to harvest.

Insert the seedlings into the soil one by one, because there are only so many seedlings that can be planted today, Luo Xun uses these seedlings to teach Xu Mei and the two of them by the way, and the seedlings that grow after that can be directly handed over to the two Ladies come to plow.

After the seedlings were planted, Song Lingling stood next to the water tank in the bathroom, and started pouring water into it.After watching the water in the water tank accumulate to a certain level, Luo Xun waved his hand: "Release the water!"

A trickle of clear water flows into the planting boxes where the seedlings have been inserted, adding vitality to the room.

Looking at the rows of planting racks that have been completely processed, Xu Mei and Song Lingling's eyes are also full of joy. This feeling of planting and cultivating by themselves is really great!Although they are just some young plants, the vitality they represent can be felt thoroughly and fully.

"Okay, that's about it for today, let's go back and distribute some other vegetable seeds and plant them one after another." Luo Xun turned around and looked at the two ladies with a smile.

On the fifteenth floor, the small bedroom of the three of Xu Mei has also been transformed into a nursery room, and the usual seedlings are all grown and cultivated in this room.In addition, Luo Xun also allocated about half of the small quails as public supplies for the team to allow Xu Mei and the others to raise them on the balcony of their home—letting these two girls raise these weak little things is comparable to handing them over to Li. They are much more reliable.

These are considered the team's public property. As for Luo Xun's own 1604 and everyone's private room, they still belong to them.Regarding the public property purchased by the otaku team this time, Luo Xun and his wife contributed the most. Although one of them, the captain, should have paid more, but after a clear agreement, everyone decided to wait for the property to have benefits, in addition to staying and continuing to expand the public property. In addition to the property, Luo Xun and Luo Xun will take the bulk of the share for each person, and the others will get more or less according to their respective contributions.

On this point, there is Yan Fei, a person who is proficient in this way before the end of the world, so naturally no one will have an opinion.

With joyful smiles on their faces, Xu Mei and Song Lingling walked out of the room with Luo Xun: "Then let's go buy food first, and take Xinran back to eat later."

"Be careful on the road."

After bidding farewell to Luo Xun and the two ladies, they returned to the 1603th floor, and after opening the door of room [-], the little guy who heard the voice ran to the door with Xiao Xinran, who was laughing and laughing.

"Uncle, uncle, the little guy just peed over there!" The little girl complained when she came up, but the little guy didn't understand me at all, and he didn't know that the little playmate who was carried by it sold him at the first sentence. up.

The corner of Luo Xun's mouth twitched and looked towards the direction Xin Ran pointed out, and sure enough, he saw a suspicious liquid that was gradually drying up on the corner of a shelf.Although this thing can also be used as fertilizer, but... I really can't get used to this stinky problem!Obviously I have taught this guy to pee and poop in the bathroom!

He raised his hand and flicked the little guy's forehead. The little guy closed his eyes and took two steps back with a bewildered expression. The speed of the swinging tail behind him slowed down, but he still didn't understand why he was flicked by Luo Xun.

"You are black-backed! Smart black-backed! Not Erha! Where did you learn this expression?" Luo Xun pointed at the increasingly stupid dog face, and then came back to his senses—now It's not the time to teach it to be stupid, but to tell it not to pee in the room!

Yan Fei smiled as Luo Xun led the little guy to the metal stand and began to scold and explain the reasoning, but he was reluctant to continue playing it.How can it be effective to teach a dog whose IQ is only four or five years old at most, and who has a tendency to become stupid recently?

The little guy has always been very good in the original 1604, except that he likes to use the slippers as a dining table and occasionally hides a few slippers. , it somehow has such a stinky problem.Although it wasn't too frequent, but every few days he would secretly come here, which made Luo Xun somewhat regret whether he should have bought a bitch back in the first place to save his worries?

Some of the vegetables in 1603 were about to be harvested again. After checking, the two sent a message to Captain Li in the barracks cafeteria, saying that another batch of vegetables would be delivered tomorrow, and they would be in touch soon.

It didn't take long for Xu Mei and the two to go home with the meals they bought.Luo Xun gave them both a ball of lettuce—this is his own property, not public property.

Thank you Luo Xun for obviously giving Xiao Xinran vegetables for supplementing vitamins (for some reason, the little girl likes to eat lettuce like the little guy, and she doesn't like other vegetables too much) "When we came back, we saw another open space downstairs in No. 2 It's been dug up."

Luo Xun was not surprised: "A mutant plant again?"

Xu Mei shook her head: "We didn't see it clearly, but I remember that there seemed to be a lot of things planted there before, and the surrounding fences were quite dense, and now even the fences have been demolished."

Since the base encouraged everyone to start building parcels of land and growing vegetables, the benefits and effects have not been seen, but many problems have arisen.

Because of the examples of pioneers like Luo Xun and the others, when the base sold the seeds, it also included a planting manual, which printed the basic planting knowledge, and there was an important reminder - those who want to reduce plant variation Probably, it is best to grow with distilled clean water.

But who would be so troublesome like Luo Xun to deal with water all day long, and use the water extravagantly to grow vegetables?In order to save trouble, many people boil the water once at most and use it, but even so, many people still think it is a waste of coal.The vast majority of people simply chose the most common tap water, and only groups with water-type abilities would deliberately use the purified water to plant land.

Therefore, before the plants are fully developed and harvested, they have already begun to mutate.Although some of the mutated plants are edible, they just don't taste very good, but there are also some mutated plants that are aggressive!These plants are not noticeable at the seedling stage, but the appearance is different from ordinary ones, but once their roots are firm, they can absorb a large amount of nutrients from the soil-mutation, only overnight.

After one night, all the surrounding vegetables were strangled by the mutated plants for their own nutrition. The ferocious branches with teeth and claws waved wantonly to attack everyone passing by within its attack range, and some even spit out venom to attack distant targets.

In this way, if the roots are not uprooted and completely burned, the place will be useless at all, and it will also cause harm to passers-by.

Therefore, the outdoor planting places that can be seen in various communities are often dug here and pushed to the other side.As for those who grow vegetables at home or on the balcony?Sorry, I haven't really paid attention to this, anyway, Luo Xun and the others don't know the situation very well.

Early the next morning, the couple drove to load the vegetables, and Li Tie and others followed to help carry the things.What needs to be sold this time is not only the harvest from Luo Xun's two houses, but also the vegetables from Li Tie's and others' homes.After Luo Xun determined the team's production model, he counted his own 1603 into the public planting area, but this time the harvest was still his own, and then it would be incorporated into the entire team's income, according to different contributions. distribute.Similarly, the crops in other rooms will benefit somewhat at that time.

And even now, Luo Xun decided to give Xu Mei and Song Lingling some crystal cores after returning this time. After all, although it is only his own private property for a month, these two ladies have contributed a lot to the usual watering and management.

Everyone got in the car and went out of the community together. When they passed by the gate of a nearby community, they saw a group of people fighting lively at the gate. Several people hugged and rolled into a ball, rolling from the inside of the community to the sidewalk outside. Surrounded by a circle of idlers watching the fun, pointing and gloating.

"Is it so lively in the morning?" Wang Duo, who loves gossip the most, and after being taught by the queen, suppressed the gossip in his heart, lay on the window of the car, wishing he could go out to inquire about the news immediately.

"Okay, come back tonight if you have anything to ask, and be careful not to be late." Luo Xun was also very curious, but they still had more important things to do now.

"Hmm! I'll just take a look, I won't go down..." Wang Duo reluctantly pressed his face against the car window, causing his facial features to be distorted. Zhang Su, who was standing beside him, didn't even have the intention to look him in the eye, and crossed his hands On the chest, seeing his appearance, Li Tie and the others had no doubt that he would kick Wang Duo anytime soon.

The car drove into the barracks and stopped at the old place at the back door of No. [-] canteen.Because the harvest was more this time, the other party got out a small trailer and prepared to carry things after weighing.

Captain Li, Luo Xun, and Yan Fei stood aside chatting and watching others carry them.

"Didn't a lot of people grow things at home and outside their doors recently? Do we collect vegetables from outside?" Luo Xun asked curiously, while turning the corner to inquire about the news.

Captain Li sighed: "It's not that there is no such thing. You may also know that the exchange window outside is also serving as a vegetable collection business now, but many of the vegetables delivered are mutated, and now we don't dare to use them here. I heard that some other A part of the cafeteria was used and it was determined that there is no problem after testing, but the amount is not too much."

Not only are there not many, but they can't even catch up with the large yield of vegetables grown in the barracks and under the walls.After all, the vast majority of people grow vegetables at home for their own livelihood. Unless the price of vegetables soars, few people are willing to exchange them for points and crystal cores.

Luo Xun and the others took advantage of the fact that most of the vegetables grown in their own homes were normal vegetables, so that they could find a suitable way to sell them in advance.

"Recently, some people who grow vegetables outside have a lot of mutated plants. Many people around our community have dug the land they planted into pits. This may also affect the production." Luo Xun then mentioned this matter. .

Unexpectedly, Captain Li's expression suddenly became serious, and he said to the two in a low voice: "Not only the vegetables grown in the community have problems, but more than half of the grain sown in the fields last month has problems!"

"Eh? Something went wrong? What's the problem?!" Luo Xun was taken aback and asked quickly.

Captain Li glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to the three of them, so he whispered: "Didn't it rain a few days ago? I heard that after that, at least half of the seedlings in the field that had no problems were colored They all started to turn yellow. At first I thought it was a pest infestation, but after checking, I found that the plants were growing well, but the color changed—they all turned into mutated plants!"

Luo Xun raised his eyebrows in surprise, and whispered in surprise: "Didn't the military find a way to reduce the mutation rate of plants?"

"I found it, but that method can only be used when the seedlings are sprouting..." Captain Li smiled at the two of them, "I heard that the research institute has tested it, and although the color of the plants has changed, there is no problem with the composition. , and it is not poisonous, nor does it produce aggressiveness, it is just a simple mutation in appearance, as long as it can mature and produce seeds in the end, it should be fine."

Of course it's ok, but the taste is a bit unpalatable.Luo Xun nodded when he heard the words, and didn't ask any further questions, and even if he asked again, Captain Li might not know the deeper news.This kind of rice with a yellowish color in the whole plant is the most common mutant rice in the last days of the previous life.The yield is not affected, and the nutritional content is not affected, but the taste and taste are not very good.

"This is today's crystal nucleus." After confirming that there is no problem with the amount, Captain Li handed over the prepared crystal nucleus bag to the two of them.

"So although we grow vegetables in the house, although the cost is a bit high, at least we can ensure the safety of the crops." And fortunately, I specially found some wood, and even put these things in the farming room. Ensure that the plants do not mutate or mutate as little as possible during the growth period.Since the beginning of spring, there has only been one spring rain in the place where the base is located, and it has been so drizzle that even an umbrella is not needed, but it is such a rain that the crops that have been carefully cultivated at the base to avoid mutations have mutated.It's no wonder that the vegetables other people cultivated in the open space of the community have such a high mutation rate.

Yan Fei nodded: "I'd better get back some solar panels and lamps and put them at home, and keep them for replacement in case they break down accidentally."

There is another advantage of cultivating crops at home. For example, Luo Xun and the others are now growing rice. As long as they are well managed, the yield may not be as good as the experimental fields dedicated to scientific research, but the yield is still considerable.And as long as it is well taken care of, maybe there is no need to switch to other crops in the middle and continue to grow rice continuously.Of course, Luo Xun still decided to plant some corn or wheat after the autumn harvest, it all depends on the situation at that time.

The topics they talked about in the car and on the way stopped when they came to the place where the teams met, and continued today's work after Captain Guo and others arrived.

The farming team of the otaku team went very smoothly. Not only the crops in the family are growing healthy and well, but even the little quails are growing fast. The earliest batch has grown up and even started to lay eggs!

Xiao Xinran lay outside the big glass tank of her house every day, looking at the little quails inside and the little quail eggs they laid.The little girl really wanted to catch two to play with her, but these things are too fragile, how dare Xu Mei and the others?So I had no choice but to ask the little guy to come and play with the child, so Luo Xun and his wife could see this scene almost every day after they returned home——Xu Mei and Xu Mei’s home and balcony on the fifteenth floor, there was a mouthful of everyone. The glass tank that was specially bought back earlier had soil, vegetables, and a small wooden house like the one in Luo Xun's house, and a group of young quails that could lay eggs.

Yu Xinran and the little guy lay side by side outside the glass tank, pressing a small face and a dog's face tightly against the big glass tank until the faces were deformed and refused to move.

Fortunately, although the quails are relatively timid, once they get used to certain things that will inevitably appear every day-such as two voyeurs.Still quickly got used to this scene.Usually eat and eat, those who should lay eggs lay eggs, and those who should poop should poop.
