food crisis [end times]

The person in charge was a member of the village committee, and the corners of his lips stiffened slightly, and he said awkwardly: "So you have something to do with this place. What about your aunt?"

Mustache snorted coldly: "It's none of your business! Let me tell you, this belongs to my old aunt's house. Did you get my permission? You just came here! You guys move out for me now! I can still treat it as nothing. It didn't happen, don't let me drive people away! Wherever you go!"

The smile on the person in charge's face gradually disappeared.

"You said it was yours? What evidence do you have?"

Mustache was startled, and said angrily, "You mean you don't want to leave?"

Several big men behind immediately surrounded him.

At any rate, the person in charge has seen some things in the world, although he is wrong, but in this world, it is really uncertain who owns a brick factory.

Waving to the back, more than 50 people gathered around in a yard, all of them are strong laborers!

When everyone crowded at the door, it appeared that the crowd was huge.

The person in charge sneered and said: "We have already reported to the authorities. If you think we should not be here, you'd better go through the official process. If you let us go now, I'm really sorry, please please one by one. We walked."

It's true that the person in charge doesn't want to offend the person, but the person who comes to the door is looking for trouble, so the comparison is who has a tough wrist.

The mustache was shocked when he saw so many people coming.Besides, they are all quite strong, obviously they haven't been hungry much.

In this world, those who can not go hungry are basically those with some skills.There are about fifty people here, and all of them look like dragons and tigers. Could it be that there is some origin?

But I haven't heard of anyone around here who has developed power.

Fifty people are at least a medium-sized organization, and it is impossible to be really unknown, and there is no news at all.

The mustache looked at the person in charge with a dark face, and then at the people behind him.

Thinking about the possible consequences of being strong.

Obviously, being an enemy is not a good choice.

The expression on the mustache's face turned a few times, his face was still dark, and he asked, "Which incense do you worship?"

This is the slang word among those local ruffians.For example, if you are a thief, you can say worship to Avalokitesvara, and if you are a fool, you can say Guan Gong.

The person in charge has heard about it, but he doesn’t know how to reply. He just smiled and said: “We are ordinary people, isn’t this a monster? We want to surround the village. Let’s use your place to burn bricks, and leave when enough is burned. .We all have families and businesses, and it’s useless for you to ask us.”

It doesn't sound like you're lying.

"Then which village are you from?" Mustache asked again.

The person in charge is hesitating whether to speak or not.What if he said it was Ten Mile Village, where mushrooms were grown, and the other party became ill-intentioned?

According to the current fungus package, it is enough for them to think about what they shouldn't have.

At this moment, the soldier who had previously filled out the report noticed something was wrong outside, and came out with the wooden warehouse in his arms: "What happened!"

Everyone was still wondering where the soldiers went, and when they saw them, they immediately ran over: "Comrade, you can count them here. They came to make trouble, they insisted that they belonged to their relatives, and there was no evidence, so they drove us away!"

In fact, it stands to reason that there should be two soldiers, and no matter what, one should be left among the people.It's just that there are only some wells in the brick factory. Although the wells are deep enough, they can't get a drop of water without electricity, so they can only be sent from the village.

So another soldier will bring a few villagers to drive a tractor to bring water.One is the drinking problem of the villagers, and a large amount of water is also required for the maintenance of the bricks and the subsequent mixing of mud.

At present, the water resources in the village are running out, and no one knows when the last well will dry up.

Zhu Yan stood behind the crowd and looked at the mustache. The sky was getting darker, and he couldn't see it clearly from this angle.

But even so, Zhu Yan still recognized the other party.

Is it him?

When the mustache saw the People's Liberation Army, his expression changed.

Hearing the person in charge's explanation, the soldier said unceremoniously to Mustache: "First of all, you have to prove that you have obtained the authorization from the original owner. According to the regulations, all places without owners are temporarily managed by the state. They came here through Approved. If you are really authorized to take over here, please use the above to negotiate with us about rent or loss. But here, please leave!"

If it's ordinary people with ordinary hair, they naturally want to be kind, but the people like Moustache are obviously not good at dealing with them, so they should focus on deterrence.

Just like being in the village.They're here to be the "villains."They say things that are hard for others to say, and they do things that are hard for others to do or dare not do.

They come to be the bottom line and parasols of the people, which is one of the values ​​they can bring to the people in this last days.

Those in military uniform put down the words, and they didn't have to deal with the officials.

Those who can come out of this world are few who do serious business.But as long as nothing too serious and unreasonable has been done, the officials don't have so much energy to deal with it.

But if it's too much, it's just a matter of moving a finger if the higher-ups want to clean it up.

Mustache's face darkened, he took a last look at the crowd, and turned back to the car.

That's all for today.

When the people left, everyone dispersed and went back to the house one after another.

Zhu Yan returned to his bunk, and everyone around him began to undress and go to sleep.

When going out to work, no one really takes off their shirts.Basically, they took off their coats, put on pants and socks and got into bed.

Life in the post-apocalyptic world is not easy. There is no running water, and we rely on snow in winter and well water in summer.It is not suitable for bathing in winter, and there is no water for bathing in summer.

As soon as the shoes were taken off, the room was filled with the smell of stinky feet, which made people's brains ache.

Zhu Yan understood why Xiang Luo gave him a nasal passage.

After entering the bed, he covered his mouth and nose with the quilt, and let them chat and talk about the sound just now, but Zhu Yan focused on thinking about his own affairs, so naturally his left ear was listening to the right ear.

That person is the child of Zhu Yan's third aunt's brother's family.

In fact, Xiang Luo didn't see him many times.I just heard that he did some business here and made hundreds of thousands.

In a small place here, it is not bad to have such achievements at a young age.

Judging by the number of people under him, it seems that life after the end of the world is not bad.It's just that he and this brick factory really belong to his aunt's house as he said?

But his biological aunt is only the third aunt Zhu Yan.

Either it was an excuse to occupy the place, or it belonged to a distant relative.

No matter what, Xiang Luo came to the small village in the next city. He really didn't expect to meet them so soon.

It's just that right now, it's not time to have direct contact with them.

The current development is far from what Zhu Yan expected!

Ever since he knew the end of the world was coming, Zhu Yan had made quite a big plan.

A bold and long-term plan.

Zhu Yan has enough patience to take his time.

Of course, if he really had to face it head-on, he never worried about anything.

At night, I remembered the sound of snoring one after another.

In fact, those who snore may not really fall asleep. If there is a trouble, they can get up immediately.It's just that the airway of a snoring person will be oppressed when he lies down, and he will snore as soon as his breathing relaxes.

Now I don't know what happened to Xiang Luo.

Maybe I haven't slept yet.

Zhu Yan understood Xiang Luo too well.

At this time, Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan had been separated for the sixth day, and he wanted to bite his pillow and cry.

This little heartless bastard, when he comes back he must be fucked to death!

The bricks at that end can be put into the kiln in two days, and the result is not yet known.

If it succeeds, they will go up the mountain to cut trees, transport the wood to the brick kiln and burn it into coal, and then use the coal to burn bricks.

There is no coal in the brick kiln, and last year was bitterly cold. The coal here has long been cleaned up by nearby residents or the official team looking for supplies.The coal provided by the government is far from enough, so I have to burn it myself.

Fortunately, burning charcoal is not a difficult task, even if you mess around, you are not afraid of anything.

At most it's a waste of wood.

In the village, the wall has already begun to be built.

Xiang Luo and An Wei were divided into two shifts during the day, alternately going to the edge of the village to build walls.In order to prevent the wall from collapsing easily, the wall must be at least one meter thick to give everyone a sense of security.This requires more bricks.

There are many bricklayers in the village.And what is needed right now is speed, and there is no need to build it neatly, as long as it can surround the outside.So two days of kung fu red bricks and stones are used up.

Now all we have to do is wait for the bricks to come out of the kiln.

However, the village was not idle during this time, and they continued to dig traps outside the village in batches when they had time.

This trap is really useful!Zombie animals running from all directions basically fell into the trap.The surrounding area of ​​the trap is specially compacted. If the mouse is not impaled to death by the wooden thorns under the trap, it may escape. Other zombie animals such as rabbits may have been found directly on the top with a rough spear before they have time to dig a hole. .

There will be harvest like hills every day.

But none of these are edible.

No one knows how long these traps last, but for a day, the village will not encounter other harassment besides rats.

People have become accustomed to wearing boots for planting paddy fields, stuffing the boots with things to ensure that the mice will not bite the meat when they bite.

As long as you don't get bitten, you are not afraid of zombies.

In this way, people began to approach Xiang Luo again, asking when their family would continue to sell mushroom bags.

Only when mushrooms can be grown can there be hope to continue.

The whole village worked together so that they could continue to grow mushrooms after everything was over.

Xiang Luo didn't know when he could continue.

On the third day when Zhu Yan went to the brick kiln, the bricks were sent into the kiln one by one.When the coal ignited, everyone's heart was raised.

There have been more and more zombie animals recently, and many of them are raised by people like zombie cats, dogs, chickens and ducks.They may have been artificially abandoned in the wild and turned into zombies, or they may have been raised in a relatively hidden way, and were left behind or escaped when the army inspected them.

No one knows how they escaped a cold winter and formed the beast tide.

Maybe like that zombie old lady who froze after death and then warmed up again.

It was only after two months of warming up that it broke out on a large scale, which made people feel a little confused.

However, with the rampage of zombie animals, human zombies began to explode uncontrollably on a large scale!

When zombies appeared in the "prey" in the traps around the village, everyone knew that the situation had changed.

Because before this, the zombies in each village were dealt with individually, and the army naturally wiped them out quickly in the city.

Even at the peak of last year, only a few zombies would wander out.

Since the first zombie fell into the trap, two or three zombies fell into the trap every day.

Some were stabbed to death by wooden thorns, and some tried to climb up with their broken bodies.

Xiang Luo found two two-meter-long steel bars, smashed out the hook with a hammer, and cut off one point of the hook with a cutting tool and sharpened it.

Then wrap the other end of the steel bar with a thick layer of non-slip tape and hand it over to the People's Liberation Army.

The zombies in the trap use these two tools.After confirming that the broken brain is dead, two hooks are inserted into the shoulders and dragged upwards.

In this way, it can be dragged all the way to the buried point.

There is no fuel to burn them, and now they can only be chopped up and buried deep after making sure they will not move again.

With these two tools, not only dealing with zombies, but also zombie animals have become more handy.

And just when Xiang Luo was worried that Zhu Yan would have trouble sleeping and eating, the first batch of bricks finally came out!

Holding two bricks that were still warm, they touched each other, and heard a crisp "bang"!The eye circles of all the people working in the brick kiln were red.

This is their greatest sense of security!Finally made it!

Because the temperature and conditions of each portion are slightly different, the quality of the products is also different.Most of them are dark red, and the same brick red as in the past is still rare.

Even so, it is enough.

Xiang Luo's head, which was filled with broken old bricks, had the lowest rate of cracks, and it was relatively redder.

So, simply use Xiang Luo's method.

Zhu Yan and his team just worked for five full days, sitting on a tractor full of heads one by one, and returned to the village with great scenery.

Zhu Yan deliberately brought home a brick made by Xiang Luo as a souvenir.The newly brought bricks were directly sprinkled with water and used.

There is not much cement in the village, and the precious cement is only used in the construction of foundations.For the top cover, only ordinary soil can be used.

Fortunately, the black soil itself is relatively viscous, and it is barely usable when mixed with straw to increase the viscosity to build walls.

Xiang Luo didn't follow along to build the wall, but took the luggage bag from Zhu Yan's hand, seeing that Zhu Yan was wearing a dirty and smelly jacket, his eyes were red.

Seeing his smug face and obviously rough fingers, Xiang Luo held back his sadness and took him back.

Along the way, Xiang Luo didn't speak, and didn't even look back.

Zhu Yan was very knowledgeable and didn't say anything, but obediently followed behind Xiang Luo.

After entering the house, Xiang Luo put the backpack on the ground and picked up everything inside.Zhu Yan's underwear was changed, and they were crumpled into eggs and thrown into a plastic bag.Xiang Luo took it out to take a look, but couldn't figure out how he changed it.

Look at something else.

Xiang Luohuo came up when he saw a few canned food lying on the floor.

"I brought you something, why don't you know how to eat it?"

Zhu Yan glanced at him: "Do you think it's appropriate to eat there?"

"Why is it inappropriate? You are not from here, you can still ask for them if you eat them?" Xiang Luo has worked there, so he naturally knows how the food is there.Besides, all the work over there is heavy physical work, how can you survive without eating two more bites of meat?

"Not in the mood." Zhu Yan wanted to sit down, but seeing that his clothes were dirty, he simply took them off and looked through the clothes in the closet.

"Who has wronged you?"

"En." Zhu Yan responded.

Xiang Luo was startled, and immediately asked, "Who?"

Zhu Yan changed his words: "I said I was hungry."

Xiang Luo still wanted to ask, but seeing that Zhu Yan had lost a lot of weight in five days, he got up and went to cook.

In fact, the meal is already ready.I cooked four dishes, not much, but more meaty, which was considered a welcome for Zhu Yan.Make up for it.

Seeing that Zhu Yan was like a poor guy, Xiang Luo felt that four dishes were not enough, so he had to add two more.

Zhu Yan took off his clothes and didn't rush to put them on, but went to the bathroom to wipe them off first.

Xiang Luo stayed in front of the earthen stove, watched Zhu Yan wipe it clean, and came out wearing only a pair of underwear.He looked up and down, and curled his lips.

Wear extra underwear.

Putting the food on the tea table, Zhu Yan was naked and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat.

They have been together for half a year, and this is the first time Xiang Luo sees him sitting on the sofa eating eagerly.

If it weren't for the severe distress, I would have to run a few more words.

After Zhu Yan ate half a bowl of rice, his movements slowed down, and he said, "I saw people from my hometown."

Xiang Luo's heart was shocked, this is the root cause of Xiang Luo's weirdness today.

"Why come back here?"

"They were originally from this side. They came to the door suddenly and said that the brick kiln belonged to his aunt's house. They wanted to drive us away. But they left when they saw the People's Liberation Army." Zhu Yan said.

Xiang Luo thought about it: "Then what do you think?"

Zhu Yan glanced at Xiang Luo, and licked off the soup from the corner of his lips with his tongue: "What do you think?"

Xiang Luo's thoughts were sent farther and farther along with this matter, but Zhu Yan laughed out loud: "Do you think I'm such an impulsive person?"

"At least you won't let them go. If you think about them, it must be because they did evil." Xiang Luo said.

"Then what if I really want to make trouble for no reason and want to harm people?" Zhu Yan said.

"Then you are right." Xiang Luo fiddled with the food in the bowl, "I understand you."

Zhu Yan sneered: "Quite confident."

But Xiang Luo smiled and said, "I'm not the king of a country, let alone a leader. Even if I'm stupid, I'm the only one who will be harmed. I'm just a daughter-in-law like you. Let's just do whatever we want."

Taking a step back, Xiang Luo is ready to share the consequences with Zhu Yan even if Zhu Yan does evil.

Compared with being separated or dying, dying together is actually not a bad thing.

Zhu Yan was thoughtful, and finally told the truth: "I just think it stinks over there, and I don't have an appetite."

The corners of Xiang Luo's lips froze: "You've lost weight."

"Just lose weight." Zhu Yan said indifferently.

Xiang Luo gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you know how to treat yourself better?"

Zhu Yan glanced at him, and smiled more wantonly: "Anyway, someone feels distressed."

Because someone loves and cares, it seems to make him feel more at ease when he treats himself badly.

People are supposed to be selfish, the ghost knows what Zhu Yan's brain circuit is.

"Fuck you." Xiang Luo commented, and still picked up a piece of fried beef jerky and fed it to Zhu Yan's mouth, "Let's go together next time, I'll supervise you to eat anyway."

Zhu Yan ate the meat and continued to eat heartlessly.

Although Zhu Yan's behavior was a bit strange this time, he was still the Zhu Yan he was familiar with.
