food crisis [end times]

Xiao Yiming looked out the window and sighed, "Obviously, I was worrying for nothing. The village is much, much better than I thought."

Xiang Luo asked: "Then you will be stationed in the village later? What if I send you to another place?"

Xiao Yiming looked at the military uniform on his body: "I have been on the battlefield, there is no place I can't go."

After experiencing life and death, I have gained more insights. In fact, there are too many pursuits in this world that are far higher than life.

Xiang Luo smiled knowingly.

After Xiao Yiming came back, he immediately became the core of the villagers.

In the next few days, Xiao Yiming could not avoid being interrogated over and over again about his return to the army, which was extremely detailed.

Xiao Yiming's parents are still alive, but several relatives have died.Because he went to serve in the army, he didn't see him for the last time before he died.

Friends and relatives I have known from the past naturally want to get together, but that is also when I am on duty.The days of continuous rotation made him work harder than performing the task.

But because of his tight mouth, he won't say a single word that shouldn't be said.As time goes by, everyone's curiosity is not so strong.

In contrast, Xiang Luo's ducks are more attractive.

Many people came to see the duck, but Xiang Luo refused because he was afraid that the duck would not be able to lay eggs. Only a few soldiers and the village head Zhou Zhenhua were allowed to see it.

With their determination, others will not think too much about it.

With the help of a platoon of soldiers and a squad, the villagers continued to burn bricks with more enthusiasm, and the fence continued to get higher and higher, but fewer and fewer zombies were seen in the trap.

The soldiers threw up a large number of sub-bow orders without any money, harvested a large number of zombies, and dealt with them centrally.

There is no way to clean up all the zombie animals for the time being, but the absence of human zombies can at least reduce the fear and pressure in people's hearts.

The active prevention and control of Shili Village directly alarmed the province. Within a few days, several military trucks came to Shili Village, bringing relief supplies and encouragement from the county, city and province.

Several trucks arrived separately, and each household still had dozens of catties of grain and several canned meats.

Every household is like celebrating the New Year, and it is rare for the whole people to be beaming.

It's just that the current problem hasn't been solved yet. Listening to the words of the soldiers who came to deliver supplies, maybe the leader will come over to check the situation here in the future.

But no matter what, in view of the excellent performance of the village in this crisis, the future benefits will definitely be indispensable.

Even in the past, if the leader had the honor of personally inspecting it, it would mean that the whole village would benefit.

After the end of the world, it is a matter of life and death!

This is simply a gift from God!

Although this catastrophe took away countless lives, it must be admitted that for Shili Village, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

It makes the whole village more cohesive, and it also makes people have more hope in their hearts.

With the relief supplies of sympathy, Xiang Luo's reputation in the village has also risen to a higher level.

Mushrooms, fungus, and future ducks.

Almost every step of the positive development of the village has traces of Xiang Luo.

Xiang Luo's own selflessness is one aspect, and every decision he makes seems to be just right at the key points in the development of the village.

Even if he is too lucky, his selflessness and judgment of everyone is enough to be admired.

Therefore, Xiang Luo has real skills.

If it was two months back, someone in the village might still say that Xiang Luo was just lucky.In fact, Zhou Zhenhua also has such a fate, but Zhou Zhenhua can't be a human being, and Xiang Luo has a master behind him.Both Zhu Yan and An Wei are big bosses in the city, and they know how to win people's hearts, so they give Xiang Luo advice.

It's just that after two months of building walls to fight against zombies, Xiang Luo was able to take out ducks and use them to cheer everyone up when he was at his lowest point and most desperate.

At this time, even if you don't like Xiang Luo, you must admit that he is good.

In fact, the human heart is like this.When you feel that you are not good, you are hypocritical in everything, and you are good to people and do good things to win people's hearts.

But when you feel that you are good, then what you do is right. If you are good, you will boast, and if you are bad, you will find absolutely sufficient excuses.

This is the same as chasing stars in the past.

Some irrational fans, for the sake of the person they like, black can also be called white, if they don’t have the conditions to make up one now, they have to prove that their idol has done nothing wrong, it is the fault understood by the world, or even the fault of this world wrong.

Therefore, the change of mentality this time is not only the villagers' attitude towards Xiang Luo, but also his prestige among the masses and his status in people's hearts.

Xiang Luo clearly felt the difference in the attitude of the villagers towards him.Just didn't think much about it.Just thought they were looking forward to the duck sale.

In the past half a year or so, Xiang Luo's reputation has changed from being ignorant before to having good luck later on, to being able to be a man and understanding of selflessness, and now it is getting higher and higher.

In this regard, Zhu Yan was much more astute than him. After going out a few times to listen to their chats, Xiang Luo found that his daughter-in-law looked at him differently.

Recently, the pressure has been greatly reduced. The army replaced the villagers and patrolled the village with wooden warehouses, which greatly improved the sense of security.

Every household no longer needs to participate in patrols, and all return home to live their own little days.

Once the life is stable in this way, the life of the residents should be recovered.

The wall is already more than two meters high, and the remaining charcoal from the brick kiln is distributed among the villagers equally.These are the fates of winter.

The trees on the nearest mountain were cut down and half of the mountain was bald.

There is no green at all on the barren mountain. In fact, there is no difference between more trees and fewer trees.

Right now, they haven't found any plants that grow naturally.

During the night, Xiang Luo finished the livestock in the ground, and the hatched eggs were indeed about to come out.Xiang Luo took an egg incubator and fooled the visitors in the house.He took out a few more ducks to fool them.

Others are easy to fool, but in fact, there is really no way to fool Anwei.But Anwei didn't ask much.

It's just that Xiang Luo feels that it's time to let him know after getting along for such a long time.

Anwei's complete trust in them is actually worth Xiang Luo telling him about his cards.

Just how to say it and when to say it, Xiang Luo needs to discuss it with Zhu Yan.

After making the bed, Zhu Yan slipped into bed.Xiang Luo took two bags of water and put them on the table.

The water is packed in tin-plated sealed bags, because plain boiled water is also easily polluted by mold in the air, and it may be dangerous to leave plain boiled water directly.Therefore, Xiang Luo will pour it into a tin-plated bag when the water temperature is [-] to [-] degrees, seal it, and cut it into small packages of about [-] milliliters.

Usually put it on the bedside, tear open the package and drink it when you are thirsty.

In fact, the number of times to drink water at night is still relatively small, in case of emergency.

Zhu Yan was looking at his phone, wondering what he was thinking.

Xiang Luo poked him, Zhu Yan buckled his phone, why?

Xiang Luo paused for a moment: "You son of a bitch, you have changed, and you are hiding everything from me."

"...Well, flirting with people, you have a book to play, and no book to retreat." Zhu Yan tapped the back of the phone with his fingertips, and Xiang Luo directly stretched his hand to Xiang Luo's armpit and grabbed it hard. Zhu Yan was busy After avoiding the two, they quarreled together.

It was rare for Xiang Luo to say: "You are the only one I can bear, how dare you find someone else?"

Zhu Yan sneered: "You really think highly of yourself."

Xiang Luo hurriedly held Zhu Yan down, and pressed him on the bed with one hand and one foot, and then he brought up the topic: "Are we unable to hide it?"

Zhu Yan didn't speak in a hurry, but just looked at Xiang Luo: "Why do you have an idea to ask me?"

"This secret belongs to the two of us. Of course I want to hear what you mean."

Zhu Yan thought about it, and said: "He is a person worthy of sharing secrets. And you don't need to say it in detail, just mention a few words, and he will have a good idea. Knowing this secret may not be a good thing. Because from the beginning of knowing, It will be spent in tension that may reveal secrets. Although An Wei is very curious, he can also tell which secrets he can bear."

That's why Zhu Yan walked so close to him.It is precisely because he can grasp the scale of advance and retreat very well, which can leave him with just the right sense of distance every time.

With Zhu Yan's words, Xiang Luo felt more at ease.

"Then I know it." Xiang Luo thought about it and said, "Then there is the matter of raising ducks. In fact, I was a little impulsive when I said it."

"It's okay, this itself is within our plan, it's just ahead of time. You should consider whether to take out the other ones. For example, rabbits."

Now that the rabbits have been separated, the breeding speed of God is too fast.If it wasn't for the lack of food for the time being, Xiang Luo would definitely get the rabbits out first. In less than a year, every family in the village would be able to start breeding rabbits.

"Wait a little longer." Xiang Luo was not in a hurry, "Ducks don't know what troubles are there. Then there is the problem of zombies. Recently, we are so tired that we almost forget our last name, but what is going on outside, we just It’s just listening to others.”

The recent crisis in the village has almost caused the emotions of all villagers to collapse.But for the two of them, they hadn't even seen the zombies in the village a few times.Because these strong laborers who work are completely different from those who clean up the corpses in the trap.Usually when they go to build the wall, the corpses in the trap are almost packed.

Occasionally saw two or three zombies falling into the trap, but they did not pose any threat to people.The villagers who saw it at that time even chatted very easily and discussed which foot of the zombie would step into the trap first.

The time spent during this period is just hard, but far from cruel and shocking.

On the contrary, what they heard from Xiao Yiming's mouth gave them more shock.

The situation in this world is far worse than they imagined.

Because the village is united, and it is a textbook-style defense and self-help, it is naive to think that other villages will not be too bad.

However, the one-third casualty rate in most villages still raised the hearts of the two of them.

But let everyone know that the more they develop and the more resources they have, the more they can be protected by the government!

Therefore, if you want absolute security, you only need to develop stronger.

"The zombie problem has been solved, and we don't even need to patrol. With the protection of the army, let's restore the bacteria bag first." Zhu Yan thought about it, and counted the current situation, "The bacteria bag can be achieved. For mass production, the government needs to help solve the problem of raw materials. Mushrooms have already been sold on the official side, and fungus is not difficult. For ducks, ducks lay eggs and ducks. It will take two years to achieve mass breeding in the whole village. Wait until it is finished This will take a long time. But..."

"What?" Xiang Luo raised his eyebrows, wondering what Zhu Yan's little head thought of.

Zhu Yan curled his lips into a smile: "But now that so many people have been killed and injured due to the second outbreak of zombies, the authorities will definitely not sit idly by. They will definitely come up with a more robust protection plan. For example, merge them all into the village, or simply rebuild a village." A place with a higher density of people’s living becomes a place similar to a survival base. This is where we need to plan ahead.”

Having said that, there are too many things that can be thought of later.

Xiang Luo's expression turned serious: "We must not leave."

There are so many preparations in the basement, it is impossible to take them all.And if they went to a place with a high density of population, they couldn't hide so many cards.

You can't just eat bran swallowing vegetables just to avoid suspicion.

So no matter what happens, never leave.

Zhu Yan sneered: "Then if the whole village leaves, you stay alone?"

"Why not?" After Xiang Luo finished speaking, he actually felt that something was wrong.If only his family is left in the whole village, then they are a living target.Unless the whole family moves underground and lives with their tails tucked between their legs, there will be no security.

It's just that it would be too lonely.

Going underground can only be an unavoidable solution due to force majeure.As long as you have a little hope, you should find another way out.

Zhu Yan said: "If I were the leader, if the shelter was built, I would immediately build a large number of greenhouses around the shelter to grow food such as fungus. This Shili Village is a standard demonstration village and can become a place in the shelter. Model, in the name of the honor village, let the villagers enter the demonstration village to take the lead in planting mushrooms, and use our success to boost everyone's morale. Zombies broke out twice, and our personnel losses were minimized. In this world, it is not a miracle , and it is absolutely rare. It is impossible for anyone to let such a good role model live in such a poor village."

Zhu Yan's perspective on things is always so clear.

Xiang Luo was silent for a while: "In other words, if you want to avoid this from happening, then the value of the villagers staying here is higher than the value of leaving here, right?"

In the current apocalypse, it is natural that cost-effectiveness must be considered first in everything.

If the village can bring more benefits after moving into the refuge, it is just a matter of lip service.

But how to maximize the benefits of the villagers staying?

"This is the problem that I can't think of for a while." The real problem is the one that makes Zhu Yan feel a headache.

But there is no rush for this kind of thing.For shelters and the like, small-scale construction is of course no problem, but large-scale construction will take time.

In the past, even if it was a giant building, it would only take a few months, and the infrastructure madman would not be screaming for nothing.It's just that all industries in all aspects are now shut down, and the operation of the state machine is needed to restart production.

This takes time.

A large shelter would take a year or two to build.

This time is enough for Zhu Yan's little head to think about many things.

Xiang Luo couldn't help laughing: "You alone are almost catching up with the entire think tank."

Zhu Yan yawned and joked, "The higher the IQ, the greater the responsibility."

Xiang Luo sneered: "I'm still out of breath after a few compliments."

After all, the movements of his hands became more unscrupulous, and the two got entangled again.

As the movements of the two became more and more proficient, Xiang Luo also firmly believed that he was getting closer and closer to the day when he returned to the top.

On the second day, the three of them collected all the raw materials for making the mushroom bag. They haven't touched it for more than a month, and their hands are almost raw.

Anwei arranged all the raw materials, and complained aloud: "This mushroom bag is also due to the waste water. The lower the groundwater level is, the higher our production cost will be. You said that it will be sold next time." It’s time to increase the price. Now that there is a shortage of water, they should understand that we raise the price. At worst, we will lower it when the water comes.”

The well at home is no longer able to pump water, even with a water pump.Fortunately, there is a large fish pond in the backyard, which is full of water.After the water was filtered and boiled, it was still good, and it was covered with plastic cloth, so it didn't evaporate too much.So there is no shortage of water at home.

But the weather is not good, there has been no rain, and the water is being consumed day by day. If the daily water consumption is good, the water consumption of this fungus bag is relatively large, but it will be a problem.

"The army is back, and the zombies will be basically solved soon. The problem of water is not a big one." Zhu Yan grabbed a handful of rice chaff, feeling the debris in his hand slowly fall.

"It's just that it's hard to say right now." Anwei said stiffly, and heard the ducks in the next room calling.

Originally, the ducks were raised in the Westinghouse just after they were taken out, and An Wei also helped in acting.It's just that the ducks are really noisy.Just send these little guys to the boiler room to raise them.The boiler room is the closest to the bathroom where the fungus bag is made, so I can hear the calls over there.

Anwei listened carefully, but didn't speak again.

Xiang Luo paid attention to the expression on his face and glanced at Zhu Yan.Zhu Yan only nodded slightly.

Xiang Luo said, "Aren't you curious about ducks?"

Anwei blinked and said with a smile, "If I'm really curious, there are only these ducks."

Just don't ask.

From this point of view, Zhu Yan was right.

Xiang Luo pointed to the ground: "Actually, they all come from below."

An Wei was taken aback, blinking but didn't understand.

Xiang Luo said: "The ones in my yard were not killed, they were raised in the ground. They lived well, but they couldn't find an excuse to get them out."

In fact, Anwei thought of this possibility.But when Xiang Luo said it, he still couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Where did you get so much food? Isn't it moldy?"

Xiang Luodao: "When I found out that something was wrong, I stocked up on feed and vacuum-packed it. In the future, if there is any extra stuff in the house, it will be brought up from below."

When Xiang Luo said this, he didn't say to take him down to have a look.

Just that Xiang Luo can tell him such a secret is enough to see Xiang Luo's sincerity.

Anwei is not a greedy person.

"If you don't tell me, I won't ask." An Wei only said.

"I didn't treat you as an outsider," Xiang Luo said directly, "I just let you understand that we have cards. If something force majeure really happens, I can take you to a place that is absolutely safe. But this For the time being, this place is still my personal private place. It is a place that even Zhu Yan seldom goes to. I have my own considerations."
