Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Xia Lunong and everyone in the base went out to build a protective belt, and by the way, cleared the dangerous creatures near the base.

On such days, adults and children at the base go out together, and there are people all over the mountains and plains.

On the first day of the construction of the protective belt, some violent mutant animals and plants came out to attack people. As a result, Xia Lunong was chased and chased by the young people in their base. After being chased, one of them was brought back to the base for lunch .

From the second day on, no mutated animals or plants came to their side.

The young people at the base deliberately went to the side while they were resting, trying to catch some prey, but they didn't find any.

Xia Lunong leaned against the stump to rest, and heard the young people at the base raise their voices, "Hey, what a pity, yesterday's rabbits were so delicious, I want to catch two more today."

"It's okay without a rabbit, and it's not a loss for a muntjac."

"Snakes are fine too. Now snakes are fat too. Catch them and make snake meat soup!"

Xia Lunong listened and laughed muffledly.

Xia Huoqu heard this, and asked, "What are you laughing at? Why don't you two fit in at all, and don't hang out with young people?"

Xia Lunong smiled and lowered her voice, "Those guys are just talking to girls, Kong Zhi and I have internalized it, how strange it is to join in the fun?"

Xia Huo's channel: "Some of them are not for chasing girls."

"It's not that those who are chasing girls are resting." Xia Lunong said, "How tiring is the work, if you don't take the time to rest, how much effort will you yell?"

Liao Cheng was working near them, upon hearing this he said with a smile: "Huo Qu, don't let the two of them get close together, if they go over, how much will the group of young people be hit?"

Xia Lunong said: "The main reason is that it is not suitable, the species is not suitable."

Xia Huoqu looked at his brother, "Why are species involved?"

Liao Cheng immediately answered: "I know that, single dogs and little mandarin ducks with a partner."

Xia Lunong gave Liao Cheng a thumbs up.

They rested for a while and got up to work again.

As an adult man, Xia Lunong, like most adult men in the base, was doing the hardest and most tiring part of the work.

He is now in much better health than in spring, even if he cuts wood and picks up soil, he can keep up with others, and he doesn't need special care.

However, whether he can do this job, he will still be tired.

After a busy day, after work was over at night, he felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, and he didn't even want to drink water, let alone eat, he had no appetite at all.

At this time, Kong Zhi and Xia Huoqu took turns in charge.

People are too tired, and they don't pursue any delicious food, they just make hot and sour dishes, the most appetizing dishes.

Xia Lunong was not even interested in hot and sour dishes, and even drank porridge with meat for five days to support the entire public service.

He lost a few pounds in the process, and he looked tall and thin. Good-looking is good-looking, but he is so thin that people around him feel distressed.

Xia Huoqu said to him, "If you are asked to do technical work and you refuse to do it, no one will know except us if you have persisted for so long."

"That's not necessarily the case. Many people see it in their eyes and take it to heart, but they just don't say it." Xia Lunong said, "Besides, this kind of work itself is very tiring. You are also tired, but I don't respond. It's just big."

Xia Huo's channel: "I'm not so tired that I don't even want to take a shower, and I need someone to do it for me."

"Ah?" Xia Lunong raised her head abruptly, almost choking on her own saliva, and said guiltily, "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"I heard it last night when I went out to the yard to get a rag." Xia Huoqu said indifferently, "You just remember to draw the curtains and leave the windows open, so the sound can come through."

Xia Lunong covered her face with her hands, her ears turned red, "Brother, why did you tell me such an embarrassing thing?"

Xia Huo channel: "Let you have a long memory."

Xia Huoqu really had a long memory, and for the next few days he restrained himself and didn't make any fuss.

This feeling is not as refreshing as before, but more exciting.

Kong Zhi didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, he should be satisfied.

Time flies to the beginning of November, and the weather is getting colder. When they wake up every morning, they can see a thick layer of hoarfrost on the ground.

During the period, they went to see the sheep several times, and the sheep stayed well in the valley.

As long as the sheep don't escape, they have nothing to worry about.

There is only one of their bases nearby, and the people in the base are familiar with each other.

The people at the base knew that they kept the sheep in the valley, and no one would think otherwise—it's not that everyone's moral standards are high, but that everyone can't bear the risk of being kicked out of the base because of theft.

The more sheep you raise, the more money you will have.

Xia Lunong's body was still a little weak, and when it was cold, it was difficult to warm up his hands and feet.

For this reason, their family ate mutton for eight out of ten days during this period, trying to make him make up for the shortfall.

Xia Lunong didn't know if the mutton could make up for the deficit, but he only knew that the mutton was indeed a good thing. The two of them became irritable after eating it, and they increased their exercise at night, feeling that their kidneys were almost exhausted.

Xia Lunong made up her mind to endure for a while no matter what, and take good care of her kidneys.

He had just made a decision in secret when Yan Xiannian said at the dinner table: "There is nothing to do in the base now, we have also made arrangements for the fields, cattle and sheep, and we are going to go to Heijin in the next few days."

Xia Lunong almost forgot about it, subconsciously asked, "So soon?"

Yan Xi Nian said: "Where is it soon? I have been preparing for so many days. Besides, it is getting colder every day. It may snow at any time. At that time, the road will be difficult to walk. We have to hurry up before it snows." Let’s go, and we’d better get back before it snows.”

Xia Lunong thought about it too, "Then what shall we bring this time?"

"The black gold base is relatively far away. We are mainly going to have a look this time. Don't bring too many things, which will consume more fuel." Yan Xinian said, "I asked the property management committee to deliver dried meat, and then brought The research results of Dianbailou will be treated as public goods."

Xia Lunong asked: "Then do we need to bring some supplies for our own consumption?"

"Yes, I told your brother before that we can bring some dried snake meat, honey, bamboo, and some wheat seeds you saved. These should be able to exchange for a lot of things. You two will see what you want to bring You can bring anything you want, as long as the size and weight are not too big."

During that time, Xia Lunong used her abilities several times, spawned several bamboo trees, and harvested more than 60 catties of bamboo fruit.

If you take it all out, it can almost be used as currency.

Xia Lunong nodded, "Then let's think about it again, who will go out this time?"

"I don't really want to bring anyone with me this time. It's just the four of us. If something happens, it's easy to abandon the car and come back." Yan Xi Nian said, "The main thing is to go out to gain insights, and there is no need for everyone to go together. Exchange supplies If not, it’s not worth it to go that far.”

Xia Lunong thought that only the four of them were going out this time, and said sincerely: "That's great, I don't really want to go out with everyone."

Yan Xinian smiled, "Then the four of us will drive two trucks out and bring some extra fuel for the road."

"Okay!" Xia Lunong said, "Then I'll think about it tonight and make a plan."

The black gold base is too far away, and there was another big earthquake this year, so I don’t know how the road is going, whether they should take a detour, this trip is almost considered a long trip, and they have to do a good job for a month or two before returning Prepare.

Therefore, they prepare with extra care.

Xia Lunong specially made a table to clearly write down the things to be prepared in various aspects such as food, medicine and combat weapons.

With this list of forms, he felt that what they wanted to bring was not enough.

They might consume a little of the one hundred catties of supplies on the way, but it's actually not that much.

Kong Zhi looked at his form and said, "The supplies are easy to deal with. We haven't cut honey for a while, so we can go and cut some honey back."

"That's no problem. We can take Xiahuajiao out with us. With it, there is almost no danger."

"Go to bed early, talk to brother and others tomorrow, and leave early."

Xia Lunong simply put down the pen and paper, and got into the bed.

Kong Zhi was at the side to warm the quilt, and as soon as Xia Lunong entered, her hands and feet felt warm.

He turned around, reached in to touch Kong Zhi's abdominal muscles, nestled in his arms, and fell asleep comfortably.

The two went to bed early and woke up early.

Xia Lunong woke up without even brushing her teeth, and went to discuss with Xia Huajiao about going out to cut honey today.

Xia Huajiao had been holding back in the base for so long, and wanted to go out a long time ago. When he heard that he could go out to cut honey, the leaves trembled and the sound of "swoosh" was endless.

Xia Lunong said happily: "Then it's settled, you take a rest first, we will set off together after breakfast, and we need to borrow a truck later, we will drive there."

Xia Huajiao: "Hoo!"

After Xia Huoqu heard about their plan, he had no objection, but told him: "Come back early, don't be greedy, and save some honey for the bees to spend the winter."

"Understood, let's try to come back before sunset in the afternoon." Xia Lunong said, "Let's take a few more barrels out, and we'll deal with the honey when we come back."

The process of borrowing the truck went smoothly. After eating, they filled up the gas and drove the truck out.

It's cold outside now, but the sun is shining. Xia Lunong sat in the passenger seat, humming a song all the way, and sometimes beat the beat to accompany herself.

Kong Zhi kept smiling at the corner of his mouth.

When he was singing, Kong Zhi asked, "How did you study opera and didn't apply for an acting major?"

Xia Lunong said: "Before the college entrance examination, I never thought about taking the path of art. I didn't prepare in advance. Besides, my personality is not suitable."

Kong Zhi took the time to look at him, "Indeed."

Xia Lunong looked at his profile and warned, "Don't call me stupid in disguise, I can tell."

Kong Zhi said: "I didn't say it, don't get into that stupid word yourself."

Xia Lunong clicked his tongue, "Were you really bickering before?"

"No, I seldom bicker. I used to feel that my roommates were naive and I was withdrawn."

Xia Lunong was curious, "That's aloof. You always think that your peers are childish?"

Kong Zhi paused, "You were young and frivolous, now you regret it. There is nothing childish or not, everyone has their own way of life."

The two drove forward all the way.

Their trucks were neither too fast nor too slow.

They arrived at their destination around eight o'clock in the morning.

Before they got close to the valley, they saw a lot of bees coming in and out. Those huge bees were buzzing in the air, which made people's scalp tingle.

Xia Lunong glanced out, "I still have to trouble Xia Huajiao today, the two of us just stay in the car and don't get stung."

"Go to Chehoudou and talk to Xia Huajiao first."

Xia Huajiao still remembered the scene of picking honey last time, so she understood it very quickly and agreed.

Its branches are now more flexible than before, and they were a little clumsy before, and now it is no problem to cut the hive with a knife.

Xia Lunong urged ten thousand times, "Your safety is the most important thing. If you are seriously attacked and feel threatened, you should come back quickly."

Xia Huajiao: "Hoo!"

Xia Huajiao quickly carried a bucket and a knife to the hive.

Xia Lunong watched from the cab, and sighed sincerely, "My family has a young child growing up."

Kong Zhi said: "According to this, when it was still a child, we had already sent child labor to work."

"Then maybe, when it was still a seed, I don't know how many years it lasted in the seed state, maybe it is older than us."

Kong Zhi: "Should I call him Brother?"

Xia Lu smiled thickly, "Let's forget about this, but you don't have to be so conscious."

The two were bickering, Xia Huajiao had already cut half of the first hive.

The bees were instantly irritated and flew around it, stinging its leaves from time to time.

This had little effect on Xiahuajiao, and it hopped and ran under the second hive.

When the second hive was provoked, the first hive retreated a little.

Then came the third litter, and the fourth litter.

Xia Huajiao spent half the morning and half the afternoon cutting half of all the hives in the valley, and finally got three and a half barrels of hives.

After Xia Huajiao got into the car, they stepped on the gas pedal and hurried away.

When they returned to the base, they found some remaining bees in the back bucket.

However, the number of these bees is relatively small, and they are no longer harmful.

Xia Lunong hugged Xia Huajiao and said sincerely: "You have done a great job today!"

Xia Huajiao: "Hoo!"

Xia Lunong touched its branches with a smile, and said, "Go back to the soil and rest for a while, I'll give you the power."

The leaves and branches of Xiahuajiao suffered some damage, and under the action of Xia Lunong's easy energy, they quickly recovered.

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi took the hive back to the kitchen to deal with it.

There were still some bee pupae and some bees in the hive. Xia Lunong's hand was stung twice, and it swelled into a pig's trotter.

So Kong Zhi didn't even have time to eat dinner, so Kong Zhi dragged him to Dr. Ou's place to see him. After being treated by Dr. Ou, they came back and ate bee pupae.

Xia Lunong's hands were not so swollen, and he could barely hold the chopsticks. He stuffed bee pupae into his mouth, one bite at a time.

The bee chrysalis was deep-fried and crispy, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and it was perfect for rice.

Xia Lunong loves this stuff so much, she sighed while eating, "Sure enough, the more dangerous the food, the better it is."

Xia Huo's channel: "Don't stare at it if it's delicious, eat more vegetables, so as not to get angry later."

Xia Huoqu said and picked a piece of green vegetables for him.

Xia Lu stuffed green vegetables into her mouth depressedly, her face collapsed.

Yan Xiannian stared at his expression and couldn't help but smile.

Xia Lunong said: "Brother ate less vegetables than me in the past."

Yan Xiannian immediately picked vegetables for himself, and said in his mouth: "How come you have learned how to make troubles come to others. Whose problem are you talking about now? It's none of my business whether I eat vegetables or not."

Xia Lunong smiled at him, showing her small white teeth.

After eating, several people took a bath and rested.

Xia Lunong finished eating a meal of bee pupae, and when he went to bed, his hands and feet were still warm. He lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling and said, "Honey should be enough, a hundred catties is just right, and it's not too rare to bring more. Tomorrow I'll get some more bamboo."

Kong Zhi asked: "Where is the bamboo planted, in our backyard?"

"Let's say goodbye. Bamboo has such a well-developed root system. If it is planted in the backyard, how troublesome it will be to clean up? Let's take it out and plant it outside."

"Is the land outside not fertile enough?"

"That's right." Xia Lunong thought for a while, "Or planted in the wheat field? It just so happens that we are going to plow the wheat field and chop off the bamboo roots for firewood."

"That's a good plan. I'll go to the cafeteria tomorrow morning to change some fertilizer."

"Change a little more, anyway, we will grow crops in the wheat field next year, and the remaining fertilizer is just the base fertilizer."

The two chatted for a long time.

Xia Lunong almost fell asleep while chatting, but suddenly turned over and sat up again.

Kong Zhi took advantage of the moonlight shining through the window and asked, "What's the matter, shall I turn on the light for you?"

"It's okay, I just want to see if our windows are closed properly, will people outside hear us when we chat?" Xia Lunong checked the windows and waved her hands, "I went to the toilet and came back to sleep. "

The corner of Kong Zhi's mouth twitched, telling him to go quickly.

Both woke up early the next day.

After breakfast, they took fertilizer and seeds and set off for the wheat fields.

Now that the weather is cold, there are not many people working in the fields, and everyone is more likely to go out in groups to collect supplies or hunt.

Everyone is hoarding supplies as much as possible to prepare for the winter, so during this period of time, there are good things to exchange in the cafeteria of the base every day.

Xia Lunong and the others have been eating different animal meat, fish and even seafood for several days in a row, and they are very satisfied.

There is no danger in the wheat fields.

Kong Zhi asked him to give birth to bamboo, while he plowed the ground aside.

Xia Lunong has been giving birth to bamboo a lot during this time, and she is already very familiar with this job. When giving birth to bamboo, she just needs to put all her abilities into the seeds with all her strength, and then make them stronger.

Maybe it's because Xia Lunong is too proficient in this job, and Xia Lunong didn't concentrate on it when she was doing this job, but unconsciously wandered off for a while.

As a result, the bamboo produced by the ability was far beyond his expectations.

The two bamboos in front of him were about the same height as him. The bamboos were roughly as thick as a bowl, with sparse leaves, which looked like they were malnourished.

After the bamboo grows to such a large size, it quickly loses its leaves, then withers and turns yellow, and dies directly.

The bamboo didn't produce bamboo rice, nor did it grow bamboo shoots. It looked as if the planting had failed.

Xia Lunong was stunned, never expecting such a result.

He looked at the bamboo in front of him, then at his hand, and murmured, "My abilities should be fine."

As he said that, he turned his head abruptly and called Kong Zhi, "Kong Zhi, come and help me to see! My ability seems to be invalid!"

Kong Zhi came over, "It's just a failure, at worst, let's take a day off and try again the day after tomorrow."

"The problem is that I don't know where I failed. This result should not be possible. Isn't our ability very stable?" Xia Lunong stretched out his hand to break the bamboo, feeling weak in his hands and feet, "What's going on?"

Kong Zhi turned his shoulders, turned him around, looked at himself, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, cut it off and take a look, we will know, we will analyze it slowly when we go back."

"Okay." Xia Lunong looked at the low bamboo in front of him, still feeling very shocked.

If he hadn't run out of abilities, he really couldn't use them again, and he wanted to do it again to see what happened.

He returned home in a daze. When his brother saw him like this, he immediately became nervous and asked him, "What's the matter? You didn't go well this afternoon. Why did you come home with such an expression?"

Xia Lunong said: "Brother, there may be something wrong with my ability. The bamboo planted this afternoon has nothing, just like ordinary bamboo."

"No! It's worse than ordinary bamboo. Ordinary bamboo at least grows tall and strong. The bamboo I planted is short and looks very thin."

Xia Lunong simply doubted life, "Obviously I had no problem when I used my ability yesterday, but I don't know what happened today?"

Xia Lunong's shock was too great, and she felt that what she said was thrown upside down.

He spoke for a long time, then closed his mouth in despair, as if he wanted to shut himself up in the room.

Xia Huoqu breathed a sigh of relief, and said to him: "When people are still sick, how can the supernatural power not go wrong? As long as people are fine, we can try again tomorrow, don't worry too much."

Xia Lunong pursed his lips and said nothing, he was worried now, what would he do if the ability didn't come back tomorrow?

His animal shape is just a cat, worse than the big rooster in the base. The big rooster's ability can at least hunt for treasures. If he doesn't have the ability, he will have nothing. If he goes out with him, he will be a hindrance in the team.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Kong Zhi patted his back and said: "Eat early, go to bed early, let's find a way together tomorrow, if it really doesn't work, we can exercise our skills."

"The main reason is that the ability comes too strangely, and I don't know when it will be invalid. I feel that this thing is not scientific at all, and there is no way to study and treat it." Xia Lunong said, "I still can't figure it out, why does it happen? Failed?"

Xia Lunong babbled a lot. He didn't fall asleep at all that night. When he got up the next day, he had two big dark circles under his eyes, and he was sluggish.

He didn't rest well, and felt that the power in his body was empty, and he couldn't use it for anything.

He experimented with the plants and trees in the yard, and felt numb all over. He floated back like a wandering spirit, hugged Kong Zhi's waist, buried his face in the hollow of his shoulder and said, "It's over, it seems that my ability really doesn't work. I can't use anything today."

When Xia Lunong spoke, her eye sockets were already wet, and she buried herself firmly in Kong Zhi's shoulders, unwilling to raise her head.

Kong Zhi kissed him, and his tone was very gentle, "Then try again tomorrow."

"I don't think there is anything I can do the day after tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow." Xia Lunong said dejectedly, "I said before that I would go out with you guys. Looking at the situation, what can I do when I go out? Is it a hindrance?"

Kong Zhi said: "Don't think so much, the result hasn't come out yet, let's talk about it after the result comes out, let's go and look at the bamboo that was cut back yesterday, maybe there is something else in the bamboo?"

"This bamboo is already like this, what else can there be, I guess there is nothing left, so that's it, forget it." Xia Lu said in a thick voice, "I don't want to see it anymore, I want to go to you."
