Survive through the ancient apocalypse

Chapter 44 Mutation Symptoms

When the villagers saw it, needless to say, they naturally followed suit if it was beneficial to them.As farm work became less and less, the team of building walls grew stronger.In addition to building walls, anyone who has leisure will go to the sea to exercise their skills.The resistance of seawater is high, once you adapt to seawater, it will perform better on land.This is similar to the principle of weight bearing.Get used to the difficult ones, and just adapt to the low-difficulty ones, and you will be able to play perfectly.

The temperature is not too high now, and the sea water is cooler.Those with weak physical fitness are not allowed to go into the sea. In case of illness, the gain will not be worth the loss. Now the medicinal materials are not easy to buy.

The villagers are doing their best, and every point of increase in force will make Yejia Village more secure.

The first cousin, Ye Minghai, has been going out to sea with Ye Mingze's family's fishing boat, and every time he goes out to sea with that fishing boat, he gets a tenth of it.Ye Minghai is the third-level sentinel, and Mrs. Sun, the lobby sister-in-law, is the first-level guide.

There are no special circumstances, as long as he is on duty, Ye Minghai will definitely go to sea on time.Sun's is not the case. She has to take care of the family when the family is busy, and only stays with her husband when she is free.This is something that the Ye family members acquiesce to. Level-[-] guides have limited ability to improve the sentry. It doesn't matter if there is more of her, and it doesn't matter much if she is missing.Of course, this is when there are many people. For sentinels alone, there is a big difference whether there is a guide or not, regardless of whether the guide is a first-level or a third-level guide.

Except for the uncle's family, none of the other relatives of the Ye family have a third-level sentinel guide.Ye Mingze didn't let them go to sea, but just sent them some seafood from time to time.It turns out that there are few relatives, so it is not a problem for the Ye family to help out at any time.Now, the Jiang family is here, Aunt Ye Mingze and his family also entered Yejia Village some time ago, plus the family of his grandfather and uncle earlier, Ye Mingze can't help them all the time, self-reliance is really good for them.

Forget it this year, Ye Family Village is busy building walls around the fields, so they don't have much free time.It takes a lot of time for the two relatives of the Ye family to arrange and settle down, so they don't have time to go fishing.Ye Mingze plans to build another fishing boat next year for these four relatives.At that time, two or three people from each family will go out to sea with the Ye family's fishing boat every now and then.Safety is guaranteed, and more gains can be made, and it is not in vain for relatives.

Aunt Ye Shu called all the big family from her in-laws' family, and there were quite a few of them.There are still some vacant houses in Yejia Village, and the good ones have been chosen by the people who came here first.When Ye Shu's family came over, they had to choose one of the broken houses that were left behind. After ten days of repairs, it looked no different from other houses.

Now tiles are not easy to buy, so Ye Shu's family used wooden boards to build the roof, spread a layer of oilcloth on it, and then covered it with thatch, so it was still durable.Those families in Yejia Village who lived in thatched houses had remodeled their houses long after the sentinel guides awakened in large numbers.It used to be time-consuming and laborious to build a house, but now it is much easier to build.

Since humans awakened as sentinel guides, it's hard to say whether they eat or drink, but at least the housing environment is much better than before.

The Jiang family, Ye Zhi and Liu Niangsan knew that it was the critical time for Ye Mingze to advance, so they reduced the second and third level food quotas for the rest of the Ye family, and let Ye Mingze eat as much as possible first.In this way, the effect is remarkable.After ten days or so, Ye Mingze was promoted smoothly.

After being promoted, Ye Mingze was not complacent. He knew that on the surface, the Ye family was the most powerful force in Yangshan County. In fact, their resources per capita were not as much as those big forces.The leader of the power can exploit the people below without mercy, and a large amount of resources are gathered in the hands of a few people. Maybe the overall force is not as good as the Ye family, but the top force is not necessarily.As long as the aptitude is not too bad, a lot of resources can be spent, and a few top players can be produced. What's more, the leader of the faction is likely to be a senior sentinel guide, so the promotion speed is faster.

After being promoted, Ye Mingze went to Yangshan County, and learned from his fifth uncle that some of the larger forces in Yangshan County had been promoted to the fourth-level sentinel guide.

After getting the exact news, Ye Mingze had to temporarily change the way of material distribution, and first focus on supporting two pairs of fourth-level sentinel guides.From dozens of pairs of combined third-level sentinel guides, he picked out the two pairs with the strongest strength, and gave them resources.There is no way, without the deterrence of top-notch force, others think they are easy to bully.

Ye Mingze told everyone in the Ye family the reason for doing so, so that no one would feel dissatisfied.Ye Mingze spent a lot of time talking, but the servants of the Ye family easily accepted it without any dissatisfaction.It's no wonder that there is a gap between modern people and ancient people's way of thinking. As long as Ye Mingze still retains modern memories, he will not be able to fully integrate.From all the signs from before to now, Ye Mingze has already realized this.If he has any ideas in the future, he will discuss them with Jiang Jingzhi or other Ye family members first, and then convey them to the servants of the Ye family, lest he think in the wrong direction.

In the Ye family, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi are at the third level. Of course, Ye Mingze is now the fourth-level sentinel, so the next person to take care of is naturally Jiang Jingzhi.Jiang Jingzhi is not much worse than Ye Mingze, but the speed of his promotion has slowed down a little due to the recent concentration of resources to supply Ye Mingze.After the resources caught up, Jiang Jingzhi was quickly promoted to a fourth-level guide.

It stands to reason that it is easier to advance from the second level to the third level than from the third level to the fourth level. The problem is that the second-level sentinel guides wake up more than two months later than the third-level ones, and the resources obtained by the third-level sentinel guides are more expensive than the second-level ones. Many, but the third level is promoted first.

The resource supply of the Ye family is relatively uniform, which makes them lack top-notch force, but there is also an advantage, that is, once someone starts to advance, then the sentinel guides of the same level will break through as a whole, and the time between them will not be too long.Either no one has been promoted for a long time, and once promoted, a large number of people will come one by one.

Among the servants of the Ye family, the first-level sentinel guides broke through one after another when Ye Mingze was on his way to pick up his father-in-law. Up to now, only half of them have not broken through.

The Ye family's own family must have received more resources than the subordinates, and the first-level sentinel guide was promoted earlier.Now the family's second-level sentinel guides also show signs of breaking through, and it won't be long before it's the turn of the Ye family's servants.

Recently, Ye Mingze discovered that the rate of plant death is gradually decreasing.Considering that many humans have been promoted to the fourth level, and the living environment of plants is even worse, they should be promoted earlier.According to the situation, the plants have gradually adapted to the current sunlight, and I don't know how they are different from the past.

There are a few trees planted in each yard of the Ye family, most of them are fruit trees, they have not been planted for a long time, and they are not tall.After most of them died in the sun, only one or two survived in each yard.In the Ye family's main house, a persimmon tree and a chestnut tree lived.Ye Mingze stared at them for a long time, and poured half a bucket of water on each tree after watching them.

"What did you see?" Jiang Jingzhi was also idle at the moment, so he stood by the side, watching Ye Mingze look at this tree and that tree from time to time, curious what he was doing.

"Do you feel that instead of continuing to decline, these two trees are gradually recovering their vitality?"

"Is there? I didn't notice. It looks the same as a few days ago." The first tree in the yard, the others are dead, only these two half-dead trees are left standing.

"Yes, yes. I have been observing for several days, and I finally found something today." Ye Mingze pointed to one of the sprouts the size of a grain of rice, "Look, it's not surprising that sprouts have grown in this season. ?”

Thanks to Ye Mingze's careful inspection of such a small bud, if it was someone else, I'm afraid it would have been skipped.Jiang Jingzhi listened, stepped forward to take a look, and found that the two trees had sprouted a lot, and many branches had just revealed a little green.

"Isn't this a good thing? Why aren't you happy?" Jiang Jingzhi was very puzzled. The tree at home has recovered its vitality, which means that other plants will gradually recover, and it also means that the remaining animals can survive.Without vegetation, how can we live in winter in the north!

"Jingzhi, have you ever watered the peach tree or pulled out the grass?" Ye Mingze saw Jiang Jing's face was unclear, so he didn't explain, and continued, "Let's put it this way, have you ever taken care of the peach tree? If so, Come and touch it. Well, touch its little branches."

Jiang Jingzhi's expression was inexplicable, and he stretched out his hand to caress a larger bud of the peach tree, and his hand felt normal.Just as he was about to ask, there was a sudden feeling of being touched by something on his fingers.Jiang Jingzhi held his hand in front of his eyes, it was clean and there was nothing there, and then he looked at the young buds, except for the buds and the buds. After staring at it for a long time, there was not a single flower.Jiang Jingzhi couldn't believe it, did he meet a ghost in broad daylight?

Ye Mingze stepped forward and took his hand: "You don't need to look, that little thing is touching you."

Jiang Jingzhi was speechless for a moment.He was frightened, he had never encountered such a thing before, so he was inevitably suspicious.After Ye Mingze comforted him, Jiang Jingzhi finally calmed down.

Jiang Jingzhi: "Is that chestnut tree the same as the peach tree?"

"No, the chestnut tree just turned green, and there is no other abnormality. Let's go, the sun is coming out, let's go back first." Ye Mingze also went back to the house to think about it, and the tree had an abnormal situation again. Is it good or bad.

Now that the autumn harvest is almost over, the Ye family has sent some people to help build the fence. Of course, it is not free, and they will charge a small fee.Some of the remaining people are responsible for cutting firewood in the back mountain.

There are many dead trees on the mountain. From near to far, every few trees are cut down. All the way, the back mountain is much sparser.This is done to prevent soil erosion.After Ye Mingze put forward this suggestion, the villagers did not object. There are many dead trees in the back mountain, which one is not cut down?

In previous years, at the end of autumn, the weeds almost withered naturally.This year is unusual.Most of the plants have been sun-baked and entered the reincarnation ahead of time, and a small number of them have not been sun-dried. They are still green in this season, which is simply against common sense.

There are so many abnormal things that people are no longer surprised by them.

In the evening, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi followed the woodcutters up the mountain.Along the way, as long as they came across living flowers, plants and trees, the two of them would step forward to watch them carefully, and after observing them, they would touch and touch them here and there.The servants who were chopping wood were a little surprised, not knowing what the two masters were busy with.It's normal for them not to understand what the master is doing.Shaking their heads, the servants quickly got back to their own business.

In the back mountain, most of the plants have started to turn green, but like the peach tree in the main house of the Ye family, there are not many branches that can move.When Ye Mingze touched these mutated flowers and trees with his hands, their reactions were not exactly the same as the peach tree in the main house.The plants on the back hill will beat back the hand that touched them, the range is very small, but you can still distinguish the difference between touching and whipping.

The peach tree at home obviously does not resist Ye Mingze's touch, and will respond to them.The two different attitudes seem to indicate a not-so-good future.

Ye Mingze imagined that the big tree was waving its branches, whipping and strangling creatures around.The picture is too beautiful to bear to look at.

As for why they have such completely different experiences, it can only be explained by one being domesticated and the other being wild, just like the difference between a dog and a wolf.

This kind of thing cannot be concealed, and soon, everyone who can know will know.Ye Mingze ordered that when cutting firewood, those flowers and trees with abnormalities should be cut first, and the danger must be killed in the cradle.

The villagers of Yejia Village, who just had some free time, immediately devoted themselves to the activities of eradicating all plants within tens of meters outside the fence.This kind of thing that is related to everyone's life, I would rather believe it than believe it.The villagers are very conscious, and each family is responsible for a section.While he was busy building the fence, he had to shovel the land at the same time. How could the word "busy" describe it.Everyone wished that they could have three heads and six arms.

You don't have to go into the forest often, and firewood is only collected on the outskirts of the forest. There are many people, and the probability of being in danger is not high.The mutating direction of plants has brought a lot of trouble to the sea.Near the coast, there are still some aquatic plants that have not been sunburned.When they come back to life, whether it is entanglement of fishing boats or human beings, the loss will be immeasurable.

Now the people of the Ye family village are already busy enough, the task of cleaning up the abnormal plants near the beach is handed over to the servants of the Ye family.

Since the beginning of this year, every time I have free time, there will be new changes to be dealt with soon. I simply don't give the Ye family villagers a chance to breathe. They didn't die in various disasters. Could it be possible to exhaust them to death?

After the plants have been tossed by the sun, new mutations have appeared, so do humans also have to bask in the sun?This idea is only speculation, and there is no definite proof.Ye Mingze believed in his intuition, the flowers in the greenhouse could not stand the test of wind and frost.Human beings today are like flowers in a greenhouse. Without tempering, they will be eliminated by nature sooner or later.

Ye Mingze told the Ye family to see the sunshine every day.As long as you can bask in the sun as much as you can, I believe it will be good for them.

Fearing that the servants were too honest, Ye Mingze sent people to check on them every day, and if there was a tendency to get sunburned, he would take them back to the house.

At the end of October, the second crop of grain was harvested.The Ye family only collected nearly 30 catties of grain this year, leaving a shortfall of tens of thousands of catties.Fortunately, the Ye family bought enough coarse grains to make up for this gap.In the entire Yangshan County, the reduction in production in Yejia Village is relatively small. Many places only harvested [-]% to [-]% of the grain, and some even only harvested [-]%.

The harvest of the farmland under the care of various forces is not much worse than that of Yejia Village, but these harvests need to be handed over to their respective forces for more than [-]%.In this way, the income of these peasant households is not much more than that of other households.No matter what kind of world the people at the bottom are in, life is difficult, and it has been like this since ancient times.

Not long after entering November, the temperature dropped sharply.Ye Mingze couldn't help but slander that he died in the sun in summer and froze to death in winter.This year's temperature polarization is very serious.If this is the case in the future, this day is really bad enough.Here in Yejia Village, summer is only 35-[-] degrees. According to reliable sources, the highest temperature in the south reaches more than [-] degrees. Not to mention solar radiation, the temperature alone can cause sunburn.

The harvest in the south this year is not as large as that in Yangshan County, but fortunately, the south can grow for several seasons, and the average yield per mu should be higher than that in the north.But in this way, there are new problems.The population density in the south is high, and the yield per mu of fields is also high, so the per capita land area is naturally small.In this way, those who have less land are not as good as the northerners who harvest more.Farmers are naturally those with few fields, and a large number of fields are in the hands of landlords.

Landlords with great influence, who kept their own land at the beginning, gradually turned their tenants into servants, or simply bought servants at a low price.In this kind of world, there should not be too many prostitutes, and those who stutter casually will follow the master's family.

Those less powerful landlords would have a good ending if their fields were seized by tenants, and those who were unlucky might not even be able to save their lives.

Hunger can drive people crazy, so hungry that humans can do anything.Changing children to eat is not just a book.

Ye Mingze had never seen it before, but he could imagine the miserable situation.He thought he couldn't do this kind of thing, but if he didn't reach that point, who would guarantee it?It would be best never to play out this scene in front of him.No matter what, he must protect his family.

For the current Ye Mingze, the disaster happening now is still a trivial matter, and it can be overcome after a while, but the refugee wave is not easy to deal with.Yejia Village is quite famous in Yangshan County, and he can already foresee that refugees will continue to flock to Yejia Village after the spring of next year.How to deal with these refugees at that time really has to think carefully.

The temperature in the north has dropped sharply, and it is estimated that the south will not be much better.This year is better. Some southerners have learned the lessons of last year and set up kangs for their families. This winter will not be difficult.Most of the southerners are taking chances, starting to prepare now, there are so many families, and there are few masters who can cook in the south, and they can't take care of it when the construction period is full.Based on this, most people have to continue to freeze this year.

More than that to worry about, the ocean is the focus of attention.Marine life is unknown, and there are many unknown creatures in modern times, not to mention ancient times, there will only be more surviving species.

Those schools of fish are tens of millions at every turn.With such a huge number, don't upgrade too quickly.Ye Mingze and the others couldn't give up fishing.Otherwise, there is no meat to supplement, and the body is not strong enough, so they can only go to the mountains and forests to hunt beasts.How can the mountains and forests be so easy to enter in the future?This is really an unsolvable problem.

With the same level of ingredients, meat contains much higher energy than grain vegetables.Human beings who only rely on fruits and vegetables will be gradually eliminated by nature.If you want to live well, you must compete with all kinds of creatures. If you win the battle, you can survive. If you can't compete, you will die sooner or later.

The marine life is becoming more and more ferocious. Ye Mingze feels a little bad when he thinks about competing with them for living space in the future.He has worked hard enough, but it is still so difficult to catch up with the footsteps of nature.

Ye Mingze would definitely not do such a thing as giving up the ocean and nestling in Yejia Village, watching other species make steady progress while standing still.Maybe one day there will be creatures crawling out of the ocean, what a surprise for human beings to see and see!It's not impossible for something like this to happen, is it?

Within a few days of entering November, the temperature drops to a level that is not suitable for ordinary people to go to sea.The crew members of the Ye family are all third-level sentinel guides. The third-level sentinels have good cold resistance, while the third-level guides are much less cold-resistant, so they can only wear a few more clothes.The wool Ye Mingze bought back, during this period of time, after many attempts by the handy woman, she has been able to weave the kind of simple sweater and trousers that Ye Mingze thought of, that is, the main body is made of wool, and the joints are sewn with cotton cloth.It looks a little ugly, but it doesn't affect the ability to keep warm.

Now that the weather is cold and the sea temperature is particularly low, these woolen clothes and pants are given priority to the guides in the sea.The guides were very satisfied with the fact that they put on leather jackets and pants and woolen pants on the inside. The cold was blocked from the body at once.

In the future, the skillful hands will try a few more times, and the complete clothes will be just around the corner.

At the beginning of November, the two pairs of third-level sentinel guides that Ye Mingze chose were successfully promoted to fourth-level successively.After entering mid-November, the remaining third-level sentinel guides also began to work hard, and someone would be promoted every few days.

By the end of November, the Ye family had nearly twenty fourth-level sentinel guides.Ye Mingze planned to go into the mountains to hunt level [-] beasts before the road was blocked by heavy snow, and by the way, find some level [-] trees that would not automatically move without wind.

This day, as usual, was a sunny day, Ye Mingze only left a few fourth-level sentinel guides at home, and the rest of the dozen or so people were brought into the mountain by him.Before entering the mountain this time, Ye Mingze did a lot of preparatory work.Sea creatures are so vicious, there's no reason why small things like insects are still the same.

He prepared a whole set of outfits for those who went up the mountain.In winter, the equipment is easy to find. Outside, he wears high-grade leather jacket and leather pants, leather gloves, soft leather boots, and a leather hat with almost transparent tulle hanging from the brim.The wrists, ankles and neck are tightly wrapped, trying not to expose any skin on the whole body.

He didn't believe that such equipment could cause accidents.There is nothing to say in the back mountain. People clean up the prey every day, and it depends on luck to catch a bigger animal.The crowd quickly passed through, and soon they were out of the usual action range of the villagers, and the number of wild beasts increased significantly.Fortunately, many animals have died this year. Generally speaking, the chances of wild beasts appearing in front of their eyes are not high.

Wild beasts are no more cunning than humans. Ye Mingze and the others will unscrupulously let go of their five senses and conduct a wide-ranging search as soon as they enter the forest where the people of Yejia Village rarely set foot.Under Jiang Jingzhi's increase, Ye Mingze's maximum range of five senses has expanded a lot.It's a pity that the mountains and forests cover too much, and he can't actually observe much.

Ye Mingze and the others just came to see the strength of the fourth-level beasts this time, and they didn't plan to go deep into the mountains.Soon, the group found a fourth-level leopard.When Ye Mingze's five senses swept over, the leopard had already noticed it, and he didn't care.When he let go of the five senses, he is ready to be noticed by the other party.
