Dangerous Survival in the Apocalypse Chapter 35

May 6 2019, one month and three days after the virus outbreak.

On the national road outside the northern suburbs of H City, Shen Shian was carrying a heavy sword and striding around the abandoned vehicles everywhere.

"Don't make a noise," He continued, "Hurry up, it's going to be dark soon."

"Ok." A child behind him who didn't seem to be four or five years old answered. With a sword in his hand, he reached out and dug a crystal the size of a marble out of a zombie's head

He wiped the marbles with his shirt, and then carrying the Tang sword that was more than half of his whole body, he ran to Shen Shian's side.

"An An, I give you this."

Shen Shian took the crystal nucleus into the space and felt that the spring mouth sucked the nucleus immediately, and the flow of the spring water increased slightly. His face showed amazement but it was wrinkled when his eyes focused on the child. He took out two disinfectant wipes and squatted down to wipe him. "How many times have I said, don't dig out the zombie's brain directly."

Shen Xun obediently extended his two hands, and the wet wipes soaked with alcohol were rubbed on his hands. The cloth strap on his shoulder used to carry the sword slipped down, and he quickly raised his hand and pulled it back.

Shen Shian saw that and said, "Return the sword, I will give you a shorter dagger." The Tang sword was too big and heavy. It was also a bit taller than the child, if the child leans slightly backward, he would fall down due to the weight.

Shen Xun quickly grabbed the strap, "No, I want this one."

"Why?"

"This sword is magnificent and domineering, super handsome."

Shen Shian, "You're not an adult yet you can already tell handsome and not apart?"

However, the child's use and proficiency of the Tang sword really exceeded his expectations. He was blessed with amazing power and fought in a fierce manner. Shen Shian estimated that if he hadn't advanced, he was not the child's opponent.

Of course, from time to time, his physique had been greatly improved by soaking in the spring. This little child has drained the entire spring mouth, and it was unreasonable without some inhuman skills.

But his other ability made Shen Shian a little jealous. Probably because he was a dog, the zombies had no interest in him at all. Even if he walked past the zombies, no zombies would take the initiative to attack, at most when they were attacked, they would fight back.

This ability meant that he could simply walk anywhere in the apocalypse, and could also neutralize the attraction of the zombies to Shen Shian's spring.

It wa probably a dog race's gift

Shen Xun resolutely refuses to not use the Tang sword, and Shen Shian had no other choice. After wiping his hands, he wiped the blood and brain stains on his clothes, got up and went forward. The ordinary zombies wandering between vehicles did not pose a threat to him, and he could solve it without pulling his sword.

After leaving the library, he stayed in the suburban area of ​​H city for more than a week, one to hoard fuel and the other to collect mutant zombies' crystal nuclei.

Fuel was relatively easy. He ran to fourteen or fifteen gas stations, and in each gas station he collected about one-tenth of the oil storage. At present, there were more than ten tons of gasoline and fuel in the space, which was enough for them to drive all the way to Beijing.

Crystal nuclei were slightly more troublesome. Crystal nuclei that could be absorbed by the spring mouth only exist in the brain of mutant zombies, and the mutant zombies were not common, or it was common only in places where many zombies gather. Only 23 crystal nuclei have been collected in so many days.

He regretted that he did not solve a little more mutant zombies in the process of escaping the library. There were as many as tens of thousands of zombies around the library, and there were at least thousands of mutant zombies there.

During the collection of materials, he encountered a total of four waves of rescue teams, all of whom came from the nearby military area. They were responsible for transferring the survivors to a safe haven without going to the capital. Shen Shian originally wanted to try if he could use the military's communication equipment to get in touch with Mr. Gu, but the other party responded that they could not communicate with Beijing.

Regardless of whether this statement was true or merely used to evade civilians' rhetoric, Shen Shian didn't bother to ask them further and told them that there were more than 50 survivors in the city library. whether the other party chose to save them or not was beyond his control.

Shen Xun tightened the strap, chased him and held his hand, "An An, when are we going to eat in the space?"

"Why, hungry?"

There should be a lot of survivors who chose to flee from the North Square. He abandoned the car for various reasons. He and the children have walked for nearly two kilometers, and the long queue of traffic jams in front of him was still not over.

He bent over and hugged the child. Taking the Tang sword on the child's back into the space, "Wait a while, and let the sun go down. When the sun goes down completely we will enter the space."

The setting sun was as red as blood, dragging a long shadow behind them. There was silence all around, the evening breeze coming from the wilderness blowing away the rancid rot in the air, and the weary birds returning from the forest fluttered between the clouds. The freedom revealed a bit of romantic poetry.

By the time the last rays of sun covered the horizon, the congested vehicles finally came to an end.

Shen Shian was at ease and together with Shen Xun, they disappeared from their original place.

Compared with ten days ago, the space has changed a lot. Shen Shian used the collected grass seeds to expand two more than 100 square meters of lawn on the black soil, one to store fuel and one to store non-food materials.

The time static function of the second floor of the bamboo building was too precious. Shen Shian decided to use it only for food storage, and planned fixed areas to divide raw food, cooked food, fruits, and packed convenience foods. This made it very convenient to find and take things.

"Take off your clothes." Shen Shian said to the child. He took the dirty clothes the child gave him and gave him clean clothes to change to.

The generator was placed on the open space behind the bamboo building, filled with diesel and set up. At present, electricity could be used normally in the space. There were no shortcomings except for the sound.

Using water was a little bit troublesome. Although there was a spring and a stream in the space, the spring water was too precious to be used for washing clothes and dishes. Therefore, in addition to fuel, Shen Shian also went to the residential building to store a large amount of tap water.

Shen Xun, holding a fruit bowl full of cherry seeds, followed him like a tail. "An An, what will we eat tonight?"

Shen Shian was in a good mood. "You order, I will cook." The rice bowl for lunch prepared before leaving home has not been eaten yet. He could place them on the second floor, the journey will be long.

The child's eyes were as bright as light bulbs. After more than an hour, stewed fish and tofu, Sydney pig lung soup, roasted potatoes with meat, white boiled shrimps, braised pork trotters, shredded sweet potatoes and rice cooked in a rice cooker. The table was full of steam.

After eating and drinking enough, with Shen Shian's consent, the child went to the second floor and took a box of ice cream for dessert. Shen Shian cleaned the table, took the chopsticks to the bamboo forest behind the house, and was preparing to wash it when Shen Xun came with one hand holding the ice cream and the other holding a small bench. "An An, I will help you.”

Shen Shian smiled, thinking about this son. I didn't raise him for nothing.

Then in just ten minutes, he witnessed the child breaking three bowls.

The time in space was different from the outside world. A day in the real world was almost two days in the space, so Shen Shian usually spent half of his time resting and the other half of his time expanding land.

He found a lot of seeds in the farmer's market in H city. So in addition to tomatoes and cherries, he now planted about two fields of sweet potatoes and about one fields of strawberries.

Sweet potatoes were already planted early and could be eaten a week ago. They were sweet and soft and well-proportioned. They were about one-third the size of a rugby ball. Whether they were steamed, cooked, grilled or fried, they were extremely delicious, especially the shredded sweet potatoes, which have recently risen to one of Shen Xun's favorite sweets.

The strawberry was just planted yesterday, and the growing time was similar to that of tomato. The whole process of flowering and fruiting was completed in just three hours. The aroma of strawberries growing from the absorption of spring water was particularly strong. When he walked into the strawberry field, he was seduced by the tempting sweet aroma. If he waited for a little longer, his breath might become sweet.

Shen Xun wanted to eat the strawberries last night, but Shen Shian didn't allow him to. The shelf life of strawberries was very short compared to other fruits, so he wanted to see if the fresh-keeping effect on the second floor had any effect on it. He picked and placed some on the second floor of the bamboo building.

At present, the effect was not bad. They were all red and they didn't look much different from when he picked them last night.

He turned and said to the child, "It can be picked, be careful not to fall when you pick it, and remember to wash it before eating."

While Shen Xun was itchy to pick strawberries, Shen Shian walked out of the strawberry field and went to the tomato forest . It has been more than four months since the first batch of more than 2,000 tomato trees were planted. With the constant picking, about 500 tomatoes were harvested.

Originally he was still worried about the tomato tree being so tall and large. After the tomatoes were picked, what would he do to restore the land to its original state? It would be a big project if he would cut the trees one by one. It wouldn't be easy.

Unexpectedly, after all the fruits on the first tomato tree were completely picked, the entire tomato tree was retracted to the normal plant size at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and eventually fell in the land and disappeared. The black land disappeared in this way.

This was really another surprise from the space. In this way, he could easily reuse the land in the space.

At present, there were six fields on the black soil. One tomato, one cherry, one sweet potato, one strawberry, and two fields as storage space. There were nearly 5,000 square meters of original land waiting for further development and utilization.

Because of the short growth period of the herbaceous plant, it could mature in a few hours, and the second floor of the bamboo building also stored a large amount of vegetables and he has not eaten them, so he did not plan to plant vegetables for the time being.

It was too troublesome to grow rice and the like. He had no experience in harvesting, so he did not consider it until the finished rice was eaten.

The woody plant had a long growth period, but he had no seeds or seedlings. If he met one on the way, he could transplant a few trees.

He made a general plan in his heart, looked up and called the child home. "Go back to sleep."

They had to hurry at full speed tomorrow morning.
