Brains Out Waiting for the Apocalypse, Stockpiling Food with a Space

Lin Yue has been having a recurring dream recently. One scene depicts the global apocalypse arriving on June 15th. The other scene shows her tied up and bound, suspended in a warehouse with over te...

Chapter 121 There is no rampant destruction, only utter devastation.

The moment Lin Yue handed over her hand, two snakes on Yun Zechen tried to crawl up her hand. As soon as they stretched out their bodies, Yun Zechen quickly raised his hand and pulled them away, then swiftly took the bag from Lin Yue. His clumsy appearance just now seemed to have been an illusion.

Cang Yu raised an eyebrow, suddenly finding Yun Zechen even more displeasing, even though he hadn't let the snake crawl over.

Lin Yue wasn't afraid of snakes, but there were just too many of them, which made her feel a little nauseous. Besides, the long gloves she wore had a special medicine for these things; the snake that had just crawled up to her would have died instantly, but it wouldn't have harmed her.

After Yun Zechen took the bag, she said calmly, "This is for two meals. Take half a serving each time and dilute it with half a cup of warm water. Take it once tonight and once tomorrow morning. Don't take too much, or you'll have to bear the consequences."

The last sentence was superfluous on her part. Since ancient times, 99.9% of people have followed the doctor's prescription. The remaining 0.1% are either stupid or accidentally forget to take the medicine.

There's only a small amount of medicine, and Yun Zechen is so filial, he definitely wouldn't make a mistake.

However, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake; if you dilute it with water, the effect won't be as obvious.

"Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister. I'll go back now and come back to you after all these damned things are gone." He was scared too, but for his grandfather's sake, he could overcome these things.

After Yun Zechen left, the two went back to sleep.

When Yun Zechen returned with the medicine, he didn't waste a moment. He immediately had someone remove the snakes from his body, took off his flight suit, and then rushed into Old Master Yun's room, diluted the medicine with water, and gave it to Old Master Yun to drink.

Strictly following Lin Yue's instructions, I poured only half and mixed it with half a cup of warm water.

The Yun family was actually considered good. After Yun Zechen received inspiration from Lin Yue, he immediately followed her example, hardening all areas and buying heat insulation mats to cover the roof and garden floor.

He changed into a diving suit, but it wasn't used; the flight suit he was wearing just now was the one he had changed into earlier.

At the time, they wanted to install an electric grid, but there weren't enough replacements available. Since the available capacity was only enough for a small section, they didn't proceed with the replacement.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have changed it back then, and enclosed as many fences as possible.

Nothing crawled out of their yard, but quite a few climbed up the wall outside. Fortunately, they had a lot of servants, and ten of them were spraying the base's insecticide continuously, so the situation was relatively optimistic.

But even the most optimistic person can make mistakes. Grandpa Yun was bitten by a venomous snake that had slipped in unnoticed.

After taking the medicine, Old Master Lin slowly woke up, and everyone in the Yun family breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Zechen was relieved that he hadn't given up trying to get closer to Lin Yue, otherwise his grandfather would have been truly beyond saving this time.

In this extremely hot weather, it gets light very early; it was bright before five o'clock. Lin Yue and Cang Yu went to bed early last night, so they naturally got up early as well.

After getting up, washing up, and having breakfast, I opened the gate and went out into the yard.

The yard remained clean and tidy, with no unsightly things coming in, and the number of snakes and rats on the electric fence had decreased significantly.

The gray wolf and the snow wolf ran out like frolicking merrily, and soon they were wrestling and sparring together.

The two of them didn't sit still and immediately started fighting.

After only a dozen or so moves, a commotion broke out outside, and then someone rang her wind chimes.

Lin Yue went straight over and pulled open the access panel. There were no rats that were about to crawl in. Yang Ning was standing outside.

He wasn't as disheveled as Yun Zechen was last night; he was wearing ordinary clothes, carrying a large sack, and tools for catching snakes and rats.

"Miss Lin, excuse me. May I ask if we can collect the snakes and rats that you electrocuted? We're not trying to take advantage of you. If you need anything in the future, we won't charge you," Yang Ning asked with a smile.

After nightfall last night, everyone in the base realized that even venomous snakes were food.

Because many people in the base hadn't worked for a long time after the ice melted, and their families didn't have much food to begin with, they were caught off guard by the initial attack. Then the base came and sprayed pesticides, making everyone forget about the incident.

Once one person takes the first step, the rest will fall into place naturally.

So, after just one night, the snakes and rats that were still densely packed despite the poisoning quickly died off layer after layer. No matter how fast they crawled out, they couldn't outrun the people in the base.

Once people started capturing them, the base stopped spraying pesticides and instead announced that snakes and rats could be exchanged for points and food.

In China, however, there has never been anything that runs rampant, only things that are eaten to extinction. So now, the snakes and rats that appear in the ordinary areas of the base are almost extinct.

Most people in Yuquan Residential Area and the villa area have some assets, so few people would catch these things as food reserves. The base leadership found some honest and kind people in the base who didn't like to cause trouble to catch snakes and rats in these two places. Yang Ning and his group were assigned to this area.

"What do you think?" Lin Yue asked Cang Yu.

She personally had no objection, but he did have a share in the power grid project.

"Okay." Lin Yue asked for his opinion, and he was very happy.

“Okay, you guys pick them up!” Lin Yue replied.

Anyway, no one takes care of the dead outside, so she doesn't want to deal with it. The base staff will only give her two pounds of grain if they come to collect it, so it's no big deal for them to collect it.

"By the way, you don't have to wait until next time. I'll turn off the power now, and you can help me clean up the electric grid."

There are many small ones stuck in the power grid, which is quite troublesome to clean up. Outsourcing the project will definitely save us the trouble.

"Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you, Miss Lin! We will definitely clean it up thoroughly." Yang Ning immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

The scraps at the base of the wall were practically free, and the ones on the electric fence were just a matter of using a ladder—all freebies. Miss Lin is so kind; he'll definitely pay more attention to everything, big or small, at the base in the future, and tell Miss Lin about it whenever he sees her.

After receiving permission, Yang Ning and the others immediately divided the work: three people stayed to continue catching and collecting snakes and rats, while the other two went to find a ladder.

Lin Yue and Cang Yu were still fine, just doing their usual activities.

Two days later, Cang Yu took Cang Lang out to find food again.

During the extreme cold period, he had already led the people from the Azure Dragon Base to find areas prone to flooding. There was a slight deviation when they went, but the overall situation remained the same, except that the grain in two places had been taken away.

Lin Yue didn't go with them this time. She was going to the Yun family to pick up something that the old man had promised her. After what happened last time, she felt that it was better to make demands sooner rather than later.

There aren't as many snakes and rats as before, so I didn't have much psychological pressure in the past.

She brought the snow wolf to the Yun family's house, rang the doorbell, and a servant quickly came to open the door.

"Miss Lin, please come in." The maid had seen Lin Yue before and had never forgotten her appearance.

The host family instructed that Lin Yue didn't need to be reported when she came; they could just bring her in directly.

Lin Yue wasn't surprised to hear that she was to be taken inside directly, and followed the people inside without driving this time.
