Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 1024 New Home

What kind of function can be described as "first merit"? It's huge!

What kind of contribution can be so great? It played a pivotal role!

But aren't he and Hai Shi just providing research materials? Being able to be called the "first contributor" means that the materials are extraordinary! Maybe the final research results will be subversive!

Wen Chao would feel that he had done something stupid for handing over such an important thing.

He forced himself to smile as he saw the helicopter off. When he was walking back, people could see that his expression was unnatural. Everyone came up to him and asked, "Officer Wen, what happened to you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just a little tired after walking all this way!" Wen Chaohui waved his hand and said.

Everyone didn't believe it. Wenmengguan usually trained, and his physical fitness was not something that could be troubled by a mountain road. There must be something else.

But since he didn't say anything, they couldn't force him to answer, so they could only surround him and keep an eye on his expression.

Wen Chaohui, who was walking back, felt the kindness of everyone. He sighed, and the depression in his heart also dissipated a lot.

Well, there is no fate, no luck, it’s because Hai City’s scientific research capabilities are not as good as Dijing’s.

Now that it has been given away, he no longer thinks about it. He hopes that the Imperial Capital, which has gathered the most powerful forces in the entire alliance, can study the secret of the black stone!

Here, after Shen Yanming came back, he went to find Liang Huaxin and asked him to bring back some of his own supplies.

There were stoves, sofas, beds, quilts, and old clothes. Although they were extremely dirty, they were good things in this era when reproduction was impossible.

As for food, since it was hard to tell, they confiscated it. The couple didn't feel bad about it, because the current situation didn't allow them to cook for themselves anyway.

The stove has been bumped and dented, and it looks ugly. But fortunately, there are no cracks, so it can still be used.

Shen Yanming pulled out the door panel of his house, which had also been hit by stones and was not flat. After a simple repair, it could still be used. In any case, this metal door with a lock was better than a broken wooden door.

Qi Xili and Qi Lin came over to help, and they quickly put the stove in and set up a simple bed.

The exhaust pipe was ready, the stove was placed neatly, and finally the door was installed. A dark, dim, but fairly private little cave was completed.

After Shen Yanming thanked the Qi family father and son, he took Bi Qiaoan and An An Nuan Nuan back home. The family of four looked at the new environment happily, not disliking it at all because it was so simple.

The mother and her two children used the light coming through a small hole above their heads to reach out and touch the wall. Their hands were instantly covered with damp mud, and the cold touch made them feel that if they stayed here for a long time, they might get rheumatism.

Seeing this, Shen Yanming whispered, “In a couple of days, let’s scrape the wall with cement and it will be clean.”

"That's not what I meant. I just think it's too humid here and I'm afraid I'll get arthritis or rheumatism if I live here for too long."

Chen Yanming thought about it and said, "I'll go get some firewood and light the stove. It should be better once the wall is dry."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, and Shen Yanming continued, "The wall surface still needs to be treated. Otherwise, it would be bad if some snakes, insects, rats or ants came out of the cracks in the soil."

Bi Qiaoan was shocked: "Is this cave so unsafe?"

Shen Yanming laughed: "I don't know either, but I packed it up in advance, so I can live in peace."

"What if someone finds out?"

"Well, just apply a layer of paint that's the same color as the soil on top of the cement. Or you can just apply the soil in the space directly."

Bi Qiaoan smiled and nodded in agreement.

After the couple discussed it, they left the cave. Shen Yanming did not go to collect firewood, because he was thinking about Li Zhaozhao, so he went to visit him first. But Bi Qiaoan took the two children to collect firewood in the mountains.

But this job was simple. There were dead branches everywhere in the mountains. After a short while, the mother and her two daughters returned home with several bundles of firewood.

Bi Qiaoan half-closed the door and asked An An Nuan Nuan to help watch. She took out a lighter and waste newspaper from the space, lit them and put them in the stove, and then added some firewood.

Gray-black smoke rushed out instantly. Fortunately, there was a flue in the cave. Bi Qiaoan put the lid on the stove and the smoke floated out along the flue.

"It's not snowing outside, so why is the firewood so wet?" She curled her lips, somewhat confused.

But I didn't worry about it. After making sure the stove was lit, I quietly put some charcoal in it. This thing is durable and doesn't produce too much smoke. As long as you pay attention to ventilation, it's safe.

I cleaned the cave with An'an and Nuan'an, as it was getting late. The three of them were hungry, so they closed the door and Bi Qiaoan slipped into the space.

She walked to the storage area and put several meals in a small basket. Just as she was about to leave, she remembered that her old man Shen was coming.

Through the consciousness, he looked outside the space and saw Li Zhaozhao lying on the bed with a painful expression, and Xu Yajing and Li's father and mother beside him all looked depressed. Only the baby of the Li family was unaware of the pain and was playing by himself.

Shen Yanming found his wife and said consciously: "Dear, why are you here? An An Nuan Nuan didn't come in?"

Before Bi Qiaoan could reply, he heard Li Zhaozhao complaining, "Everything at home is buried. My legs can't move for a while. Yajing and Xiaobao can't bear the hardship. Yanming, you..."

Li Zhaozhao looked at Shen Yanming eagerly, the hint in his eyes not concealed at all.

Shen Yanming smiled but didn't respond.

Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but complain in the space: "He wants you to help him get supplies! What a good plan!"

You can profit without any effort or risk.

"It was he who wanted to move the supplies out of the space in the first place. Now we have to go a long way to get them. Our family is already the center of attention, and now that everyone is here, it's not easy to go out. And we don't know how much stuff is left over there. What if we get blackmailed...

Well, of course this is unlikely. So to put it another way, if the cave over there collapses, will you still have to clean it up for him?"

Chen Yanming looked at his wife with amusement and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I don't plan to agree to it."

Bi Qiaoan was so angry that she didn't want to listen anymore. She said, "An'an Nuan'nuan is still waiting for me. I'm going out first!" Then she walked out of the transparent light curtain and went to the planting area.

Before Shen Yanming could say a few more words to his wife, he disappeared. He smiled and told her half-truths about his family's situation: "Zhao Zhao, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't.

Our family is closely connected to the Imperial Capital, you should have heard of this. The helicopter came and left today, how many eyes were watching our family of four in the dark? Do you think that if I bring your things back for you, that place can still be saved?"

Li Zhaozhao was startled, then felt a chill in his heart.
