I Run a Farm in the Apocalypse

In her previous life, Lin Yu was shoved into a horde of zombies by a trusted companion on the way to the base, and died tragically at the hands of countless zombies and mutated plants.

This time...

Chapter 21 Debt Settlement

Zhang Yu felt pain all over his body. The mocking sounds in his ears made him angry and he struggled to get up from the ground.

He took a deep look at Lin Yu and the others, lowered his eyelashes to hide the resentment in his eyes, and secretly vowed that sooner or later he would make them pay for their blood debt with blood.

Zhang Yu limped away from here.

Lin Yu didn't care too much about Zhang Yu. A person like him who looked down on women and children would definitely not survive long in the apocalypse. What's more, he was electrocuted by Pei Yan's supernatural power for a moment, so there was no need to deal with him at all.

After everyone left, Lin Yu first harvested the rice she had planted before leaving the villa.

Different from QQ Farm, when harvesting crops in reality, it is not like in the game where you can just click "one-click harvest". Instead, you need to follow the normal threshing operation, cut the rice ears, then thresh them into grains, and finally peel off the husks of the rice.

Everything needs to be done personally.

Fortunately, when Lin Yu was collecting supplies at the farmers' market, he also bought shelling machines, grinders and other machines. Apart from being a little troublesome, there was nothing wrong with them.

Pei Linlang looked at the heavy ears of rice hanging on the branches and wanted to say something but stopped herself from saying it. However, she was afraid that knowing too much was not a good thing as her brother said. Just like in the movies, if you know too much you will be killed by the villain. However, she knew that Sister Lin Yu was not that kind of person.

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Linlang said, "Sister Lin Yu, are you planning to put all this rice away? Let me help you."

When Pei Linlang was in the fifth grade of elementary school, she took an extracurricular extension class to help empty-nest elderly people thresh grain. Under the guidance of the teacher, she experienced the novelty of threshing grain and truly understood the meaning of "every grain of rice is hard-earned" in the book.

She felt a little melancholy, not knowing what had become of her teacher and the classmates she had spent so much time with...

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Can you thresh grain?"

Pei Linlang had a childish temper. Melancholy came and went quickly. She touched her nose embarrassedly and said, "I took an extracurricular experiment class before, so I know a little bit..."

Lin Yu didn't intend to be polite with them, and immediately turned to look at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan nodded hesitantly under her inquiring gaze: "I don't know how to thresh grain, but I can learn."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a big meal after we finish threshing the grain."

She rummaged through the space for a while, and three sickles and three pairs of gloves appeared in her hands. She gave a set to each of them.

With strength in numbers, it didn't take long to thresh the rice ears.

After removing the shell and storing it in the space, the pleasant system prompt sounded beside my ears——

[Obtain 10 jin of rice and 20 gold coins.]

She deliberately observed the expressions of the brother and sister. There was nothing unusual on their faces. It was obvious that only Lin Yu could hear the system's voice. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Yu bundled up the straw and put it in the yard to dry. It could be used for burning fire or as nesting materials for chickens and ducks in the future.

After doing all this, she took a hoe and plowed out the fields. After thinking about it, she finally decided to grow rice.

Lin Yu planted crops several times and roughly figured out some patterns.

No matter what crops are planted, each piece of farmland can harvest two kilograms of food each time, and the time it takes for the farmland to mature is about ten and a half hours. The quality of the seeds produced by the system is slightly better than the seeds bought outside.

Lin Yu opened the system store and took a look. Some of the seeds in the store were lit up and were no longer gray and unavailable for purchase.

She flipped through the pages and found that the seeds on the first few pages were cabbage, radish, spinach, etc. Vegetable seeds were relatively cheap. It only took 20 gold coins to buy one seed, and then you could harvest two kilograms of food at a time, but you could only harvest one crop.

Lin Yu rolled back. If Pei Yan and Pei Linlang hadn't been beside her, she would have almost lost her composure.

Because in the last few pages of the store, Lin Yu saw the seeds of mutant plants, each of which had various abilities.

There are mutant vines that can act as surveillance; there are mutant willows that can spit fire; there are even mutant poisonous aloe vera... In short, there are all kinds of strange mutant plants, and the prices are very attractive. The countless zeros at the end make Lin Yu stop in his tracks.

Compared with the "safe zone", the ability of the mutated plants in the system store may sound a bit useless, but as the scope of the farmland gradually expands in the future, and the crops in the farmland mature every twelve hours, Lin Yu alone will definitely not be able to handle it. At that time, he may need to recruit some people to help with farming. With the mutated plants to help supervise, Lin Yu can save a lot of effort.

It's just too early to say this now, let's talk about the future later. Lin Yu clapped his hands, took out a bag of hot pot base from the space, and looked at the two of them with a smile: "Let's go, let's go cook hot pot."

Pei Linlang shouted, "Great!"

Lin Yu smiled, took out the ingredients for the hot pot from the space, and then used his special ability to fill a large bucket of water. The three of them divided the work clearly, some washed the vegetables, some cut the vegetables, and they had a delicious hot pot.

After eating hot pot, Pei Yan took the initiative to take on the task of washing dishes. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his wheat-colored skin. His even muscle lines looked particularly textured under the sunlight. The hem of his shirt was tucked into his trousers, and his long and straight legs were extremely eye-catching.

Pei Yan is 1.85 meters tall, with straight and slender legs. Even the most basic black and white combination is worn by him with a sense of nobility. The only flaw is that his white shirt has become wrinkled after a day of bloody fighting, and there is a trace of blood on the clothes.

Pei Linlang sneaked up to Lin Yu and pouted in Pei Yan's direction: "Isn't my brother handsome?"

Lin Yu nodded generously: "He is indeed very handsome."

Pei Linlang secretly instigated, "You're my brother's and my savior. How about I give you my brother as collateral for your debt?"

Lin Yu choked on his saliva and started coughing violently, his face flushed red. "Cough cough cough... What did you say? Pay off a debt?!"

Pei Linlang put her finger to her lips and made a "hush" gesture. Before she could say anything, Pei Yan looked at her with a sharp gaze: "Pei Linlang!"

Pei Linlang looked embarrassed and called out weakly, "Brother..."

Pei Yan sneered: "I didn't know you had such an idea."

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Pei Linlang laughed dryly: "Well, my stomach hurts a bit. I'm going to the bathroom first. You guys chat."

Pei Yan: “Haha!”
