"Grandpa Tian, ​​if you and Tianmei have time, go to the house next door and collect some sand. I remember there's a lot of sand piled up in that yard!"

Before leaving, Lin Xue told Tian Shanchuan and then took Tian Youcai out the door.

"We'd better get a vehicle, otherwise we'll have to carry everything back by hand every time we get something!"

At the intersection, Lin Xue blocked the way with something, making it difficult for zombies to get in. However, if a large number of them came, they could still get through these things.

The two squeezed through the gap beside them and soon found their way to the street.

Lin Xue had already cleared out the zombies in this area once, and since there hadn't been any major disturbances, the zombies from further away hadn't yet wandered over here.

Aside from the occasional lone zombie that wanders out of some random house, the area is quite quiet.

"Boss, we still need to clean up these corpses sometime, otherwise leaving them here will affect the level of zombie toxins in the air around here!"

Tian Youcai glanced at the zombies lying haphazardly on the ground.

The weather is still very hot. Although flies and mosquitoes have disappeared since the end of the world, the stench is still unbearable.

"We can talk about that later. We need to solve our housing safety problem first!"

Lin Xue did not stop walking, nor did she look at the zombies again.

Although the zombies in this world are ferocious, they have not mutated into strange or unusual abilities.

Similarly, humans do not possess superpowers, but their physical abilities seem to have become stronger.

For example, before the zombie apocalypse, it would probably be very difficult for people to survive if they only ate one meal a day.

However, in this era, as long as you can supplement with a small amount of nutrition every day, you can ensure the body's basic vitality.

Moreover, people seem to be stronger and have a better reaction time than before.

The two chatted occasionally, and finally, with Tian Youcai's guidance, they entered an inconspicuous, dilapidated courtyard.

The courtyard looked dilapidated at first glance, and the gate was crooked.

Normal people looking for supplies wouldn't go into a place like this, but Tian Youcai said that before the apocalypse, this was a place that sold cement paint.

The two of them came out this time specifically for this item.

"Go check if that trolley is still usable?"

Lin Xue pointed to the small carts piled up in the corner of the yard. These carts have rubber wheels and don't make much noise when pushed.

It would be suitable for transporting goods.

"It's usable, but the iron bucket needs to be re-welded!"

Tian Youcai inspected it and found that it was usable, but some parts were badly rusted and cracked.

However, their place had electricity, and Lin Xue had somehow found a toolbox.

All we need to do is use tools to reinforce the iron bucket.

The two began to work separately, as the cement left outside was no longer usable after being washed away by the rain.

Tian Youcai found a few bags in the house, and put the ones that were barely usable into the cart.

Lin Xue then placed a few more buckets of paint on top.

"I found some rope, can you secure the things on the cart?"

Lin Xue threw the rope to Tian Youcai and then went upstairs.

I didn't expect there to be so many materials on the second floor.

With these things, the Dao is enough for their temporary use.

However, it will take some time to transport all of these things back.

Fortunately, besides the somewhat dilapidated little cart in the yard, there were a few more inside the house.

Lin Xue also chose a truck, piled it full of cement, and the two of them pushed the things home.

The journey was quiet, without a sound, except for the occasional roar of zombies in the distance.

"Boss, did you get the cement from Fatty Liu's house?"

Tian Shanchuan, who had been standing on the platform watching, saw Lin Xue and the others returning from afar.

He quickly opened the courtyard gate and let Lin Xue and the others in.

"Go open the door to the next room. This thing is all dusty and can't be left in our living area!"

Lin Xue stopped at the door and did not choose to push the car inside.

"Oh, boss, you're so insightful!"

Tian Shanchuan thought it made sense, so he quickly went to open the gate of the neighboring courtyard.

The main entrance is installed directly inside the bungalow.

Inside, there are two small storage rooms on either side, and a huge passageway in the middle.

Lin Xue poured the cement from the cart into the passageway, where she wouldn't have to worry about it getting wet in the rain, and it was also convenient to use.

"Dad, the zombies here have been mostly cleared out. Why don't you and Sweetie come with us later?"

"The sooner we get the supplies back, the sooner we can start work!"

After going out for a while, Tian Youcai gained a new understanding of the surrounding environment and decided to take his father and daughter with him.

Our family has already benefited from Lin Xue's influence, so we can't just stay at home and do nothing.

"Okay, I'll summon Sweetness right now!"

Tian Shanchuan also felt that his son made sense, so he called his granddaughter along, and the four of them returned to Liu Dapang's cement factory.

It took them a whole day to bring back less than a third of the cement.

However, these are enough for now, and Lin Xue plans to go find some more bricks tomorrow.

"Everyone must be tired today. I know a place where a lot of plants grow. I'll take you there to see if there are any edible ones!"

Lin Xue washed her hands and wiped her face before speaking to the three of them.

Although everyone is tired, all the hard work now is worthwhile in order to build our home and have a better life in the future.

"Really?"

"Little Xue, let's go quickly. My father and grandfather never allow me to go out alone. Only you can take me out to see the world!"

Upon hearing Lin Xue's words, Tian Mimi happily took her arm.

Tian Shanchuan and Tian Youcai both call Lin Xue "Boss," but Tian Mimi always calls her "Little Xue Sister."

Lin Xue didn't care much about how she was addressed, but instead asked her to go inside and bring out two buckets.

"Lock the gate, let's go out now!"

Lin Xue glanced at the sky; there were still more than two hours until dark.

Taking them to that place should be enough for one round trip.

Actually, the place she mentioned wasn't far from where they lived.

After crossing two streets, you come to an open space.

This vacant lot was originally intended by the developer to be used for building houses, but unfortunately, the apocalypse came just as they acquired the land.

So this vacant lot has been abandoned ever since.

Now the land is covered with all kinds of wild grass and vegetables. Lin Xue led the three members of the Tian family to this open space.

In the distance, one can still vaguely see the figures of the zombies.

The three members of the Tian family consciously held their breath, worried that they might make a sound and attract the zombies in the distance.

Fortunately, those ghostly things only have hearing and no sight. Although their sense of smell is also good, it only comes into play when they are close by!
