Chapter 210 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse (40)

However, given Chen Dalong's repeated experiences of bringing people here, and Da Bao's records of the zombie mutation process, as well as their understanding over the past few days, they were able to overcome these challenges.

Shen Ci suddenly realized that zombies weren't actually as difficult to deal with as they were portrayed in movies and TV series.

First of all, zombies only mutate when people are injured, and most of the transmission occurs through bites, scratches, etc. So as long as humans protect themselves, they will not be bitten.

No matter what, zombies are still human beings. If they are not afraid of living, what would they be afraid of dead? Zombie teeth are still human teeth after all, and their penetrating power is limited. If you wrap yourself in bulletproof vests that can't be penetrated by bullets, can a zombie bite through them?

If they can bite through it, the zombies will be as deadly as bullets and can be used as a new type of energy source. If they cannot, the entire population can be effectively protected.

Furthermore, after researching for so long, Shen Ci and Da Bao have discovered that zombies can be completely dealt with by simply ignoring them.

What drives a zombie is the nerves that remain in its flesh. Zombies are made of flesh and blood, so they will inevitably rot. Once a zombie has completely rotted away and is left with only a skeleton, it loses its ability to attack, move, and its nerves are gone.

However, they also discovered that a substance should be produced inside the zombies to prevent and slow down the rate of decay, thus allowing the zombies to survive for a longer period of time.

But no matter how slow it is, it will eventually rot given enough time. Alternatively, if you put the zombie in hot water to cook it and shave off its flesh, the zombie will lose its ability to move.

Tiny zombies are nothing to fear. The biggest obstacle in this world is the high temperature before the zombies appear. Humans are simply powerless against nature.

"Da Bao, do you miss the old world?"

Shen Ci looked at Da Bao, who was already very composed at such a young age, and asked him. He had already learned many skills and was developing in all aspects, including morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor. Whenever he had free time, he would study zombies to improve himself.

"Mom, I don't know."

Since the world changed, I've been living with my mother. If the world recovers, will she separate from me?

He loved the safe and beautiful world he used to live in, but back then, he could only live with his aunt's family, and he wasn't happy there.

Oh no, the child has become more sensible, but what happened before has indeed left a shadow in his heart.

Shen Ci quickly brought him some of his favorite snacks. The child's words made her feel sorry for him and heartbroken.

No, it won't.

Da Bao, from now on you will live with Mommy unless you want to go to a wider world. Before, Mommy only left temporarily. Mommy needs to prepare the things you will need after you come to live with us.

See, the apocalypse hasn't even happened yet, but Mommy has already appeared. It's just that my baby had to wait an extra year.

Whether it's the apocalypse or the old days, Mom will never leave you again.

How many parents don't want to be with their children? They still need to make money. The original owner of the divorced woman had no money at all; she was a housewife, and she didn't have custody of the children.

"I like the original world, there are no zombies, no high temperatures, and not many people die."

Although many bad people died, the old lady in my neighborhood who always gave me ice cream turned into a zombie, and many of the kids I used to play with also turned into zombies.

"Mom, the old world was better."

Even the youngest child will have the most direct feeling about this apocalyptic catastrophe. He knows that the bad guys are dead, but the people who were good to him before are also dead. Shen Ci's heart softened. The apocalypse will end sooner or later, but why not sooner?

For those who have tragically lost family members, if it had happened a day earlier, those important people wouldn't have left, and the world would be very different.

"Da Bao, let's work together to slowly restore this world."

Mom tells you that the world will definitely return to normal one day, but if more people push for it, it will return to normal sooner!

Peace is so precious.

After having this idea, Shen Ci went out. She guessed that Chen Dalong would not come again for a while, because this time, there was infighting in Chen Dalong's team, and he might even be all alone now.

Shen Ci casually grabbed a zombie wandering near his house and tied it up in the yard. The villa's yard was very large and well-landscaped; all of this was within the walls.

"Mother!

"Did you capture a zombie to study?"

When Da Bao saw this, he ran over with great joy, not afraid at all. Zombies are too mechanical and have no brains. For people who are familiar with them, they are easy to avoid and easy to attack.

"Yes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

Judging from the situation, the mutation shouldn't be too recent, as there isn't much decay on its body yet, so it should last for quite a while.

What happened to the things we found in the fields down the mountain last time?

Da Bao is incredibly strong now! He doesn't look like a seven-year-old at all. He can easily lift heavy objects by himself. Da Bao dragged a... plowshare out from the corner of the wall.

Yes, it's the plow used for farming. The front part is a rope, usually used to attach to an ox, and the back part is a pointed plow with an iron plate that a person can control. The ox pulls the plow, and the person controls the direction to plow the land.

"Our task today is to loosen the soil in this yard, cultivate it, and most importantly, learn how to harness the energy that can be used from the zombies."

Only by facing your fears can you stop being afraid!

"Da Bao, you hang in front controlling the zombies, and I'll control the plow from behind."

After Shen Ci made the arrangements, the two of them started working hard. Da Bao walked in front, holding a piece of raw pork stuck in a stick, leading the zombies forward. This was their motivation.

Shen Ci held the plow behind him, planting it into the soil and loosening the earth. As soon as the zombie smelled the meat, it went berserk and ran forward fiercely. The iron plow stuck into the soil and was pulled forward madly.

Two people and one corpse. That's how it is. The zombie is faster than the cow. At least the cow knows when to be slow and when to be fast.

But zombies don't have brains, so they can only go fast, not slow. As a result, this small piece of land was cultivated in less than ten minutes.

"The efficiency is top-notch!" Shen Ci looked at the zombies with admiration. She had come up with this method after seeing Chen Dalong and his group using zombies to pull a cart through the surveillance video that day.

Since there are too many zombies, why not use them as energy?

"Mom, you're amazing!"

We have so much land!

Da Bao dropped the meat and clapped. The zombie's hands were tied, but its mouth was stuffed with something, so it couldn't bite anyone. If the zombie couldn't bite, what attack power did it have left?

Shen Ci looked at the new energy source and said, "Da Bao, get the scissors!"
