Chapter 272: Farming is not as good as killing zombies
Hairtail can be braised, and scallops can be added to eggs to make soup. Each dish is mouth-watering.
She was busy in the kitchen, sweating profusely. After dark, Jin Mohan also came back from the fields.
It was Jin Mohan's first time to work in the fields, and he got covered in mud. He looked a little funny, but it was still difficult to conceal his one-of-a-kind elegance and nobility.
Jiang Zixuan turned around and saw him, holding back her smile and asked, "How is it? Farm work is not easy, right?"
Jin Mohan nodded exhaustedly, "I now find that doing farm work is not as good as killing zombies."
Even facing a hundred high-level zombies at the same time, it would definitely be easier than growing crops.
Jiang Zixuan said with satisfaction, "It seems that you finally understand how hard I work. So don't be idle in the future. Come into the space and help when you are free."
Jin Mohan: "..."
Jiang Zixuan turned around and continued cooking, saying casually, "The sewer is a little clogged. Don't take a shower yet, go clear the sewer. Also, the light in the bathroom on the first floor is flickering. I don't know if it's a bad connection or the bulb is broken. Please take care of it."
Jin Mohan was about to speak but stopped talking. Jiang Zixuan rushed over and ordered before he could, "The screws on the water pump in the front yard have rusted and fallen off. Go to the second floor to get the toolbox and find a screw to replace it."
Jin Mohan was about to say something when Jiang Zixuan interrupted him earnestly.
"You are already a grown-up. If you see a problem, just solve it yourself. Don't wait for my instructions. Otherwise, you will complain about me talking too much."
"...I got it. I'll go. I'll go now." Jin Mohan stared at the sky and sighed helplessly.
Thinking that Jiang Zixuan had done all these things herself in the past, he felt distressed but could only resign himself to his fate and get on with his work.
After he left, Jiang Zixuan chuckled as if her evil plan had succeeded.
Sure enough, it was an extremely happy thing to see Jin Mohan, who was always calm and arrogant, suffer a setback.
At the same time, Jin Mohan was thinking seriously while clearing the sewer. Should he do it in the garden or on the grass tonight? Or he could try something more difficult...
In short, it will definitely feel better under the open air starry sky.
The next day, Jiang Zixuan left the space with swollen eyes.
In response to Zhou Xiaolai's kind care, she smiled and said that she was just bitten by a mosquito at night, while in her heart she greeted Jin Mohan's ancestors.
Of course Mr. Jin didn't explain anything. He just thought his wife's swollen eyes were extremely beautiful.
Hearing the news, more and more people came to the Unified Base to exchange for water. Jiang Zixuan spent the whole morning releasing water from the water tower and only had a little time to rest in the afternoon.
Later, Qiu Liren came to pick up Jiang Zixuan to go to Shan Zijun's house.
Zhou Xiaolai has a good relationship with Shan Zijun, so he went along to take a look.
The unified base is very large, and Shan Zijun lives far away from the central area, so it takes half an hour to drive there.
On the way, Jiang Zixuan asked, "Brother, are you busy?"
She hasn't met Qiu Liren since she came to the unified base.
Qiu Liren said, "I have some things to take care of, so I have a little free time today."
"Trouble?"
"It's unclear right now. We don't know the full situation yet. But there is movement in a certain direction, and we need to pay special attention."
Qiu Liren has returned to work in the armed forces. Although Qiu Ming wants him to rest for a while, he doesn't want to allow himself to become decadent.
Just like Jiang Zixuan said, Dan Changcheng definitely doesn't want him to live like a walking corpse.
He wanted to make his life more valuable, and while he was alive, he would also be filial to Shan Changcheng and take care of his family.
Zhou Xiaolai was eating a popsicle, still sweating profusely in the car, "Does your unified base usually get attacked?"
"You mean zombies?" Qiu Liren answered, "There are a lot of zombies and zombie beasts, but the edge of the base is guarded by the army. If there is a serious situation, the people in the base will hide in the underground shelter."
Once upon a time, humans naively believed that zombies could be eliminated by thermal weapons. As long as the source of the virus was controlled, the zombies would soon disappear from the earth.
The top leaders of the major bases did exactly that. They used bait to drive the zombies to the same area and then blew them up with missiles.
This method did kill a lot of zombies, but surprisingly, more zombies that were not directly bombed continued to mutate under high radiation, evolving directly from ordinary zombies to high-level zombies.
There are not only zombies, but also more and more mutated zombie beasts, and the trend is growing, making it difficult to guard against them.
The top leaders of the base did not dare to tell ordinary people about the news that thermal weapons caused the evolution of zombies, otherwise it would definitely trigger a new round of unrest.
Jiang Zixuan has some understanding of this.
She accidentally heard Jin Mohan talking about this with Zhao Yi. They both understood that zombies were becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. They had to plunder more corpse crystals as quickly as possible and speed up the development of superpower vaccines to enhance the overall combat strength of the base.
The same is true at the Unified Base. There are special troops responsible for going out to search for corpse crystals, and individuals are encouraged to form teams to go out and hunt zombies.
Citizens can choose to use the captured corpse crystals themselves, or they can use them to exchange for additional supplies from the base, such as more food and vegetables, or scarce daily necessities or weapons.
The same practice is also practiced at the Leia base. After people finish working at their respective posts, they are allowed to leave the base to hunt zombies.
Only by continuously using corpse crystals to enhance their superpowers can humans have the courage to face the cruel future.
This topic made the three people in the car feel bad. No one spoke along the way and they went straight to the Shan family on the edge of the area.
Originally there were dozens of people in the Shan family, but as time went by, there were not many people left, only about ten in total.
When Jiang Zixuan and the other two went there, they happened to see Shan Zijun's mother, Aunt Shan, working in the fields.
Zhou Xiaolai was the first to shout. Aunt Shan turned around, greeted Qiu Liren when she saw him, and then looked at Zhou Xiaolai and Jiang Zixuan with a puzzled look.
She was old and her eyesight was blurry, so it took her a while to recognize Jiang Zixuan and the other person. Then she smiled happily, threw the plastic bucket in her hand, and ran towards them.
When she was at Fenglei Base, she and Jiang Zixuan got along well and she usually took good care of the two girls.
At that time, her husband was a psychic at the Fenglei Base and was treated very well. Occasionally, when she got some meat, she would resist the urge to eat and share it with Jiang Zixuan and Zhou Xiaolai.
Although it was not a huge favor, Jiang Zixuan and the other girl kept it in their hearts.
The two sides met again after a long separation and chatted excitedly for a long time, asking about each other's situation.
The sun was shining brightly. Aunt Shan saw that Jiang Zixuan's forehead was covered with sweat. She finally reacted and slapped her thigh and said, "Look at how stupid I am. I didn't even tell you to go inside and sit down. Come on, come on, hurry inside!"
As she spoke, she took Jiang Zixuan and Zhou Xiaolai's hands, one on each side, and walked into the house. She turned back and shouted to Qiu Liren, "Xiaoqiu, come in too. Don't stand outside like an idiot."
Qiu Liren responded and took in the food and daily necessities he had brought.
The Shan family lives in a very ordinary wooden house, which is of the same architectural style as most houses in this area.
When I entered the room, it was a mess, but very clean. It was just too hot and there wasn't even a fan.
In the entire base, I'm afraid only people in the administrative building and the military building can use electric fans.
