"Are you crazy? Why would you raise zombies... What's the point of this thing?"
"I've heard of raising chickens and ducks, but this is the first time I've heard of raising zombies..."
Xu Guang hesitated for a moment, then finally forced out, "Zombie flesh can be used as fuel."
"???"
Can this thing be used as fuel? Is it just a direct bipolar reversal?
Zhang Xiaojuan squatted on the ground and rummaged through the still relatively fresh zombie corpses with her hands. The pungent stench immediately made her head spin.
"Bro, are you kidding me? This thing is supposed to be reprocessed? Who could bring themselves to do that?"
Xu Guang gave a wry smile. "Xu Family Village captured a special superhuman. Her superpower is to convert zombie flesh into combustible and usable fuel."
"Xujia Village has no electricity or gas, and it has survived until now thanks to this special fuel."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt nauseous. Looking at the cutting board covered in bits of meat in the corner, they almost vomited up their breakfast from the previous day.
Only Lu Sheng's eyes lit up immediately?
Isn't this a perfect example of making the most of waste resources?
What's most abundant outside right now is zombie meat. If we could bring such a treasure back to the base, we could build a production line to produce fuel. It would be a great business with no upfront costs!
The base's finished products are luxury goods aimed at high-end customers, but she also has to consider the experience of ordinary consumers. So, here comes the fuel that is both high-quality and inexpensive.
The needs of the masses are her goal; who would turn down the crystal core?
The system shop has so many great items, but they all require crystal cores!
"Where is everyone? Are they locked up here too?" Sun Lu stood on tiptoe and peered inside the fence.
Xu Guang bent down and searched through the pile of corpses for a while, finally pulling out a key from one of the bodies. "This man was the night watchman at the meat pit. He was killed by you in the chaos just now."
"The person was locked in the room inside."
He handed the keys to Lu Sheng, his eyes filled with endless sorrow. "Please, take her away."
After saying that, Xu Guang returned the recovery potion he hadn't drunk to Lu Sheng, saying, "Please give this bottle of medicine to her as well."
"And what about you?"
"I...I won't go in."
Seeing Xu Guang's conflicted expression, the others immediately understood that the person inside must be Xiao Xiao, the girlfriend Xu Guang brought back to Xujia Village.
"Since you know she's locked up here, why don't you take her with you and run away?" Sun Tiantian carefully chose her words, trying to ask in a tactful tone.
Xu Guang sat on the ground, looking dejected. "I ran away, but I got caught again. I've been away from the village for too long, so I'm not as familiar with the mountain paths as the villagers are. After I came back, they blinded one of my eyes and locked Xiaoxiao up here, arranging for someone to watch over her every day."
"Then why don't you leave the village and go find Xiaoxiao's family to come back and save her?"
“The villagers said that as soon as I leave Xujia Village, they will immediately throw Xiaoxiao into the meat pit to feed the zombies.”
“If Xiaoxiao refuses to convert zombie flesh for the village, they will kill me.”
Xu Guang spoke softly, but the suffocating sense of despair in his words still plunged everyone present into silence.
The devils of Xujia Village turned two people in love into shackles that imprisoned each other.
Perhaps love itself is a form of mutual imprisonment and torment.
"We're taking Xiaoxiao with us, but what about you?"
Han Rui and Zhang Xiaojuan carried the barely alive Xiaoxiao out of the wooden house.
Because of long-term malnutrition and the torment inflicted by the miners, Xiaoxiao had already fainted when Han Rui and Zhang Xiaojuan entered the room.
Xu Guang stood two meters away, struggling to lift his right leg and then slowly lowering it again. "After you take him away, if she asks, just say I'm dead. She'll forget eventually."
Where are you going?
"I will slowly decay and wither along with this land that gave me birth and nurtured me."
Seeing Xu Guang's resolute attitude, Lu Sheng didn't say anything more.
In the apocalypse, survival depends entirely on one's willpower. This is not Notre Dame Cathedral; it will only offer one path to those who want to live.
After the massacre in Xujia Village, the poor girls who saw the light of day again wanted to join Lu Sheng's base. Lu Sheng gave each of them a UV-protective suit, some emergency food, and a slip of paper with an address written on it.
In any case, as the base expands, more manpower will be needed. After the logistics system is established, tasks such as packing will still require people to do them.
She would certainly welcome these people as long as they could prove their abilities and worth.
After settling everything in, Lu Sheng took out the passenger plane that the system had just rewarded him with from his spatial storage.
"Sister Lu! You're my only sister! We already have airplanes, so how far away is a spaceship!" Zhang Xiaojuan touched the airplane door with shining eyes.
Several people circled the passenger plane several times before Sun Tiantian suddenly asked a profound question, "But... does anyone among us know how to fly a plane?"
Lu Sheng was immediately speechless.
Oh no, I was so happy that I completely forgot about this crucial issue.
"I can."
Just as the group was at a loss, Xu Yi rolled up his shirt cuffs, sat down in the cockpit, and skillfully opened the control panel.
"Teacher Xu...you can even fly a plane?" Zhang Xiaojuan climbed into the co-pilot's seat like a monkey, her face full of admiration.
Xu Yi smiled faintly, "I took the private plane pilot's license test while I was studying in the US."
Zhang Xiaojuan blinked and stared intently at Xu Yi, "Teacher Xu."
"Um?"
"If I were a woman, I would be smitten. Why is there such a perfect man as Teacher Xu in the world?"
Several people lay on the spacious and comfortable seats of the passenger plane, where there was also refreshingly chilled juice in the cabin refrigerator.
Han Rui took a small sip of apple juice. "Even if you're a man, you can still like Teacher Xu. It's not a big problem."
"I'm fine with it, it's Teacher Xu who's having problems." Zhang Xiaojuan suddenly grinned mischievously and leaned closer to Lu Sheng. "Sister Lu, I really want to ask you if you've cultivated some kind of heartless path? Even Teacher Xu isn't moved by you. Did you spring out of a rock?"
Lu Sheng looked up, pressed Zhang Xiaojuan's head and pushed him aside, "If you're free, go back and help Master Han shear sheep."
After saying that, she closed her eyes, feigning sleep to escape the sounds around her.
Once bitten by a snake, twice shy. Whether she was truly afraid or simply unmoved, even she herself didn't know.
With the helicopter, the journey was shortened to just over twenty minutes.
The system even thoughtfully expanded part of the base into a helipad to facilitate Lu Sheng's storage of passenger planes.
As soon as he got off the plane, Lu Sheng received his first order after the logistics system was unlocked.
