Qiao Xuejun has never been a procrastinating person and will do what he wants to do immediately.
She looked at the time. It was 6:30 in the afternoon and the sun had not yet completely set. She went out after dinner, as the sun had just set and it was not so hot at that time.
Qiao Xuejun walked to the warehouse and took out a few packages of meat floss bread from the food storage shelf. These were also packed from Qiao Yaozu's warehouse. Unlike dehydrated vegetables, the shelf life of these breads and snacks was only more than half a year. During the time in the underground shelter, Qiao Xuejun's kitchen had never been cooked, and all he ate were these foods with a short shelf life.
When she was buying daily necessities at the supermarket, she also bought 400 kilograms of rice for 1,000 yuan, which she kept sealed. It was also because she had used up all her money on diesel, otherwise she would have wanted to stock up more. But 400 kilograms was enough for her to eat for four or five years.
Although the shelf life of rice is only one year, as long as it is well sealed, it can still be eaten for a few years without becoming moldy or spoiling. The only problem is that stale rice tastes bad.
The bread was too dry.
Qiao Xuejun took a bottle of water and drank it in small sips while eating bread.
She was also very frugal when drinking water. She stocked up on water in large bottles and bags, as the bags had a particularly long shelf life. It was still the early days of the apocalypse, and water was being supplied normally, but in the later stages when order collapsed and no one was at the water plant, there was no way to get water.
Although this field automatically conserves water and there is no need to worry about water use for the time being, the water can only be retained until this batch of potatoes is ripe, and there will be no way to preserve the next batch of potatoes.
We still have to find a way to get water in.
After finishing three loaves of bread, Qiao Xuejun looked at the time. It was already 7 o'clock. The sun had set outside and it was getting a little cooler. It would not be good to stay up any later because if it got completely dark, you might run into someone with mad cow disease.
Qiao Xuejun took the backpack she bought at an outdoor sports store, which contained some outdoor equipment such as life ropes, walking sticks, daggers and flashlights. Qiao Xuejun also bought a windbreaker and hiking shoes, but it was too hot to wear these clothes in this weather. After hesitating for a while, she gave up and only wore the shoes.
Before leaving, Qiao Xuejun took the steel balls and slingshot.
After shooting a steel ball at the target to test the feel, Qiao Xuejun picked up the steel ball that fell on the ground and confirmed with the system: "Is there anyone outside now?"
System: "No, the host can go out. No one will find you."
Qiao Xuejun boldly walked out of the underground shelter and headed out of the house.
The weather was still very hot. Although the sun had already set, the temperature had just begun to drop. Qiao Xuejun looked at the portable thermometer in her hand and the temperature was 39 degrees.
It's ok, the highest temperature during the day can reach 52 degrees.
Now the sky was gradually getting dark, and the distance was hazy. The hot air rising from the ground also distorted the road on the other side and it was not clear.
Qiao Xuejun moved quickly and headed straight to the back mountain in the west after leaving the house. According to the information just loaded by the system, there are wetlands and streams over there. Mugwort usually grows beside rivers or wetlands. You can go and look for it.
The CDC’s initiative was just issued an hour ago, so there must still be a lot of mugwort on the mountain now. By the time everyone realizes what’s happening, it will probably be difficult to find.
The vitality of plants is unexpectedly strong.
At the foot of the mountain, Qiao Xuejun looked at the still dark green mountain and couldn't help but sigh.
But when Qiao Xuejun actually went up the mountain, she found that the situation in the mountain was much more serious than what she had seen at the foot of the mountain.
The dandelions next to it, which should have been in full bloom, had only opened buds. They had not yet produced small white umbrellas before they withered and died. They were sunburned and yellowed, and they broke when I pinched them with my fingers. The same was true of the celery next to it.
Walking forward on the mountain road, the soil under her feet fell down like sand, without any moisture. Qiao Xuejun squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. It was slightly hot in her hands. After rubbing it, it turned into yellow dust. She blew it and it dispersed. She pursed her lips. If the extremely high temperature ended and heavy rain and floods came, such a mountain would easily cause mudslides or landslides.
If there really is a mudslide, her underground shelter will have to be moved because it is not safe underground.
Qiao Xuejun felt a little heavy when she thought of this. However, the most important thing now was to find mugwort.
Qiao Xuejun used his walking stick to push aside the dead weeds and continued walking up.
While walking on the mountain road, Qiao Xuejun also saw frogs that had died in the middle of the road. They were dried into dried frogs and only their skins were left. Occasionally, there were some shriveled corpses of birds or insects.
There was a special fishy smell of animal fur in the air, but it was not too smelly.
It can be seen that they did not even go through the process of decay and simply dried up.
Qiao Xuejun has been hiding in a cool underground shelter these days. She knows that the end of the world has come, but her life has not been seriously affected. But now it is different. She has just reached the mountain and faced what the end of the world is. It is a real disaster and the extinction of life.
Following the system's map, Qiao Xuejun walked towards the wetland on the other side of the mountain.
I hope the wetlands haven’t been dried up yet, but mugwort is a perennial plant, so as long as it has grown in previous years, there is no need to worry even if it has dried up.
Qiao Xuejun was moving very fast and was getting closer and closer to the location shown on the map.
"You're such a hassle, dilly-dallying on doing a physical job."
Qiao Xuejun was walking forward when she heard a loud roar from the front, a man's voice.
Qiao Xuejun stopped immediately. She was hiding among several big trees.
The sound came from the corner ahead. It was loud and clear.
Who is this person? Is he also here to pick mugwort? So fast?
