Chapter 35 There Must Be Sacrifices
The spatial environment is like that of a primitive society. Although the scenery is beautiful, it seems to be devoid of human habitation.
Liang Yingsheng was so focused on survival that he had no time to think about anything else. The supplies he collected were piled on the lawn, and even the livestock were left to graze in some random areas.
However, during this period of time, the brother and sister still sorted out a lot of things.
Liang Zhimo had sorted the food-related items into categories and put them into the mobile houses. The three houses he bought at the beginning were already full, and the ones he bought from the second-hand car dealer later were still unused.
Liang Zhimo went to prepare the ingredients for the hot pot, while Liang Yingsheng took a bucket and mop and started cleaning the mobile house.
There wasn't much furniture in the cabin, just a set of desks and chairs and a bookshelf. At the bottom of the bookshelf were two rows of drawers, which contained some auto parts.
Liang Yingsheng took out an empty cardboard box, put all the car parts in it and piled them in the corner of the board room, then called Liang Zhimo to help move the bookshelf.
Most of the supplies piled up on the lawn are home appliances and furniture bought from wholesale malls. Several cabins have been laid out, and the extra ones are placed in the board house. Daily necessities such as toiletries and skin care are sorted out and stacked on the bookshelves, and the storage boxes in each RV are also filled with supplies.
Looking at his own small space, Liang Yingsheng took out a pen and paper and started making plans again.
Garages, chicken coops, duck pens, cattle, sheep and pig pens were all planned out.
Such a big thing just happened in Building 11. The bloodstains on several floors below have not dried yet. Everyone is hiding at home and trembling. No one wants to go out.
Liang Yingsheng decided to pretend, so he said hello to Yan Baoan in advance and locked both doors. At Liang Zhimo's suggestion, he moved the sofa to block the door.
The two decided to stay in the space for a few more days. It was too hot outside. After Yan Baoan moved in, he didn't dare to use any electrical appliances for fear of being exposed.
After eating hot pot, the space turned into night, with clouds, stars, and even the moon.
This place really feels like another world.
The two of them got up early, and looking at the slowly rising sun, Liang Zhimo couldn't help but sigh again.
"Sister, is that simulator so powerful? If this space were bigger, you could be the master of the world."
Liang Yingsheng rolled his eyes. "I'm not interested in being the ruler of the world. Go, chop some bamboo and build a pen for the cattle, sheep, and pigs."
The trees and bamboos in the space showed no signs of regrowth after being cut down. It seemed that after leaving Jiangcheng, firewood and bamboo would have to be cut outside, and the ones in the space would have to be saved as much as possible.
Liang Yingsheng did not plant the saplings and flower seedlings he had stockpiled before. He planted some fruit trees and kept some. He also had a lot of vegetable seeds, but currently only less than one percent of them had been used for planting.
Just these, the vegetables grown are enough to eat for a long time, and the potatoes, sweet potatoes and peanuts can even be recycled.
What if order is restored one day in this terrible apocalypse? Donating a portion of it would be considered a contribution to mankind.
With the help of the electric saw provided by Liang Yingsheng, Liang Zhimo quickly carried back a large pile of bamboo, all of which were cut.
The two of them started working again. After a few hours, the home for the pigs, cows and sheep had begun to take shape.
Liang Yingsheng was so tired that he was sweating, so he hurried back to the wooden house to boil water for a bath.
There are five wooden houses in the space. She and Liang Zhimo each have one, and their parents have one. One of the remaining two rooms is used as a living room, and the other is separated by the two of them to serve as a kitchen and toilet.
Although they had a generator, the two of them didn't know how to build circuits, so they took a bath by boiling water and pouring it into the bathtub.
"Grandpa used to be an electrician, and Dad learned a lot from him. When we get to the meeting, Mom and Dad will do some research. They should be able to build a power generation system for our space."
Liang Yingsheng suggested while wiping his hair.
There is the sun in the space, which proves that solar generators can be used here. Unfortunately, she only stockpiled two. If there is a chance in the future, she will have to stockpile two more as backup.
Zombies are rampant outside, and people with ulterior motives are forming gangs to rob residents of the community of their supplies. Now, everyone has experience and is extremely vigilant, and they will be able to detect any movement.
When the bodies were being cleaned up in Building 11, they were thrown directly out of the windows. It was so noisy that it was impossible not to pay attention.
For a moment, the survivors in other buildings became suspicious.
Some people think that so many people going to Building 11 means there are a lot of supplies there, while others think that there are many cruel people in Building 11, otherwise how could it not have fallen until now.
In short, Liang Yingsheng's building became the focus of all the survivors in the community.
Since the incident, Yan Baoan and his wife have become more vigilant. As a result, they have discovered several times that someone was secretly observing their building. Even people who went out to look for supplies would specifically walk around the door of Building 11.
If it weren't for the zombies, they would have moved the furniture blocking the door and rushed in.
Of course, there will be sacrifices among those who go out to find supplies, and there are quite a few of them.
"Hubby, do you think Shengsheng and his brother are sick again? Why haven't we heard anything from them in the past two days?"
Sister Yan was helping Yuanyuan comb her hair. After two days of getting along, the little girl became much closer to the couple. In addition, she felt the motherly warmth from Sister Yan and became even more dependent on her.
Yan Baoan was packing his suitcase. In the end times, things are prone to change, and he might need to leave early due to some unexpected situation.
Hearing this, he glanced at the two of them, took out a small piece of chocolate and handed it to Yuanyuan. "Shengsheng said her brother is going to concentrate on studying medicine these two days and she doesn't even dare to disturb him. She also decided to have a good sleep for two days. He will definitely be fine."
Mrs. Yan nodded and was about to answer when there was a knock on the door. When she opened the door, she saw that it was the Liang Yingsheng siblings she had been talking about just now.
Seeing Liang Yingsheng, Yuanyuan took the initiative to greet her, ran over, took her hand and went into the house together, "Sister Shengsheng, the lollipop you gave Yuanyuan is so delicious, Yuanyuan has a gift for you too!"
As she spoke, the little girl ran back to her room and brought out a little bunny doll. "Uncle Yan and Aunt Yan said we're moving soon and Yuanyuan has a lot of toys that can't be taken with her. This bunny is for Sister Shengsheng as a gift!"
Liang Yingsheng pinched her soft little face, took the doll and thanked her: "It's very cute. As a return gift, sister will give you some delicious food, okay?"
"But Sister Shengsheng has already delivered it!"
Straightening up, Liang Yingsheng handed the plastic bag in his hand to Yan Baoan.
When he opened it, he saw a few potatoes inside. He was a little surprised. You know, their family hadn't eaten fruits and vegetables for almost a month.
Not to mention vegetables, we rarely eat rice. There is not enough water and the power is out, so we can only dismantle wooden furniture and use it as firewood, and occasionally cook some white rice.
Most people just eat instant noodles or biscuits and bread.
"This is too valuable, we can't accept it!"
"Before the apocalypse, I saw a few potatoes sprouting at home, so I decided to cut some into pieces and plant them in a pot. I didn't expect potatoes to actually grow, so I decided to treat them as a treat for Yuanyuan."
