Not long after they lay down, DouDou ran up to them and licked their faces one by one.
DouDou, Wang Xuanxuan was very happy and hugged DouDou tightly. DouDou calmed down and stayed obediently in Wang Xuanxuan's arms.
Back in Building 37, Ye's mother was harvesting the honeysuckle that Ye Yunyi had brought back yesterday, and planting herbs and wild vegetables.
When she saw them return with a full load of stuff, her face lit up with a smile.
"Old woman, here, I'm handing it all over to you." Ye's father placed the basket in the living room.
"Grandma, I have lots of things too." Wang Xuanxuan showed the contents of her cloth bag to her mother, Ye.
"That's really good," Ye's mother praised sincerely.
Then Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang also put down their bags and baskets.
Wang Zixiang and Ye's father's baskets were filled with water, bamboo shoots, fruit, and some Chinese herbal medicines. Ye Yunyi and Wang Xuanxuan's bags contained fungi, Chinese herbal medicines, and wild grasses.
First, Mrs. Ye brought out several large bottles of water, which were her most prized possessions. Seeing Mrs. Ye's expression, Mr. Ye laughed and said, "Old woman, we'll give you a constant supply of water in a couple of days."
"What have you found this time?" Ye's mother asked curiously.
"It's a secret," Ye's father said.
Ye Yunyi, watching your parents interact fills you with happiness. You see, as long as you have enough to eat and wear and no pressure, everyone will love each other.
I don't need to be extremely wealthy, I don't need to live a life of luxury, and I don't need a lot of money.
As the saying goes, "If there are no worries on your mind, then every day is a good day."
"Grandma, Grandma, let me tell you something." Wang Xuanxuan followed Ye's mother into the kitchen, helping her mother pick vegetables while vividly recounting her experiences in the back mountain that day.
Mother Ye chuckled from time to time as she listened.
Ye's father was tending to his bamboo in the yard, preparing to make some bamboo arrows and other household items.
Wang Zixiang and Ye Yunyi sorted the items they had brought back, and took those that needed washing to the pond to clean.
Mom made stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork tonight; I really wanted to eat these fresh bamboo shoots. She also made some wild vegetables and reheated the leftover pheasant innards from yesterday. The rice was potato rice.
It's simply stir-frying potatoes in a little oil until fragrant, then steaming them with rice over low heat. It tastes amazing, and one person can easily eat two big bowls of it.
Knowing that their rice would soon be ripe, Ye's mother wasn't so stingy with rice anymore. Overall, Ye Yunyi's family had relatively good food and were even happier than before the apocalypse.
Everyone was quite tired today, so they went to rest early. The corn near Building 38 is almost ready for harvest, making it easier for someone to break through the wall and bring grain over. Ye's parents set up a room there, and tonight they took DouDou there.
The next day, everyone gathered together to discuss the matter of the back mountain.
Indeed, I have a lot of things piled up on my hands lately. In another half month, I will harvest corn, and after that, I will plant wheat. The sweet potatoes are ready to eat now, but they will generally be ready in June or July.
But the most important thing now is to enclose the back mountain and solve the problems of water supply, tunnels, and safe houses.
We still need to go out and find non-renewable resources such as paper towels, oil, toothpaste, and toothbrushes at home.
They hadn't left the house and didn't know what was happening outside. If they were to go out to find supplies, the sooner the better, because by the time they arrived, everything would have been gone.
But looking at the villa area, things were relatively better; everyone was managing to survive, relying on their small courtyards for self-sufficiency. The neighboring residential area, with its thousands of residents, was almost completely overrun, and it was far from the shopping area, so those searching for supplies hadn't come here, and they were still able to hold on.
But they still had to go out eventually. After they fenced off the back mountain, she and Wang Zixiang had to go out for a while, and the arrangement of the safe house in the back mountain was left to Ye's parents.
Back to the topic of enclosing the back mountain, they plan to start from their building and cut off the outer small road, then enclose the area including the stone steps leading up the mountain, starting a little past building 38.
So even if zombies or people attack from the small paths directly opposite the back gate, the back mountain is still considered safe.
But how can they block that side? They don't have much material left at home, not enough to support such a large project.
Also, if the back mountain is fenced off, should we still dig a tunnel to the back mountain? If so, where should we dig it from?
And the most important issue is solving the water source problem: how do they bring the water from underground or above?
How to avoid alerting zombies and neighbors during construction?
Aunt Li next door is still alive, although she spends most of her time lying down. She knows a fair share of what they're doing, if not everything. Thinking of Aunt Li, one can't help but mention Li Biao, whose fate is unknown.
However, we still have to solve them one by one.
These topics were all laid out in the open for everyone to discuss.
The final result is
1. Starting from their building, cut off the small road surrounding it. Then, starting from building 38, enclose the area including the stone steps leading up the mountain. Use iron gates as initial materials, and reinforce them later. Electric grids can be connected to both their side and the side near building 38, using iron gates as materials. Iron gates can be obtained from empty houses in the villa area.
2. The tunnel needs to be dug, starting from Building 38 and coming out of the bamboo forest. While they were digging for bamboo and cutting bamboo, they happened to see a relatively hidden slope, which was a suitable exit for the tunnel.
3. The water source is brought into the house through underground channels, ensuring that the water source is hidden, clean, and safe.
4. The zombies must be cleared, but not completely. The zombies in the wasteland can be ignored for the time being, since they can't come up here.
5. The power supply should be used to ensure the grid connection. If solar panels can be obtained in the community, one should be installed in building 38.
Once the plan was in place, everyone began to implement it.
Before implementation, Wang Zixiang retrieved the previous surveillance footage. He could view all the surveillance cameras installed when the local area network was set up. By connecting to the surveillance system installed by the property management, he could view the entire villa area.
He and Ye Yunyi checked the surveillance footage, starting from their own neighborhood and moving outwards, examining each house one by one. Finally, they found a villa in the second ring of villas closest to theirs—a villa that Li Biao had vandalized. It was completely abandoned. The villa had solar panels on its roof, and besides the main gate, it had many other stainless steel fixtures. The security level was actually quite high. Li Biao was really something else; he actually managed to break in.
After choosing this building, Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang roughly made a plan: the two of them, along with Ye's father, would go there. This time, they had to drive. Firstly, sneaking over would be a long and dangerous journey. Secondly, once they obtained the item, they wouldn't be able to retrieve it; they couldn't just burrow through holes wherever they wanted to go, like rats.
