The bodies of the zombies and Song Ming's group had not been properly disposed of.
When we lived at home, zombies would rot and decompose naturally after they died, so they usually didn't smell good.
The zombies that Song Ming and his group killed were piled up in an empty villa, and the bodies of Song Ming and his group were also placed in that villa.
The corpse had to be dealt with; this was Ye Yunyi's instinctive realization, given her medical background.
Ye Yunyi asked Xiao Deng and Xiao Qin to organize people to cut firewood on the back mountain, while she and Zhao Yong went to the other side of the mountain to look for the cars that were there, which contained a lot of supplies.
The villa area is temporarily managed by Wang Zixiang. Wang Zixiang, along with Xiao Fang, is working with the elderly man who proposed the collective economy to streamline the management system.
Wang Zixiang is very good at this. Although he has no talent for business, he is adept at management and writing.
Mother Ye and Mother Zhao led a group of women to the back mountain to cut bamboo shoots and gather wild vegetables.
Mr. Ye and Mr. Zhao led a group of people to plan and cultivate the planting area within the community.
Ye's father also arranged for several elderly people to fish by the river.
The amount of food we had counted was far from enough, so we had to keep thinking of ways to feed ourselves.
Two days had passed since they resolved the issues at the villa area. Ye Yunyi and Zhao Yong arrived at the other side of the mountain where they had hidden the car, and the vehicle was still there. They checked the vehicle's condition and the supplies inside, thanking God that everything was still there.
They were relieved to find that there were no zombies wandering around. They saw that besides the weeds, watermelons, pumpkins, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers had grown on their own in the wasteland. No one cared for them, and they competed with the weeds for nutrients, and they actually produced a lot of fruit.
I didn't notice it when I came last time, as it was at night.
Zhao Yong and Ye Yunyi exchanged a glance and happily went to the field to pick fruits and vegetables, not even letting go of wild vegetables.
They didn't care about getting the vehicles dirty; they picked as much as they could.
By the time they had picked all the berries they could, the car was almost full.
The two sat by the roadside to rest, each holding a cucumber, wiping it on their clothes before eating.
"Sister, there's something I need to tell you," Zhao Yong said.
"Okay, go ahead."
"Song Ming's batch of guns, more than 30 in total, I've collected them. Should we distribute them to them?"
"Ultimately, the decision is yours. But here are my suggestions: First, having guns means having strong combat capabilities. I don't want anyone to threaten us, not even those in the villa area. They must be loyal to us. Second, guns and ammunition are hard to find; they are non-renewable resources. If we're going to equip them, I think Xiao Deng is capable right now. Third, I hope you can build a team that is completely loyal to us. You can choose some; they can become a team fully equipped with pistols."
"Okay, sis, I understand."
“I am very grateful that you brought my sister back, and I am especially glad that you came back. Everything I did was to protect our family and to make them live in peace and happiness. You, Auntie, Uncle, and Xixi are also my family.”
"Yes, sis. Me too."
"Okay, let's go, let's go back."
"good."
Ye Yunyi was truly relieved that Zhao Yong had returned; with him there, she felt at ease about the safety of the villa area.
On the way back to the neighborhood, Ye Yunyi also observed that there were no people in the shopping mall where she had rescued Zhao Yong and the others, and there were not many zombies around.
The place where she and her mother had previously picked vegetables and fruits had large areas of sweet potatoes, which were ripe at the time, and there were also fruits faintly visible inside the greenhouse.
Once we get back, we need to organize people to come and collect it as soon as possible. This is the suburbs; if it were the city, by now, six months later, any supplies would probably have been looted.
Back in the neighborhood, dinner was already served. It was mostly porridge with some stir-fried wild vegetables and bamboo shoots. But there were fish today; the old men there are usually avid anglers, and they caught several. Despite the limited ingredients, Liu Guoqing still managed to cook a delicious meal.
More than 100 people were queuing up for food. Ye Yunyi and Ye Yong drove back to Building 37 and cooked their own meals. There wasn't enough food there to begin with, and she didn't want to use her own food to make up for it, nor could she consume the food there.
Upon seeing Ye Yunyi and Zhao Yong return home, Ye's mother and Zhao's mother invited everyone to eat.
Xiao Deng was also there. Ever since Xiao Deng helped Ye's mother last time, Ye's mother had treated Xiao Deng like her own child, often inviting him over for meals.
Tonight we have stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, wild mushroom soup, green beans and potatoes, mixed grain rice, and pumpkin soup. We also made corn pancakes.
It wasn't a lavish meal, but it was delicious. Everyone enjoyed it. After Zhao Xixi arrived, Wang Xuanxuan had company, and with Ye Yunjuan guiding their studies, their lives became much happier.
The wild rabbits we caught before have also given birth, this time with 6 offspring. The two little guys have an extra job now: taking care of the wild rabbits.
Ye Yunyi plans to use these six rabbits for breeding. They will all be adults in four months, and then they can breed many wild rabbits. At that time, everyone will have meat to eat.
After the meal, Ye Yunyi convened a meeting with the key personnel.
Everyone reported on their progress.
Xiao Deng and his team brought back several hundred kilograms of firewood today, and they can cremate the body tonight.
Ye's father has already planned the planting areas for various plants in the park, including vegetable areas, rice areas, and other staple food areas. He has also led a group to start turning the soil, but currently lacks seeds and hoes.
Wang Zixiang and Xiao Fang have completed the basic personnel information survey and drafted the initial management regulations today. Currently, there are 189 people in total, including property management staff. There are 68 households, with the largest population being Ye Yunyi's family. About 10 households have only one resident remaining due to the two previous disturbances. Among them, there are 20 elderly people over 60 years old, 5 over 70 years old, 18 children, and 146 people remaining. These can be deployed for security.
Grandpa Xiao mentioned team management, and I think that's a great idea. It's like how our old neighborhood had building leaders. This kind of management, which breaks down the whole into smaller units, makes it less likely for things to go wrong.
Liu Qingguo reported that food was scarce. There were too many of them, and even if they cooked porridge, wild vegetables, and occasionally some fish, it wouldn't last long; they could barely sustain themselves for a week. Today they went to the back mountain and picked some wild vegetables, fruits, and bamboo shoots, but they were still lacking in staple foods and oil.
After listening to the report, Ye Yunyi said, "You all did a great job. You were diligent in your work and also identified problems. It would be even better if you could come up with solutions in the future."
I will now answer and discuss the questions you raised. Xiaofang, please take notes.
1. The body should be cremated and buried tonight. Xiao Deng will be in charge. It is recommended not to cremate and bury it in the villa's yard, as the yard is too small and prone to fire.
2. Regarding the seed issue, there aren't many staple foods that can be planted this season. Let's see if any families already have vegetables planted and if they have any seedlings that can be transplanted. Dad, you can also take a look at the seedlings that our family can provide. Also, Zhao Yong and I picked some tomatoes and peppers today and came back to see if we can grow seedlings from them.
