"I didn't expect this billboard to be so big; I hadn't even noticed it before!"
Early the next morning, Lin Xue went to the place Tian Shanchuan had mentioned and found the fallen billboard.
This billboard was originally meant to be hung on a high-rise building.
I didn't expect it to be of such good quality; it didn't break much even after falling from such a height.
Lin Xue flicked it with her hand.
It was discovered that it was made of steel plate, and the steel plate was quite thick...
Thank goodness this is the apocalypse, otherwise I really can't imagine falling down like that!
However, if this blocks an intersection, there's almost no need to use bricks.
However, the steel plate was very heavy, and they couldn't lift it with their combined strength.
Lin Xue asked Tian Youcai and the others to go back and bring over a few small carts.
Then, using the lever principle, the steel plate was placed on the cart.
She and Tian Mimi held onto the advertising sign one after the other, while Tian Youcai and his son Tian Shanchuan pushed a cart in the middle.
Although the process was thrilling, they managed to get the steel plate to the intersection in the end.
"Uncle Tian, go to my house and bring the generator that's on the balcony over!"
"Remember to bring the welding machine and electric drill with you!"
When Lin Xue got up this morning, she put the small generator on the balcony.
This was the perfect time for the Tian family to go back and retrieve it!
"Okay!"
After hearing Lin Xue's instructions, Tian Youcai quickly ran back home and brought over everything he needed.
Then the group removed the steel plates, effectively blocking the intersection.
Tian Youcai took the electric drill and started drilling holes in the wall.
Tian Shanchuan held onto the steel plate for fixation.
The crackling sound attracted the zombies wandering around.
Lin Xue could only tell them to be careful, and she picked up her large machete and began to clear out the zombies that had been attracted by the noise.
Tian Mimi also picked up the welding machine and helped her grandfather and father with the work.
Don't let her quiet and gentle appearance fool you; she's a very efficient worker.
After working for about two or three hours, the group finally managed to secure the huge billboard to the exit.
However, they sealed it off from the outside, so now the only way to get back is by taking a detour.
"You guys, push this cart and come with me!"
Lin Xue had already figured out the route while fighting the zombies, and now that they had finished their work here, she decided to take them back.
The group walked to the row of houses where they used to live.
Then walk along the road in front of the house to another main road.
"If we seal off the main gates of the houses in front and open a small door at the back, we can take both rows of houses!"
Tian Mimi looked at her former home and familiar buildings. Although the house here wasn't very nice, it was much worse than the row of mansions behind it.
This was their home, where they had lived their whole lives, and losing it like this was truly heartbreaking.
"Sweetness has come up with a good idea!"
"Once we resolve the safety hazards in the back area, we'll start working on this one."
"If the place is bigger, we'll have more room to move around!"
"We'll clear away the weeds from these flower beds outside and then plant some seeds!"
"While not everything that grows here is edible, it's definitely better than wild things!"
Upon hearing about farming, Tian Shanchuan became interested.
He quickly spoke, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, the topic would be diverted.
"Boss, that's a great idea! If we can really grow some vegetables, we won't have to struggle to dig for wild vegetables anymore!"
He'll keep a close eye on it then, making sure the zombie blood doesn't contaminate the vegetables he grows.
Shouldn't that allow us to grow more edible plants?
"Also, I think the water tanks in these houses in front can be cleaned up and reused!"
Now that the conversation has reached this point, everyone's thinking has broadened.
"Now that you mention it, Sweetie, we could start by cleaning out the water tanks of the neighboring villas!"
"It only rains once every month or two, and the little water we have stored at home is simply not enough!"
Tian Youcai was considering practical issues.
One exit is now blocked, while the other exit has gathered all the materials and is just waiting to start construction.
"After we block off both sides of the road, we'll start cleaning up the house next door!"
Lin Xue nodded, and after chatting like this, everyone felt hopeful about the future.
Unlike before, when I didn't know which day I would die and felt somewhat dazed and confused.
At least that testing watch gave the Tian family some other hope.
Starting in the afternoon, Lin Xue and her family began piling up cement bricks at the intersection in front of their house.
They found these cement bricks in several nearby houses.
Now, in the entire area, there are no other usable bricks to be found except in their area.
Although there were only 4 people, they mixed cement and sand.
With division of labor and cooperation, a wall as tall as a person was quickly built.
However, it was already evening, and it was time for everyone to go dig for wild vegetables.
After everyone locked the door, Lin Xue led them to another place where there were wild vegetables.
These places were all found by 629 for Lin Xue. Although it cannot leave the system space, the area it can scan is quite large.
If a horde of zombies were to arrive, Lin Xue would definitely be the first to know.
Since they found that there were too few edible wild vegetables in one place, she decided to take everyone to another place to check it out today.
