"You all have the testing bracelets now. Remember to put the vegetable leaves on the bracelet. As soon as the bracelet makes a 'pop' sound, it means the plant is edible."
"Whether it's vegetables, wild greens, or weeds, as long as it makes a 'pop' sound, it means it's non-toxic and edible!"
"Everyone, please test carefully and don't miss any leafy greens!"
Tian Shanchuan gave the eight new residents of Tangjia Village some final words of advice.
For them nowadays, even weeds are considered delicious as long as they are edible.
"Don't worry, Uncle Tian, we know!"
The young man from Tangjia Village nodded earnestly in agreement after hearing Tian Shanchuan's repeated instructions.
Then everyone dispersed into the vegetable garden and began to conduct their own tests.
The beeping sound kept ringing out in the room.
Every now and then there would be a popping sound!
Whenever the "pop" sound is heard, everyone gets extra motivated.
Lin Xue, carrying a large machete, patrolled back and forth along the path.
After a while, they will rush into a rented room and hunt down the zombies inside.
After they finished inspecting the vegetable plots, Lin Xue had already cleaned up the entire row of houses.
The zombie corpses were left in the house; sooner or later, they would rot and turn into skeletons after they died.
Since she wasn't going to stay here anyway, Lin Xue really didn't intend to destroy the evidence.
"Feng Wen, bring someone over here to take inventory of the supplies inside. The rest of you, continue digging for wild vegetables!"
After sweeping the house clean, Lin Xue blocked another entrance and then stood at the exit.
Zombies would occasionally wander over from outside, and Lin Xue would rush up and eliminate them.
Then I watched as everyone busied themselves.
Occasionally, I would glance at the crystal-clear river water.
Now, without human pollution, the river water has become much clearer after several years of circulation.
Although the river water still contained zombie toxins, no fish or shrimp were seen in it.
But at least the river water is clear, which is a joy to look at.
There were no mutated aquatic creatures or zombies in the river; it seemed that nothing could survive in it.
On this blue planet, 99.9% of the animal species were wiped out after the zombie virus outbreak.
Perhaps the zombie virus here doesn't have the ability to mutate; since Lin Xue arrived here, she has never seen any animals turned into zombies.
Perhaps she'll have to go to a remote mountain to see if any animals have survived.
However, looking at the clean river water that reflected one's image, Lin Xue didn't dare to have too much hope.
"Boss, I see a reflection coming from the building across the river!"
Just as Lin Xue was in a daze, Village Chief Tang suddenly came over and told her what he had discovered.
Lin Xue followed Village Chief Tang to the place where he had just been, and saw beams of light shining from the windows of a building across the street toward them.
Judging from the way the light was shining, Lin Xue guessed that someone inside was probably calling for help.
They probably used a reflective object like a mirror to refract the sunlight and attract their attention.
Lin Xue took out a small mirror from her pocket, shone a beam of light on the mirror, and began to communicate with the other party.
Because of the great distance, the sound couldn't travel, but both sides still made sure the other knew they were there.
"I'll go check it out again tomorrow. Let's clean this place up today!"
Lin Xue looked at the vegetable garden, which was already more than halfway through the inspection. More than half the time had passed, and if she rushed over now, it would be dark by then!
She needs labor, and she also needs to hunt zombies to gain merit points.
Even so, Lin Xue did not dare to go out and act recklessly at night.
If she were really surrounded by tens of thousands of zombies, even if she had a spatial dimension, she wouldn't be able to go in and hide.
In such a situation, one's own strength is no match for many, and one cannot even guarantee one's own safety.
Feng Wen and his men had already started loading the looted supplies onto large trucks.
Lin Xue had no choice but to take her large machete and go to the exit to keep watch, in case any zombies suddenly appeared and hurt people.
These are all her hired laborers; she can't let them get killed by zombies.
The survivors on the other side of the river seemed to already know that Lin Xue knew about their presence, so they did not send any more messages.
Anyway, with all that random light shining around, I couldn't say anything.
Whether or not to save her was up to Lin Xue; the other side didn't press the matter further and fell silent.
By the time Feng Wen and his team had loaded all the items into the truck, the plant testing at Tian Shanchuan's location was nearing completion.
Everyone got back into the car, and then the vehicle turned around and returned to the base.
"Preserve these vegetables you brought back carefully, and remember to test them again before eating them!"
Lin Xue gave a few instructions and then began inspecting the pickup truck she often drove out to kill zombies.
This car is really easy to drive; you can put a lot of things in the pocket, and it's quite fast too.
Compared to other cars, this type of vehicle is more durable and reliable, and you don't have to worry about not being able to drive it back.
However, on the way back today, Lin Xue felt that the car seemed to have a minor malfunction.
She needs to thoroughly inspect the car; it's currently her favorite mode of transportation.
It took a long time to get the car completely repaired.
Meanwhile, Village Chief Tang also found Lin Xue and asked her to help keep an eye on their Dongfeng brand truck.
By the time both cars were fully repaired, it was already evening.
As the sun began to set, Lin Xue packed up her tools and went home.
