"Drip, pop, pop, pop, pop..."
The three of them were engrossed in their tests. Although many plants were contaminated, they could almost always produce a clear "beep" sound every twenty or thirty times.
This also brought hope to the three members of the Tian family, who realized that there really are edible plants in this world.
After working there for more than half an hour, Lin Xue led them back.
This time I carried two buckets, but I only found a shallow layer of wild vegetables.
"It seems that among these wild vegetables, dandelion is the most commonly consumed!"
Tian Shanchuan looked at the few handfuls of wild vegetables in the bucket. Apart from two shepherd's purse stalks, almost all the others were dandelions.
"Dandelion has the effect of clearing heat and reducing fire, and it is also a kind of Chinese medicine!"
Tian Mimi was very happy. Although these wild vegetables didn't taste very good, for people like them who hadn't eaten leafy greens for a long time, even the bitter ones were delicious.
On her way back, Lin Xue discovered that zombies were starting to reappear on the street that had just been cleared.
Moreover, these zombies clearly came from somewhere else.
Looks like I'll have to take some time to clean it all up again.
"We ordinary people are truly happy today..."
Tian Shanchuan brought the cleaned wild vegetables to the kitchen and happily started cooking dinner.
Lin Xue thought about it and realized that after eating noodles and biscuits for several days, she really couldn't take it anymore.
So she took out a bag of rice from her spatial storage. The rice packaging had no words on it; it was specially made by Lin Xue when she was in the modern world.
"Grandpa Tian, please steam some rice for me!"
"Steam as much as possible, so that everyone can have a big bowl!"
She put the bag of rice in the kitchen and then took two sausages, each as thick as her fist, and placed them on the cutting board.
"Stir-fry these two. We'll be doing physical labor these next few days, and we can't work if we're not well-fed!"
Tian Shanchuan looked at the things Lin Xue had left behind, his eyes filled with doubt.
However, he quickly shook his head, banishing all those inappropriate thoughts from his mind.
We've already reached the end of the world, who cares about anything else?
Eat while you can, and when there's nothing left, just die!
Don't ask what you shouldn't know, and suppress any thoughts you shouldn't have. As long as the family of three is still alive, that's more important than anything else.
That evening, the four of them enjoyed a delicious dinner; they hadn't felt so full in a long time.
After finishing their meal, no one chatted idly; instead, they went to rest early and started working as soon as it was light the next day.
That day, Tian Youcai stayed at home while Tian Shanchuan took Lin Xue to find a place with bricks.
It's in the house at the second intersection ahead of them.
There was a broken wall inside, and some cement bricks were scattered on the ground.
After confirming the location, Lin Xue cleared away the surrounding zombies, and the three members of the Tian family began working, pushing a small cart.
All they can think about now is finishing their work so they can go with Lin Xue to find wild vegetables.
Lin Xue helped push the cart twice, then took the machete and began to patrol the surrounding area.
I don't know what's wrong with us today, but there seem to be a lot of zombies running over from a distance.
To ensure everyone's safety, she had to keep patrolling the area.
In this way, the Tian family of three can work with peace of mind.
Even after all the intact cement bricks were cleared out and taken back, it still wasn't enough to seal off both sides of the street.
"Boss, how about we seal off one side first?"
"A huge billboard has fallen down on the other side of the street. Let's use that billboard to temporarily block the intersection!"
"We'll reinforce it once we get enough materials!"
Tian Shanchuan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had been working hard for the past few days, and although he was a little tired, he felt refreshed.
It seemed that the more work he did, the better his health became.
Apart from Tian Shanchuan, the others felt the same way.
This is also why Lin Xue is in the mood to bring them out every day.
Where is the billboard you mentioned?
Lin Xue spends most of her time wandering around the vicinity of their house, and hasn't gone to the other side of the street in the last two days.
When I first moved here, I thoroughly checked the surrounding area. However, the area was relatively remote, and there were many obstacles on the streets, so there were relatively few zombies wandering around.
That's why Lin Xue didn't care much about that side.
Hearing Tian Shanchuan's words at this moment, I also felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea to use a billboard to block it.
"It was right at the street corner. There used to be a huge advertising billboard there, but it was probably blown down by the rain a few days ago!"
Although Tian Shanchuan didn't dare to act alone, he still secretly went over there to take a look.
After ensuring their own safety, they walked several hundred meters outside.
Then, I immediately took a liking to that huge billboard.
"Then let's get that billboard back tomorrow and seal off the exit at one end first!"
Lin Xue thought for a moment, and decided that since the area was going to be sealed off anyway, she might as well seal it off first, no matter which side it was on.
"OK!"
"Hey boss, are we going out to dig for wild vegetables again today?"
Seeing that he had finished all his work for the day, Tian Shanchuan was eager to go out and dig for wild vegetables.
Lin Xue never expected that in this post-apocalyptic world, even digging for wild vegetables would become a luxury.
However, everyone has been working very hard these past few days, and she doesn't intend to spoil the mood.
I just wanted to see some green plants to relax.
So they waved for someone to bring them a bucket, and the four of them took a shortcut to the open space.
Today we changed our approach, and with everyone's experience, we focused on collecting dandelions for testing.
When they see plump and tender shepherd's purse, they will also do some testing.
After all, shepherd's purse tastes much better than dandelion.
"Little Xue, there are several zombies coming this way!"
Tian Mimi had just finished inspecting a round of wild vegetables when she looked up and saw several zombies sauntering towards them in the distance.
Although the zombies were heading in their direction for some unknown reason, it was clear that they hadn't yet spotted the group.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have such a carefree attitude; the zombies here run incredibly fast.
Like a mad dog, once it sets its sights on a prey, it will fight to the death.
"You guys continue the investigation, I'll go take care of those zombies!"
Lin Xue threw the bok choy she had just detected into the bucket, then grabbed her machete and rushed forward.
At first, the zombies were somewhat scattered, but after smelling Lin Xue's scent, they all began to convulse wildly and writhe madly in place.
Upon hearing Lin Xue's footsteps, they charged at her like wild dogs.
Lin Xue kicked one zombie away and then slashed another to death.
He took two steps to the side to create some distance, then picked up his machete and charged forward again.
They were just a few ordinary zombies, and they were quickly dealt with!
