The three families agreed to rest for three days to adjust their biological clocks. After three days, they would officially begin their daily routine of searching for supplies and killing zombies to hone their skills at night.
On their first day off, the two forgot all about the end of the world and quietly watched TV shows and movies together, enjoying their time alone.
On the second day of their rest, the two decided to get back to work.
Banxia pulled out a plan from her spatial storage. "The insect infestation is about to begin. Let's block the sewers first!"
The two men mixed cement and used it to completely block all the drains, then used a walkie-talkie to warn the other two households.
Logically speaking, ants, rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and other insects should not easily appear in temperatures of over 50 degrees Celsius. However, while humans are adapting to the environment, other organisms are also adapting to it.
Within a month at most, ants and mosquitoes the size of a fist, cockroaches twenty centimeters long, and red-eyed rats a meter tall will all appear.
They are extremely aggressive towards humans because humans will become one of their prey!
In addition, they also attack animals and plants.
Even if the injured creature manages to escape, it will die from a hot, festering wound.
Banxia then said to Nanxing, "The high-voltage power grid also needs to be installed!"
Setting up a private high-voltage power grid is illegal. Before the apocalypse, the two of them didn't dare to cross the line, but now no one cares, so they can openly and legitimately put it out!
The two men used their tools to install the three-meter-high high-voltage electric fence they had prepared beforehand. They then hung several conspicuous signs on it, such as "High Voltage, Danger, Touching it Will Kill You!!!", before finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Although it still can't keep out flying mosquitoes and cockroaches, it can at least keep out rats, ants, and thieves who try to climb the wall.
Su Yaojia and Cai Yuanjia followed suit. The weather was hot, which was the perfect time for their solar generators to work, and they didn't lack electricity!
In fact, because they installed so many photovoltaic panels, all three companies had surplus electricity.
No one wastes the extras; during periods of extreme cold, depleted batteries, power banks, desk lamps, etc., can be used to recharge them.
At 10 p.m., the two closed the doors and windows, moved the gold and silver out of the space to guard the house, and then took the ingredients to invite the Su Yao family next door to have dinner at Cai Yuan's house across the street.
Cai Yuan and his companion had been wanting to thank Banxia, Su Yao, and the others for helping them move. They had been busy for a while, so they took advantage of their break to invite the three of them to dinner.
Cai Yuan and Zhao Xuan welcomed Banxia and the others into the house, their faces showing helplessness: "Didn't we agree to treat you to dinner? Why did you bring gifts?"
Nanxing shoved the basket full of vegetables into Zhao Xuan's hands: "We grew these ourselves, they'll get too old if we don't eat them."
Su Yao shoved the basket full of fruit into Cai Yuan's hands: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away and you'll live to be ninety-nine."
Cai Yuan and Zhao Xuan exchanged a glance, knowing that their friends didn't want to eat and drink for free, and felt both helpless and soft-hearted.
This kind of friendship is truly priceless!
Cai Yuan and Zhao Xuan had already prepared most of the ingredients, leaving Banxia and the others in the living room to enjoy the air conditioning and watch TV.
But none of Banxia and the others wanted to, so they all squeezed into the kitchen to help.
Banxia put the lettuce and peppers into a basin to wash them. Fang Yunyun, who was washing potatoes next to her, curiously came over and said, "Banxia, how do you grow your vegetables? They're so green! The leaves of my vegetables are almost all yellow. It's really worrying."
During the coldest period, the two families tried growing vegetables in the Sunshine Garden. They didn't expect the vegetables to grow very well, but at least they could eat fresh vegetables every day.
But recently, as the weather has gotten hotter, her vegetables, despite being watered several times a day, are still wilting and drooping.
Banxia thought it was all due to her superpowers, but said aloud, "I put air conditioning and ice in the greenhouse to cool it down."
Fang Yunyun nodded: "Then I'll put an air conditioner there when I get back."
As for ice, forget about it. There are three people in their family, and they use up ice quickly, so they don't dare to waste it.
Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "If you have extra vegetables, may I exchange some?"
The only fresh vegetables left in their home are potatoes, onions, radishes, winter melons, and pumpkins—vegetables that are easy to preserve. And the quantities are small, only a few dozen kilograms of each, which will last for a few months.
There are absolutely no fresh leafy vegetables left in stock; the last time we ate them was a month ago.
Canned and dried vegetables that can last a long time are the last resort and will not be used unless absolutely necessary, since who knows when the apocalypse will end?
Banxia and Fang Yunyun both nodded in agreement. Their family's contribution was enough for Zhao Xuan and Cai Yuan to have a meal every few days. Besides, it wasn't a free gift; it was an exchange of supplies, so why not?
Banxia also suggested, "Next time we go out to find supplies, let's keep an eye out for flower pots. If that doesn't work, let's find some plastic pots or buckets. You and Xuan can plant some easy-to-grow vegetables like scallions, garlic sprouts, peppers, and chives in them, and we can harvest them every few days."
Fang Yunyun smiled and said, "This is a good method. I have extra seeds and potting soil at home. I'll bring you some tomorrow."
Zhao Xuan said gratefully, "Thank you! A Yuan and I don't know how to grow vegetables, so we'll definitely have to ask you for help." He was quite embarrassed, "We're sorry to trouble you."
Banxia didn't care at all: "Nanxing and I bought a lot of books on planting before, I'll get you a few tomorrow."
Speaking of which, all the men in their team can cook, and they are very skilled at it, making dishes that are delicious and visually appealing.
The girls, on the other hand, had very average cooking skills. They could cook the food, but it was far from delicious.
After helping to wash the vegetables, Banxia, Fang Yunyun, and Su Xiao, the three girls, were sent to the living room to eat snacks and rest, while the four men were in the kitchen tossing and scrambling the woks.
