Qiao An'an thought about it again and realized that it made sense.
To grow rice, you need to create a paddy field and transplant the seedlings. It seems that when the rice is almost ripe, you also need to add water. Not to mention Zhou Fang, even she doesn't understand it.
In addition, rice seed companies deliberately limit the seeds to one season in order to encourage farmers to buy seeds every year, making them unsuitable for planting.
This is a big problem; she should take the opportunity to raise it with the relevant departments in the capital.
So they let Zhou Fang and the others crush the rice into rice and cook it.
Rice cooked directly by pounding tastes different from polished rice bought from the supermarket.
After boiling, it not only smells amazing, but it also has a super chewy texture.
It's absolutely delicious with spicy fish.
After eating canned and self-heating foods for so long, everyone was stuffed.
After finishing the meal, Qiao An'an prepared to say goodbye to Zhou Fang and the others: "As long as you turn over the remaining land and plant the corn, you will have corn to eat in a few months. During this time, you can go to the mountains to dig wild taro, mushrooms, hunt pheasants and rabbits. If you really have nothing to eat, you can release water to catch fish in the artificial lake."
Zhou Fang asked in confusion, "From what you're saying, you're leaving?"
They're definitely going to leave.
Qiao An'an nodded: "We plan to leave tomorrow morning."
Although Zhou Fang and his group only spent a day or two with Qiao An'an and her group, Qiao An'an and her group helped them clear out the zombies in the school so that they could teach them how to farm and hunt. Zhou Fang and his group felt that Qiao An'an and her group had a lot of life experience and that if they could stay, they could definitely help them.
So he said to them, "It's still several hundred kilometers from here to the capital. Not only is the road unsafe, but the place we get to might not be any better than where we are. Why don't you stay and come with us? We guarantee you'll have everything we have!"
In the next day or two.
Qiao An'an and the others could see that although Zhou Fang and his group had some minor flaws, they still retained basic humanity.
They also knew that Zhou Fang and the others genuinely wanted to keep them.
But they couldn't stay: "We still can't stay."
Zhou Fang didn't understand. Aren't they all going to the safe zone? Isn't it safe here? "Why?"
Naturally, no one dared to reveal the fact that the person had been infected with the antigen.
Qiao An'an thought for a moment and replied, "We have relatives in the capital, and we are going to the capital to find them."
Zhou Fang said with a hint of disappointment, "I see..."
Many of the survivors were college students from this school. When the zombie virus broke out, they were trapped on campus and unable to go home. Later, cell phone communication was cut off. In recent days, the only communication device they could use to contact the outside world was an old radio they found in a teacher's office. They didn't even know if their families were alive or dead. When they heard Qiao An'an talk about their relatives, they felt heavy-hearted: "After so long, are our relatives still alive?"
As the saying goes, evil deeds can last for a thousand years.
Thinking of her father, Chi Ming, who abandoned the Nan Qiao family and drove away for his own selfish gain.
Chi Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, definitely."
Zhou Fang and the others couldn't understand why the girl was so clenched her teeth when she mentioned her family: "Do you want your family to live, or not?"
When Qiao An'an saw Chi Xiaoyu's expression, she guessed that she was thinking of her father.
To prevent being exposed.
Qiao An'an pulled Chi Xiaoyu behind her, blocking Zhou Fang and the others' view, and then explained, "Of course we want our loved ones to be alive, but we've been through so much along the way, and it feels like the hope is slim..."
Zhou Fang dared to say, "Since disappointment is unlikely, then..."
He wanted to say, "Then stay."
But Qiao An'an interrupted her directly: "Even if the hope is slim, we have to try. Otherwise, even if we survive in the apocalypse, we won't have peace of mind."
These words resonated deeply with these college students.
Although they have survived the past year, they have never stopped missing their loved ones far away.
Their abilities don't allow them to leave the school and travel across several provinces to go home to find their parents and relatives, but Qiao An'an can.
These college students genuinely hoped that Qiao An'an and her friends could find their relatives. They even shared some of their meager food reserves with them, saying, "We have some canned food here; take it and eat it on the road."
Qiao An'an and the others knew that these people didn't actually have much food.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have wanted to attack J City.
Qiao An'an and the others got into the car directly, declining Zhou Fang and the others' offer: "You can keep it for yourselves, we probably have enough food."
Zhou Fang and the others simply stuffed the food into the car: "If we really have no more food, we can still go up the mountain. You might encounter all sorts of unexpected situations on the road, so it might not be enough."
After the car drove off.
Li Jianguo couldn't help but ask, "Do they really think we're going to find our relatives?"
Grandpa Yan, who was engrossed in studying the map, replied, "Judging from the looks in the children's eyes, they must have believed it."
Li Jianguo glanced at the various canned foods that Zhou Fang and the others had thrown in, sighed, and said, "Wouldn't we be considered taking advantage of the children's sympathy to get food?"
Grandpa Yan turned his head and looked at Li Jianguo seriously: "You helped them kill zombies, lent them a car to go out and find seeds, and taught them how to hunt in the mountains. You made sure they would never go hungry again. All they did was try to give us a few cans of food. Why are you sighing like this?"
Ye Jing: "This is nothing like you, Uncle Li. Could it be that you've been possessed by Brother Shen?"
Li Jianguo turned around and gave Ye Jing a hard knock on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yan Ling pulled out a cross from his chest and gestured at Li Jianguo, saying, "Evil spirit, retreat! Retreat, retreat, retreat!!!"
Grandpa Yan: "This is a Chinese ghost, shouldn't we use a peach wood sword?"
Yan Ling: "We don't have a peach wood sword, so we'll just have to make do with this cross for now!"
The group teased Li Jianguo as they drove.
Before long, we drove out of Y City and onto a deserted country road.
In the fields beside the road, weeds that are taller than a person have already grown.
The sight evoked a flood of emotions in everyone present. If this were before the apocalypse, it should have been filled with rows and rows of corn.
Fortunately, there were only a few zombies wandering aimlessly in the abandoned fields along the way. The zombies would chase after their car, but they would only chase for a short while before being abandoned by them.
They only went around three intersections before reaching the capital city.
They are currently located in the suburbs of the capital.
The number of zombies has increased significantly compared to before.
This is not surprising, given the large number of locals and migrants in the capital.
After the apocalypse, there are naturally more people who have become zombies than elsewhere. In addition, the capital city has not been completely destroyed and there are still living people inside. The presence of these living people will attract zombies from the surrounding area. As a result, there are naturally more zombies here.
But this is only the outer ring of the capital. It's a long way to the second ring road that hasn't been captured. With so many zombies on the road, it's impossible for them, along with a van with the window tinted, to reach a safe area safely.
