That night, I put together several round tables downstairs, put on the flying fish coat cloak that was drying by the campfire, used the backpack as a pillow, and slept on it. The autumn wind was cold, so I deliberately let her get closer to the campfire. She closed her eyes quietly, and fell asleep soon after.

I stayed up for the first half of the night and was actually very sleepy, but the octagonal table was too small for me, so I could only find a chair, lie on the table, rest my arms on Yunwen, and slowly fall asleep. Although I was still thinking about the mysterious thing in the underground river, I could no longer resist the fatigue and fell asleep in a trance.

In my dream at night, I vaguely saw the beautiful fox fairy again. She was sobbing quietly in a secret place in the forest with her back to me. I wanted to go forward to find her, but I could not reach her after all. When I was about to wake up from sleep, I heard her voice again, which seemed to be near and far away, and it seemed a little more ethereal and dull than before.

"Zhou Lang, you must not go to the West Camp. Remember! Remember!"

The voice was vague and empty, and then I woke up with a start. It was already daybreak, and I was wearing a Feiyu cloak. Yunwen had woken up early and was flipping through the book "Xuanpin Lingfu..." (the last few words were bitten off) that I brought back from the tunnel. Bailu was stewing the female ghost claw flowers I brought back, and Yingchun had just finished washing up. When she saw me wake up, she immediately showed a mocking expression.

"Wake up, lazy pig. Next time you sleep in, I'll give you a few beatings." Yingchun said, holding a grudge.

I yawned, glanced at our remaining food, and thought about returning to normal life.

I went to the backyard, chewed some willow branches, rinsed my mouth, and used my hands to scoop water to wash my face. After washing, I went back to the house and asked Bailu to prepare breakfast. Yunwen also put down the book and went to help. I was a little surprised that the book was basically incoherent and it was even difficult to see the connection between the words. How did Yunwen continue to read it? It was amazing.

After Bailu and Yingchun were beaten with a stick last night, the two sisters had difficulty walking. Yunwen went over to help, and the speed of making breakfast was also improved.

Breakfast was a simple steamed bun with wild vegetables. After eating, they waited near the table for me to arrange the next tasks.

"Recently, we haven't had enough food. In the coming days, we have to spend more time storing winter food and try our best to survive the winter crisis better than last year. This year our conditions are much better. We have big houses and cellars, and many animal skins to keep us warm, so the food problem has been basically solved, and we can survive the winter well. Therefore, our recent activities and tasks are all centered around food." I said.

"Yes, but if we plant wheat now, we still have to wait until May next year to harvest it. What should we do in the meantime?" Bai Lu asked.

"That's what I will arrange for you next. Bailu and Yingchun, you have difficulty walking, so after stewing the medicine and drinking the soup, you should try to squeeze out more linseed oil. Yingchun, can you please help me get a bigger fire and earth basin, which can be used for heating the room when winter comes. In addition, the window frames in the rooms on the second floor are damaged, so please ask Yingchun to see if they can be repaired. Yunwen will be responsible for digging up all the fields and preparing to plant a new round of wheat. I will go out today to collect some wild vegetables and fruits to ensure the food supply in the near future." I said.

The girls nodded and went their separate ways.

Afterwards, Bailu and Yingchun continued to stew the medicine together, while Yunwen took the engineer shovel and obediently went out to dig wild vegetables. She had the most things to do, so I specifically told her, "Take your time. Rest when you are tired. If you haven't finished it, I will do it when you come back in the evening."

"That won't work. You've done so much, how can I leave it for you? I'll be happy if I can help you get some of it." Yunwen said with a smile.

"Okay, then don't get tired," I said.

"Thank you for your concern, sir! I'm not tired." Yunwen joked to me playfully, and she seemed to be in a good mood indeed.

I smiled, then went in, picked up my backpack, held the Golden Sword, and prepared to go find some food. At this time, Bai Lu limped over and said to me, "Brother Zhou Bo, I remember there seem to be a lot of canned food in the office in the underground factory. If you have time, you can take it and solve the urgent problem. If not, forget it."

"How many more?" I asked.

"Probably two or three boxes, all packed in boxes. I'm not sure how many there are. There was a monster nearby that day, so I didn't dare stay for long." Bai Lu said.

Generally speaking, canned food boxes usually contain twelve to twenty-four cans. If there are two or three boxes, the quantity must be quite large. However, the way up the mountain is remote, and I can't carry too much at a time in my backpack, so it is really time-consuming and laborious to get it. But at this time, Yunwen seemed to have anticipated my concerns and shouted, "Take Sanfu with you. It can help you carry things and can also carry you back. It will be much more convenient. It hasn't been out recently, so it's a good time to take it for a walk."

There will be no problem if this is the case.

They had made two linen bags before, so I took them and put them into the backpack together with the rope. Then I took Sanfu out. Unconsciously, Sanfu had grown a lot taller. Before, I remembered that he was not even as tall as my waist, but now he reached my navel when he stood up straight, and his expression and brows had become more stable.

But when we just went out, it still didn't like me very much. Seeing this, Yunwen came over to comfort it and said a few words in its ear, something like "Brother is taking you to play" or something like that. I don't know if it worked, but after stroking it, it became much more docile. Yunwen also told me to be nice to it.

After I went out, I looked around and saw wild deer, leopards and the like moving around. I thought the wolves should not be there, otherwise the wild deer are much more alert than us humans and would have fled long ago.

I got on the horse's back and tried to control it. I had ridden a big horse in the countryside when I was a child, so I knew a little bit about it. However, this horse had no training and I didn't know if it would be obedient. I supported myself on the saddle and got on the horse's back. I put my left foot first and then my right foot, and then put my feet into the stirrups. I held the reins with both hands, pressing one end with my thumb and the other end with my ring finger and little finger, thus holding the rope.

Try to relax and strengthen your abdomen, keep your body straight, and keep the reins as straight and slanted as possible. When moving forward, lightly tap or squeeze the sides of the horse's belly with your calves, and it will move forward. The harder you tap, the faster it will run, and the lighter you tap, the slower it will run. When turning left, do not loosen the reins with both hands and draw circles with your left hand. The same goes for turning right. When pausing, pull the reins down as much as possible and shout "whoa, whoa".

So after making sure it was safe outside, I rode my horse up the isolated peak behind the post station. Passing through the spider territory, I saw that the spiders that had been brutally slaughtered had turned into some kind of dried black, smelly substance. I continued to climb the mountain. When I reached the top, I pulled the reins to stop the horse, picked the last remaining wild fruits of the year, and collected wild mushrooms, all of which were put into my backpack.

Then we rode the horses along the mountain road to the water pool area. When we passed the mud house we had built earlier, we saw that it was already in ruins. It had been smashed by the guard gorillas before. If we had not evacuated the post station in time, we would have died a hundred times.

Then I followed the slope on the left side near the pool and saw an iron fence. Going further, I could see the main power switch and the underground entrance. I stopped the horse again and tied it outside. I glanced at the crashed helicopter not far away. Fortunately, it was still the same as before, which meant there were no other monsters.

Then I turned on the power and went down to the underground factory. It was still so secluded here, so quiet and cold that it made me feel creepy. This time I avoided Martin's office and went to another one.

That is the place where Bai Lu found the black dumpling vaccine last time.

This office is a little bigger and is separated into two rooms by glass. After entering, you have to push open the glass door to see the office. There are indeed quite a few cans inside, just as Bai Lu said, but what attracts me more than the cans at this moment are the photos that fell on the ground.

After taking a few photos, they all look like people after death!
