Chapter 263 Retirement Life
The cottages behind the dead woods are very exquisite and most of them are well preserved.
On the narrow streets, there are a few scattered zombies who are particularly shy. When they see people, their first reaction is to hide in the house.
Luo Yunjin planned to find a place with higher terrain and build a small residential area directly using existing materials.
With the previous failure experience and the heavy rain, we must plan our living place carefully this time, and site selection is a big problem.
The terrain is flat and you can get out directly.
There are many existing houses in this area, but it is too flat. The dead woods next to it look wrong and are obviously not suitable for building houses.
When building on a mountain, we must always be on guard against mudslides and floods.
"We can build a stone mountain ourselves, transfer the land to plant trees. There is not much water here, so it is quite suitable. It is also convenient to see the surrounding situation from the top of the stone mountain." Xuan Hongyan suggested.
There are a total of seventeen people with special abilities here, each with different abilities, so they can definitely build a small system.
"So where would be a better place to build the mountain? I think we could emulate the central base. They built their base in the air, with energy stations and factories below. We could build our own small residential area. We don't need energy stations and factories, just something suitable for living." Duan Ya touched his chin. "Haicheng is close to the ocean, and the rain shows no signs of stopping. We'd better stay away from the sea. The water level will rise and the rockery will be submerged."
Luo Yunjin nodded in agreement.
However, she had read the original book and knew that although this heavy rain would last for a year, it would not flood all the land.
Build a stone mountain on higher ground with a solid foundation. Even if the ocean spreads over, a small island will gradually form.
Anyway, flying cars can travel in the air, which is quite convenient.
"Then let's build it on the left side of these houses. The stone mountain is two hundred meters high. What do you think?" Luo Yunjin pointed to the ravine on the left side of the exotic cottage.
"Yes, we have earth-type mutants, sand-type mutants and strength-type mutants here. There are stones around, so it should be no problem to fill it up to build a stone mountain by ourselves. Earth-type mutants above level six have the ability to transform soil into boulders, and gold-type mutants can metalize the stones, which is safer." Cheng Yuanfeng said calmly.
"But living on a metal mountain all year round is not good for your health. It will form a magnetic field and radiation. It's better to build a stone mountain instead of metal." Luo Yunjin suggested.
After reaching an agreement, everyone started to work.
The two hundred meter high stone was an extremely difficult task, and with only one earth element psychic, the workload was enormous.
In order to reduce the workload, other people were also responsible for helping to move the stones from other places together, allowing the earth-type and sand-type ability users to directly piece the stones together.
Luo Yunjin also planted vegetation on the ever-increasing foundation.
Most plants will mutate when they encounter gray rain, but the fruit trees she planted with her supernatural powers have certain detoxification effects. Moreover, when the time comes, the Tree of Life will be moved here. With the protection of the light screen, the fruit trees here can grow well.
At the end of the day, the ten-meter-high stone pier was surrounded by green trees and lawns.
The higher you go up the stone mountain, the harder it is to build, mainly because there is a shortage of manpower. They also want to expand the scope of the mountain, so there are many difficulties.
Duan Ya had been spreading yellow sand all day, and his cheeks were yellow and thin.
However, the ability to precisely control the flow of sand also greatly enhanced his ability to control his supernatural powers.
It seems that it will take at least ten days to build a stone mountain and the house on the top of the mountain.
They packed up several nearby houses.
In order to ensure that everyone has enough to eat three meals a day, Luo Yunjin began to cook in different ways.
There are also a lot of cured fish, cured meat and sausages in the space, which are steamed directly as meat dishes.
Seventeen people and two cats need to steam five large pots of rice every day.
Cooking is also a big project.
All auxiliary ability users are involved in logistics, running around and cooking every day.
Therefore, the delicious smell of cooking can be smelled from these houses every day.
It attracted a lot of little zombies who tried to scam people.
These zombies didn't dare to drool at the high-level psychics, so they squatted not far away, sniffing the aroma of food in the air.
Luo Yunjin made a big pot of spicy chicken nuggets and fried chicken today. This was the mutant pheasant that Lin Xicai brought back from hunting.
The mutant pheasants are large in size, and two pheasants are enough to feed seventeen people.
A pungent aroma flowed out of the chimney, and the few people who were still working on the stones quickened their movements.
"I can eat fried chicken today. I smell it, it smells so good." Duan Ya was wearing a raincoat and his mouth was watering.
"The happiest times of the day are eating and sleeping. If I could eat such meals every day, I would be willing to work for the rest of my life." Xiao Wangba adjusted the yellow safety helmet on his head.
"Okay, let's finish it soon and rest soon. You see, the black sea is very deep, the waves are strong, and it doesn't look peaceful. Our mountain must be built more solidly!" Cheng Yuanfeng had been carrying stones. He climbed to the middle of the mountain and pointed to the boundless ocean not far away with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, just let it go." Mo Lian has psychic abilities, and his role here is to boost morale.
A group of people were busy building the mountain, and the stone mountain was getting higher and higher.
On the seventh day, the 200-meter-high mountain was finally completed.
Luo Yunjin would plant crops on the newly built part of the mountain every day, so on the day of completion, the mountain had turned into a large green area.
The mountains are so steep and majestic, and you can't tell at all that they are man-made.
In order to strengthen the foundation, they deliberately expanded the scope, and the entire mountain covers an area of more than 1,000 acres.
It can almost be considered a tourist attraction.
A large area was left on the top of the mountain, and protective walls and railings were built around it.
Lin Xi also specially connected the power grid to prevent mutant animals and zombies from accidentally entering the living area.
It is much easier to build a house on the top of a mountain.
Everyone's special abilities can come into play.
Luo Yunjin continued to beautify the environment, filling the ground with lawns and trees.
She planted a circle of fruit trees on the first floor below the mountain top for easy picking.
The tall trees blocked the rain.
With wood, you can build a tree house.
However, tree houses are easily affected by moisture, so they are built on the top of the mountain mainly for viewing. Several tall tree houses are used to place special instruments, and were directly requisitioned by Qi Chi as his laboratory and small workshop.
They did not plan to build apartments, but each person drew his own design and built a house according to his own preferences.
There was a lot of open space left on the top of the mountain, enough for seventeen people to live in.
Xuan Hongyan built a three-story stone house on the edge of the mountain. The top floor can be used as a watchtower, and the second and third floors are living rooms. She and Mo Lian chose to settle down here.
Xiao Wangba and Xiao Choujue like freedom, and they also choose to live in a tree house.
Luo Yunjin helped a tall and strong apple tree grow. They built a tree house with wood on the trunk and settled directly on the tree. When the apples were ripe, they could pick them at will.
Zhong Lingmei has always been worried about the disappearance of the milk tea shop. She designed a mobile cabin that can make desserts and plans to build a small dessert shop on the top of the mountain.
She was a dessert chef before the end of the world. Now she has fruits and ingredients, so she can make her own desserts. There are few people in the mountains, so being self-sufficient is convenient and leisurely.
Cheng Yuanfeng and Duan Ya wanted to live in a collective, so now everyone has their own home. Plus, the mountain top is quite big, so everyone likes to stay at home when they have nothing to do and is reluctant to visit each other.
So the two of them chose to live together. They built a circular courtyard and placed several rooms in it so that everyone could live there when they visited.
Luo Yunjin designed a two-story glass house with a yard.
The glass was provided by Xiao Wangba as a courtesy. He is a gold-type mutant who can condense special glass.
The glass house is surrounded by glass and has a stone base, which has a good thermal insulation effect. There are two bayberry trees and grape trees planted in the small yard, and you can pick bayberries and make tea with them at any time.
She and Lin Xi live in a glass house.
Pei Chuan lives in a detached villa.
In general, the houses on the top of the mountain have different styles and forms, but they are mixed together in an inexplicable harmony.
This place is far away from the central base and the walkie-talkie cannot detect the signal.
However, Qi Chi is developing an enhanced version of the signal receiving equipment, so there is no rush to transfer the Tree of Life.
In other words, they successfully built a small residential area with a sea view in just ten days.
Standing on the wooden watchtower on the top of the mountain, you can see the black sea in the distance.
Although it may seem a bit trypophobic from a distance, the overall living standards are still very high.
Vegetable gardens and orchards are arranged, so fresh fruits and vegetables can be eaten every day.
Gradually, there were more and more zombies and mutant animals on the mountain.
There are cables at the top of the mountain, so zombies and animals cannot get close. In addition, the mountain is full of high-level psychics, so the surrounding environment is relatively quiet and harmonious. It is very suitable for retirement.
"This bayberry fruit tea is very good, sour and bitter, but with a sweet aftertaste." Xiao Choujue sat on a branch next to the tree house, swinging his feet and sipping tea.
Xiao Wangba was drinking sparkling water made with pine needles and sugar.
It's just sugar water, but with bubbles.
The two of them were relaxed and comfortable, sitting on the branches and daydreaming all day long.
The trees are tall and dense, and they specially built a balcony to block the rain.
The only downside is that the house is very damp and you can't light a fire in the tree house. You can only light a fire carefully in the stove.
Whenever the temperature drops suddenly, the two of them will stay temporarily in Duan Ya's courtyard.
The only problem now is that there are not enough warm clothes and quilts.
Thanks to the crystal core as an alternative energy source, the top of the mountain has achieved full power supply.
In addition, Luo Yunjin had previously collected a lot of electrical appliances in the space, and now they were all put to use. There were only 17 people in the family, so they didn't need too many things.
But there is still a lack of many supplies.
Many of them were brought from nearby abandoned houses, and most of them showed signs of use.
So everyone decided to go to nearby abandoned towns in batches to look for suitable supplies.
Crystal cores are also limited. Every once in a while, we need to go out in batches to collect more crystal cores. On the one hand, they are used for energy supply, and on the other hand, everyone needs to upgrade.
After all, it is still very dangerous to just guard a place without any strength.
Haicheng has a small population and scarce resources. Most of the survivors went to the gathering base of other survivors, so no one knew that a new stone mountain had appeared outside the city.
The green vegetation all over the mountain is enough to make many people jealous.
Today Xuan Hongyan and Mo Lian went out to look for supplies, and everyone else stayed at home doing nothing.
Luo Yunjin was making skewers, and she prepared a lot of bamboo sticks and ingredients.
Start directly in the yard.
Slice and dice fresh vegetables.
Put the small sausages, luncheon meat, and pickled pepper chicken feet on skewers.
The most important thing is the spicy soup base and the dipping sauce.
Use the hot pot base directly, and the dipping sauce can be matched according to each person's preference.
Soon, the fragrance spread out.
Zhong Lingmei brought some freshly made desserts, Xiao Choujue brought some freshly brewed applesauce, and Duan Ya brought a homemade preserved duck...
Soon, the big round table was filled with a sumptuous meal.
This is not the first time we have had a meal together. Every time we come together to eat, we will prepare some food ourselves. This way, we can eat together and chat to relieve boredom.
After all, there are not enough people, not even enough to fill a mahjong table.
None of them know how to play mahjong.
In the boring life, everyone spends every day harvesting vegetables and fruits, cleaning, listening to FM radio, and staring at the sea.
The top of the mountain has been decorated to make it more lively. All the trees are hung with camouflage lights, which will be lit up at night.
The stars are shining.
Luo Yunjin ate a piece of very soft chicken feet, leaned back in the recliner with satisfaction, and held a cup of fruit tea brought by Lin Xi in his right hand.
FM radio was playing in the living room.
It seems that since H City was also swallowed by the black rift, the frequency has become less frequent.
However, Qi Chi is constantly strengthening the signal reception, and their machines can also receive a lot of internal FM broadcasts from the safe zone and base.
What is being broadcast now is the internal FM of Beiming Base.
"Recently, a large amount of stardust of unknown origin has appeared in H City and Ye Dynasty. The mysterious crack in City A has spread to the center of H City. A large number of high-level psychics have fled. Our base will accept some psychics for a limited time. All foreign survivors, please pay attention to the latest notice~"
"The latest news reports say the Central Base has successfully developed an aerial vehicle and has begun the first round of sales. The Beiming Base Trucking Company is selling it. The price is ten eighth-level crystal cores per unit. Interested survivors, please contact us~"
"At 3:08 this morning, a gas leak occurred at Villa No. 5438, Green Tea Street, Green Tea Community, within the base. Two people were killed and one was injured. An investigation revealed that the cause of the leak was a domestic cat that knocked over a gas tank..."
…
After Luo Yunjin finished eating a duck leg, he finally felt full.
She has had a big appetite recently and eats four meals a day.
Sometimes I want to eat sweet and sour fruits when I wake up at night. Fortunately, most varieties of fruits are grown in the space.
But today she suddenly wanted to eat mangosteen.
Unfortunately, there was no such fruit in the space, and she did not have mangosteen seeds.
Everyone noticed that the girl's temper was a little strange today, and she became very clingy.
Luo Yunjin ignored the looks of the people around her. She grabbed Lin Xi's arm with her small hand and pulled it coquettishly, "I want to eat mangosteen."
"Mangosteen? Where can we get mangosteen now? There are no living people within a radius of 200 kilometers." Duan Ya complained. What he said was true. This place was originally a remote location.
"Yes, my surveillance shows that there is a large fruit shed in Haicheng. There should have been many fruit trees planted there before the end of the world, but they should all be withered now. However, we should be able to find seeds." Qi Chi suddenly said.
Ding ding ding, everyone try to support genuine reading~
