Chapter 338 It’s time to talk about marriage
Xiao Yun and his friends cured their own bacon, and the salt they used was extracted from a dry well in the forest.
Everyone who lives here raises corn in their own yards. Their daily staple food is corn rice or corn paste, and the side dish is these pickled bacon. You just need to cut two slices and steam them in a steamer, and you can eat a bowl of throat-stirring corn paste with a piece of bacon.
Due to soil problems, the corn production here is very small, but it is enough to feed more than 30 people.
It is much safer than staying in the Nan Ya Safe Zone. They have previously invited homeless people exiled from the Nan Ya Safe Zone to live here, but they would rather be Wang Xi's running dogs in exchange for meager supplies than live in the depths of the Deadwood Forest.
Later, we learned that those people were carrying a virus with extremely strong radioactivity. They did not want to bring the virus to others, so they wandered around.
The wooden houses here are all built by themselves. There are ice cubes in the house for cooling, but it can be a little damp.
Xiao Yun invited them into the house to talk. During this time, people kept bringing in various homemade snacks, such as green grass cakes and tree bark sweet potato flour.
Because of the addition of special seasonings, apart from the unpleasant taste, it is very suitable for a snack.
"Sorry, we don't have anything good to offer you here." Xiao Yun opened a bottle of Coke that had been there for who knows how long and poured three cups.
"No, you're already fine."
They had been to other bases or safe zones before, but no one had ever thought of hosting them.
Obviously, the things they took out were things they would not use easily in normal times, and they were full of sincerity.
"I do feel that the safe zone is lifeless, like it's neurotic. They all have blank eyes."
Xiao Yun said calmly, "I think they've seen too many deaths and lives, and have become numb. Every day they only care about getting the necessary supplies, and they live one day at a time, like the living dead."
"Actually, when we first started forming the safe zone, everyone was very enthusiastic. But ever since Wang Xi became the leader, everyone in the safe zone has been forced to work harder for less in exchange for supplies. Some people in the safe zone were even taken away for secret experiments. When they came out, they either went crazy or were expelled like us."
"Over time, their mentality changed. They no longer trusted anyone, and everyone became numb, surviving like zombies, without any resources and no one sympathizing with them. They became Wang Xi's puppets. Wang Xi needed the survivors to support him, and he enjoyed the feeling of being the king of the entire safe zone."
Luo Yunjin nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."
"The milk fruit tree is indeed real, but in order to speed up the growth of the fruit tree, Wang Xi exploited the planting-type mutants and even used crystal cores to promote plant growth. Those improved milk fruits must use the special maintenance solution in the laboratory to make them grow." Xiao Yun frowned.
"So those bases took the milk fruit saplings in exchange, but they couldn't keep them alive. But the Nanya Safe Zone was able to monopolize the resources and use them to exchange for supplies. Even though Wang Xi had made a lot of money, he still didn't use the resources for the construction of the safe zone."
Xiao Yun became more and more angry as he spoke, and his face turned red.
"So you got ripped off."
"Thank you for telling me this. They say there's a mutant milk fruit in the safe zone that can produce yogurt. Is that true?"
"Really? But there's only one fruit tree, and it also requires ten seventh-level planting-type psychics in the safe zone to provide energy every day. Wang Xi sends the yogurt fruit to auction, and each time he can exchange it for a large amount of zombie crystal cores."
Xiao Yun took out a hand-drawn card from the drawer behind the desk. "This is the card I drew. After I left the lab, I kept remembering that experience, so I drew it."
The card diagram is drawn intermittently, but the overall layout of the laboratory can be roughly seen.
Luo Yunjin discovered that this was exactly the same as Luo Yuanting’s previous underground laboratory, even the layout of many equipment was very similar.
This kind of laboratory has devices that can block superpowers.
"Are you unable to use your powers after entering the laboratory?"
Xiao Yun nodded heavily. "I joined the experiment originally because I wanted to get more supplies. And there was a chance to transform into a water-type mutant. We are all short of water. If I could become a water-type mutant, at least my life would be safe, so I agreed."
Many people probably have the same idea as Xiao Yun, so this experiment can continue.
It seems that the experiment was successful.
"Yogurt fruit, I want to see what it looks like. I have tried this milk fruit seedling. There is no strange smell on it. Although the vitality is a little thin, it is still pure. It should be able to grow fruit." Luo Yunjin asked the tabby cat boy to move the potted plant out.
The tabby boy hummed as he moved the flower pot into the house.
The milk fruit tree seedlings have lush branches and leaves, the veins of the green leaves are clear, and small pink flower buds have already begun to grow.
"You can actually support him?" Xiao Yun was very shocked.
"There's nothing wrong with this sapling, but I'm a little worried when I heard you say they used crystal cores to plant fruit trees."
"I've seen milk fruit tree seedlings, but the ones in the lab don't seem to be growing as well as yours. Dewdrops are hanging on them. Even with special maintenance fluid, milk fruit trees can't achieve such a good effect."
She suddenly became more curious about Luo Yunjin.
The ice in the room melted quickly, and Xiao Yun would refrozen the ice every once in a while.
"Just be careful, don't worry too much."
Luo Yunjin also wanted to see what secret was behind the safe zone and whether it was related to his missing cheap brother.
"It's getting dark. Why don't you stay and park here? This forest is very quiet and there will be no mutant animals to disturb us." Xiao Yun said friendly.
The tabby boy squatted at the door and played with the tabby cat. Maybe it knew that the cat was of the same kind, so the cat rubbed the boy's wrist and looked lazy.
He took out a bag of dried fish. As soon as he opened the package, the cat opened its slightly squinting eyes and looked at the package with anticipation.
The tabby boy picked up a small dried fish and started chewing it, watching the cat chewing.
Cat: ???
He waved a small dried fish in front of the skinny cat, then ate it in one bite, which was quite disgusting.
The cat aimed directly at the package bag in his hand and kicked it away with a bounce.
Dried fish were scattered all over the ground.
The tabby boy lost interest when he saw one of the dried fish fall on a pile of dry chicken droppings at the door.
He let the cat eat the dried fish on the ground and felt very depressed.
I was so angry. I just wanted to show off, but he finished it after just two bites.
After the skinny cat finished eating the dried fish on the ground while wagging its tail, it started to gnaw on the empty bag that contained the dried fish. It was very hungry.
"We still have some chicken soup in the car. It has been in the refrigerator for a long time. You can give it to the kitten. Don't be so stingy." Luo Yunjin had been watching the tabby cat boy's suicidal behavior.
“Ouch.”
After heating the chicken soup in the microwave, it is warm, soft in the mouth and has an excellent taste.
When you open the lid, a rich aroma wafts out.
The tabby boy filled a plastic bowl with chicken soup and placed it in front of the cat.
The skinny cat staggered to the bowl and began to cry with emotion.
The aroma of chicken soup also attracted many children, who were all looking at it eagerly but did not come forward.
The tabby boy used plastic bowls to divide the remaining chicken soup into ten equal portions and gave them to the children and the elderly.
"Thank you for such a precious soup. There must be a lot of seasonings in it?" Xiao Yun didn't expect Luo Yunjin to be so generous.
Pheasants are difficult to catch, and even the best hunters here can only go out and try their luck.
It takes patience to stew soup with chicken bones, and you can smell the scent of ginseng in the chicken soup. Obviously, a lot of seasonings and ingredients are added. It smells very fragrant and very nutritious.
"It's okay. We've kept it in the refrigerator for a long time. It would be a waste if you don't take it out to drink. You're a good cat." Luo Yunjin saw that the tabby cat was very interested in it. Moreover, they were both tabby cats, so it was time for the little tabby to get married.
"Don't look at its skinny appearance. It is actually a mutant cat with strength-related abilities. It helped build many of our wooden houses. It doesn't eat much on a normal day." As soon as Xiao Yun mentioned the cat, his mood became much happier.
The cat seemed to understand what was said. After drinking the soup, it walked over to Xiao Yun, wagging its tail, and hooked her calf with its tail.
"Its children are all mutant cats, but unfortunately the male cat died too early. It's very hard for this cat to raise three kittens." Xiao Yun lowered his head and scratched the cat's chin.
Luo Yunjin felt that the little tabby cat was a good fit to take over the three kittens. He was free anyway, and it seemed that he had a good impression of the female cat. After all, he was a single cat, so it was good enough for him to have a partner. How could he be so picky?
Moreover, she felt that a mature female cat could also control the naughty temperament of the little tabby. This cat also had strength-related abilities, which was much stronger than the little tabby's ability to turn into a pig.
Maybe the little tabby is trying too hard.
Perhaps he sensed Luo Yunjin's intention, the tabby cat boy felt a chill on his back.
"We have a house here where you can stay. You can stay here at night."
Luo Yunjin rejected Xiao Yun's kindness. Although the car was crowded, it had air conditioning and she was a little bit attached to her bed.
The RV was parked outside the wooden house. At night, the surrounding wooden houses were lit with torches or fires. The lights inside the RV were brighter. Before getting on the car, Luo Yunjin gave each child here a single scoop of ice cream.
Everyone is very grateful.
"There is indeed a problem with this Nan Ya Safe Zone. That Wang Xi looks righteous, but it turns out he has had plans all along and is a beast in disguise." Luo Yunjin was leaning on two pillows, playing the game Snake on his phone.
Now that the car has electricity, there is no need to charge it slowly by hand-cranking the charger like before.
Lin Xi lay down beside her very naturally, one arm smoothly passed through the pillow, letting the girl rest her head on it, and then he naturally embraced her in his arms, "There are still more good people than bad people."
Luo Yunjin also felt that this safe zone had become lifeless because of the leader Wang Xi. He didn't know what his intention was in hoarding so many supplies and not making them available to others.
But if he sets his sights on her, she won't let it go.
Such people should be taught a lesson.
In the car, the little tabby cat was sleeping and snoring with its paws tucked in. The little leopard cat was playing with a ball of yarn nearby, and ended up messing up the yarn, with several balls of yarn falling onto the tabby cat.
Soon the two cats were tangled in the yarn and cried awkwardly.
Little Axun was standing aside, he had never been exposed to the sun, so he was fair and tender.
Luo Yunjin was annoyed by the two noisy cats, so she released two vines to wrap them into green cocoons, and also wrapped their pointed beaks with thin vines.
"You are too noisy. You are corrupting the children."
The cat bug was wriggling on the sofa.
A Xun just lay down and used the two cats as pillows.
The tabby cat and the leopard cat didn't move, for fear of hurting the baby.
Although they are naughty, they are very caring towards their cubs.
Most cats may hate taking care of children, but they like little Xun very much.
"We can go into the space..." Lin Xi blew in the girl's ear. He had been holding back for a long time, especially now that the soft and fragrant girl was right next to him.
Luo Yunjin threw the phone to him, "You play, cover the entire screen with snakes, and then we'll go to the space."
Axun was still playing with the two cats and had no desire to sleep at all, which made Luo Yunjin worried.
Lin Xi worked quickly and finished it in ten minutes.
Luo Yunjin released the vines on the cats, letting them take good care of the children, and then entered the space with Lin Xi.
"It's not good for us to do this. It's very irresponsible." Luo Yunjin frowned and took out a box of small umbrellas from the various supplies piled up on the side.
"Those two cats are enough to take care of the child." Lin Xi said as he picked up the girl and walked into the woods.
Four hours later, the two of them walked out of the space slowly. Luo Yunjin went straight to take a shower, not forgetting to glare at the energetic Lin Xi.
Little Axun had fallen asleep. The tabby cat squatted beside him, staring at the child's face without complaint. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two people come out.
Just now, a few old men holding torches approached the window and wanted to give them some roasted chestnuts. The yellow faces were reflected on the glass window, and the little tabby boy was startled.
The leopard cat also arched its back and jumped high.
The tabby cat turned into a teenager and went out to get the chestnut back, not wanting to waste the other person's kindness.
These chestnuts are specially fried with brown sugar and have a very fragrant smell. When placed on the table, the aroma is fragrant.
Unfortunately, cats generally don't eat this stuff.
After taking a shower, Luo Yunjin smelled the aroma of roasted chestnuts and picked one up. There was some brown sugar stuck on the shell.
It smells very good. Although she doesn't like chestnuts, these fried chestnuts are indeed fried very well. They should be delicious when used to make fried chicken with chestnuts.
After Lin Xi finished taking a shower, he drained all the sewage out of the car. Luo Yunjin led the water from the small lake in the space into the water valve, filled the car with water, and turned on the solar power supply on the RV.
The lights on the car dimmed, leaving only two small lights.
Lin Xi carefully carried the child to the bed.
The two cats squatted on the sofa and lay down to sleep.
Luo Yunjin was very tired today and fell asleep in a short while.
After she fell asleep, Lin Xi slowly moved the quilt away, walked out of the RV, and stared at the wooden house not far away.
There were still sparks burning in the fire between several wooden houses. It was late at night and everyone was asleep. All the lights in the houses were off. Lin Xi sat on a stone next to the fire, holding a wooden stick in his hand, picking up the charcoal in the fire.
