Chapter 43 - send "warmth"

After eating and drinking, Wei Xuan took out the bag containing snowflakes, took out one piece and fed it to his own zombies, and he absorbed one piece by the way. However, Du Hang, who had “eaten” the strange snow on the roof during the day, only ate two slices and then closed his mouth to express that he was “full”. While Wei Xuan was using the snowflakes, he thought about the snow accumulated on the roof with a little worry. How long will it take for them to volatilize and condense? I don’t know if the method I figured out is useful? I don’t know how many snowflakes can be collected if it can really condense…

With such apprehension and worry in mind, Wei Xuan waited for four and a half days before he got the result he wanted after taking turns visiting the roof in the wind and sun. At the same time, it also confirmed his guess—this method is really true. Snowflakes can be collected!

Looking at the crystal clear “snowflakes” on the bottom of various pots and jars, they seem to be the snowflakes that I can catch by raising my hand at will on the day when the strange snow falls. But different from natural snowflakes, the volume of these strange snowflakes is roughly the same, and each piece is as big as a little fingernail, which is much larger than natural snowflakes! And their number is much less than the snowflakes collected at the beginning.

But no matter how few they were, their number definitely exceeded Wei Xuan’s expectation!

After seeing those snowflakes melted into snow water, Wei Xuan felt that it would be good enough to collect half of the bottom of a basin after the snow water evaporated, but to his surprise, almost all of them were completely evaporated. The bottom of the water container was completely covered by these strange snows, completely blocking the color of the bottom of the basin!

In a plastic basin with a diameter of about 30 centimeters, the number of snowflakes collected is enough to fit a small bag. He has placed so many basins on so many roofs, one can imagine how much he harvested in this drying!

However, it is precisely because this kind of snow contains so much energy that the zombies can continue to exist, right?

Silently estimated, the next strange snow should fall in November, but if the weather is colder, it is normal for natural snow to fall at that time. Moreover, the weather was cold that time, even if this kind of strange snow was collected, it might be difficult to dry them out. Therefore, it is very likely that Du Hang and the two zombies will have to count on the snowflakes collected this time until the spring of next year.

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan immediately started to collect those snowflakes with great enthusiasm. Some containers are relatively deep, so the water inside has not been completely dried at this time. Wei Xuan first cleaned up the basins where the snowflakes had completely precipitated, collected the snowflakes inside, and then poured out the liquid in those pots and jars that still had water, and divided them into several containers to speed up drying.

This kind of strange snow is very strange. They will only precipitate snowflakes after the surrounding water is completely volatilized. At the same time, there is no trace of half a drop of water in the basin, but it seems that as long as there is water in it, people will never be able to find them. How is it different from normal water.

Climb up and down the buildings in the community, collect the separated snowflakes and pack them, and pour pots and pans with water.

After Wei Xuan finished his busy work, the whole day had already passed.

Although he was very tired, Wei Xuan couldn’t help but smile on his face while holding the full bags that he had collected so hard, as if he didn’t feel tired at all.

“That’s right, even if the three of you eat together, it’s enough to last until next year!” Wei Xuan sighed in satisfaction.

Then he immediately went back to the room where they lived together with Du Hang, put most of the snowflakes in the cabinet in the bedroom, and divided the rest into several parts, put them in a place that was more accessible, and took them with them. With a small bag, Du Hang went downstairs again to visit the “neighbors” in the next building.

When it was snowing two days ago, Wei Xuan seemed to have seen these two zombies from the open window on the top floor of the building. They were standing by the window at that time, waiting for the snowflakes to fall into their mouths like the zombies below. However, because the two of them were in the room, and the snowflakes were basically falling straight down at that time, and there was no wind, they probably didn’t “eat” a few pieces at that time.

But fortunately, there is a whole bag of snowflakes beside the two of them, so Wei Xuan is not afraid of starving them.

At this time, when I came to this room again, I saw that there were at least a quarter of the open snowflakes on the chair beside the two beds, so I felt relieved—it seems that they really have a good life every day. “Have a meal”.

Seeing Wei Xuan and Du Hang walking in, the older zombie seemed to be looking at Du Hang warily, and Du Hang also set his sights on the zombie after entering the room. Wei Xuan is no stranger to this—it seems that since the last conflict, these two guys seem to enter into a state of dislike for each other every time they meet again. They didn’t fight directly because Wei Xuan and Snowflake’s face is on.

Pouring the bag of snowflakes he had just brought into the remaining bag on the small table, Wei Xuan smiled and looked at the two zombies—the older one was standing a little closer to the front, noticing Du Hang while being vigilant. Forget about glancing at the snowflakes that were just added. Behind it, the younger one dangled around the window, and did not join the two zombies staring at each other like a Shura field.

“These are for this time, eat slowly, and I will come to see you in a few days.” Although Wei Xuan brought them back, he did not treat them like other ordinary zombies, but subconsciously treated them They are really neighbors, and they rarely come to “disturb” their lives. Just come over periodically to see what’s going on and see how much their snowflakes have eaten? Check to see if there are any problems in the room.

The zombie didn’t seem to have heard Wei Xuan’s words, and was still looking at Du Hang vigilantly, as if Du Hang would rush over at any time and push his wife out of the window.

Wei Xuan didn’t express any dissatisfaction with the other party’s “impoliteness”. He checked the general situation of the room slightly, confirmed that there was nothing unusual in the room, and after destroying it, he pulled his own zombie and turned away—not taking Du If it is Hang, God knows if these two guys will really fight? At that time, I will never be able to hold them without combat abilities!

How hot will the battle between zombies be? Wei Xuan has hardly seen it, but he can infer some points from the usual battles between zombies and supernatural beings.

Zombies should have no abilities. What they enhance in the last days are basically physical strength and speed abilities, but even if they are in pure T configuration, they can still fight against those with abilities that have the same effect as magicians. Riding a tiger is equivalent. Even, if they encounter some zombies with strong combat experience, those supernatural beings will be caught off guard by their assault even if they go together.

So even if he was curious about the effect of zombies fighting with zombies, he would never let his own zombies try it out for nothing – he couldn’t bear the slightest wound on Du Hang’s body.

Until now, Wei Xuan still remembered the heart-wrenching heartache and anger when he came out of the base and joined Du Hang who was hiding outside and found a bullet wound on his body.

————————

“Did the strange snow affect the field this time?” In the meeting room of the base, a person asked his subordinates in a deep voice.

“Reporting to the chief, the thirteenth team has checked, and the crops in the field are not affected. In addition, they found that although most of the sown crops have mutated, several crops have accelerated their maturation speed! They were planted before. The potatoes have been harvested! And they can be eaten!” The voices of the subordinates were full of excitement, although they evacuated and collected a lot of food in the early days of the end of the world, but once they were eaten, there would be no more of them.

After discovering that after the apocalypse, plants mutate on a large scale, and many crops even die completely and cannot grow, everyone is worried that if all the crops before the apocalypse cannot grow after the apocalypse… then no matter how much human beings can persevere, in the It is absolutely impossible to survive in this world of nothing!

Fortunately, God did not completely give up on human beings, and left them with a glimmer of life.

Sure enough, the chief stood up excitedly after hearing this: “Can it be eaten? Have it been tested?!”

“Yes! This is the test report just sent!” The man hurriedly handed over the report he had just received.

In addition to the description and yield of potatoes, there are several other results of trying to grow crops. Among them, even if the vast majority of crops still have seeds, they have become completely uncultivable now that the end of the world has arrived. Even if they try to urge seeds and germinate at the beginning, they will not be planted in the geography before they are taken out of the nutrient solution. will wither and die immediately.

Of the remaining crops that germinated successfully and were planted in the ground, most of them grew very badly, and some had weird mutations, and it was unclear whether they could be harvested normally. Some even turned into aggressive mutant plants!

Therefore, when the experimental sowing team discovered potatoes, an alternative, healthy, and normally growing crop, their surprise can be imagined.

“…It only takes two months to harvest!” The chief took a deep breath, with a smile on his face, “Let them set aside a few acres of land to plant this. In addition, this thing can also be promoted and planted in the base. Anyone who wants to plant in open space can let them grow it themselves! After all, it may not be safe to put it in the farmland outside.”
