Leading a few zombie boys to move the materials for making dumplings into the home, Wei Xuan took some frozen mutton from the freezer downstairs and took them back.
Flour doesn’t need anything else after all, as long as it doesn’t change color or smell, God knows if it’s gone bad?
Wei Xuan only dared to make it and eat it now because of his zombie physique, otherwise, if it was put before the long sleep, he would not think about this issue at all, and would definitely change the recipe.
There was no effort to knead the dough, Wei Xuan only mixed a little batter with flour, spread it on the pan and fried it until cooked, the smell of the flour being baked instantly came from the heated pan, Wei Xuan sniffed it, and felt that there seemed to be no peculiar smell , Turn it over and wait, then pick up the dough piece and bring it to your mouth for a bite.
“Well, it’s tasteless, and there’s almost no noodle fragrance, but it should be fine, right?” After chewing and swallowing, Wei Xuan stuffed the rest into his mouth. In fact, he hasn’t eaten staple food for a long time. Since there are fresh and large quantities of mutton and chicken at home, he certainly won’t eat those grains that have obviously expired for a long time and God knows whether they have been put out.
It’s just that after eating it now, sure enough, people still feel satisfied by eating some starchy food…
Feeling a bit in his heart, Wei Xuan didn’t continue to toss. He put the mutton in the bedroom with an electric heater to warm it up and defrost, but he packed up and turned and went downstairs.
The zombie boys who just helped him move things turned around and left consciously after moving the things to the third floor. At this time, there were still a few zombie boys wandering around in the community. Thumping in the thick snow to seek job opportunities.
Looking at the number of them, Wei Xuan felt that it was a bit small, so he called out loudly: “Twenty of them come out and help me move things!” A few zombie boys jumped out of the opening of the building, and then even the zombie boys jumped out of the window…
Eyelid twitching, Wei Xuan looked at this group of younger brothers rushing over to help move things, Wei Xuan only felt that if he lived with such a group of people in the future, God knows what would happen to him? But it’s a done deal, and he’s not the type to throw it away, so he can only endure it.
Taking a group of zombie boys upstairs and downstairs for a few laps, he picked up a lot of ingredients that he no longer needed or could eat, and he would definitely not eat again in the future.
There are expired canned meat, expired canned fruit, expired puffed food, expired biscuits and so on. There are so many, it is definitely not something that 20 or 30 zombie boys can carry away.
Looking up at the sky again, Wei Xuan turned his head to look at his zombie brothers, seeing them all excitedly waiting for his deployment, Wei Xuan felt that it would be better to settle this matter at once.
“Thirty more come out! Those who want to go out with them, arrange the order yourself!” As soon as the words fell, another 30 zombie boys came running over there.
In fact, when Wei Xuan just summoned the little brother, they were arranged in order, starting from the first pick after going out with Wei Xuan.
Fifty were summoned by Wei Xuan, plus the seven or eight who were wandering on the road in the community, Wei Xuan estimated the pile of things on the ground, and felt that the number should be about the same, so he ordered the younger brothers to put spare backpacks and bags from the usual time. One by one, each person carried their backpacks and bags, and then began to stuff the bags on their bodies.
Not long after, all the zombies’ backpacks were filled to the brim, and they all carried their things in their hands. However, there was still a pile of things piled up on the ground, which obviously couldn’t fit in anymore.
Wei Xuan was about to summon a dozen more younger brothers to bring things, but he stopped immediately because of something, and turned to look at Du Hang: “Can you find out where there are living people in the city?”
As far as Wei Xuan knows, the only place where there are living people is the one in the high-rise community. The rest, the places where he found people in the early days of the end of the world, should be deserted now, and the rest of the places have not been to for a long time. He can’t be sure now. If all these things were piled up near the high-rise residential area, then there might be a lot of things. If there were other living people in the city, he could ask the younger brothers to disperse the things.
And if the distribution of living people is relatively scattered, it is not troublesome to come back to pick up things again.
Du Hang nodded after hearing the words, and raised his finger to point in certain directions: “There, there, there…”
Wei Xuan’s eyes lit up: “Are you sure there are living people in those places?” Seeing Du Hang nodding again, Wei Xuan quickly motioned for him to pick him up, “Lead the way, lead the way!”
In the snowstorm, a group of zombies each carried a lot of supplies on their backs, jumping all the way on the white snow, active in various places in the city…
—————
In the early morning of the next day, everyone in the high-rise community who rested overnight got up to clean up their personal hygiene. Because there were several heavy snowfalls outside this day, they collected a lot of snow and returned it as water for daily drinking and use.
And compared to summer, the snow in winter is better because it won’t melt immediately, so after a while, they can find a way to get some snow from downstairs and use it back.
Of course, the reservoir they converted into after completely sealing the bottom few floors earlier is also very powerful. After the collected snow is piled in, when the weather gets warmer, the snow will naturally melt for everyone’s daily use. The only problem is that the snow and the stored water will freeze in winter, which is a bit troublesome to use.
The person in charge of monitoring the outside world yawned and casually glanced downstairs. Afterwards, the yawn got stuck in the middle and made him cough again and again. It took a long time before he blushed and greeted others with a thick neck: “Come on, come on! What are those downstairs!?”
Hearing his voice, other people who got up one after another and came to the public activity lounge rushed over and looked out the window. They were all startled when they saw it—
“What it is?!”
“Such a lot!”
“Not before?”
“There is snow outside, if there was something before, couldn’t you see it at a glance?”
“It looks…why does it feel like canned food?!”
“Huh? It’s not like Lao Zhang and the others got it back?”
Lao Zhang was an original member of the high-level base. Years ago, after turning into a zombie, he would not take the initiative to hurt people. After being put down, he would occasionally bring some supplies back and throw them into the building.
“No! Even if they collect the supplies, they won’t put them downstairs or in the snow? Don’t they just throw things in every time??”
The group of people looked at each other in blank dismay again, staring at each other in puzzlement for a long while but couldn’t figure out why.
Overnight, a bunch of more or less things appeared outside the only remaining “base” in T City that still had living people.
Those things include canned food, dry goods, biscuits, and puffed food. The piles and bags look like big gift bags that people gave each other during the Chinese New Year before the end of the world.
The sudden appearance of these “big gift bags” shocked the people in these bases, and they were extremely shocked and terrified. Although they basically found those things immediately after dawn, almost no one dared to go out to pick them up immediately. I’m afraid it’s a trap set by the zombies—not to mention, it’s really possible!
Recently, most of the people in these bases have noticed that there is something wrong with the zombies outside, such as digging holes, such as increased jumping power, such as grabbing human-shaped objects that don’t know whether they are people or zombies, and running all over the street on their shoulders.
If the place where the things are placed is dug by the zombies and these things are bait…they are so stupid that they dare not go out to pick things up! What’s more, God knows how many zombies are buried under the snow in that place? They don’t want to hang up so early, okay?
Day, day, and day passed. On the third day, some people couldn’t help being tempted, and finally sent skilled and fast people from their respective bases to either go downstairs to get the things, or use rope hooks and other things to “set” those things back.
This process was relatively smooth, even if some people startled the zombies “sleeping” in the snow when they went out, but because of the short distance and their quick actions, most of the people who went out had already run away when the zombies came out. Go back to the place where you live, leaving the zombies waving and roaring downstairs.
But when the things were brought back, everyone started to worry again—it would be great if there were no traps. But these things… are they really edible? Is there really no poison in it? Or was there actually some kind of poison smeared on the jar? Anyone who grabs cans and bags will be poisoned and die, or will they just turn into zombies?
The result of thinking too much is that many people missed the best time to eat big gift bags in the New Year, but no matter what, these things will always play their due role in the hands of the survivors, sooner or later into their bellies. The only problem is that some things have really expired for too long and cause some spoilage, and people may have diarrhea after eating it…
Of course, Wei Xuan didn’t know how big a wave the things he sent out caused among the survivors in this city. He just deliberately chose to let his zombie brother put the things near these bases in the middle of the night so that they could be picked up more easily. The place that attracts the fewest nearby zombies.
After putting all the things in place, he Shi Shiran took all the younger brothers home together to make dumplings.
Since the flour at home could still be eaten, Wei Xuan stopped being polite, kneaded out a big bowl and put it aside to wake up, picked up the kitchen knife at home, brought a very strong vegetable block, and started to chop meat with some strength.
Even with the power of zombies, Wei Xuan has to be careful about how many knives should be used when chopping meat, and he must slow down a bit, and don’t chop up the vegetables underneath, otherwise even a handful of sawdust will be chopped up. It’s not good to put it in the meat. After all, although he now has a black hole stomach that can digest everything, the taste of sawdust is unpalatable, and he has no interest in trying it at all.
