Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

"Huchi..."

"Huchi..."

In the small courtyard surrounded by thick fog, Xiao Jian was sweating profusely under the scorching sun.

Digging a hole is really much harder than imagined.

In Xiao Jian's vision, the best choice is of course a giant trap that can be sunk.

Whether it is installing an iron spear under the trap to increase the damage, or directly filling the pit with water to increase the hysteresis ability, it is the best.

However, imagination is imagination and reality is reality.

Even on soft land with good soil conditions, it takes a young and strong laborer about an hour to dig a 1-meter-square pit.

Moreover, the young labor here refers to the normal young labor in agricultural societies who work in the fields all year round.

Those who entered the office after graduating from college are not even considered laborers.

Although Xiao Jian could barely be considered a laborer, he spent more than an hour and only dug a few shallow pits thirty centimeters square.

It's not that he doesn't want to dig deeper, but the problem is that there are more rocks if you dig deeper, and they are not small.

As long as a tool like a shovel cannot be inserted into the soil, the work efficiency is too low. It is better to dig more traps... traps.

"call……"

Xiao Jian threw down the shovel and sat down next to the bucket, panting heavily.

Although he was very thirsty and the bucket was nearby, he still did not drink.

The 18.9-liter bucket weighs nearly 20 kilograms. When I am strong enough, I can still hold it and blow. As for now?

After an hour of intense labor, he just wanted to take a break.

"Why is it so difficult to dig a hole..."

Xiao Jian sighed.

Sure enough, technology is the primary productive force.

After all the busy work, there are just a few fruits of labor, and it only takes a few shovels to replace the excavator.

Cutting out the war chess perspective, Xiao Jian glanced at the upper left corner of the map.

79

"..."

After working for so long, only an hour and 20 minutes have passed! ?

There is still half an hour until the sunshine value reaches 100 points.

"Forget it, that's it..."

Xiao Jian lay down directly.

The sun is very bright, but also very warm.

I no longer felt hungry when I was working, but now that I have some free time, my stomach starts to feel upset again.

"Gulu..."

"Guluulu..."

"..."

What did you eat yesterday?

correct.

Fried croaker.

It's crispy and fragrant, with a crunch and the crumbs fall off when you bite it. The bones are crispy, and you don't even need to spit out the prick.

And beef stew with potatoes.

The potatoes are soft, the beef is firm, and every bite is full of meaty flavor.

There are also sour, crisp and tender pickles...

Oh, what a magical life I lived yesterday!

"Gululu..."

No, I can’t think about it anymore!

The more I think about it, the hungrier I get!

By the way, can the peas shot by the pea shooter be eaten?

Xiao Jian stood up and looked at the Peashooter's small speaker...

Do you have to dig it out with your hands?

Forget it, Xiao Jian directly ordered the pea shooter to shoot on the ground.

"puff……"

A pea hits the ground, breaks into pieces and disappears.

"Sure enough, there is no bug..."

Xiao Jian fell to the ground slumped, feeling even hungrier.

At this moment, the earth suddenly trembled.

"boom……"

Xiao Jian, who was lying on the ground, felt a shock wave pouring into his back from the ground, as if his internal organs had been pinched by someone, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

"Hiss..."

"call……"

When Xiao Jian finally recovered from the pain, he suddenly discovered something...

Outside the fog wall, the fog billows.

A huge shadow disturbed the calmness of the dense fog.

Xiao Jian rolled over and climbed up, squatting between the buckets and holding his breath.

"boom……"

The earth trembled again.

The bucket in front of Xiao Jian also trembled, and the bucket of water he drank from before was opened, and a water column shot upward like a fountain, which was higher than the old house!

"Wow..."

The water column collapsed suddenly, soaking Xiao Jian's hair.

But he remained motionless.

The shadow in the mist seemed not to notice this small world. After creating two huge shocks, the shadow gradually faded...disappeared...

It seems that it has left?

The fog was so thick that Xiao Jian couldn't even see the outline of the shadow.

But this did not prevent Xiao Jian from realizing the power of that thing.

The two shocks just now were comparable to the shock waves generated by heavy artillery explosions...

No matter what the shadow was just now, Xiao Jian had no doubt that it had the ability to crush this small courtyard.

Another few dozen minutes passed.

The shadow never appeared again, and the thick fog seemed to have returned to calm.

Xiao Jian opened the war chess perspective and took a look at the sunshine value.

102

After more than an hour of exposure, the stored sunlight value is enough to summon [Pea Shooter].

As the card disappeared from Xiao Jian's hand, another pea shooter emerged from the field.

Looking at these two swaying "little trumpets", Xiao Jian felt a little more at ease.

Whatever the case may be, it's always a good thing to be twice as resilient against risk.

After planting the new peashooter, Xiao Jian tightened his grip on the iron rod that served as the handle of the shovel and looked at the fog wall to prepare.

Then……

An hour passed.

Two hours passed.

When the sunlight value was almost 150, there were still no zombies appearing.

Could it be that all the zombies were scared away by the huge shadow before?

"Guluulu..."

His stomach was protesting again, and Xiao Jian clearly felt that it was difficult for his fingertips to stay still... Apparently his blood sugar was starting to get low.

No, we can't wait any longer.

If he continues like this, he will collapse and be completely unable to resist.

Xiao Jian finally made up his mind to use the remaining two resource cards.

But the problem is...

What resources are exchanged for?

Or to be more specific, which food is the safest to redeem?

The safest thing to say is, of course, rice and white noodles.

This kind of food, which is not highly processed, not only has a long storage time, but is also very hungry.

In extreme cases, 75 kilograms of rice is enough for Xiao Jian to live for more than half a year.

But cooking requires a container, and the problem is that Xiao Jian doesn't have a container.

Exchange resource cards for iron pots?

It seems a bit luxurious.

How about replacing potatoes?

Throw it in the fire and it will be roasted, and you can plant what you can't finish eating.

Potatoes are almost a perfect food, except for their short shelf life.

However, when Xiao Jian saw the exchange rate of potatoes, he gave up - because this thing was actually calculated based on seeds! !

Just a few potatoes would not be enough for Xiao Jian to eat for a week!

After much deliberation, Xiao Jian finally chose to exchange the rice.

As a resource card disappeared from Xiao Jian's hand, three more 25-kilogram bags of rice appeared in front of him.

In today’s daily life, it is rare to see such large packages of rice, which are usually about 10 kilograms and can be carried with one hand.

The 25kg package is 70cm*45cm, which is higher than an ordinary four-legged plastic stool when placed on the ground. Two bags are heavier than a girl!

However, the heavier the rice was, the more at ease Xiao Jian felt.

Now Xiao Jian only has one resource card left in his hand, but he has already thought about what he wants to exchange for it.

As the resource card disappeared in his hand, a large bundle of bamboo suddenly appeared in the open space in front of him!

These bamboos are about 5 meters long, and there are almost 50 bamboos in total.

Now, the fuel and containers are available.

First wash the spade head clean, then use the spade head as an ax to chop out several bamboo tubes with only one section.

As for the broken bamboo tube, it is not wasted. It can be chopped into pieces and directly used as fuel.

After making four bamboo tubes, Xiao Jian poured water and rice into the bamboo tubes, and then placed them under the eaves to soak for a while.

Then, Xiao Jian took off his trousers, used a spade to remove the trousers, and finally tore a few loose threads from them.

These threads are tinder.

Now that we have tinder, is it time to drill wood to make fire?

of course not.

When digging a pit before, Xiao Jian found several pieces of flint.

The so-called flint is a very common siliceous rock. When the stone is cracked open, it will produce a shell-shaped fracture.

Xiao Jian's shovel is made of high carbon steel.

If high carbon steel is used to strike flint, sparks will be produced.

Xiao Jian held the shovel head and hammered for a long time, and finally found an angle that could stably produce sparks.

Then adjust the angle to let the sparks rush into the tinder...

After a while, the cotton thread that had been twisted very thin began to burn and smoke came out.

"call……"

Xiao Jian blew the tinder gently and carefully piled some thin bamboo strips and sawdust on top.

While blowing it, small flames soon appeared from the bamboo strips.

Xiao Jian was not careless, but continued to build thin bamboo slices and thin wooden strips like building blocks.

It is said that people should be humble and fire should be hollow.

Piling fuel on top regardless of the situation will only extinguish the flame that was finally ignited.

Hard work pays off.

The bonfire was quickly raised, and Xiao Jian, who was so busy that his face was dark, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Block up the bamboo tube filled with rice and throw it directly into the fire to burn.

It got dark unconsciously.

The sun that seemed to hang in the sky forever had already set at some point.

When the busy Xiao Jian took some time off, he discovered that a bright moon had already hung in the small sky surrounded by the fog wall.

Inexplicably, a poem popped into Xiao Jian's head.

People today don’t see the moon in ancient times.

This month once illuminated the ancients.

Xiao Jian had long forgotten who wrote this poem, but the artistic conception seemed so appropriate at this moment.

That note provided a lot of knowledge, but most of it was "instructions" on how to survive and how to use the cards.

Regarding such important information as to where the end of the world came from, the note was somewhat vague.

But from the endless vagueness, only one thing is very clear, that is, the end of the world has arrived.

The flames burned cracklingly.

It not only brought heat, but also brought a touch of warmth to Xiao Jian.

Looking at the jumping flames, questions that I had no time to think about carefully during the day popped up one after another.

Humanity, civilization, the end of the world, and the future...

"Gulu..."

The aroma of rice filling the air interrupted Xiao Jian's thoughts.

The rice is ready.

In an instant, all civilizations and apocalypses disappeared.

Now Xiao Jian's mind is filled with fragrant white rice.

I picked a bamboo tube that I liked and split it open, revealing the white rice grains.

Xiao Jian didn't care about burning it. He used a piece of bamboo with the edges cut off as a spoon and eagerly dug out a large piece and put it into his mouth.

"Hiss...hiss..."

Xiao Jian was so hot that he inhaled, and the fragrance of rice in his mouth immediately calmed down his nerves that had been tense all day.

Although it was just simple white rice, I had to say that this bowl of... bucket rice was definitely the best rice he had ever eaten.

none of them.
