Doomsday foresight

Why is Aquamarine like this?

"There is no clear conclusion in the south, but some experts say that the orbit of the water blue star has changed, and the angle of the sun's direct sunlight has changed, which makes the weather become extremely hot and extremely cold, and because of this, the earth's magnetic field has also undergone some changes. , The increase in the intensity of solar radiation has changed all living things on Earth." The company commander shook his head, "That's all I know, many people are researching, who knows if it's correct."

Director Zhang also said, "A scientist discovered that there is an unknown element in the air. These unknown elements appeared when they first changed. It seems that some of the facilities in our extremely large power plant are due to changes in the magnetic field and this unknown element." Destroyed, there are very few cities with electricity now. Without electricity, a lot of work can’t be done, all jobs that use electricity have stopped, you know we can’t do without electricity, the city is basically paralyzed.”

Jiang Chen sighed, they were naturally aware of the power outage, it happened not long after the disaster happened, but they didn't expect it to be nationwide and it hasn't recovered yet. "What will you do next?"

The company commander smiled wryly, "It's hard for us people to survive in the south. When we got here, they also divided into several factions. We didn't want to join a certain snobbery, so we were sent here. We were not given any food and As for supplies, we can only find our own way, this year I heard that some urbanites came here to cultivate the land, and they asked us to find someone to collect the grain by ourselves." The company commander said and frowned, "But we didn't find it."

"They're on the Dongshan side." Jiang Chen said, "Last year, there was no one in the town there. There was a lot of land, so our village didn't arrange it. They went there when they were farming."

The company commander nodded, "Oh, that's right, but we saw on the way here that the corn and soybeans in the field are not harvested. Unless we rob them. Otherwise, we can't harvest food. We really didn't expect that food in the north was so scarce. degree."

Director Zhang thought of the defenses in the village when they came, "We just want to settle down first, and the supplies we brought from the south can last for a while. If we settle down, we want to go hunting and harvesting fruits in the forest in the north. Now the forest The plants in the forest are growing very well. There will not be much grain harvest in the south this year, the germination rate is too low, and the wild plants are too aggressive, and many fields are occupied by plants. However, there is also a lot of food in those forests, as long as If you have the strength, you can still catch the prey. I think the northern forest is the same."

"If we can't collect enough food before the temperature drops, then we still have to go back to the south." Along the way, the company commander also had no idea, and could only prepare for the worst.If it doesn't work, you have to go to the south to face those insects.

The Sixth Uncle and Jiang Chen knew about their situation, because there were not many of them, and because they were soldiers, the villagers did some research and agreed that they could be stationed inside the wall, but they could only be stationed at the outermost wall. They also agree that they are also vigilant. They have seen too much along the way, and these people are also very defensive.

The company camped in tents at the beginning. They wanted to go to the northern forest to see if there was enough prey in the mountains. If there was enough food, they would stay here and build a house when the time came.

They drove three cars, but there were only 32 of them, and the cars were all supplies. On the second day after they came, Company Commander Zhao and the others exchanged some supplies from the south for food at the brigade headquarters in the village.

These things are all kinds of strange things, but most of them are from animals.

The Jinxi family also changed some things. There are snake skins. They were snakes that were killed earlier this year. They are very large and can be used as leather armor. Company Commander Zhao and the others each have one piece. The defense effect is very good. There are many fierce snakes over there. Quite a few, and most people in the village exchanged some with grain.

There are also all kinds of dried meat and bacon. These things were brought from the south. In the south, they rely on hunting and picking fruits in the forest to store food. There is not much food there, just because there is a lot of food in the forest. Those with strength can be satisfied, and it is precisely because of this that strength is especially important in the south, and now a culture of respecting strength has formed.Not much has changed in the north.

For the villagers who haven't eaten meat for a long time, Company Commander Zhao's products are all bestsellers, and when they exchange, they are divided according to the taste of the meat, which is acceptable to everyone.

The most expensive one is the wild silkworm, because it tastes the best and is very nutritious. The wild silkworm can now grow to a weight of three catties. The meat is tender and delicious. Moreover, these silkworms can no longer be farmed. They only eat fresh ones from the trees. Mulberry leaves, if they are picked off, they will not eat them. There are many mulberry forests in the south, but it is not easy to find because of plant invasion. If the hunting team goes out to bring back wild silkworms, it will gain huge benefits.

When they came to the north, they went to the forest to get a lot of wild silkworms. They boiled these wild silkworms in salt water, then dried them, and they could be stored for a long time. It can manage fullness and nutrition, and replenish body energy.

Jinxi has no love for this kind of thing, although it can't be seen at all after it's done, but when Company Commander Zhao came to their house as a guest, what he brought was this kind of silkworm stem, maybe they think this kind of thing is the best gift up.Jinxi tasted it and it was very good.But what he was most afraid of was that he still had some psychological barriers after eating those soft bugs.

On the contrary, Dabao and Huzi's children especially love to eat it, especially Dabao, who treats it as a snack, because this Jinxi even specially went to change some for them.

The arrival of Company Commander Zhao and the others had a great impact on the people in the village. They finally knew the outside news. During the few days when Company Commander Zhao and the others rested, Sixth Uncle Jiang Chen and the others went to their place almost every day to learn about the outside situation.

Now the whole country except here in the north, the south is almost anarchic, and various forces are everywhere. Some people organized hunting teams and went into the forest to find food.

The fighting in the north is too mild in comparison.The forest is not expanding as quickly as in the south, but it will happen sooner or later.

Company Commander Zhao asked his team members and Jiang Chen and the others to exchange ideas. Company Commander Zhao and his team trained their skills from the forest. They are fast and flexible. However, the people in Yejia Village are also good. , After one winter, the young people in the village have grown somewhat, and even gained weight and strength a lot.If you let them eat better, their bodies will grow.

Having reached this conclusion, the villagers no longer want to rely on the fields in the field, and they are also ready to go hunting.

"I'll go with you tomorrow." Jinxi saw Jiang Chen sitting on the kang wiping his gun and went in and said.

"I haven't been to the northern forest for a long time. I don't know what's going on inside. You—" Jiang Chen doesn't really want to go to Jinxi. Last time he went to Beiyudian to see supplies, he found that there were many animals in the forest.He dared not take any chances.

Jinxi interrupted before he finished speaking, "I know it's dangerous. I dreamed about hunting in the forest a lot. I wanted to go and see and compare it with the situation in my dream. Besides, there were so many people I went to. And a gun, you can always protect yourself."

Seeing that Jinxi was so determined, Jiang Chen didn't stop him, "Then you have to stay by my side all the time tomorrow, and you must never leave."

"This is no problem." Jin Xi smiled happily.Climb up the kang, and start to rummage through the things I brought with me when I go out tomorrow.

There was a gentle smile on Jiang Chen's face, Jin Xi turned around to talk to him and saw it, and blushed for some reason, "Why are you smiling like this, hiss - I have goosebumps." Jin Xi said and touched it arm.

Jiang Chen's smile widened, "What goosebumps, let me see." He pulled Jinxi's feet and circled them with his hands.

"Oh, don't move, it's itchy." Jin Xi hid back with a smile.

The two kept laughing.The grandma in the outer room was lying on the kang, pursing her lips and smiling, "This kid hasn't been this happy for a long time."

"Well, he's been busy this year, and he's really grown up."

"Hey, if there were no such disasters, both Da Jiang and Jin Xi would have married wives. Now it's so good, there is no choice at all. I'm so worried about what to do."

"What are you worried about? The situation is not good now, but you can always get over it. Didn't Company Commander Zhao say that there is a trade fair in the south now? I heard that there is everything in the trade fair. We have to do it in the north sooner or later. Then let them go a few more times and say You can get to know someone if you don’t allow it. We can’t say what kind of girl we offer as a betrothal gift.” Mr. Ye is very confident. If before the disaster, his family didn’t have much money to marry a daughter-in-law, but now the situation is different. As long as there is food, everything is easy to talk about. Well, Jinhang's daughter-in-law's family just wants this and that. Once this disaster comes, they don't need money, and they get married when they are given food.So he is in no hurry.

The next day, the village dispatched two teams to go to the forest in the north to learn about the situation, and they gathered at the east gate before departure. They went there for at least three days.

"Jinxi, you go too." Zhang Cheng was a little envious.They didn't go this time, and there were still people guarding the house, Jiang Chen was worried about others, Zhang Zhong and Zheng Yuan stayed behind him the most at ease.Zhang Cheng also stayed behind.

"Yeah." Jin Xi tugged at the backpack strap, "It's your turn next time. Don't worry."

"I'm so anxious, but you see, you have the smallest number of people in our village." Zhang Cheng said and pointed around.

Jin Xi rolled his eyes.What can he do? The young people in the village are as strong as a cow after taking Dali pills. His appearance has hardly changed, but he knows that his strength and speed have also increased, but his body has changed too much. Weak, outsiders can't detect it, maybe it's his deceitfulness that makes outsiders think he is like a weak chicken.He doesn't care which one, it's better not to leak his strength.

They set off this time in a military vehicle. Company Commander Zhao and the others collected a lot of gasoline on the way. This is the first time they went to the north to check the situation. They may have to go on foot or use animals in the future.

The distance was closer than they thought, and Jiang Chen hadn't been here for a long time. He didn't expect the plants here to spread here. If it continued, their fields would probably be covered by forests in a year or two.This is a very serious matter.

"Okay, let's get off here. Shall we act together or separately?" Company Commander Zhao jumped out of the car and asked Jiang Chen.

"Let's separate, so many people can't enter together."

Company Commander Zhao nodded, "Okay, let's go separately, let's go this way, regardless of whether there is any gain, we will gather here tomorrow evening. This is the first time we come here, so don't go too deep."

"Okay, then let's go east." Jiang Chen said holding a map. "It was drawn by an old man in the village who is familiar with the forest. There are several caves here. If there is no danger, you can rest here."

"Well, thank you, you are also careful, the animals are very powerful now, especially the animals in the north are fierce and meet wolves and bears, so you must be careful."

Jiang Chen smiled at the company commander, "We won't go too deep. This time, it mainly depends on the situation."

Separated from Company Commander Zhao, Jiang Chen divided the team into two groups. "Uncle Xiaofeng, you will take them with you. You are the most familiar with the situation in the forest in our village. This time we are here to explore the way. If you encounter animals, you must be careful, especially large animals. Their strength and speed must be There will be an increase, it's all about safety."

Ye Xiaofeng is the only hunter in their village, he also knows the forest situation very well, Jiang Chen can feel at ease with him, and Ye Qiu and Ye Jinming are also assigned to that team by Jiang Chen, both of them have guns in their hands, Jiang Chen never left after the attack. The patrol team selected a few good guns and asked them to practice alone. This time, they were given guns on the mission.Among them, Ye Qiu's marksmanship is the most accurate.

Of course, the people in the team can't rely on the guns in their hands. According to Company Commander Zhao, guns are not so easy to use in the south, and the defense ability of animals has also increased.

The team separated, Jiang Chen and his team headed east, and along this way they could reach the familiar Beiyudian.

When they enter the forest, they can see the lush plants. In the early days, the surrounding forests were not so dense due to the felling of trees, but now they are lush and lush. The artificially planted trees can no longer see their original appearance. It seems to have entered the virgin forest.

The flora and fauna of the forest did change, and as they walked they could see some pheasants and hares bouncing from the woods.It's just that they're fast.The team members had never seen this kind of forest scene where animals can be seen everywhere. They didn't expect that there would be so many animals in the forest after only one winter.Humans seem to be more vulnerable than animals.No child has been born in their village since last year.

No one in their village hunts, except for Ye Xiaofeng, that's his hobby, and he doesn't make a living from hunting. As early as ten years ago, the hunting ban policy was thoroughly implemented here.So although they were excited to see those animals, they had trouble catching them.

Still, Jiang Chen has some experience. He has wandered in the African jungle for a long time, and he has also learned the hunter's moves from the team members.

Shooting with a gun is definitely not enough. Jiang Chen taught everyone to set up some traps, "Let's do this first and wait until we come back to see what we can get. Let's go in first." Jiang Chen looked at the traps everyone made, very rough , I don't know what to gain.

Today was to see the situation in the forest, and the group didn't stay in the periphery for long.

"It's so beautiful." Jinxi looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him in surprise, "Is it the same when you came here before?"

"No." Ye Ke shook his head. He used to come here often, but he had never seen such a beautiful scenery.The forests in and out of the mountains in the distance, the lakes reflect their reflections, and the lakes of different sizes are like mirrors. Whooper swans, wild ducks, and beautiful unnamed birds can be seen everywhere. In and out of the grass, they had never seen so many birds.

"Look quickly." A member of the team pointed to the distance and said to them.

Following his finger, Jinxi and the others saw a black bear appearing at the edge of the forest.This black bear is really big. Black bears are relatively small among bears, but this black bear is three meters tall and huge. If it weren't for the white crescent on its chest and long black hair, they wouldn't dare to recognize it.

"Black bears have grown so big, aren't brown bears even bigger?" Jin Xi feels that the world doesn't know him anymore.

"Be careful, let's leave this way." Jiang Chen didn't want to mess with the black bear. Their current hunting ability is very weak, and they can't deal with bears yet.To the east of this wetland is Beiyudian.

Walking west along the wetland, a group of people took a rest by the water, and were very lucky to encounter a moose.

"How about we catch it back and raise the cart?" Ye Jinkang was eager to try.

"This is a male moose, I'm afraid it's not so easy to catch." Jiang Chen looked at it. This moose was taller than the moose he had seen before. The diameter of the big horn was about 1.5 meters, with many branches, and it was very strong.

"In this way, Jinkang Yeke, you guys go around and grab a net to intercept, we will rush over here. See if we can catch it, and be careful. The moose should be strong, so don't fight them hard. Jinxi, you Take a gun and be careful, if the moose resists too much, kill it." Jiang Chen planned.Jinxi's marksmanship is very steady, and his accuracy is not much worse than his.So leave the job of protection to him.

They prepared nets before going out, just thinking about catching large animals.

Jiang Chen led three people to lie down in the grass, seeing that Jinkang and the others had already arranged the net, he got up and roared, and following their voices, the four people slowly surrounded them like the moose.

The moose was startled awake, first stood up and took a look, then jumped back, Jiang Chen saw it and quickly shouted, "Be careful it jumps over." The moose jumped high enough just now.

Jiang Chen yelled a little late, Ye Ke and the others failed to adjust the height of the net in time, the moose jumped across it all at once, but fortunately, it was almost at the jumping height, and its feet were entangled, but it had great strength, and it hit the net all at once. On Ye Ke's shoulder, he pushed him to the ground. Seeing that the moose was about to step on it, Jin Xi shot the moose in the head.The moose was unstable, Jiang Chen quickly pulled Ye Ke aside, and the moose fell to the ground, convulsed and died.

The whole process took less than 1 minute, and the moose died, so their operation was not considered a success.

"How are you?" Jiang Chen knelt down and asked Ye Ke.

"Oh my god, it hurts me to death, why is this thing so strong." Ye Ke couldn't even move his arms.

Jiang Chen touched it, "It's dislocated." He moved his hand and pressed it with a click, "You're too close."

"That's because I was close. This guy was too strong and dragged us over." Ye Ke pointed at Jinkang with his chin.

"That's right." Jinkang lowered his head and picked up the net, which was broken. "If I hadn't killed it, I'm afraid I would have run away. But Jinxi, you are too daring to strike, and you are not afraid of hitting us." The gunshot He was startled all the time.

Jin Xi pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing. In fact, there was no one in his line of sight at the time, so such a thing would not have happened.

"Fortunately, it was shot at close range. When it hits the head, you can see that the bullet doesn't enter much. If it hits the body, it won't die at all. As I told Company Commander Zhao, hunting with a gun doesn't work. You have to ask carefully when you go back. Uncle Xiaofeng's hunting skills."

Human beings are beginning to return to the original, and many things have to be learned from scratch.
