Apocalyptic Tundra Age

"One step at a time counts as one step at a time."

Xu Zhonglei didn't expect this person to hesitate for so long, and finally gave him such an answer.

"Then you take one step at a time. The weather is getting colder and colder. Before it rains, I'll build the wall first. You can rest with me for a while before you go!"

Xu Zhonglei watched the curly and browned bamboo leaves being blown up and down by the strong wind. Although it was morning, the sky was dark, and he felt that there was not much time for construction, so he got up and prepared to continue working, so he got up and left.

Sitting on the sofa, Cheng Yuming quickly grabbed Xu Zhonglei's clothes, and shouted, "I'll sell myself to you! Brother! Can you provide food and shelter?"

"I—this—" Xu Zhonglei looked at Cheng Yuming's bright and hopeful eyes, and was ruthlessly ready to refuse

"Brother Shitou, I can farm land, raise pigs, feed cows and sheep, repair mobile phones, computers, machines, unlock locks, chase dogs, and warm your bed! The living room and the kitchen can be used by three people alone. I want a place to sleep and eat three meals! What a cost-effective choice, brother!" Cheng Yuming admired himself for being able to say such a sentence at a critical moment.

"Xiao Cheng, it's not that I'm too indifferent, I'm afraid I can't even support myself." Xu Zhonglei made an excuse and planned to refuse.

"Brother, I don't eat rice. When I get better, I will plant potatoes. I will support you!"

"Ahem." Xu Zhonglei didn't know how to refuse, so he went out to work indifferently.

Xu Zhonglei felt that he still didn't know much about Cheng Yuming. He thought that the police uncles were unsmiling, upright, and very reasonable. He didn't expect Cheng Yuming to be a funny comparison. He squatted down to build the wall, and Cheng Yuming carried the chair at home When he came out, there was a chair chattering beside him, trying to sell himself.

"Stay here, don't talk!"

"Good~"

Sure enough, there was no sound, Xu Zhonglei was busy for a long time and turned his head to see, yes, this man fell asleep sitting on the chair.

When cooking, Xu Zhonglei struggled for a long time about how much rice to cook, but in the end he couldn't stop, so he picked up two bowls of rice and put them in the pressure cooker, and turned on the biogas stove to cook.He fried a cabbage heart, fried two eggs, and made a chopped green onion and egg soup.

"It's time to eat!" Xu Zhonglei yelled into Cheng Yuming's ear, and Cheng Yuming stood up from the chair like a spring, and fell down again with a "boom".

"Surprised! Come in by yourself!"

I ate lunch on the small table in the living room. Cheng Yuming was still a little dazed looking at it. He didn't know how the world would change after he fell asleep, and he didn't dare to speak. He didn't just glance at Xu Zhonglei, but the meal and dishes were still delicious. very clean.

Xu Zhonglei's fence project is not small. His fence is already big, but now he has to build it with fallen fence bricks, and there is an additional procedure, which is to knock off the cement attached to the bricks.In the morning, Xu Zhonglei had already used up the bricks that had been cleaned up, so the first thing to do in the afternoon was to clean up the bricks.

After he cleaned up several bricks in a "framework" and arranged them, Cheng Yuming moved the chair and sat on the edge of the collapsed wall, and followed his example to clean up the bricks, and at the same time stacked the bricks neatly.

This work is not tiring. When Xu Zhonglei was young, he also helped his grandfather in the brick-breaking work, so he ignored him and made his own bricks.

The collapsed wall facing the mountain road was not big. By the afternoon of Xu Zhonglei, there were only a few bricks left to fill in, but the silt used as filler was not enough.

He looked at Cheng Yuming who was helping him find another hole, and decided to trust him for once.He summoned the boss and the little soft, stuffed six of the plastic barrels left over from the renovation on the sled, put the boss and the little soft on the traction belt, and went out with the big team, staying in the sled Cheng Yuming was in a mess by himself on the chair.

After a while, the boss and Xiaoruan came back pulling the pulley sled. The two big dogs "barked" at Cheng Yuming, beckoning him to help unload the two buckets full of mud from the sled.

Cheng Yuming tentatively untied the ropes that bound the two barrels on the sled, and took the barrels down.

Seeing that the things had been taken down, the two dogs discussed with each other a few times, pulled the empty sled pulleys along the mountain road, and finally stopped at the place where the mud was dug by the pond in the village. Cheng Yuming thought in confusion: These two are the same as It looks like it has become a master, and it transports goods like a human being.

"Where's my bucket?!" Xu Zhonglei dug out two more buckets of mud from the pond and landed on the shore, but when he looked up, there was no dog, and the bucket was gone!

"Ahem! My two sled dogs have been doing pulling training, which is a bit different from other dogs." Xu Zhonglei came back with the other four buckets of mud, and saw the remaining two buckets of mud that had been placed in the yard. embarrassingly explained.

"Brother Shitou, your dog is also smart!" Cheng Yuming also praised with a smile.

Xu Zhonglei sent the dog to rest with satisfaction, and continued to build the wall by himself.

Building walls is purely physical work, Xu Zhonglei thought about Cheng Yuming's matter carefully while building the walls.

To accept a person into one's life, the disadvantages are obvious.

There are so many things in my basement, and the energy of several warehouses is hard to explain;

If the concept is different, the possibility of quarrel is very high, which will affect the normal life;

Human nature is inherently greedy, if Cheng Yuming is a bad person, he will have no way out;

One more person who knows about his storage is more risky, this is too risky.

Of course, there are also advantages. In a difficult environment, the chances of survival are much higher if you live in a group than alone;

The food he prepared, although the shelf life can be extended a lot in the cold environment, will eventually deteriorate;

If you want to live for ten or twenty years, you can only use the land to continuously produce new food;

The combat power of two people is much stronger than that of one person, and it is possible to fight gangsters and wild beasts;

He is alone, if he can only spend the next years alone, Xu Zhonglei doesn't know if he will go crazy;

The most essential attribute of human beings is sociality, Xu Zhonglei does not want to become a savage himself.

Danger and opportunity, companionship and freedom, Xu Zhonglei glanced at Cheng Yuming thoughtfully. Cheng Yuming, who was knocking bricks, noticed his gaze and returned him a cute smile.Xu Zhonglei continued to calculate. According to the standards of his companions, this little policeman may be the best choice he can find now: he can see the past, has a good personality, has little difference in three views, and can continue to chat.

He stared at Brick in front of him with a determined look, thinking silently: So be it!The best way to get rid of fear is to face it!Let's fight together!

"I agree." Xu Zhonglei said a word to Cheng Yuming while eating the rest of the meal in the evening.

Cheng Yuming's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Zhonglei continued, "I'll take you to the plank house in the village to take a look and tidy up your quilts and everything. Build a house on a plot of land, and use the fallen bricks from the nearby building as building materials, and go to the back mountain to chop the wood, by the way, you know how to build a house, right?"

Coincidentally, no.

"Ahem!" Cheng Yuming coughed out the rice that had accidentally slipped into the intake pipe, and said honestly, "I haven't done it, I won't."

"No? It doesn't matter. You will always move bricks, and then you will move hard!" Xu Zhonglei has already planned what his new companion will do in his mind.

"Okay! Guaranteed to complete the task!" Cheng Yuming grinned and accepted the arrangement with satisfaction.
