Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Xia Lunong didn't sleep well that night.

As the night gradually deepened, the fire made crackling and burning sounds from time to time, and all kinds of beasts and birds could be heard endlessly.

Whenever there was a cry, the kitten's pointed ears would tremble, his paws would twitch, and there would be an inaudible purring sound from his mouth.

Kittens instinctively sense danger and are afraid.

Xia Huoqu was awakened several times by the cat's slight movements.

When he was woken up again, Xia Huoqu couldn't help but hug the kitten and the blanket together.

Yan Xiannian next to him raised his head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Xia Huoqu turned his head to his side, his face became whiter and more delicate under the firelight, and the deep and shallow shadows made that face a little more gentle.

Xia Huoqu put the kitten on his chest, then wrapped the kitten in his arms with a blanket, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Nong may feel something, he is afraid."

His chest vibrated as he spoke.

The young kitten lay on his chest, as if he had finally found peace, his eyelids and ears no longer twitched, his paws were loosened, and lay softly on his chest, breathing steadily and falling asleep again.

Yan Xinian nodded, and lay down next to Xia Huoqu again, "Go to sleep."

Xia Huoqu gave a low "hmm", seized the precious night time, and fell into a deep sleep again.

The cat cub was in a warm embrace with a slight sense of oppression, and there were no longer all kinds of eerie and desolate sounds in his ears. His brother's steady and powerful heartbeat overwhelmed everything, forming white noise in his ears.

The pink cat's mouth hooked up, and the kitten turned over, with its belly facing upwards, and its two front paws raised behind its head, finally sleeping soundly.

In the first half of the night, Liao Quannan and Ba Niu held vigil.

The two looked sluggish, and apart from being tired and sleepy, they were also in a bad mood.

Especially Ba Niu, sitting by the fire, with his long hands hanging down, like a lonely orangutan.

Liao Quannan said in a low voice: "You shouldn't challenge the authority of Captain Yan and Vice-Captain Xia."

Ba Niu looked back at the Xia family brothers and Yan Xiannian who were sleeping together in a pile, and said in a lower voice, "Team Yan is focusing on the cat now, and brought the cat out to practice for such an important operation."

Speaking of this, this seemingly rough man showed some grievances.

Liao Quannan looked at him, and said: "Xiao Nong woke up, Deputy Xia's whole spirit is different, our base may no longer be confined to such a small valley. It's also because he doesn't let you stay on the front line." It’s a good thing, but I’m afraid it will be another dangerous pioneering period.”

Ba Niu sighed, resting his head on his knees, his hands and feet were thick, and he looked more and more like a lowly ape.

Liao Quannan and the other two started vigil at eight o'clock in the evening and kept watch until one o'clock in the evening, and then changed to Yan Xiannian and the bird and beast man Luo Congxin.

No matter what time Yan Xiannian is, he always takes the lead and does the most tiring and difficult work.

After handing over, Ba Niu paused, stood in front of Yan Xinian, lowered his head and said softly, "I'm sorry, Captain Yan, I didn't intend to question you."

Yan Xiannian patted him on the shoulder, "It's not a bad thing for you to quit the property management temporarily."

Xia Lunong had no idea what happened that night.

He slept very well in his brother's arms, and when he opened his eyes the next day, he saw his brother hugging him, with one knee bent and propped on his knee, writing in a diary with a pen.

The cat cub stretched out in his brother's arms, with the tip of his paws fully exposed.

After stretching, the cat turned over, rubbed against his brother's leg, raised his emerald eyes and looked at his brother, "Meow."

Xia Huoqu stretched out his big palm, wrapped the palm of the cat's head and pinched it, and smiled, "Morning."

"Mi." The kitten put a soft pink pad on his hand, protesting his hand.

Before the protest was over, a big hand stretched out from the side and rubbed the cat's snow-white belly, and a smiling voice said, "Morning."

The cat cub patted it again reflexively, this time it stretched out its sharp claws, but was easily dodged by the other party.

The other party not only dodged, but also gently held the kitten's back, stretched it under his armpit, put his hands on his waist, hugged him, met his eyes, and asked with a smile: "What did you say last night?" I wanted to take you around but failed, will you go around this morning?"

"Mi." The cat boy's tone changed immediately, rubbing his head against his big hand, his round eyes were full of approval.

Yan Xiannian smiled and stroked the cat, and said to Xia Huoqu who was concentrating on writing his diary: "Then I'll take Xiao Nong out for a walk?"

Xia Huoqu waved at them without raising his head.

The sun is still out and the air is humid.

Liao Quannan was packing firewood, Luo Congxin was cooking mutton soup, Cong Lian was reading, and Ba Niu was maintaining bows and arrows.

The damp firewood was thrown into the fire, and puffs of green smoke came out one after another. The smell of smoke permeated the whole repairing place, and the air was still filled with the subtle smell of plant essential oils.

That is when the firewood is burning, the bark is heated, and the moisture and the aromatic substances in the bark volatilize together.

Others couldn't smell it, but Xia Lunong smelled it without any pressure.

In addition to these relatively strong smells, he can actually smell the unique smell of each person, the smell of earth and the smell of plants in the air.

Yan Xiannian picked a direction at random, and walked slowly with him in his arms.

They turned into the ruins and were quickly covered by plants.

Both sides of the road that was barely cleared out yesterday were full of plants. If someone with less skill came over, let alone searching here, it would be a good thing not to sprain.

The kitten rolled its round eyes and looked around.

When I turned another corner, suddenly there was another large piece of purple morning glory spreading on both sides.

The morning glory blooms brilliantly in the morning sun, occasionally swaying in the wind.

The cat's eyes widened and he let out a soft "mi".

Yan Xinian's tone was also full of appreciation, "It's very beautiful, do you want to fold some for your brother?"

The kitten looked up at him, the fluffy cat had a look on its face.

Yan Xinian smiled, "Do you disagree?"

"Meow." The cat couldn't help but scratched him lightly.

As they got farther and farther away from their camp, the smell in the air became more and more turbid.

Xia Lunong suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction. He seemed to smell a faint smell of grain?

"What's wrong?" Yan Xiannian asked when he saw that his expression became focused.

"Meow." Xia Lunong stretched out her claws and pointed at a certain ruin, "Meow."

There is something there.

Yan Xiannian carried him over.

This is a ruin overgrown with vegetation, and the ruins are very high.

It was someone's home before the catastrophe, and now it's just a pile of rubble.

The germination and growth of plants on it has accelerated the weathering of this pile of rubble. I am afraid that in three to fifty years, this pile of buildings will return to fertile land, with only shallow traces left.

After Yan Xiannian looked at the pile of buildings, he put the kitten on his shoulder, "Stand firm."

The cat's four paws popped out at once, grabbing the clothes on his shoulders tightly.

Yan Xiannian looked around vigilantly.

Xia Lunong let out a "mi", the smell here is very clean, there is no smell of mutated animals and plants, so there should be no danger.

Yan Xiannian took out a dagger from his back waist, walked into the ruins, climbed to the top in twos and twos, cut off some of the overgrown weeds, shrubs and long vines, and waited for the things below to be exposed before continuing to search .

Xia Lunong stared at his movements, her eyes focused on the ruins.

He cut off a huge vine, grasped the bottom of the vine with the palm of his hand, stretched his arm muscles, grabbed the vine tightly with his powerful hands, and threw it off forcefully.

With the sound of "欻拉", the vines were pulled up in response, revealing a large piece of ruins in front of them.

"Meow!" Xia Lu frowned, the cat's pupils tightened, and her claws tightly hooked Yan Xinian's clothes.

Inside the exposed ruins lay a human remains, to be precise, it was a skeleton, half of which was suppressed by the ruins.

The flesh and hair on them had long since disappeared, and the skeletonized human bones were facing them, and the two black eye sockets seemed to be full of despair.

Yan Xiannian rubbed the cat's back with his backhand, stood in front of the bones, and bowed slightly to the bones.

The cat cub stood on his shoulders, imitating his appearance, and bowed lightly.

Both of them felt a little heavy.

After bowing, the kitty called softly, "Mi."

He stretched out his front paw and pointed in a certain direction, "Meow."

After the vines were lifted, he could smell the grain more clearly.

That not-so-fresh feeling positioned him exactly.

Yan Xiannian looked intently at the direction he was pointing at. There was a big bump there, and tools were needed to clean it up.

After evaluating for a few seconds, Yan Xiannian said: "Let's go back and get the hoe, and bury the owner first."

Xia Lunong let out a "mi" and had no objection.

They didn't go far, and it only took a few minutes to go back.

Yan Xiannian told everyone that Xia Lunong found something in the ruins and had to clean up the ruins. The idle Ba Niu and Cong Lian took the initiative to stand up and said they would go.

Xia Huoqu came over and rubbed his brother's head, and asked, "What did you find?"

"Mi." Xia Huoqu's eyes fell on his brother's pen.

His brother handed him the pen, and he wrote crooked words on the paper with his mouth in his mouth: Gu

Xia Huoqu: "Is there millet in the ruins?"

The kitten nodded, and wrote another word with a pen in its mouth: many

Everyone came over to watch, Xia Huoqu asked, "A lot of millet?"

Kitty nodded again.

Yan Xiannian smiled, "It's good enough, I didn't smell anything."

Even if a group of people walked through the ruins in human form to search for supplies, it would not be easy to break through the ruins, and it was also necessary to guard against sudden attacks by mutated animals and plants hidden in the ruins.

When rummaging through the ruins, the vast majority of people still find nothing after wasting time and effort.

This is also the reason why one piece after another of the ruins has been swept away by the predecessors, but there are still an endless stream of newcomers.

Hearing that there is a lot of rice, Yan Xinian is in a good mood, "Then let's go and look for it before we have breakfast so soon."

Everyone nodded, with anticipation in their eyes.

A group of people walked to the ruins they had just been to, first dug a pit next to the ruins, buried the owner, and then dug in the direction pointed by Xia Lunong.

Ba Niu is the strongest in human form, wielding a hoe vigorously.

He didn't mean to spare his strength either, he dug extremely quickly with one hoe after another.

Everyone is inferior to him.

"I found it." When Ba Niu scooped up the last piece of mud with a hoe, he stepped aside and said to the people below.

Everyone leaned over to look, and found that the ground was actually made of stainless steel plates. The steel plate was not thick, but a thin layer, and it made a "cracking" sound when knocked.

Everyone stepped back a few steps to see the whole picture.

Seeing the size of the ruins, everyone thought that the collapsed beams or bricks formed a closed triangular structure at this corner, supporting the ruins above.

Several sacks of rice may be stored under the triangular structure.

However, nearly two years later, this place has completely turned into a wild environment, and the chances of the rice sprouting are very high. Even if they find the rice, the harvest may not be great.

No one expected that there was actually a huge barn hidden underneath.

For a moment, everyone was neither sleepy nor tired, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Everyone carefully removed all the debris on the stainless steel, and soon discovered that it was a huge stainless steel granary.

The granary is circular in shape, with a diameter of at least three meters. Even if half of it is still buried in the ruins, it can be seen that its height is at least three meters.

Perhaps for reinforcement, there is a circle of wooden shelves outside the granary to firmly support the granary.

This is why the rubble fell and the granary remained intact.
