Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Xia Maomao's mouth was wide open. Even before the catastrophe, he had never seen such a large beehive, neither with his own eyes nor on social networks.

"Meow." He called softly, pawing at his brother.

This hive is too scary, it's not something they can mess with, let's run away.

Xia Huoqu lowered his voice, "It's okay, go back and discuss with your old brother what to do. If you want to get honey, there is no fire."

"Meow." Forget it.

Xia Maomao looked at the beehive with her round emerald eyes, full of worry.

Xia Huoqu didn't say much, just held the cat in his arms, "Let's go back first."

As he spoke, he withdrew step by step.

After retreating tens of meters and making sure that the bee would not come up to attack, Xia Huoqu lowered his head and asked his brother, "Can you catch me in cat form?"

"Meow?" Xia Maomao nodded and shook his head, with a very hesitant expression.

Xia Huoqu put him aside, took off his clothes, rolled them up and stuffed them into the sack, saying: "Try first, if it doesn't work, you can get into the sack again."

"mum."

Xia Huoqu stood on the spot and turned into a huge white wolf. Xia Maomao looked up at his brother, and when his brother's complete transformation was complete, he jumped up and climbed along his brother's front legs onto his back.

Compared with the human form, the cat form is much smaller, and when squatting on his brother's back, the left and right sides are wide.

Xia Maomao hooked his brother's long wolf fur with its four paws, and bit it in its mouth, "Mi."

Alright!

"Roar!" The white wolf moved his limbs and trotted on the spot.

The two brothers have long hair, and the wind blows over and brushes their hair up, taking away the heat.

This feeling is very wonderful. Sitting on his brother's back, Xia Maomao couldn't help narrowing his eyes, "Mi."

When the two brothers returned to the base, Yan Xiannian and Kong Zhi had already returned.

The two have already spread the peanuts in the small square to dry, and they must be able to dry the moisture on the surface of the peanuts in half a day today.

Yan Xi Nian said: "I won't accept it tonight, I told Lao Huang and the others who are on guard, if there is any sign of rain at night, call us again."

These days are sunny days, the moon and stars are sparse at night, and the probability of rain is very small.

The peanuts are sun-dried in the sun and night, and they will be dried in a few days before being sent for oil extraction.

Xia Huo's channel: "That's fine too. See who in the base is more free during the day, and let them take care of it during the day. If it rains, just help us put it away."

"Let me ask."

After drinking the water, Xia Huoqu said, "Xiao Nong just found honey outside, but the bee is too big, I wonder if I can get some."

"Honey?" Yan Xiannian asked, "How big is the bee?"

"As big as a ping pong ball."

Yan Xiannian thought for a while, "That's okay, no ants have mutated so much. Are there many bees?"

"There are quite a lot. It looks like a big round table from a distance. It is very scary to hang on the tree."

"Then take it." Yan Xinian decided, "There are many plants nearby, and the ants and bees are multiplying very quickly. If you don't take it, it may harm the base again."

The two discussed it and decided that it would be sooner rather than later, and they would go to get rid of the honeycomb in the afternoon.

Xia Maomao immediately meowed to express that she wanted to go too.

"What are you going to do? It's so dangerous." Xia Huoqu lowered his head and looked at him. "You can't even change back into a human form. Even if you go, you can only watch the excitement. Such a dangerous place is not suitable for watching the excitement."

"Mi." Xia Maomao shrank his head cowardly, if he really didn't go, he would be unwilling.

After thinking about it, he ran to the side with a pen and paper in his mouth, and wrote: I went, and I may find other things.

Xia Huoqu stood where he was, neither saying yes nor no.

Xia Maomao looked at his brother, then at Yan Xiannian and Kong Zhi, and ran to Kong Zhi's side to rub Kong Zhi's feet, beckoning Kong Zhi to help him speak.

Kong Zhi gently pushed the cat away.

Xia Maomao came over and rubbed against each other again, raised his head to look at him, his round eyes were full of accusations: Are you still a brother? !

Kong Zhi met those eyes, understood his meaning strangely, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Xia Maomao stared again.

Kong Zhi had no choice but to say: "I'll take Xiao Nong there, we'll watch from a distance, if there is any danger, I'll take him to fly higher."

Xia Huo looked at his brother.

His younger brother buried his two cat paws under his body, and tilted his head obediently at him, "Mi."

Xia Huoqu paused, "Alright."

If four people go together, there is no need to find other people at the base.

Yan Xiannian specially prepared a small bottle of oil, and also carried two wooden barrels, planning to put the honey in the barrels after cutting the honey.

Xia Huoqu took a look, then went back and picked out two wooden barrels.

Yan Xiannian was surprised, "Is there as much as two loads of honey?"

Xia Huoqu recalled the size of the huge bee ball, and said, "I'm afraid I can't finish two loads."

"Isn't it? How big is the bee, can it be smoked?"

Xia Maomao's heart moved when he heard the words, he raised his head and gave a "meow" to his brother, ran on all fours, ran into the kitchen quickly, and "meowed" loudly again.

When his brother approached the kitchen, he saw him jump on the stove, and pushed the chili powder in the seasoning jar with his paw pad, "Mi."

"Let's go." His brother took down the can of chili powder, carried it out, and shook Yan Xiannian, "Add some chili powder."

Yan Xiannian laughed when he saw it, "You still want to use chemical attack, are those bees really so fierce?"

Xia Lunong gave him a sympathetic look, whether it was fierce or not, you will know when you get to the destination.

This time they didn't drive, they didn't change their animal shape, they just carried buckets over the mountain and walked out.

The watchman on the mountain was startled when he saw them, and asked a few words, Yan Xiannian just laughed, saying that everyone would know when he came back.

The riverside is not far from the base, and they walked for more than an hour to reach their destination.

Both Yan Xiannian and Kong Zhi showed shocking expressions in their eyes.

Yan Xiannian: "I didn't expect there to be so many bees so close to the base. Fortunately, they are quite docile."

Xia Huo's channel: "After all, it's a disaster. It's safer to clean it up earlier."

Yan Xiannian observed from a distance for a while, "It's strange to say that this swarm of bees has never entered the base."

"We don't farm often, so we may not have seen it." Xia Huo channeled, "Besides, not all bees mutate so much, and some species that don't mutate so much don't look so scary, maybe everyone won't care. "

"That too."

There are relatively few mutated animals and plants in the base.

Take plants as an example, the most crops and crops in the base are the crops and crops planted in the field. Before planting each time, the seeds are artificially screened. If the mutation is too obvious and does not seem to be changing in a good direction, these seeds will germinate Being unplugged, there is no chance to grow up at all.

Not to mention animals, except for the fish and livestock raised in the base, some scary-looking mutated animals would be beaten to death as soon as they appeared.

Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu circled around.

Xia Huoqu turned his head to face the sky and said: "Stand back a little, we are going to smoke the bees, if anything goes wrong, you will immediately turn into a golden eagle and take Xiao Nong to fly to the sky."

Kong Zhi nodded, "Be careful too."

"Well, if something goes wrong, we'll change back into beast form in time."

The bees are big, and Xia Huoqu and the others are even bigger.

Thinking of this, Xia Maomao heaved a sigh of relief, and let Kong Zhi hold him back.

There are many dead branches and leaves under the big banyan tree.

Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu picked up a lot of firewood and cleared a fire escape nearby.

They set up four piles of firewood, deliberately folded some raw branches and placed them on top, and sprinkled chili powder on them.

Xia Huoqu turned his head to look at Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi gestured that there was no problem, and Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian lit the fires with a lighter.

These fires were covered with raw branches, and when the flames came up, smoke billowed immediately.

Yan Xiannian pulled Xia Huoqu, "Hurry up, let's stay away and avoid it, otherwise it will be bad for these bees to take revenge."

The four of them met and looked at the smoked beehive from a distance of more than 100 meters.

Even at such a long distance, they still smelled the smoke and the choking spicy smell.

Xia Huoqu sneezed several times in a row.

"Let's go further." Yan Xi said in a young voice, "This time there should be no problem."

Xia Huoqu sneezed back again.

Smoked bees require nothing more than patience.

When the hive was surrounded by thick smoke, the bees were forced to fly away from the nest, but were still hovering nearby.

When the smoke became thicker and the spicy smell became more and more choking, the large group of bees buzzed like a dark cloud and flew away.

The smoke continued. They were afraid that the bees would come back, so they didn't go there for a while. They waited for more than an hour, and the bees were completely gone. The three of them and one cat went under the big banyan tree.

Yan Xiannian sniffled, sniffed vigorously, and said, "I don't smell bees, there shouldn't be a lot of bees nearby."

"Mi." Xia Maomao made a voice of approval.

Three people and one cat carried a bucket and climbed up the tree.

There were bees crawling around on the tree trunk that had been stupefied, and they killed each of them with a machete.

Xia Huoqu warned, "Bees can sting even if they are dead, so don't step on them."

"mum."

The hive was more than ten meters above the ground. Three people and one cat climbed up, and soon found that the whole hive was bigger than they imagined.

The tallest Yan Xiannian stood beside the hive, and his body was not as long as the hive.

"Mistake." Yan Xiannian said, "We should bring a few more barrels over."

"It's almost enough." Xia Huoqu looked around and cut a large piece of honeycomb with a hatchet, only to see that it was full of yellow-brown honey, and it was even squeezed when the hatchet was cutting. , the blades were covered with honey.

Xia Huoqu distributed the honeycomb to Kong Zhi and Yan Xiannian, and broke off a small piece for his brother, then dipped the honey on the blade and licked it lightly.

In an instant, an extremely sweet taste spread on the tip of his tongue, even making his voice a little hoarse because it was so sweet.

After the sweetness, there is a slight sourness of natural honey, and the sourness is accompanied by a faint aroma on the tip of the tongue.

Xia Huoqu turned his head to look at the huge beehive beside him, feeling that this trip was not in vain.

After eating the sweet honey, Xia Maomao's expression became more vivid. His round emerald cat eyes narrowed, his furry face was full of joy, and even the tip of his tail couldn't help moving.

"Mi!" Xia Maomao called to his brother.

Kong Zhi guessed that he liked it, lowered his head and broke off the honeycomb in his hand, squatted down and fed it to Xia Mao Mao's mouth.

Xia Maomao opened his mouth wide, and bit the piece of honeycomb into his mouth with a "owwow".

Under the squeeze of the mouth, the almost paste-like honey flowed out quickly and spread to the whole mouth.

Delicious!

tasty!

Xia Maomao narrowed his eyes again, feeling the beauty of honey flowing over the tip of his tongue.

It's just a little too thick, he can feel the honey slowly flowing down his throat, and then slowly falling into his stomach, arousing a little warmth.

and many more!

warmth? !

Xia Maomao's eyes widened.
