Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Xia Lunong and the others had to prepare what they were going to bring this time before going out.

It's already September [-]th, the autumn wind is picking up, and it's a bit cold at night. First, I need to prepare a batch of warm clothes, and then I need to bring daily food.

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi counted together, "Bring more noodles with chili sauce, dried tomatoes, etc.? Then bring peanuts and soybeans. Now I can quickly produce peanut sprouts and bean sprouts. It is very convenient to carry."

Kong Zhi: "Bring more honey."

"Sure, I'll go upstairs and have a look."

The honey they took back last time was piled up on the second floor and packed in clay pots.

The honey they received last time was of much better quality than the first time when all the honey was mixed together.

They directly took back the entire hive, and the honey inside was divided very finely, the water honey and the cooked honey were completely separated, and now the water honey was eaten first.

The energy in honey is not so sufficient, and Xia Lunong, which is usually used to make honey water, does not feel distressed.

Xia Lunong took a plastic jar to seal the honey, and covered the mouth of the jar with plastic wrap, tried her best to wrap it up, shook it, and put it away after making sure it wouldn't come out.

The same is true for the rest of the materials, which are all tied up with ropes and wrapped with a layer of plastic film to ensure that they will not seep through water or be damaged due to bumps.

When Xia Huoqu came back at night, he checked the supplies he had packed, and reminded: "You can bring more honey."

"Aren't two jars enough?" Xia Lunong found out the plastic jar containing honey, "Two jars of honey are more than 1000 milliliters."

"Not enough, we may go out for a long time this time, and we may encounter more things, so bring more to be prepared." Xia Huo channeled, "Bailou is already researching bees, and it is estimated that we will have honey to eat next year. It doesn't matter if you bring more."

Xia Lunong nodded, and asked curiously: "Then I'll get some more tomorrow. How many people are there in this trip? Is there any special saying?"

Xia Huoqu glanced at Yan Xiannian.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, Yan Xiannian took the initiative to take over the conversation, "About 30 people, didn't we receive letters from other bases a while ago? This time, taking advantage of free time, everyone made an appointment to go out together and check Explore the nearby situation and see if you can find a way to directly contact other bases."

Xia Lunong didn't expect to have this purpose for going out this time, so she immediately cheered up, "Then I'll take two more cans of honey. Who will go out with us, brother Xi Nian, can you tell me?"

"The four of us must go out. Ba Niu, who you have dealt with before, is also there, and Lao Liu and the others will follow. For safety, Dr. Ou will also follow. There are also a few female members you have not had much contact with. .”

It was the first time that Xia Lunong heard that she was going out with a female member since she woke up, "Is it convenient?"

"It's okay, let's get over it. There are also a few female members who are particularly skilled. I'll know when I see you in two days."

Xia Lunong was really looking forward to it.

When preparing supplies, he carefully prepared some medicines, including a box of painkillers for dysmenorrhea.

Xia Lunong prepared everything, only to realize that Kong Zhi seemed to be in a bad mood.

He bumped Kong Zhi's foot lightly, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you, why do you feel that you are not in a good mood?"

Kong Zhi looked up at him, "Are you happy to go out with the female players?"

"It's okay." Xia Lunong raised her eyes, a little dazed, "Didn't you say that working with men and women is not tiring? Dr. Ou is also here, she is my benefactor, I feel very happy going out with her, are you unhappy? "

"Unhappy." Kong Zhi turned his head and said calmly, "Seeing how you are full of women and forget about your brothers, how can I be happy?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Xia Lunong became anxious, "Hey, I've been wronged! How could a woman forget my brother?"

Kong Zhi and Xia Lunong looked at each other, "I am more important or Doctor Ou?"

"You you you! It must be you! You are my brother!"

After Xia Lunong finished speaking, she realized belatedly, bumped Kong Zhi with her elbow, and asked, "Kong Zhi, are you jealous?"

Kong Zhi pushed him away, "Go away."

"I'm not leaving, you're just jealous." Xia Lunong put her arms around his shoulders and asked curiously, "I never thought you would be jealous before, is friendship exclusive?"

"No." Kong Zhi looked at him with both eyes, and said almost word by word, "I just think you are very important."

Xia Lunong has not yet reacted, "I also think you are very important, very important, besides my brother, you and the old brother are ranked first in my mind."

"That's tied for second place." Kong Zhi sneered, and seemed to be in a bad mood again, he pushed Xia Lunong lightly, pushing him away, "Sluggish guy."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Xia Lunong was at a loss.

Kong Zhi seems really angry, and doesn't even look like he wants to talk to him.

The whole afternoon and one night, the two of them were doing their own thing, and they didn't even meet their eyes.

To be precise, Kong Zhi didn't want to have any contact with Xia Lunong.

Xia Huoqu saw something was wrong, and asked Xia Lunong privately, "What happened between you two?"

"Nothing happened. I just said a few words when I was sorting out the supplies. I felt that the atmosphere was pretty good at the time, and there was no quarrel. I don't know why it happened like this."

Xia Lunong was a little aggrieved as she spoke, as if she was left out in the cold for no reason.

Xia Huo channel: "You tell me the original words of your conversation today."

Xia Lunong has been thinking about why Kong Zhi was angry today, and she remembers this conversation very clearly.

He repeated it as it was, and said again: "Brother, help me analyze it, what's wrong with it? Obviously there is no problem!"

Xia Huoqu glanced at him, "Do you have any special insights into the relationship between the two of you?"

Xia Lunong was at a loss, "Is there any special insight, aren't we really good buddies?"

After Xia Lunong said this, she thought of something, "Brother, what do you mean by special insight? You don't think Kong Zhi likes me, do you?"

Xia Lunong has been very good-looking since she was a child, and she has been in love all the way, there are boys and girls.

He is quite experienced in being chased, not too slow.

But looking left and right, it doesn't look like Kong Zhi is chasing him.

Xia Huoqu didn't give an exact answer, but only said to him: "Think for yourself."

Xia Lunong really thought about it, he not only wondered whether Kong Zhi liked him, but also whether he liked Kong Zhi.

It's just that at night, he still hasn't figured out why.

The atmosphere between the two was weird.

Xia Lunong thinks that Kong Zhi likes him, and he deliberately avoids suspicion when speaking and doing things.

Yan Xiannian couldn't bear to see it, and deliberately asked him in private, "What happened between the two of you, did you suddenly break up?"

"No!" Xia Lunong quickly waved her hand, "Nothing, we are pretty good."

"Then talk about it quickly." Yan Xiannian warned, "We are about to set off, and there are many dangers outside. If there is a conflict, it will have a great impact on both sides, and it is easy to cause accidents. It is really impossible for you to stay in the base alone and don't go out with you. gone."

Xia Lunong said vaguely: "Understood, I will talk to Kong Zhi."

"Hurry up!"

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi live together, only the two of them are there at night, it is quite easy to find an opportunity.

Xia Lunong dawdled for a long time, and always felt that it was quite embarrassing to suddenly bring up this topic.

But it is true as his brother said in the past, he is about to go out now, and conflicts should not be taken to the wild.

After dinner, his brother and his previous brother went back to the house to rest.

Kong Zhi was taking a bath, Xia Lunong was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a towel and wiping her hair casually, her eyes were always looking at the door of the bathroom.

Kong Zhi took a shower very quickly, and the bathroom door opened with a "click" within a few minutes.

Xia Lunong jumped up from the sofa, looked at Kong Zhi's figure, and shrank back a bit.

Kong Zhi's eyes fell on him, he took a few steps closer, and said, "Why?"

Xia Lu swallowed heavily, "We need to talk."

Kong Zhi sat across from him, "Okay, let's talk. What are you talking about?"

"We, let's make sure of one thing first." Xia Lunong didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and said, "You said I was slow, and I want to know what you mean by the slowness."

Kong Zhi said directly: "It refers to our relationship."

Xia Lunong felt that he already knew the truth, he grabbed the clothes on his waist, subconsciously wanted to escape, and then desperately called himself to stop him from escaping.

He said harshly, "Is it the relationship I imagined? A relationship beyond friendship."

Seeing his almost nowhere to dodge, Kong Zhi admitted, "Yes. I'm not angry because of the exclusivity of friendship, nor because of jealousy."

Kong Zhi gave the answer directly, "It's just because I like you."

Just because I like you-!

Xia Lunong's eyes straightened, his eyes glanced over Kong Zhi's face, and fell on the opposite sofa, feeling a thunderbolt directly beside his ears.

He suspected that he had heard it wrong, but he knew clearly that he was right.

"Well, I, you, I don't know—"

Xia Lunong was incoherent, he scratched his short hair vigorously, "Hey, that, I don't know what to say, I haven't considered this issue before, so I haven't considered the issue between us."

Kong Zhi's eyes lingered on his face, not letting go of any of his expressions.

Kong Zhi said: "I know you didn't think about it, you can think about it now."

Xia Lunong's ears were burning, "I don't like boys, hey, no, I never thought I could like boys."

Kong Zhi suddenly stretched out his hand, touched his earlobe lightly, and said, "It's red, it's not convincing."

Xia Lunong raised her eyes, facing the staring gaze above.

Kong Zhi's eyes were very focused, as if there was nothing else in his eyes except him.

Xia Lunong was about to cry, she shrank back to the sofa, holding the small towel to cover her chest, "My mind is very messed up now, don't tease me."

"I won't flirt with you." Kong Zhi took a step back, his voice hoarse, "You don't hate me, and you don't hate men's touch. You just haven't gotten used to it yet. We have a lot of time, you can think about it slowly, Think it through."

Xia Lunong rubbed her arm and said seriously: "Okay, I will think about it carefully."

After saying this, he said again: "Can I ask why you like me? Did you like boys before?"

"I haven't thought about it." Kong Zhi said lightly, "I haven't thought about falling in love before, and I haven't liked anyone, I don't know."

"Then—" Xia Lunong hesitated, "Can I ask again, do you like me because I'm good-looking? Or is it because of something else?"

Kong Zhi's eyes darkened, and he asked back: "Do you think I'm the kind of person whose mind is not clear?"

Xia Lunong shook her head.

Afraid that he could not explain clearly, he carefully considered his words, "I used to meet many boys who confessed to me just because I was good-looking."

As he said that, he was a little frustrated, "The skin is actually not that important. We have been roommates for so long, and you should know me a little bit. My nature is actually average, lazy and greedy, and a little squeamish. "

After listening patiently, Kong Zhi asked, "Which do you think Huo Quge or Yan Dui is not as good-looking as you?"

Xia Lunong blushed, feeling that she was indeed a little overwhelmed.

Kong Zhi said: "As you said, we have lived together for so long, no matter how beautiful your skin is, it should be immune to it. My heart for you has nothing to do with your skin, I just like you."

Xia Lunong coughed lightly.

Kong Zhi looked at him, "It's getting late, go back to sleep first. You can think about this question slowly, and answer me after you think it through."

Xia Lunong was very confused now, she really couldn't answer him, so she nodded.

"Xia Lunong." When Xia Lunong was about to return to the room, Kong Zhi stopped him again, "Anyway, I hope you will give me a chance to chase you."

Xia Lunong didn't know what to say, nodded vaguely, and quickly fled into the room.

He didn't think about it before, and he acted relatively slow.

Now that the window paper has been torn, and looking back, there are flaws in every aspect.

Kong Zhi has such an independent personality, and he has lived with him for so long, how could he feel that the two of them are pure good buddies?

Xia Lunong leaned on her arm, looked at the ceiling for a long time, and finally sighed.

When he woke up the next day, there were two big black spots hanging under his eyes, and he looked very haggard.

Seeing Kong Zhi, his mood has stabilized, and he didn't feel too shy. He just raised his hand and greeted the other party, "Morning."

"Morning." Kong Zhi said lightly, "The mouthwash has been installed for you, and the face wash is also placed outside. Do you like this temperature? Do you want it to be higher or lower tomorrow?"

"Ah?" Xia Lu heard his words, dozed off and ran away, her eyes widened, she turned her head left and right to look outside, seeing that the two elder brothers were not there, she hurriedly took two steps forward, walked up to Kong Zhi and lowered her voice, " I'm not a girl, so I don't need to be so meticulous!"

Kong Zhi pushed him lightly and asked him to go out to brush his teeth, "It's like chasing people, trying to make you feel warm."

"There's no need to do this, the warmth is too scary. I can't bear it." Xia Lunong rubbed her arms and emphasized again, "I'm not a girl, so don't do this to me!"

"Really not?"

Xia Lunong was categorical, "No need."

Kong Zhi nodded, looked at him, and asked in a low voice: "Then which one do you like? I'll chase you in another way."

Xia Lunong misfired for a moment.

Xia Lunong has been chased by countless people since he was a child, and he has experienced all kinds of courteous techniques.

But he really doesn't know which one he likes.

He reiterated to Kong Zhi again that there is no need to chase him like a girl, he especially loves that kind of fleshy and abnormal looking things.

Kong Zhi agreed.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian will come over soon.

Xia Huoqu found that the atmosphere between his younger brother and Kong Zhi had changed again. It was not as stiff as yesterday, and the atmosphere of a good brother who had not fully recovered. It looked a bit weird, but it was hard to tell. What is so strange.

Xia Huoqu asked one more question, "What are you doing? Have you made it clear?"

Xia Lunong pretended to be stupid, "Ah? What's wrong?"

His brother looked straight at him.

Xia Lunong felt that his whole being was seen through, he scratched his head, and whispered: "Kong Zhi likes me and is chasing me. I am a little confused now, and I don't know how to respond."

Xia Huoqu asked, "Then do you like him?"

"I can't tell." Xia Lunong whispered, "Actually, I thought about this issue yesterday. We seem to be much closer than friends. I would be very reluctant to break this relationship, but if When we are together, I feel weird again."

He frowned and said, "I haven't considered the option of being with boys before."

Xia Huo channel: "You can think about it slowly. Being together may be a lifetime thing. It doesn't matter if you think about it for a while before answering."

"I thought so too. I told him, and he said he wanted to chase me." Xia Lunong said, "I've never imagined him chasing someone."

Xia Huo channel: "Now you can watch directly."

Xia Lunong nodded, looked at his brother again, and realized later, "I thought you would object. Brother, why don't you object at all? And give us some advice, logically speaking, you shouldn't beat the mandarin duck with a club ?"

"You want me to beat mandarin ducks?"

Without even thinking about it, Xia Lunong quickly shook her head.

Xia Huoqu snorted, "They are all people who have died once, what more can you ask for? In this world, I only hope that you are safe and happy, and everything else can stand back."

Xia Lunong didn't know what to say for a while, she hugged his brother, resting her chin on his shoulder, her face was a little red.

Xia Huoqu let him hug him for a long time, a smile flashed in his eyes, "How old are you, why do you still like acting like a baby?"

The atmosphere between Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi eased, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, they were finally about to set off.

Early in the morning, the truck drove to the door of the house, and they moved the prepared things into the truck.

Xia Lunong specially prepared a small notebook, carried one item to the car, ticked the notebook, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was not missing.

"Brother, let's go out for ten days, right?"

"Yes, according to the original plan, we will come back in about ten days. If we don't make it in time, the Bailou and property management will help us manage the affairs in the base, so don't worry too much."

Xia Lunong said: "I'm not worried at all, it's just the plants in the ground and the small pepper trees, especially the small pepper trees."

Looking at the prickly ash tree in the corner of the yard, Xia Lunong felt like raising a child. It took so long to go out this time, and it was really not reassuring to hand the child into someone else's hands.

Xia Huo's channel: "If it doesn't work, there is Liao Cheng, he will help us take care of it. Seriously, you don't take Xia Huajiao out? I think it really wants to go out with us."

"Brother, didn't you say that we are going to the big city this time? There are so many dangers in the big city. If you take it out, one of them will not be watched. What should you do if it encounters danger? We are fast like a beast, and when the time comes, we will just run away. Jumping and bouncing, how can there be time?"

Xia Huoqu had no objection, "You should do a good job of comforting yourself, and then don't make any mistakes?"

Xia Lunong was confident, "No problem, I've already told it, and it agreed."

Xia Huoqu was not optimistic, and said: "I just saw that you coaxed it, it may not really understand what we mean by leaving this time, and it may not be able to wait that long."

Xia Lunong said: "Then I'll talk to it again."

Xia Huoqu's judgment was correct, Xia Lunong and Huajiaoshu had communicated well, and when they went out, Huajiaoshu still refused to let him go, and the roots held Xia Lunong's clothes to prevent him from leaving.

That is to say, trees don't cry. If trees could cry, the pepper tree would be rolling around on the ground.

Xia Lunong experienced the difficulties of raising children in advance.

In the end, Yan Xiannian said, "Why don't you take him with you, if you can't let it stay on the truck, as long as the card is not lost, nothing will happen to the pepper tree."

Kong Zhi said lightly from the side, "I'll help you look at it, I'm here."

Xia Lunong frowned, and turned to stare at him, "Don't say such things, don't plant flags!"

Xia Lunong's appearance was particularly fierce, her brows were wrinkled, and she was a little more frightening.

Kong Zhi paused for two seconds, "I see."

They finally took the pepper tree.

We drove five cars, a total of 37 people, divided into three teams.Among them were Ba Niu, Cong Lian, Luo Congxin, Zhang Shihai, Liao Quannan, Dr. Ou, and several women.

Yan Xiannian also brought the cannon barrel and guns with him.

From here, Xia Lunong could already feel that the atmosphere of going out this time was different.

He was very disturbed.

Xia Huo's channel: "Don't scare yourself, we have rested for so long, among other things, we always have the ability to escape."

Xia Lunong rubbed her cheek vigorously, "I see."

Their car is going pretty fast.

It's autumn outside now.

Driving all the way, the surrounding scenery has changed, especially the leaves on both sides of the road have long been yellow.

Many trees have lost their leaves, and it feels a bit bleak in the autumn wind.

Xia Lunong has a plant ability, and seeing this scene, she feels somewhat strange.

He is often associated with plants, and now he can empathize with the life process of withering and dormancy with plants, which makes him feel a little depressed.

They are already familiar with the scenery around the base. They have been out frequently in the past six months, and there is nothing new about the surroundings.

Xia Lunong kept looking into the distance.

It wasn't until after the car drove for a day that he felt that the surrounding scenery had changed, and the surrounding area was no longer a place they were familiar with.

Yan Xiannian explained: "This time we are going to a relatively far place. It will take at least two days to drive. Generally speaking, we will go to the southwest. If you see the new Huashan Mountain, you will probably arrive at your destination."

"Aren't there any bases near here? What if there is a base here that we haven't found, and they are there first, and they have scoured all the supplies?"

Yan Xinian smiled, "Do you have a feeling for a new base near here?"

Xia Lunong really felt it for a while, and tried to use his dark premonition. After feeling it for a long time, he felt that there should be no new base in this direction. He felt that going out this time would be very rewarding.

He told Yan Xiannian his answer.

Yan Xi Nian said: "I don't think so either. Although we don't have your inspiration, but after staying in the wild for a long time, we often see all kinds of animals and plants, and we can find out the surrounding situation from some subtle traces."

Xia Lunong's eyes showed curiosity.

Yan Xinian said: "You can also take a look this time around, let's see how we discover all kinds of things from the technical aspect, Xiao Nong, you rely too much on your inspiration, it's not bad, It's just that sometimes we need something else. Inspiration is not enough if you want to be a great hunter."

Xia Lunong nodded thoughtfully, turned her head, but stared at the sky again.

Kong Zhi was looking at him, Xia Lunong felt her heart beating a little faster.
