Doomsday Yuan

"Then...do you still want them to process cotton?" Xu Song asked hesitantly after hearing what he said.

Yue Zheng thought about it for a while: "This should be no problem. Even for other people, it is normal to make more supplies for their own use while completing the task, but the amount... I'm afraid it can't be too large. Let's sort it out after we go back later." Let's see how much Mom and Tiancheng Tianyou made before? You can come over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to process."

For entrusted processing, you can directly take the materials to a special entrustment office for entrustment.Although there are also people in the city who take on this kind of processing work privately, and the processing fee is relatively low, but in terms of safety, the official one is more reliable—although the processing fee is very cheap.

The two drove back to the gate of District G, returned the car at the rental place, got back the remaining deposit, and walked back to the two rented spaces.

Open the gate, and after entering, the twins are drying the skins of various prey, large and small, around Mother Xu.

The biggest one is a wolf skin, and the smaller ones are all kinds of skins that have been peeled off by Yue Zheng's hands. There are more than ten pieces, large and small.This does not count the poultry prey, and the untreated white fox.The softer birds had already been pulled out by Xu's mother, and they were being disinfected and cleaned at this time, and they were all going to be dried in the sun for later use.

"Are you back? Have you handed in everything?" Seeing that her two children had returned, Xu's mother asked casually, and then instructed Mo Tiancheng to control Ivy to show off.

"It's over." Xu Song turned around and locked the door.

Yue Zheng walked over a few steps and helped his mother-in-law tidy up those big and small leathers - these things will not be easy to deal with if they are not dried quickly.

Xu Song ran to the door of the RV in a few steps: "Mom, how much cotton did you save from picking out the seeds before? Is it enough to make bedding?"

Xu's mother picked up the little deerskin and touched the fur on it: "It's about five or six catties, right? It's not too much. It's fine for a small thin quilt, not enough for a double quilt."

"It's fine for a while, let's get some more and process them."

Mother Xu responded, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "Where are you going to process?"

"The processing point of the base."

"Then I remember that ten catties deducted one catty?"

"Our team has a discount, up to [-]% off."

"That's expensive enough, it's not worth it."

Xu Song spread his hands: "We outside don't know if it's safe or not..."

Mother Xu shook her head and smiled: "Let me help find someone, I won't cheat us!"

Remembering that his mother had lived in the base for a long time, Xu Song must have known some people, Xu Song nodded: "Okay, after you talk about it, let's rent a car and transport it there later."

Clean the skins one by one, spread them all with ivy, and let them dry.Yue Zheng and Xu Song were dealing with the frozen prey in the yard, as well as the newly caught white fox and big rooster. Xu's mother returned to the car and started making lunch.

The two checked to make sure that the prey were all frozen hard and there was no problem at all. They also treated the white fox fur with salt water and collected the soft rooster feathers before sorting all the prey into a corner of the yard and using Tian Cheng The board made of the planted wood is put on the ground, the bottom layer is covered with a waterproof cloth, and the prey is placed. Finally, the waterproof cloth is covered and the board is pressed to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

"There are so many skins, we definitely won't be able to use them ourselves, sell the rest? Or exchange them for points?" Xu Song stroked the huge wolf skin, which was bigger than the original rabbit skin. Said to cut a piece to make a carpet and put it in front of the sofa in the living room.

It's a pity that the smell of wolf fur is too strong, and the current processing methods are relatively simple, so the smell of making bedding is really too strong.

Yue Zheng looked at the wolf fur, and then at Abu lying beside him: "Why don't you just use it as a quilt for Abu? You can use that white fox fur for the carpet, which is softer than this one."

"Huh? Quilt?" Xu Song was stunned.

"The weather is getting colder and colder in the future, and Abu can't go into the house. If it snows at night, it's too cold for him to spend the night outside..."

Xu Song looked at the tall courtyard walls around, and suddenly said: "Why don't we just build a shed?"

"shed?"

"That's right, a shed that can cover the entire yard!" Xu Song's eyes lit up, "Maybe it will snow in the future, and it may rain in summer, and building a shed in the yard will also give you more privacy , can also block the snow..."

Yue Zheng estimated the situation in the courtyard, and nodded: "Although we have tarps, the quantity is limited, and there will be other uses in the future... Why don't we just go out of the city as soon as possible and bring back more rats. Rat meat can be sold directly Go out, remove the hair from the mouse skin and make a shed."

Xu Song was taken aback by the words "kill more mice", and then nodded, yes, although those things are annoying to me, there is no pressure in my heart if I use their skins to make a shed!

After the two returned to the car, they talked to Xu's mother, and Xu's mother immediately responded: "Then as soon as possible! Just go out of the city again tomorrow! But everything is hanging here..."

"Why don't we go out alone tomorrow." Yue Zheng said suddenly, "The two of us go directly to the city, and then find a car to bring our things back."

"Just the two of you?!" Mother Xu was taken aback, a little worried, "Is that okay? Why don't we go out together."

"We have too many things, and it's unrealistic to take them all out. Brother Yue, Xiaoshu and I can just go out. You, Tiancheng Tianyou and Abu will stay at home and look after the house." Xu Song quickly comforted his mother, " If the two of us move together, the speed will be faster. The tree hole of the small tree can hold a lot of things, so you can make us something convenient to eat on the road. We carry lily of the valley with us. If you have anything to do, you can directly contact .”

Xu's mother could only nod her head in agreement. In fact, most of the families in the base are men who go out of the city to seek a living, and the old, young, women and children stay at home in the base. She is just a little worried about the two children.

Throughout the afternoon, all mobilized to pick cotton seeds together.After a night's rest, the two of them went into battle with light clothes, Xiao Shu was still in Xu Song's pocket, and they only carried a bag on their backs, and they went out of the city together.

This time, the two of them didn't take any missions, they only registered the record of going out of the city, and then headed towards the city.

"By the way, I promised the children to get honey, but I don't think it will be easy to go out in the future." Xu Song looked at the gloomy sky. Last night, the base was windy all night. It has become gloomy, and it seems that there will be a snow in the next few days.

"Then let's go to the south first, and find a car that can drive. Let's go to the south and get some honey." Yue Zheng also looked at the sky and decided to go to the farthest place first. For supplies, try to find a large vehicle."

Xu Song nodded, and the two walked quickly to a building, making sure that the place would not be seen, and then made the small tree bigger, and took out the easily disassembled bicycle parts from its tree hole.

That's right, Xu Song dismantled the two big bicycles in advance and stuffed them into the tree hole of the small tree, planning to use them for temporary transportation after leaving the city.

The two quickly assembled the two cars, made the little tree smaller again, put it in their pockets, put on their gloves and hats, and pedaled southward.

Along the way, in order to avoid encountering other people or any accidents, the two tried to avoid places with people, and chose a relatively short distance from the middle of the urban area to travel south.

It has to be said that City B is really big, especially since the base is located in the north of the city, while they are going to the south of the city, and the two places are exactly opposite each other.

Coupled with the difficulty of walking on the road and the need to avoid large-scale mutant creatures, the speed was much slower than the last time I drove the RV south.

At around twelve o'clock at noon, the two took a break for lunch in the lobby of a bank.

Banks are much safer than other buildings.Because, not only are human beings focusing their attention on supermarkets, grocery stores, and convenience stores after the end of the world, but those mutant creatures also need to eat.There are also various foods they need in supermarkets and food stores.

Xu Song sat on a plastic chair in the bank, ate the sauced meat and biscuits prepared by his mother in advance, and sighed: "I haven't been in such a modern place for a long time."

Yue Zheng smiled and handed him the kettle filled with hot water: "In terms of time, this is the 'before', and the base we are in now is the 'now'."

Xu Song shrugged: "It is estimated that we will live in this seemingly backward 'now' for a long time in the future."

"Drink some hot water, and we have to hurry in the afternoon."

Xu Song just took the kettle, suddenly realized something, looked around, and smiled at Yue Zheng: "Suddenly realized, it seems like it hasn't been like this for a long time, only the two of us came out alone."

Xu Song's original intention was just to sigh with emotion, but Yue Wensheng raised his eyebrows, put his hand on his shoulder, and pulled him into his arms with a little force.

Xu Song looked up at him inexplicably, but saw his face close in front of him.

The warm lips and the familiar breath make people immersed in it all at once, unable to extricate themselves, and unwilling to leave.

Although the two are together every night, they have been too busy and tired during the day these days, so there is almost no time for tenderness at night.Xu Song's emotion aroused Yue Zheng's sympathy, so...the rare two-person world, if you don't cherish it for a while, you will feel sorry for this rare time.

After a long time, the two barely separated, Xu Song's hand was hanging around Yue Zheng's neck, and Yue Zheng's hand had already slipped in from the hem of his clothes... If it wasn't for the cold weather, ahem, someone definitely didn't want to bear it. .

"Swipe, brush, brush."

The two turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw a certain second-hand tree covering its "eyes" with two branches, twisting, twisting, twisting not far away...

Co-authoring is still not considered a two-person world...

The good atmosphere was interrupted by a certain tree, the two had a hasty lunch and set off again.

The sky outside was getting more and more cloudy. It should have been a sunny afternoon, but at this time it looked extraordinarily cloudy, just like evening.

"Fortunately, the battery was fully charged two days ago, otherwise the weather will change suddenly, and even the solar energy will not be able to be used." Xu Song felt that the air he exhaled seemed to have turned into white mist.

"Well, let's move quickly and strive to return to the base within today. At the latest, we must go back before the snow falls heavily."

--------------

In the base, Xu's mother took Tian Cheng and Tian You to continue processing the cotton, and a delicious miscellaneous stew was simmering on the fire.These are the internal organs taken from those prey after this hunting.

When Xu and Song hunted before, because they were afraid that it would not be easy to preserve and there were not many places to store them, they usually threw away the internal organs of their prey.

Now that Xu's mother is here, there is room in the car, so these things are left behind.

Early this morning, Xu's mother let the two children peel cotton to play, cleaned the internal organs thoroughly, and boiled them with various spices.The fragrant smell filled the whole room, causing the two children, as well as Abu who was outside, to look at the fire from time to time.

The pot on the fire was the biggest bite that Yue Zheng's two children had found, but even so, they only cooked a small part of it, and the rest would have to be cooked later.
