Survive through the ancient apocalypse

In the past, the weeds and the like would have withered long ago, and now the vitality of all creatures is more vigorous than before, and only dots of green and purple snow emerge, mixed with withered purple ones. weeds.

Ye Mingze turned his gaze to the trees on the mountain. At first glance, except for the expected purple color, it seemed that there was no difference, but he always felt that it was very inconsistent, and there seemed to be something wrong.Ye Mingze carefully compared the current situation with that before the red rain, and suddenly realized.

Originally, the forests in the mountain range from big to small, from small saplings that have just sprouted to big trees that can be embraced by more than one person.Fortunately, the size ratio of the trees in the mountains has obviously changed, and the big trees that take several years, ten years or even decades to grow account for nearly half.

Ye Mingze got off the wooden ladder, and he needed to look closely to get more information. He didn't think so carefully when he came, and he didn't even bring any tools, so he had to let Chen Fei, who was staying under the courtyard wall, go back to get a rope ladder and a hoe.

With the footsteps of a fifth-level sentinel, it only takes a few breaths to run back and forth.Fade Chen handed over the rope ladder and hoe to Ye Mingze, while he held onto the wooden ladder steadily and watched Ye Mingze climb up the courtyard wall.Fade Chen didn't go back to his room. Since Ye Mingze didn't say anything more, he must be back soon.

The courtyard wall is not far from the mountain forest, and Ye Mingze arrived at the side of the mountain in the blink of an eye.He used a hoe to scrape away the snow near the withered purple weeds, and squatted down to examine it carefully.After reading it, I started to clean up the snow around the surviving weeds. By comparing the two, I found that the soil color of the naturally withered purple weeds was lighter than those around the tenaciously growing grasses, which was not very obvious. It's easy to miss if you don't look carefully.

The weeds grew very sparsely, and there was very little information to be seen, so Ye Mingze turned to the trees in the mountains.Same as before, Ye Mingze cleaned up the snow around the green trees, the small purple trees, and a few big purple trees that were not young at first glance.After comparing the soil colors around these trees one by one, Ye Mingze's result was not very good.

The soil where several specially selected purple trees take root is white, and anyone with long eyes can tell that something is wrong with the color.The farther away from these trees the closer the soil color is to black.In contrast, the soil where the other two trees were roosting was normally black.

In the vicinity of Yejia Village, whether it is fields or forests, they are covered with black soil.In just one or two months, how much nutrients would it take to make the fertile black soil turn white?

These big purple trees were just randomly selected by Ye Mingze. It is conceivable that nearly half of the big trees on the mountain grew wildly after the red rain.The cost of their crazy growth is shortened lifespan and rapid loss of soil fertility. When the soil can no longer provide the nutrients for tree growth, the tree will die naturally.If the soil is fertile enough, trees will also enter the threshold of death when they run out of vitality.

Weeds themselves have a short lifespan. Up to now, all the weeds that have grown wildly have died.Trees have a long lifespan. Except for several-year-old shrubs, trees with a lifespan of more than several decades are still alive and well.Just according to their growth speed, I believe that they will also die soon.

The only good news is that the weather is so cold that the seeds are all dormant.Once the seeds germinate, according to the impact of the red rain on the existing plants, nearly half of the plants will grow wildly, and a new round of soil fertility loss will be inevitable.By analogy, it will not be long before the soil becomes barren wherever plants grow.

Ye Mingze knew the result, but he was helpless.The special substances brought by the red rain can only be completely removed by water-type wood-type and healing abilities, and the proportion of these three attributes of abilities is less than [-]% of human beings.The situation of other creatures is similar to that of human beings, and it is still uncertain whether they will use their abilities to purify these special substances. Humans can only rely on themselves.

For human beings, the trouble caused by red rain is not that the crops grow wildly, but that the crops stop growing.As long as crop growth is handled properly, fertilization and weeding are frequent, the crops are harvested in time when they are mature, and the land is given enough rest time, then the loss of soil fertility will not be too serious.In this way, the impact of plant overgrowth will be minimized.

Faced with the situation that the special substances brought by the red rain caused the crops to stop growing, human beings have nothing to do.There are too few people with the ability to purify the special substances carried by the red rain, and it is only a drop in the bucket to rely on them to purify the fields.

These special substances flow in the soil, although the flow speed is very slow, and when the supernatural beings clean up a field, enough special substances from other places can slowly penetrate.Unless a sufficient number of supernatural beings are concentrated to purify the same field, when the area of ​​the field purified every day is equivalent to the newly influx of special substances, the purification limit of these supernatural beings has been reached. If you want to expand the purification area, you must Ability to advance.

It can be seen from this that the more people with supernatural abilities are purified, the larger the area of ​​the field that can be purified.That is to say, the number of purifiers will determine the number of acres of purified fields that people can obtain.Of course, if the purification continues in this way, the concentration of special substances in the surrounding soil will gradually be diluted, and the area of ​​the field that can be purified by the same number of supernatural beings will slowly increase.

Just judging from the purification speed of the few fruit trees in his yard, the growth rate of the field area after purification can be called a tortoise speed, and Ye Mingze did not dare to place much hope on this.

Since it is not very effective to directly purify the field, the simplest method can only be adopted, which is to isolate the soil.Just like the Ye family’s greenhouse, you can put the soil in a box or spread it on stones. As long as the soil is separated into small pieces and connected with other soil, the soil obtained after purification will be clean and crops can grow on it normally.

The traces of special substances contained in the air have very little impact on crops and can be ignored.This is the conclusion drawn from the normal growth of crops in Ye's greenhouse.

After checking, Ye Mingze didn't stay long and returned quickly.

He didn't go home directly, but came to the village chief's house.Ye Mingze informed the village head of this situation, and the village head frowned after hearing this, with a bitter expression on his face.There are some winter vegetables grown in the village, all of which are garlic and leeks. In previous years, many of them would die when the weather was coldest.This year's temperature is lower than in previous years. Most of these vegetables died. The villagers thought they were frozen to death. No one could think of such a reason.

After what Ye Mingze said, the village chief also took a look through the snow, and found that the soil around half of the trees in his yard was exactly as Ye Mingze said.The village chief no longer took chances, and sent his highest-ranking sentinel to notify the villagers from door to door.

When the villagers heard the news, they exploded instantly. God hadn't tormented them for a few years, and they did this again. Could it be that they were trying to drive them to a dead end?It's still the winter break, and it's freezing outside, so the villagers can only worry at home.

After Ye Mingze got home, he didn't hide anything, and told everyone in the Ye family the information he got.After hearing this, the Ye family was quite calm. The greenhouse at home gave them hope. The fields cannot be planted, so can they be planted in places like greenhouses?

Ye Mingze is not so optimistic, he thinks more.If there is no more red rain in the future, then the mountains and forests can last longer.The special substance is slowly cleaned up, and one day it will be cleaned up.If the red rain continued, the mountains and forests would be completely hopeless, and the fields would not be spared in the end.

The [-] sentinel guides that the Ye family bought at the beginning had a lot of benefits. Not only did they get [-] one-to-one sentinel guides who were awakened to level three, but half of these people had supernatural powers.People with supernatural powers come from sentinel guides, accounting for nearly [-]% of human beings, and among the first batch of awakened sentinel guides, one out of every two is a supernatural person.Therefore, the Ye family not only has a high proportion of sentinel guides, but also a high proportion of supernatural beings.

Even so, after the Ye family had a greenhouse, they didn't have much spare energy to purify the fields.If the Ye family is like this, the situation of other families in the Ye family village will only be worse.Special substances can only be removed by people with purification abilities such as wood, water, and healing.

Each household in Yejia Village has as few as three or five people, and as many as twenty or thirty people, and each family has at most two or three people with supernatural powers, and they may not necessarily have the ability to purify.It takes time and effort to purify the isolated soil, and there is no extra power to purify the field.

This is a plan after careful consideration.If the villagers don't want to separate the soil and just want to purify their own fields for planting, then I'm sorry, the food produced by the purified land is probably not enough for the whole family to chew.

There are not many choices that people can make. They can either divide the soil into small pieces like Ye Jiajian built a greenhouse, or simply plow the field once, and lay stone slabs at a depth of half a meter to two meters below the soil, and then re- Cover with soil.

If you choose the second method, then you have to face a troublesome problem-rain and snow.After laying stone slabs, the accumulated water in the soil cannot infiltrate naturally, and a large amount of water will be deposited in the soil, and the crops will be easily killed by waterlogging.

In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to build a canopy on the field-the kind that can really cover the rain without leaking and is strong.In this way, it is not much different from starting a house.To be able to bear the weight of snow, isn't it equivalent to building a roof?

The villagers were thinking about it, it was still too early for the weather to warm up, and they had plenty of time to consider the next plan.

Ye Mingze only stayed outside for less than two quarters of an hour. Even though he was wearing thick leather gloves and thick leather boots, his hands and feet were still icy cold when he got home.This is still Ye Mingze, who is a fifth-level sentinel. If he were replaced by someone with less physical fitness, he would not know what he would suffer.

Now no matter who it is, as long as they go out for more than 5 minutes, they have to wear three layers of clothes inside and outside.Even with Ye Mingze's physique as a fifth-level sentinel, he couldn't afford to wear a few less.However, having a good physique is not without its benefits. Although someone like Ye Mingze is dressed like everyone else, at least he can spend more time outdoors than others before frostbite.

The clothes were thick, so it was not so easy to take them off. Jiang Jingzhi immediately got off the kang to help when he saw it.After taking off his coat, Ye Mingze can handle the rest by himself.Jiang Jingzhi picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot water, and put it on the kang table.After Ye Mingze got on the kang, he was able to warm his hands and moisten his throat at the same time.

Ye Mingze held the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and said, "Respect, Brother Lin, Brother Cai, I thought before that the herbivorous beasts would go crazy after eating the plants polluted by the red rain, and wait for them to eat all the plants that are immune to the pollution of the red rain." After the plants are grown, they must eat the polluted plants every day.

Dyed weed leaves.Among them, only a few have the ability to purify, and they cannot purify the entire group.In this way, many herbivorous beasts must have maintained a manic and violent mood.Carnivorous beasts eat these crazy herbivorous beasts, and they will also be agitated and crazy

Crazy, it is estimated that many beasts have been unable to control their emotions by now.When the trees also die in large numbers, and the food chain of the beasts begins to break down, how many animals will survive by then?The sun has killed a large number of plants before, and the animals have declined sharply.despite this

The number of beasts has increased a lot in the past year, and compared with the original, the gap is still not small.If it happens again this year, it is estimated that there will be no animals in ten.These are just beasts in the mountains and forests, and the ocean probably won't be spared either.Terrestrial beasts can also eat a small amount of normal plants and small

Animals and marine organisms live directly in seawater containing special substances. Only sea beasts and fish with purification abilities can guarantee the normal survival of a small number of fish and beasts.There are so many marine organisms, when special substances accumulate to a certain extent, they will go crazy.After going mad, they are very aggressive, and the marine life will fight to the death, and it won't take long for the marine life to drop sharply. "

"Well, Mingze, what you said makes sense. Seafood is the most eaten meat in our family. After the dried seafood reserves are exhausted, we must go fishing. If most of the fish caught are crazy fish, shrimps and crabs, Then I don’t know how long it will take to purify? Can our purifiers return

There are other uses, not many powers can be used to purify food.This is secondary, the primary question is whether it can be caught.The group of whales where Killer Whale No. [-] is located doesn't know what's going on now. If something goes wrong with them, the waters near Yejia Village will be unsafe.plus a lot

Sea creatures go berserk to the point of extreme attack, and going to sea can become very dangerous.For a long-term plan, it is best to start reducing everyone's seafood consumption now. "Jiang Jingzhi's thinking is meticulous, and the suggestions he put forward are very practical.

"Well, let's discuss how much seafood to eat every day is more appropriate? You can't reduce too much at once, and let everyone have a process of adaptation." The Ye family can eat seafood every meal, and if seafood suddenly becomes expensive , It is estimated that everyone's heart will be empty.Ye Mingze planned to proceed step by step.

"Halve it, cut it in half for each meal or choose one of lunch and dinner to cancel the supply of seafood. Mingze, you treat me so well, the food is only slightly worse than ours, and it is much better than other families in the village. Yes. I heard that most people in the village have two meals a day during the winter break.

We have three meals a day here, not to mention meat every few days, and we always serve a bowl of seafood, which is not a small bowl, but a big bowl.It's enough for you to treat the servants, if they are not satisfied, they really deserve to be struck by lightning. "When Lin Wenjue first arrived in Yejia Village, he walked around the village every day and learned a lot of information.

Cai Jin's thinking is similar to Lin Wenjue's.Jiang Jingzhi and Ye Mingze have lived together for several years, and they have gradually moved closer to each other in some aspects.At first he didn't agree very much, but after getting used to it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with being a servant like this.When Lin Wenjue spoke now, he realized that the Ye family still had this problem.

In a normal year, Ye Mingze would definitely not be so unique.It is precisely because it is different now, if the servants are not fed, clothed and warm, how can they have the strength to work, and how can they have the force they have today?

However, Lin Wenjue's suggestion is acceptable, not only because of the difficulty of capturing wild marine life, but also because of the cold climate.Who knows when the temperature will warm up. If the temperature remains low, they would not dare to go to sea against the bitter cold wind.

Ye Mingze sent Fade Chen to inform the village head of their new conclusions, and the servants of the Ye family explained in more detail.The servants are used to living a hard life, and they all know that life is easy and smooth, so they won't be so ignorant that they have to eat fish for every meal.It was easy for them to accept what Ye Mingze said, and then they just complained to God, why didn't they stop?The servants couldn't help sighing: When did such a disaster end!

"Hey, can I raise sea fish, shrimp, and crab? I see that there are freshwater fish, shrimp, and crab in the pond. Can we do the same for seafood?" Cai Jin wondered.

"You can try it. After the baptism of the past few years, the vitality of organisms is much stronger than before. Maybe the seafood can really be fed by us." Fishing was relatively easy in the past, and Ye Mingze never considered artificial breeding. Now He was also helpless when he was forced to try.

"Our family has a seawater pool, but it is only for planting crystal plants, and there is no seafood in it. When you go out to sea in the future, you can put some seafood for trial breeding first." Speaking of breeding seafood, Jiang Jingzhi immediately thought of his own field The southernmost seawater pool.

"I don't know what the condition of those marine crystal plants is now. I want to dig out the crystal plants inside when the temperature is high enough to go into the water, and raise them in wooden barrels or newly built small ponds. Wooden barrels and ponds It doesn't need to be too big, as long as you can raise a crystal plant. These crystal plants

They all lived at least tens of meters deep at the bottom of the sea. We can put them in the house, so the light will not be strong, which is similar to their original living environment, and maybe they will grow better. "Ye Mingze knew that before the water in the pool froze, the growth of crystal plants in seawater was not very good. He was quite satisfied with this. After all, the living environment has changed, and it is not easy for crystal plants to survive.

Ye Mingze wanted to pick up the marine crystal plants and replant them, not only for this reason, but also to prevent the temperature from being too low, making it difficult to pick the crystal fruits in the water.We still don't know the ripening cycle of the crystal fruit. If it matures during the winter break, although the crystal fruit will not fall off naturally, it will still delay the growth of the next season's crystal fruit. One season less picking is equivalent to one less harvest.Ye Mingze was naturally unwilling to do this loss-making business.

Everyone agrees with this.

Jiang Jingzhi thought for a while, and said: "Keep them in the house, and the wood-type powers and water-type powers can occasionally cast a few powers on Haisheng Jingzhi. How much worse is it in the seawater pool."

"Wow!" Jiahui's crying startled Ye Mingze and the others.

The two little guys were fine and rarely cried. They cried for no reason, either because they were hungry or peed.

Jiang Jingzhi hurriedly picked him up, and saw that it was indeed the case, Jiahui urinated all over.In order to prevent the two sons from urinating on the kang, the diapers were wrapped in two layers, the inner layer was tucked into the trousers, and the outer layer was tied outside the trousers with thin straps.In this way, except for the occasional outer diaper being rubbed off and soiling the swaddle, it is clean at other times.

Swaddling can be avoided, but pants are unavoidably dirty most of the time.Jiang Jingzhi was used to this, and took off the diaper without changing his expression.Ye Mingze didn't just stand around and not help, the two had a clear division of labor.He first checked Tan Jiayao's diaper, and when he found that he hadn't urinated, he picked up the little guy and got him off the kang to urinate for him, and then stuffed it back into the swaddle.Afterwards, without resting, he took the hot water on the stove and mixed it with warm water, and brought it to the edge of the kang.

Holding Jiahui in his arms, Jiang Jingzhi leaned half of his body out of the kang.Ye Mingze soaked the fine cotton cloth in warm water, twisted it a little, and gently wiped Jiahui's little butt with the slightly damp cotton cloth.The little guy was taken care of comfortably, no longer crying, and rarely unwrapped, his little hands and feet began to move around restlessly.

Fortunately, the feet were held by Jiang Jingzhi's hands, and they could not move much.The waving of his hands made it more difficult for his two fathers to wipe their buttocks.The little guy didn't feel any guilt about this, who made him so young that he didn't remember anything?

For this reason, Ye Mingze had to keep one hand free to hold down the little guy.After washing the little one, Jiang Jingzhi took off all the soiled trousers of the eldest son, and put on clean ones again.After all the tossing and tossing was over, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed.

The two little guys were lying on the kang and were still yelling, as if they were protesting that the two fathers would not feed them.Ye Mingze had been prepared for a long time. Before mixing warm water, he removed the kettle on the stove and replaced it with warm milk.At this time, the milk has been warmed up, and it can be used to feed the two little cats.

It seems that I am really hungry, and the little ones eat in a hurry.Every time I finish drinking a spoonful, I just stare at the milk in the bowl, wishing I could drink it all in one gulp.Of course Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi couldn't do this, the sons were too young to feed them a lot, so they had to patiently feed them small spoonfuls.It's not just the little guys who are anxious. If it weren't for their own children, the two fathers would have grown impatient.

After the feeding was finally finished, after the two sons burped and the milk stopped overflowing, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi stuffed the sons back into the bed again.The little ones were wrapped in swaddling clothes, and they could only protest with a "ahhhhhhhhhhhh" sound, but there was nothing they could do about it with their fathers.

There was no response to the call, Jiahui Jiayao could only roll his black eyes and look around, quite enjoying himself.

Since having the twins, the house has become very lively whenever they are awake, and they can entertain themselves even when no one is teasing them.

Seeing that the little brothers had nothing to do, Lin Xiu stepped forward and walked around them, touching their cheeks with his little hands from time to time, or saying something to them that adults could not understand.The three children got along very well, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Lin Xiu is very quiet, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi are not worried that he will accidentally hurt their sons with heavy hands.They did not look at the child all the time, only once in a while.

The conversation just now was interrupted by Jiahui Jiayao, after busying with the two little guys, the conversation continued.

"Mingze, respectfully, the livestock at home should be killed as little as possible. It will be difficult to go hunting in the mountains in the future. If you want to eat meat, you will have to rely on them. Fortunately, we have more livestock and it is easier to reproduce. When the weather is warmer, people can After a long time outdoors, our best

It can expand the scale of farming, so that there is no need to worry about not being able to eat meat. "Lin Wenjue came from a great family. Although he pays attention to the way of self-cultivation, he is not a person who does not like meat, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat meat for a meal or two. He can't bear it after a long time. How can he eat meat for a long time without interruption?"

For meat, he racked his brains to come up with such a method.

"Well, that's a good idea. The grain and vegetables produced by the six-acre floor heating house at home are not enough for the whole family to chew. I'm planning to expand the greenhouse next year. After hearing what you said, I need to build more barns. It's not just a shortage of meat. , Next year, it is estimated that even seafood will not be able to eat very much, and raising livestock and seafood will become an inevitable trend, or else I will really be a vegetarian all day long." There are many people, and the thinking is broad.Ye Mingze agreed with Lin Wenjue's method very much.

Lin Wenjue looked serious, and said solemnly: "Then we really need to plan carefully. Are you planning to build all the greenhouses?"

"Let's build a part first. The field is nearly [-] mu, and there are only so many laborers in the house. I'm afraid I can't build it in a short time. Besides, if all the greenhouses are built, who knows if the weather will suddenly become hot? If that's the case, Unless the house built is warm in winter and cool in summer, the crops will be choked to death.” After all, Ye Mingze has been in charge of the family for a long time, and he is in charge of a large company in modern times. Will stay behind.

"The six-acre pasture in the backyard can build some more barns. The specific number of buildings should be discussed with the breeders before making a decision. If you want everyone in the family to eat meat, these quantities are obviously not enough, and you have to draw from the field. Part of it is used for breeding. Chicken growth cycle

It is short and has a small appetite. It can eat meat and provide a lot of eggs. It will be very cost-effective to raise it. "Jiang Jingzhi has never raised chickens himself. When he knew that his family would grow crops and raise livestock for a living, he observed carefully and had a general understanding of the growth cycles of various livestock in the family. It was time to apply what he had learned. .

"Hehe, we can't help with these. We have never even seen many of the livestock in our house before. Now, we have gained a lot of knowledge." Speaking of specific operations, what is good to raise and how many to raise, Lin Wenjue and Cai Jin's eyes were darkened, and they couldn't make effective suggestions at all.
