If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

Liu Jiao didn't know the story behind that bowl of noodles, she just found that the Xia family's attitude towards her was inexplicably much kinder.

It's not that she was treated badly in the past, she was a single girl in the past, except for occasionally meeting Mrs. Xia and Qiao Niang, she would say a few more words, and getting along with the rest of the Xia family was mediocre, that is, she had a lot of interactions with Brother Nan and Xia Chen. More mature.

But now, everyone in the Xia family seems to have changed their attitude towards her, looking at her eyes mixed with pity, apology, gratitude and doubts, in short, it is very complicated, and the second monk Liu Jiaozhang can't understand mind.

She also found a chance to ask Nan Ge'er, but Nan Ge'er couldn't tell the reason at all, and didn't even notice the difference Liu Jiao said at all.

So Liu Jiao could only pretend that nothing happened. Anyway, her attitude has not changed. Being able to have a good relationship with Xia Chen's family as the leader will only benefit her and not harm her.

This is something to say later, let's not mention it for now, just talk about the present.

Xia Chen hired a few women to help make potato flour. It was most convenient to make potato starch. Considering that the residents didn’t know much about this new variety, he simply made it into vermicelli and sold it in shops. .

As a new staple food on the shelves, I have never eaten it at all. Potato flour has attracted everyone's attention since it appeared.In terms of pricing, according to the flour extraction rate, Xia Chen set the unit price higher than that of coarse grains but lower than that of rice noodles, which can be regarded as a mid-range price.

This price is a bit expensive compared to coarse grains, but the white, greasy and smooth potato flour looks very high-end. Anyone with a slightly better family condition is willing to buy it and try it. Anyway, it is not particularly expensive.

It tasted good after this taste, Xia Chen specially asked someone to write a few home-cooked ways to eat potato flour on the bulletin board of the store, even if the seasoning at home is not so sufficient, just relying on the smooth taste of potato flour, It won the hearts of many people who like this mouthful.

The piled potatoes were processed and sold smoothly, and when the sweet potatoes are harvested in the future, sweet potato flour can be made again, which can be regarded as another industrial chain developed.

Of course, not all good things happened. At the beginning of July, a team from the outer city was attacked by zombies when they went out to chop firewood. The patrolling escort team arrived in time.

But among the zombies they met, two of them had moldy and rotten skin, with sparse white hairs, and an unidentified green liquid oozing out.

Once these liquids come into contact, they will corrode the human skin into a disgusting wound, and then the toxins will start to spread towards the human body.

The guards who fought against the zombies also noticed that the defense of these zombies has become stronger again, and it is becoming more and more difficult for ordinary weapons to harm them. Only the swords taken from the weapon tree are still as sharp. use.

After such a long period of adaptation, the survivors in the doomsday have evolved certain antibodies, and the infectivity of zombie toxins has been greatly reduced. People who are scratched and bitten during battles rarely turn into zombies again.

Even if there are signs of mutation, cut off the carrion at the wound in time, or simply cut off the injured limb, as long as the injury is not on the trunk, there is still a chance to survive.

However, the new toxin has greatly increased the infection rate. Once infected with the corpse poison, it will have a tendency to mutate in a short time.

Moreover, this kind of zombie is extremely disgusting. Their own defense is extremely strong, and the venom is still abundant in their bodies. If they are cut down with a knife, the venom splashed accidentally on the skin may cause infection.

This kind of newly evolved zombie called Poisonous Zombie, as soon as Pu appeared, he took the lives of two residents from the outer city, and a member of the guard team was injured by poisoning for a while.

Fortunately, Xia Chen arrived in time after receiving the news, and used detoxifying herbs to absorb the toxins in his body, thus saving his life.

After discovering the traces of Du Zong, Xia Chen felt heavy in his heart, and immediately arranged for people to go out to investigate.

If these two zombies are not special mutants, it means that this is the common evolutionary path of zombies. This kind of zombies is too difficult to guard against. Being broken again, I don't know how many survivors will be defeated in this zombie evolution and become one of them.

The investigation team quickly replied to Xia Chen. The result was very bad. Although the number of dead zombies was not as large as that of black zombies, there were still one or two dead zombies among the ten black zombies. It was obviously not an isolated case, but the zombies evolved again. up.

This result made Xia Chen very worried. He was not afraid of the evolution of zombies. Zombie evolution was an inevitable result. He had already considered it, not to mention the mutated plants such as detoxification grass, which can overcome poisonous stiffness.

What he was worried about was the caravan that had been away for more than a month and still had no news.

According to the route planned at the beginning, the city they were going to was a city with an extremely developed salt industry in the neighboring Zhoufu. According to the speed of the pumpkin carriage, if all went well, they should be on their way back by now.

But the sudden evolution of zombies brought unknown dangers to the caravan members who went out. When they left, Xia Chen brought them all the supplies he could bring.But he never expected that the zombies evolved, and the mutated plant detoxification grass planted in his space appeared after they left.

This made Xia Chen feel a little regretful, maybe he was too impatient, although the storage of salt is not so abundant, but it is not enough to eat, and the search team can bring some back, shouldn't he be so impatient Send caravans out to open up salt roads.

Yancheng.

Yancheng wasn’t called Yancheng at first, but it was famous for having more than a dozen high-quality salt wells, which were rich in well salt. When this city was mentioned later, people mostly called it Yancheng. Over time, even the locals also called it that.

After the day of the dead, many cities fell due to lack of food supplies or insufficient combat power. The survivors either died in the city or fled.

The situation in Yancheng is a little better. Because of the developed salt industry, there are many tall and strong salt mining workers. In terms of materials, because of the fast economic circulation, there are sufficient reserves of various materials.

So after the apocalypse, Yancheng became the largest base in several nearby cities. Even the state capital had many survivors flee here, making Yancheng, which was originally crowded with people, still not look desolate in the apocalypse.

The current leader of the Yancheng base is neither the former head of the city, nor a well-known local celebrity, but a salt mining worker.Therefore, in the current Yancheng base, the administrative center is not the magistrate's yamen, and even the inner city has been relocated.

The Yancheng base is basically built around the salt field, so there are not many places to stay, except for the yard managed by the original salt field, which is the home of the salt workers, and the conditions are very simple.

Most of the survivors who defected built a large number of messy shacks. Even if there was a big city with many vacant houses half a day away, no one would choose to live there.

Zombies are hidden everywhere in cities that haven't been cleaned up, but Yancheng base has organized guards to clean up the surrounding zombies every day.Although it may not be able to clean up, there are often fish that slip through the net, but it is better than falling asleep in the city and being bitten to death by zombies who do not know when to break into the door.

Some time ago, a sudden hailstorm destroyed many houses. These dilapidated shacks were rebuilt in large pieces. Through the huge gaps between the boards of the shacks, one could see scrawny children curled up in the shacks.

Strong men with bulging upper body muscles can be seen everywhere. They all wear weapons and come and go in a hurry.When the other survivors saw these people, they mostly avoided them for fear of collision. Occasionally, one or two strong men with leisurely expressions swayed over deliberately, and immediately there would be a few attractive women to meet them.

A separate small courtyard in the Yancheng base, which was originally the home of a small management of the salt field. Although it cannot be compared with the neatly arranged small courtyard with green bricks and black tiles in the city, it is already considered very good in the new base of the salt field. residence.

In the yard, Dong Ge'er and his group, who were remembered by Xia Chen, were gathering in the room and talking in a low voice.

Qi Xiaoer told his companions about the information he had collected in the past few days. He was born with a passer-by face.

However, since he was a child, he liked to dig into the crowd, listened to the villagers say that the east is rich and the west is bad, and he even learned to use speech skills to get the news he wanted without a teacher.

When there was no family separation before, his brother and sister-in-law used this as an excuse to attack him, saying that he was a big man who would sneak into the crowd of women all day long without doing business. Later, he joined the guards and was discovered by Wen Shu. , Simply let him develop as an intelligence officer.

Qi Xiaoer really played a great role when he was out on a mission this time. The group of them came to the base in Yancheng. They were unfamiliar with the place, and the leadership of the base was on guard against them. Xiao Er wandered around the city and found out about the situation of the base.

The population of the Yancheng base is much larger than that of their Wangxiang City, but in other respects, it is not that they boast, it is really inferior to their city in every way.It was also on this trip that they realized how severe the outside environment had become.

There is no need to mention the defensive facilities, because the original city foundation was abandoned and a new base was built at a large salt field on the outskirts of the city. The existing manpower and materials are only enough to pile up simple walls with wood and stones for defense.Rather than talking about defensive facilities, it is better to say that they delineate the boundaries of the base area.

The existing defense force of the base basically comes from the leader Zhao Yousheng leading the Tiger's Might Army - the Tiger's Might Army is the name they gave their guard team. Most of the team's staff are salt workers from the original saltworks, and a small part came from the later defected and selected into it. of warriors.

The leader of the base is a salt worker named Zhao Yousheng, in his thirties, with the same strength as Brother Nan, but according to the information Qi Xiaoer heard, his powers should not be as powerful as Brother Nan.

Zhao Yousheng became the leader not only because of his own abilities, but because of his strong work ability and fairness, he was quite prestigious among the salt workers before the end of the day. After the end of the day, due to various accidents, he drove ducks to the shelves and became a salt worker. The leader, and later established the current Yancheng base.

The Yancheng base has a large population, and with such a large population base, there are slightly more aliens. As far as they know, there are about a dozen of them.
