The evening of the 16th.

The setting sun.

In the large camphor tree base, wash the rice and sweet potatoes placed on the cement pavement, slice them into pieces, and expose them to the sun.

In order to preserve these things for a long time, they must be exposed to the sun and air-dried.

Generally speaking, rice can be almost dry after being exposed to the sun for three days.

Li Yu stood on the wall and looked at the rice paddy paved on the cement pavement in the outer city. Under the dim yellow sunlight, the rice was also golden and looked particularly beautiful.

The second uncle stood next to him, saw Li Yu's frown, and said: "Xiao Yu, I feel that you are worried. We have harvested the greenhouse now, so don't worry too much."

Li Yu shook his head and said: "It's okay, I'm not worried. By the way, has the grain harvest been counted now?"

The second uncle took out a book from his arms, opened a few pages and said: "The rice has not yet been completely dehydrated. The 120 acres of land, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other staple foods have been roughly counted, but there is no final count.

Leave to dry.

The weights with moisture are: 48 tons of rice, which is about 36 tons after being sun-dried and machine-dried, 10 tons of corn, 10 tons of sweet potatoes, and 5 tons of potatoes, for a total of 61 tons of staple food..."

Li Yu calculated that according to the fact that the greenhouse ignores the weather temperature, rice needs about 3 to 4 months to grow in one season, and can reach three crops a year.

That is to say, the annual staple food output can reach 183 tons, because the rice is not shelled and the corn has cobs. Calculated roughly based on 80%, it is about 146 tons.

Based on the average person eating one pound a day, it can feed more than 800 people.

At present, the total population of the inner and outer cities of Dazhangshu Base is less than 400 people.

With the current food supply, it is possible to provide food for everyone in the inner and outer city bases, as well as exchange supplies with cooperative personnel, and basic subsidies for non-staff personnel.

There was even a profit.

Li Yu quickly calculated these in his mind and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the apocalypse, the most important thing is always food, and weapons are only second.

Why do sunsets and mornings look the same?

That's because the end point and starting point are very close to each other.

Everything has its own rules and cycles.

From the starting point - the end point - the starting point -.

After this blizzard, everyone thought it was finally over and it was time to usher in new hope.

What they didn't know was that another storm had just begun.

People are always eager to reach their goals and end points. After reaching a certain end point, they suddenly realize that it is a new beginning.

Over time, people lose their motivation and passion, just like being beaten hard with a hammer.

People who have seen through all this will feel that life is meaningless, and will feel that living in this end of the world, they must resist the evil thoughts in their hearts, suffer from hunger without eating people because they are too tired, and then walk alone into the darkness to die.

Li Yu once thought about this and thought about it clearly, but he was supported by the saying that it would be better to live than to die.

After returning from rebirth, he gradually began to understand and found the answer.

Paying attention to the meaning of life itself has no meaning. Do not deliberately seek meaning, but use your own body to experience everything in the moment. This is the greatest meaning.

Just do what you like to do, don't waste time, and focus on one idea.

He doesn't care what others think.

The more than fifty cooperators left. When they left, they left very slowly, but they finally left.

Li Yu watched them leave with his own eyes, as if he had seen what would happen to them soon.

The sun is setting little by little.

Sudden.

Li Yu saw that He Chao and the others were preparing to collect the rice that had been drying all afternoon, and quickly shouted to him: "He Chao, there is no need to harvest the rice, you can continue to dry it tomorrow!"

He Chao looked up and saw Li Yu talking to him, but he was too far away to hear clearly.

So he took out the walkie-talkie and asked: "Mr. Li, I didn't hear clearly what you just said."

Li Yu then took out the walkie-talkie and said to He Chao: "I said, there is no need to harvest these rice. We will continue to dry it tomorrow. It is a waste of time to collect it tonight and dry it again tomorrow."

He Chao stood there, obviously stunned for a few seconds.

"That night, do you want to send someone to watch here?" He Chao said.

Li Yu looked at a large field of rice with solar street lights on the cement road, so he said: "Okay, you can arrange for someone to watch it tonight."

"Okay." He Chao replied, and then asked the other people who were helping to collect the rice to push the rice back.

The suburbs of Hangzhou.

The sparse jungle has fallen leaves and rotten leaves with some dewdrops on them.

The ground is wet.

Xu Chengcai tightly covered his nine-year-old son's mouth to prevent him from making any sound.

When the son heard the screams coming from over there, his body trembled like a sieve.

He stuck his head out warily and looked nervously at a group of people not far away.

"Brother Zhang, enjoy it first! Hahaha." A man with a dirty face covered in red rashes said with a wide grin.

His teeth were uneven, yellow and black, and just looking at them made him feel sick.

The taller man said something like "hey", unscrupulously untied his belt and walked over.

The shrill screams resounded in the sunset.

Xu Chengcai clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out.

But when he saw his son next to him, he had no choice but to put down his hand.

If he were alone, he would rush over.

eat human!

It's not a rare thing in the apocalypse, but it makes him feel extremely uncomfortable every time he encounters it.

In the last days, there was a shortage of food. He and his son survived the cold winter, but now they have not had a normal meal for a long time.

"Xiaoyong, let's go!" Xu Chengcai said to his son after he saw the gang taking the two women away and the woods regained calm.

Xiaoyong trembled all over, hugged his father's arm, his eyes filled with tears: "Dad, will we die?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xu Chengcai's heart trembled slightly and said to him: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you, it's okay."

Due to long-term malnutrition, Xiaoyong was skinny and skinny, with the skin sticking to the bones all over his face.

Xiaoyong wiped his tears and slowly stood up with his father.

Xu Chengcai stood up limping. He had not eaten for a long time and his body was extremely weak. This was one of the reasons why he had just chosen to hide.

He carried his luggage and walked slowly in the opposite direction from where those people had just left.

The father and son supported each other and slowly walked out of the woods.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the silhouettes of the two people very, very long.

Suddenly.

Xiaoyong raised his head, looked at his father seriously and said, "Are we good people?"

Xu Chengcai touched his son's hair with dirty hands and said, "We are good people."

"Because we are good people, we don't eat people, right?"

"Yes, because we are good people and we have a fire in our hearts."

The two walked for about half an hour, watching the sky gradually get dark.

They must find a shelter immediately to avoid the zombies at night.

Coming out of the mountain forest, they saw several rural cement houses next to abandoned farmland overgrown with weeds.

Xu Chengcai walked over there with his son. He was so hungry that he hadn't eaten much in three days.

This blizzard froze many plants and animals to death, making it difficult for them to find anything to eat.

The two of them walked through the field and headed towards the houses.

Suddenly, Xu Chengcai stopped slightly. He heard a small movement from the farmland.

"Wait for me!" Xu Chengcai put down his backpack, pulled out a short spear from his backpack, and said to his son.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Xiaoyong asked with some confusion as he didn't know what was going on.

"Shh~" Xu Chengcai put his finger on his lips.

His eyes were electric, looking in the direction to the right of the field ridge.

He didn't take off his shoes and stepped directly on the farmland.

The soil in the farmland was very soft, and his right leg was suddenly stuck in the soil.

Xiaoyong watched as the sun had set, and the sky was getting dark at a speed visible to the naked eye. They were at the foot of the mountain, where the mountains and forests were steep, and the darkness seemed like a devil, swallowing up the sunlight.

He looked at his father anxiously, wanting to remind him that they had to go to that house early. After they went there, they would definitely check and improve some of the house's protections.

This all takes time.

But my father remained motionless, standing in the farmland.

Time seems to have stood still.

Silk——

A voice came from the farmland, and then, a huge snake with yellow and black patterns on its body opened its mouth and bit Xu Chengcai.

"Be careful! There is a snake!" Xiaoyong shouted on the field ridge to remind his father.

It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
