"Later, if that scary zombie finds us, I will jump off the cliff with that zombie in my arms. You run back quickly and leave me alone."
"No, Da, I want to go with you!" Zhou Chen was shocked when he heard what his father said, and then said firmly.
Zhou Dafu’s eyes were firm and there was no doubt in his tone:
"Be obedient! Remember to bring a bucket of water. Your mother and they won't be able to hold on for long without water."
"I don't!" Zhou Chen said stubbornly.
He couldn't sit back and watch his father die in exchange for his own chance of survival.
"Why are you so disobedient!"
Zhou Dafu was anxious, angry and a little touched.
"If I die, you will be the breadwinner of the family, and it will be up to you to take care of your mother and your brother from now on."
Zhou Chen was about to speak, but his father glared at him and made him speechless.
He had never seen his father's eyes look like this.
He lowered his head and covered his mouth, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Zhou Dafu also felt very uncomfortable. It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to deal with such creatures as terrifying zombies.
The last time I got rid of that terrifying zombie was just luck.
And this time, there is no guarantee that they will be as lucky as last time.
Wow!
The sound of water came from the lake below. Zhou Dafu calmed down and listened carefully to what was going on below.
This should be the terrifying zombie climbing up the cliff.
Wow!
The scary zombies grabbed onto the rocks and climbed up. Some rocks became loose and rolled down into the lake.
Splashing layers of ripples.
The zombies in the lake were disturbed, and the lake water rolled like boiling water in a pot.
Ordinary zombies surfaced one after another, but they didn't know where the target was.
I can only scream there.
This terrifying zombie was extremely fast and climbed up the cliff.
Zhou Dafu could even see this wet and terrifying zombie through the gaps in the bushes.
The terrifying zombie lay on all fours like a monkey, raised its head and sniffed the air vigorously.
But I didn't seem to smell anything.
Zhou Dafu and the two looked at this terrifying zombie, which was only five or six meters away from them.
Nervously, my heart was in my throat.
rustle--
This terrifying zombie rushed to the plastic bucket on the right and sniffed it vigorously.
They grabbed the bucket with their hands, and some human breath remained.
However, this terrifying zombie did not notice the two Zhou Dafu who were so close at hand.
Zhou Dafu gritted his teeth looking at the terrifying zombies so close. He just had a new plan.
Instead of passively waiting for this scary zombie to find them, he might as well take advantage of this scary zombie not noticing him and attack this scary zombie from behind.
Although the reaction speed of the terrifying zombies is extremely fast, his method may work.
Just when he tightened his grip on the knife handle and was about to attack violently.
A deer's cry came from not far away.
This kind of deer is a small deer animal, yoyo——
The scary zombies rushed over after hearing the sound, and the deer screamed in agony a dozen seconds later.
Then, plop!
There was a splash of water below.
The deer was attacked by terrifying zombies and accidentally fell off the cliff and fell into the reservoir.
This terrifying zombie was also taken down.
The loud sound attracted the attention of other ordinary zombies, who rushed forward in a swarm.
Although wall-climbing zombies pose a huge threat to humans, they do not pose much of a threat to ordinary zombies.
They are all zombies and have no intelligence.
Ordinary zombies will not be afraid of wall-climbing zombies.
The deer and the terrifying zombies were surrounded by zombies swarming over.
Go down into the water.
Zhou Dafu crawled on his stomach and climbed to the edge of the cliff to see the terrifying zombie that was gradually sinking into the water. When this terrifying zombie sank into the water, it was still biting the body of the deer in its mouth.
When Zhou Dafu saw this scene, surprise appeared in his eyes.
God was really helping me, and the chance to escape came.
He did not stand up, but continued to crawl back. When he was a few meters away from the shore, he stood up with his waist hunched over, and quickly walked to Zhou Chen's side carrying two buckets of water.
"Let's go back."
"Da, it's a scary zombie..."
"If we fall, we probably won't be noticed for a while."
Creatures like zombies, whether they are mutant zombies or ordinary zombies, once they catch their prey, they don't care about anything else while eating.
The terrifying zombie has caught the deer and sank into the water.
With the isolation of the lake, they probably won't be found.
When Zhou Chen heard this, his face was full of joy.
"Very good!"
"Go quickly, get out of here first!" Zhou Dafu shouted in a low voice.
At the same time, hang the rope on the shoulder pole to the hanging ear of the plastic bucket.
Putting the prepared pole on Zhou Chen's shoulders, he then quickly walked back with two buckets of water in one hand and the pole and rope in the other.
Water must be taken away.
Otherwise they will die of thirst in the cave!
This trip was in vain. It was impossible to take such a big risk and come back empty-handed.
The two of them ran back quickly.
After walking a few hundred meters, Zhou Dafu couldn't bear it anymore.
He held two buckets in one hand. Not to mention their weight, they were difficult to hold.
So he stopped, threaded the rope, and put the pole on his shoulders
Finally, he pinned the knife behind his waist and pinned it to one side so as not to affect his walking.
Since they had just experienced such an experience, the two of them went back very quickly.
They ran back as fast as they could. There were layers of leaves on the mountain, and they slipped from time to time while carrying the poles. Fortunately, the plastic bucket was tightly sealed, otherwise all the water inside would flow out.
An hour and a half later, the two men, all in a mess, finally arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Zhou Dafu opened the wooden fence outside the cave, and over the past few years, they have reclaimed the area around the cave.
A fence was built with wood, forming a semicircle along the cave.
It's about more than two hundred square meters.
In these two hundred square meters, they planted some crops.
Even now there are some crops that have not been harvested.
Four rows of land, half sweet potatoes and half pumpkins.
Both crops have very low water storage capacity and only require sufficient watering in the early stages of planting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Moreover, pumpkins have large fruits and high yields.
For many years, they have relied on the spring water in the cave to irrigate their crops.
If the spring water in the cave had not dried up a month ago, they would not have gone down the mountain to fetch water.
However, pumpkins and sweet potatoes were planted before the spring water dried up.
At that time, there were still many springs in the cave.
These two plants require water in the early stages, but now they are mature and require little watering.
On the right side, there is an earth kiln made of soil. This earth kiln can be used to bake food and make charcoal.
Making charcoal using the clay oven method.
At this time, there was a young man sitting in front of the clay stove.
Hearing the movement on this side of the fence, he turned around immediately.
When he saw his father and elder brother, he ran over excitedly.
"Da! Brother, you are back!"
After looking at the two of them up and down, I found that their trousers and tops were dirty and dusty, and even had a few holes in their trousers.
"What's wrong? Have you encountered any zombies?" Zhou Guang asked.
Zhou Dafu picked the plastic bucket in, let Zhou Chen in, turned around and closed the wooden fence, and then wrapped the wire above it several times.
Although this wooden fence cannot resist wall-climbing zombies, it is more than enough to stop a small number of ordinary zombies.
"Let's go to the cave first." Zhou Dafu waved his hand and told his son not to ask.
Seeing that something was wrong between the two of them, Zhou Guang hurried over to help his father pick up the bucket and walked into the cave.
In the cave, a woman was cutting a pumpkin with a knife. She cut the pumpkin into 2x3 cm pieces and then placed them on a wooden board to dry.
There is air leakage everywhere in this cave, with at least seven or eight gaps.
But the gap is not big, and the largest one is only about the size of your head.
These gaps were sealed with stones or soil, and would be opened once ventilation was needed.
The biggest gap is the hole at the innermost top.
Zhou Dafu walked in carrying water, and the woman quickly stood up when she saw their figures.
"I'm finally back. Come over here and pour it into the vat."
At the corner of the cave, there is a large vat.
After Zhou Dafu entered the cave, he did not immediately pour the water into the jar.
Instead, he turned around and inserted the iron rods into the openings in the wall one by one.
Each iron rod is about two fingers thick, and the distance between iron rods is about five centimeters.
It was filled from top to bottom.
This forms a door.
Then he leaned a nearby wooden board behind the iron bar door.
"Xiaochen, come here and help me."
Together, they carried several large rocks behind the wooden board and piled them on top.
The entrance to the cave was sealed.
The entrance to the cave was sealed, and the cave was half dark instantly.
"Tada??? What are you doing!?" The woman looked at her husband doing this with a puzzled look on her face.
Huhu——
Zhou Chen took a few breaths and said to the woman:
"Mom, Anda and I almost didn't come back!"
"What! What's going on!" The woman looked worried. She walked over and took her eldest son's hand, looking up and down.
But it was too dark inside the cave, especially since the exit was closed.
So the woman took her eldest son's hand and went deep into the cave.
There is a hole at the top of the inside, and light shines from above, so the woman can use it to see if he is injured.
Zhou Chen walked over and explained:
"When we were at the Luhun Reservoir, we encountered terrifying zombies, the same zombies that almost bit my little brother before!"
The woman looked shocked:
"How is it possible? Don't those zombies only come out at night? They come out in broad daylight!"
"Da, is it true?" The youngest son Zhou Guang looked at his father next to him.
Zhou Dafu walked to the center of the cave with a gloomy face.
He sat down on the wooden bench and said, "It's true."
"Damn it, I was thinking about this when I came back. Horrible zombies appeared during the day. This is something unusual."
"Later I figured it out. The weather has changed recently. You can't see the sun in broad daylight, so the scary zombies naturally crawled out."
"The days ahead will not be easy!"
Zhou Dafu's eyes were full of worry. The scary zombies came out during the day. What would they do?
They stay in the mountains all year round, never go out, and basically don't interact with other survivors.
So I don’t know why wall-climbing zombies are afraid of the sun. It’s because they’re afraid of ultraviolet rays.
Use ultraviolet light to repel wall-climbing zombies.
However, they don't know this.
The woman heard this and asked in horror:
"Tada, what should we do?"
Wall-climbing zombies will appear during the day. Well, that doesn't mean that they are outside the cave and may be bitten by wall-climbing zombies at any time.
Although they stayed in the deep mountains and old forests, there were relatively few zombies, let alone wall-climbing zombies.
But this kind of thing can only be a gamble on probability.
Zhou Dafu thought for a moment and said:
"Starting from tomorrow, we are not allowed to leave the wooden fence, set traps for hunting, or collect tree oil!"
"No, try not to leave the cave!"
"We will harvest the pumpkins and sweet potatoes tomorrow and quickly dry them and preserve them."
"The charcoal must be made quickly. After harvesting, we will go all out to make charcoal!"
The woman heard this and said:
"That's ok, the sweet potatoes and pumpkins are ripe and just in time."
"Including the corn and potatoes we grew before, it will be enough for us to eat for a long time."
Zhou Dafu nodded and said:
"Well, it's getting late today. Let's go out for sweet potatoes tomorrow."
Then he looked at Zhou Guang and said, "Xiaoguang, you can't go out hunting anymore. I know you sneak out sometimes."
"Now is not the time for joking. If you run out and are bitten to death by zombies, what do you want us to do?"
The man's tone was serious.
Zhou Guang also realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly replied: "Okay, Da, I understand."
Zhou Dafu rubbed his sore shoulders and said to the woman:
"Mother, boil some water and drink it. I'm so thirsty after running all the way back!"
"Okay." The woman, perhaps a little flustered, hurriedly picked up the plastic bucket.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I almost spilled it when I poured it into the water tank.
She scooped up a few spoonfuls of water and poured it into the small round pit next to the iron pot.
This is the stove they built themselves with clay, and there is a big iron pot in the middle of the stove.
An iron bucket was placed in the small round pit next to the iron pot.
When cooking, you can boil water simultaneously and save firewood.
Moreover, their beds are right next to the stove, and their beds are connected to the ground below the stove.
Cooking and lighting a fire can also make their beds warmer.
The woman placed the potato pancakes in a circle around the iron pot.
Then she got up and walked to the right side of the cave.
The firewood on the right is piled up like a mountain, and it reaches the highest position, which is almost six meters high.
These firewoods were chopped into arm lengths and neatly stacked in this corner.
The woman carried a few pieces of firewood, walked to the stove, took out the flint and started a fire.
These firewood were obtained in the past few months.
Basically I spend some time chopping firewood every day.
After all, I have experienced the end of the world for several years. When I eat, I burn firewood. When the weather gets cold, I burn firewood, and when I drink water, I have to boil it...
Firewood is their most important energy source in the apocalypse.
They have no way to obtain oil or other energy sources.
Firewood was the only source of energy they could obtain.
It is also renewable.
In recent months, a large number of trees in Funiu Mountain have died, and they don't even bother to cut down big trees.
Coupled with previous exposure to the sun, these trees are very dry and very suitable for preservation.
Wow~
The woman lit the flame and the match burned.
The firelight made her face red.
It also illuminates the cave.
There are three beds in total, connected to each other, and on the left side of the cave are supports made of wood.
Clothes and shoes are placed on the racks.
Next to it are solar panels and chargers.
The light has been too dark recently, and the solar panels cannot generate a few kilowatt hours of electricity a day, so I simply put them away.
There is a wooden shelf behind the stove, and there are some bottles and cans on the wooden shelf.
Under the wooden shelf, there are baskets of dried corn cobs and potatoes.
Under the central hole, there are two iron wires threaded through the hole, which should have been used to dry clothes.
But there has been no water recently, and there are no clothes on it.
No one can drink water, let alone wash clothes
The entire cave is neatly arranged with items full of life.
Even in the last days, there are still people living well,
