After leaving the design drawings to Chaoying, Gu Zhuo had nothing to do. He looked at the map on the navigation system and found that the cities closest to the ruins, except for those occupied by the Prophet Cult, were other cities.
Qidong on one side.
He knew something about Qidong. It was a small city that relied exclusively on aquaculture to make a living. It had no industrial base. The geographical environment was not very favorable, and it was the kind of settlement that was not highly respected in the apocalypse.
However, no matter how Qidong is, it is still a city, and there must be factories and gas stations. Now, wherever there are factories and gas stations, it is Gu Zhuo's target.
Gu Zhuo planned to wait here to survive the next fourteen-day disaster, and then drove to Qidong to look for materials. Chaoying must have already drawn the design by that time.
This is the plan, but these days have been too leisurely, so safe that Gu Zhuo even had nothing to do.
In the next few days, he went down into the underground cave several times and followed the underground river to the other end that he had not gone to last time.
The other end leads directly to a suburb. Except for the hidden entrance of the exit, which is basically undetectable from the suburbs, there are no other obstacles.
The suburb seemed to be located on the edge of a small town. There was nothing of interest, only a few unfinished buildings that had not yet been built, as if the contractor ran away halfway through the development.
Gu Zhuo investigated and found that those unfinished buildings were hospitals that had not yet been completed. They looked gloomy and there were no materials left inside. They were as poor as they were poor.
As for the ladder at the other end, he had not gone up to investigate it, thinking that it would not be too late to investigate it after his war machine was improved.
After all, he couldn't afford any more accidents.
In order to find something to do for himself, Gu Zhuo started to rebuild the ruins.
His mechanics can not only build cars and tools and weapons, but can even build some special wooden furniture, but the effects are not as abnormal and useful as the machines they create.
Speaking of construction, he simply cut a few pieces of wood, and then using his machinist skills, Gu Zhuo drew a design that couldn't be more scrawled, and built a fence high enough to surround the area around the ruins.
In addition to the high fence, Gu Zhuo also built a new gate and a wooden wall with windows in front of the hall.
After doing this, this place actually feels like a doomsday shelter.
After moving all the extra wood into the hall, Gu Zhuo decided to use it as a temporary warehouse, specifically for storing materials.
Since that blood moon, his physical strength has become more durable and his strength has increased a lot, far beyond the level of ordinary people. Now that he has a war machine on his body, it is even more powerful.
He finished building the high fence that divided his territory, took some rest in the hall, and finished transporting the extra wood.
Not yet satisfied, Gu Zhuo kept spinning like a top that never rested, and renovated the stone city wall that had become ruins.
But he just stacked them back together in a hurry. After all, Gu Zhuo had no intention of living here permanently and would have to leave sooner or later. Secondly, he didn't have any extra materials to build the city wall.
"Hate, it would be great if there were enough resources here. If there were enough resources, I wouldn't have to go to Qingshui. I could just live here."
When Gu Zhuo is free, he looks at his achievements and sometimes feels emotional.
Now it seems that it is no longer a doomsday survival script, but a doomsday farming and infrastructure script. You must know that Gu Zhuo, as a native Chinese, has farming and infrastructure in his blood.
In order to make this place more presentable, he also designed several traps that had been used in special operations force drills before. Although these traps are very simple, their effects are often unexpected.
After the simple construction was completed, Gu Zhuo set up a fish insertion point by the river behind the ruins.
At this temperature, the river is frozen, and you can't fish if you want to. You can only stick fish on the thick ice. However, after several days of exploration by Gu Zhuo, he concluded that the fish in this river are probably all
He concluded that he was almost dead, and there were no more fish for him to fish in.
Not only that, he also installed some traps deep in the forest, even if they could catch a wild mouse. But let alone wild mice, for so many days, his trap devices showed no trace of movement.
This incident suddenly made Gu Zhuo realize that extreme cold is not only a huge blow to humans, but also a devastating disaster to animals.
But before he met Ou Ming, he could still catch fish in that lake. Although he failed to catch it and let the big fish escape, Gu Zhuo could feel it, that is, the fish bit the hook.
.
Unless he was extremely unlucky and what he caught that day was really not a fish, but a leather shoe...
But the possibility of this is slim.
Moreover, Ou Ming was able to catch hares to fill his stomach some time ago, proving that rabbits are not extinct yet.
Rabbits are cold-intolerant creatures. If domestic rabbits are kept in an environment below five degrees Celsius, they will freeze to death.
Wild rabbits generally do not have the habit of preparing for winter, and there is no such thing as stocking up food in advance to wait for the arrival of winter. They will only prepare a warm nest, try to avoid the wind, and wait for winter to hide in it.
But this time the extreme cold came so suddenly, it was not enough for them to store fat. The kind of nests they usually dig are not likely to be enough to survive the winter of minus 40 degrees, so how can they survive until Ou Ming captures them?
Where is the moment?
Gu Zhuo, who realized that he had forgotten such an important thing, remembered that from the apocalypse to now, in addition to the fish that was not caught that day, the few rabbits that Ou Ming had caught, and the rabbits around him
Apart from a dog, it seems that I have never seen any other animal.
Not even a single bird or feather was seen!
Gu Zhuo didn't want to believe that all these animals were dead. After all, if these animals were lost, wouldn't there be only the most cold-resistant plants, surviving humans, and countless monsters left on the earth?
This kind of world must be so hopeless.
"Sam, come here."
Gu Zhuo called out Sam.
Sam ran over in a hurry. Gu Zhuo touched his head with pity and said:
"Sam, if all the animals in this world die and all the dogs die, you may have to fight with me forever..."
Sam didn't understand what Gu Zhuo was saying, and kept wagging his tail in a silly way, and howled a few times.
All joking aside, Gu Zhuo has to pay attention to whether there are any traces of other animals these days. After all, vegetables can be grown, but meat cannot be grown. No animals means no source of meat.
With this in mind, Gu Zhuo decided to build a few more traps and distribute them further away from his territory and over a wider area to see if blind cats could encounter dead mice.
While Gu Zhuo was lost in thought, a noise-reduction helicopter quietly flew over the road next to the ruins.
