Chapter 7: Start with the Partnership

The city has been destroyed.

After Xi Chen left, Feng Dahua told the situation in the provincial capital.

After the zombies appeared, they smelled the living smell. Car accidents, fires and gas explosions in the city are one after another. Especially in crowded places such as hospital malls, the situation is particularly tragic.

"To stay there is waiting to die. As soon as the gas in the next community exploded, everyone began to flee. As soon as there were many people, the zombies would be crazy. If it hadn't been for Xiao Chen at that time, we wouldn't have escaped.

This world has changed..."

"Mong Song, where did you escape?" Wang Yuzhen asked curiously.

"Cusin, don't call me Mr. Song. And my cousin. If I didn't understand before, don't embarrass me. There is no Mr. Song now. Song Sisi did not answer, but formally protested against the title.

The old couple looked at each other, nodded and changed their words: "Sisi."

Song Sisi turned his eyes to his cousin Feng Zitang, who hadn't graduated from college. Feng Zitang smiled and smiled with a little flattering meaning: "Cousin Sisi."

Then Song Sisi raised a very realistic question: "Cusin, cousin, the farm is only far away from the city, which does not mean that there have been no zombies. So, what if there are zombies coming?

The opposite family looked at each other in consternation. Feng Dahua, who was the master of the family, said, "Come here and I fought with Xiaotang. If we can't beat it, let's run together. Sisi, is your car still there?"

"Yes, in the garage." Song Sisi was very satisfied with this answer. Of course, she did not leave her safety to Feng Dahua.

Compared with his wife and niece, which is more important, Song Sisi can make the right choice for him.

"Which city are Xi Chen's parents in? What did you do?" Song Sisi asked casually, mainly to change the topic.

The only reason why one of them left was to find their parents.

"City B." Feng Dahua has also heard online predictions about the end of the world in the past two days. City B is one of the most serious places.

"We don't even know working in a confidential unit."

"Does Xi Chen know?"

"I don't know." After Feng Dahua finished speaking, he found that the expression was not clear enough. "We don't know if he knows it or not."

So if he doesn't know, find a hammer? Go to deliver vegetables to zombies?

Will zombies mutate? Even the hero and heroine dare not break into the zombie city alone.

"Don't worry, let him go?" Song Sisi asked Wang Yuzhen.

Wang Yuzhen, who is honest and stupid, smiled bitterly: "If you don't let him go, he won't go?" That's his parents!"

Song Sisi was shocked and suddenly remembered her own parents.

At that time, it took her three hours to cross most of the country home. Is Xi Chen as anxious as she was then, and she couldn't wait to put her wings and fly back?

I hope Xi Chen's trip will have a good ending.

Suddenly, the polite and alienated smile of the man's eyes when shaking hands with her suddenly appeared in Song Sisi's mind.

Good luck...

*

The arrival of my cousin Feng Dahua's family made the farm more popular.

The first and second floors of the farm staff dormitory are their homes on the farm. Last time I went there, Song Sisi saw the stairs leading to the second floor in their room.

After settling down, Song Sisi proposed to check their supplies.

As a result, one emergency kit per person.

Can this also be called supplies?

"There is not much house in the provincial capital. There is not much to eat in the house." Feng Dahua saw Song Sisi's speechlessness and explained shyly.

Song Sisi asked, "What about daily necessities?"

"There is still a little in the room here." Feng Dahua doesn't understand. Besides, I was in a hurry at that time. There was no daily necessities.

It was these three emergency kits that he thought they were sent by Song Sisi at that time and didn't bring them home. He was ready to deal with it when he had time, but he used it.

Of course, he will never say that.

"How long will it take? How much paper do you have? How much toothpaste is there? How many clothes are there? And food, what do you eat? Song Sisi leaned against the door frame.

Feng Dahua's face turned blue and white for a while. Suddenly, he was in a hurry to leave. Who could think so much? Grit your teeth and stamp your feet: "There should be shops in town. I'll buy them now. Sisi, lend me your car." His car was let Xi Chen drive away.

"Dad, I'll go. You are at home." Feng Zitang, who had been sitting and packing, suddenly got up and stopped his father.

"Go and add members to zombies?" Song Sisi's tone is cool.

Feng Zitang was a little annoyed when he heard the words. The cousin was really a tricky and mean person and asked anger, "What do you think you should do?"

Song Sisi said bluntly, "I hoarded some daily necessities the day before yesterday. I can share you. But it can't be used for nothing."

Feng Dahua heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning: "It's not used in vain, not in vain. Sisi, just say what you have."

"If we want to live, the four of us have to unite.

Although there is a stock of grain and farm, we have to grow it ourselves.

Vegetables, cousin, is there any vegetable field on the farm?"

She has been on the farm for a few days, but she has not had time to accept her small farm. She knows nothing but knowing that there is a pond full of lotus flowers.

"Yes."

"Okay, you can take me to have a look later. Are there any weapons on the farm? We can't sit and wait to die. We have to get something to beat the zombies. Song Sisi asked again.

Speaking of this, Feng Dahua was a little excited on his face: "No, but you don't have to worry about it. I'll go to the machine room later and remove a few blades from the machine.

"Okay."

The food side has been arranged, and the safety aspect has also been arranged.

The rest is the problem of life: "My cousin, where is the garbage on the farm usually dumped?" The snack bags she ate these days are about to fill the trash cans at home.

"It usually falls in the biogas pool at the west end of our farm. Plastic and so on, don't go out and pour it down now. I'll burn it later.

Song Sisi nodded and agreed. Otherwise, people said that there was an old man and a treasure in a family, and there would be more ways to see than her young people.

Over there, Feng Zitang packed up his things, plugged his communicator into the jack to charge, and then interrupted the two people under discussion: "Cousin, is there no power on the farm?"

"It's gone." Song Sisi was about to talk about it. When she got up this morning, she found that there was no electricity. Maybe the wire was cut off by yesterday's zombies.

It's annoying that there is no electricity. I don't know how long the gas can last. She is going to ask Feng Dahua to build an old stove.

Feng Zitang was manic for a while and calmed down: "Is there a generator, solar energy or something?" He learned this. For the convenience of life, he went out and tried it.

Song Sisi's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

Lao Feng: There is actually a diesel generator in the machine room. But forget it, it's a little more saving.

Before the conversation, Song Sisi finally asked her questions that she had forgotten for several days: "Cusin, cousin, do you know my sister's birthday?"

Wang Yuzhen said as she took out the communicator: "Yes, I know. Which year did we go to your birthday party? Let me look for it. Hey, I found it. Wan Wan: January 10th. Here, and Sisi, February 6th.

Oh, ha ha ha, ha ha, it's so embarrassing.

Feng Zitang felt embarrassed and pulled his mother. Wang Yuzhen was unconscious and stared at her very old man unhappily: "Don't worry, I can't forget you." Here's yours: March 7th. Look, there is your brother Xiaochen here, April 5th.

It's really good to remember than a bad pen, hehe. However, Song Sisi suddenly remembered a set of numbers in his mind.

"Mom, you really didn't remember my birthday!" Feng Zitang forgot his embarrassment and was already unhappy.

"Of course I remember who said it. I remember you and your father the most clearly. Wang Yuzhen pointed to the communicator as she spoke, "Look, you are March 7th. Your father is June 14th, and you two are exactly twice as close as each other.

Feng Dahua smiled proudly.

The family of three said something later. Song Sisi didn't hear a word.

She misses her parents, and she and her parents are so harmonious. Her unreliable parents love each other and eat her jealousy, and she has to coax them one by one. Why are those two children more like her?

Humph! He also left her alone in the world too much.

...

"Buncle, the vegetable field is too far away from us."

Song Sisi and Feng Dahua stood on the periphery of the farm complex, and Feng Dahua pointed to the vegetable field across the pond to show Song Sisi.

If you want to go to the vegetable field, you have to cross the lotus pond. At such a long distance, once a zombie crosses the fence outside the iron net, people will have to hiccups.

It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, it's big. Let's plant some food in the garden in front of her door.

Feng Dahua didn't care. Song Sisi told him, "Yesterday, there were several zombies knocking on the door. Cousin, do you guess if there are zombies behind those trees?"

Old Feng's face turned pale: If I had known that he had gone with Xi Chen.

At present, I'm not in a hurry to pick vegetables. Let's go to the machine room to remove the blades first. Song Sisi picked a long knife. Feng Dahua's hands were very clever and installed the handle of each knife.

On the other side, Feng Zitang wiring on the roof and installing solar panels. Wang Yuzhen cooks in the kitchen of the villa, and there is no kitchen in their dormitory.

After eating enough, Feng Dahua told the two of them that there were zombies on their farm yesterday.

Wang Yuzhen and Feng Zitang have the same expressions: there is no response.

Yesterday was yesterday. Didn't all the zombies left? It means that the farm is safe and they can't get in for the time being. So, there is something to worry about.

"Then let's take a break and go to the vegetable field together." Feng Dahua said drily.

Hey, Song Sisi narrowed his eyes happily.

Because he was afraid that the sound of farm cars would attract zombies. Old Feng pulled out a trolley from the warehouse. The four of them slowly walked through the pond full of dead lotus and walked to the vegetable field.

The vegetable field is by the pond, and a row of willow trees are planted by the pond. The sun shines on the leaves, leaking out of the gap between the leaves, and printed on the lush green leaves in the vegetable field.

"Do you pick all these dishes?" Feng Dahua even suspected that he had misheard it.

"Well, it's all picked. Sleeping on pickled cabbage." Song Sisi had to repeat it again.

Wang Yuzhen opened her mouth and felt wrong. She whispered, "I won't."

Song Sisi was calm and said, "I will."

After saying that, despite everyone's surprised eyes, he calmly stretched out his hand to pickp the dishes.

After picking it, I found a little different thing growing in the middle of the vegetables.

Chapter 8 Gou (8) Yiqi Elixir + Crescent Axe

Each field map in the holographic online game has different medicinal herbs and ores. The grade of the two materials is the same as that of field maps.

This herb, like that appears on the farm, is the product of a low-level map, called Perilla.

A traditional Chinese medicine that can cure wind and colds is very common in rural areas in reality.

However, in the pharmaceutical formula column in Song Sisi's game, perilla is the main drug for refining Yiqi elixir.

The auxiliary medicine is honey.

Don't say it's outrageous. Can the game be a game if it's not outrageous?

Yiqi elixir: a elixir that increases the amount of blue in the game characters.

Song Sisi is not clear about what the blue quantity corresponds to the reality, but it does not prevent her from trying. With the word "benefit" guarantee, she is not afraid at all.

Anyone who has seen perilla knows that perilla grows. Song Sisi rudely cut everything away and did not move at all, so as to achieve sustainable development.

Then Song Sisi began to look for another thing near Perilla. She didn't look for it for a while, and she really found it.

The associated mineral of Perilla in the game: copper mine.

A small piece is hidden in the khaki soil.

If Yiqi elixir can be successfully refined, the copper mine will solve her biggest headache.

After work, Song Sisi couldn't wait to go upstairs and enter the bedroom. Point the pollen flower, open the alchemy furnace at the pharmaceutical interface, and put the perilla. Sure, the perilla hasn't put it in the package yet, and it has to be sent.

After a while of operation, Song Sisi finally put perilla and honey together at the inlet of the elixir furnace, and then clicked the "refining" button under the elixir furnace.

A light yellow progress bar appeared in front of her.

In the past, it took at most one minute to complete the progress bar in the game. But now Song Sisi has been staring at it for ten minutes. If it hadn't been for her sleepy eyes, she would have looked at it for a while.

Twenty minutes have passed...

At the thirtieth minute, a few round blue pills floated out of the saliva.

Yiqi Dan, hot.

Without the elixir bottle in the game, Song Sisi took a white porcelain cup and put several elixirs in. When it was a little cold, she scooped a spoonful and put a elixir into her mouth like a glutinous rice dumpling.

The elixir melts in the mouth. It's quite sweet. No, forget it. It tastes very good.

After turning Song Sisi, I didn't feel anything abnormal. Smash it and smash your mouth. Some unsatisfactoryly put the remaining seven elixirs into the package.

Not to mention the game package, that preservation ability is absolutely the first Nabovan.

But the medicine that melted in Song Sisi's body turned into countless small molecules, penetrated into her limbs and bones, quietly changing her body.

Dan has been and not poisonous. Song Sisi looked at the icon next to the pharmaceutical: forging.

It is the skill she learned from a blacksmith in the game. Its use is to build weapons.

I forgot to say that Song Sisi's various life skills are full-level: pharmaceutical, forging, sewing, planting, etc.

In the game, the copper mine can create a first-level weapon. The average player basically only learns the forging formula of one scythe. Song Sisi is different. She has collected all the weapon formulas.

So what kind of weapon is suitable for the zombie head? Song Sisi looked at the 18 weapons on the interface and fell into meditation.

You have to choose a beautiful one that suits her beautiful girlish temperament. Then Song Sisi clicked on the first-level weapon formula in the forging interface: crescent axe.

The icon of crescent axe is pink like a curved crescent moon. But the axe blade of the crescent axe, which took 30 minutes to forge, was like a machete.

It's so big. Can you move it?

Song Sisi took out the crescent axe from the game and was ready to try it. When pulling the handle of the axe, well, it doesn't sink. At the moment the last tip of the axe blade separated from the pink flower, Song Sisi's hands sank because they couldn't bear the weight.

Knock, it's so heavy, my feet! Did you get disabled before you were successful?

Fortunately, the little pink flower lit up at this time and saved Song Sisi's feet.

Exercise has reached an urgent level.

Therefore, Song Sisi did running and pulling ligaments in the yard when she was free. It causes you to fall asleep when you go to bed at night.

Before closing his eyes, I suddenly remembered the answer I got today: Song Wanwan's birthday is the 10th day of the first lunar month. What's the date today? I didn't think about it. I was temporarily unconscious and fell into a deep sleep.

*

The dog author arranged the original death date on the 10th of the first month and died at the hands of the star. Song Sisi posted a piece of paper in the bedroom, wrote about Song Wanwan's birthday, and always reminded herself that she would be cautious on the 10th of the first lunar month.

If you survive, you can win!

It was still early on the 10th. On the fifth day of the end of the world, the farm had been built twice. Feng Zitang and his son solved the problem of electricity on the farm, and Song Sisi also successfully converted the garden in front of the villa into a vegetable garden.

After washing the family's clothes, my cousin Wang Yuzhen proposed not to change the laundry. Therefore, everyone discussed going to the town for adventure.

Song Sisi also agreed: "There should be these things now." In fact, she didn't have everything. Besides, for a hoarder, no matter how much it was, it was not all, and it could be bought everywhere before the end of the world.

The most important thing is that she wants to see what's going on in town. It's not appropriate to stay on the farm and know nothing about the outside world.

So the four of them carried their weapons, closed the doors and windows, and locked them. Driving by Song Sisi, Feng Dahua took the co-pilot, Wang Yuzhen's mother and son sat in the back seat and slowly rowed out of the farm.

Except for Song Sisi, the rest of the people in the car were full of vigilance.

Song Sisi denied Feng Dahua's suggestion to take the path: "If you take the road, you will have a broad vision."

As soon as he left the farm, Song Sisi decisively stepped on the accelerator to accelerate. The road was empty and nothing, and Song Sishun rushed to the town smoothly.

"This damn zombie!" Feng Dahua was hurt by the scene and scolded fiercely.

Not far from the town, Song Sisi slowed down, lowered the noise made by the car, and drove slowly into the street.

If you only walk halfway, you can't go on. The road ahead was blocked by erect vehicles, so everyone had to abandon the car.

Song Sisi pulled out the car keys and silently greeted everyone to get out of the car. They have discussed it on the farm. As soon as they get out, they can't talk without talking, and they can whisper and never speak loudly.

Even the action of closing the car door is careful, for fear of disturbing zombies who may be hidden in the dark.

According to the rehearsal on the farm, Feng Dahua took the lead, with Song Sisi and Wang Yuzhen in the middle, behind Feng Zitang.

Most of the doors of shops on both sides of the town were broken. Some glass doors simply broke into slag, while others were hung on the door frame and swayed.

From the outside, the shelves in food stores and small supermarkets are empty. Some windows that have not yet been smashed are stained with blood.

It's not much better on the ground. Torn plastic packaging and scattered food debris can be seen everywhere. There are also broken arms and blood stains.

The miserable situation made Song Sisi feel uncomfortable and followed Feng Dahua silently with her lowered eyes. The latter two people also felt uncomfortable, and their faces were full of fear and intolerance.

Old Feng was familiar with the town, silently cleared the obstacles in front of him, and soon took everyone to the door of a home textile shop.

Looking in through the window, it was dark inside. It can only be safely guessed from the neat shelves. The people in the town really just wanted to grab food and didn't want to grab clothes.

The door of the home textile shop was gently covered. Feng Dahua reached out and gently pushed the folding door, and the iron door made a small creaking sound. But against this quiet street, it looks particularly clear and loud.

Feng Dahua immediately withdrew his hand in horror and dared not move. The people behind him didn't get well and stopped nervously. Song Sisi couldn't help looking around to see if any zombies heard anything jumping out of the corner or the opposite room next door.

After confirming that no zombies appeared, Song Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, poked his cousin on the back, and motioned him to go in.

The store was a little dark, and Song Sisi touched the flashlight in his pocket to illuminate. Wang Yuzhen stepped forward and took out a large woven bag and began to roll up the clothes, trousers and towels on the shelf. Walking at the end, Feng Zitang also obediently leaned back to his mother and stared at the door.

Song Sisi also quietly stuffed the unopened things below into her package while squatting over. When she came in the morning, she vacated a few grids. Unopened goods like this should be disposed of as express packages.

With the stuffing, she saw a face.

On his dirty face, a pair of big round and black eyes were looking at the scared but clean Song Sisi in fear.

The two looked at each other. It was not until Li Mingyan, who was hiding under the shelf, couldn't help blinking his eyes that Song Sisi took a breath and whispered the person in front of them, "Cousin, there is a child here."

Three heads brushed around, one of them took a look and left, continuing to whistle.

"Children, what's your name? Where's your adult?"

Hearing the voice, Li Mingyan, who had been holding on for more than ten years, couldn't stand it anymore. He was opening his mouth and trying to speak, but he didn't say it, and it was dark in front of him, and his head tilted down the goods next to him.

Lao Feng and Song Sisi looked at each other in consternation. Song Sisi stretched out his hand and carried the little girl out of the pile of goods. It's just that there will inevitably be a sound of plastic friction between movements.

Song Sisi's nervous heart almost jumped out of her throat.

Wang Yuzhen took a look and had to add something. Hold the children's shelf next to it with a big hand.

Fortunately, the home textile store not only sells sheets and underwear, but also sells some outerwear. They don't have to venture to the next store to pack up their clothes.

When Feng Dahua left, the couple carried two big bags each. Song Sisi carried Li Mingyan, holding the little girl in one hand and carrying a weapon in the other. Feng Zitang walked to the end with three weapons in his hand.

Several people hurried across the dirty, chaotic and blocked streets. The quiet streets made them involuntarily speed up their pace.

The atmosphere is so weird, too scared!

Just pass through the crashed vehicle in front of you to get to their car, and then get on and leave.

But just then, three zombies slowly shook out of the alley next to them. Feng Dahua happened to step on a car part scattered on the ground, and the iron rubbed against the ground to make a harsh sound.

I'll go! Song Sisi's hair is about to stand up!

Afterglow in her eyes, she had seen the zombie carrying its broken head and looking this way. She was afraid to touch Feng Dahua, who was in front of him and dared not move with the weapon in his hand: "Let's go!"

Feng Dahua, who was nervous and panicked, was ordered to stride forward, listening to the movement behind him, and ran to the car with confidence after hearing the voice of the people behind him.

The zombie strode excitedly to his prey, and Feng Zitang, who fell behind, shouted in fear.

Fuck, it will attract more zombies, this child! But Song Sisi didn't care so much. She still had a child on her back.

Feng Dahua was eager to save his child and didn't take care of so much. He threw the things on his back in the direction of the car quickly. No matter where it fell, he ran directly behind to support his son.

Wang Yuzhen was so scared that tears gushed out, but she also knew what she should do now. She strode forward and ran all the way to the car, pulled the door, and stuffed things into it while crying.

Song Sisi behind him was not idle. He ran to the car quickly, stuffed the children into the co-pilot, and told Wang Yuzhen, "Cousin-law, don't move and watch the car."

Then I took a look at the little pink flowers that no one could see, closed my eyes, cheered up, cheered myself, and rushed over.

After all, Lao Feng was old and had a more stable mentality than his son. He fought with the zombies with weapons while pulling his son back.

Song Sisi crossed over with her crescent axe, and the zombie who rushed to the front suffered this blow, and her head was broken.

I was stunned by Lao Feng and his son. Song Sisi didn't feel well. His hands were numb by the shock, but she still held the axe hard: "Let's go!"

The two zombies in the back were not wise and did not respond to the death of their companions and the dangers in front of them. They only rely on instincts to rush to their prey. And he also looked excited because of the fact that there were more prey.

Old Feng pushed his son and said, "Let's go!" Raise the long knife with both hands and cut at the zombie who rushed to Song Sisi.

Feng Zitang knew that he was a burden, and he didn't have time to play those dramas that reluctantly affectionate father and son, picked up a few weapons on the ground and ran to the car.

Maybe it was a few days of exercise that worked well, maybe it was the blessing of the little pink flower, or maybe the high tension that made Song Sisi burst into unprecedented strength. She raised her hand again and cut off the head of the second zombie.

After cutting, she had no strength at all and couldn't control so much. She put the crescent axe directly into the pink package.

Lao Feng looked at everything and suddenly felt that he couldn't understand this naughty girl's cousin. But there is still a zombie in front of him, and he has to concentrate on it.

One person, one zombie, fought for a while, and Lao Feng seized an opportunity to get rid of the zombies. After solving the zombies, Feng Dahua ran to the car with Song Sisi, who could hardly run.

But the fighting and shouts of the crows have attracted the attention of zombies elsewhere, and a large wave of zombies are pouring here from the streets and alleys in the distance.

"My cousin, drive!"

Before getting on the car, Song Sisi gently pushed Feng Dahua into the cab and insisted on jumping on the co-pilot. Close the door, insert the key, move the children, sit down, and do it in one go.

Feng Dahua had just closed the door, and four or five zombies had rushed over in front of the car. Later, more and more zombies were climbing through the abandoned carriages, crossing the trash cans deliberately dragged to the ground by Feng Dahua and Song Sisi, and stepping on the three zombies that fell to the ground.

"Down!" As soon as Song Sisi looked up and saw Feng Dahua in a daze. I knew she was holding on. Thinking of this, the hand has hung the block to the inverted gear.

Old Feng suddenly reacted by her shout. He gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator, and looked like he couldn't step on the accelerator.

The roar of the car engine speeding stimulated the zombies to rush over, but fortunately, the car has retreated. But it was almost hit by the head-headed zombie on the engine cover.

The mother and son in the back row hugged each other and cried silently, and couldn't bear to make a sound.

Fuck, I was almost scared to death!

Song Sisi put back unwell and held the unconscious child in her arms and helped him up again.

Then the zombie who hit the head fell to the ground and flew over. The movement of the zombie was as slow to the naked eye. A pair of turbid eyes stared straight at Song Sisi.

Or the little girl in her arms.
