Chapter 25 Returning to the farm and collecting water

After inserting the key, Nan Xing started the car and drove in the direction of Cracked Stone Farm.

She needs to reorganize supplies and farms, and with a car, it will be much easier to explore around.

Getting to town was no problem either.

She also wondered what Will's key contained.

There were also sparse zombies roaming the road, and Nan Xing used them to test the car's anti-collision ability.

As expected of a military product, it easily crushed a zombie.

Except for the high fuel consumption, everything else belongs to the god car of the end of the world.

Nan Xing glanced at the fuel gauge, and it was probably enough to drive about 50 kilometers.

Counting the oil in the farm truck, it was barely enough for her for a while.

Go to the town to collect gasoline and food, which should be enough.

The distance between the farm and the nursing home is not too far. Nanxing drove at a constant speed for more than an hour.

In fact, there were a lot of zombies on the road, and Nan Xing encountered a small group of corpses in the middle, more than 30, which took her a lot of effort.

When we drove to the farm, half of the gasoline in the car was gone.

The car was parked outside the fence of the farm, Nan Xing took out the binoculars and looked inside.

The farm hadn't been visited since she left, and it was the same.

This made Nan Xing heave a sigh of relief.

Zombies are not scary, but people are scary.

Very troublesome.

Knock on the fence to attract all the wandering zombies in the farm.

She climbed onto the roof of the car, and with her sore arms, she drew the bow and arrows stained with the blood of the zombies and shot them one by one.

Nan Xing's quasi-headshot is getting better and better, of course, it may also be because of the short distance.

When she settles down, she plans to practice with a few targets on the farm.

Compared with guns, bows and arrows with no movement are the sharpest weapon against zombies.

The gun is too loud, and if you can get your hands on a suppressor, you can barely use it.

However, she has seen popular science videos before, and it seems that she needs a special subsonic bomb, otherwise the sound will still be the same.

She'd better use bows and arrows honestly, and make more arrows, the effect would be the same.

After cleaning up the zombies on the farm, Nan Xing opened the fence, drove the car in, and stopped in front of the box wall at the door.

After getting out of the car, she changed the bow and arrow in her hand to a gun, opened the door with the key, and carefully explored the room with the gun in hand.

There is no trace of human life, and no trace of human presence.

A thin layer of dust had accumulated on the table, and the house had a unique smell that no one had lived in for a long time.

Nan Xing continued to search the nearby warehouse and the tool room she hadn't visited, and confirmed that there was no one else in the whole farm except her.

She just sat on the sofa, rinsed her mouth and face, and prepared to eat a late breakfast.

It's 47:[-] in the morning, I'm full, so I don't need to have lunch.

There is still a lot of work waiting for her to do.

Nan Xing took out the only bottle of mineral water left before, as well as milk salt soda biscuits, shriveled apples, Wang Wang snow cakes, cut a little sausage and wheel cheese.

The fire barrel was still in the house, and Nan Xing lit the fire, and put the sausage and wheel cheese on the dagger to roast.

The house is full of fragrance, and an unusually rich breakfast is ready.

After a satisfying meal, Nan Xing felt full of strength.

Half of the sausage was left, saving it for evening.

Nan Xing went to the forest with guns, bows and arrows and tools.

There was no drinkable water in her space except for the small half bottle of water left before.

Water must be collected.

The birch sap from before should still be drinkable, and she remembered to cover the container with some paper to prevent dust from falling.

If it has not been contaminated by zombies, it can still be used.

When I came back to the place where the birch sap was before, there was already a lot of water in the container.

In addition to the birch sap, there is also water vapor in the air. The humidity in the woods is very high, and there will be a layer of mist in the early morning.

Nan Xing thought of another way to collect them.

She doesn't have enough plastic wrap on hand, though, so condoms can go first.

Nan Xing pursed her lips and smiled, now she doesn't need to worry about water.

She also had four unused condoms in her space.

Nan Xing looked around to make sure there was no danger. She first collected the water in more than a dozen containers and filled a bucket full.

There should be about ten liters.

Because birch sap is mixed, these water stars are reserved for drinking.

She wasn't sure if it could be used to water the plants, so she tried not to use it.

After picking out a suitable container, Nan Xing collected the tools scattered in the forest and found the hoe inside.

This is what she originally planned to use for picking herbs, but now it is just right for digging pits.

Dig four holes in the ground and place a suitable container in the center of the holes.

Then flatten the condom and cover it on the mouth of the pit, press the surrounding area with soil, and put a small stone on the condom to make it in the shape of an inverted cone.

Make a mark to prevent her from knowing if someone moves her.

In this way, the cold air at night makes the water vapor rising in the pit condense into water droplets on the condom, and gather and drip, entering the container.

In order to gather more water vapor, Nan Xing also put a lot of leaves and grass in the pit.

Such a pit can collect half a liter to a liter of water in one night.

When she finds more plastic sheets, she can dig more holes and collect more water.

Sooner or later, you can take a luxurious shower and wash your hair.

The water source in the wild is too unsafe, maybe it will be polluted by zombies at some point.

Nan Xing didn't even dare to use that water for washing.

Although this method is a bit stupid, it is better than safe and reliable.

"Squeak-"

Nan Xing looked up, and a squirrel was watching her movements curiously.

Squirrel.

Are there many fruits in this forest?

If it can still be here in autumn, you can find its winter food and save it in an emergency.

After doing all this, Nan Xing was not in a hurry to continue exploring the forest.

Now that the water source has been secured, she will plant potatoes next.

Potatoes only need two or three months from sowing to harvesting.

By growing the potatoes, she would not have to worry about food.

Although there are only six potatoes left in the space, if you plant them well, you can reap a lot.

A full year is enough for her to harvest two or three batches.

Nan Xing packed up his things, dug a large basket of pictures in the forest, put them in a cart, and temporarily put them into the space.

She wants to take it back to plant potatoes, but she doesn't know if the soil in the farm is fertile or not.

But seeing how lush the plants are here, the soil must be fertile.

"Grey-black soil, I won't dig black soil, right?" Nan Xing said to himself, walking towards the farm.

After planting the potatoes, she has to strengthen the farm, and then look for other plants that can be planted in the farm.

Tomatoes are also a good choice, and the planting cycle is also short.
