Doomsday magician

Chapter 152 Unfriendly Neighbor
The attack of the solar wind and the continuous eruption of flares marked the complete interruption of the satellite communication that human beings were once proud of.The pre-apocalyptic world was once advertised as a global village, but now the distance between people has been shortened again.

However, this incident will not have any impact on the convoy in the Gushan villa area in a short period of time.

Under Xu Bai's command, the survivors who experienced the flare incident got busy again.Soon, not only bungalows for the survivors were completed one by one, but also three greenhouses with an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters were also completed one by one.After installing the support frame and plastic sheeting, they can officially start growing vegetables.

For these few vegetable sheds that gathered the hopes of more than a hundred people in the team, everyone paid great attention to them, and they were extremely precious.

"Be careful, whoever breaks the plastic sheet, I will punish him not to eat vegetables for a week!" Seeing a somewhat excited survivor act recklessly, Leopard hurriedly stopped in distress.

"I said, it's not that easy to break, okay?"

Although the survivor complained, he still consciously relaxed his movements.

After two hours of busy work, the three vegetable sheds were covered with a layer of high-quality plastic sheeting with high transparency.The corners of them were carefully pressed by the survivors with bricks, and only a small door was opened on the side facing away from the sun for people to enter and exit.Later, some other survivors began to arrange grass thatch.It is a pity that the number of grass thatch is only enough to cover a vegetable shed for the time being.

This is not a problem, just let Huang Keqin and the others go for a trip later.

Next, there are specific steps such as leveling the soil, putting down the seeds, watering and fertilizing.

Xu Bai didn't know how to grow vegetables, and he didn't bother to ask.He simply made a hands-off shopkeeper, and the specific steps were supervised by Leopard.

After being entrusted with an important task by Xu Bai, Leopard had no choice but to become a vegetable farmer and convene several people overnight to study planting teaching materials.After everyone groped, they also vaguely got some experience.About four or five days later, greenery first appeared in the greenhouse plastic vegetable shed where grass thatch had been keeping warm at night.This made many survivors of the convoy realize that they are so close to the day when they can eat fresh vegetables.

Of course, there are more and more idlers wandering around the vegetable shed with their eyes shining and swallowing their saliva.

It's not that they are all foodies, but that they just eat a single food these days, and everyone's stomach can't bear it.

However, Leopard, who already looks like a vegetable farmer, is very dissatisfied with this progress.After inspecting the three vegetable sheds, he rubbed his chin and said, "If the temperature is sufficient and the water and fertilizer are sufficient, it should be able to germinate faster."

"Moisture? Fertilizer?"

There is a deep-water motorized well behind the villa, so there is no big problem with water use. The water that the team drinks these days is also pumped from that motorized well.From the current point of view, the deep-water well has sufficient water source, and it is not a problem to supply three more vegetable sheds.As for the fertilizer, Xu Bai and the others had brought over half a truck. Even if the area of ​​the three vegetable sheds was ten times larger, the fertilizer should be enough.

"So, the temperature in the vegetable shed is not enough?" Xu Bai quickly discovered the crux of the problem.

Leopard nodded and said, "Our greenhouse does not have any heating equipment. We only rely on sunlight and thatch to keep warm, so the effect is somewhat poor."

However, there is no way.

At the vegetable shed at the foot of the mountain, Xu Bai noticed that most of their greenhouses use electrical equipment such as heating pipes and heaters to ensure the temperature.But the solar energy in the villa can only be used for self-use, and diesel generators are too fuel-intensive, and the input and output are not proportional.Oil is scarce in the last days, and no one is willing to use oil in such a place.

"The traditional method is to build a sealed furnace and then use wood, coal, etc. to heat it. It should be fine."

Leopard's proposal is feasible, but there is no coal in the villa, so we still have to go down the mountain.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Okay, it seems that we have to send a convoy down the mountain—I'm worried that if we go in and out of Gushan so frequently, will the zombies be brought in? I heard from our old Fan that the zombies It is judged based on the unique magnetic field possessed by human life, the more people gather, the greater the influence of the magnetic field will be. If tens of thousands of 10,000+ zombies happen to be led to the edge of Gushan, they might be able to detect us.”

This theory is an unintentional guess made by Professor Xia in the biological laboratory of the base. Although there is no evidence to prove it, it can explain why zombies can chase all the way from hundreds of kilometers away. Increased communication, heard from him.

The motorcade of more than a hundred people in the villa area is of course not very attractive to zombies, but if there are too many people going in and out of Gushan, there may be some accidents.

"Then, let's try to bring everything back this time. Coal, grass thatch, salt, contraceptives, etc., and make a list later."

"Ok."

After everyone brainstormed all night, the next day, the convoy dispatched [-] vehicles and went down the mountain to start the largest collection of materials.Leopard's slogan is that there are still nearly two months before the Chinese New Year.Before the Spring Festival, the team does not need to go down the mountain.

This time, Yuliu personally led the team, and more than 40 people went out in the team.

The originally lively villa area suddenly lost nearly half of its people, and suddenly seemed much deserted.At the same time, most of the remaining people continued to build bungalows and fortifications, so that there were only six or seven people living in the three-story villas.Xu Bai was also able to sit leisurely on the sofa and turn on the home theater to play a movie.

Since the outbreak of the end of the world, he has been killing zombies, or running around in different footholds, and he is rarely as leisurely as he is today.But once a person is free, he will inevitably think about many things.From Xu Bai's point of view, although the Hollywood blockbuster shown in front of him was very exciting and thrilling, it just seemed a bit boring.

Sitting next to him and accompanying him, Zhang Yu'er somewhat felt her man's state of mind—it was a kind of faint confusion.

Participating in the formation of a convoy and finding such a relatively safe place, it seems that there is no need to worry about food and clothing for the time being; looking to the future, the eradication of zombies and the rebuilding of civilization are far away, and the central base and other provincial and municipal bases have not shown any major problems. Unified momentum.This means that the current situation of zombies occupying human territory will continue.Apart from working hard to improve his magic, Xu Bai didn't know what to do for a while.

Eat, drink and have fun?

Maybe Xu Bai has the capital, but that kind of life seems quite boring.Of course, except for accompanying Zhang Yu'er.However, it is impossible for him to stay with the girl around him all the time.

Therefore, the little An Yi in front of him made him a little dazed.

Fortunately, Xu Bai can occasionally accept the saying that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.Since he didn't know what to do, he decided that it would be good to just relax for a few days.After all, people don't have to live for some big goal. Relaxation and happiness are also part of life.

It's a pity that the few days of vacation he finally gave himself were quickly interrupted.

Leopard, who came back early with a few trucks, had a strange look on his face. After getting off the car, he went straight to the villa.After seeing Xu Bai, he didn't care to wipe the sweat off his face and said, "Guess who I saw on the way back?"

"Who?"

Looking at the leopard like this, that person should have seen it himself.But Xu Bai thought over and over again, but he couldn't be sure of the identity of the person Leopard saw.

"Do you remember Jin'an base? We killed Gu Qingyuan and left immediately."

Being mentioned by Leopard, Xu Bai thought about it for a while, and had a vague guess in his heart.Shouldn't it?That would be too much of a coincidence.

"It's that Gu Qingwan." Leopard knew that Xu Bai had already remembered, so he slapped his thigh and said, "He is very powerful now, and there are at least 60 or [-] people under his command. In addition, there are no less than four vehicles of all kinds. Ten, and one wheeled armored vehicle from nowhere."

"Really her?"

Although he had already made preparations, he was still a little shocked and surprised when he got the news from Leopard's mouth.

After meeting that person, Gu Qingwan, Xu Bai felt that she was not an ordinary person.But the end of the world is so dangerous, and there are third-order zombies as a big killer, who would have thought of seeing each other again after breaking up for so long?

Speaking of this, Xu Bai found that the people around him were really special.You Huizhong, whom I met first, was later seen at the Sichuan-Tibet Base; Lin Ming, who was when I met Wenqing, was also seen after more than two months of separation; now even Gu Qingwan, who was at odds with me, can meet again, This is really...

However, from Leopard's words, it can be heard that Gu Qingwan's ability is really not ordinary.

Thinking about it, many benefits should have fallen into her hands at the beginning. With those materials, she seems to have gathered a lot of men.However, something like an armored vehicle is a bit against the sky. How did he get it?After lamenting the miracle of fate, Xu Bai noticed that the leopard still had that strange look on his face.He froze for a moment and asked, "Why, is there anything wrong?"

"Have."

Leopard unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip, then continued: "I look at her, she seems to have escaped from some city-level base that was breached. God knows what she thinks, she actually followed us into Gushan, and settled down just Calculating the distance carefully on an independent villa that is only two hills away from us, it may be less than thirty kilometers."

"So close?"

Xu Bai was taken aback, and suddenly felt a little more uneasy.

If you don't count your own magic, from the comparison of strength on the surface, it seems that Gu Qingwan's strength is slightly stronger than his team.Moreover, that Gu Qingwan seemed quite ambitious.At the thought of such a wave of survivors dozens of kilometers away, Xu Bai didn't know whether to be happy or be wary.

After losing the deterrence of law and state violence, in the last days, the survivors' meetings did not all end in amicable terms.

Perhaps, I need to start strengthening the team's defensive strength.

After all, this neighbor is not very friendly.
