Chapter 89 - third snow

“That’s the taste!” The aroma of the beef in the pot gradually became more fragrant as the temperature heated up. Wei Xuan quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times before swallowing it—fragrant Taste, the unique texture of beef, although the taste is not as good as in better restaurants, it already has the feeling of braised beef!

This taste made Wei Xuan squint his eyes with great enjoyment, then he picked up the other two large bowls placed beside him, and poured all the stir-fried potatoes and carrots into it.

For beef stew with potatoes, Wei Xuan prepared a lot of potatoes and carrots. But this is also the reason why beef is relatively rare, otherwise who would not want to eat pure beef stew with rice?

After stir frying for a few times, Wei Weixuan added some water to the cauldron, pumped it in according to the situation, added a little salt, and put it aside for a while to cook slowly.

In fact, according to his original intention, he can soak some of the various vegetables that were dried earlier at home in advance, and add them to the pot to stew together. But think about it—adding so many potatoes and carrots is already aggrieved by the beef, and adding others…it really becomes a big pot of stew! Let’s do this when we go back and deal with those canned birds and pork.

Don’t worry about the vegetables in the cauldron for the time being, Wei Xuan looked at the condition of the rice, saw that all the grains were soaked in water, and immediately turned on the electricity to stew the rice. About half an hour later, most of the potato and beef soup in the cauldron had been collected, and the rice had already been stewed. After tasting the taste and confirming that there was no problem, Wei Xuan came to the living room with a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables to enjoy. Think of his delicious meal today.

“Well, the beef tastes good, I’ll try canned pork later, but those are not in a hurry…” The big pot of dishes made today is enough for Wei Xuan to eat at least three or four meals. And if he doesn’t want to get tired of eating all at once, he can also freeze part of it and eat it slowly later, during which time he can make some relatively simple meal adjustments that he usually makes.

Anyway, he is not prepared to eat this way of eating in a big pot every day. There is still so much bird meat at home to satisfy his hunger, right?

After the variety of food that can be eaten at home has been enriched, Wei Xuan’s anxiety about being in the apocalypse for the last time has almost disappeared. After eating, he put some of the remaining dishes into the freezer, and the rest was frozen in portions in his own freezer—a drawer was specially cleared out of the freezer in this room for special storage Other things, the bird meat in it was naturally put in the freezer on the second floor.

After eating meat, Wei Xuan lived a leisurely life. Now he has breakfast every day after getting up, and then he takes Du Hang for a stroll around the neighborhood. While confirming that the situation in the community is normal and that the zombies in the community are not lost, by the way, feed Dad Du and go to see the couple of male and female zombies. He spent the rest of the time dealing with the walls that had collapsed in the earthquake earlier, reinforcing them to prevent his own zombies from accidentally wandering out of these places. By the way, find some handy weapons for the male and female zombies, lest they accidentally dismantle something in the house.

Wei Xuan was lucky enough to find a lot of semi-finished steel pipes in a nearby hardware store. Most of these steel pipes were too long. ? It was the half-zombie Du Hang who had the same power as the pair of male and female zombies!

Putting the steel pipes in Du Hang’s hands, it didn’t take long under Wei Xuan’s guidance to break all the pipes into lengths of about one meter with his bare hands!

This length is not only very convenient for the pair of zombies to swing and even throw, it is also very convenient for Wei Xuan to use.

After finding these alternative murder weapons, Wei Xuan directly led the two zombies out, and asked them to carry their own weapons to another room on the top floor that was relatively intact, and changed their residence for them.

Although it seemed that the two zombies were not used to changing their residence for no reason at first, but after a few rounds in the room, the two of them seemed to be honest.

What made Wei Xuan feel a little toothache was that the young zombie seemed to have a special liking for the pink sheets and pink bedding in this new room, contrary to his previous habit of wandering around the window once he entered the room, Instead, I always like to sit on that bed.

Pink sheets and quilts… In the pink room, two male zombies are sitting side by side on the big bed… The picture is so beautiful that Wei Xuan couldn’t look directly at the short zombie who seemed to inspire a girl’s heart, Every time I come to visit these two guys, I come and go in a hurry, and I will never stay long!

The weather became cooler day by day. Wei Xuan continued his repair work on the base of the community in the breezy autumn days, and also used his free time to wash all the feathers collected at home one after another while the autumn rain was falling. After cleaning, sterilizing and drying, put them into various non-woven bags collected before and sew them together to make feather pillows.

Because the feathers of those mutated birds are relatively rough, this kind of feather pillows are not suitable for people to use, so Wei Xuan made these and only planned to use them as cushions to block the wind and keep the room warm in winter.

On the other hand, when the time entered November and was about to reach mid-November, snowflakes fell in the sky again.

When Wei Xuan noticed that the sky outside had turned gray and snowflakes were falling, he couldn’t tell whether it was normal snowfall at first. Or blame the snow?

Because although counting from the time, it is almost the third time for strange snow this year, but now the weather has also reached the time for ordinary snow.

But after the snow fell, Wei Xuan found that Du Hang around him and the zombies in the community all raised their heads and looked towards the sky with their mouths half-opened, which made it certain that it was that kind of strange snow that was falling now!

“Then you have to act quickly!”

According to Wei Xuan’s calculations before, it was roughly estimated that it should be the time when the strange snow falls, so all the pots and pans on the roof of the community have been spread out, just waiting for the snow. After confirming that this snow was the strange snow he was expecting, Wei Xuan immediately went downstairs to start a new round of collecting strange snow.

He is now planting those plants with a planter, and usually needs to water them with water from dissolved snowflakes. So he recently consumed much more snowflakes than before. The previous collection method is no longer suitable, so he must find a way to increase the chance of collecting snowflakes.

Fortunately, the zombies would obediently stand still when the strange snow fell, waiting for the strange snow to fall into their mouths automatically. In this way, even if you put some pots and jars to collect snowflakes in the community, or even where these zombies hang out, they will not be knocked over and dirty by the wandering zombies!

Wei Xuan has collected a batch of pots and pots when he was sorting out things around the community recently, and put them in the corridors or rooms on the first floor of each building, and now he can use those things!

As soon as Wei Xuan made a move, Du Hang, who was looking at the sky outside and opened his mouth to wait for the snowflakes, no longer continued to act without objection, but followed Wei Xuan closely as usual.

Originally, when Wei Xuan found out that the strange snow was falling, he deliberately untied the ropes around the waists of the two of them. When he went downstairs, he found that Du Hang was still following him, and he couldn’t help but smiled wryly at him: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t have to follow me today. Today is a special day.”

Maybe zombies eating this kind of pure natural snowflakes have a different effect from eating crystallized snowflakes? Wei Xuan didn’t want to affect Du Hang’s normal evolution.

It’s a pity that Du Hang obviously still couldn’t understand what he was talking about, so he followed behind him obediently. But after the two walked out of the building, although Du Hang was still following Wei Xuan, he half raised his head and still opened his mouth to catch the snowflakes…

Wei Xuan couldn’t help laughing when he discovered this, but he didn’t insist on stopping Du Hang’s actions, he could do whatever he liked.

Take out the pots, pots, and jars that were previously hidden in each building, and place them in some places in the community where they can receive snow but do not affect the activities of the zombies. After finishing the work, Wei Xuan returns home to continue his work. Work.

This time the snow fell for as long as the first strange snow, it fell from 3:00 pm on the first day to 12:00 noon the next day before it stopped.

Wei Xuan didn’t sleep well this morning because he was worried about the pots and pans outside, and woke up several times to observe the situation outside, so as soon as the snowflakes stopped outside and the zombies resumed their usual activities, he quickly got up and went down again. went upstairs.

This time, he not only had to clean up the pots and pots placed on the road in the community, but also collected as much unmelted snowflakes into the pots as possible, and then melted and dried them together.

Things like snowflakes are very important to Wei Xuan now. It’s just that when the strange snow fell for the first time, he didn’t have the opportunity, let alone the physical strength to collect it. The second time because it was hot, even if Wei Xuan wanted to collect more, he had no chance as the snow melted so quickly.

But now that the weather has cooled down, the snow will not melt away in a short while!

So he wants to collect as much snow as possible that has accumulated in the community and has a relatively clean surface before the snowflakes melt!

Wei Xuan’s figure was running around in the community, looking very busy. He prioritized collecting as much snow as possible around the pots and pots into those containers, compacted it, and piled it up, and then moved the pots into the nearby community. In the middle, avoid the only way that the zombies sway. Then climbed up to the roof and collected the relatively clean snow on the roof into those containers on the roof.

Afterwards, Wei Xuan and his younger brother Du Hang hang around the community with large buckets, collecting all the surface snow that can be seen and relatively clean places into the bucket.

Wei Xuan knew that collecting the nearby snow so quickly after it had just snowed would easily attract the attention of people or creatures flying nearby. It’s just that he doesn’t have a good method for the time being, and he can’t go to a further place to collect it slowly. So he can only take one step at a time.

What Wei Xuan didn’t expect, let alone noticed in his previous life, is that these strange snows seem to be really different from ordinary snows!

After ordinary snow falls in such a cold day, it cannot be completely melted for a long time. But this kind of strange snow was only on the day when it stopped, and it was covered with snow everywhere. After another night, Wei Xuan got up and was shocked to find that there was not even a trace of snow outside!
