Chapter 94 - vegetable?

Wei Xuan sat at the table, holding oatmeal in both hands, on one side of the plate was a half-eaten potato pancake, and on the side of the plate was a steak marinated with bird meat that was fried to overflowing with aroma.

Although it is not really “morning”, for a person whose biological clock has been adjusted to a weird state, this meal is indeed his first meal after waking up.

The shelf life of oatmeal is obviously much longer than that of instant rice, but if you eat those rice every day, no one can bear it after a long time. And in fact, the amount of rice he brought back was not too much. He ate it one after another every day, and now there was not much left, so naturally, there was no hurry to eliminate the rest.

Today has entered December, and the city where all the plants have been barren due to the arrival of the end of the world is even more depressed than in previous years.

At this time, Wei Xuan was looking at the scenery outside the window. Perhaps it should be said that he mainly observed the sky. On the one hand, every day when he gets up and goes out for action, he will always carefully observe the situation in the sky outside, so as to avoid passing by such as airplanes, mutant birds, and flying supernatural beings. Only now it wasn’t these things that he was mainly looking at, but the sky itself—a gloomy, gray expanse.

“It’s going to snow.” He sighed, and took another sip of hot porridge. There was a cylindrical electric heater under the table where he was sitting and next to his feet. There is an electric heater. Not to mention that there is an induction cooker on the table, and a pot of snow water is boiling on it at this time.

This room is the bedroom in this house, and Wei Xuan deliberately moved the desk, the two electric heaters, the big TV in the living room, the game consoles and laptops he collected, etc. in order to keep warm and warm. Come in.

The only thing that can’t be moved in is the two vegetable planters, unless he makes great efforts to remove the integrated cabinet in the bedroom and bring the two devices in. Not to mention that removing the cabinet will completely destroy the decoration of the entire bedroom, and the cabinet will no longer be useful. It is only said that the two devices themselves have a constant temperature effect, and the difference between moving them in or not is not too big. So Wei Xuan just thought about it at the beginning, and then threw this idea to the sky.

“Unfortunately, the temperature has dropped below zero every night recently, causing all the snow water in those pots and pans to freeze, and now there is so much water left that has not evaporated…” Even though the water freezes, it will also dry out , but the speed is completely incomparable with the evaporation speed in summer.

Since the snow water was collected last time, only about two-thirds of the snow water has evaporated so far. Now that the weather has become so cold, who knows when the remaining snow water will be completely evaporated?

Fortunately, Wei Xuan combined most of the water before the weather completely cooled down, freeing up some pots and pans to catch rainwater or normal snow. After the snow, his family couldn’t even collect the daily water.

Although he was a little worried and worried, Wei Xuan didn’t worry too much about it. He just kept those ice cubes. Anyway, the snowflakes he had stored and boiled from time to time should be enough to survive this winter. The only thing he hopes now is that before the first strange snow falls in February next year, he can evaporate all the snow water collected before.

After eating a warm breakfast and tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, Wei Xuan dragged Du Hang to climb to the top floor together, moved the whole basin of ice cubes that were still air-dried on the roof to the room on the sixth floor, and moved all the roof Clean them all up and replace them with clean containers one by one, ready to hold snow when it snows.

In fact, the big advantage of collecting rainwater in winter compared to summer is that the melting speed of snow is slow. Even if there are fewer containers and not much snow can be received, relatively clean snow can be collected one after another to be processed and used instead. It needs to be like summer, every time it rains, you have to prepare all the containers in a hurry and nervously, and process the water in time to collect it.

After finishing these tasks, the sky was completely dark, and the sky was covered by thick clouds. There was no starlight at all, and the position of the moon at this time could not be found.

When returning to the room on the sixth floor, Wei Xuan took a look around. In the room and in the corridor, there were large and small containers everywhere, all of which were frozen with crystal clear ice. As long as there is a slight light, it can reflect Dazzling brilliance.

This floor is now the coldest place except the top floor and the outside, not because the doors and windows of all the rooms here are open, let alone because no one lives here, but because—now there are a lot of big ice lumps here! The feeling of wind-cold and icy-cold merged into one, which made Wei Xuan, who had already put on a thick down jacket, shiver a few times.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with this floor as usual, Wei Xuan took Du Hang back to the building where the two lived, climbed up to the top floor again, and fetched a smaller bucket full of ice cream. Block, brought it to the room where the two lived, and put the barrel next to the living room heater to melt.

There is no way, almost all the strange snow and snow water are frozen now. After boiling all the snow water brought back to the room earlier, Wei Xuan can only use this method to warm up these ice cubes first. Melt them, then cook them later when you need them.

The ice cubes brought down a few days ago have been boiled to nothing. If you bring this bucket back and leave it overnight, it will turn into water tomorrow. Of course, the temperature in the living room will definitely drop a lot after this thing is brought down, which is also a major reason why he is unwilling to stay in the living room for activities and move almost all life and entertainment into the bedroom.

But at this time Wei Xuan was not in a hurry to go back to the bedroom to rest. He first baked for a while next to the circuit placed in the living room to warm up his hands, and then walked to the planting machine.

Inside, there are a bunch of healthy crops growing luxuriantly. Those emerald green leaves and strong rhizomes first made Wei Xuan curl up his mouth in a good mood, and then sighed somewhat helplessly: “How long did you grow?” What has become of it?”

There are indeed many green plants with roots, stems and leaves in this machine. However, except for a green onion, almost all the plants are completely different from Wei Xuan’s impression of what they should have…

Let’s not mention the ones that Wei Xuan hasn’t eaten or seen them in their full form before serving, but he can still recognize plants like lettuce, but now this one has slender branches and leaves with sharp serrations on the sides , The entire leaf feels like a weird willow-like plant cut out of metal… Is it really grown from lettuce seeds? ?

And that spinach, the roots of some spinach will turn red, but it is obviously abnormal for Hongcheng to look like this! And if it was dark red, green with reddish Wei Xuan, he would dare to try it, but this kind of bright red… Shu Weixuan felt very sorry for his life, and he really didn’t dare to try it lightly.

There are also many vegetables that have directly evolved from herbs to trees. God knows what they will look like in the end? Wei Xuan, who has no shortage of potatoes, has no choice but to let it go for the time being. After this winter is over, he will transplant these strange crops outside to see if they can continue to grow. After that, he can free up the machine and continue to try other methods. Variety of vegetable seeds, to see if we can produce some edible plants.

After putting away the ice bucket, warming his hands, and looking at the conditions of the vegetables, Wei Xuan began to take off his coat, and then helped Du Hang take off his coat, gloves, and shoes, etc. After he took off all the thick clothes Wei Xuan, who stood in front of Du Hang, welcomed Du Hang’s kiss again. Well, he did it on purpose. Although he is a bit self-deceiving, Wei Xuan never tires of getting a kiss from his beloved after a busy day at work last night… This kind of life really makes him happy.

And Du Hang also seems to have a very strong interest in this kind of intimate contact. Since both of them like it very much, and no one (zombies) around expresses objection, protest and violence to stop it, there is naturally no need to change this habit. no?

In a good mood, Wei Xuan took Du Hang to the bathroom to wash his hands and face first, then took out a portion of instant rice with braised pork rice, heated it up, returned to the bedroom and sat at the table while watching a movie saved in his notebook, while enjoying the hot water. A baked lunch to get through the long night.

Unlike when it is hot, there is usually nothing to be busy on winter nights. In summer, it may be necessary to dispose of returned potatoes, carrots, etc., but it is not necessary to wait until winter. In addition to other things that need to be dealt with and busy in daily life, Wei Xuan has already taken care of everything in the early days of the end of the world. Now I really have no other entertainment except Maodong.

After dinner, Wei Xuan directly put his laptop on the table, and simply lay on his side on the bed to watch a movie and get fat. Du Hang also lay obediently and obediently beside him, offering an arm as a pillow. Wei Xuan, who focused all his eyes on the screen, couldn’t see it. When Du Hang was lying behind him, his eyesight became different from usual again, and he didn’t have the feeling of bewilderment when he looked into the void. Instead, he lowered his head slightly and looked at Wei Xuan lying in his arms.

At this time, Wei Xuan’s back was facing him, and he couldn’t easily see his face as usual when he fell asleep at night, facing Du Hang, or looking up. If Du Hang could touch his lips by lowering his head when he was sleeping, that kind of breath would be much stronger than usual when he was in contact with him. The biggest reason why he kisses him once confronted.

But what exactly is that feeling? What will I get after touching it for a long time?

Inexplicably, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in the consciousness that seemed to be full of deep mist, like a firefly suddenly flying in the dark night, although the light was extremely weak and faint, but it was extremely faint. glaring.

In Du Hang’s eyes, for the first time, doubt appeared…
