Chapter 179 - winter preparation

The simple and elegant wallpaper with a white background was perfectly pasted on the wall. Wei Xuan looked around the room, and after confirming that there were no omissions or problems, he nodded with a satisfied smile on his face: “Not bad, it was pasted.” Good.”

The little zombies in the room who were in charge of the decoration work were still sending out the message of “It’s done, it’s done” when they just finished pasting the wallpaper. At this time, after receiving Wei Xuan’s praise, their brainwaves collectively paused , and then bursts of triumphant emotions “I’ve been praised, I’ve been praised…”

In the face of many mature zombies, Wei Xuan was very used to their emotions of being able to understand their own words and give back messages, so he patted the nearest zombie and said: “Okay, You guys go down first, the house has to be aired before the furniture can be moved back.”

The photographed zombie brother swayed out of the room exuding the bubbling emotions of happiness after being praised by the master. Du Hang beside him pressed Wei Xuan’s shoulders with both hands and adjusted his front to the front, kissing him.

Wei Xuan rolled his eyes helplessly, his skill of actively adjusting his posture now feels more and more smooth, and he really didn’t know what to say for a while. The last few zombie boys who came out of the room noticed that the two behind them were playing kiss again, so they switched their emotions back to the resentment mode, and walked downstairs reluctantly while thinking about it.

“You bastard… let’s go, let’s go back there first.” Unable to poke Du Hang’s chest, Wei Xuan sighed and pulled him to the house next door that was used as a temporary residence.

Since the refurbishment of the original living room, Wei Xuan and Du Hang have temporarily lived next door, and the house they originally lived in has entered a long period of drying the house.

Anyway, the two of them are not in a hurry to wish to go back now, and no one is asking him for rent money, so even if he lives next door for a year or so, he will have no pressure at all.

Until now, Wei Xuan still didn’t know if his heartbeat had changed. Unlike professional medical workers, Wei Xuan, who had hardly suffered from any illness in the last two lifetimes, was able to discover something wrong with his body temperature by accident. It is already very difficult and very coincidental. So to this day, he has never considered the possibility of the same heartbeat at all.

What’s more, even if you have a brain hole in this area, you can feel your heart is still beating vigorously as long as you touch your chest and pulse. Wei Xuan, who passed by clinics and hospitals for the first time and saw a stethoscope and more than one ECG monitor, naturally did not think about measuring whether his heart rate at this time would be different from that of a normal person. ?

Because of this, when the bosses of a certain base are preoccupied, he lives leisurely as before, without any worries at all except body temperature.

After pasting the wallpaper this time, it doesn’t take too long to dry the house. Even though it’s late autumn and winter is about to come, those wallpapers can definitely dry completely in less than three to five days.

Wei Xuan is going to screen in advance, and replace all unnecessary, unused, and not practical furniture in the previous house. As for the target to be replaced—there are so many residents in the community, there are always some that are more suitable. The furniture he likes can be replaced.

What’s more, even if there is no furniture that he can look at at all, he can simply invite the little hands-on expert Du Hang and the zombies to help him build new furniture. The decoration city got boards of various materials, which are just right for making furniture.

During the next few days of drying the house, Wei Xuan walked around inside and outside the community, checked all the available furniture in the community again, and then came to the conclusion that the furniture does not need to be rebuilt at all, just pull some from other rooms. it is good. Afterwards, I wandered around the room waiting to dry a few more times, drew a design drawing of how the furniture should be placed in a small notebook, and waited until the house was completely dry before dragging a group of younger brothers to move the furniture. , rearrange the “new” home.

When Wei Xuan was in full swing in his own community, he was tossing and decorating in various ways, and the remaining large bases in the country were also tossing and tossing at this time.

As the weather gets colder day by day, other people’s body temperature drops more or less even like Wei Xuan’s, but people who have not dropped much will still feel hot in summer and cold in winter. Heat to death or freeze to death.

People who have experience in wintering in the past year and have fully adapted to the post-apocalyptic life this year are all making preparations for wintering at this time without exception.

Pots and pots of potatoes and carrots planted on the base, on the roof, on the window sill, and even in the aisle of the room were dug up one after another, cut into strips or stringed up to hang to dry, or just put them in a sunny place to dry. As an important ration during winter.

The periphery of some bases is relatively safer, and there are not many mutated animals, plants, and zombies in the vicinity, so people in this type of base have reclaimed the land near the base long ago and planted large patches of potatoes and carrots. It’s time to harvest the food.

However, at this time, these bases that were reclaiming agricultural land outside were attacked to varying degrees.

The attackers were undoubtedly those mutated birds that had a special reaction to green!

Mutant birds will respond to green, and some small bases may have been vaguely discovered since last year and this summer. But because many bases put the work of growing food in the farmland that can be found nearby, most of these farmlands have been occupied by mutated animals that appeared from nowhere after the spring of this year, which led to although some doubts , But not many people really realize this habit of mutant birds.

But now, when the autumn harvest is approaching, the sudden outburst of these flying birds suddenly broke the fragile balance of mutual avoidance and retreat between humans and mutant birds.

If there is no food, they must wait to be starved to death. And if you really fight with these mutated birds, maybe you can get some meat back and use it as rations for winter! So this battle must be fought and must be won!

Battles between humans and mutated animals are taking place outside numerous bases. This battle seems to come suddenly, but it is reasonable. The so-called sudden, of course, refers to the fact that in this year, except for the beginning of spring, there is no conflict between humans and zombies, and between mutated animals and plants. It is reasonable to say that the ancient people still hunt vigorously before the winter, and the animals also hunt and store food before the winter. In the early years, people would store Chinese cabbage and coal before the winter. This is all nature. law!

At the same time, the very few bases that already have a good medical level and have been tirelessly studying the causes of zombie viruses after the end of the world have also discovered changes in human body temperature and heartbeat. If you are pessimistic, guess at the first time, is this problem caused by the zombie virus? Will it cause all human beings to eventually become completely zombified?

The optimistic ones are speculating that maybe this is just a gradual adjustment process of human beings after the apocalypse, just like people possessing supernatural powers, only a slight change in physique will make the human body more adaptable to the apocalyptic life after a while. It will not bring disaster to mankind.

But no matter what kind of speculation it is, all the bases also adopted a unanimous decision this time-to my lord, they never mentioned this matter to other bases, and only secretly studied it.

If this is just an unexpected situation that only happened in one’s own base, maybe it will not only cause adverse effects internally, but also cause people in other bases around to covet it?

You know, after nearly two years of the end of the world, almost all the materials of the bases have been consumed in large quantities, and fewer and fewer people have penetrated into the cities. It is normal for the bases that cannot be replenished to focus on each other. .

At the same time, at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, several small bases annexed and clashed with each other. Most of the other bases who knew about this also kept a silent wait-and-see attitude. No one can spare their hands to deal with these matters, and no one wants to get into trouble. Even in some bases in the country, the current leaders are no longer those in the early days of the end of the world.

—————

On the day of Lidong, Wei Xuan commanded the zombie brothers to move the large pieces of furniture into his redecorated room one by one in a comfortable mood.

The room is a little smaller than the previous one, and one floor lower. It is certain that all the original furniture cannot be moved back into the house. In addition to the new furniture selected by Wei Xuan that is more suitable for him, he also planned carefully and carefully measured the size and length of each furniture in each room with a ruler. They were brought in sequentially.

As the bedroom is the main activity room, that big bed is naturally essential. The original wardrobe was replaced by Wei Xuan with a larger wardrobe that can be completely attached to one side of the wall, which is more practical.

The big round table that would be placed in the room earlier was also replaced by a table with a pull-out and simple structure that can be adjusted in size at any time during this treasure hunt in the community. Other bedside tables and other things are more in line with his preferences.

Weixuan specially placed a big lazy sofa beside the large floor-to-ceiling balcony in the living room, which is big enough for himself and Du Hang to squeeze into it together. Some furniture was also reduced in the living room, and the two vegetable planters were placed on the wall. In addition, some commonly used storage materials that take up more space were simply placed next door by him, so that the living room finally seemed less crowded and messy than before.

It only took half a day to move the things, but it took Wei Xuan three days to sort out these scattered objects by category. After finishing all the work, he stood in the room contentedly and connected the energy converter to the electric heater. Film: “Now I can finally be clean for a few days…”
