Extra chapter thanks to usageK. (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)
During this trip, among the water purifiers that Wei Xuan and Du Hang brought back were those with electricity and filters. The kind that uses electricity is said to purify pure water without any impurities (minerals will also be thoroughly purified). Drinking for a long time may not be good for the human body, and it will also produce wastewater. However, another type of purification device relies on various filter parts and they must be replaced after a period of use. So Wei Xuan decided to use them together.
That is to say, when he was processing water, he let the two kinds of equipment run together and then mixed the two kinds of treated water into the same container…
He has time, spare time, and equipment to make such a fuss, but if other survivors found out, everyone would definitely want to kill him directly.
After he piled up all the newly acquired equipment, Wei Xuan finally heaved a long sigh of relief, moving his sore shoulders and sighing: “Finally, I can rest for a while.”
Most of the materials he needs to collect have finally been collected. Besides, although there are still some things that need to be brought back sporadically, he is not in a hurry for the time being. “We will have time to get them later when we have time and the weather is not particularly hot.” Now, the two of them have finally ushered in the post-apocalyptic days when they can settle down in relative stability and take a good rest to tidy up their home.
The earthquake has made many survivors face another test. Many people were slightly or seriously injured in the earthquake. Still, fortunately, because the magnitude of the earthquake was not large and there were no tall buildings in the survivor base, they calmed down after the initial panic.
Because these survivors originally escaped from the city, many of the base builders themselves were people from the military and political circles, and they may not be able to grasp the key point for a while on how to deal with the zombified world. However, having to deal with the post-disaster reconstruction, there were many experienced people among them.
They quickly made preparations for rain and epidemic prevention and carried out secondary repairs on the bases. Many large bases quickly used the large number of earth-type ability users found in the military to combine with some reinforced concrete, creating very strong buildings and walls.
The largest survivor base around T City was quickly repaired and reinforced. And the strict militarized management made it possible for the people living in it not to face the days of being exposed to the rain and the sun after encountering several crises in succession.

Therefore, after many high-level discussions at the base, they came up with a method that can achieve both—dividing the troops in the base into two parts, one part is responsible for reclaiming the surrounding farmland and quickly confirming the status of the crops in the field. If there are already crops in the farmland that can be harvested before the cold season, they must be cleaned up quickly and crops with short growth times and high yields should be planted. The other part of the force is mainly responsible for protecting the base and escorting the team to the farmland, trying to ensure the safety of the base and personnel.
At the same time, the base issued tasks to the survivors in the base. Except that the old, young, women, and children that could only stay in the base to participate in some daily construction and cleaning, the base began to encourage young adults to go out to collect supplies. The base only takes part of the collected materials, and the rest can be handled by the personnel who go out. People who are willing to go out to do tasks are eligible to live in the safer inner city after returning.
As soon as this regulation came out, many people who hurried out of the city and had no time to bring any supplies when they fled for their lives were moved.
The city is so big, they don’t need to enter the inner city to find anything and come back.
Some people even went out to look for food and supplies after arriving at the base because they had no supplies. They were relatively familiar with this job. City scavengers.
The military also stated that those who are willing to go out to do missions can exchange some urgently needed materials in the base for firearms and ammunition. Although only some firearms with less power and shorter range are allowed to be exchanged, they are still better than empty hands!
In this way, most of the people who already had some supplies in their hands simply went to exchange for a few weapons, with these things, they gathered teams to leave the base one after another and began to search for useful supplies around the city…
In the city, there are also some survivors who escaped the previous earthquake disaster. People who had already run out of water and food finally couldn’t help but began to go out one after another to see if they could find some food and water.
Due to the previous earthquake, many of the zombies entrenched in various living areas wandered out of the community where they first stayed, and most of them are wandering on the streets at this time. Coupled with the washing of the rain, many clever people found some strong-smelling things such as perfume, and sprayed it all over their heads and bodies, trying to avoid being discovered by zombies.
Unexpectedly, these methods can actually play a certain role as long as the zombies are not too close to them, the strange aroma covered the human smell from the zombies!
Some people hurriedly searched for food and drinks in the surrounding shops, however, they arrived at those places only to find out in despair that as long as the supermarkets and shops in the city were slightly larger, the shelves in the shops were almost empty! They dare not enter the deeper places where zombies hang around! How could they survive like this?!
“Huh? Do you think the grass grows a bit strange?” Two survivors who found nothing were looking around anxiously for shops that might still have food. One of them suddenly pointed to the green belt in the middle of the road and walked toward it.
“What’s weird? Isn’t it all grass?” The man was a little impatient, “What time is it, do you still have time to look at the grass?”
The man hurriedly said: “No! I mean the grass is everywhere else It’s dead, how come there are so many growing here? And the leaves of that thing don’t look like the grass you usually see!”
The other person looked in the direction where the other pointed and suddenly realized that the appearance of those things was indeed different from the grass sown in ordinary green belts.
“…What if it can be eaten?”
“Please don’t be the kind of plant that can hit people!” “Do you remember? Isn’t there a willow tree in the next neighborhood that has become mutated? All the branches turned red, and as long as someone walks past they would get whipped by the branches!”
“It’s so small, even if it can eat people, it can only bite me once at most… I can’t bear it anymore, I have to eat my fill first!” The man gritted his teeth, bent over, and dug up the dirt under the leaves to see what it was.
Not long after, a surprised voice sounded: “Potatoes!! It’s small potatoes!!”
Who will grow potatoes in the green belt? Did this thing exist before the apocalypse started, or did it appear here by accident?
The two of them had no time to think about this question. They had to hurry up and dig out these potatoes before the zombies wandered back and bring them home! This is food, real food! Even if they are smaller in size and fewer in number, they are still good things to eat!!
“Sprouts are sprouting! Sprouts are sprouting!”
A burst of cheers resounded from the roof. Although the distance was a bit far, it still attracted the zombies below in this quiet community They all looked up.
The ‘bridges’ that appeared inexplicably were built between the roofs of several high-rise buildings. They didn’t seem very strong, but they were made at a height that these zombies couldn’t reach. Even if there are zombies with special abilities among them, and they have the ability to launch fireballs and wind blades, they will definitely not be able to hit the roofs of more than ten or twenty floors.
A few days ago, some pots and buckets were placed on the roofs of the high-rise buildings to store rainwater, but today, the few remaining residents in the buildings are actually on the roofs, which have not been built for a long time. Looking at something growing in the flower pot!
They didn’t grow many things or different types, but now, when there is no tomorrow, and there is no guaranteed next meal, this little bit of greenery can be a life-saving thing!
“Grandma Zhao, when will this thing grow?” A man wearing glasses looked expectantly at an aunt beside him.
Grandma Zhao could only shake her head: “Potatoes may grow in three to four months. I don’t know about small tomatoes, mung beans, and red beans.
“If we plant them on all of these roofs, we will not have to worry about food in the future!” Another person sighed.
“It’s not bad. There are only a few dozen people left and the collected materials should last till the vegetables grow. We will set aside the seeds that can be used for next year and we can count on them in the days to come.”
“Next year… I don’t know what will happen next year…”
Thinking of the future life, thinking of the countless excited zombies waving their arms on the street below, everyone became hopeful again.
“I don’t know if Xiao Liu and the others have left the city…” A person muttered in a low voice.
The rest of the people also fell into silence.
Thanks for the update
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️
Thanks for the chapter! They took his potatoes.
Pretty sure he still planted some more at different locations hhh but still kinda sad
Yeah, he pretty much planted them wherever there was open terrain, in case one place was damaged or he had to move & I think they only fond one location. Still, planting by hand is no fun. Well, he has food, so it’s not so bad. Would have been terrible if it was the only place. But our hardworking MC is going to be fine.
Oh no someone took some of his potatoes
Potatoes thieves ! Thank you for the big updates
Oh, it’s really book about farming
Thank you for your translation 💙🤍🤍💙
Thank you!❤🌺
MC: “My potatoes! “ QAQ
Not his potatoes 🥔🥔
