Zombies take me as air

Chapter 379
The villagers are also curious about the outside world, and they haven't left the Southern Continent for a long time.

So they asked Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei to stay for a few more days, hoping to hear them talk about the outside world.

Lu Xiangbei first asked if anyone who came here died of illness?

The villagers shook their heads after hearing this. Someone told him that there were basically no sick people who survived, and all those who were seriously ill died on the way to escape.

Those who survived were all strong and not very sick before the disaster.

After coming here, I ate well, slept soundly, and my health improved.

The climate here is like spring all year round, there is no big temperature difference between hot and cold, and they don't even catch cold.

Their vegetable fields are in the village, and their food is grown outside the village, rooted in this ancient continent.

Kong Qi wanted to ask some questions about crop diseases and insect pests, but the villagers seemed to be more interested in the outside world and kept asking.

Lu Xiangbei tried his best to answer their questions in a concise and general way. They were most concerned about the situation in their hometown.

Lu Xiangbei told the truth that some people's hometowns have been turned into a wasteland, and some people have been used as dens by wild animals.

But most cities just sleep quietly under the snow and ice.

No city remains what it was, no one keeps his hometown, his home.

Seeing that they were depressed, Lu Xiangbei added, "Someone has survived and restarted somewhere. Like you, as long as there are people alive, everything can be restarted."

After hearing Lu Xiangbei's words, the villagers rekindled hope in their hearts, and some people echoed: "Yes! Our ancestors came from the era of slash-and-burn farming. We will start again. Then our descendants will have the chance to return to the top. That day!"

Among the survivors in the Southern Continent, there were also Orientals, and they felt very kind to Lu Xiangbei and Kong Qi when they saw them.

There are also some people who really want to know how the two of them survived, and they have shown great interest in this.

When it came to the two of them, Lu Xiangbei was more succinct, and only said that they had been in various camps, and then settled in the camp where their relatives were.

This time they discovered the mutation of zombies and animals, and they came out to see if the situation was the same all over the world.

"Is it the same?" asked the villagers.

"Yes, animals all over the world have mutated, and have evolved into giant beasts as tall as buildings." Lu Xiangbei said.

"Like the one in the video you showed us?"

"Yes."

"Such monsters...it is impossible to defeat them with our current level of force."

"That's why I suggest you build an underground shelter."

In addition, what Lu Xiangbei didn't say was that there were no supernatural beings in this village, and they couldn't have the ability to fight mutant crocodiles like those survivors in the tropical jungle.

Not to mention the ability is not to hit them, the villagers have not awakened the ability, talking about it will only make them worry.

At this time, the villagers really paid attention to Lu Xiangbei's words. Now they believed that Lu Xiangbei was not joking, and he would not travel half the world to the Southern Continent to play a joke on them.

Now that it was important, they discussed how to build an underground shelter.

They want to use the equipment and materials of the scientific research station, but none of them are engaged in construction. The previous scientific research stations in various countries have been more or less damaged. It is too difficult to reassemble these damaged buildings and equipment.

Lu Xiangbei offered to help them take a look. Although he is not an architect, he has more or less experience in building houses.

These survivors in the Southern Continent didn't have the ability to protect themselves, and they didn't have a safe refuge. When the giant beasts attacked, they had no choice but to wait for death.

The guards in the village first took Lu Xiangbei to see the deserted scientific research stations. After the ice melted, these buildings were damaged to a certain extent due to natural reasons.

Some special equipment, these ordinary survivors will not use.

In fact, Lu Xiangbei didn't know how to do it either, but it was still possible to help them build a shelter or air-raid shelter underground.

The grains and vegetables grown in this land seem to be normal. Kong Qi visited the vegetable gardens and grain fields, and found no mutated vegetables and grains. At least they grow the same as normal crops.

The villagers have been eating these vegetables for a long time, and for the time being, they have not mutated, and they have not gotten sick or even died from eating these crops.

Kong Qi stopped thinking about wearing a gas mask. If she did so, the villagers would find it strange, and she didn't want to make a fuss.

She followed the village head's daughter to visit inside and outside the village. The village head's daughter is eighteen this year and her name is Lisa.

She is very talkative, telling Kong Qi everything about the village, and she told Kong Qi that the seeds they used were obtained from the scientific research station.

There are vegetables and fruits grown in greenhouses in the scientific research station, and there are a wide variety of vegetables.

The land here is all natural fertilizer, including poultry and livestock manure and plant ash.

Vegetables taste delicious when grown. Of course, this is what Lisa said. Lisa wanted to invite Kong Qi to her house as a guest and invite her to dinner, but Kong Qi declined.

Lisa is not reluctant, Lu Xiangbei wants to help build the shelter, Lisa asks Kong Qi what she wants to do?
The shelter was not built in a day, which meant that the two of them would live in the village for a while. Kong Qi replied that she was very curious about this continent and wanted to go around.

Lu Xiangbei and the young and middle-aged men in the village went to survey the terrain and pick out the equipment and building materials that can be used in the scientific research station.

Kong Qi was led by Lisa, and left the village to go outside. The villagers here also raised some poultry, and set aside a piece of land to raise chickens and sheep, which can be regarded as free-range.

Kong Qi deliberately went to see the places where poultry and livestock were raised. The animals did not mutate, they were normal, the same as before the disaster.

Kong Qi looked up at the sky, and there was nothing strange about the sky here. She is not a meteorologist, and she really couldn't see what caused the warm climate here to melt the ice.

It took only a few years for the ice to melt. There are no particularly tall trees here, only some small trees have just grown. The villagers will break off some branches from the small trees and go back to dry them for firewood.

Because the number of trees far exceeds the number of villagers, even if they cut down the trees and burn them, they will not be able to use them up.

They don't need to rely on these for heating, they only use them for cooking and boiling water. The temperature here is not bad at night, just cover them with a quilt, and they don't need to warm up by a fire.

The village was built on a plain, and there were no mountains nearby. Kong Qi and Lisa could not go too far, and walked back after walking for a few miles.

In the evening, Lu Xiangbei didn't eat with other people. He and Kong Qi ate alone. They stayed at a villager's house.

The villager was an elderly woman. After the disaster, her daughter and son-in-law protected her all the way to escape. The three of them traveled through mountains and ridges, and finally came here.

In the area where the ice did not melt, they encountered several wild beasts. During the fight, her daughter and son-in-law were seriously injured. Fortunately, the two of them also dealt with the beasts. Village, but failed to survive due to severe wound infection and excessive blood loss.

The villagers felt sorry for the old man and helped her build a house with two bedrooms.

Although the old woman lived alone, she always missed her daughter and son-in-law. She put the belongings of the two in another bedroom, and decorated the bedroom as much as possible as the bedroom where the couple once lived.

Only her family has a vacant house in the village, so Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei can only arrange to live in her house.

The old lady was very quiet. After greeting the two of them, she went back to her room, as if she had no desire to talk.

Kong Qi didn't want to disturb the old man's rest, so she and Lu Xiangbei went back to their temporary room and ate the convenience food she took out from the space.

Because they lived in the village, it was inconvenient for them to go back to the New World to eat and sleep, so they simply ate some canned food made by Kong Qi.

After eating, the two started talking about what to do in the village. Lu Xiangbei wanted to help the villagers build an underground shelter before leaving, and Kong Qi wanted to visit the hinterland center of the Southern Continent.

The village is still a long way from there, and the two of them acted together to waste time.

They decided that Lu Xiangbei would stay and help the villagers build shelters. Kong Qi continued to move forward, heading deep into the hinterland of the Southern Continent.

After discussing, they went to bed early, and the next morning, when the villagers heard that Lu Xiangbei was staying and Kong Qi went to the hinterland of the mainland alone, they all persuaded:

"This can't be done. She is a woman after all. Going alone... I don't know how many dangers I will experience on the way. Although there are no mutant animals in this continent, there are also wild beasts. Sometimes wild beasts will come out in groups to look for food. They know that there are many animals in the village. Too many people are hard to mess with, so I dare not move around the village, but once people are left alone, they will find an opportunity to attack, and Kong Qi will definitely become the target of these beasts if she goes out alone!"

The villagers wanted to send a guard with a gun to accompany her, but this would leave the village without a laborer.

Kong Qi thanked them for their kindness, and said that she can do it by herself. She and Lu Xiangbei are in the world alone, and she is by no means the one who needs to be protected.

Although the villagers felt that what she said was reasonable, they still felt that it was not safe for her to go out alone.

But Lu Xiangbei didn't have this kind of worry at all, and he was very relieved that she went out alone, and the villagers couldn't say anything.

So Lu Xiangbei stayed to work, Kong Qi continued to move forward, and Lisa sent her out of the village, more than a dozen miles away, which was the edge of the village's safe zone, and wild animals would move any further.

Kong Qi waved goodbye to Lisa and told her to go back quickly, don't worry about herself, she walked forward alone.

When parting, Lisa lent her a talisman, saying it was a relic of Lisa's mother. There was such a custom in her mother's hometown, and it seemed to be a very ancient tribal custom.

Wear an amulet when you go out, otherwise bad luck will come to you...

Since it was mother's relic and they had just met, naturally the amulet couldn't be given to her, but was just lent to her to wear.

In short, this amulet is the claw of some kind of animal, and Kong Qi can't tell what kind of animal's claw it is. It has been polished, and the tip of the claw is not sharp. There are still small symbols engraved on the claw, like ancient runes.

She put the amulet in the pocket of her jacket and walked ten miles away. After making sure that no one was around, she took out the bicycle from the space and rode forward.

There are indeed many animals in the wild, and if you ride an electric car or drive, you will inevitably alarm them.

She was riding a bicycle with a second donkey on the back seat of the bicycle. The second donkey's deterrent effect on mutated animals has become smaller, but its deterrent effect on ordinary animals here is still strong, and it dare not get close to it in the wild beasts.Kong Qi went all the way to the hinterland of the mainland unimpeded. The speed of riding a bicycle must be much slower than driving, but she and Tian Niu switched shifts, letting Tian Niu drive during the day and she drive at night, so the speed of the two people's cooperation will naturally increase.

There is no surveillance here, and no one knows that the two of them are on their way after changing shifts.

The more you go deeper into the hinterland of the southern continent, the higher the temperature. Kong Qi gradually felt that the abnormal climate here might not have anything to do with the weather above her head. The source came from the underground or the center of the southern continent.

what's there?
She was a little excited, because the villagers said that they had never been to such a far place. Most of them were ordinary people, and they were very afraid of wild beasts, and the wild animals were the least at the edge of the hinterland, so they chose to build the village on the edge.

The deeper you go, the more wild beasts there are. The bullets in their hands are not enough, especially if you rely on cold weapons. When the number of wild beasts is large, hundreds of them will act together, and they are not enough. They share the food.

Kong Qi went deep and found that not only the animals had increased, but the plants had also become lush.

The plants grow tall and the leaves are big, kind of like the Jurassic era.

Kong Qi couldn't help but wonder, would there be dinosaur eggs hidden deep underground hatching here?
As in the movie, dinosaurs reappeared on Earth.

While rushing along the road, she imagined wildly, and collected some plant seeds at random, and wanted to take them back to the library to find out what these plants were?
She collected as many specimens as possible, and took off and added everything that could fit in the pages of the book.

If the tree is really too big, there is no other way but to take photos and videos, leaving detailed and clear video records.

She felt like a modern traveler roaming in the prehistoric era, recording as she went, but fortunately, no dinosaurs rushed out to attack her along the way, and there were no prehistoric creatures.

Her thoughts were changed when she walked into the center of the hinterland, because there were many strange animals in the center of the hinterland.

They did not leave this area, as if they were bounded within this range, Kong Qi became more and more determined, there must be something unusual in the center of the hinterland.

The two donkeys were not very deterrent to the animals in this area, so Kong Qi put away the bicycle and used the space to move on.

The plants here are even more strange and taller. She saw mushrooms that were about as tall as hers, and fruits that were three times the size of her head. Although it doesn’t rain here, there will be fog rising and covering the entire center. area, moisten the plants.

If she hadn't wanted to walk across the continent herself to collect samples and seeds, she would have flown directly to the central area in a soil bird.

Anyway, Lu Xiangbei couldn't use his supernatural powers, so he relied on artificial construction of the underground shelter, which was not completed so quickly.

She was not in a hurry to go back, she followed the tour and finally came to the center of the hinterland.
