Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1744: Ten days of blizzard, tree bark can also be eaten!

The snow keeps falling.

Due to the continuous blizzard, there are basically no zombies to be seen.

Perhaps it is covered and buried by the snow, or perhaps it is hiding in some buildings.

As the snow on the ground collapsed, it also solidified and hardened.

Buffer outside the city.

Due to the use of gasoline combustion, the snow collapsed even more. After two days of heavy snow, the height of the snow increased to two and a half meters.

There was wind and snow, and the temperature outside continued to drop, reaching minus 30 degrees Celsius.

Because they didn't know how long the blizzard would last, and the buffer city was only 8.5 meters high, they didn't know if they could defend the buffer city.

Therefore, the construction of greenhouses in the buffer city has been temporarily put on hold for a while.

They would not dare to start building greenhouses until at least the blizzard stopped.

Buffer city.

Luo Gui and Fengzi brought the militia brigade to replace them, and now they basically work in three shifts.

Every time on duty, there will be two militia brigades, totaling 400 people.

Plus 2000 trade fair volunteers to help out.

Ensure that there are always 2400 people guarding the buffer city wall.

The blizzard has been falling for ten days in a row, and nothing has happened so far.

The ultraviolet lamps are still on, but due to the low temperatures caused by the blizzard, several of them were frozen out, which meant that maintenance personnel had to come up and repair them frequently during this period.

Later, in order to prevent it from being frozen again, they installed protective covers and glass on the ultraviolet lamps.

Doing so will reduce the range of the ultraviolet lamp to a certain extent, but at least when the temperature drops later, you don't have to worry about the lamp being frozen and exploded all the time.

In addition, the number of ultraviolet lamps arranged on the buffer city is saturated, and the irradiation range of the ultraviolet lamps overlaps with each other. Even if the irradiation range is reduced at this time, it still achieves 100% coverage under the wall.

Buffer city wall.

Inside the watchtower.

Zhang Rufeng was sitting on a chair. On the table was a small alcohol stove with a mini pot on it.

There was also a plastic bag on the table containing frozen tofu, two tortillas and a bag of braised meat.

Zhang Rufeng picked up the dagger, wiped it on his clothes, cut the frozen tofu into pieces, and put it into boiling water.

These frozen tofu become easier to cut after thawing in a warm room.

Tofu is a luxury in the apocalypse.

But it is not difficult for the large camphor tree base.

The food produced in the Dazhangshu headquarters base is not only staple food, but also some beans, such as soybeans, mung beans, peas, etc., which are important sources of plant protein.

In addition, there are vegetables, fruits and the like.

Now that conditions are better, we naturally pursue a balanced diet.

If you only rely on staple foods and do not consume protein and vitamins for a long time, your body will have problems, such as decreased immunity and muscle atrophy.

To ensure the combat effectiveness of the combat team, there should be no ambiguity in diet.

Tofu is easy to make. The main ingredient is soybeans. After being dried, soybeans can be preserved for a long time, at least two years.

Therefore, it became one of the important food supplies transported from the headquarters base to the oil city.

This tofu is mainly consumed within the oil city, and one of the dishes in the restaurant is tofu.

In addition, a small amount of tofu is sold in limited quantities at trade fairs.

However, things like tofu are basically snapped up within seconds of being put on the shelves in the trading market.

It is difficult for ordinary people to buy it.

Zhang Rufeng was an acquaintance of Lao Niu from the food supply and marketing department of the trading market. He bought a piece of frozen tofu at the market price, which was not considered a violation of regulations, after all, he also spent points to buy it.

The tofu is cooked by rolling in boiling water.

Zhang Rufeng picked up a piece of tofu with chopsticks.

The chopsticks in my hand can almost penetrate the soft texture.

The tofu melts in your mouth, first salty and then sweet, with the aroma and heat of the bean filling your mouth. With every bite, you can feel the warmth and delicacy of the tofu, as if you were swallowing a cloud, soft and with a hint of bean sweetness.

Zhang Rufeng ate with great satisfaction and took a sip of tea.

The chopsticks tapped on the small pot.

He hummed softly: "After eating braised pork and tofu, the city lord is not as good as me~"

He smiled and said to A Diao who was sitting opposite him:
"A Diao, do you know who I learned this from?"

Ah Diao pouted and looked at the frozen tofu in the pot greedily.

"I don't know, but I know that a captain who only knows how to eat alone is not a good captain."

Zhang Rufeng pointed at him with his chopsticks, "Fuck you!"

"When I asked you yesterday if you wanted to eat it, you said no. Now that I bought it, you say you want to eat it again."

"Just tell me you want to eat earlier, I can just buy some more."

He glared at him and cursed:

"I don't have any chopsticks to share with you, so figure it out yourself!"

Unexpectedly.

A Diao quickly took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms and wiped them.

He smiled and took the largest piece of tofu from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth without caring about the burn.

He grimaced because of the burn, swallowed it in one gulp and asked:

"Brother-in-law, who did you learn this from?"

Zhang Rufeng stared at the scene in amazement, with an extremely complicated expression. He didn't know what to say to Ah Diao, who even picked the biggest piece to eat.

"Fuck, A Diao, you are really amazing!"

Zhang Rufeng quickly picked up another piece of tofu with chopsticks, tasted it and ate it before saying leisurely:

"I watched a TV series before, in which there was a character called Wang Ganju, and he ate tofu just like this, in a very cold day, eating boiled tofu. Wow, I was envious when I saw it."

"But, when I bought it and ate it before, I didn't feel anything at all. But now in this apocalypse, I can actually taste that flavor."

"Hmm." Ah Diao didn't reply, but picked up the tofu with chopsticks one by one and ate it.

The wind and the remaining clouds.

Zhang Rufeng lowered his head and was about to speak when he saw that there were only three pieces of tofu left in the pot.

He simply pulled A Diao's chopsticks away with one chopstick.

"Fuck you! Everything is mine, you starving ghost!"

Ah Diao looked embarrassed and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

Zhang Rufeng rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

A Diao, Gui Tou and the others have followed me all the way from Sanshan Village. They have lived and died together, done many things together, and have come to where they are today step by step.

Without A Diao and Gui Tou, Zhang Rufeng would not have his current status.

Although he is the captain now, A Diao is still the same as before.

One of the reasons is that A Diao is You Amu’s cousin.

Youamu was Zhang Rufeng's wife in Sanshan Village. Although Youamu is dead, he, Zhang Rufeng, is still A Diao's cousin-in-law.

It is for this reason that A Diao dared to be so bold as to snatch food from the leader's pot.

Zhang Rufeng ate slowly, one piece of tofu, two pieces of meat, and three bites of corn tortilla, taking a sip of tea from time to time, looking at the snow falling outside the window and the warm room.

It made him feel comfortable.

Just as I was squinting my eyes and savoring the last piece of tofu.

hula-

The door was pushed open and a person came in.

Zhang Rufeng suddenly opened his eyes and was shocked when he saw the person coming in.

He quickly swallowed the tofu, stood up and said:

"Brother Gui, are you taking my shift?"

Luo Gui saw the situation in the sentry tower and said with a smile:
"Captain Zhang is very leisurely and elegant, he has even prepared a small hot pot."

Zhang Rufeng rubbed his hands and replied awkwardly:

"It's cold, eat something to warm yourself up during lunch time. I'm not drinking wine, if you don't believe me, take a sip." Luo Gui shook his head and said:
"Look at what you said. I didn't say anything to you. Why are you so nervous?"

"How about I wait here for you to finish eating and then take over?"

"No, no, I've finished eating." Zhang Rufeng waved towards A Diao.

A Diao was also quite smart. He quickly turned off the fire, then packed up the things and stuffed them into the bag.

Although Luo Gui and Zhang Rufeng are both captains of the Civil Armed Forces Department, Luo Gui has much more experience than him and his status is relatively higher.

Luo Gui saw that they had all packed up and didn't say much.

He opened the logbook at the door, checked the records on it, and after finding that there was no problem, he handed it to Zhang Rufeng and asked him to sign.

He had checked the wall just before entering the watchtower and found that there were basically no problems.

The duty handover must be signed so that responsibilities can be clearly identified if any problems arise.

Zhang Rufeng picked up the pen and signed his name.

He put on his hat, shouldered his gun, and said to Luo Gui:

"Brother Gui, I'm leaving first."

"Okay, go back slowly. There is a pothole on the main road of the buffer city. Be careful when you go back. But there is a warning sign there. I guess the workers will go there to fix it soon." Luo Gui looked at Zhang Rufeng and reminded him.

"okay."

Zhang Rufeng pushed open the door of the watchtower and a cold wind blew in.

The biting cold wind slapped his face mercilessly.

Every breath he exhaled was white mist visible to the naked eye.

The cold air instantly cleared his mind.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted his men to retreat in formation.

The guards on the wall were changing shifts. Like greedy snakes, they began to line up from both sides. The team went from one person to two people.
The team gradually expanded and formed a long dragon.

They lined up and went down the buffer city wall.

Instead, they were replaced by Luo Gui and the madman and his people.

Buffer the eastern part outside the city.

A major traffic artery five kilometers away.

There is a sentry tower on the main traffic route.

After ten consecutive days of heavy snow, the bottom floor of the watchtower has been covered with snow, about three and a half meters high.

The ground floor windows were shut.

Biaozi opened the chain on the watchtower door, and then used a small awl to dig out the ice and snow.

The accumulated snow has weight, and the deeper it is the more solid it is, until the bottom layer is almost as hard as ice.

The door was blocked by snow again.

It was blocked very tightly, without any gaps.

Fortunately, this door opens inwards.
If they try to open it outwards, they will never be able to get out.

After hammering with the awl for a while, Biaozi pushed the dug snow behind him.

"Brother Biao, let me do it." said Yan Sheng, who was helping to move the snow aside.

"Okay. Move slowly. The snow above is loose now. Don't move too much." Biaozi reminded.

"okay."

After three hours of relay digging, they finally succeeded in digging a passage through the snow outside the watchtower door that could be climbed up.

The entire passage is triangular in shape, becoming narrower as it goes up, but at least there is enough space for one person to walk out.

Biaozi stepped on the snow and climbed up tentatively. He had pressed the snow beneath him with his body.

But the snow outside is so thick that it is easy to sink into it if you step on it, and you may even get buried in the snow.

So he didn't rush out, but turned around and said to the person behind him:

"Okay, go call Shunfeng and Brother Chang and tell them that it's connected."

Yan Sheng nodded and hurried upstairs.

Since the stairs in the watchtower are made of hollow steel frames, they make a clanging sound when people walk on them, causing a lot of noise.

Yan Sheng hurriedly ran up to the third-floor watchtower.

In the third-floor sentry tower, there was a stove burning, and a ventilation pipe was connected to the window to blow away the burning ash.

The ground in the southeast corner was covered with various tree barks and condensed berries, grass leaves, earth barks, and fern roots.

It has piled up into a small hill.

Two men were holding millstones, smashing the bark and leaves, grinding them into powder, and then pouring them into a bucket next to them.

This is their staple food.

They were unable to enter the trading bazaar that day, but Dongfeng’s kindness gave them a bright spot.

In the first two days after they arrived here, they tried their best to search for plants around them. It had just snowed at that time.

They are a group of people with rich survival experience and have experienced a lot in the end times.

Knowing what to eat and what not to eat is not because they were once survival experts.

Rather, it is the experience summarized from the lessons of death.

Some people ate the wrong things and got stomach upsets, and some even died from diarrhea.

People who come after you will know which tree barks cannot be eaten and which tree barks are fine to eat, at most causing constipation.

Bark, lichens, roots, and if you're lucky you can even find rhizomes containing starch.

and many more.

They collected a lot.

Eating these things may cause you to die from bloating, but that is a matter of probability.

If you don't eat, you will definitely die.

They mixed the proportions and put only one piece of corn tortilla in the porridge every day, ground it into powder, and mixed it with the root and bark powder.

This is the fairest thing to do.

Everyone has no objection.

Everyone eats the same food, even their captain, Chang Yichang, is no exception.

Also.

Since no abnormalities were found during these days,
So there is no need to report to the people at the trading market.

It was freezing cold, with snow falling from the sky, and especially in the last few days, there wasn't even a single zombie to be seen.

They only ate 15 of the 35 tortillas Dongfeng gave them, leaving .

Even of the deer leg they were lucky enough to get on the way here, they only ate a quarter of it and hung the rest on the ceiling where everyone could see.

They were suspended in the air by a hook and looked at the meat every time they ate the bark powder.

Looking at the plum can quench your thirst.

After Yan Sheng ran upstairs, he quickly shouted to Chang Yichang, "Brother, Brother Biao said the call is connected."

Chang Yichang was making skis at this time. They cut and polished the wood that they had moved in earlier.

Made into skis and sleds.

These days, firewood has been burning in the watchtower 24 hours a day, consuming a lot of it.

Although it still exists now, it seems that Blizzard has never stopped.

So they wanted to get some firewood around and see if they could find any food.

However, the snow outside was too thick, and they definitely couldn't go out on foot, so they could only make their own skis and sleds.

Chang Yichang fixed the skis, "Okay, the skis are ready now."

He looked at the two men next to him: "Shunfeng, Dongbao, let's go."

The three of them walked downstairs.

After reaching the ground floor, Chang Yichang went out through the door and stepped on the compacted snow, which was quite thick.

Turning his head, he said to Dongbao:

"Dongbao, you watch over here. I'm going to go out with them."
