No one is planting the original crops anymore, and many food sources have disappeared, so they are constantly depleting their reserves.
However, as the zombies die, more humans will naturally survive.
With so many people, even if they immediately went to farm, they couldn't grow enough food to eat right away.
A food crisis has already begun to emerge.
Yu An, along with the children, began to study farming.
"Seven, can you speed up plant growth?"
Seven Shakespeare shook his head: "I can control it, but I can't let a large area of plants grow at the same time."
The children's abilities are all aggressive; they don't have this vegetable-growing ability.
Yu An cleared a plot of land, and he squatted at the edge of the field, his brows furrowed.
"Crops must be grown. Without crops, everyone will have a problem eating."
"Brother, I know where there is a granary."
The bald little fox, who was also squatting at the edge of the field, said directly in order to avoid farming: "Several abandoned cities have stored up a lot of grain."
"Just have Xie Chiyuan send troops to move it; move as much as you want."
They don't need to grow it themselves at all.
The timely confession of Si Zai is great news for the West District.
Unfortunately, even after Si Zai finished explaining, Yu An still didn't come out of the ground.
He still insisted on working the land with his children.
"Even after Xie Chiyuan retires, we still need to be self-sufficient."
Yu An said seriously, "There's no harm in learning more life skills."
The little fox looked dejected: "But big brother, I don't want to work."
The little fox who didn't want to farm was eventually granted the right to sleep in the fields.
Yu An touched the ground with his hand, closed his eyes, and tried to activate his supernatural abilities to see if he could make the seeds in the ground sprout.
His special ability is not as fixed and singular as the children's.
He gave the kids all sorts of superpowers.
He wondered if he could "possess" another superpower that would make plants grow rapidly.
If he possessed this ability, he could be a great help in the post-disaster reconstruction after the zombie apocalypse.
Yu An began to study the field.
With a water bottle hanging around its neck, Chiu Chiu was working very hard for its older brother.
When weeding in the field, Chiu Chiu didn't use herbicides; instead, she pulled the weeds herself.
He kept pulling and pulling until he reached his older brother.
just.
The older brother had his eyes closed; I don't know what he was doing.
And in front of the eldest brother, a few lush green "grass" sprouted up.
Chiu Chiu looked at her older brother with his eyes closed, and then at the "grass" in front of him.
The next second, even the "grass" was exposed.
Chiu Chiu did good deeds anonymously, then turned around and went back to work.
A truly good son is one who helps his older brother with his work without seeking credit!
After pulling the weeds, Qiuqiu turned and left. Yu An, with his eyes closed, had a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
Not only his forehead, but also the tip of his nose was sweaty.
A few minutes later.
Yu An's face paled slightly as she looked at the land in front of her.
It was completely bare, as bare as a little fox's fur.
Yu An: "..."
Yu An frowned: "Why hasn't even a sprout appeared?"
He felt as if the energy within him was gradually obeying his commands.
Although he wasn't very skilled, he vaguely felt that he had grasped some of the tricks of the trade.
At the very least, he felt that the seeds in the ground should be able to sprout.
Yu An was busy working in the field. If Xie Chiyuan hadn't been busy too, the couple probably would have been at odds.
I don't know how long I've been busy.
The zombie crisis in the western district has been completely resolved, and the previously overrun cities are being cleared out one by one by the military.
The zombie corpses are collected and destroyed, and after the army clears them out, the people from the base are put back in.
The zombie crisis in the East District can hardly be called a crisis anymore. They are gradually restoring order to their former lives.
While the North and South districts weren't as fast as them, the West district's support ensured the safety of ordinary citizens.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Pei Si would send messages from time to time, and with him in charge in the North District, nothing much went wrong.
The last day of October.
All four districts have a sufficient supply of vaccines, and the zombies have been completely eliminated.
Lu Chao withdrew ahead of time. The South District was more obedient than the North District, so the trouble was dealt with more quickly.
Not long after Lu Chao returned, Pei Si also called to inform him.
"No traces of zombies have been found within the northern border, and population movement has resumed in several cities in the northern region."
"I request to withdraw from the North District."
"Okay, come back."
Xie Chiyuan approved his application and told him to come back tomorrow.
The next day.
Pei Si packed her things and prepared to return.
However, he was detained just before he was to depart.
The zombies in the district had just been cleared away when the ruler of the North District pointed out—
The West District is harboring the Zombie King.
Everyone's goal now is to eliminate zombies from the world, but the West District is hiding a zombie king.
The North District asked, "What is the West District's intention in leaving the Zombie King behind? Is it to use the Zombie King as leverage, so that if there are any conflicts with other districts in the future, they can release the Zombie King?"
Given the extent of the zombie king's bites and infections, who knows if their current vaccines will be effective against it?
Yu An was stunned when he heard that the North District had turned against him.
"Is the North District boss brainless? We just sent people to help him, and he's already ungrateful."
The North District's demand is that the West District kill the Zombie King.
Without even thinking, Yu An refused: "Xie Chiyuan, the North District is courting death like this, how are we supposed to kill him now?"
They couldn't possibly kill the zombie king; they could only kill this reckless leader.
Xie Chiyuan's gaze was deep and somber, clearly indicating that his tolerance for the Northern District had reached its limit.
"Pei Si is still in the hands of the North District."
Xie Chiyuan tapped his long, handsome fingers lightly on the table and said slowly, "We need to get Pei Si out first."
The North District's stated purpose this time is for the safety of all humanity, so that the West District can kill the Zombie King.
If the West District directly launches an attack, it will not be in the right.
In particular, the North District said that they invited Pei Si to stay, and that Pei Si could leave whenever she wanted after the West District killed the zombie king.
"Xie Chiyuan, the Zombie King..."
"Don't worry, they'll be fine."
Sun Mo had known them the longest. They knew Sun Mo's personality very well.
Even without any vaccines, just as there will be no food supply in the future, Sun Mo will not harm any human beings.
Xiao Lu, the simple-minded zombie king, is now safer.
His only interest is treating people's illnesses. Xie Chiyuan recently gave him a lot of books, telling him to read them and then take the exam.
Xie Chiyuan said that nowadays, you have to pass a certification exam to become a doctor.
Xiao Lu spends every day immersed in books, actively researching and verifying his knowledge.
These two zombies, even if they are the zombie king, are more harmless than some people.
"An'an, I'll handle it. We need to keep this from Sun Mo."
Xiao Lu is doing well, engrossed in taking exams.
Sun Mo is sensitive; if he knew that the outside world wanted him dead...
It's very likely that he will actually die.
Yu An understood Sun Mo's personality, so he nodded, his expression somewhat solemn.
The West District and the North District have begun official negotiations.
The North District appealed this directly to the deceased coalition, and in the appeal, the South District also agreed with the West District's claim that there was a huge hidden danger.
The East District has not commented.
But Yu An and Zhai Man added each other on WeChat, and they chatted occasionally.
