Doomsday Food City [Infrastructure]

5

On a deserted road, a black off-road vehicle is speeding away.

There were five people sitting in the car, four men and one woman, each of them dusty, with dirty faces and blood stains on their clothes.

Jiang Kai licked his chapped lips and asked the woman in the passenger seat, "Chen Yue, how much food and water do we have?"

"If you save the water, you can drink it for two days, but there is not much food, only two mixed noodles steamed buns and two potatoes left." These things are not enough for even one meal for five adults.

"Alas, supplies are getting harder and harder to find, and it is estimated that we will have to go back empty-handed again this time." Lu Junyi, who was in the back seat, sighed.

After the end times, air, soil, water... All of them were contaminated with the virus, so much so that the grain was cut off. Aside from the plants spawned by the wood-based abilities, the major bases have yet to find other ways to cultivate food.

At first, I could still find some food left over from the last days, but now that a year has passed, no amount of food storage can withstand the empty sitting, so there is an extreme shortage of food now.

Although the Dong'an base to which they belong is not as good as the four major bases, because it was a major food province before the end of the world, the food reserves are quite abundant. When the base was first established, it was still able to receive two relief meals a day, but it only lasted for two months before it was changed to one meal a day, and then the amount was slowly reduced. Now that there are no relief meals, everyone, young and old, can only exchange their contribution points for food.

Contribution points are not easy to earn, killing a first-order zombie can only exchange for one contribution point, a second-order zombie is five points, and a steamed bun needs five contribution points.

The ability is okay, you can go and kill high-level zombies. But ordinary people can only deal with first- and second-order zombies. The elderly and children can't even deal with the first-order ones, so they can only work in the base in exchange for contribution points.

This is already calculated, and what is even more terrifying is that you can't exchange contribution points for food.

Their Thorn Squad was well-informed, and learned from the base's higher-ups that the base was running out of food. More and more people were sent out to find supplies, but there was very little good news.

The Thorn Squad also had to plan ahead, so they divided into several teams to look for supplies.

Jiang Kai's team went east.

"Do you want to go further? Further on is the former city of Binhai. Yu Hao, who was driving, asked, "It was bombed for three days and three nights, and the fire burned for another half a month, and there was not even a single grass left, and it was in vain to go."

Jiang Kai thought for a moment and said, "Look for it in the towns and villages on the edge of the coast. At that time, when the bombing was ordered, the residents of the surrounding area were evacuated urgently, and there may be supplies that are too late to take away.

Even so, he didn't have much hope. Their Dong'an base is not far from Binhai City, only a day's journey, but wherever food can be found, it has been searched back and forth several times, and it is unlikely that they can find a leak.

Sure enough, they searched three villages in a row, but found nothing.

"Let's have a bite to eat, take a break, and go to the town ahead in the afternoon. If we don't get anything, we'll have to go back.

This is their last bit of food, and they can't go back until they don't go back.

A few people found a clean farm yard, took out pots and bowls, and found some firewood from the village. Sunset, the fire powerhouse, throws a fireball at it, and the wood burns.

Chen Yue put the pot on it, poured two bottles of water, and then chopped the potatoes and put them in to cook.

Potatoes are spawned by the plant adepts of the base, and of all the food crops, potatoes and sweet potatoes are the easiest to grow and the most satisfying, so most of the products provided in the base are these two.

The mixed bread is not mixed with much flour, and it is made of sweet potatoes and pumpkin leaves, vines, mixed with a little flour.

How it tastes, whoever eats it knows!

If there is less flour, the steamed buns are easy to scatter, and the two that Chen Yue brought have already scattered into slag. She simply put it in the pot and boiled it with the potatoes.

The taste of these two mixed together is even weirder, but some of them are good to eat, and no one is picky. A few people buried their heads in eating, barely half-full.

"Fortunately, there are few zombies here, otherwise we have to fight, this thing can't hold up."

"There are no humans here, so zombies naturally won't come."

After eating, after resting for a while, they were about to leave, but Chen Yue suddenly noticed something and stopped the other four, "Hey, look.

The eyes of several people followed the direction of her finger, and there was an extra crow on the windowsill.

The crow is not unusual, it is strange that this crow is carrying a small bag cross-body.

It was probably just a short time after birth, and its feathers were not yet full. A gray-green miniature bag hangs around his neck, worn cross-body under one of his wings.

At this point, it lowered its head and pecked out a grain of rice from its bag and ate it slowly. That skillful appearance is enough to prove that this bag belongs to it, and not to be hung on it by accident.

"Hey, this bird is a sperm, right? Not only the backpack, but also the food from the bag, no one is so particular about it! Yu Hao exclaimed.

"It's no wonder, after the end of the world came, many animals also awakened their abilities and their IQs improved. Didn't the leader of the Thundering Squad also have an ability cheetah as a pet? I heard that it has an IQ similar to that of a five- or six-year-old child, and can fight with the squad. So it's not uncommon for a crow to carry a bag. Lu Junyi said.

"But this bag can prove that this little crow has an owner, otherwise who will sew the bag for it?"

"That's just as well."

Chen Yue reminded them, "The bag is not the point, didn't you find out what it eats?" Rice!

As soon as she said this, everyone noticed the grain of rice that the crow ate.

"! It's really rice, we can't eat rice, this crow actually has rice to eat! If it weren't for the fact that its bag was too small to hold much, Lao Tzu would have wanted to rob a crow! Yu Hao cast a look of envy.

"A crow eats better than us, and a man is not as good as a bird."

Jiang Kai thought thoughtfully, "Its owner is willing to give a crow such a good food, which means that he is not short of food, and I don't know if he can find someone to trade with him."

"People don't even lack food, what should we trade with him?"
