The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

Chapter 196 - 200

196

No matter how big and fat the sparrows on the road were, Luo Xun and team had no time to get out of the car and fight these strange animals. Their fridges and freezers were filled with a variety of frozen, dried and pickled meat. Enough to enjoy themselves for a month, so for the time being they did not have to worry about the roadside food.

They went straight to their destination, back and forth from home and both sides of the road. Occasionally also digging up useful trees and plants to transport home. It was a full 10 days of hard work.

During the time, they ran out five times, each time mostly collecting metal. The car space was also filled with a variety of dried wood. At last, a sufficient amount of metal was barely collected to renovate the new base.

The main building, garage, barn and farm were all completely covered with metal shelves after repeated refinements.

The four walls and ceilings of the basement floors were all covered with refined metal in case something tried to drill from the soil. Yan Fei increased the robustness and thickness of the tunnel walls again.

When this was done, their metal reserves had been reduced by one-third. Luo Xun had spent the past two days drawing designs, ready to change the entire building to resemble the base in the southwest with the geothermal flooring and plumbing.

Not only there, the underground planting spaces should also have temperature regulation equipment added. The original things were advanced but too complicated, once there was a problem, there would be no way to repair it. It would be better for them to change to something they would monitor and repair when needed.

Finally there was the outside open space. Luo Xun would wait until the plumbing was finished before thoroughly covering the space with metal and creating a greenhouse for fruit and flowers.

They were ready to extend the metal shed to the edge of the mutant plants after four weeks. They had previously experimented with throwing metal things next to the plants, some pieces were damaged. But once the metal stopped moving, it did not attract the plant's attention. After confirming that the things did not move on their own and were not edible, they ignored them.

This was good news for Luo Xun, they could safely use metal planks to create walls and it should be safe so long as they were thick enough to hide their presence.

These days Luo Xun and Yu Xinran scouted around the land. They did not explore the entire scope but still sifted out a dizzying number of nuclei. Who knew how many dead zombies and animals were buried after the apocalypse started?

There was enough nuclei for them to spend for a long time. For the time being, they had not continued to search deeper and gave the little girl a vacation. She and Puppy played around in the building.

Now, Luo Xun and the others rubbed their hands together for their next task – it was time to harvest all the matured rice and wheat from the southwest base.

"This is a harvester, this is a dryer and this is for tying things like straw." Luo Xun patted the two devices on the ground. "In a moment we can temporarily modify the shelf to deal with it directly."

"It's a lot easier than when we harvested last autumn!"

"There's a machine on top so that the dry food can be directly transported and the flour can be ground with the machine."

What was one of the best things about this new base? No doubt it was that there was a complete set of agricultural equipment.

Maybe the school was rich? Had special funding? Anyway, regardless of size or how many students had been there, the place was jaw-droppingly well-equipped. All available and in good condition. Although some things were inefficient but it was just right for Luo Xun's group!
