Chapter 394: Raising a Child in the End of the World and Killing Zombies 8
Therefore, Li Chengcai and the old village chief were not afraid that the villagers would starve because of lack of food.
I just don’t know how long this zombie apocalypse will last.
I am afraid that by the spring of next year, when the snow has melted, this problem will not be solved.
That's a bit troublesome.
If there is too much frozen meat hidden in the snow, they won’t be able to store it.
After talking with the village chief, Sirong left for her grandmother's home.
Muchen did not come with them. He, Si's father and Mu's father went to the air-raid shelter that grandma mentioned.
To be honest, it’s quite far from the village.
Halfway up the mountain behind, there is an air-raid shelter, but it is actually called a cat's eye hole.
Before liberation, this was a natural cave.
When the little guys come to sweep, the villagers will come here to take shelter.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the army converted this place into a defensive fortification.
If the enemy attacks, it not only has good concealment, but can also fire into the sky and strafing the enemy from below.
The cave is very big and it is safe for the whole village to live in it.
Grandpa Sirong simply built an earthen stove at the entrance of the cave so that he could boil some hot water to drink when it rained while herding sheep, and he could also make a fire.
Going further inside, there is a very heavy iron door that locks the space inside.
Siba and the others all knew about this cave. When they were young, they often came here to play when they went up the mountain.
There should be some war supplies behind the big iron gate.
But there may not be any weapons. In the early years, you could still see soldiers coming to inspect.
Later, I couldn't see him anymore.
I don’t know if this place has been abandoned or for some other reason.
In short, the lock on the big iron gate has rusted.
None of the villagers were so impatient as to want to open the lock and go in to take a look, so the situation has remained the same.
Sirong and Muchen no longer have the help of the space, but they still have Xiao 5.
She can still do simple X-ray detection.
Xiao 5 told Muchen:
"The main passage is about 80 meters long, with 12 rooms of varying sizes on both sides. The deepest storage room has a reinforced explosion-proof design."
"There are rusted metal shelves lying empty, several wooden boxes, some filled with moisture-proof plaster, a diesel generator in the corner that's been scrapped (the host wants to repair it, and it might be able to), and a ventilation system that's structurally sound but has a damaged filter."
Mu Chen's eyes lit up: "This place is more reliable than I thought!"
The village where my grandma lives has very convenient transportation because of the highway.
During the mask period, they only set up checkpoints on both sides of the road.
There is no way to completely seal off the entire village.
But at that time, everyone was still a rational and civilized society, and measures could be taken to resolve any situation.
But if a zombie outbreak occurs, how are you going to reason with them?
In other words, when that time really comes, everyone must be united and have coercive means to protect themselves.
This place is ideal.
If the situation becomes serious, the villagers can be organized to live here.
Even though there are only 12 rooms, it is very big.
It’s not a problem to save seven or eight hundred people.
Moreover, Muchen saw that there was a road here and vehicles could drive up.
It’s just that no one has maintained it for many years, and it is surrounded by vegetation. If you don’t look carefully, no one will notice it.
After they went down the mountain, Sirong and the others also came back.
Muchen explained the situation on the mountain. He thought that if they wanted to stockpile goods, it would be best to put them there.
We will see the situation in the village at that time. If it can be controlled, everyone will live in the village.
There is really no way to control it, and that is also a retreat for everyone.
Time waits for no one, Sirong and Muchen have to settle the real estate and other matters first.
Muchen's parents stayed at grandma's house. The two brothers had already gone to grandpa's tool room to pick out some things. They were going to go to the peephole later and pry open the door lock first.
See what the situation is inside and clean up what can be cleaned up first.
They are also quite optimistic about the place, although the overall building is a bit old.
But they are made of good materials, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and safer than the courtyards in the village.
This was the temporary decision, and Sirong and her friend drove to the city.
Yesterday, Manager Zhang from the real estate agency called Muchen to inform him that a buyer had already paid the deposit.
Just waiting for Muchen to come and handle the transfer procedures.
After arriving in the city, Muchen left Sirong at the nail salon and turned to go to the real estate transaction center.
I had already agreed with Manager Zhang that he needed the money urgently and would not accept a loan to buy a house because it would take too much time.
The buyers were also quite happy. They were a young couple and were quite satisfied with the decoration of Sirong's house.
There is no need to modify anything yourself, just pay the deposit directly.
It was already afternoon when Sirong and Muchen finished dealing with the matters concerning the nail salon and the house.
The two went to a car rental company and rented a large truck.
Sirong drove the family car and Muchen drove the truck directly to the local wholesale market to purchase goods.
First, there are baby products, including milk powder, diapers, baby food, small clothes, and swaddles.
Just buy enough for your child to use until he or she is 5 years old.
After thinking about it, the two of them were still worried.
The goods were purchased according to the amount needed by three children.
No one can tell whether there are other families in the village who have children.
Even if you prepare in advance, no family can prepare enough for a five-year-old child.
Especially for milk powder and the like, everyone wants to buy the ones with a newer production date, so no one would buy too much.
If an adult is hungry, they can tolerate it, but this is a child.
Let’s not talk about killing the saints first in troubled times. It’s better to stock up on things that are foreseeable.
Especially milk powder, Muchen almost took up half of the warehouse.
"It's okay. If the kids can't finish it, we adults can drink it too. I feel at ease if I buy more."
Sirong didn't object and let him buy it.
Next is the seasoning area, where I bought some common seasonings that I might need.
There are also various dried vegetables, mushrooms, fungus, and day lily.
The only advantage of stockpiling goods is that they can order food such as rice directly from the village.
I am not afraid of people coming to snatch it away. At least I don’t have to worry about the dock being closed for a year.
The villagers should have enough food. When the time comes, Muchen can load the food, drive around outside the village, and say that he is selling it outside. No one will care.
The things I ordered at the outdoor goods store have arrived. Once they are loaded, the truck will probably be full.
When they were almost near the village, Sirong drove back to her grandmother's house. Muchen turned off the lights of the truck and slowly drove towards the cat's eye cave from the road behind the mountain.
His night vision function is okay, although not as strong as Da Qichao, and he won't drive into the ditch.
And there is Xiao 5 to remind him. If he really reaches an invisible section of the road, Xiao 5 will show him a traffic map in front of him.
It's similar to a visual reversing radar.
