After they returned, they found an opportunity to talk to Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo about their intention to clean up the zombies.
After the crisis of last year's shortage of food, everyone in the village was eager to plant more crops in the fields, hoping to harvest more food in a few months.
Now that they have been to Baiyin Lake twice, they know that the grain can be exchanged for some daily necessities, so everyone would rather work harder and give more grain in exchange for those things.
It is a good thing that Zhou Yan and the others have a lot of space, but this time they are able to do it in an orderly manner.
They have planted rice, beans, peanuts, corn and some essential vegetables in the outside field, but the inside field is much more convenient, as they can plant whatever they want to eat, regardless of the season. That's why, after planting a vegetable patch, you only have to walk around it, and you'll feel a sense of satisfaction as if you're sitting on a lot of food.
The fruits that were planted on the hillside when they came back last year are also starting to ripen one crop at a time, the family of four is now not lacking in fruits every day, originally eating more fruits is good for the body, not to mention the ones grown in the space, since the fruits are unbroken every day, obvious changes can be seen in Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo, not only the physical state feels much better, even the face is better than before, the wrinkles at the corners of Ye Yuanrong's eyes It was as if they were all a little lighter than before.
But all of this didn't attract much attention, after all, after the start of spring, everything was recovering, everyone looked better than when they were holed up at home during the snowy winter, it was just that they were more obvious.
After planting all the bankers in the ground, they took the time to go to Silver Lake again, except for bringing a letter to Lu Xinglian in the morning, they didn't bring anything for everyone this time as usual. But this time, everyone didn't say anything anymore, anyway, the things they brought back last time, their own families couldn't afford that much, so they would immediately exchange them for the village people at the dock with a clear price. This time, if there was more stuff, I'm sure it would be the same.
The purpose of them going to the Silver Lake base this time was to ask Lu Xinglian to see if they could get two guns/fires for them, knowing that although they were capable of dealing with zombies, it was still more of a deterrent in certain situations, such as encountering a less reasonable survivor.
There was another ultimate reason why they needed it, and that was that if they left the village to clean up the zombies, they would always have to leave a little defensive weapon for Lu Jianguo and Ye Yuanrong to feel at ease, after all, the end times weren't like before.
Originally, the two of them didn't hold much hope, knowing how serious the control was before the zombie outbreak, not to mention the ordinary people like them, even those military/people like Lu Xinglian and the others, wanting to equip themselves would also depend on the position, as well as the type of work capacity of the day.
But they didn't expect that Lu Xinglian would just hesitate for a bit and get them two of them the next day, and actually a lot of bullets were attached.
After telling Lu Xingdian that they didn't want to act with the army/team, Lu Xingdian also expressed his understanding, but anyway, it was all about cleaning up the zombies, no matter what form it took and where it was, as long as the purpose was the same, that was enough.
The two of them also learned from Lu Xinglian that the officers and soldiers on their side of the base had already started to clear the zombies from the nearby villages before slowly moving towards the town, after all, the town had a large population and a large number of zombies, so it wasn't that easy to be able to clear them all at once.
Although the planes and some weapons that can attack from the sky so far can't be used, but the department/team still has a lot of weapons with high killing power, Nay also have to consider that there may still be survivors in the town, even if they want to use weapons with high killing power, they also need a group of people first, to move the survivors.
Each of these things required quite a few people to do, so the number of officers and soldiers already in the base was simply not enough, so they began to gather volunteers from the people in the base.
They heard that many young men from the base had signed up, including Ji Yan.
After discussing with Lu Bachuan and the two, Zhou Yan spent a night putting together an introductory martial arts booklet, not the kind they practiced, which was also different from what Ye Yuanyong and Lu Jianguo practiced, but similar to what they taught Morningside, but not nearly as good, but this method of practice, although no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't do it to the extent of being able to fly through walls and hurt people with flying flowers, but if they seriously If you practice, your physical agility as well as your force level can definitely increase quite a bit, and aren't those the two things you need most if you're dealing with zombies?
After the booklet was sorted out, the two of them had another deep conversation with Lu Xinglian, saying that they could give this booklet to the base to be released to the public, but Lu Xinglian had to help them hide the source of this thing, so that no outsiders could know that this was provided by them.
At that time, he thought that if all survivors had that kind of strength, it would be much easier to deal with zombies, but this was not his stuff. Not having the face to ask someone to contribute something to everyone.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan actually brought it out himself, although he was told to help hide this, but this was just a small matter to him, with his current position in the base, it was not easy to not want others to know the provider of the booklet, of course, he was full of promise.
After Zhou Yan and the others returned, they took another copy of the same to Lu Jianye and asked him to teach it to the village people, but this time they didn't hide it anymore, everyone already knew that their good skills came from Zhou Yan's ancestral martial arts, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to, but they still instructed that if they ever saw anyone outside again, they couldn't tell anyone outside.
The two then set about cleaning up the zombies, and didn't go directly to the town, but along the river, one village at a time, began to clean up the past, with the motorboat that was brought back before, the two actions more convenient, set off in the morning and came back to rest at night, the road because of the speed of the motorboat, and also delayed little time.
The village people no longer hide inside the wall, although we do not dare to deal with the zombies head-on, but designed a lot of traps to lure the zombies, and then attack, although the progress is slower, but at least to ensure their own safety.
It was just that the speed of cleaning up was much slower than everyone thought, because even if the zombies were killed, it wasn't so easy to clean up the corpses.
Previously, Zhou Yan and Lu Bachuan didn't think so, just knocking down the zombies and thinking that with their speed, it wouldn't be a problem to clean up a smaller village a day.
Just a few days later, when they passed by that village they had cleaned up again, they almost didn't faint from the overwhelming stench, only then did they think that although zombies won't **, but zombies that have been shot down will still **.
After that it became a small half of the day spent dealing with zombies, and most of the day spent digging holes to bury zombie corpses, so you can imagine where the progress was fast.
But everyone was in no hurry, the number of zombies was limited anyway, as long as they persevered, there would always be a day when they would be cleaned up, not to mention, everyone knew that there were so many others around the world doing the same thing as them, and everyone was working towards the same goal.
There were quite a few survivors during the period, most of the countryside had stocks of food, and the number of zombies was small, so it was still possible to survive, but it wasn't like their village, where everyone could still farm, so they were also living a very difficult life. The ground in the space was being tilled without stopping.
At the onset of autumn, Lu Xinglian brought people to their town, only the town had already been cleared of zombies, and the nearby villages were even cleaner, so the military/team didn't need to spend much effort at all.
Because of this extra time, this team also had just enough time to have a few days free to fix things up, and Lu Xinglian also took the opportunity to go home again, sort of fulfilling the promise he had made to Morningside to go back to see him when the oranges on the orange tree in front of the gate were ripe.
This year's winter was again like last year when the snowstorm started early, but with the experience of the previous year, everyone had saved enough food again, so it was much easier to get by, and although they had all stopped cleaning up the zombies, everyone's morale wasn't dampened by the snowstorm, but instead they were all fighting with high spirits, wanting to practice martial arts hard this winter, so that they could deal with the zombies more easily in the next year.
So persistent, finally in the seventh year, most of the countries around the world began to gradually declare their territory cleared of zombies, and when the last zombie on Earth was killed, countless people cried out, crying for their compatriots who had died, crying that the disaster was finally over.
After that was the work of rebuilding, although it was not known what caused this disaster, but most of them still believed that it had something to do with the destruction of the environment, so when the city was rebuilt again, all of them put the maintenance of the environment as the first priority, and there were even a lot of survivors who simply stayed in the countryside and lived a life of homecoming.
After this time, Lu Jianguo and Ye Yuanrong were not willing to leave their hometowns again to live in the city, and Zhou Yan and Lu Bachuan naturally accompanied them, after all, the lives of the two old men were limited, and with their current situation, if the cultivation did not have any accidents, they still did not know. Where life ends, it is natural to be reluctant to leave one's parents again.
This kind of busy life, planting the land and watering the flowers in their spare time, is also suitable for their state of mind of cultivation.
Moreover, their parents are healthy, their loved ones are by their side, and their life is pleasant, what more could one ask for in life?
END What the author has to say: finally typed down the three letters END, there may be little angels who think that the end is a bit abrupt and there is still unfinished business, but the first time I planned to write this story, I only planned to go up to this point, so I can say that I've already written everything I wanted to write, although there are still many shortcomings.
There is one more extra that will add a few things that were not written in the main text.
Thank you to the little angels for over two months of companionship, and I'll see you again sometime!
The last new article, "Smoke and Fire among the clouds is a family", is expected to start at the end of the month, rolling for collections (*/ω＼*).
