There is a third-level highway connecting the settlement to the provincial highway, which is about 1 km long.
There are about a dozen villages nearby, as well as large tracts of farmland.
When the doomsday comes, this road becomes the only exit from the Xibu settlement to the outside world.
For their own safety, the settlement sent troops and evolver teams to clear out the zombies in nearby villages along the highway.
At the same time, a barbed wire fence was erected on one side of the provincial road, troops were stationed, and a safety zone was built.
Zombies are basically rare in the safe zone.
It is also where most refugees look for food.
In just two or three months, dozens of square kilometers of land in the safe zone were swept away by refugees like locusts.
Grass roots, leaves, everything that insects and ants could eat were all plundered and turned into a desolate land.
At noon, the scorching sun hung high, baking the earth with its fiery rays.
Driving on the highway, Li Ba rolled down the window, and the scorching wind blew in, making his whole body unbearably hot.
“Damn it would be nice if there was air conditioning.”
Wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Li Ba muttered.
Under the baking sun, the interior of the carriage was like a furnace, with the temperature reaching over forty degrees.
He felt like the fat on his body was being roasted out of oil.
Turning over with his left hand, there was an extra piece of sorghum stalk, and Li Ba started chewing it.
Not to mention, the mutated sorghum stalks taste great, rich in juice, sweet and delicious.
After eating them, the heat in the whole body will be relieved immediately.
While eating, he looked out of the car.
On both sides of the road, corpses of refugees can be seen everywhere, whether they died of starvation or thirst.
Many of the bones had been severely decomposed and emitted a foul odor.
On the barren land on both sides of the road, you can see two or three figures, some staggering, some lying on the ground, sticking up their buttocks as if looking for something in the ground.
As the apocalypse approaches, the climate becomes harsh, and refugees are swarmed by locusts, which has destroyed the ecological environment of this land.
Nowadays, it is difficult to find even grass from the safe zone, let alone food.
If the refugees want to get food, they either go to the mountains or leave the safe area and go to the other side of the provincial road.
For Li Ba, he would not take risks.
The reason why he bought cars and equipment was to wash away the food grown in the bracelet space.
After driving for five or six kilometers, the refugees gradually disappeared.
Li Ba saw a rural gravel road ahead on the left.
Without thinking much, he turned the steering wheel and drove straight in.
He was looking for a secluded place.
Driving along the gravel road, when passing a small village, Li Ba did not stop and continued moving forward.
In the post-apocalyptic world, the supplies in villages near the safety zone have long been plundered by survivors.
Despite this, there are still refugees who are determined to come here in search of food.
Therefore, villages are not a good place to launder grain.
Continuing forward until the end of the gravel road, Li Ba stopped the car.
After opening the door and getting out of the car, he looked around.
It was deserted and very quiet.
Ten meters ahead, there is a small slope with a few dead trees on it, no branches or leaves left, but the trees can still block some sunlight.
“That’s it” Li Ba walked behind the tricycle, put down the carriage board, and inserted the steel spear into his back again.
Afterwards, he took out the plastic sheet from the bracelet space and spread it flat on the carriage.
With a wave of his hand, golden corn kernels appeared in piles on the plastic sheet.
These corns are the grains just harvested this morning.
Excluding the sticks, there are still more than five hundred kilograms.

After the corn is peeled in the bracelet space, because the corn is fresh, it needs to be dried before it can be taken back to the city for sale.
Li Ba took out a wooden chopstick from the bracelet space and spread the corn kernels evenly on the plastic sheet.
There was a small area left, and he took out the harvested wheat from the bracelet space and dried it in the midday sun.
Ten minutes later.
After finishing his work, Li Ba wiped his sweat and walked to the slope to enjoy the shade under a dead tree.
The view here is good, and he can immediately notice anything happening around him.
Leaning against the tree, Li Ba narrowed his eyes and waited for the sun to set.
When you are thirsty, there are sorghum stalks to quench your thirst.
I'm bored.
I have plenty of cigarettes.
It's quite pleasant.
Seeing the corn and wheat drying on the carriage, a happy smile appeared on his plump face.
As long as he waits until evening, he can return home with a full load.
"If that bitch Zhou Yan sees this cart of food and goes back, she will definitely drag me to watch a striptease again in the evening."
It's rare that Li Ba still has such crooked thoughts at this moment.
Thinking of that slut's charming and sexy figure, he felt an evil fire rising in his lower abdomen for no reason.
He thought to himself, when I get rich, I will let this slut kneel down and lick me.
Even if it costs two thousand kilograms of food, it will still be worth it.
The fiery sun gradually sets in the west.
In the evening, all the corn and wheat dried in the sun are completely dry.
When the harvest begins, Li Ba first collects the corn and wheat into the bracelet space, where the conscious body can easily classify and package these grains.
After it was over, he whistled and got into the car.
With the roar of the engine, the tricycle emitted billowing black smoke and drove away.
After the apocalypse, the climate changes and the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge.
During the day, the highest temperature can reach over 40 degrees.
When evening comes, the temperature drops rapidly by more than 20 degrees, bringing a hint of coolness to the scorching earth.
Night gradually fell.
Jie'er stood at the intersection, motionless, staring at the street with her big, smart eyes, her little face full of anxiety and sadness.
She was once the favorite granddaughter of her grandparents.
The apple of my parents' eye.
In the eyes of the teacher, he is a good student with excellent academic performance.
In the eyes of classmates, she is a class beauty who comes from a superior family background and is beautiful.
Unexpectedly, the end will come and destroy all this beauty.
A family of five, including grandma and parents, contracted the virus and turned into zombies.
If her grandfather hadn't seen the opportunity and escaped from home with her, she would probably have been torn into pieces and eaten alive by her closest relatives.
After hunger, panic, despair, and a long period of darkness, she and her grandfather depended on each other, and finally escaped with the help of the army from the city that had become a hell on earth.
After going through hardships, we arrived at the Xibu settlement.
I originally thought I could start a new life here.
As a result, she and her grandfather were excluded from the city and wandered in a dirty refugee camp full of danger and murder.
In order to survive, she and her grandfather, like many refugees, searched for food in the wilderness.
I ate grass roots, tree bark, anything that could fill my stomach.
This cruel world filled her heart with despair.
Fortunately, she had her grandfather's comfort and encouragement, otherwise she would have been unable to survive and would rather die than continue to live in this cruel world.
However, faith did not bring good luck.
In order to take care of her, her grandfather suffered from hunger and became seriously ill.

At the same time, the most despicable beasts in the refugee camp were attracted, and they even wanted to eat grandpa and treat her Fortunately, at the critical moment, Uncle Li's figure appeared, like a ray of light at dawn, bringing hope to her dark life.
This man, who didn't look like a good person, agreed to her grandfather's request before he died, and treated her with an almost doting behavior, which gradually melted her desperate heart.
Life starts to look good.
The hunger and suffering gradually went away.
All this comes from Uncle Li.
His broad shoulders and big belly have become his warmest haven.
For Ya'er, Uncle Li is the sky, the mountain she relies on.
Now that the sky has fallen and the mountains have disappeared, she is terrified and has not felt at ease all day.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, you said that even if you die, you will die with me.
Why do you want to go out of the city?
Do you know how dangerous it is outside the city?"
Unknowingly, tears blurred his eyes.
Zhou Yan and her sisters stood nearby.
No matter how they tried to persuade her, she refused to go back.
She has to wait for Uncle Li here.
If she doesn't see him for a day, she won't feel at ease.
Night falls.
The wind suddenly blew on the street, and the temperature dropped sharply.
The girl, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, was shivering with cold, but she still stood stubbornly at the intersection, waiting for the most important person to return.
Zhou Yan saw it from the side and sighed in her heart, feeling even more guilty.
If it weren't for her, Fatty wouldn't have left the city.
There is no need to think about the dangers outside the city.
It's so late, and the fat man hasn't come back yet, so it's foreseeable that things will be bad.
Da da da At this moment, the sound of roaring engines came along the street, accompanied by dazzling lights.
A farm tricycle came quickly, and when it reached the intersection of the hotel where Yao'er was standing, it braked with a screeching sound.
Jie'er was blinded by the light.
I vaguely saw a figure getting out of the car, followed closely by the very familiar laughter: "Girl, it's so windy outside, why are you standing here?"
Uncle Li Ya'er flew over and hugged the figure tightly, never wanting to let go.
Li Ba saw the little girl's face covered with tears.
He knew that this day had made her worried and concerned.
His fat face was filled with love and affection.
He smiled and said, "Uncle is fine.
Look, I have a gun in my hand, which is enough for self-defense."
He patted his back and inserted the steel spear and shield into his body.
Even with the shotgun slung on his back, and paired with a black trench coat, his tall, fat figure was full of majesty.
The little girl felt better after seeing her.
Guns are a deadly weapon that are out of reach for ordinary people.
Uncle Li will be much safer even if he leaves the city with a gun in hand.
"Hey, I got a lot of supplies when I left the city this time."
Zhou Yan and her sisters gathered around.
The three women with sharp eyes looked surprised when they saw six or seven bulging bags placed in the tricycle compartment.
Li Ba chuckled and said proudly: "I got a lot of good things from my trip to the city this time.
I have sold a batch at the market.
I will take the rest home for you to see."
He pinched Ya'er's little face. , turned around and started unloading the goods.

Several women saw it and all stepped forward to help.
One in each hand, he carried two sacks back to the hotel and stacked them in the corner.
After several trips, all the goods in the carriage were unloaded.
Looking at Kong'er, Zhou Yan took a look at the sack.
It was filled with yellow and orange corn and plump wheat.
There are seven sacks in total, each with a net weight of one hundred pounds.
In other words, this batch of grain alone weighs seven to eight hundred kilograms.
"I really can't tell that this fat guy has some abilities."
Zhou Yan's eyes lit up.
Of course she didn't know that Li Ba grew all this food from the bracelet space.
She thought that Li Ba had gone out to the city to search for it today, and she was full of surprises.
Fatty is fine.
He's back safely, and she won't have a bad conscience.
Secondly, when you return home with a full load, this batch of food alone is almost enough to repay your debt.
There are seven sacks and two sacks of wheat, all of which are fine grains.
After shelling, it is worth at least three to four hundred kilograms of food stamps.
Counting five bags of corn, it should be enough to pay off the debt.
Zhou Yan was delighted.
After Fatty paid off his debt, she was one step closer to her goal. s: Collection and recommendation, one request per day.
By the way, I’ve been banned for some reason, so I can’t reply to Zhixiang-kun.
I just want to ask, brother, what am I doing to you, do you want to hate me:
