Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Chapter 397: Raising a Child in the End of the World and Killing Zombies 11

The day of the zombie outbreak is getting closer and closer.

Muchen was squatting at the entrance of the cave, debugging the newly installed solar panels. The metal brackets glowed coldly in the sunlight.

Sirong came over with a freshly picked cucumber and stuffed half of it into his mouth: "Try it, it's the first crop from the backyard."

There was a sweet, crisp sound. Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and pointed at the cave ceiling. "Today, we'll install the last two sets of photovoltaic panels. We can try lighting the entire cave tonight."

He wiped the sweat off his face, the back of his work clothes caked with salt frost. "Guess what? When I was cleaning the storage room yesterday, I found a military wire buried in the wall, connected directly to the signal tower on the mountainside!"

Sirong's eyes suddenly lit up.

This means that they are likely to be able to maintain communication - just as I was about to ask in detail, the sound of a tractor suddenly came from the bottom of the mountain.

Li Chengcai was driving the most broken tractor in the village, with the bed filled with bulging sacks.

"Xiao Mu! The saltpeter powder you wanted!" Li Chengcai jumped out of the car, and the sack fell to the ground, raising a cloud of white smoke.

Sirong's family told Li Chengcai about the renovation of the cat's eye hole.

He was the only person who knew about this matter besides Sirong's family.

Even the old village chief and the others didn't tell anyone, and Li Chengcai tacitly agreed to keep the matter secret from his father.

His father is an old man with a strong sense of responsibility. Maybe because of his age, he is sometimes a little confused when dealing with things.

He is not afraid of anything else, but he is afraid that when the time comes, as soon as the villagers say something soft, he will wave his hand and arrange for everyone to come in.

Li Chengcai knew that all the renovations to the cat's eye hole were paid for by Sijia himself.

They also said that if the situation really gets out of control, they are willing to accept the people from the village.

But this does not mean that villagers can come here and get free accommodation without any pressure.

There are also many supplies prepared by the Si family themselves.

He lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "These are the old stocks from the chemistry laboratory of the town middle school. My uncle is the janitor..." Then he suddenly started coughing violently.

Muchen hurriedly handed him some water, but Sirong stared at his dark circles in shock.

This symptom was all too familiar. In her previous life, the first group of infected people had experienced this kind of bloody cough in the early stages of the disease. She subconsciously took a half step back, digging her nails into her palms.

Si Rong gave Muchen a look: "Brother Chengcai, besides the sore throat, are you feeling any other discomfort?"

"Ah?" Li Chengcai was stunned by the question.

"I've been feeling a little uncomfortable these past few days, and I feel weak all over." After saying these words, Li Chengcai realized belatedly what Sirong meant by asking him.

As he said this, he quickly retreated a long way back.

"Don't come over here, especially Rongrong. You're pregnant, don't let me infect you."

When Li Chengcai said this, his face had turned pale.

His face was filled with disbelief and horror.

He never imagined that he would be the first person in the village to be infected.

He had watched The Walking Dead, and when he thought that he might become like the one in the TV series, a monster without a soul that only eats flesh and blood, he instantly lost the courage to live.

At this time, Muchen walked towards Li Chengcai and reached out to pull him, but Li Chengcai dodged him.

"Brother Chengcai, don't panic. We still don't know if it's contagious through contact. According to inference, it's only possible for people who have been bitten to mutate."

"Don't panic, come with me first. You can't go back to the village in this state for the time being."

As Muchen spoke, he waved to Li Chengcai to follow him to a room in the cat's eye hole.

There are not many supplies in this room, but there are a lot of beddings.

These were the extra items Sirong and the others bought when they were stockpiling goods.

This is in case there are any emergencies and the villagers come running over and there are not enough beddings.

The winter in Northeast China is very cold.

Even if heating equipment is installed in the cat's eye hole, everyone cannot sleep on the ground.

So Sirong used the last bit of money she had to buy logistics pads for the courier company.

The project of building a temporary kang is too big and there is not enough time.

With this thing, you can put a quilt on it to keep out moisture and allow for breathability.

Muchen installed heaters in every room.

There is a valve for the heater in each room. If no one lives there, they will close the valve in that room and drain the water from the heater.

This can save a lot of energy.

Muchen and his friends bought a lot of coal, and also brought firewood and wooden boards from grandma's house.

The back mountain is full of mature pine trees. Sirong and the others thought that if the end of the world really came, no one would come and catch them for illegal logging.

If there is really not enough firewood, they will cut down a few pine trees nearby and use them as firewood.

Muchen led Li Chengcai to this room, then turned around and brought in a box of mineral water, as well as instant noodles, compressed biscuits and other fast food products.

"Brother Chengcai, you stay here for now. I'll go inform the village chief later. Don't worry, you won't necessarily turn into a zombie.

Have you read online novels? Maybe you'll awaken some special powers."

After saying that, he ran out again and brought back a tablet and some oral medications such as fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medicines.

Finally, Mu Chen looked at Li Chengcai's face, which looked like he was about to cry, and he didn't know what to say.

I could only shake my fist at him and say, "Don't give up on yourself!"

Then he turned around and closed the door.

It was Xiao 5 who told me about the superpowers.

There is no official statement yet, and no one has been found to have awakened.

In the past two months, Sirong and Muchen were busy stockpiling supplies, and Xiao 5 was sent out by Sirong to do his old job.

By testing various data on the Internet, of course, the research progress of the national bases and scientific research experts cannot be hidden from Xiao 5.

When she had nothing to do, she would sneak over to take a look and see how their experiments were progressing.

This time, those who showed symptoms of infection were isolated in rooms by them.

Each person has a room, so there is no risk of them biting each other after mutation. At the same time, scientific research experts will not easily enter their rooms.

All inspections are done by machines.

Moreover, a company of soldiers was assigned to guard the isolation hospital this time.

When the time Sirong mentioned arrives, everyone, whether experts or caregivers, will find a room and live alone in it for 24 hours.

The men in the army sat in pairs, tied themselves up with handcuffs or ropes, and loaded their rifles in their hands.

If you find anyone showing any abnormality, shoot them in the head.

People from other troops also received this order.
