Chapter 6 House Repairs
Under the joint action of atmospheric chlorine and iridium elements, a phenomenon that has not been clearly explained so far has appeared in the overall evolution of life on earth, that is:
The lower the creature, the higher the degree of evolution.
While humans generally evolve twice as much and about two thousandths more times evolve, many invertebrates with simple body structures generally evolve eight times, and the multiple evolution rate is also significantly higher than that of humans.
Hence, the Blue Star creatures after the natural disaster are several times more dangerous to humans than before the natural disaster.
Blue Star evolved organisms not only bring life danger to humans, but also bring opportunities for survival: organisms that contain trace amounts of harmful radioactive elements and chlorine elements that are no more than 5 parts per thousand.
The researchers named it: safe food.
At present, research has confirmed three points: first, the lower the content of the two types of elements, the more beneficial it is to the human body; second, the higher the proportion of safe food in the food eaten, the stronger the ability of humans to resist environmental pollution; third, multiple evolution The effect of safe organisms in enhancing human resistance is significantly better than ordinary safe food.
Since safe food cannot meet the consumption needs of the people across the country, China has classified as edible organisms that contain trace amounts or no radioactive elements harmful to the human body, and the radioactive elements content is between 5 and 15 parts per thousand. Choose food.
Safe food and optional food will all show a green light when tested with an ordinary chemical element detector.
The evolved catfish that Xia Qing shot to death, if taken to the safe zone, can be exchanged for enough food for her to eat for three months.
However, Xia Qing, who had had enough of the rough compound compressed rations, now only wants to eat meat.
She cleaned up the catfish quickly, chopped a few pieces and threw them into the pot, then added spring water and started boiling.
Seasoning? Just salt and paprika.
Side dishes? No.
No, she has evolved potato seeds, weighing six pounds.
However, Xia Qing is reluctant to eat it because the "Planting Encyclopedia" clearly states that the harmful element content in these potatoes is only 7.5 parts per thousand, and the germination rate is very low, between 30% and 35%.
With the six kilograms of potatoes she got, it was unknown how many seedlings she could grow and how many kilograms of potatoes she could harvest, so she was reluctant to eat them.
Soon, the tempting aroma of meat wafted from the pot. Xia Qingti took a sniff and confirmed that the catfish stewed by herself was more fragrant and had less earthy smell than the fish stew sold in the safe zone canteen.
This catfish is probably a safe food.
Although her food intake has doubled after evolution, Xia Qing cannot finish this catfish weighing more than ten kilograms in one meal.
There is no way to preserve fresh food in the territory, so Xia Qing slowly roasted the uneaten fish into dried fish, then put it into bags and sealed it for storage.
Only in this way, the fish meat will not be eroded or deteriorated by the elements and evolutionary bacteria in the air.
She will have more and more food in the future, and she has to find a way to install solar panels and a refrigerator as soon as possible. But before that, she had to find glass to patch up the windows to resist attacks by evolved insects or snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
Xia Qing picked up his large canvas bag and tools and decided to use the afternoon to inspect the deserted village.
There are three villages distributed in a Z-shaped pattern in No. 3. The villages are located slightly higher than the cultivated land and are separated from each other by large tracts of cultivated land. Each village had dozens of households before the natural disaster, but now there are only dozens of ruins of houses left. .
Xia Qing lives in a deserted village at the top of the "pin" shape. There is a deserted village to the southeast and southwest of this deserted village.
The houses in the deserted village had long been swallowed up by plants. Xia Qing pushed through the grass and saw many cleanly chewed human and animal bones.
Xia Qing has seen this kind of scene countless times in the past ten years and has long been numb. After searching in three villages, Xia Qing found tempered laminated glass of suitable size according to the size of her own window, cleaned it, installed it on the window frame of her home, and fixed it firmly with glass glue and special sealing strips.
By the tenth year, the building materials produced before the natural disaster have long expired and have deteriorated and cannot be used. The ones she is using now are building materials brought from the safe zone and produced after the natural disaster.
The natural disaster destroyed Blue Star's original industrial production system, causing most of the supplies that could be bought with just a click of the phone before the natural disaster to become in short supply that could not be found.
Xia Qing was able to obtain these glass glue and sealing strips by relying on his status as the captain of the construction team.
After his father's death, the helpless and beautiful Xia Qing wanted to live a comfortable and decent life in the safe zone. He had to either have super strength, make a living with a group of powerful teammates who could back him up, or rely on betrayal. Change your daily routine.
Xia Qing does not have super strength, no teammates she can trust, and she does not want to sell her body, so she chooses to cut off her long hair, put on a red face, and join the construction team to work as a coolie.
Earning points is a secondary purpose. Xia Qing’s main purpose is to hide herself, learn construction techniques, and accumulate materials and tools that are not available on the market to prepare for living alone after leaving the safe zone.
Of course, there were people in the construction team who wanted to take advantage of Xia Qing, but after experiencing her strong power, they all stopped thinking.
For those who were unwilling to give up and could kill, Xia Qing directly took their lives; for those who couldn't be killed, Xia Qing could only hide and use dirty tricks to prevent them from noticing her dirty appearance.
After installing the bright glass, Xia Qing let out a long sigh of relief. Her home was finally secure.
While there was still some time before dark, Xia Qing took a shovel to the yard next door, dug a hole and buried the remains covered by weeds, leaving only the bones of two humans, one big and one small, and a dog.
The two people and the dog were both killed by the evolved plant mistletoe. Judging from their postures, the dog was trying to save its owner until it died.
Evolution The seeds of mistletoe can not only be parasitic on tree trunks, but can also be parasitic on animals and humans. If the host does not detect it in time and eliminate it completely, it will soon **** all its flesh and blood and die.
Xia Qing still remembers the first time she saw bunches of bright red mistletoe fruits on the bodies of people killed by mistletoe. At that time, she thought it was the most terrifying scene of a natural disaster.
But over the years, one thrill after another made her realize that there is no scariest thing, only scarier ones. Fortunately, humans now have protective clothing and other self-protection methods. As long as they do not venture into uncleared evolutionary forests, they will not suffer large-scale attacks by evolved creatures.
After burying the three members of the family, Xia Qing also cleared away the weeds and houses in the yard.
This family was building a house. The two-story main structure made of reinforced concrete had just been completed when acid rain and biological evolution occurred. Therefore, there was no time to build the secondary structure, doors and windows of the house, and the purchased building materials were piled up in the room on the second floor. .
Fortunately, the roof of the building is made of resin tiles, and the homeowner tried his best to protect the house. Otherwise, the strong acid rainwater that lasted for half a year would have destroyed the concrete, not to mention the steel bars.
Xia Qing is alone, and the current two-story building is enough to live in, so he decided to clear out the shelf building and use it as a warehouse to store some large and unimportant materials, such as farm tools, building materials, used furniture, and wood.
After cleaning up and walking around again, Xia Qing felt full of accomplishment. At the same time, she felt that she should raise an evolved animal that could only look after the house as soon as possible, preferably a smart one.
Evolved dogs and goose are both acceptable, preferably the goose because it is a vegetarian. Xia Qing herself has no meat to eat and cannot afford to raise a dog.
But this is just a thought. It is difficult to find an animal that can be tamed by humans after evolution. Xia Qing didn't think he had such luck. He could wait and pick one up in the territory.
At this stage, the most important thing is to plant the land first.
