Chapter 24: Freshman

Liu Ye walked into the farm. There are four three-story small buildings. Each one is plugged with a simple wind turbine. In the evening, Mom starts to cook and smokes. They have hardly had a meal these days. Cooked cooked food.
In the cafeteria, Yu's mother served meals. Liu Ye glanced around and found that there were nearly a hundred more people, including men and women, and women more than men.
"I'm afraid the mark will not work." Hu Yan said: "One day I can't sleep, but fortunately you have come."
Meng Xie sipped out a meal and asked, "Mark?"
Deng Changhe said, "Did you not come here by the mark?"
Zhang Ye said blankly: "No ... Is it covered by the snow? Where are you marking?"
Hu Yan couldn't help crying: "We passed by Hanzhong along Baoji, all road signs were written with Mongolian characters and arrows were drawn to let you go northwest ..."
"Pit father!" Meng Yue growled sadly: "We are walking east of Xi'an! National Road 108! Cassia! You tricks are not sure how to feed!"
Everyone laughed, Liu Ye shook his head helplessly.
"Thank you Lord for your guidance." Wu Weiguang said, "finally found it."
Liu Ye nodded, and Hu Ye said, "Finally we can unload the burden and leave it to you."
Liu Ye did not give up, saying, "There are many places in the future that need your help."
Hu Yan nodded and smiled, "I won't quit."
The people rescued by Mengli and Liu Ye in the sanctuary were very familiar. They were excited one by one that day, but the 117 people rescued by Hu Yan through Yan'an did not know them at all.
Meng Ye and Zhang Ye had dinner and went to talk to the new asylum seekers one by one, test them, and form a team.
Liu Ye took over the distribution map and resources of the entire farm, as well as the personnel list, and convened a meeting for everyone. Of course, there is no such thing as Lin Musen's current calculations and conflicts of ideas.
The strategy development new map mode opens and the game begins.
After their meeting in the second-floor lobby of the farmer, Liu Ye integrated the opinions of all the people, recorded the members' expertise in detail, and started planning the second construction.
This time it was finally completely safe, no matter when it was time, location or peace.
Time is undoubtedly the biggest factor, and the cold will last for a long time.
Geographical location: Nongjiale is located in the most secluded part of Taihang Mountain, not north-south, the only way to go from east to west. Unless the zombies cross the mountains, there is little chance that they will be attacked.
The direction of the zombie's migration to Liu Ye is not clear. No matter whether it is going south or going north like a migratory bird in spring, he will not come here to visit.
Three hundred kilometers east of the farm is Xi'an, west is Tianshui, and further northwest is Lanzhou. There is a gas station ten kilometers away, and there are many villages around, but all are small towns with less than 100 people.
Renhe: Lin Musen's gang management model is finally over, and everyone is relieved. Although this zombie tide does not know when it will end, maybe tomorrow, or maybe thirty years later, the road ahead may be long and cruel, but as long as we hold each other's hearts, everything will gradually improve.
In the evening, Liu Ye packed up the list and handed it to Hu Ye, saying, "Personnel is still for you. I am not suitable for management, I will only make some gadgets and work hard."
At the age of ten, Hu Yan was like a polite brother, but he never held his own age. He smiled at the words and took the list to arrange it. Liu Yan opened the curtains in the study, and a small snow fell outside. Cassia and a few children were having a snowball fight. Zhang Ye and Mengying each led a team to talk.
He will be living here from tomorrow. The two rooms on the third floor have been cleaned and they are reserved for them.
The door knocked, Liu Ye turned and Wu Weiguang pushed in.
Liu Yidao: "Pastor, how is your missionary work going?"
Wu Weiguang replied, "I am not here to preach to you, but if you have the idea of ​​converting to the Lord, I am willing to show you a way."
Liu Yidao: "Forget it, there is no such idea at present. Why?"
Wu Weiguang seemed a bit difficult to word, considering a full minute, saying, "It will be Christmas in a few days."
Liu Ye thought for a while and joked: "Meng Ye is very ... not waiting to see this festival. But I promise he won't interfere with you."
Wu Weiguang rubbed his nose, smiled, and said, "Please walk around, I think they have a lot to say to you."
Liu Ye said with pleasure: "Well, I'm planning to do this."
Everyone was back at dusk. It was a fulfilling and busy day. Meng Yun, wearing mittens and full military uniforms, explained the defense arrangement to a dozen men in the restaurant. These are the team captains he has temporarily elected.
Zhang Huan decided, with long legs crossed, from time to time to express his opinions.
"That's it for the time being," Meng said. "Our plan needs to be accompanied by Liu Ye's tweaked gadgets before we can start the detailed layout. Everyone needs to have a little thought ahead of time ..." Yu Guang glanced out of his eyes and went downstairs , Casually commanded: "Dissolve first, prepare for dinner."
There is a shabby corridor on the side of the restaurant, leading to the public lounge in the middle. Behind the lounge is a chess and card room. Four small strip-shaped buildings surround the central pool, garden and rockery.
"The previous owner here is still a gentleman." Liu Xun took the little finger of Meng Xuan, and flickered lazily, smiling: "Landscape painting, bamboo, look."
Zhang Huan and Ju Ming held hands and staggered behind, Zhang Huan said, "Well, there is a bamboo forest."
Meng Yun said: "In the future, you can raise a few pandas here. Liu Ye used to like pandas."
Liu Yan: "..."
Zhang Ye smiled: "Just what I want, Cassia also likes pandas very much."
Cassia: "A few more days is Christmas? Are there any gifts? Pandas are gifts?"
Meng Yun: "Oh forget, what's so good about that kind of foreign festival, don't forget the ancestor's stuff ..."
Liu Ye: "What's the relationship between spending Christmas and forgetting the ancestors' stuff? Don't steal the concept."
Cassia: "Just ..."
Meng Yun: "Anyway, I don't have a cold at all about foreign devil stuff. I don't know Jesus, and I don't know fucking, huh?"
Zhang Huan: "Huh huh huh?"
Liu Ye: "You were only scolded for being late for the holiday with me that winter, so you were angry with ..."
Meng Yun: "How many times have I told you that the train is late! Is it easy for me to take a vacation? Qian Liyi came back to accompany you for a foreign devil's festival, I risked rear-end collisions, overturning, derailment, and being scumbed by Ministry of Railway The danger of corpse destruction is to come back by train, meet you at 6 pm, and go back by car at 10 pm, only four hours, depending on your face ... "
Cassia: "Meow Meow Meow ..."
Zhang Huan: "Wang Wangwang!"
Liu Ye: "Sergeant Mengye! Don't force me to expose your old man! I waited for you for ten hours in the cold wind at the station, obviously you dozed off in the car and sat by the station ..."
Meng Yan: "Ah! The lights are bright here! Is there a camera?"
Zhang Huan: "Let's look over there."
Cassia: "I'll find a camera."
Zhang Huan pretended to be posing with Cassia, and he danced a few dance steps, and then walked away.
The electricity is not sufficient, but the basic lighting and facilities are adequately supplied. The previous owner of the farmhouse took good care of it and had a battery to prevent power outages.
Today Liu Ye and they returned. The hall was brightly lit, Elvis' "" came slowly from the side hall, and there was an indescribable romance flowing in the music.
"I'm just ... too excited for two days." Meng Yue said regretfully, "I thought I could come back to meet you, I couldn't sleep for 48 hours ... so on the car ..."
Liu Ye: "Isn't it enough to say it early? Hey, what do you want to do to save face? Is n’t it hard to admit you love me so much? It ’s not too shameful, and it ’s not a small piece of meat.
The itchiness of the tooth was itchy, and I wanted to press Liu Ye for a meal.
Wen Qige stood quietly outside the chess room. He has a long body, a straight military uniform, and a serious and stern face.
Liu Ye glanced at the song and sang. He seemed to be waiting here. His eyes touched Liu Ye and Meng Ye a little, and he turned away. Meng Yue said: "This boy is doing a good job. They said that he killed a lot of zombies along the way, let Deng Changhe protect other people in the car, go down the road alone ... more than 100 people rescued from Yan'an and Xi'an later, He also took people to rescue. "
Liu Ye whispered, "I'm going to talk to him?"
Wen Qige said, "Liu Ye, you are back."
Liu Xun nodded, glanced sideways, Meng Xuan took off his hat and smoked on the sofa. Liu Xie said, "I heard you did a good job."
Wen Qige said, "What happened to the ... who was locked up? Have you seen it before you left?"
After Liu Yun's confusion for a short time, he thought of the man who had died indirectly in the Wenhe singer in the shelter.
"Um." Liu Xie lied and said, "The last thing we left, Meng Xun opened the lock, released him, and joined their new zombie friends to join the army moving south."
Wen Qige's expression loosened, but her eyes remained sad.
Liu Ye finally understood, and Wen Qige was the one waiting here.
Wen Qige said, "I want to show you something, I don't know how to decide ..."
Liu Yan turned back and said, "The master!"
Meng Yun smiled and stood up, leaning on Liu Ye's shoulders, smelled Qi Ge and glanced at them and said, "Come here."
His expression seemed difficult to choose. He didn't speak along the way. He took them to the second floor. The easternmost corridor in the resort was very humid, and the floor and walls were mild and desolate.
Meng Yun glanced towards the end of the corridor. All of them lived in the West Building, and there was no accommodation in the East Building.
Wen Qige took out a bunch of keys, opened the door of 217, and took them in.
There was no electricity in the dark and wet room. Lin Musen was lying on the bed. His body was covered with a thin blanket, his legs were cut off with his knees, and there were traces of blood on the sheets.
The room was smelly, but it looked like someone was cleaning it from time to time, and there were a few wild flowers in a glass vase on the bedside table.
Lin Musen was dying. He was breathing asthma slowly in bed, his chest falling down like a bellows.
Wen Qige said, "When we found him, his two feet were pressed under the armored vehicle."
Liu Ye nodded and said, "I'm still thinking, when will you tell me about this?"
Blindfolded, "How do you know he's alive?"
Liu Ye smiled: "The wind turbine was designed by Tang Yichuan. He didn't ask us about the whereabouts of his sister, and proved that he had been found. Most of Lin Musen ...
"Let Zhang Ye come over," Meng Ye said, "show him."
Hearing the song relieved, quickly went out to call people.
Zhang Ye came a moment later, uncovered the blanket under Lin Musen and glanced.
"Medicine is scarce," Wu Weiguang said, "I can only amputate his leg."
Zhang Huan said, "Even if he had an amputation, he should not be able to live long. His knees were completely necrotic, and his muscle tissue became infected with pus ... Thanks for no virus.
Wu Weiguang said, "Mr. Zhang, can you cure him with acupuncture and ointment in Chinese medicine."
Zhang Huan said, "I'll do my best. It's hard to say."
Everyone in the room was silent, Lin Musen opened his eyes.
"Liu Ye." Lin Musen said.
"Sen brother." Liu Yan's tone was calm.
Lin Musen said, "I'm ... under the container truck, there's an axle ... I put a pack of things ... give it to Yi Xiao."
No one answered him, Lin Musen also said, "Xiaowen, our brother ... to this day, how much will survive."
Wen Qige replied: "Six."
Lin Musen smiled helplessly and said, "Where is Wang Shu?"
Wen Qige said, "The people in that car, except you and Tang Yixiao, are dead."
Lin Musen nodded slowly and said, "Let them listen to you ..."
"... You, listen to Meng, recognize him as the elder brother." Lin Musen exhaled, like a leader who explained the aftermath, closed his eyes and said, "The window is a little leaky, go and help ... Sen brother to make up. "
They left Lin Musen's cell, smelled the song and locked the door, and sighed.
Montana stayed, went downstairs with him, and asked, "How long have you been with him?"
Wen Qige said, "Five years."
Meng Yun knew Wen Qige had a feeling for the boss after all. He turned around the corner, and the two stood face to face. Meng Yun said, "Listen, I'm not your big brother, and I don't have to listen to everything. mine."
Wen Qige nodded and said, "Everyone is born equal, you just have to be responsible for your conscience."
Wu Weiguang planned a Christmas dinner. Liu Ye made a few handmade gifts for many people who joined the team. They used multi-purpose knives and fishing rods-they could go fishing in the spring.
There are also medals for children: Meng Yun expanded the establishment again, in addition to the wolf squads, potato mines (bomb-laying engineers), timid mushrooms, sunflowers (logistics), pea shooters ( Sniper), the watermelon pitcher team (grenadier), and added the Destruction Mushroom team-suicide attack team, only one member: the light pole commander Wen and song.
He gave Wen Shige a shoulder badge of Destroying Mushrooms. These days, Wen Shige is always out of fashion, doesn't laugh, doesn't speak, like a criminal who isolates himself.
He sat alone while eating and never participated in playing cards, thinking about things in the snow.
But when he saw something, he would take the initiative to do it. The death of the two people still had a shadow in his heart. He worked in the cold and got up to night from morning.
He took the last five underworld brothers left by Lin Musen to repair the greenhouse in the back garden.
A large amount of seeds, sacks of vegetables and flower seeds are stored in the warehouse. Seeds of melons and fruits are prepared by the farmer and are specially provided for vacationers who come to play in the farmhouse. The former people here have all become zombies, and the animals raised are so hungry that they run away. Flocks of chickens hid in dilapidated greenhouses to avoid the cold, and ate lettuce leaves and earthworms, green vegetables, and tomatoes. No one fertilized them. They grew like plants and became a self-sufficient ecological cycle.
The ducks wandered out during the day and went back to the greenhouse to find food in the afternoon. Liu Ye was really marveled at the robust vitality of nature. Most of these poultry survived without care.
Fertilizers and pesticides are readily available. There is also a lot of grain, and the large bales of flour and rice in the granary are enough for them to eat for a year. The drainage system is connected to a nearby groundwater channel, and the domestic waste has been discharged into a tributary of the river channel and merged into the sewage river along Xi'an.
In this self-sufficient farm, there is little domestic waste, and most of the fertilizer is manure from pigs, chickens and ducks. Little pollution to nature.
Behind the spacious farm is a large area of ​​land that has spread to the river. There are also a few abandoned, arable land machinery that can be used after Liu Ye has rebuilt it.
Zhang Huan took a patrol along the east bank and found lost cattle and pigs. In a cave, he found three skinny sows and several shivering piglets.
Zhang Ye took them back, and Liu Ye joked, "Find a few more dogs, and the farming is complete."
"Will you farm?" Meng Yan said.
"Can't you learn it?" Liu Ye was reading a book about crop planting. These books were not thrown into the snow when Deng Changhe led the army's long march to flee. Liu Ye really didn't know what to laugh at. Stupid still praises his cleverness.
In the spring of next year, they will reclaim the fields and plant the first wheat. A college student from Nannong and another latecomer from West China Agricultural University joined them, and everything has stabilized. The seed named Hope is taking root, sprouting, branching, and flowering in this isolated land.
Meng said: "Let's go and make a snowman."
Liu Yan said: "No time."
Meng Yun: "Well, take a break, look, eh? How happy is Zhang Juming's little student there?"
Liu Yan: "No, you can play with him, live to learn old, old school waste is a bad pro."
Meng Yun: "Don't make me rough."
Liu Yan: "Come! Brother, you are fat now, right?"
Meng Yan said nothing, hugged Liu Ye horizontally, sang aloud, and jumped off the second floor.
The snowball flew in all directions in an instant, Liu Ye climbed up from the five-body-throwing monk, fled away in a big laugh around, and decided to take his teammates to envelop two paths aggressively, killing him, and Liu Ye told Rao Fleeing, Meng Yun rushed forward, chasing after him.
Liu Yan fell down in the snow, Meng Yan caught up, hugged a kiss, was pushed away by Liu Yan, and rushed up again.
"Baby!" Zhang Yan said, "coming back!"
"Your dad told you to go home to eat and kiss!" Meng Yun turned back and said, "The pro-kid who was kicked by the donkey!" Said Bi Xue faced a snowball again, and Liu Ye fell in the snow together.
Meng Yan carried Liu Ye on his back, and his footsteps crooked in the snow, and extended to the distance.
"Boss here." Meng Yan looked up at the birch forest and the wooden house in the forest: "A rich man."
Liu Xuan was buried on Meng Xuan's shoulders, and he was carried away by his back. His shoulders were wide and his back was firm and reliable.
"Well," Liu Yan said casually, "you can see, single?"
Meng Yun said, "Did you not read the sundries in the study? Last time I sorted out a stack of love letters, which he wrote to his wife when he was young."
"He was an educated youth in the 1960s, and he is older than our parents." Meng Yun said with a lot of emotions. "After returning to the city, he started from scratch, started business in the 1990s, married the girl, and had no children. . After earning tens of millions of assets, I sold the company to a large company, brought my wife here, and started a farmhouse. "
Liu Ye smiled softly: "It's a very fun life, not many people can retreat."
Meng Yan nodded: "I saw those love letters, and he still missed the educated youth life when he went to the countryside. The girl was a rural person and has always supported him to start a business. I did not expect that the owner woman died after a few years after opening the farm. , He left here to take care of it alone, and hired someone to take care of it, look at the front. "
They stopped in front of the two tombstones in the birch forest behind the wooden house.
One tombstone is a marble whiteboard, smooth and unlettered, and the other tombstone is engraved with the "tomb of my wife Rui Wanwan".
"It should be a virus brought by people who came to take refuge in the city." Meng said, "This boss has also become a zombie. After Hu Rong solved him, he found it when searching nearby. You see, he buried his wife. , And a grave was left, ready to be buried after he died. "
Liu Ye said: "Where is the body?"
Meng said, "I asked them to move over and bury them a few days ago."
Liu Xun nodded, holding hands with Meng Xuan and stood in front of the tombstone for a while, then said: "Thank you for the farm you left, and wish you to meet again in the sky."
"Eat—!" Deng Changhe shouted with a loud voice: "Meng Yun! Liu Ye! Have New Year's Eve today! Come back soon!"
Meng Yun: "I carried you when I came, now you carry me."
He couldn't help but slap on Liu Ye, who took a difficult step and moved steadily forward. It's like Cassia carrying a huge naughty leopard plush doll on his back, dragging his feet on the snow, Liu Xie walked out of the 50 meters with his back on the snow, fluttering into the snow, pretending to die. Moved.
New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, December 31, 2012.
Meng Xuan ordered forty bottles of rice wine to be opened. Two hundred people ate meat in the hall, drew punches, and after a meal, they played cards and smoked, and had snacks for fun. Drumming and passing flowers, telling jokes and singing.
Zhang Ye was very popular. When he drunk, he was drunk by turns and lay on the sofa.
"Dad ..." Cassia said.
Meng Yun: "Dear! Your dad fell down! Got vomit! Go play the radio! Come back later! Penalize him to wash the clothesboard at night!"
The men carried Zhang Ye aside noisily. At 11.40 in the evening, Hu Yan's English singing was affectionate and nice. Deng Changhe played the guitar in the middle, screaming and applauding to wake Zhang Ye.
"Will my brother? Come one by one." The film police handed the guitar.
Zhang Qiang buzzed, took the guitar, played a song with a smile, and the girls were screaming and applauding again.
"Wait a minute, I'll see what I can play." Zhang Huan passed his wine and smiled handsomely, holding the old guitar that was pulled out from the relic pile, and turned to the music score left by the former owner. One page past.
"It's about to count down," Zhang said. "Five minutes left. Don't play."
"One more thing—" the crowd yelled.
"What about Cassia?" Liu Yan turned to find someone.
Meng Yin drank a little bit high and said, "It's about to count down, you have to find Cassia."
"Let Wendi come down to become magic!" Xie Fenghua knocked on the bottle and laughed: "Wendi will become magic!"
Liu Ye turned upstairs and smelled the song and closed the door from the second floor. Without locking the door, he stood in the corridor, looking out the window full of snow.
Liu Ye said, "Did Lin Musen eat it?"
Lin Musen's condition has deteriorated again and again these days, and he only eats very little every day. Today is New Year's Eve. When they were carnivaling in the restaurant downstairs, Liu Ye told him to sing and bring some food to eat.
Wen Qige said, "He is dead."
Liu Yan sighed and said, "Dead ... I will settle my life and wish him peace."
Wen Qige said, "The priest prayed to him."
Liu Ye nodded and said, "Count down immediately, go down, Feng Hua will make you magic. When dawn, Meng Ye will bring someone to bury him."
Wen Qige said, "Okay, Liu Ye, I will show you a magic trick."
Wen Qige took out a coin, a bomb in his left hand, grabbed it in his right hand, spread his palm, and inside it was a ball of snowball.
Liu Ye laughed.
Wen Qige said, "Liu Ye, Happy New Year." He pulled down his collar and went down the stairs.
Liu Ye stood outside the door, but he still didn't push the door.
"Sen brother, goodbye." Liu Yan said outside the door, then turned to the third floor.
A cold wind blew from the corridor on the third floor. Cassia was wearing thick cotton hats and gloves, his face was red, wrapped in a thick coat, holding a radio, sitting on the edge of the window. Sky.
Xiaoxue went down and down, and decided to turn the FM to the left and to the right.
Liu Ye said: "You really play radio here."
Cassia said, "Ah? I don't drink. Does he vomit?"
Liu Ye said, "Go ahead. It's counting down. Coming soon in 2013."
"Ten-nine-eight-seven-"
The countdown downstairs came from far away, and Liu Ye didn't leave. He simply stood behind Cassia and looked at the silent sky outside quietly.
"Baby-" Zhang Huan ran upstairs.
"Six-five-four-"
At that moment, the entire farm was brightly lit, all the lights were on, and the wooden sign hanging on the door of the farm was written with three words-"Yongwang Town".
The five-color lights twined on the wooden sign illuminate and illuminate, and the colorful Christmas tree stands in the snow.
Meng Yan walked up the spiral staircase.
"three two--"
"One!"
"Yay--!"
The cheering came from far away in the snow, and the next second, a steady, reliable male voice sounded.
"Here is the China branch of the International Rescue Organization Alliance. Today is 00:00 on January 1, 2013. On behalf of the Chinese military, the government is calling all survivors ..."
Liu Yan: "..."
Cassia somehow, looked down at the radio in his hand.
"In the past five months, human beings have suffered the worst disaster in history, radio channels have been cut off, and all cities in the country have been caused by a virus ..."
"Meng 烽 !" Liu Ye pulled up Jue Ming's hand and rushed down the stairs. Zhang Ye who went upstairs immediately hugged Jue Ming and rushed to the next floor.
"Quiet! Quiet! Listen!" Meng Yan shouted.
Two hundred people in the entire hall calmed down, and didn't even hear the sound of breathing. The only thing that sounded was the radio in Jue Ming's hand. Liu Ye shuddered and turned the volume to the maximum.
"In the past five months, we have seen almost no hope. The infected have destroyed our home. This is a devastating blow, but disaster can never destroy the stubborn will of humanity."
"In the past five months, we have established the headquarters of the Pacific Rescue Base on the high seas. The Chinese government has established a rescue organization and joined the International Allied Forces. The world is sending a large number of rescue personnel to all parts of the world, no matter how difficult you are, Don't give up hope of being alive ... "
"Today is the first day of 2013. So far, the signal transmission towers throughout the country have been repaired at the cost of life for the military, and were separated at 00:00 on January 1, 2013. The signal network was initially confirmed. , Covering most of the country. "
"If you hear this broadcast, please tell each other, avoid the tide of infected people going south, prepare for subsistence and cold protection supplies, drugs, and enter the northern provinces and cities, especially the southeast coastal provinces and the Central Plains region. Rescue teams Searching for survivors in the province ... "
At that moment, everyone cried, and finally, after the fifth month of isolation from the outside world, the first call from a human survivor was heard, and the mood was beyond description.
"Please listen to the survivors of this broadcast telling each other to move closer to your nearest broadcast signal tower and tie a white cloth on the signal tower to show the safety of the surrounding area and a black cloth to show that there are still infected people in the surrounding area. Is not completely secure. "
"Please make a direction mark around the signal tower, leave after proper marking, and look for a hidden point in the area of ​​50 kilometers. When the rescue team arrives, they will search and rescue within 50 kilometers centered on the signal tower ..."
"If you are safe now, please help all the uninfected survivors as much as possible, encourage each other, and live strong. If you are using weapons to deal with your surviving compatriots, use the opportunity of disaster to and kill, please take back Your hand, save everyone in need. This is not the end, but a test for China, for humanity, for the entire planet. "
"Please don't give up hope, and keep in mind the morals and love we were born with. The people of the whole country are united and united to help each other. Where you stand is China. As long as you don't give up, the country will never give up on you."
"The follow-up search requires your patience. Our principle and position is not to give up everyone who survives. This message is sent every half an hour. Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year," Liu Yan whispered, "Uncle Meng."
