While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp
Chapter 98 A Bountiful Little Farm
Another week passed, and the acid rain finally ended, and the floodwaters receded.
The outside world has become a wasteland.
The soil was black, and there were obvious signs of corrosion in the areas that had been soaked in water.
Luo Ning opened the window. Below was pitch-black mud, and the sky was frighteningly bright, with blinding sunlight shining through the clouds onto the ground.
After staring outside for a while, my eyes started to feel strained.
It wasn't the bright sunshine of before the apocalypse; the sky was still gray, and the blinding sunlight shone down like rays.
The whole world was both bright and oppressive.
Luo Ning knew that the temperature would rise quickly, and several more months of extreme heat were to come.
Not a drop of rain will fall.
"Dinner's ready. We still need to go to the base in a bit." Xiao Jie brought out the soup.
He was saddened to see that Luo Ning had no reaction after his bold behavior on the terrace a few days ago.
But he could only pretend he knew nothing, because he was afraid that his actions would alienate her.
Luo Ning turned around and opened all the windows. The weather was getting hot and humid, and she couldn't keep the doors closed every day like before.
During this period, she took on some odd jobs at the base, but most of her income still came from Ji Zhoubai.
They send supplies to the base every other day, and these supplies are enough to cover their daily expenses.
It was too hot, so Luo Ning changed back into light loungewear, her fair skin shining brightly in Xiao Jie's eyes.
Although he was no longer as nervous as he had been at the beginning after spending this time together, he still couldn't look directly at her exposed skin.
Luo Ning picked up her bowl and started eating. Because Xiao Jie often nagged her, she no longer ate as hastily as she had when she was first reborn, nor did she eat too much.
Xiao Jie always controlled the amount of food he cooked very well, just enough to make her feel about 70% full, and then she would have some snacks and fruit.
After finishing her meal, Luo Ning went up to the terrace.
Xiao Jie has tidied up the terrace. New potatoes and sweet potatoes have been planted, and a small plot of land has been cleared to plant corn for Luo Ning to eat later.
Most importantly, Luo Ning asked Xiao Jie to get two rice planting boxes. She had never seen anyone grow rice on a terrace before, and she didn't know if it would be successful.
If she succeeds, then she'll have a source of rice.
There are also various vegetables; some of the vegetables that Luo Ning planted after her rebirth are already ready to eat.
Later, more and more were planted, some big and some small, but in any case, it ensured that Luo Ning could eat vegetables he grew himself at any time.
Her terrace is no longer as desolate as it was when she was first reborn; now it's full of life, with tender green seedlings swaying in the wind.
There are also various poultry in Luoning. The chicks, ducks and geese brought back from the farm have grown up. The chickens and ducks have started to lay eggs one after another, while the geese may have to wait a while longer.
Luo Ning's family has no shortage of eggs these days.
Oh, and there's Big Black. Luo Ning saw the eggs twice; it was always sitting in the nest.
Later, she fell ill and no one paid attention to her. Xiao Jie was busy taking care of her and didn't come up to check on her. By the time they found out, there were already chicks chirping in the chicken coop.
Big Black actually hatched a brood of chicks, much to Luo Ning's delight; there were a total of twenty-seven chicks.
She was happy, but looking at the chickens, ducks, and geese that had grown up, she now had nearly two hundred poultry.
Luo Ning's chicken coop is only about 25 square meters. With so many chickens, ducks and geese all crammed together, she's afraid they'll fight.
Originally, Luo Ning thought a 200-square-meter terrace would be enough, but now she feels it's far from sufficient; even 2000 square meters might not be enough.
But she could only say these words to herself, because Xiao Jieqian did most of the work on the terrace.
She would do something when she felt like it, like collecting eggs or picking some fruits and vegetables.
She didn't like doing the manual labor, but she loved reaping the rewards of her labor.
Xiao Jie doesn't like using pesticides, while Luo Ning, when she sees suitable fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden, likes to pick them and put them in her mouth.
Xiao Jie manually pulled out all the weeds and insects in the field, bit by bit. He even guarded the field every day, catching and throwing the insects into the chicken coop whenever he saw them.
My gaze shifted to the top of the chicken coop, where she kept quails and pigeons.
When it comes to laying eggs, quails lay more. Luo Ning collects fifty or sixty quail eggs every day. She's already tired of eating all kinds of eggs.
Luo Ning stored the various eggs he couldn't finish in his space for himself to eat.
When buying groceries for Ji Zhoubai and the others, she had Xiao Jie use eggs from his old storage space for the ones that required them.
Her chickens are genuine free-range chickens, and their eggs are also free-range eggs. They are not fed any feed; they only eat corn and rice.
Luo Ning couldn't bear to sell it.
Luo Ning had already collected a large basketful of various eggs. Xiao Jie frequently changed the fermentation bed, keeping the place clean and odor-free.
Luo Ning put the egg into his spatial storage, squatted by the fish pond, and with a wave of his hand, a school of fish swam up.
Grabbing a handful of boiled corn and tossing it down, the plump, large fish swarmed forward, vying for it.
Luo Ning just watched them eat quietly.
"Don't squat like that, it'll restrict your blood flow." Xiao Jie walked over to her. "Didn't we bring you a chair over there? Why don't you sit down and watch?"
Luo Ning stood up and jumped a couple of times. "I'm not old, I can squat for a while and it'll be fine." After saying that, Luo Ning slipped away.
She's genuinely afraid of Xiao Jie now; he's just too talkative.
Even 123 doesn't like to play with him anymore; he talks too much.
"Xiao Jie, I want to eat candied apples, the kind that's chilled."
Luo Ning walked to her passion fruit stand. She was simply a planting genius; how could she grow everything so well?
Looking up, you see a dense cluster of passion fruits, golden yellow in color, and you can smell their fragrance as soon as you get close.
I put two passion fruits in a candied apple, refrigerated it for a while, and I don't know how much I can eat.
Xiao Jie walked up behind her and saw her looking up, so he assumed she couldn't reach it.
I was just about to show off and demonstrate my height advantage.
The next second, a green vine plucked the passion fruit he had his eye on before he could.
Luo Ning took the passion fruit, squeezed it open with her hand, and then poured the whole piece of fruit into her mouth.
He gave Xiao Jie a thumbs up, "It's perfectly cooked, very delicious, you should try it."
Xiao Jie was taken aback, then smiled helplessly, picked one himself, and imitated her by putting it into his mouth.
It's very sweet, with the aroma of passion fruit; it's really delicious.
"Pick a couple more later and put them in the candied apples; they'll definitely taste delicious."
Luo Ning ate several more, unable to stop. She regretted not eating so much rice earlier and saving room for fruit.
She has so much fruit on her terrace that she can't possibly eat it all right now, and the grapes next to it are ripe too.
Strawberries and blueberries will also be available soon.
