Chapter 25 Return to the farm and collect water

After inserting the key, Nanxing started the car and drove towards the Split Rock Farm.

She needs to reorganize her supplies and farm. With a car, it will be much easier to explore around.

Going to town is no problem.

She also wanted to know what was in Will's key.

There were also sparse zombies wandering on the road, and Nanxing used them to test the car's anti-collision ability.

As expected of a product produced by the military, it easily crushed a zombie.

Except for the high fuel consumption, everything else is considered a doomsday car.

Nan Xing took a look at the fuel gauge and saw that there was still enough to drive about 50 kilometers.

Counting the oil in the farm truck, it was barely enough to last her for a while.

Go to town and collect some gasoline, food and other things, which should be enough.

The distance between the farm and the sanatorium is not that far, and it takes more than an hour to get there by driving at a constant speed from Nanxing.

There were actually a lot of zombies on the road, and Nan Xing also encountered a small group of more than thirty zombies in the middle, which took her a lot of effort.

When we drove to the farm, the car's gasoline was half empty.

The car stopped outside the fence of the farm, and Nan Xing took out his telescope and looked inside.

No one has visited the farm since she left, and it remains the same.

This made Nanxing breathe a sigh of relief.

Zombies are not scary, people are scary.

Very troublesome.

Knocked on the fence to attract all the zombies wandering around the farm.

She climbed onto the roof of the car, used her sore arms to draw the bow and arrows stained with the blood of the zombies, and shot them one by one.

Nan Xing's accurate avatar is getting better and better, of course it may be because of the close distance.

Once she settles down, she plans to get some target practice on the farm.

Compared with guns, silent bows and arrows are the most powerful weapon against zombies.

The gun is too loud. If you can get a silencer, you can still use it.

However, she had seen popular science videos before, and it seemed that special subsonic bullets were needed, otherwise the sound would still be the same.

She had better stick to using bows and arrows. If she made more arrows, the effect would be the same.

After cleaning up the zombies on the farm, Nan Xing opened the fence, drove the car in, and stopped in front of the box wall at the door.

After getting out of the car, she replaced the bow and arrow in her hand with a gun, opened the door with the key, and carefully explored it with the gun in hand.

There are no traces of anyone's life or presence.

There was a thin layer of dust on the table, and the house had a unique smell that no one had lived in for a long time.

Nan Xing continued to search the nearby warehouse and the tool room that she had never visited before, and confirmed that there was no one else in the entire farm except her.

Then she sat on the sofa, rinsed her mouth and face, and prepared to have a late breakfast.

It's now 9:47 in the morning. I'm full, so I don't need to have lunch.

There is still a lot of work waiting for her to do next.

Nan Xing took out the only bottle of mineral water left before, as well as milk and salt soda crackers, shriveled apples, Wang Wang snow cakes, and cut up some sausages and wheel cheese.

The fire barrel was still in the house, so Nanxing lit the fire and grilled sausages and wheel cheese on top of the dagger.

The house is filled with fragrance, and an extremely sumptuous breakfast is ready.

After a satisfying meal, Nanxing felt full of strength.

There is still half of the sausage left, save it for dinner.

Nanxing went to the forest with guns, bows, arrows and tools.

Except for the small half bottle of water left before, there was no drinkable water in her space.

Water must be collected.

The birch sap from before should still be drinkable. She remembered to cover the container with some pieces of paper to prevent dust from falling off.

If it has not been contaminated by zombies, it can still be used.

When we came back to the place where the birch sap was, there was already a lot of water in the container.

In addition to birch sap and water vapor in the air, the humidity in the woods is very high, and a layer of mist will appear in the early morning.

Nan Xing thought of another way to collect them.

However, she didn't have enough plastic film on hand, so she could use condoms first.

Nan Xing pursed her lips and smiled, now she didn't need to worry about the water problem.

There were four unused condoms in her space.

Nan Xing looked around to make sure there was no danger. She first collected the water in a dozen containers and filled a bucket full.

It should be about ten liters.

Because it is mixed with birch sap, these water vines are prepared to be kept for drinking.

She wasn't sure if it could be used to water plants, so she tried not to use it.

After selecting a suitable container, Nanxing recollected the tools scattered in the forest and found the hoe inside.

This was what she originally planned to use for gathering herbs, but now it's perfect for digging holes.

Dig four holes in the ground and place suitable containers in the centers.

Then flatten the condom and cover it on the mouth of the pit, press the surrounding area with soil, and put a small stone on the condom to make it look like an inverted cone.

No matter how much I mark it, she won't know if it's been touched.

In this way, the cold air at night causes the water vapor rising in the pit to condense into water droplets on the condom, and then gather and drip down into the container.

In order to collect more water vapor, Nanxing also put a lot of leaves and grass in the pit.

Such a pit can collect half a liter to a liter of water in one night.

As she finds more plastic wrap, she can dig more holes and collect more water.

Sooner or later you can have the luxury of taking a shower and washing your hair.

The water sources in the wild are too unsafe and may have been contaminated by zombies at some point.

Nan Xing may not even dare to use that water for washing.

Although this method is a bit clumsy, it is safer and more reliable.

"Zhizhi——"

Nan Xing looked up and saw a squirrel watching her movements curiously.

Squirrel.

Are there a lot of fruits in this forest?

If you can still be here in autumn, you can look for its winter food to save yourself some time.

After doing all this, Nanxing was not in a hurry to continue exploring the forest.

The water source was secured, and next she had to plant potatoes.

It only takes two or three months from sowing potatoes to harvesting.

By growing potatoes, she won't have to worry about food.

Although there are only six potatoes left in the space, if you plant them well, you can harvest a lot.

A full year is enough for her to harvest two or three batches.

Nan Xing packed up his things, dug a large basket of pictures in the forest, loaded them on a cart, and temporarily stored them in the space.

She wanted to take it back to plant potatoes, but she didn't know whether the soil on the farm was fertile or not.

But seeing as the plants here are so lush, the soil must be fertile.

"It's gray-black soil. I won't dig black soil, right?" Nan Xing said to himself as he walked towards the farm.

After planting potatoes, she still needs to strengthen the farm and then look for other plants that can be planted on the farm.

Tomatoes are also a good choice, and the planting cycle is also short.
