Chapter 126

"Why are there babies?"

Su Mo's voice clenched his teeth, but he was afraid to disturb the women and children inside, forcing him to suppress his anger and whisper softly.

Chen Shen in the back was also startled and hurriedly said:

"Brother Lu, don't be angry. She was about to give birth when she was wearing more and more clothes. With the help of doctor song, the children born in this camp were not directly transmitted..."

Listening to Chen Shen's explanation, Su Mo closed his eyes and was not talking.

After a while, Su Mo turned directly out of the cellar and opened the shed of cellar 3.

Fortunately, there is only one pregnant woman and child who just gave birth in the whole camp.

"What do you usually eat?"

Walking down the hill and looking at the materials on the ground, Su Mo's tone was no longer heavy and his tone was no longer cold.

This time, without Chen Shen's answer, the man sitting on the ground pointed to the materials found nearby and whispered:

"We usually eat bark and grass roots, and then they will give some muddy water. After boiling, we can barely eat half full."

"Then there will be an extra meal in four days, with potatoes, and each person can get half..."

potato?

Su Mo lowered his body and planed the bag on the ground. Sure enough, all the potatoes were in the bag.

Occasionally, a few potatoes that have sprouted but haven't rotted are mixed in.

Su Mo is very familiar with this thing. In fact, when planting vegetables in the culture medium for the first time, Su Mo hesitated whether to plant potatoes, but finally chose to give up.

Once in the earth era, almost everyone knows that planting potatoes in large quantities is full, delicious, and can survive.

So most of the time travel novels, once they encounter insufficient food, almost put forward the following solutions:

Grow potatoes!

Compared with other crops that need to be spoiled, potatoes are cold resistant and full. The starch inside can provide a lot of heat and nutrition. It is indeed the best crop to grow in this environment.

With the yield of thousands of kilograms per mu casually, it seems that everyone feels that this is a divine thing.

But the reason why Su Mo gave up is very direct and real.

Energy is conserved. Such exaggerated yield and nutrition of potatoes are bound to be converted by other energy.

This energy is the land fertility in a broad sense!

In the general barren land, the potatoes planted are small and the yield is low. Without proper fertilizer, the yield will continue to be greatly reduced.

And the lesson of history clearly tells us that if we plant potatoes in large quantities, once we get sick, we have to finish it.

"Cook it, cook all the potatoes, and everyone is talking after a full meal!"

There are about one and a half bags of potatoes on the ground. If they are distributed to all hands, they can basically get about two.

Although some potatoes sprout, it is possible to produce solanine, but in this environment, after hearing sumo's words, everyone's face does not have a trace of concern.

The sky shaking cheers rose from the center of the camp, and everyone did not act immediately. Instead, the grateful collective bent down and bowed before starting to rise and perform their duties.

Those who look for pots look for pots, those who make fires make fires, and a group of people go to places where no one is, and dig back handfuls of slightly clean snowflakes.

Every refugee passing by from sumo had the joy of surviving the disaster and the joy of having a big meal soon on his face.

Two potatoes for one person

"So this is the simple happiness of ordinary people in the end of the world?"

Looking at these people, sumo suddenly understood why even several major disasters on earth have failed to exterminate human beings since ancient times.

"Maybe I'm a decisive person, but I'm... Definitely not a cold-blooded person, at least not now!"

Su Mo stood quietly in the middle of the camp.

Looking at the busy people around, for an instant, sumo even had the idea of pulling all these people back to the base to live and set up a small camp.

People are always lonely.

Even with the company of Oreo and sparks, half a month later, after returning to collective life, a sense of collectivity that had disappeared came again.

This feeling is unclear.

Even looking at the smiling faces of the same kind, Su Mo couldn't stop wanting to smile.

"But... My current camp doesn't solve the food problem at all, and I don't have enough trusted people to manage these people. Once they rebel, I have no way to resist!"

Silently looking at his own eschatological laws, Su Mo's heart, which had just warmed up, gradually returned to calm.

Anger can make people lose their senses.

Excited, the same will happen!

No stranger except his family can step within three kilometers of the shelter until he knows the character and work style of the other party.

Otherwise, it can only be the enemy!

Standing in the corner, Su Mo, who was in a meditative state, was like a sculpture, almost carving the four people "strangers are not allowed" on his face.

Of course, no one will disturb me at this time.

The pregnant woman in the cellar was also helped out by the crowd at this time. The baby in her arms seemed to feel the cold outside and screamed.

All the men spontaneously formed a circle to protect the pregnant woman in the middle and came to the center of the camp.

The smell of salt volatilizing in the water, the round potatoes and the vigorous firewood below all made pregnant women curious.

On his dark face, a pair of eyes full of dead silence also recovered a trace of expression at this time.

Then she saw Su Mo standing in the corner, with a trace of expectation on her face.

The firewood is still burning, the water has begun to tumble, and the potatoes in the water fluctuate up and down like a floating boat.

All the refugees seemed to be possessed, staring at the white gas coming out of the pot and the flames below.

Looking at the babies and the refugees with the desire for survival on their faces, Su Mo slowly came to the pot that had not yet boiled.

With a move of emptiness, the remaining 200ml of Youneng water appeared in Su Mo's hand, lifted the lid of the pot, and watched the Youneng water slowly enter the pot.

A smell different from potatoes scattered out, which surprised all the refugees!

No one can refuse the taste of Youneng water!

As long as it is the first time to smell it, almost everyone can feel the desire for this smell in their genes!

Looking at Su Mo standing in the center with the lid down, these people's faces took a trace of complex emotions.

Accustomed to ugly human nature, anyone who is slightly normal is no less than an angel in their eyes.

"Just give them the reward for helping me collect saltpeter!" Su Mo thought silently in his heart, while walking outside the camp, he said loudly:

"I'll come back later. These potato pregnant women and children will be divided into four. If anyone dares to rob them, he will bear the consequences!"

Accustomed to the food he cooked in the shelter, this kind of potato can't afford any change in sumo's taste and mood.

Everyone looked in awe as Su Mo followed the way he came and dodged away from the gate. His bleak back gradually disappeared in sight.

"He is a good man!"

I don't know who said such a sentence, and others nodded and agreed!

But then, as the smell in the pot became stronger and stronger, everyone looked back and stared at the pot feverishly.

...

"Oreo, do you think I should care about these people or not? Obviously I have the ability to do something..."

Walking on the snow, Oreo ran over affectionately and rubbed sumo's trouser legs with his dog's head.

Hearing sumo speak, Oreo raised his head, his eyes full of curiosity and confusion.

Woof!

Woo!

Then, unable to figure it out, he showed a humanized smile and straightened his chest.

"You mean I'm good?" Looking at the way Oreo nodded, sumo laughed and shook his head again.

"What you said is wrong. I'm not good. If I were good, I would have brought everyone back to earth!"

After stopping, sumo turned his head and looked at the camp with flames still rising behind him.

This flame, in one thought, can become a flame of hope, and can also become a fire of hell that devours everyone.

After a pause, Su Mo's eyes gradually became firm.

Walk all the way back to the burrow where the Land Rover is parked, light a fire, and drive the Land Rover out.

Facing the way to the camp, Su Mo estimated the time and drove slowly.

The noon sun shines on the window, and Oreo lies lazily on the passenger seat, showing a satisfied smile from time to time as the terrain fluctuates.

When driving to the gate of the camp, sumo honked his horn and woke up all the refugees inside who were still eating potatoes.

Seeing the land tigers, these refugees first showed a trace of disbelief on their faces, and then became relieved.

"Bring me all the saltpeter and the treasure chest!" Lying by the window, Su Mo shouted inside.

The refugees who were still eating were ordered to put down their hot potatoes and start working.

Pieces of saltpeter were moved to the front of the car and sucked into the storage space of the Land Rover by sumo.

The treasure chest that killed the Kobold man was also stored in the storage space of the game panel by sumo.

When everything was finished, Su Mo shook his head looking at the refugees with potatoes in their hands and a mask.

"Chen Shen, come here!"

After greeting the young man twice, he leaned over. Before Su Mo spoke, Chen Shen took a timid step and said:

"Brother Lu, are you leaving?"

After a moment of silence, Su Mo didn't answer positively. Instead, he stretched out his hand and touched Chen Shen's head, looking forward faintly:

"Remember, walk along here, 50 kilometers west, there is a human refuge, take all the remaining supplies, go and survive!"

With that, Su Mo slowly released the brake, and the land tiger began to slide forward.

The rubber anti-skid chains took huge tire marks on the ground one after another, and gradually drove forward.

Hearing Chen Shen's words, all the refugees stood at the door with awe but hope in their eyes, watching the land tigers go away.

Until the land tiger disappeared at the end of the horizon and could no longer be seen, these people still stood motionless.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise "woke up" the crowd:

"Look, what's that?"

Other people looked curiously along the direction of this person's fingers, and there seemed to be a mass of colorful things in the haystack at the gate of the camp:

Everyone walked quickly over, and in the haystack, they suddenly found the cotton padded jacket that Su Mo had collected before, stained with blood and had not been cleaned in time.

On the cotton padded jacket, there were two piles of dead face cakes, and a note was sandwiched between the cakes.

Everyone looked at Chen Shen. Chen Shen didn't show timidity. He walked up quickly, picked up the note in the cake, looked at it, and couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore:

"Brother Lu said that joining the shelter in the West was a test for us. If one day, he felt that we had passed the test, he could join his shelter!"

"Brother Lu... He... Is a good man!"

WOW!

Once again, no one proposed, and no one spoke. In the direction of the tiger's departure, all the refugees spontaneously knelt on the ground.

Kowtow! Thank you!
