Chapter 35

The sun was so hot that it felt like a pinprick on the skin. The temperature had climbed to at least 30 degrees.

After Yu Hong was fully armed, he was covered in sweat not long after leaving, but he did not dare to take off his equipment.

In this environment, he had to guard against not only evil shadows, but also people.

So you have to endure the heat.

After walking for more than ten minutes, he quickly arrived at the post office gathering place.

He waited for a while in front of the stone house. While waiting for others to come over, he also carefully looked at the surrounding situation.

The gray-white stone house stands quietly among the dark green woods.

The exterior of the house is covered with mottled and unknown marks, and there are many scratches and scratches on the edges and corners.

There are also some emerald green and gray-brown vines climbing on the roof.

The breeze blows, causing the branches and leaves of these plants to sway slightly.

Yu Hong looked down and suddenly frowned slightly.

There seemed to be some footprints on the ground outside the stone house.

"Yu Hong, are you here so early today?" Jenny's voice came from behind.

"Well, the peak period is coming soon, and trouble is coming again. We have to make reserves in advance. The problem now is how to solve the problem of food." Yu Hong turned around and looked at the other party.

Jenny changed into a close-fitting camouflage uniform. She looked tired and her eyes were bloodshot. It was obvious that she had not rested well.

As soon as she got closer, an unpleasant sour smell wafted from her body. It seemed that she didn't even have time to wipe her body.

"I tried to grow mushrooms, but the ones I grew were not edible at all. They were all bacteria, poisonous bacteria," she sighed.

"What we usually eat should be beef leg mushrooms, right?" Yu Hong looked through Lao Yu's record book in the past few days. Although there is no detailed breeding process in it, there are various difficulties and troubles encountered during cultivation.

This is equivalent to one of Lao Yu's wrong question papers and is of great reference value.

The cow's leg mushroom is a matte mushroom similar to the Coprinus comatus. It is non-toxic. The mature mushroom itself is very large and can be harvested in large quantities once cultivated. It is very suitable for use as food supplement.

The most important thing is that this kind of mushroom does not require light and is very suitable for cultivation in closed and humid environments like theirs.

"Did we not pay attention to the spores of other mushrooms during the cultivation process? After all, it is impossible for miscellaneous bacteria to emerge out of thin air." Yu Hong thought.

"I've paid attention to it, but there's no way to completely prevent it." Jenny shook her head. "I heard that Lao Yu had his own incubator before, specifically for cultivating cow leg mushrooms. If we can get that, we should be able to succeed easily.

.”

"Where is the incubator?"

"Post Office Basement."

The two of them were speechless for a moment.

No one dares to go in the basement of the post office. Once they are infected with the black handprint, facing the evil shadow withered girl who is much stronger than the shadow, even the coalition forces in the town can't hold it back and can only retreat and move away. Needless to say, they

These are ordinary people.

"I also tried cultivating it. I remember that Lao Yu secretly dug soil in some corners of the forest several times before. I suspect that cultivating mushrooms requires designated soil, otherwise it will not be successful." Dr. Xu's voice also sounded tired.

came from the side of the two people.

She changed into a long black T-shirt and jeans, her lips were chapped and her face was pale.

"And I must remind you that when trying to grow mushrooms, you must be aware of the disease mushroom lung."

"Mushroom lung?" Yu Hong seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. He remembered that he had read some information on the Internet before, and this disease was also mentioned in it.

"Yes, during the process of growing mushrooms, once the mushrooms are about to mature, they will silently scatter mushroom spores. Once these fungal spores are inhaled into the lungs, they are likely to cause mushroom lung disease. Specific symptoms

Cough, white phlegm, chest tightness and chest pain, asthma, and sometimes fever, palpitation, nausea, etc." Dr. Xu paused, "Of course, this disease requires long-term inhalation of mushroom spores to cause it. As long as you are careful and pay attention to changing

If you are angry and wear a mask, it won’t be a big problem.”

"No wonder. Old Yu always looks like he's coughing non-stop. Maybe there's something wrong with him." Jenny thought thoughtfully.

"It's possible, but it's useless to talk about it now. Well, the climax is about to begin. The key now is how to prepare food?" Dr. Xu changed the subject.

The three of them immediately looked at each other and said nothing.

For a moment, the breeze blew and the sun shone on the three of them, but they couldn't feel the warmth at all.

Without food, they couldn't survive more than a week.

Luckily for Yu Hong, because of the extremely long-lasting nature of the protein bars, one stick can last for a day. In addition, he and Lao Yu exchanged some food supplements before, so his current food reserve can still last for two weeks.

But Jenny and Dr. Xu are not doing well. Judging from their appearance, they will probably be without food in a few days.

"If we can't figure out the cultivation method, we can only find other food first." Jenny said solemnly. It was obvious that she had thought about it for a long time before coming. "As for other food, I don't need to say more.

Bar?"

"You mean to search other people's homes?" Dr. Xu was the first to react. "Is that possible? They must have taken them all away, right?"

"There must be one under the post office. In addition, I know the caves of several people who died during the high tide. There must be one inside, but the door is not easy to open." Jenny replied.

"Are you going?" Dr. Xu looked at Yu Hong. Ever since she visited Yu Hong's safe house, she felt a hint of admiration for him. She understood that the other person was not a boastful person, but that he was really capable.

It's a pity that Yiyi left too early, otherwise it would have been possible to live a good life with Yu Hong.

"Let's go and have a look." Yu Hong nodded. If he could get some valuable sundries from other people, it would be worth it even if he didn't get food.

Especially the red value detector, he is also a little bit greedy for this thing. If he can get one, after strengthening it, it may be of great use. At least the environmental warning will be no problem.

"Okay, I'll lead the way in a moment, and you guys can follow." Jenny nodded, as if she expected that the two of them would agree.

"By the way, where is Eve? Won't she come out?" Dr. Xu asked suddenly.

"She said she felt a little unwell and was hiding in the bedroom alone and didn't know what she was doing. But she didn't move much and consumed less, so I didn't care about her," Jenny answered.

"Speaking of which, wasn't Eve in the town before? Why did she suddenly come back? Why didn't she move with the town?" Dr. Xu asked curiously.

"I don't know about this." Jenny's face showed a hint of uneasiness, "It seems that she offended someone in the town. I don't know the specific circumstances. But you also know that Eve is very beautiful.

It will attract a lot of people of the opposite sex who like her."

"Yes, sometimes being too beautiful is not a good thing in this era." Dr. Xu sighed in agreement.

Yu Hong walked at the back, wiping off his sweat while listening to the two people talking in front. When he heard about the offending person, his face also showed a thoughtful look.

In the quiet woods, the three people took their tools, left the post office stone house, and walked along a waterway washed out by the rain. After a while, they came to a small raised hill.

There is a rough iron door at the bottom of the hill.

The door is black and painted, with yellow rust exposed where the paint has peeled off on the edges.

Jenny stood in front of the iron door, picked up a thick branch and knocked on the door panel.

clang clang clang.

The iron door made a dull sound.

"This is Elsie's residence. He and his father lived here. One day they went to dig up pyroxene rough stones in a distant place, and then they never came back."

"Elsie, a very shy young man. He and his father are both good people. He even helped me chop wood." Dr. Xu also thought of this man, with a melancholy look in his eyes. "There are always good people in this world."

life."

"It doesn't matter whether you are a good person or not. Whether you live long or not only depends on whether you are careful enough or not." Yu Hong added.

"Yes." Doctor Xu nodded.

The three of them stopped talking and asked Yu Hong to step forward, take the chisel he had brought before, and smash the door.

Dang Dang Dang!

The iron door was extremely rusty, and the keyhole was broken off a few times.

Yu Hong opened the door and immediately saw a stream of dust visible to the naked eye pouring out of it.

A mixture of musty and stinky smells poured into the nostrils of the three of them.

"What is so smelly!?" Jenny quickly hid aside, covering her nose, her face twisted.

"It's a corpse." Dr. Xu covered his nose and looked into the hole with squinted eyes.

In the small hole, a gray-yellow corpse that had rotted into skin and bones was lying quietly on the ground, surrounded by tiny insects.

The body was wearing shabby long-sleeved trousers, gray and white in color, with a circle of gauze tied around its arms, and black-rimmed glasses on its head.

He turned his face sideways, with only two eye sockets left after being eaten away, staring straight at the door, as if he was still longing to leave even before he died.

"It's Elsie. I bandaged him with this gauze. I didn't expect him to come back." Doctor Xu recognized the identity of the corpse, and a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"It's a pity he's a nice guy"

"Don't be regretful, we don't have much time." Yu Hong stepped out from the side, stepped over the body, and entered the cave while holding his breath.

After rummaging around, he quickly found two bags of dried meat, a bag of dried mushrooms and a bag of half-eaten dried wild vegetables.

"The food is still there, he didn't starve to death."

He walked to the fire in the corner, picked up the aluminum kettle lying crookedly on the fire, and shook it. There was still half a kettle of water in it.
