Chapter 27 Treating the Wounds and Stabilizing the Water Supply
After returning to the farm, Nanxing began to empty the elderly room.
But there weren't many things at first, just bed cabinets and the like.
The bed is a wooden bed and the cabinets are also made of wood. Nanxing temporarily moved them to the living room.
When she find an ax or something, she can chop them up and use them to strengthen the house.
All the hundreds of kilograms of collected soil were dumped into the room, making it more than ten centimeters thick.
Nanxing dragged her sore body and carved a walkway in the middle of the dirt.
Then she threw herself on the sofa. She was tired and hungry now, and felt that no one in her body belonged to her.
Her physical strength is still too low.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west. Nanxing lit the fire barrel and lantern in the living room, and she was going to make dinner.
After adding a little more water to the water purifier, Nanxing turned on the flashlight and shined a light on the water in the bottle below. It was quite clear.
Ready to use.
Boiling the water in a small pot, Nanxing manually cooled it down and poured it back and forth between two containers. Soon the temperature dropped and turned into warm water.
Mix the flour with water and let it ferment naturally.
Nanxing specially mixed a little more noodles and saved them to be heated up and eaten tomorrow morning.
There is little food and water in Serena's space. They eat a lot and basically finish all the food they have. Alejo and Demar need to go hunting deep in the woods.
There was only some stale and smelly meat left in the space.
Nanxing is not going to waste this meat. Although it cannot be eaten, it does not mean that it has no other uses.
Mix it with rotten leaves, dig a hole and let them rot and ferment to make fertilizer.
She don't know if there is animal fertilizer in the forest, she hope she can pick up some.
She poops every day, and human fertilizer will not be wasted. She will pile it all together, add some plant ash or something, and slowly let it become fertilizer naturally.
She don't know much about fertilizer, so she can only explore it bit by bit.
There is still one year left.
She was lying peacefully on the sofa. There was actually a muscle and bone patch in the medical kit, but the weird thing was that she was allergic to it.
She don't know if it counts as an allergy, but her skin will become red and itchy after she peel it off.
So now Nan Xing can only use Huoluo Oil to pinch herself to soothe the meridians all over her body.
Otherwise tomorrow will be very bad.
After lying down for a while, Nan Xing got up and started treating the wounds on her hands again.
After working all afternoon, the injuries on her hands were getting worse.
After tearing off the bandage on her hand, Nan Xing couldn't help crying out in pain and hissing from her mouth.
Her hands are already worse.
She didn't expect it to get so bad, the cost of lacking some common sense.
The wound was cleaned again and medicine was applied. This time Nanxing remembered to put a dressing on it and then a bandage. The injury was not that serious before, so it was of no use. SHe just used a bandage to isolate the infection.
Nan Xing sighed, ate a piece of chocolate to cushion her stomach, then went to the balcony to take a look and poured some water.
The noodles are almost ready to ferment.
The risen dough is rolled into small pieces and stuck in the pot. No oil or yeast is used, but it tastes pretty good.
Only about half of the flour was used in this meal.
Nan Xing has no food left.
Gotta go out and explore tomorrow.
Her targets were the Deadwind Cannery and the Eagle's Nest Quarry.
The main reason for going to the Eagle's Nest Quarry was to strengthen the house and farm. She only had a hammer, but no nails, axes or other tool materials.
Therefore, she plan to try her luck in these two places first.
Even though these two places have already been visited, according to Serena's character, they probably won't take any nails.
While Nan Xing was eating, she was thinking about her next plan.
After eating, Nan Xing tidied up the downstairs a little, then went upstairs, changing a diaper along the way.
It's too awful.
There are no sanitary napkins to change.
Before going to bed, she used active oil to massage her limbs and body. She still had a tough battle to fight tomorrow.
...
The twelfth day of the game.
Because there was no entertainment at night, Nanxing went to bed very early and went to bed before nine o'clock, so she got up early.
When she got up, she glanced at the time. It was just past five in the morning, almost six.
The sky is bright.
Nan Xing opened the corner of the curtain and saw a familiar zombie.
Thirteen of them in total, wandering around the farm.
Nanxing didn't rush to deal with them. She washed her face and brushed her teeth first, and ate the leftover cake from yesterday.
Then she picked up Tai Chi and Baduanjin, which she had not practiced for a long time.
This is the only fitness method she knows.
After playing around slowly for two times, Nan Xing opened the window, took out the compound bow, aimed at the nearby zombies, and shot them one by one.
She is becoming more and more skilled at dealing with zombies.
Go downstairs, come to the box wall, climb up the box wall, and lure other zombies over.
Shoot, collect arrows, loot.
Today's zombies gave her a little surprise. Nan Xing actually took out two vacuum-packed snack jerky items from their pockets.
Finger-width jerky.
Nanxing was still very satisfied.
Without rest, Nanxing went to the forest carrying a hoe, bow, arrows and bucket.
She was going to collect water.
There was a layer of mist floating in the forest in the early morning, and it was full of water vapor.
This gave Nan Xing a sense of expectation. The large container she used specially that day might give her a surprise.
"Roar——"
The roar of zombies came from the forest, which made Nanxing alert.
Under normal circumstances, zombies will not make such sounds.
Unless...
Nanxing's face darkened, hoping it wasn't what she thought.
Carefully walking towards the forest, she did not immediately go to the water source, but first observed nearby.
There are no other creatures except zombies.
As soon as Nan Xing got closer, two zombies came towards her direction.
It's the smell of blood on her body.
Without hesitation, Nan Xing immediately drew her bow and arrow and shot a zombie first.
Then she picked up the hoe and rushed towards the zombies.
Wielding the hoe, Nan Xing's face looked a little ferocious, and she hoeed viciously on the zombie's forehead.
"Crack——"
is the sound of broken bones.
The zombie knelt down on the ground. Nan Xing chirped again and again until his head was smashed to pieces.
"Huh-" She wiped the sweat from her forehead.
So tired.
"It's so scary." She couldn't help but sigh. The zombies she encountered recently were getting more and more scary.
Blue-grey skin, sparse hair, a lot of flesh on his face and neck, and insects writhing on his body.
Alas.
Nan Xing didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly carried the bucket to collect all the water in the pothole.
It lived up to her expectations, with more than a liter of water in each pothole.
The water vapor content in the forest is quite high. If she makes more holes, she will have a stable water source in the future.
Nanxing happily returned to the farm with the bucket, putting the strange situation in the forest behind her for the time being.
She wasn't too panicked. If anything happened, the animals would be the first to notice it.
While she was getting water, the squirrel was still poking its head in the tree.
