Chapter 206 Doomsday Zombies 4
Chapter 206 Doomsday Zombies 4
The ancients often said that auspicious snow meant a good harvest, but after these few snowfalls, all the seedlings in the fields were frozen to death, and only a few survived. After the spring, drought came, so it is clear that the harvest in May will not be particularly good.
There was land in front of and behind Su Tong's house. When no one was around, he reclaimed the land and planted some potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and the like. Although there wasn't much, it was enough for him to eat.
This year was not a good one for everyone, especially with the zombie incident. Many people lost their relatives and friends, and there was chaos abroad, so many companies went bankrupt and most employees lost their jobs and went home.
Now we are facing the problem of reduced land production. Even if we carry out timely replanting, the weather is dry and the ground is parched, so few of the seeds planted survive. As a result, there is very little food during the harvest season.
You can go to the big market in the village again, but this time you can go there with peace of mind because there are many new faces in the village. Some of them have returned from other places, and some even moved to the city a few years ago. As the situation became worse, they moved back to the village with their whole family.
Although Su Tong is from another place, when he wears a mask, no one notices him at all. In fact, there are still many good things here. Even if the yield in the land has decreased, there are still many good things in the sea. They are very close to the sea and can reach the beach in an hour by bike. However, Su Tong had not been there before because he was busy.
"I heard that the seaside is not peaceful right now. A few zombies floated over there and polluted the surrounding sea area."
"Not only that, I heard that some people sneaked in here secretly."
"Alas, we are all poor people. I heard from my son that many countries abroad have simply perished. We are not so bad here. Although we are a little poor, at least we haven't fallen into chaos yet."
"There will definitely not be any chaos here, but I heard that the situation in the southern cities is not optimistic. There were several heavy snowfalls in the winter, and many people were caught off guard and froze to death."
"What on earth is God thinking? There is no peace in life. Everything is a mess. It's really frustrating."
"Okay, stop yelling here. Our lives are at least much better than before. The grain production in the south has dropped, but we still have some harvest here. At least we can fill our stomachs."
"Yes, my relatives in the south are not doing well either. I asked someone to send some food over there, but I don't know if they can survive."
"We can only rely on God's will. Nowadays, there is unrest everywhere. My son is unemployed. Now my family stays at home, quarreling all day long over food and drink. I don't know when it will end."
"You should be careful when you go to the beach recently. Those people sneaked to the beach and lived in the corners. They robbed people when they were not paying attention. Many people have been unlucky."
"I know about this, but we've increased patrols. It shouldn't be long before we're safe. These damn bastards should all be chased away."

Su Tong sat in the corner and ordered a bowl of soy milk and two fried dough sticks, eating them slowly. I have to say that the gathering place of the aunties at the entrance of the village is indeed the CBD center, where you can hear a lot of unexpected gossip.
The prices of soy milk and fried dough sticks have also increased. In the past, these two items only cost 5 yuan at most, but guess how much they cost now. They are already 10 yuan, which means they have increased by two times.
It was also the first time that Su Tong was shocked by the prices. Fortunately, he didn't have much money in his hands. Ask yourself about the loans he had taken out before?
Alas, some of these companies were really unlucky. They hadn't been running for a few days when their bosses went public, or even went bankrupt. Even if there were some companies that survived by chance, they all went bankrupt due to various reasons, and there was not even a loan collector.
Su Tong had done some careful research before he applied for loans. He specifically chose those irregular loan companies that were immediately reviewed and approved. He was worried that if everything was normal, he would still have to repay the loans. But God was on his side. Those people died, and even if they were not dead, they would have packed up their things and returned to their hometowns, so they did not have to repay the loans.
Even if the world is at peace and everything returns to normal, can those people come back? Even if they come back, can they still find the previous information?
Su Tong's house was originally mortgaged for loan sharking, but the property certificate is still in his hands. Now that those people are gone, his house is still his, hehe...
Su Tong found a remote place where there happened to be a cell phone signal. He also saw the messages sent to him by his former classmates. Many people asked themselves why they knew that the zombies were coming. Was there something above them?
It seems that these girls have really never read any doomsday rebirth novels. Whenever it happens to them, they will highly doubt whether that person has been reborn, otherwise how could he know so many things, or whether the other person has some cheating skills?
Su Tong could only make up an excuse, saying that he did know about this from certain channels, and then found a corner and hid quietly, waiting to go back after the world was at peace. Anyway, they were all senior students, so they would find an opportunity to contact the school to ask for their diplomas.
In fact, the current situation is not particularly good. It can only ensure that no one starves to death and that no major chaos occurs. However, everyone is suppressing their emotions, and they may explode one day.
As the weather became increasingly dry, even though they were close to the sea, the harvest from the fields was still very poor. Even the sweet potatoes and potatoes they planted were particularly poor.
Su Tong stood in the distance, looking at the endless sea, "It would be great if sea water could be turned into fresh water, so that crops can thrive."
The seaside is not particularly peaceful either. In addition to the people who have stowed away, there are even mutated fish on the seabed. I don’t know if those fish are edible.
Su Tong stayed in his kiln, but later felt unsafe, so he bought a puppy from the market, a real wolfdog.
People nowadays don’t have the energy to keep pets. After all, they don’t have enough food to eat themselves, so how can they have extra food for their pets? So this puppy was very cheap and was exchanged for five kilograms of potatoes.
Yes, as the harvest is getting worse and worse, many places at the market now don’t charge money. Most of them are bartering. For example, if I like something you have and want to exchange it for mine, as to whether it is cost-effective or not, it depends on whether both parties can come to an agreement.
Su Tong exchanged the potatoes and sweet potatoes he grew for a few pieces of tofu, intending to take them back to pickle some fermented tofu. He also exchanged them for some soybeans, so that he could grow some bean sprouts to eat.
However, what surprised Su Tong was that there were many unfamiliar faces in the market. After listening to their accents, he found that most of them were from the South.
