Endless Road of Corpse - C15

“There’s meat to eat?!” I cheered.

However, San Mao was laughing out loud, he shook his head and said: “With such a small amount of meat, how much will the twelve of us get?” He turned around and pointed at Wang Dali behind him and said, “We have a pigeon breeding expert here. He said that pigeons are very easy to raise, and he can even go out on his own to find food. We had to climb more than 20 floors to catch the pigeons, and the Dr Lee was almost bitten by the Zombie! ”

“Really?” I said incredulously as I took the wheelbarrow from him.

“Haha …” Wang Da rubbed his hands and said with a bashful smile, “Let me give it a try. I raised it when I was in the countryside. Our village has a national poverty alleviation plan, which is to teach everyone how to raise pigeons.”

Now, everyone was not in a hurry to eat dinner, and everyone, including Liu Guojun, gathered around. It’s been a long time since we’ve had meat. Ever since the electricity went off in a large area, all of the frozen meat in the freezer has been decaying in a short period of time, and there’s no place in the city to capture animals. Plus, there’s also the easiest place to catch prey on to — all kinds of waters, because there’s too many Zombie lurking and it’s impossible to get close to them. In the past two months, we have only eaten one wild dog that San Mao beat to death with a rod.

“This wild pigeon can also go out and find food before flying back?” Uncle Feng rummaged through the boxes and found a wooden frame that had not been completely dismantled.

“Yes, it’s to first eliminate magnetism.” He untied the rope from the pigeon’s leg and carefully placed it into the frame. Then, he quickly closed the lid.

“Magnetization? How do I demagnetize? ” Everyone was anxious to know.

“The teacher who guided our breeding technique said that the pigeons were navigated by a geomagnetic field, so the first step to taming the pigeons was to demagnetize them with a magnet, so that they would forget where their original nests were … Uncle Feng, use your old semiconductor for me. ”

“Oh …” Uncle Feng immediately ran into the house. After a while, he ran out with a dilapidated ‘Dexen’ radio in his hand.

“Luckily you have this kind of old radio. The digital ones now don’t have magnets in them.” He took the radio and flipped it up and down for a while.

“It’s a good thing you’re an electrical repairman, otherwise we wouldn’t understand …” Uncle Feng muttered.

“Am I going to break it?” He looked at Uncle Feng vigorously and said.

“Go on, go on, go on. There’s no hope of listening to him now anyway.” Uncle Feng waved his hand and said indifferently.

He raised the radio high above his head and swung it down so hard that the plastic cracked as the radio crashed to the floor.

He vigorously picked up the largest piece, fiddled with it with both hands for a moment, and then retrieved a circular magnet from within.

“Bring me a metal plate or something. It’s not too big. As long as it can be used to feed pigeons, it must be iron.” He said it again.

“Ai!” “Yes!” Auntie Chen answered loudly as she quickly took out an enamel plate from the house.

He vigorously sucked the magnets into the wooden frame of the pigeon, “Alright, after eight days, remove the magnets. After seven days, you can open the lid and let them fly out. Just put them on the rooftop now, feed them every day and clean the cages every few days …”

“Uncle Dazhi, how long will it take for them to give birth to little pigeons?” Little Casey stared at the pigeons and asked.

Oh, pigeons can’t give birth to small pigeons, they can only lay an egg, a pair of pigeons can give birth eight times a year, each time no more than two eggs. After the pigeons hatch, they can grow in a month, and then they can reproduce. He patted Little Casey’s face excitedly and said.

“Wow …” Not only Little Casey, even we were affected by the beautiful scene that was painstakingly portrayed, we didn’t think that this small pair of pigeons could have such a huge effect. If it could really be said with force, then this pair of pigeons would become our long-term meat, not only allowing us to obtain a stable source of meat, we would also have an additional item that we could trade with others for. Yang Yufan and Lin Hao who were carrying the wooden frames to the roof, couldn’t help but become even more cautious. They were afraid that something might happen if they were careless.

“How is it? Do you want to do it? ” After San Mao finished the porridge in the bowl, he used boiling water to refill it, and slowly sipped on the oil that was floating above the bowl.

I didn’t go to the field today, so I only received half of San Mao’s food, which I had already finished all of it in one go. At this time, I was silently sitting there, thinking about the information San Mao and the others received this morning.

San Mao said that when they were catching pigeons today, they climbed onto the roof of a twenty plus storey building. There, they saw a roof garden a few blocks away on a dozen storey roof near the center of the city.

“I see clearly, there are cucumbers, pumpkins, tomatoes, eggplants… “There are many types of fruits, and they are all overgrown. Those string of beans are all hanging there …” Xu Yang said as he clicked his tongue.

“It’s too dangerous to go downtown.” Lv lit up a cigarette, and the red butt of the cigarette lit up in front of his eyes.

In my heart, I agree with Lv, we are currently in a Qianchao City industrial zone, and before the Zombie crisis could fully erupt, the world economy had already collapsed due to a small number of people controlling it. The workers who were originally gathered here all scattered because of the lack of orders, leaving only a few behind to look at the factories like the Uncle Feng. As a result, there were very few people here, and a lot less Zombie. Right now, the city area is simply the Zombie Kingdom, we just came out from there and worked so hard, we don’t want to be trapped there anymore.

“But there are fresh vegetables …” Yang Yufan said in an exaggerated tone, making people feel like he was about to drool. Of course, to someone who had been imprisoned at home for a few months and ate convenient food, their yearning for fresh vegetables was understandable.

“From what I see, we should make this trip …” Dr Lee, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke out.

“Lee Jin! How can a man interrupt a woman like that? ” Liu Guojun suddenly bellowed.

“Tsk, you’re also a man?” San Mao said in disdain.

Liu Guojun’s expression immediately changed greatly, and he did not continue the conversation. In the end, he snorted hatefully, and walked up the stairs with a wave of his hand.

Seeing that, the Dr Lee stood up and followed him.

“Don’t be in such a rush to leave, Dr Lee, tell us why we have to make this trip.” San Mao said as he waved towards Dr Lee.

“Because we are severely lacking in vitamins and protein, we all have oral ulcers, constipation and other symptoms, followed by night blindness, sepsis, severe malnutrition, and so on… I think it would be best to make this trip. There are some fresh vegetables that at least avoid dangerous sepsis. ” The Dr Lee hurriedly said and went upstairs. Immediately after, we heard Liu Guojun’s angry curses coming from upstairs.

We all secretly shook our heads, feeling that the Dr Lee was not worthy in our hearts. With her work skills, she should have obtained a very high status in our team, we didn’t want her to leave the field, but she said that we couldn’t let both of them eat for free.

“Then let’s go.” San Mao curled his lips and said, then looked at Lv and me as if asking for something. Both of us nodded, and thus, the matter was settled.
