Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

The small windmill whistled.

The sunlight value above its head jumps approximately once every minute, decreasing by 1 point each time.

"So, there are 100 minutes in total... which is more than an hour."

After seeing the fog dissipate, the first thing Xiao Jian did was to turn around and run to the door of the old house. He wanted to see if the door of the old house could be opened.

It is a pity that no matter how hard the windmill blows the wind, the fog on this side of the old house has not moved at all.

"Tsk..."

Xiao Jian used an iron rod to gently stir the small windmill that was spinning rapidly, causing the wind it produced to blow in the direction of the old house...

However, the mist that filled the old house remained motionless. On the contrary, the fog in the direction of the office building with only three floors remaining gradually thickened again.

It seems that it is not an issue with the wind direction.

Xiao Jian let go of the windmill, and Clover finally straightened his body again, blowing the wind in the direction of the office building.

Originally, Xiao Jian was thinking of getting some pots and pans from the old house, but at the end of the day, he had to buy two quilts!

It felt terrible to sleep directly on the dirt floor.

"pity……"

Xiao Jian smacked his lips, picked up an iron rod that was relatively handy, and looked at the office building in the distance with some hesitation.

Although the fog wall behind the office building could be seen directly through the broken glass curtain wall, and what was inside was clearly visible, Xiao Jian was still a little worried.

but……

Xiao Jian turned around and looked at his small courtyard.

There is not much fuel left, but there is still a lot of scrap metal. The only food is rice, and the water is even less.

And even these few remaining supplies almost all come from resource cards.

Now that all the resource cards have been exhausted, I am trapped in this small courtyard with no way to replenish supplies. There is no other way to do it without other opportunities, but now that the opportunity is in front of me, why not seize it?

If nothing else, if you can find a bag of salt, you can save a resource card.

After all, you don’t use much salt as a seasoning, but it’s not enough if you don’t eat it. But if you use a resource card to redeem it, the salt you redeem may not be eaten up for decades.

There is also a more serious problem.

The materials exchanged for resource cards are all of a single type in large quantities, which can easily lead to a simplification of Xiao Jian's recipes.

Although resource cards are not scarce, their uses are vast.

If you can find a bag of salt, some food, or even some fuel, wouldn't it be equivalent to saving several resource cards?

If nothing else, there must be a lot of waste paper in this office building.

Get more waste paper and then you won’t have to waste time and effort splitting bamboo strips when making a fire.

If possible, Xiao Jian would even like to move the glass back... At a time when resources are scarce, it can be said that everything that can be found in an office building is valuable.

Unfortunately, he only had 100 minutes.

Xiao Jian randomly picked a handy iron rod, walked to the original wooden door in the backyard, took a deep breath, and then stepped over...

Unlike before, he walked out smoothly without any obstruction.

The invisible repulsive force before had disappeared without a trace.

It seems that the invisible repulsive force really exists attached to the fog wall.

There is a gravel path outside the wooden door of the backyard. Because no one has passed it for too long, the weeds on both sides of the path have spread their branches and leaves wantonly, so much that the grass blades have almost submerged the road.

A few steps further, both the gravel road and the weeds stopped abruptly and suddenly turned into a very new paved road.

It's also a two-way eight-lane kind.

Xiao Jian stood on the dividing line and lowered his head. The completely different materials and colors on the left and right gave people the illusion that the texture was wrong.

If you record this and post it online, there will definitely be comments from netizens about the special effects, or that Earth Online has a bug.

"..."

Xiao Jian didn't waste any more time here. He just took a look to confirm that there was no danger, and then stepped onto the asphalt road.

The three-story office building was placed on the sidewalk not far ahead.

Yes, the word "display" is very appropriate.

Because it was not "right", a part of the wall protruded from the curb stone, probably several meters long.

This creates a gap with the road surface that is as high as the curb stone.

Xiao Jian observed through this gap and found that the cut below was smooth and neat. Even if he could cut butter with a knife, he would not be able to make such a neat edge.

This office building was placed haphazardly on the sidewalk as if it were not a solid cement building, but a large cut yam.

Xiao Jian walked around the "big yam" for a while, and then got in after making sure there was no danger.

"Click..."

"Click..."

Underfoot, fragments of the glass curtain wall were spread on the ground, making a sharp rustling sound when stepped on.

Occasionally, small pieces of glass will be trampled into smaller pieces, and the sound they make when they break will be reflected back and forth in the empty building, making the echo strange.

There are overturned tables and chairs everywhere, and scattered documents everywhere...

The decorative materials on the wall were torn in large areas, and no piece of the plaster ceiling was hanging where it should be. Only the deformed light steel keels were still hanging on the ceiling.

This "big yam slice" seemed to have experienced some kind of huge shock.

Maybe an earthquake?

Maybe some giant took it in his hand and shook it?

Who knows.

After Xiao Jian quickly checked the "first floor", he found the fire escape and climbed to the "second floor".

By the way, the number in the stairwell is 23, which means that the original "first floor" should be the 23rd floor of a certain office building.

After arriving on the "second floor", which is actually the 24th floor, Xiao Jian found that the place was still in a mess.

It's just that unlike the downstairs, which is mostly an office area, this floor is divided into many small rooms.

The decoration styles of these small rooms vary greatly, but the same thing is that these small rooms are only half decorated...

...the half that the camera can capture.

Is this an internet celebrity company?

Xiao Jian frowned and retreated, then climbed to the "third floor" again.

There is no roof on this floor, and the fractures above all the columns and curtain walls are extremely smooth, which is the same as what Xiao Jian observed on the "first floor".

Compared to the two floors downstairs, the third floor had fewer resources. Almost everything that could be moved was missing. There was only a utility room with a locked door that might contain something.

After quickly browsing the three floors, Xiao Jian counted the supplies on these floors.

The first floor is mainly filled with tables, chairs, benches, and various papers. Although there are a few computers, their cases are all deflated, and the parts inside are so broken that they make a rattling sound...

E-waste+n.

So apart from the fuel, there are only a few modular sofas on the first floor that look good.

If you have enough time and energy, you must give priority to moving back. After all, sleeping on the sofa is much more comfortable than sleeping on the floor.

As for the second floor, there are many complete computers preserved, especially some game anchors' computers with very good configurations.

Although most of them were turned into electronic waste during the shock, if you pick and choose, you can always save one that can be used.

But compared to fuel, computer accessories obviously have a lower priority.

After all, I don’t even have electricity, so I’m afraid it’s just wishful thinking to still want to play with the computer.

The most valuable thing on this level is actually the clothes.

Although most of them are women's clothing made of rare materials, they are all cloth after all! Even if it is cut into pieces and stuffed into a bag, it can be used as a quilt.

Next are those cameras.

If the power problem is solved in the future, it will be useful to install a monitoring system or something.

Xiao Jian’s biggest achievement so far is actually three fire axes.

This thing is strong and durable when used as a tool, and full of lethality when used as a weapon. It is one of the most accessible and best-used cold weapons in modern society.

However, Xiao Jian was not in a hurry to transport these resources back first. Instead, he took a fire ax and split open the locked utility room on the third floor.

This utility room is not big. The storage shelves inside have fallen to the ground, and all kinds of sundries are scattered around in a mess.

There are many old and new mops, brooms, dustpans, plastic buckets, etc. scattered outside.

Further inside, there were messy paper documents. Xiao Jian flipped through them and found a lot of various ledgers, annual inspection reports and other fuel.

Going further inside, Xiao Jian found a tool box, which contained a hand drill and various drill bits, various types of screwdrivers, pliers, adjustable wrenches, wire cutters, electrical tape, etc., and even a pack of saw blades!

Seeing these tools, Xiao Jian couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

There are still some rags in the utility room, such as old network cables, half-bundles of wires, transformers for some unknown electrical appliances, etc.

Xiao Jian quickly took inventory of all the resources. Among them, the fire ax, tool box, plastic bucket and the assembled storage rack in the utility room were more valuable.

Next is the sofa on the first floor.

Then there are the clothes on the second floor.

Then there are the ubiquitous waste papers and various wooden desks and so on.

Finally, there are high-end computers and those cameras.

After planning the sequence, Xiao Jian took action immediately.

First, I dismantled the storage racks, then bundled them with old network cables and packed them up. I moved the fire ax and all valuable things back on the third floor at once.

Then there are the sectional sofas.

This thing looks big but is not that heavy. Xiao Jian only rested for a while when he moved the largest three-seater.

For clothing, the easiest thing is to bundle old network cables into big bags and move all the fabrics back in one trip.

The final work of collecting fuel is the most time-consuming part. After all, many wooden desks need to be split before they can be transported away, which invisibly increases the workload.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the fog started to show signs of spreading forward, Xiao Jian finally gave up some fuel and moved back the two computers, two monitors and all the cameras he had picked out.

The wall of fog slowly advanced, gradually engulfing the office buildings, and the two-way eight-lane highway gradually disappeared into the thick fog.

The figure of the whirring "little windmill" gradually faded, and finally turned into mist and disappeared into the air.

And the fog wall stopped at the original wooden door of the small courtyard... Only the trophies all over the courtyard proved that what just happened was not Xiao Jian's illusion.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Xiao Jian found a clear line of bright red writing in the fuel pile.

"Emergency evacuation notice..."

Xiao Jian stretched out the piece of paper and saw the date - it was the day before yesterday?

"..."
