My apocalyptic heroine has come true

The dazzling blue-purple filaments almost filled the entire field of vision.

Xia Xiaochi was not used to such brightness. She squinted her eyes and saw several elderly people with sallow complexions among the rows of barley grass leaves that were taller than people.

She walked quickly forward and took out the things in her backpack.

It only takes a few words.

Xia Xiaochi successfully traded 10 kilograms of fertilizer from the farmer.

To be precise, it is ammonium nitrate fertilizer.

The nitrogen element in ammonium nitrate is an important nutrient required for plant growth, but in addition to being used to make fertilizer, it can also be used to make bombs.

Ammonium nitrate is mixed with purified sugar and aluminum powder as a combustion aid. The violent oxidation reaction it produces is equivalent to 1.3 times that of TNT.

Making this kind of explosives can save the Ark Shelter a lot of expenses.

The fertilizers obtained from the exchange here are very cheap, and Brother Fang Ming has no shortage of sugar... When these two things are mixed, the cost-effectiveness is maximized.

The farmers were not as wary of Xia Xiaochi as the administrators.

All they had eyes for was the fresh food in Xia Xiaochi's hands, and they were willing to take it back for their wives and children to try.

Fertilizer is not a rare commodity in Shelter No. 2737. There is a large amount of fertilizer here, and no one would notice if 10 kilograms were missing.

So, after hearing Xia Xiaochi's request, they dragged Xia Xiaochi to a blind spot where the surveillance camera was blocked without saying a word, and readily "stole" the things to her.

After getting the last thing he wanted, Xia Xiaochi hurried away.

"Why didn't you ask them to get you some seeds? Didn't you say last time that you wanted to consider planting something in the shelter?" Fang Ming asked, leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed.

Xia Xiaochi moved the cart downstairs in two steps.

Fortunately, she had developed the habit of taking a car with her when she went out because of picking up trash all year round, otherwise she really didn’t know how to get this big bag of fertilizer back.

"The current temperature is not suitable for sowing."

Xia Xiaochi was so tired that she was out of breath. She took two breaths and then said:

"Seeds are usually stored in seed banks. I don't think they can easily take them out... Besides, even if they give us seeds at this stage, we can't plant them. We don't have enough soil or a spacious indoor environment at home, and my wheelbarrow is almost full now, so I'll think about the seeds next time I come."

After listening to this, Fang Ming thought about it and agreed.

Given the current size of the Ark Shelter, if you want to farm, you need to upgrade it at least once more.

Go all the way back to the shelter gate.

Xia Xiaochi saw the two guards standing at the door doing nothing again.

Although he is called a guard, it would be more appropriate to describe him as an "overseer".

There are almost no guests in Shelter 2737. The guard's duty is not only to intercept the information of people who have not logged in, but also to supervise whether the residents here are working properly.

"Hurry up and bring all the things over here. Do you still want to eat?"

"If today's collection doesn't meet the target, all of you will go hungry!"

The guard was knocking and hitting with an iron rod in his hand.

His rough voice was like a death warrant, prompting the people at the door to quicken their pace.

Xia Xiaochi leaned sideways and saw cartloads of yellow stones being carried in from farther away.

She twitched her nose slightly and smelled a pungent odor.

It smells like sulfur.

I had heard that Shelter 2737 was rich in supplies, but I didn't expect there was a sulfur mine here.

"No wonder there are so many ammunition on the shelf..."

Xia Xiaochi murmured.

One of the three main ingredients for synthetic gunpowder is sulfur.

The other side of the phone.

Fang Ming naturally also saw the mineral substance that looked like sulfur.

His eyes also lit up.

This is a good thing.

It will be great when I can get it for the little heroine.

Chapter 43 Your Home Is Still There

"Little girl, have you completed your deal with the administrator?"

"I changed a lot of things."

When Xia Xiaochi pushed the cart away, the two guards standing at the door took the time to look at her.

Xia Xiaochi looked at the other person coldly, but did not stop.

She doesn't like these two people.

If the administrator who had previously done business with her was considered a black-hearted businessman who was only interested in profit.

So, Xia Xiaochi only saw two words on these people in front of him: "greed".

They did not hide the desire in their eyes when looking at the carts in their hands.

If this 2737 shelter was not considered a lawful shelter, and if there were no one from above to restrain them, they would have definitely taken action by now.

"elder sister……"

Just walked a few steps.

Xia Xiaochi felt his robe being pulled by a weak force.

She stopped and looked down.

It was afternoon and the sun was already a little gloomy.

The yellow sand in the sky was whistling in my ears.

The little girl's messy hair was full of fine sand, and she looked dirty, with her cheeks abnormally red.

It seemed that he hadn't taken a bath for many days. When she approached, Xia Xiaochi smelled a distinct stench.

Xia Xiaochi was very familiar with this smell.

It's the smell of a dead person.

"Sister... do you have anything to eat?"

The little girl looked to be about six or seven years old. Her eyes were bloodshot and tear-stained, and it looked like she had been crying for a while.

She tremblingly tugged at the hem of Xia Xiaochi's clothes, and looked up at Xia Xiaochi with eyes full of desire.

It seemed like Xia Xiaochi was her last straw.

She stretched out her finger and pointed to a place not far away.

There, Xia Xiaochi saw a middle-aged woman sitting limply on the ground, leaning against the cold outer wall of Shelter 2737.

The little girl cried, "Sister, my mother hasn't eaten for a long time... She is starving to death."

"..."

Xia Xiaochi hesitated whether to go over.

It was not until the three words "Go and have a look" appeared on his wrist that Xia Xiaochi took a step forward.

The middle-aged woman was in a very bad condition, with her head drooping limply to the side. Yellow-brown cracks appeared on her dry and dehydrated face, large bruises appeared on the surface of her skin, and the gangrenous flesh began to ulcerate. The thick water flowing out of it was the familiar smell of death that Xia Xiaochi had just smelled.

She won't live long.

Xia Xiaochi made a judgment immediately.

She held the woman's hand, and her hot body temperature made her feel cold in her heart.

"Infected?"

"I...I don't know..."

The little girl wiped her tears silently and choked up, "It's all my fault. I wanted to go home and see my mother, so I made her sick. I'm sorry, Mom... wuwu..."

"Whatever they do."

At this time, one of the guards glanced over here, waved the iron rod in his hand, and joked: "Her mother is going to die soon. When her mother dies, this little girl won't live long either."

He laughed after saying this. "These two people didn't have much labor to begin with, and they were also sick. If our administrator hadn't kept them for two more days, they would have died outside long ago."

Xia Xiaochi didn't even glance over there, but just stared at the little girl intently.

"You are not from here?"

"us……"

The little girl struggled for a moment, but still timidly told the truth.

"We are from the 0331 shelter next door..."

"0331?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Xia Xiaochi's eyes:

"Are you the survivors of 0331?"

“We are not survivors.”

The little girl whispered in an uneasy voice.

"On the day of the 0331 explosion, we happened to come here to exchange supplies... When we returned, our home was gone."

"So that's it..."

It was hard to tell whether Xia Xiaochi was feeling relieved or sad.

"You have antibiotics in your bag."

Looking down, Xia Xiaochi saw the reminder on his wrist.

After learning Fang Ming's attitude towards the matter, Xia Xiaochi no longer hesitated and turned around to take out a box of antibiotics from his backpack.
