The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 174 A great harvest

Fortunately, the slaughterhouse repatriated its employees before the disaster, leaving only a small number of people to maintain the basic operation of the factory, otherwise Zhou Nan and his team would have had a lot of trouble.

All the zombies on the surface were cleared out, and Daryl climbed over the fence gate and opened the door for Zhou Nan and his group from the inside.

Everyone entered the factory carefully. Some zombies were trapped in the slaughterhouse, and some were locked in the room. Zhou Nan and his team cleaned them up one by one.

As he went deeper, Zhou Nan also figured out the overall picture of the factory.

Entering from the main gate of the factory, you can go directly to the slaughtering area, which mainly slaughters cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock. The processes involved here include receiving, quarantine, pretreatment, cutting and dividing, cooling and refrigeration, etc., and there are corresponding operation rooms.

There was nothing interesting to see in this area, so Zhou Nan and his friends simply skipped it.

On the left are the office area, staff dormitories, canteen, sewage treatment facilities, etc. Except for the canteen, they are also of no value to Zhou Nan and his team.

Zhou Nan also signaled everyone to empty the cafeteria, and he led the others to continue moving forward.

In the center of the factory is a storage room, and next to the storage room is a huge cold storage. A sign says that some raw meat and coarsely processed products are stored here.

The storage room is used to store some deep-processed meat products, such as some fresh cuts of meat, prepared foods, vacuum-processed foods, etc.

All the fresh meat was eaten by zombies. The blood stains on the table in the cutting area were very light in color. It seemed that after the zombies finished eating the beef and mutton here, they even licked the scattered blood stains clean. This made Zhou Nan and his group a little disappointed.

But then, Daryl's voice came from next door, "Hey, I thought you might be interested in this stuff."

Zhou Nan and his group heard Daryl's call and came to the storage room next door. Zhou Nan was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he was speechless.

Boxes of cooked food were neatly arranged. Zhou Nan took down the box of cooked food closest to him and carefully looked at the product's shelf life.

These were produced before the disaster day.

There are a lot of goods stored here, and neatly arranged cartons are everywhere you look.

It seems that because of the chaotic situation when the disaster day came, these goods could not be sold in time and were stranded here.

First came canned meat, mainly canned beef. This kind of iron shell packaging has a long shelf life. Zhou Nan opened a can and tasted it himself first.

The taste was average, but it was not spoiled. In line with the principle of not wasting food, Zhou Nan gave the can to the people around him. Everyone took a piece and ate it all.

Then came the vacuum-cooked poultry, which came with added egg products. Zhou Nan took two bites and found that they were also not expired and were still very fresh.

Zhou Nan even found smoked fish products. Apart from the sea water in the southeast, there were no other places with large numbers of fish. It seemed that the fish were just transported here for secondary processing.

Packaged pastrami, corned beef, Canadian smoked meat, ground beef, luncheon meat, sausage, hot dogs, salami, pepperoni, hamburgers and beef jerky, American roast duck...

T's eyes were filled with tears. He even knelt on the ground and loudly praised God for allowing them to find so much food. The others were also dancing with excitement.

After they finish eating these foods, they will have enough to plant two crops. Then they will have corn and potatoes to replace them, and solving the problem of food and clothing will not be a problem!

Zhou Nan couldn't help but smile, but he suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "Let's go over there and take a look."

In fact, the power outage lasted for about one and a half months from the disaster day to now. Zhou Nan looked at the spare generator outside the cold storage and saw that the fuel was almost gone, and he had lost hope.

Maybe the meat inside has already rotted.

But when everyone opened the door of the cold storage, Zhou Nan shivered in the cold wind.

"Oh"

"My"

"God!"

Everyone held their heads and exclaimed in surprise.

Inside, there are rows of whole pigs and sheep hanging...

Zhou Nan also yelled, "Close the door quickly, don't let the cool air escape!"

The stunned crowd finally woke up as if from their dream and quickly closed the door.

Zhou Nan also took out the intercom and asked the prison to get ready, as he wanted to move all the meat products in the cold storage over!

Fortunately, today's prisons have a refrigeration circulation system, which Karina completed independently in her spare time. It is equivalent to a cold storage.

"Hannah, we're going to ship the meat back soon. You must open the prison cold storage in advance. This time, the amount involved is not a small amount."

Hannah was also quick and decisive. She immediately notified the relevant personnel to open the cold storage to cool down the temperature in advance.

Fearing that the treadmill zombies were unreliable and might cause insufficient power supply, Hannah even asked someone to prepare a gasoline generator in advance in case of emergency.

"I've got everything ready here. You can leave in an hour."

Seeing Hannah ready, Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief. "Very good. Do you still remember how I smoked meat at Harrison Memorial Hospital?"

Hannah understood what Zhou Nan meant, "Of course I remember."

Zhou Nan replied, "That's good. We also have the sausage-making machine that Chase and the others brought back from the cold storage. It's idle anyway, so let's split up and work on it."

"First, store it in a cold storage. The meat that can't be stored will be smoked in batches and used to make sausages in the other batches."

……

During the one-hour wait, Zhou Nan also went to the right side of the factory, which is the leather-making area and the breeding area.

Unfortunately, the place is filled with a terrible stench, and all the people here are pigs, cows, and sheep that have starved to death.

But there is also good news. There are abundant reserves of furs such as cowhide and sheepskin.

Sheepskin is also a good thing and can be used to make clothes to help them better survive the winter.

There is no need to say much about the bragging, the purpose of their coming here is to brag.

Using cowhide to make leather armor and then using items such as rubber tire pieces to focus on protecting key parts will significantly help improve survivability.

This trip to the slaughterhouse was definitely not in vain, and I can say that I gained a lot.

Motel

Glenn also came to the motel at this time, but when he first arrived there he only saw Clementine, Lily and his father, and Kenny's family whom he met later.

The little girl Clementine was the first to spot Glenn through the fence defenses. She knew that Glenn was their friend.

Glenn also discovered this cute little girl.

Clementine is a first-grade student who is sensible, strong, kind, and polite. She is the moral compass of the team and strives to maintain humanity in a world overrun by zombies.

Big Lee is a murderer with great combat power. He is also Clementine's protector and mentor. He taught Clementine how to survive in a world infested by zombies, and also taught her morality and humanity. Their relationship is the most profound.

Hearing Clementine's voice, Lily and the others walked out of the motel.

Looking at Glenn and the three other inmates around him, Kenny welcomed them, but Lily and her father Larry looked clearly displeased.

"Glenn, we don't have enough food here to begin with. It's fine if you came back alone, but you came back with three mouths to feed?"

The three people in the prison who were traveling with Glenn also showed an angry look, "Who cares about your little food!"

But in order to live in harmony, they swallowed the words that were on the tip of their tongues. After all, they came here with a mission from Zhou Nan and couldn't mess things up.

Lily is a selfish woman who speaks her mind without caring about how others react to her words. Lily sometimes shows her kind side, but this is rare. She is more bossy and foul-mouthed.

Lily's father, Larry, is a white American. He is also a violent racist who hates Nico. Larry suffers from ischemic heart disease and must take nitroglycerin tablets regularly. He also needs to stay calm at all times, but unfortunately, he often gets angry...

Lily was extremely worried about the food shortage. She had a quarrel with Kenny not long ago. She was obviously reluctant to see Glenn return and even showed that she was not welcome to Glenn.

Glenn knew that Lily and Larry were difficult and cold-blooded people. He tried to change the subject, "Where is that big guy, Lee, and that female reporter, Carly?"

Carly is a white American woman in her 20s who used to be a news reporter for WABE in Atlanta. She is a strong, calm, and honest person with a broad perspective and team spirit. She is also a sharpshooter and can often make the right decisions.

After hearing Glenn's words, Kenny also explained in a friendly manner: "Lee, Ben, Carly and Mark followed the two people away. Oh, by the way, Ben and Mark joined after you left."

"They were going to a ranch with a man named Andy and another named Danny. Andy and Danny said they wanted to trade some food for gasoline."

"Our food supply is extremely limited, so Li and his team went to the ranch first and let us go after confirming it's safe."

Kenny is a 42-year-old white man who values ​​family very much and is willing to do anything for his family. Before losing his family, he was relatively rational and calm. After losing his family, he gradually became unstable and depressed, but his friendship with Clementine became his shining point.

After Glenn heard what Kenny said, he rubbed Clementine's head and said, "Little Clem, are you hungry now?"

Clementine rubbed her stomach sheepishly. Lee shared the food with her and Duck before leaving, but she was still very hungry after eating.

Clementine shook her head and said, "Thank you, Glenn. I've eaten and I'm not hungry now."

Glenn patted Clementine on the head, "Your Uncle Glenn is going to perform a magic trick for you!"

Glenn then took out the sausages that Zhou Nan had prepared for them from the car. Amidst everyone's expectant eyes, he first gave one to Clementine, who looked surprised.

Glenn then gave some to Kenny's family, but he didn't give any to Lily and Larry.

Glenn is a good guy, but that doesn’t mean he has no temper!

Influenced by Zhou Nan's actions, Glenn also became a lot tougher.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Lily supported Larry, who had collapsed to the ground, and then she shouted at Glenn, "You're really going too far. I just complained a few words, but you knew my father had a bad heart and you deliberately angered him. Is it necessary to do this?"

"Hurry up and distribute the food to us, otherwise if anything happens to my father, you will be held responsible!"

Glenn distributed food, but didn't give any to the father and daughter. Larry was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

At this moment, he was holding his chest and breathing hard.

Glenn gave a contemptuous smile: "Your father has a heart disease. Did I cause it?"
