Chapter 404: Protect yourself from getting hurt

The other plants were relatively docile and showed no signs of attacking, which made me feel a little more at ease.

Rustle...

There was a strange sound coming from the hole that had been dug before. It turned out that there were still some roots left inside. Some blood flowed into the soil and was absorbed by the remaining roots.

Is this thing so tenacious?

Xiang Yu took out a hoe from the space, and with one hoe, he dug out all the bloody soil.

The roots hovered around the blood, unwilling to leave.

Xiang Yu then discovered why they were so active. It turned out that they had absorbed his blood.

After her body was transformed, unlike ordinary survivors who had been injected with the divine fluid, there was still some X1 given by Zhao Lixin in her blood.

Healing potion.

As if he had thought of something, Xiang Yu took out a dagger from the space, and then used the dagger to slash the tip of his index finger.

The blade of the dagger was very sharp. A cut instantly appeared when the fingertip just touched the blade, and blood flowed out from the wound.

But in just a blink of an eye, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was the effect of X1 in her body.

While the wound had not yet healed, Xiang Yu squeezed it hard twice, and more blood dripped into the soil from the wound.

The roots that were hovering in the soil a moment ago became active again and stretched towards the wound on Xiang Yu's index finger.

Like a child craning his neck to be fed.

A drop of blood dripped onto the root of a plant, and the root trembled violently as if it had absorbed something addictive.

Then it reached towards Xiang Yu's index finger even faster, but when it touched Xiang Yu's index finger, the wound on the index finger had healed.

It wrapped around Xiang Yu's fingers. There was no smell of blood, but only the scent of its own kind. It lost interest in an instant.

Xiang Yu took out gasoline from the space and poured it on the roots to eradicate them completely. Her blood seemed to be very attractive to these things.

It seems that I have to be more careful in the future and not get wounded.

After burning all the remaining roots with fire, Xiang Yu turned around and went back into the house.

…………

Eight days later, one afternoon, the heavy rain turned into drizzle.

Xiang Yu was sitting on a watchtower above the fortress wall. A pot of hot water was boiling on a small charcoal stove on the table, and there were teacups and tea leaves on a tray beside him.

He picked up a piece of charcoal with tweezers and put it into the small stove. Xiang Yu raised his hand to take down the kettle above and poured some water into the cup.

After taking a sip of the brewed tea, Xiang Yu picked up the telescope beside him and looked towards the distant ravine.

Her fortress was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and now, under the heavy rain, the unknown plants that had previously parasitized the soil seemed to have been washed away.

All of them have grown out recently. Those plants had never been seen before the end of the world.

Thinking that he might live here forever, Xiang Yu cultivated a lot of those white hallucinogenic flowers.

Those white hallucinogenic flowers have absolutely no effect on her now.

Instruct the robots to plant these white flowers under the fortress walls. These hallucinogenic white flowers are effective on the survivors who have been injected with the divine liquid.

In the distant ravine, those unknown plants were swaying in the breeze. Due to the heavy rain in recent days, the water on the ground was already 15 centimeters high. Wherever you stepped on the ground, there were black stains all over.

Xiang Yu tried to put blue algae into the water, but within a few hours, the blue algae rotted and died.

In the misty drizzle in the distance, two men in black work clothes were walking towards the fortress with umbrellas.

The two men walked while observing the surrounding environment. When they found that the robots on guard nearby had retreated, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Sitting in the watchtower, Xiang Yu had already spotted the two people walking towards him from a distance.

The telescope looked at the two people and saw that the clothes they were wearing were clean and tidy, and they were holding an umbrella in their hands.

Probably someone from a nearby shelter.

If the other party wanted to cause trouble, they would not send only two people.

After a while, the two men came to the gate of the fortress. One of them stood in a place where he could shelter from the rain and stretched out his hands to pat the rain off his shoulders.

"When will this damn weather return to normal? It's so dark and makes me feel bad."

The man shook the rain off his umbrella, then leaned it against the wall. As the two men moved, ripples of water swayed beneath their feet.

The other person also hurried to the man's side, patted the rain off his body, and held the shaking oxygen cylinder tightly with his right hand.

"I think the weather is pretty good now, at least better than in previous years. I'm thinking, if only we could go back to the normal weather we had a few years ago."

But these should be nothing more than wishful thinking.

"Don't think about those things. Don't forget what we are here for. Did you see the robot just now?"

As the man spoke, he turned sideways and looked towards the small windows above the wall.
