Xie Ruian was stunned for a moment before he whispered, "Yes, then I'll wait for the girl to come back."
Wei Xiyin waved her hand, walked out of the research institute, and led everyone away.
The temperature is hot.
The high temperature caused the humidity in the air to disappear completely, making it extremely dry. The bright sun scorched the earth, and the strong light made it impossible for people to open their eyes.
After Wei Xiyin and the others came out of the dock, they quickened their pace, hoping to enter Crow Mountain as soon as possible to avoid the scorching sun.
This time they were led by two returning scouts, and the group soon arrived at the foot of the mountain and entered the forest.
All the guards wore sun hats and carried small curling stones. In order to reach Guang'a County as soon as possible, they did not bring a cart. Each person carried dry food and other items on his back, and the cage was carried by four guards.
The mountains and forests are covered with lush green trees, the leaves rustle, and the sunlight shines through the layers of leaves, casting golden dots.
The temperature is slightly lower than outside.
Chu Yu glanced at the bag on the guard's body. It was called a bag, but it didn't look like one. It was made up of two shoulder straps, with a bamboo frame structure inside, and then wrapped in a layer of coarse linen. It looked square from the outside, but in fact, there was a lot of space inside, which could hold a lot of things.
Seeing that he was interested, Wei Xiyin explained to him, "This is called a backpack."
In fact, the appearance is more similar to some draggable backpacks. The addition of bamboo weaving is just to strengthen the structure and prevent the guards from falling and crushing the things inside.
For example, the scouts who went to Zhongshan State and Guangping County before all used this kind of backpack, but they carried a lot of dangerous items, such as explosives and fuel oil in bamboo tubes.
There is very little salt left in the fort now, so we can’t make solar fire. However, a lot of vegetable oil has been extracted, so there is no shortage for the time being.
The two walked among the guards, chatting as they walked.
Chu Yu said, "I just saw the girl go to see Shi Niangzi. It seems that the girl must have learned about the plants."
Wei Xiyin nodded, "Indeed, I wanted to ask you, sir."
Why didn't you report such an important matter to her?
Chu Yu imitated her, holding the small curling stone in his arms, and explained, "Before, because I didn't reach an accurate conclusion, I wanted to wait a few more days until the temperature reached its highest and I got the growth data I wanted, and then report to the girl."
He said calmly, "The girl must be curious about how Yu discovered this."
Wei Xiyin almost tripped over the mountain road when she heard this. It was because of this that she suspected that Chu Yu had traveled through time.
But I didn't expect him to mention it on his own initiative.
Seeing her guilty look, Chu Yu snorted coldly, "This is all thanks to the girl."
Wei Xiyin was confused. She had never cared about plant research before, so what did it have to do with her?
"Before, Gong Liulang was the one doing the plant research. Yu would occasionally look at the reports and pay attention to the growth of the plants in the institute. Yu noticed something was wrong when the girl ordered Ji Dalangjun to be transferred to observe the plants."
The little fat man finally left the house where the zombies were imprisoned. He no longer had to face those horrible things all day long. His mood changed quickly, and he came to the research institute happily to work every day.
Chu Yu soon discovered that the growth conditions of the plants cared for by Ji Yao and those cared for by Gong Liulang were at two extremes.
There is no need to say much about Gong Liulang. In terms of intelligence, he is almost on par with the girl.
The plants he took care of took about seven days to bloom.
The plants that the fat boy took care of produced flower buds in just two days.
The two pots of plants were transplanted from outside at the same time and came from the same place. Logically, there should be no difference in their growth. There must be something wrong in the process.
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiyin was dumbfounded and said, "So you concluded that plants are related to human moods?"
This made her think that there was something wrong with Chu Yu, and she even suspected that he had traveled through time or was reborn.
It turns out that people can't be too smart.
Otherwise, you see, Gong Chun also doubts her.
"I couldn't be sure at first, so Yu chose Shi Niangzi from among the female relatives to verify it."
Chu Yu glanced at her calmly. "Tenth Lady is naturally lively, optimistic and cheerful. The orange tree that Gong Liulang gave her blossomed and bore fruit within a few days. Now, this small potted plant has blossomed and borne fruit, but it's not fully ripe yet. I imagine it will be sweet and juicy."
The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, they are all Madam Wei, why is there such a big difference between them?
Wei Xiyin understood and was speechless for a long time.
A good woman doesn't fight with men.
She coughed lightly and changed the subject, "Have you come to any conclusion about the zombies becoming weaker?"
Chu Yu did not answer immediately, but looked at his feet intently.
This section of mountain road is steep, and you need to always pay attention to the protruding rocks under your feet when walking. The four guards carrying the iron cage at the back have been replaced. The interior of Crow Mountain is extremely large, and more than 20 people followed the two scouts who led the way and shuttled through the mountains.
Wait until you reach a relatively stable place.
Chu Yucai said, "It's definitely related to the temperature. The lower the temperature, the more active the zombies are. It's certain that they will return once winter arrives."
It was expected.
Wei Xiyin was not surprised at all. She said calmly, "Sir, do you know the law of conservation of energy?"
"What is the law of conservation of energy?" Chu Yu frowned.
Wei Xiyin explained: "Energy neither appears nor disappears out of thin air. It simply transforms from one form to another, or is transferred from one object to another, while the total amount of energy remains unchanged."
"Simply put, those zombies aren't perpetual motion machines. They won't grow endlessly. Once their energy is exhausted and reaches a critical point, they might die naturally."
She wiped the sweat from her face. "It's just that the time limit is uncertain. Maybe three to five years, or maybe more than ten years. That's why I'm in such a hurry to go to Guang'e County."
For so long, there has been no obvious difference between individuals, but now the energy of one zombie has been replenished.
Chu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his gaze in thought.
The two of them didn't speak again after that. Climbing a mountain is a physical activity, especially in the hot summer. Even though everyone prepared curling, they still sweated.
There is no condition for washing now, so everyone takes a clean cloth and wipes it casually with the water droplets overflowing from the curling stone.
After walking in the mountains for a few days and climbing over the peak, we arrived at the blocked hillside on the back of Crow Mountain.
A circle of six-meter-high earth walls blocked the road section. The guards cut down trees nearby and quickly built a wooden ladder.
Chang Ying and two scouts were the first to climb over and check the situation.
Wei Xiyin pointed at the wooden ladder and said sideways, "Sir, go first."
Chu Yu glanced at her and said, "Girls are always polite in inexplicable places."
After saying this, he walked straight towards the wooden ladder and disappeared over the wall in a leisurely manner.
Wei Xiyin followed closely behind.
After the girl and Mr. Chu left, the guards carried the iron cage over the wall.
The group did not stay for long and walked down from the middle of the mountain into Bai Township.
