Chapter 166 Zhou Guang is a botanist
Yu Xiang led Zhou Guang and his group back to the base.
The base gates slowly opened.
As soon as Zhou Guang and the others stepped into the base, they looked up and saw the entire base of zombies staring at them, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Can they really survive among these zombies?
What made them even more embarrassed was that these zombies tilted their heads and stared at them as if they were monkeys, which gave them the creeps.
Yu Xiang noticed that Zhou Guang and the others were uncomfortable.
She shouted at the zombies around her, "Stop looking! It's not like you've never seen humans before. Go back to your own business. Look at you all, you're scaring people."
As soon as the words were spoken, the zombies who had been watching the spectacle turned around and left without showing any dissatisfaction, as if it were all perfectly normal.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Guang's eyes flickered slightly.
It seems that Yuxiang's words carry absolute authority within the base.
Yuxiang led Zhou Guang and the others to a building. The building looked newly built, but it had only been simply renovated and was not actually newly built.
"This building is all empty. You can choose whichever room you like. If you don't like any of them, there are also empty rooms in the buildings next door."
"Thank you for the arrangements, Lord."
After saying that, Zhou Guang called the people behind him to go into the building to choose a house.
He waited until everyone had entered the building before preparing to follow them in.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind, and Bai Chi called out "Boss" as he jogged over.
His hair was a little messy, and there was some dirt stuck to the hem of his clothes.
Upon hearing Bai Chi's voice, Zhou Guang stopped and turned around curiously.
Why does this person call Yuxiang Boss?
Such a cringeworthy nickname doesn't match Yuka's loli-like appearance at all.
After eating the Corpse Fruit given to him by Youxiang, Bai Chi quickly gained the ability to speak human language, so Zhou Guang could understand what he was saying.
Yu Xiang frowned as she watched Bai Chi running over, panting. "Did something happen?"
Bai Chi calmed his breathing. "Those corpse fruit trees, even though I had a zombie with plant-based abilities try to save them, they still look listless. I feel like many of them will die in a few days."
His face showed worry.
Yu Xiang listened and thought for a moment, "Forget it, if we really can't save them, we'll just plant another batch. It won't take long."
Zhou Guang was very curious about the corpse fruit tree they mentioned; as a botanist, he had never heard of it before.
So he stepped forward and said, "Why don't you let me take a look? I specialize in studying plants and might be able to save the fruit trees you mentioned."
Bai Chi glanced at Zhou Guang, then turned to ask You Xiang.
"Boss, are you new here, human? I've never seen you at the base before."
Yuxiang nodded and replied, "Yes, I just brought him back from outside the base. His name is Zhou Guang."
Bai Chi looked at Zhou Guang and introduced himself to him in a friendly manner: "Hello! My name is Bai Chi, and I am the boss's most trusted zombie underling."
When he said his name, he emphasized it, afraid that Zhou Guang would mispronounce it. He didn't want another person or zombie to call him an idiot.
Bai Chi didn't actually like humans at first; in his mind, humans and zombies were inherently opposing forces.
But after spending time with the humans around Yuka a few times, he discovered that humans weren't so bad after all.
When Zhou Guang learned that the guy in front of him, who spoke normally and looked no different from a human, was actually a zombie, he was stunned for a moment.
Have zombies evolved to be exactly like humans now?
It looks so unrecognizable.
If zombies and humans remain at odds, and in the future zombies can easily distinguish humans by smell while humans have difficulty distinguishing zombies with the naked eye, then they will be at a disadvantage.
Actually, living together peacefully is really good.
Yu Xiang: "Then Zhou Guang, let's go up the mountain together."
Zhou Guang finally snapped out of his shock and said, "Okay."
Qiao Yue whispered a few words to Shen Jia, then said to Youxiang, "Little Youzi, Jia and I won't go. We'll go back to the villa first."
Yuxiang nodded, "Okay, then you guys go back first. Zhuozhuo, would you like to..."
Qin Zhuo immediately said, "I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang's face broke into a bright smile.
She slowly took Qin Zhuo's hand.
Having Zhuozhuo with her feels really good.
An hour later.
The group arrived at the mountain, and Zhou Guang's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the strange orchard in front of him.
These fruit trees are really strange in appearance. Their trunks are particularly twisted and their color is also bizarre. It is neither the common green nor the yellowish-brown color, but a kind of black.
He had lived most of his life and read so many documents, but he had never seen a fruit tree like this before.
Zhou Guang couldn't help but ask, "Where did this fruit tree come from? Are the fruits on it edible?"
Just as Youxiang was about to answer, Bai Chi preemptively answered Zhou Guang's question.
When Zhou Guang learned that the fruit of this tree was a favorite food of zombies, he still found it hard to understand why such a fruit tree could exist in the world.
His mind kept replaying various memories of plants, but he couldn't find one that matched this fruit tree.
He really wanted to taste the fruit for himself, but when he remembered that Bai Chi said humans couldn't eat it, he had no choice but to give up the idea, feeling a little regretful.
When Zhou Guang asked Youxiang about the origin of this fruit tree, Youxiang blinked her bright eyes and said, "It's a secret."
She answered all the questions she didn't want to answer with the word "secret." Lying required finding a reason, which was too troublesome.
Seeing this, Zhou Guang stopped dwelling on the issue and instead rolled up his sleeves to carefully examine the problems with the fruit trees.
He would squat down to examine the roots of the fruit tree, then stand on tiptoe to check the branches, and then get close to the fruit to smell it.
As expected of a botanist, he quickly found the problem and told Bai Chi how to plant these fruit trees. He also explained in detail the correct planting methods for these fruit trees, from the frequency of watering to the types of fertilizer, and he explained everything in great detail.
After hearing Zhou Guang's words, Bai Chi's eyes were filled with amazement.
This human is really amazing!
Yu Xiang also thought Zhou Guang was quite impressive.
She thought to herself that entrusting Zhou Guang with the planting affairs of the base would definitely make the crops grow better.
So, Youxiang asked, "Zhou Guang, are you interested in taking charge of the planting affairs at the base? The base needs the help of experts in this field."
Zhou Guang lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, then raised his head and agreed.
"Okay, I'm willing to give it a try."
