Chapter 17 Is this my golden finger?
Chapter 17
The judge looked at the map, immediately selected the shortest route, stepped on the accelerator and set off.
He no longer had the leisure to care about why the magma did not appear. It was better without this alien species. At least so many people would not have died.
These days, the judge has been driving except for eating, and has not had much rest. He almost pushed himself to the limit and arrived in City C.
Finally, almost a month after leaving City A, he arrived at the home he and Nian Chengxiao had agreed upon.
City C is indeed just as described in the novel, with relatively few alien species here.
Many species that have mutated in other places remain in their original form here.
Si Shen drove the car according to the map and finally arrived at a small mountain village.
There are still some houses here, and it looks like there are still people living there.
However, despite the loud noise of the interrogation vehicle, there was no sound at all, and this small village was forgotten here.
But come to think of it, the people here might have left their homes and headed to the base after hearing the broadcast.
Si Shen walked along the cement road and finally found the house that Nian Chengxiao had mentioned in his phone.
However, Si Shen looked at the house that was tightly entangled by the tree roots, drew his sword, and got out of the car with Nian Chengxiao and Wa Wa.
After a few days of training, the judge has become very good at distinguishing different species.
The thing in front of him that was destroying the house was a mutated alien.
The tree has intricate roots and looks like a giant tree. The small Western-style building built by the old owl has become a bonsai.
The blood-red sunset coated the twisted branches of the peach tree with a layer of dark red, and the roots as thick as pythons had already crushed the blue brick foundation of the small Western-style building.
The three-story Western-style building now only has half of its broken staircase hanging on the tree trunk. Turbid mucus seeps from the texture of the peach wood, corroding the remaining carved iron railings into honeycomb-shaped holes.
The judge looked at the scene in front of him, and even though he had expected it, he still couldn't help but sigh.
After all, this small building was built by Nian Chengxiao and it is their warm little home.
But now the Niancheng Owl has become a mute alien species, and the house he left behind has been completely destroyed by the alien species. How can he not be sad?
The judge estimated the strength of this alien and he could answer with certainty that he could not defeat it.
So they had to let the thugs, Frog and Niancheng Owl, move out immediately and stretch their bodies.
Mycelium spread out from the broken bay window on the second floor. At first, it looked like a layer of grayish-white mist, gradually condensing into translucent tentacles, wrapping around the waving branches of the peach tree.
The human-face-shaped nodules on the trunk suddenly twitched violently, and petals rained down on the mycelium.
The pink that should have been delicate was now as sharp as a blade, but the moment it touched the mycelium, it was wrapped by the sticky fungal web and turned into a pool of fishy-smelling powder.
Frog flapped its wings, and a strong wind blew away the petals that flew towards Si Shen.
The tree roots made crisp sounds similar to bones breaking as the mycelium entangled them.
It swung its branches madly, whipping the air so hard that it made a whistling sound, but this allowed more hyphae to penetrate into the wood layer through the cracks.
When the fungus finally climbed to the highest point of the tree canopy, the entire peach tree suddenly stiffened, and the bark peeled off layer by layer like a melted candle, revealing the honeycomb structure inside that was hollowed out by mycelium.
At the moment of the final collapse, the trunk broke into countless pieces.
The fragments were broken down into tiny particles by the mycelium before they hit the ground. A cloud of spores mixed with the scent of peach wood rose up, dyeing the sunset a sickly pink-gray color.
The remaining half of the stair handrail hit the fungal blanket with a "clang" and was immediately swallowed up without a trace.
[It is detected that the host currently has idle land. Do you want to start farming? ]
Si Shen's golden finger, which had been silent for a long time, finally showed some changes.
The judge looked at the scene in front of him and slapped his face.
He always thought that this system only left the toolbench and everything else disappeared.
I didn’t expect that it didn’t meet the standards, so it didn’t show up.
The judge looked at the environment in front of him and immediately agreed to open the farm.
Their home had been destroyed by aliens, and this farm just filled the gap left by the lack of a place to live.
[The farm is loading, please wait patiently! ]
Si Shen stood there motionless. Nian Cheng Xiao did not receive the touch of love, so he turned himself into a small ball and came forward to act coquettishly, waving his tentacles.
Si Shen petted the young owl, and Frog flew over and received the same petting.
The petty-minded Niancheng Owl also stretched out his tentacles and touched the crow.
The crow received double the amount of petting and narrowed its eyes, not caring at all who was petting it.
[The farm has been loaded successfully. Please note that once a farm is selected, it cannot be moved later. Please choose the location carefully!]
The judge chose the ruins in front of him without hesitation.
A warm white light flashed, and a lot of wood rose from the ground. After a clanking sound, three wooden huts appeared before the judge's eyes.
The small house in the middle is the most dreamy. It is a three-story building.
On its left and right sides are two small bungalows.
A small fence appeared around the cabin, enclosing some of the surrounding land.
There was an archway at the entrance, covered with thorns and with a farm icon.
Frog was very curious about the farm that suddenly appeared in front of him. Si Shen looked at the initial farm in front of him which was exactly the same as the one in the game, and tears were about to come out.
Si Shen was laughing so hard that his teeth were not visible. How could the awakened one compare to his golden finger?
This is a farm. After the apocalypse in the novel, this land cannot be used for cultivation.
Alien species cannot be eaten, and plants that have not become alien species will be devoured by alien species.
At the beginning, humans could still find food produced before the end of the world, but later they entered an era of famine.
It was thanks to the efforts of the people in the research institute that they successfully invented a medicine in the third year of the apocalypse.
This allows the seeds of plants to be free of contamination and become edible low-level alien species.
But this food not only tastes bad, it can also be considered a chronic poison to a certain extent.
It can release a substance that is called release factor by people in the research institute.
This substance can cause ordinary people to have extreme emotional reactions, either their emotions will fade until they lose them, or they will become extremely irritable.
In this world, if emotions are too extreme, many problems will arise.
Although the research institute has not developed a substance that can cause people to mutate, they have found that in the end times, excessive emotional amplitude will attract the desire of alien species to prey on them.
Moreover, the greater the emotional fluctuations, when they reach a certain level, humans will become aliens.
Of course, having emotions close to nothing is not a good thing either. Such people may commit suicide.
Therefore, this kind of food is also called chronic poison.
But there is no way, either you will starve to death early or take poison yourself.
Before, Si Shen was still hesitant about what to do if they ran out of food. But now, with this farm, it would be hard for him to think that things would not go well!
