"You can exchange the crystal cores for points yourself. Today I only have barbecue rice and bottled water for sale. Do you want barbecue rice?"
If she wasn't wanted, she would go to the third floor to bask in the sun and enjoy afternoon tea.
"Yes, I want it."
Suspecting that he had heard wrongly, but not daring to be vague, he rushed to answer, fearing that if he spoke later he would lose the chance to have dinner.
Xie Pu Rou didn't move. She asked the robot to make a plate of barbecue rice, and then she stood up after placing it on the shelf in front of her.
"If you want water, you can get it and pay the points yourself. You can eat at my seat."
After that, she went to the third floor to enjoy her time alone.
Jiang Zhuo paid the points and saw that his remaining points balance was more than 2,600 points.
The food I just paid for is only 20 points per portion?! And water is only 1 point per bottle! Oh my god!
I tried to get another bottle of water, and it turned out that I could actually buy a bottle of water with just one point!
He didn't have time to think about it, the aroma of the barbecued meat and rice had already made him extremely hungry and thirsty.
The meat was cut right after being roasted, and the heat was uneven, so some pieces of meat were a little burnt on the surface.
The first thing he took a bite of was the meat, which was full of barbecue flavor. He could tell that the quality of the meat was very good.
It is not fishy or woody, and is roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, and is full of juice.
Barbecue rice, barbecue rice, it has to be eaten with barbecue.
He stirred it, and the flavor of the sauce added a different flavor to the monotonous meal. You could taste the fusion of salad dressing, ketchup, cucumber shreds, and potato shreds, and you could taste it all in one bite.
Take a bigger bite and eat all the ingredients, including the meat and rice, in one mouthful.
The overall taste is not weird, but very harmonious, making people unable to resist eating it again and again.
He unscrewed a bottle of water and drank it in big gulps.
A 500ml bottle of water was like oral liquid in his hand, and he drank it in two gulps.
He was really hungry and hadn't eaten for a long time. A bowl of barbecue rice barely filled his stomach.
"Hello, can I get another serving of BBQ rice?"
Jiang Zhuo shouted at the roof of the RV.
The top was transparent, and he could also see Xie Purou enjoying herself while eating and drinking at the top.
Xie Pu Rou didn't say anything, but responded by snapping her fingers.
Seeing that the robots on the first floor were busy again, Jiang Zhuo sat down and waited for the meal.
Drinking water in small sips while waiting.
A female voice came from above, "Where are you going?"
"I want to go back to the central base."
"I'm going to the central base too, but how are you going to get back?"
Jiang Zhuo froze while waiting for his meal. Yes, the car was gone and his teammates could not be found. What could he do?
It's quite a long walk here, not to mention how long it takes, it's impossible for people to be directly exposed to the sun now.
But he still had the information he had seen with his own eyes after the extreme heat began, and he had to bring it back to the base no matter what.
"Boss, could you give a message to the guards at the central base on your way?"
Xie Pu Rou didn't care, she just wanted to pass on a message and immediately agreed, "Okay, you want them to pick you up, right?"
"No, I want to report to the base about some changes in plants, animals, and zombies after the extreme heat hits."
She was a little surprised. "Let me tell you something. Do you not want to go back?"
This guy was pretty nice, at least he didn't make any unreasonable attempts to get in her car and go back together.
"As long as the information is delivered, it doesn't matter whether I reply or not."
Jiang Zhuo smiled bitterly.
"Boss, do you have a pen and paper?"
Look at what stupid request I made. How could there be such a thing as paper and pen?
"Forget it, I'll dictate it to you, boss, okay?"
[Urgent mission now issued: Bring Jiang Zhuo back to the central base. Completion of the mission will reward you with a school building.]
!!!
"Who is this person? Why would you offer such a generous reward? Besides, didn't you say that no one other than me can get on the dining car?"
Xie Purou sat up straight in shock.
[He reported what he saw and heard during the apocalypse to the base firsthand to prevent more people from getting hurt.]
Jiang Zhuo was still talking when Xie Purou interrupted him, "Stop! I'll take you there."
Now he is her God of Wealth, the school! In the previous plane, unlocking facilities of this level of school required at least a lot of points in the middle and late stages.
"Eat quickly, we'll leave after a while."
Jiang Zhuo was stunned. He didn't speak rashly because he didn't want to embarrass his boss. But since the boss said so, he certainly wouldn't refuse!
Who would want to stop here if they can survive?
He was just lucky to meet her in such a remote place. Normally, it is not possible to meet someone by chance in such a large forest, especially the boss of a water-based mutant.
After dinner, Jiang Zhuo got on the RV. There was a place to sit inside the first floor of the RV. He sat stiffly next to the door and looked outside through the window.
I didn't dare look around, I just sat down and stared out the window motionlessly.
Xie Purou was very satisfied with his sense of propriety.
Whenever I see mutated plants along the way, I will stop and add some water.
I couldn't tell which plants were offensive because none of them attacked her.
This time, as usual, I got off the car and saw an obviously mutated plant with fangs.
I thought, this must be the attack type, right?
Tentatively, he reached his hand over to the plant's teeth.
Instead of attacking her, the plant rubbed her hand with its harmless side.
"These plants must be spirits! Their movements are like those of kittens."
[The affinity aura isn't given for free. Normal animals and plants won't attack the host, but if they're enraged, they might.]
“How amazing!”
Plants originally didn't want to harm humans. Their initial evolution was simply to better adapt to the end of the world. As human living space became increasingly compressed, humans were left with no choice but to eat plants and drink the juice from their roots and rhizomes to quench their thirst.
[In order to survive, more plants have had to evolve into attack-type plants. Otherwise, they would have been eaten by humans and there would have been no green left.]
Xie Purou was stunned.
From a human perspective, there is nothing wrong with people trying to survive.
From the perspective of plants, humans and their sap are no different than having their blood sucked out. When the sap is drained away, it's like a human body without blood.
Plants are forced to attack humans; it's not even an attack; it's self-preservation. So the plants aren't wrong, so what's wrong? Is it the chaotic world?
"They didn't attack you?"
Initially reluctant to explain further, Xie Purou, knowing he would relay the information to the base, guided him by asking, "Plants and humans don't have any conflicting interests, so why are they attacking humans?"
Jiang Zhuo fell into deep thought.
He survived in the mountains and forests for many days. He was too weak to move much, to fiddle with the plants, and no plants attacked him.
"If there's a conflict of interest, it's that everyone wants to survive. People want to eat plants to survive, and plants want to survive and attack people."
