Chapter 69 Blood Vine
The security guard led the way in a small electric vehicle, and Yin Shan and the others followed him into the villa area. He introduced the situation, saying, "You two can just call me Xiao Zhang. There are a total of 20 villas in the villa area that are habitable. The others are too cold or too hot, and have structural problems, so they are not habitable.
Currently, 15 buildings are occupied. The unoccupied ones are on this side.”
Xiao Zhang led Yin Shan and the other person towards the corner. Sure enough, no one lived there because the location was quite remote, which was exactly what they wanted.
Yin Shan asked, "Is there any simple decoration in the house?"
Xiao Zhang said, "It's decorated, but there's no furniture or anything like that. Oh, and if you want electricity, there are two ways. One is to have your own generator; the other is to pay for electricity and three pounds of grain per day."
Hou Ting asked, "Is the electricity bill so expensive? Is it the same for the entire villa complex?"
Xiao Zhang explained: "There's a power shortage right now, and the government hasn't officially restored the electricity supply. We use generators for electricity here, but as you know, gasoline and diesel are very scarce right now.
But this is not mandatory, you don’t have to use electricity.”
Yin Shan said, "We have a generator. If the generator stops working one day, we can just buy electricity. Is that okay?"
Xiao Zhang said cheerfully, "No problem! Which one do you want?"
Yin Shan took out a small can of tea and handed it to Xiao Zhang, saying, "I want the one in the innermost building, but how do we get fresh water here?"
Xiao Zhang took it with a smile and said, "You've asked the right person. We have a seawater purification device here, so it's drinkable. However, it requires a water tower. Don't worry, I'll arrange this for you! It's free!"
If you are not short of supplies, you can also go to the trading market to find a water-based mutant to help you fill the water tower, but I am not sure about the specific price.
In addition, although it is 200 kilograms of grain, if you have tobacco, alcohol, tea, etc., you can also use them to offset it. Tobacco and alcohol are scarce now, and a pack of cigarettes is equivalent to 100 kilograms of grain."
The two looked at each other, and finally found 200 kilograms of rice in the space to pay the rent.
Xiao Zhang took the rice, handed the key to Yin Shan, told the two that he would come over to help install the water tower in a while, and left.
After Xiao Zhang left, Hou Ting asked, "Will you stay for a month?"
Yin Shan nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, we'll have to stay for a month. On the one hand, we need to exchange some seafood and the like. Since we are not short of food, it is necessary to appropriately enrich the variety of food.
The main thing is salt. You can never have too much salt. The salt I stockpiled before was enough for the five of us to eat for a lifetime, but now there are so many people in the base, so I still have to get as much salt as possible.
Then let Old Man Li and the others refine it properly!"
When he said the last sentence, Yin Shan's sly expression made Hou Ting laugh. Li Guangnian was an academician after all, but Yin Shan actually wanted him to make salt!
Sure enough, he is dark and vindictive!
But Hou Ting still asked, "What about the other side? I originally thought we could only rent it for half a month at most."
Yin Shan said: "Look for the blood vine. It will probably appear near City F. It is a very powerful mutant plant. It has its own thoughts and can even command other mutant plants.
We need to find it and destroy it before it becomes too violent."
Hou Ting was puzzled: "Blood vine? Isn't that a medicinal herb?"
"It's a mutant vine. Because it's so lethal, it's called the Blood Vine by the Kyoto base. Hundreds, if not thousands, of mutants have died at its hands.
This thing is very sensitive to the blood of people with special abilities. We can't just leave it alone. I also want to see if it's possible to tame it.
In the previous life, it was Lei Ting who ultimately killed it, but after that mission, there was no news of Lei Ting anymore."
Hou Ting understood. Yin Shan suspected that Lei Ting in his previous life died from serious injuries in the battle with the blood vine. If she let it go, it might be Lei Ting who would eventually kill the blood vine.
Hou Ting was still a little worried: "Shanshan, if you change the original time trajectory too much, will it affect you?"
Yin Shan said indifferently, "So what? If I could do it again, I wouldn't want to have any regrets. No matter what, I hope we can go on together, instead of knowing what the other person's fate will be and not making any changes.
Okay, enough of this, I'll go connect the generator first, and you go check if there's anything messy in the house."
Yin Shan connected the generator and quickly turned on the air conditioner to save his life.
Hou Ting checked around and found no eavesdropping devices or surveillance cameras.
"Ms. Yin, the water tower has been delivered. Let's install it for you now!" Xiao Zhang's voice came from outside the yard.
Yin Shan opened the door and felt a slightly different gaze from one of them, so he narrowed his eyes.
After they set up the water tower and left, Yin Shan came into the house and stopped Hou Ting, who was struggling to stay alive under the air conditioner. "I don't think today will be peaceful. A man just looked at me with lustful eyes!"
Hou Ting: "...Are you sure that look was a lecherous one, and not a curiosity about your gender? Look at your hair, you had to shave it off before you came out. And look at what you're wearing!"
Yin Shan: ...
Rolling her eyes, Yin Shan sat down and consciously opened the system mall. She remembered that the mall sold electric grids.
Multifunctional power grid: high-voltage power grid, produced by the system, does not need to be connected to a generator, can be freely changed in size according to the host's needs, required points: 5000 points.
Yin Shan: A profiteer!
But this thing can also change size at will, and it doesn't need to be connected to a generator. In this case, its use is not just for defense! It can also be used as a weapon.
Yin Shan acted decisively, leaving the villa and surrounding the wall with electric fences, including the gate. After a moment's thought, he taped a note on the door saying "Electricity, Do Not Touch" and returned home.
Tell Hou Ting that there are electric fences all around, and if she wants to go out, she must tell herself, otherwise she will be irresponsible if she gets electrocuted. Then go to the kitchen and replace the range hood.
Under Hou Ting's command, he took out the furniture and arranged it. Just as he was about to sit down and start cooking, he remembered that there was no water in the water tank. So he took some vegetables and meat, asked Hou Ting to cook, and went to fill the water tank.
With the combined efforts of water-based abilities and the spiritual lake water, the tank was filled up in no time.
Yin Shan returned to the house and saw Hou Ting busy in the kitchen. He immediately started praising her: "My monkey is really capable. What delicious food did she make today!"
Hou Ting rolled her eyes and asked Yin Shan to serve the dishes.
Okay, Maoxuewang, stir-fried kohlrabi...
Hou Ting asked, "Do you want to take turns keeping watch tonight?"
Yin Shan shook his head and said, "No need, there is high voltage electricity outside, if you dare to come, you will die!
Even if they can solve the high voltage problem, they can't get in, so don't worry!"
Hou Ting washed up and went to bed, Yin Shan was still waiting. The man with bad intentions just now was a third-level psychic. At this time, a third-level psychic could be considered a strong person. Yin Shan was sure that he would come today.
So Yin Shan turned off the lights early and waited for the show to begin.
