Chapter 067 Zombie Apocalypse 5
Xie Yunsui collected 800 zombie crystal cores, gave Ji Tianyuan two small cans of chili sauce, and drove the four people out.
"The debt has been cleared, and next time I come I'll be charged the normal price."
Xie Yunsui closed the door of the convenience store, and the four people could not get in.
It was already dark, and Ji Tianyuan and his three teammates, who had been through thick and thin together before, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Cao Ming paused and asked, "Captain Ji, why didn't you come and redeem us earlier?"
Ji Tianyuan: "I came here in the morning and got lost until evening."
He was almost eaten by the Venus flytrap several times. If he hadn't been so agile, he probably wouldn't have seen them.
Three people: "..."
All in all, brothers will remember this friendship in their hearts.
But the accounts must be settled.
"Captain Ji, even if you didn't come, we would have been able to redeem ourselves in a few days."
"...We've been staying in a convenience store these days, so it's pretty safe."
"The boss also provided us with big white steamed buns and water for free. It was a bit better than living at the base."
"Alas, now it's back to the old days."
Ji Tianyuan was puzzled: "Don't you want to go back?"
Cao Ming's eyes shone brightly in the darkness. "Captain Ji, can we eat hot, soft steamed buns every day when we go back?"
Ji Tianyuan: “…I can’t.”
As supplies became increasingly scarce, with no fields to grow crops and no factories to produce new food, the existing supplies became less and less to eat.
Nowadays, they live on compressed biscuits and only cook instant noodles when they want to improve their taste.
The city’s water, electricity, gas and signal networks have completely collapsed, and even cooking instant noodles takes time.
Cao Ming: "Can the water-based psychics in the base provide us with water for free?"
"……cannot."
"If we leave here, will we still be able to eat such delicious chili sauce?"
Ji Tianyuan was angry: "Do you want to beat up the boss again and owe him some crystal cores to stay here?"
"What a great idea!"
“…”
Cao Ming finally realized what he had said: "Just a joke."
It is impossible to challenge the store owner. The boss showed mercy the first time, but if you provoke him again, he might kill you with one sword.
Cao Ming and the other two had seen Xie Yunsui fight. His movements were smooth and methodical, as if he had learned them specially. Not to mention that he was a person with special abilities and had strong physical fitness. If they tried to fight him head-on, they would only bring humiliation upon themselves.
The four of them just sat in front of the convenience store, trying to think of a way to stay, and occasionally beating up the Venus flytrap that tried to poke its head over.
Xie Yunsui didn't go to bed so early.
Driving people out of the convenience store is also to make it easier for oneself to enter and exit the main body of the Wanjie Store.
Seeing that Xiao Wan had lost nearly 10 million energy in just ten days, he hurriedly took out the two fire crystal cores and more than 900 zombie crystal cores in his hand.
The reason why I didn't rush to transform the crystal core into energy to replenish Xiao Wan these days was that I wanted to see if there was a limit to Xiao Wan's energy loss.
A transaction was completed today, but it did not prevent the reduction of energy, because the energy generated by the transaction was so small that it did not appear in the total amount.
Why am I losing energy all the time?
Xie Yunsui asked Wanjie Shop again, but still got no answer.
Xie Yunsui sighed and tried to transform a zombie crystal core into energy replenishment.
Energy points +100.
So little?
Xie Yunsui frowned slightly and used the fire crystal core again.
Energy points +1000.
In the current world, one fire crystal core can be exchanged for 100 zombie crystal cores. For Xiao Wan, the energy difference is only ten times.
After all, in reality, people also have to consider that fire crystal cores can only come from fire-type mutants and are scarce, while Xiao Wan only looks at the size and purity of the energy.
Xie Yunsui was quite worried. Even if he put all the crystal cores in, it would still not be as much as what he lost today.
Judging from the fact that only Ji Tianyuan came back today, it is estimated that the advertisement was not very effective. It is impossible to save Xiao Wan through trading volume within a month.
Then he has to go out and hunt zombies every day?
-
It was completely dark.
On the 12th floor of an apartment building, a bright light shines through a window.
Lu Xizhou wore comfortable pajamas and came to the small balcony with a candle.
There are many signs of flowers and plants planted on the balcony, but most of the planting boxes are empty, and only the grass in two flower pots is still blooming.
Lu Xizhou used the light to come to the only two remaining flower pots with fruits.
"Again?"
There are more than twenty gray-white crystal cores in front of the flower pot of the little clip, and the small cage next to it is no less, with nearly twenty gray-white crystal cores and a beautiful blue crystal core.
I don’t know when it started, but the little clip and the little cage began to compete with each other to give “gifts” to their owner. Lu Xizhou would pick one up every day, and after picking them up, he would give some loving praise to the two pots of grass.
"Great! The grass is beautiful today too."
Lu Xizhou touched each small clip. Each Venus flytrap, which was only slightly larger than a thumb, tried hard to open its leaves. When it touched the soft thorns, it only subconsciously opened and closed the leaves, and then shook them and opened them even wider.
The pitcher plant next to it also tried hard to open its lid, so Lu Xizhou watered each small cage and then looked at the digestive fluid in each cage.
"I drank enough today~"
Trying to soothe every blade of grass.
Lu Xizhou was used to doing this and didn't notice that every time he touched it, the grass seemed to absorb more energy, the stems became more upright, and the color became brighter.
Lu Xizhou praised them one by one, hoping that these two pots of grass could accompany him longer.
After the end of the world came, many flowers and plants on the small balcony died, leaving only these two pots of grass to accompany him.
I bought them to catch mosquitoes and flies in the summer, and never took good care of them. Who knew that only these two pots survived the end of the world and have remained on the balcony.
After praising him, Lu Xizhou thought about finding something to eat for himself.
He went to his pantry and saw two boxes of sandwich cookies still sitting alone on the shelf.
This is the worst to eat, but it's all you can eat.
Lu Xizhou opened a box and took a bite of the biscuit with a wronged look on his face.
There is still some mineral water left in the kitchen. If I don’t go out to find something to eat, I will die.
He looked at the black scar remaining on his arm, and seemed to recall the pain of having his skin pierced by sharp claws, piercing his bone marrow, and the despair of being pushed into the zombie swarm...
No, let's wait a little longer.
He could eat less and sleep more.
If I only eat one box of cookies a week, I can still last two weeks...
-
When Xie Yunsui opened the door in the morning, Ji Tianyuan and the other three were still squatting at the door.
Seeing the Venus flytrap at the door, Xie Yunsui raised an eyebrow and said, "Good morning."
Ji Tianyuan touched the chili sauce in his pocket and replied, "Good morning... Boss, how much are your steamed buns?"
Xie Yunsui: "Two zombie crystal cores and a steamed bun."
Ji Tianyuan took out a handful of crystal cores, which were his inventory: "Buy eight steamed buns."
Xie Yunsui glanced at them and returned to the store: "Come one by one."
I forced Ji Tianyuan to give two crystal cores to his teammates and earned four trading volumes, which is better than nothing.
Although Ji Tianyuan was puzzled, he soon put his doubts aside with steamed buns and chili sauce in his hands.
"I'm going out now, please do as you please."
Xie Yunsui left this sentence and was about to close the door. Ji Tianyuan hurriedly asked, "When will you be back?"
He was afraid the shop owner would think too much, so he explained, "We went out to earn some crystal cores today, and we wanted to buy some chili sauce later..."
Xie Yunsui said, "I'll be back for lunch at noon and will be in the store between 12 and 1."
With their abilities, as long as they can get out of the Venus flytrap's encirclement, they should be able to earn fifty crystal cores in one morning, right?
Ji Tianyuan was thinking that he should work hard in the morning to earn more crystal cores, then come back at noon to buy food for the day, find a place to stay outside the Venus flytrap circle in the afternoon, and have the energy to fight more zombies at night.
After all, they are used to fighting zombies, so they just need to close their eyes and listen to the movements of the zombies. However, it is not easy to move among the mutated creatures at night, and the Venus flytrap makes much less noise.
Ji Tianyuan had forgotten that ten days ago, like everyone else, they were afraid of the mutated Venus flytrap.
Ji Tianyuan and his teammates followed the route back to Longqi Base. He walked back and forth here several times and became more familiar with the distribution of insect traps.
Cao Ming and the other two paused, but still did not say that they could follow the store owner, which would protect their lives better.
Xie Yunsui first went to the area of the Venus flytraps where the zombies were fed yesterday. These Venus flytraps had already "eaten" all the zombies thrown yesterday and digested them very quickly.
The expanded leaves had a full meal, absorbed nutrients, and were exposed to the sun. The center of the leaves began to show tiny dots of red, the color of blood.
Xie Yunsui looked around but found neither any remains of the body nor any trace of the zombie crystal core.
This Venus flytrap digests food thoroughly.
He had originally wanted to use the power of the Venus flytrap to deal with the zombies, but now that not even a crystal core was left for him, Xie Yunsui gave up the idea.
Today we changed direction and explored north.
After walking for a distance, Xie Yunsui saw a green forest that was different from the Venus flytrap.
In the green jungle, the ends of the leaves are decorated with cylinders taller than a person, with their mouths open to the sky. Walking in them does not seem dangerous, after all, the entrance is far away.
But once you step inside, you can smell an even sweeter honey aroma, which emanates from the lid of the cage, tempting you to go up and see what kind of delicious food it is.
Xie Yunsui asked the little bee to go up and take a look. The little bee circled around and found a pool of water in the cage. Just as it was about to stop at the mouth of the cage to take a closer look, it slipped and fell directly into the insect trap.
"Shopkeeper! Shopkeeper!"
The little bees were chirping.
After a while, Xie Yunsui used the long sword embedded in the sharp formation to cut off the insect trap of the pitcher plant and rescued the little bee that was tightly wrapped in digestive fluid.
Little Bee didn't expect to fail: "Shopkeeper! The top is so slippery, I can't stand on it, and the liquid inside is so sticky, if I move, I will sink deeper."
Xie Yunsui used energy to clean the little bee and found that the little bee's mechanical shell was a little worn and did not look smooth.
The digestive juices in this insect trap are really powerful.
The little bee has reached the age of loving beauty and refused to fly no matter what. It was only after Xie Yunsui promised to share more energy with it after Xiao Wan earned it so that it could repair the mechanical shell as soon as possible that it was coaxed into submission.
Xie Yunsui looked around and became alert.
This insect trap is taller than a human being. Unless you are a fool, no one would think of climbing to the top of the trap. As long as you don't climb up, you won't slip into the "trap". However, this place is still feared by people. There is not even a single zombie walking below. Something is wrong.
The biggest threat is looking harmless.
Suddenly, Xie Yunsui heard a cry for help.
After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Xie Yunsui walked towards the direction of the voice.
