Chapter 21 Planting a Small Bamboo Forest
Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao walked to the bamboo forest at the same time and looked up at the bamboo leaves.
The bamboo leaves fluttered gently, making a rustling sound.
It turns out that the teahouse is so cool because of this small bamboo forest.
Move it!
Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao looked at each other, nodded, and started to do it.
Before the end of the world, Song Yuqing once photographed an old artist whose biggest hobby was growing bamboo. He could talk about bamboo endlessly. Song Yuqing knew a lot of methods of transplanting bamboo from him.
Song Yuqing found a small shovel and carefully dug a ball of soil about 30 centimeters in diameter around the base of the bamboo. The bamboo's roots were completely encased in the ball. Together with the soil, Song Yuqing safely placed the bamboo and the soil inside the space.
Although the bamboo forest was small, there were still about ten bamboos, so digging them out would require a lot of effort. Little Meat Bun was eager to try, imitating Song Yuqing's behavior and digging a hole with his bare hands.
The bamboo did not develop any special abilities to resist and quietly allowed Song and Qing to manipulate it.
Song Yuqing dug the soil with great enthusiasm, eager to take the bamboo forest back home and transplant it in front of the God's Supermarket. Perhaps he would save a few roots to sell to Liu Xiaona.
At this time, Liu Xiaona was being tortured half to death by the 50-degree heat. Even though he was an intermediate-level psychic, he simply didn't have a physique that could withstand high temperatures. Even his water-based psychic abilities were greatly affected, and he could barely control the water flow anymore. This made him a pariah.
When the temperature rose, most people in the base moved into the bunkers. The few remaining people who had offended Lin Han were forced to stay on the ground and wait for death - Liu Xiaona was one of them.
For people with special abilities like Liu Xiaona, or even ordinary people without them, Base 27 is no longer a survivor base; it's more appropriate to call it a survival challenge base. This week, many people have died, partly due to the heat and partly due to the internal strife between Lin Han and the base's founder, Xie Zetian.
Liu Xiaona knew she couldn't wait for Sister Qin any longer, so she planned to leave the base and look for Song Yuqing. The problem was, with Liu Xiaona's current physical condition, she might die before reaching the Supermarket of God.
In Chen Town, Song Yuqing returned to Shenzhi Supermarket and partnered with Xiao Roubao to dig a hole in front of the supermarket to plant bamboo. They were so engrossed in their work that they completely ignored Huo Bin, who wanted to help but didn't know how.
Huo Bin stood there in a daze, feeling that he was redundant, which made him very uncomfortable.
Before Song Yuqing came back, he thought carefully about Master Fu's words and competed with Song Yuqing. Of course, he wanted such an opportunity, but he was afraid, he didn't dare, because he was worried that he could not compete with Song Yuqing.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Song Yuqing finally planted a dozen bamboos. He wiped the sweat from his head with his muddy hands, and a touch of yellow appeared on his forehead.
"Yeah, it looks good." Huo Bin responded perfunctorily.
The entire alley was devoid of vegetation, save for the bamboo outside the God's Supermarket. In the shadows of the alley, a zombie was undergoing a complete transformation. Its limbs and skin were the same color as a human's, and its eyes had turned golden brown. It stretched its limbs and emitted a strange sound from its throat. Several junior zombies, hearing the sound, slowly approached it.
The zombie with golden-brown eyes leaped onto the rooftop and landed steadily on the eaves. Its mobility was much stronger than that of a primary zombie, and it had even regained some of the functions of a human brain, allowing it to control other zombies and assign them tasks.
"Hiss!" The newly born zombie king ordered his subordinates to wipe out the living people in Chen Town.
The zombies started from the deepest part of the alley, searching for traces of living things from house to house, such as mutant dogs, mutant chickens, mutant ducks, mutant birds...
When encountering a zombie that cannot tolerate high temperatures, the Zombie King will lend a hand by using his own energy to assist the zombie in evolving the ability to withstand high temperatures.
The Zombie King leads the zombie horde and is about to approach the God's Supermarket.
Of course, Song Yuqing didn't know about the zombies' actions. She was immersed in the joy of owning a small bamboo forest.
"Gaha!!" The woman in white who had appeared mysteriously a few days ago appeared again. She came out of nowhere and anxiously pushed Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao into the house.
Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao were frightened at first, and then they were pushed unconscious by the woman in white.
"Gaha! Gaha, Gaha, Gaha!" The woman in white danced and seemed to want to explain something to Song Yuqing.
Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao stood silently by the door, looking at the woman in white with their heads tilted in confusion.
If you look closely at the woman in white, she isn't scary at all. Her hair is just a little longer, her skin is a little paler, and her eyes are a little grayer... Putting all that aside, the woman in white is actually quite cute.
Huo Bin hid behind the shelf, thinking to himself that this girl was like the warrior he met in the mall on the night of the meteor shower. In order to protect a child, she dared to fight zombies with her bare hands.
"Gaha! Gaha!" Seeing that Song Yuqing didn't understand what she was saying, the woman in white simply closed the door of God's Supermarket for Song Yuqing.
Song Yuqing:?
Song Yuqing was about to open the door when he suddenly heard a series of "hissing" sounds.
Through the window glass, Song Yuqing saw a huge group of zombies walking towards him, and each zombie had a greedy look on his face.
Seeing the zombies approaching, the woman in white clenched her fists and yelled, "Gaha!" But the zombies froze for a moment before moving on again. Seeing she couldn't control the zombies, the woman in white immediately fled.
Huo Bin was frightened and his legs were shaking.
"It's okay, those zombies can't get in." Song Yuqing comforted Huo Bin.
The zombie king with golden-brown eyes walked out from the zombie group and actually broke through the "38th parallel" of God's Supermarket. Through the glass, he met Song Yuqing's eyes.
Song and Qing were terrified, while Little Meat Bun bared his teeth at the Zombie King.
The Zombie King called on the other zombies to attack the God's Supermarket, but found that the other zombies could not get close to the God's Supermarket. Its golden brown eyes flashed red, and it smashed the glass with its hands in anger.
"Master Fu, help!" Huo Bin squatted behind the shelf, trembling.
"You've turned into a skeleton, why are you afraid of zombies? They don't like to gnaw bones." Master Fu said unhappily.
Yes, I've become a skeleton, with no flesh left. Zombies don't like to eat me. Huo Bin finally felt relieved.
The window glass of the God's Supermarket was shaken by the Zombie King's hammer. Song Yuqing took out a kitchen knife from the space, just in case. At that moment, a woman in white fell from the sky, holding a large iron rod, and smashed it hard on the Zombie King's head.
The Zombie King shook his body, stood still, and waved his fist at the woman in white.
"Hiss!"
"Gah!"
The Zombie King and the woman in white fought back and forth, using words but no violence.
Song Yuqing and Xiao Roubao looked at the strange scene in front of them and felt an indescribable weird feeling in their hearts.
"The one in white is also a zombie, but he is more advanced than other zombies and doesn't eat humans." Master Fu's words made Song Yuqing suddenly realize.
After a few rounds, the zombie king couldn't help it anymore and showed his claws and pounced on the woman in white.
Song Yuqing's heart ached. She didn't want to see others die to save her, even if that "other" was a zombie.
