Chapter 11
The gathering place was busy early in the morning. Several wastelands in the surrounding area were reclaimed. Lu Renshuang stood in the middle of the field, guiding everyone to plant the seedlings.
Covered with soil, the emerald green leaves trembled, adding a touch of green to the barren scenery.
Jiang Zihan walked over from a distance, looked at the orderly scene, and exclaimed: "Did you sort out all those seeds?"
Lu Renshuang straightened up. "Half and half, I'll pick out the ones that grow faster. We have to harvest the last batch of vegetables before winter sets in. Otherwise, this winter might be tough for everyone."
In the past, when this place was not so desolate, they could still find a lot of food, but in the past few months, a lot of plants here have died, and they have to compete with evil beasts for survival resources. They dare not easily set foot in the dense forest, and have already started to think about stealing tree bark and grass roots.
In order to better survive the winter, the original house also needs to be thickened and some insulation functions added. Before, everyone lived in a muddle and had no extra energy to do these things.
Now that they are in a better condition, all of these need to be replenished. Large quantities of materials are moved to the gathering place, and each person wishes he could split them in half to use.
Jiang Zihan nodded. "That's a good idea. When the weather gets cold, the vegetables won't spoil easily. We can also dry some and pickle some. Add in the tips from the livestream, and that should be enough."
When she woke up this morning, she found that the ground around her was covered with a layer of frost. She couldn't help rubbing her arms. The temperature had begun to drop. In addition to food for the winter, they also had to get some cotton clothes, otherwise they would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Oh, right." Jiang Zihan suddenly remembered something else. "Have you analyzed the ingredients of that potion?"
The potion suddenly appeared in the supply box, and no one knows whether it is real or not. But if it is real, if we can analyze the active ingredients inside and replicate some of them, we can effectively avoid the reduction of personnel.
Lu Renshuang: "I took it to the research institute for a look. Luckily, the equipment there is still usable. However, I can only analyze a few of them now. I can't replicate the complete product, but I might be able to make a semi-finished product."
Jiang Zihan's eyes lit up: "Is it easy to find the raw materials?"
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure appearing in the valley. It was running closer and closer, causing the people working around to stop their work.
Jiang Zihan looked at its agile movements and couldn't help but smile.
Now Zhuifeng goes out for a half-day run every day. He ignores other people because he knows that they will be scared when they see him and will not approach him on purpose. People in the gathering place have gradually become accustomed to his presence.
Going out for a walk released all the pent-up energy in its body. Zhuifeng's condition has now stabilized and his wounds have completely healed.
Zhuifeng's paw pads landed silently on the muddy ground. He walked briskly to the two of them and poked his big head forward. Jiang Zihan raised an eyebrow and reached out his hand as she wished.
The next second, a plant was placed in her palm.
Jiang Zihan's eyes lit up. This was clearly wild ginseng!
She handed the item to Lu Renshuang: "Can this be used? If the medicine doesn't work, can it be made into a nutrient supplement?"
Jiang Zihan explained some of the treatment methods to her: "After the surgery, I gave Zhizhi and Zhuifeng a lot of nutrition, and the rate of deformation has slowed down a lot. So I suspect that the previous deformation is very likely related to the war beast's own physical fitness."
Lu Renshuang frowned. According to this, she would have to study another formula.
She stroked the wild ginseng. "I do remember a few formulas for nutrient supplements, but we don't have many ingredients. The plants here are limited, so we'll have to look elsewhere for the rest."
"That's not a big deal." Jiang Zihan said, "The danger level outside the dense forest isn't that high. Give me a list, and I'll take Zhizhi and Zhuifeng with me."
Lu Renshuang looked at her worriedly. She had to supervise the planting of crops in the fields and couldn't leave at all, otherwise she would have wanted to follow.
Jiang Zihan put the wicker basket on his back again and was about to push the bicycle when Zhuifeng walked over slowly and bent down slightly in front of him.
She was stunned: "You want to carry me over?"
Zhuifeng shook his ears, and the arc of his ears became even bigger.
She smiled and touched its back: "You are a good child who knows how to repay kindness." After saying that, she jumped up in this posture.
On the way to the dense forest, Jiang Zihan opened the live broadcast room. Before he could say anything, he saw a pink reward appear on the screen.
She blinked, the reward was actually meat!
Jiang Zihan murmured, "Has the live broadcast room been upgraded?"
In the previous reward list of the live broadcast room, apart from some fast food, there was nothing like this. But when she talked about what happened yesterday, her grip on Zhuifeng's neck tightened slightly.
Could it be that this guy is targeting Zhuifeng? It seems this big tiger has quite a strong background.
The dense forest is changing every day. After the distortion subsided, many plants that had never been seen before appeared along the way. She looked at the list made by Lu Renshuang, which also had some simple diagrams drawn on it. Although she could not recognize every one of them, she picked up all the suspicious ones, as they might be useful in other ways.
Zhuifeng followed behind her, and suddenly his nose approached the tree to sniff, and his alert eyes looked at something farther away.
The trees moved quietly for a moment, then returned to calm in an instant.
Jiang Zihan dug up the newly discovered plant with its roots. Seeing Zhuifeng standing still behind him, he couldn't help but call out, "Zhuifeng? He's gone."
Zhuifeng glared at the darkness as a warning, then moved right up to her, almost tripping her. They laughed and joked as they carried the full basket of spoils deeper into the forest.
…
The trees inside the dense forest are dense, and the sunlight shining through the leaves is becoming increasingly sparse, reducing visibility a lot.
Jiang Zihan walked forward with a normal expression. Suddenly, Zhuifeng and Zhizhi seemed to have discovered something at the same time and reacted with vigilance.
She immediately put her hand on the knife: "What did you find?"
She instinctively mobilized her mental strength, and her five senses were instantly amplified. Amidst the rich scent of grass and trees, a very faint smell of blood drifted over.
She followed the smell and saw a man and two beasts slowly approaching. She saw a man lying next to a thorny bush. His flight suit had been torn and blood was stained on the fabric. His once handsome face was pale.
Jiang Zihan's heart moved. She had seen this face before. It was one of the pilots who had transported supplies before.
She looked up and glanced around. Besides the chopped-off branches of alien plants, there were also many mechanical parts of surveillance cameras on the ground. It looked like the person had been attacked by alien plants during the installation of the surveillance camera, causing him to be seriously injured and unconscious.
It’s just that there was no live broadcast signal in this dense forest, so no one noticed him when he fell for a long time.
Jiang Zihan squatted down and checked carefully. The pilot was breathing rapidly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and there were many irregular dark red spots on his neck, spreading rapidly like a virus.
She opened the system interface, and the values on the panel jumped rapidly, but did not freeze for a long time. She was secretly shocked. Could it be that the other party's strength was much greater than hers, so she could not read it?
But this situation looks like the distortion has worsened, and if it's not dealt with quickly, this person will be finished.
She quickly pulled out her medicine box and began to treat the wound with deft movements. She wiped the wound with sterile gauze, which quickly soaked through with blood. Then, she took out her scalpel and began to carefully heal the contaminated wound.
This person's distortion was somewhat strange. There was no external distortion at all, as if his energy was strictly controlled within his body. This control seemed even stronger than Zhuifeng's.
After wrapping the bandage, she breathed a sigh of relief: "This shouldn't be a big problem."
Although he was still a little worried, Jiang Zihan knew that this person was different from those in the gathering place and he could not intervene too much, but it was not a good idea to leave him in this area full of unknown dangers.
She looked around and decided to drag the man out. As long as he appeared under the surveillance camera outside, his colleagues would immediately notice him and would definitely send someone to pick him up.
Jiang Zihan struggled to lift the man up and half-carried him on Zhuifeng's back. His body was a little hypothermic and he had to get out as soon as possible.
She patted its back gently and said, "Go ahead and leave the person outside."
Zhuifeng was clever; it knew where the surveillance cameras were. Given her speed, it decided not to waste time following them. The crouching figure's fingertips moved slightly, then calmed down.
Not long after, Zhuifeng rushed back to her side.
As night fell, the light in the dense forest grew dimmer and dimmer. Jiang Zihan returned the same way. When he came under the surveillance camera, he saw a lot of messy footprints left there, but no human figure. He must have been taken away.
She breathed a sigh of relief and returned home carrying the heavy wicker basket.
…
When they returned to the gathering place, it was already completely dark. Jiang Zihan carefully processed the meat he had received today, filled a large bowl with it, and placed it in front of Zhuifeng.
"You've been busy all day and you must be tired. Eat more." She held her chin and looked at Zhuifeng with his face buried in the basin. She couldn't help but show some kindness.
In front of the live broadcast interface, Feng Xiangming couldn't help but reveal the same expression, and the adjutant standing beside him also had a face full of sighs.
Feng Lei's eyes were red. "I never thought that Pojun would regain his sanity one day. If uncle knew about this, he would definitely be very happy."
There was a hint of sadness in Feng Xiangming's eyes. Pojun was one of his father's war beasts. It followed him to fight on the front lines until his father's deformation rapidly worsened and he died not long after. Pojun also went out of control.
He was at another front at the time. When he came out, Pojun had already been declared incurable and sent to exile.
At that time, the place of exile had been blocked, and once you entered, there was basically no chance of getting out. No matter how high his official position was, he could not violate it.
But now it's good, Pojun is saved.
Feng Lei sighed: "It seems that this anchor is really quite capable."
Feng Xiangming's gaze shifted to the girl. "If she truly has the ability to heal the deformity, then the rules of the Exiled Land might actually change because of her."
