Chapter 366 365. Rebirth from the Cocoon [Two in One]

But no matter how greedy the two were, there were only four chickens and Zhou Qian refused to eat them no matter what.

Instead, Chen Xing sighed: "Alas, I don't know when I can become rich."

Everyone had been trying their best to make a fortune in the wilderness this time. The main theme of Zhao Feiyan's meeting was to tell everyone not to be too aggressive, in case they earned their share but lost their lives.

Now that's a problem, no one has started to advance rashly yet, but because of Wu Yue, everyone has to stay on the periphery.

"This guy is so unlucky!" Chen Xing said angrily: "Look how unlucky he is!"

Zhou Qian thought about it and nodded seriously: "Indeed."

It must be said that after more people got on the car, his tense nerves also relaxed a little. Then Chen Xing looked at the road conditions ahead and said, "Why don't we switch? I'll drive the first two outer areas, and you can have a good rest. Once we enter Area 8 and Area 9, the road may not be easy to drive, and I'll use my supernatural power to help clear the way."

Zhou Qian has been driving for a month. Although he still rationally controls himself to work and rest, his mental pressure is still increasing day by day. At this moment, as soon as Chen Xing's proposal was made, he immediately rejected it: "No need."

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't hold back a yawn any longer.

Chen Xing: "...You should either take a rest or I'm afraid we won't find the person and we'll have to die on the road."

Zhou Qian had nothing to say.

After a while, the car stopped on the road. Zhou Qian briefly explained two precautions and then pressed the rear hatch: "I'm going to sleep there. If anything happens, press this reminder button."

And Chen Xing turned his head and looked at the back of the car: "What's in it?"

Since the other party was bold enough to follow him, Zhou Qian naturally had no doubts. Moreover, if he could conceal it for a while, could he conceal it forever? He got out of the car quickly and took Chen Xing to the back to see.

The moment it came into view, Shen Xing was stunned.

The garrison's pioneer vehicle was tall, large, and spacious, and its rear cabin was divided into two floors. The upper floor was slightly shorter, but it had a skylight, so it housed several of the strange creatures she had just seen on the screen.

But these days, it's not uncommon for rich people to raise some mutant creatures. Although Chen Xing studied it for a while in surprise and was a little curious about the pot of plants that were still moving in the corner, he was not that surprised.

The only thing missing is the row of green things in the corner...

"What's this?"

She asked in surprise, "Are these rare plants you found in the wilderness?"

Zhou Qian glanced at her with an inexplicable look in his eyes. After a while, he replied, "Can't you recognize it? That's onion, garlic, coriander, a few pots of green vegetables, and a large box of potatoes and radishes."

They were all induced before Huaiyu disappeared.

But when she was away, she could only open the skylight on the roof to maintain it every day, so it obviously didn't look as lush and green. In comparison, the two baskets of cabbage in the corner were not so eye-catching.

Chen Xing was stunned: "No...you guys were really planning to have an outing here?"

Then he became deeply envious: "Fuck, wood-related abilities are so cool, why am I not the same?"

Then she looked down below.

The lower level was plain and ordinary. There was a large white, round object in the corner that she couldn't see clearly. Outside was a simple small bed, but judging from the marks on it, Zhou Qian had probably been sleeping in the cab during this period.

After all, if there is no one on duty when sleeping here, the flexibility and mobility will be much worse.

But besides the row of gasoline in the corner, what were the bulging sacks filled with? She asked curiously.

Zhou Qian said it was normal: "One sack of fish chunks, two sacks of chestnuts, some seasonings, some grains, oils and staple foods, and some dried vegetables and bean paste brought from home."

Originally, part of it was to be exchanged with the garrison, but after what happened, how could they have the nerve to ask for it? In the end, not only did they not ask for it, they also gave away a lot of their own supplies.

Chen Xing: ...

She always felt that she had a good life in the past. Although it was a bit hard in the wilderness, as long as she returned to Flower City, she could taste all the delicious food she could eat with Fanta and the others.

Even though I'm working alone now, my quality of life is not much different than before because I don't have too many burdens.

But now she realized that even after the disaster, the gap between the rich and the poor was still so big! Some people really lived like this when they came to the wasteland!

How outrageous!

…

Although Chen Xing was almost defeated by the gap between the rich and the poor, Zhou Qian was able to relax and have a good sleep with her around. Chen Xing drove the car all the way to the edge of District 9, stopped the car, and Zhou Qian's slightly hoarse voice came from the rear cabin: "Chen Xing?"

"Yes." She agreed: "We have arrived at District 9. Let's go down and rest for a while."

Zhou Qian wiped his face and came out decisively.

When he got out of the car, he took a basin with him. There was a huge water tank outside the car. He only needed to turn on the faucet to get clean water. Seeing this, Chen Xing felt even more sad.

She stretched her body in the rest area, then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Zhou Qian looked at the route map: "Next, we will go through District 9, shuttle along the District 9 of each major district, and look for road signs. I have seen all four districts of GFED, but there is no guarantee that they will not appear later."

Chen Xing nodded to show that he understood, and then asked, "What to eat?"

There are so many ingredients, and she won’t eat the nutrient solution anyway.

Zhou Qian was at a loss for a moment: "Then... Chestnuts and fish cubes?"

???

Chen Xing was shocked!

…

In another place in the wilderness, Huai Yu was breathing heavily and holding onto a tree beside him.

The supernatural power in his palm surged out uncontrollably, and the bark of the tree beneath his hand quickly rubbed against each other and grew. The roots underground rapidly expanded and arched out of the soil, and the leaves above his head became denser and denser, and in an instant, dense yellow flowers like millet blossomed in the cold wind.

As the cold wind blew, the rich fragrance spread in the air, seemingly soothing her increasingly hot cheeks.

Huai Yu reached out and grabbed a handful of snow from a bush nearby and stuffed it into his mouth. At this moment, his legs went weak and he couldn't help but fall to the ground. In this miserable state, he struggled to crawl towards the bush nearby, and then reached out to search under the snow, trying to find something to fill his stomach.

She didn't know whether the high fever was caused by soaking in the water for too long or by the uncontrollable supernatural power. In short, she felt weak all over, as if she had been drained of energy. She needed so many things...

After a moment, she withdrew her hand, dug out a few dry and tasteless grass roots from under the bushes, rubbed them with snow, and put them into her mouth.

But my hungry stomach was burning with anger and I simply refused to acknowledge that this thing could provide energy to the body.

Her mind was in a state of chaos at this moment, as if an endless stream of supernatural powers were pouring out of her body, affecting every blade of grass and every branch under her hands at any time.

The bushes nearby began to grow, and then in the cold air, a bunch of small white flowers with yellow stamens bloomed. Watching them wither in the blink of an eye, Huai Yu took a breath and finally saw the red fruits on the branches.

She couldn't recognize it, but she didn't care whether it was poisonous or not, and just stuffed it into her mouth quickly.

After she had cleaned the 6-meter-long vine, the burning sensation in her stomach subsided a little. She leaned against a big tree, and her head finally cleared up for a moment.

But this is not a solution.

Huaiyu sat on the snow and turned all his bags over.

There was a bag of melon seeds with only a few seeds left in it, which I absolutely could not touch and could not fill my stomach at all.

A magnesium rod, a wet lighter, matches and a burnt notebook, an eggshell knife in a fixed leather case, an ordinary knife, a roll of rope, and a piece of insulation film folded into a square - she had completely forgotten about these things when she was underground.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Finally, there is a small cloth bag, which contains seven or eight big, fat ginseng roots that were soaked in water and then dried.

When he saw them, Huaiyu felt his throat extremely dry, as if he was in urgent need of something.

Without any hesitation, she stuffed the ginseng roots into her mouth. Without chewing them carefully, a strong flavor of bitter ginseng burst out, making her whole head dizzy again.

In the end, she only had time to stimulate the vines beside her to cover her tightly, and soon lost consciousness.

And at the gate of the unknown Sanqing Palace, the roses swaying under the old wall began to tremble at this moment, the petals fell to the ground, but the branches grew rapidly!

Soon, the two or three vines grew into a huge flower bush with a diameter of more than three meters! Sanqing Mountain has also entered winter. The cold air blows the soft fragrance of roses. The whole mountain forest seems to be whispering, as if welcoming its rebirth.

At the Rose Mansion at the foot of the mountain, Gao Ming drank a bag of nutrient solution numbly, ignored the strange noises coming from outside, and continued to concentrate on his research.

But behind Huaiyu's house, Kuang Biao suddenly noticed something, and a bamboo forest tilted its head towards the rose corridor. At this moment, it was surprised to find that the tall rose corridor in front of it looked even thicker and more unbreakable. It didn't know what had changed, but it did feel stronger to the bamboo.

Kuang Biao: ...

It stared at the other party intently, and then lamented that it could not even expand its territory now, and then thought about its girlfriend who died with the season...

In short, this world is so unfair!

We are all plants, why should we be divided into different levels?

Even if we take a step back, there are definitely more people praising bamboo than roses throughout history. Can't he be the boss? ...

The unusual changes in the distance did not spread to the wilderness, and neither did the problems within the garrison.

As the new commander, Bai Yu made such a big mistake the first time he led the garrison to explore the wilderness. There were so many things to deal with for everyone from top to bottom.

Although everyone can see that the main responsibility does not lie with her, the problem is that another higher-ranking guard officer, Wu Yue, has not only not woken up yet, but is becoming weaker and weaker!

No matter how inappropriate General Wu's actions were, they had their own internal laws to judge him. However, the other party had only explored the entire area of ​​the wasteland once this year. He had only explored the beginning when he was stabbed in the heart and lungs by a mutant persimmon tree...

If this news gets out, people all over the country will start to question their fighting effectiveness!

It does sound outrageous. The persimmon tree has even negotiated for cooperation. To show its sincerity, it also allowed Bai Yu and his friends to take back its persimmons. A row of northern long-tailed tits on the top of the tree have left various detailed data...

It is no exaggeration to say that the medical team has already thought about the future research and development direction.

As a result, this incident happened, which left everyone speechless.

Logically speaking, they would never let go of the murder of their comrade so easily, no matter how rare and precious the persimmon tree was.

But now it is not a matter of letting it go easily. Once they make a decision to punish, the garrison will be unhappy! They are convinced that they have been tricked by General Wu along the way. Now the other party has another innocent girl's life in his hands. Why bother with the persimmon tree at this time? Let's save their precarious beliefs first! What's more, there is another difficult matter now——

That is, they are sure that they did not encounter any fungi along the way. In this winter, unless there are some super-strong mutant bacteria, other fungi will not actively appear to parasitize, right?

In fact, the only injury General Wu had ever suffered was being pierced by a persimmon tree.

But why were there so many elm yellow mushrooms growing all over his wounds? And no matter how he cleaned them, the spores seemed to be growing and scattering at any time, emerging in an endless stream.

As a result, the medical cabin needs to be kept open for everyone to perform surgery to remove the elm yellow mushrooms at any time, while at the same time various nutrient solutions and blood transfusions need to be continuously injected into it.

Otherwise, the mutated elm yellow mushroom would drain it dry before anyone wakes up.

After much research, the medical team came to the conclusion: "This mutant elm yellow mushroom... is actually a good mutation, with a very low mutation value, and it loves to grow. If it can be domesticated and made into mushroom bags..."

Everyone is a researcher, and at this moment, their eyes can't help but look at the medical cabin next to them. Apart from anything else, the round and plump shape of this cabin really looks like a mushroom bag that can't stop flowing...

Bah! That's General Wu!

Everyone looked away and confirmed another thing: "Excluding other sources of mutation and contamination, the remaining possibility is that the roots of this persimmon tree originally had mushroom spores. When stabbing General Wu, these spores were accidentally left in his body. It can't be said that it was intentional, it was just an accident..."

The leader who was listening in: "...I called you here to ask you to come up with a solution, not to listen to your judgment, whether intentional or not."

"Also! What mushroom buns! That's General Wu of Wu Yue who sacrificed himself for the country! He has living flesh and blood! You guys are still thinking about eating the elm yellow mushrooms that grow like this?!"

Everyone was unhappy with this statement: "We are just analyzing the facts!"

"I've just demonstrated the solution to you. We'll keep up with the nutritional supply here. If mushrooms appear, we'll immediately remove them surgically!"

Some people are unwilling to justify the reputation of the elm yellow mushroom: "The strong growth ability of mushrooms is obviously a good thing. In the future, everyone can raise two bags at home and have no shortage of vegetables in their daily lives."

"What's so great about the flesh and blood of a mutant? This mushroom loves to grow so much. If you give it a tree trunk, it will grow even better than it is now, and it can even be eaten!"

"But if we want to eradicate it now, we have to sort out all the tens of thousands of spores in his body, and it will probably require three to five operations. The development of nanorobots is not up to par now, and the surgery cannot be performed for the time being. What else can we do?!"

Everyone spoke righteously.

Come on, see you next door. I wrote a little bit more than the limit here, and the word count is a little more, so the charge may be a little higher.
