Chapter 390 389. Roasted Melon Seeds [Two in One]

In short, the king cobra with a diameter of over 80cm brought a great psychological trauma to Huaiyu. She finally understood why Lin Xuefeng said that the garrison would leave if they encountered this.

Because if you don't provoke these creatures, they may not run around and attack. But once they move, the mutant plants and mutant animals will come out together...

What was he after? Was it just the things she carried back in her big bag? Although some of them were valuable, they were not worth much before he settled down.

That's it...

“I found that they are all very smart!”

There is a row of swallow nests under the eaves outside the ruins. If the swallows can't find food, they can eat the bees on the first floor, which is the safe passage on the top floor.

The rats on the second floor can move freely back and forth through the small hole. Once the huge tree roots are attacked, they will make noise, which will definitely allow them to prepare in advance.

The king snake on the third floor has grown so big, and the rats on the second floor have amazing reproductive capacity, but they only occupy half of the room...

Huaiyu had reason to believe that the king snake had never left its nest since it mutated, and had been raising its own products in the nest. Otherwise, how could one explain the lack of a larger hole outside?

When she and Lin Xuefeng entered, there was clearly some movement, but the other party just squirmed and was too lazy to even attack.

Just... I have fed myself so much that I am fat and lazy.

Zhou Qian thought carefully about Huai Yu's speculation and found that it made sense! This kind of cooperation model is not uncommon in the wilderness. He nodded: "What about the fourth floor?"

"The fourth floor is gone!"

"There are more bones there than on the three floors above, but they are all just scattered pieces. I don't know if they were eaten by rats."

"There were patches of various fungi growing in the corner. Lin Xuefeng said some of them might be difficult to deal with, so he told me not to get close. He used his supernatural powers to collect some things, and then we came back."

There was no way to not come back. Huaiyu wanted to explore it carefully, but this building was an office building, and because it was close to the top floor, the space was large and there were few people. Apart from some broken electronic products that had long been unusable, the items that could be collected were quite limited.

Thinking of this, she suddenly took out two sparkling cufflinks from her pocket: "Look! Diamond cufflinks! Aren't they sparkling?"

She put it in Zhou Qian's palm: "Brother Zhou Qian, this is for you."

This was the reward for her and Lin Xuefeng's help in collecting the bones. Huaiyu felt that it was well deserved.

She also found a beautiful brooch in the shape of a butterfly inlaid with tourmaline. Because it was too flashy, Huaiyu decided to keep it for herself.

"What do I need this for?" Zhou Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You forgot that we had a bunch of broken diamonds in our original car, all for the crow and the gray magpie."

Huaiyu thought for a moment and said, "But none of them are as pretty as this!"

Those were loose diamonds, but these are inlaid with platinum and have a sense of design. They can even be made into ring faces with a little modification. Huaiyu said seriously: "If you have a girl you like in the future, you can give this as a small gift to make her happy!"

"Look!"

She picked up the golden incense box in front of her chest: "When Lin Xuefeng gave me this, I was very happy!"

Zhou Qian looked at Lin Xuefeng. Although he didn't have anyone he liked yet, he was still a step behind when it came to making others happy.

He sighed and put the cufflinks back into his pocket.

"So are you guys going to explore tomorrow?"

Huaiyu shook his head: "No, there are still some things inside, but they can be bought in the market, so I won't disturb them."

"While we wait for the tree cocoons to heal, let's go get some meat to eat! It will be difficult to buy meat when we get home."

Lin Xuefeng thought for a moment and said, "It's convenient."

He smiled slightly, and said calmly under Huaiyu's urging eyes: "Area 55 of the Rose Corridor, if you can quickly climb over it, or let it open a door like Xiaoyu did, you can go all the way along the edge of the forest and directly reach the tributary of Yuntian Lake."

After a pause, he added: "The same road I took when I came here."

Wow……

Huaiyu instantly became happy! "There aren't many edible prey in Sanqing Mountain. It takes a lot of effort for us to eat meat every time. We have to go to the highway intersection to buy it! It would be great if we could hunt by ourselves!"

"Sure." Lin Xuefeng said casually: "I'll take you with me then."

Huaiyu was also happy: "Brother Zhou Qian, take a rest, then we can play something new together!"

What could Zhou Qian say? He originally wanted to say that it was still dangerous to take Xiaoyu hunting, but if he and Lin Xuefeng couldn't protect her, they would be useless.

He endured it again and again, trying not to glare at Lin Xuefeng, and finally responded silently.

Because I have no worries, the period after dinner becomes a rare quiet time.

Lin Xuefeng sat by the fire. Compared to yesterday's gloom and indifference, he looked unusually calm and composed today, which made Zhou Qian's tense heart relax.

He hoped that Xiaoyu would be happy. Those who carried too heavy things were not suitable to appear in front of her.

And now, no matter whether Lin Xuefeng is pretending or has let it go, as long as he can keep it up, it will be all good.

At the very least…

Zhou Qian stared at his legs, slightly absent-minded.

He couldn't bring Wu Yue back with his own strength. Only with Lin Xuefeng's help could Huaiyu really get rid of his anger.

He thought about it and suddenly asked, "Xiao Yu, if the spores of the elm yellow mushroom get on someone, and the person has very strong abilities, can you handle it?"

"Deal with what?"

Huaiyu was just taking out a large bag of melon seeds from her bag and trying to stir-fry them in the hot pan. When she heard this, she didn't take it seriously: "No matter how powerful the superpower is, what does it have to do with plant growth?"

The wok was already hot and there was a slight smoke coming out of it, and Huaiyu poured the melon seeds into it. The crisp sound was particularly pleasing to the ear.

"Like Lin Xuefeng, unless he freezes all his blood again, he can't stop the spores from growing. Besides, they are very cold-resistant."

After she said this, she realized that Lin Xuefeng's palm trembled slightly, so she quickly threw down the spatula, held his palm with both hands, and looked worried:

"Are you thinking about the days when you were frozen in ice again? I didn't do this analogy well. I won't do it again next time."

Lin Xuefeng took a deep breath, then slowly smiled, and put his other hand on Huaiyu's palm, and said solemnly: "Okay, thank you Xiaoyu for your concern."

When he said this, his eyebrows and eyes were lifted and relaxed, and he was obviously in a very happy mood. The slight tremor brought by the painful memories soon dissipated without a trace under the drive of this emotion.

Zhou Qian looked at the two of them and couldn't help but lean over and stir the food in the pan vigorously with a spatula.

"The melon seeds are getting mushy." He said expressionlessly.

Huai Yu took back his hand and said angrily, "These are all raw melon seeds. How could they become mushy so quickly after being put into the pot?"

“Really?” After two days of contact with Lin Xuefeng, Zhou Qian’s expression now seemed a little innocent: “That’s because I was too nervous. After all, I gave the spores of the elm yellow mushroom to Wu Yue.”

“?!!”

Now it was Huaiyu's turn to widen his eyes: "You gave it to Wu Yue? How did you give it to him?!"

Zhou Qian thought about that time, and the strange thing was, maybe it was because he had been with Huai Yu for too long, her carefree and happy appearance every day, so that the despair, pain, resentment and unwillingness he had felt at that time seemed to be shrouded by a layer of gauze at this moment, and there was no such intense emotional conflict anymore.

So he also said slowly: "That's it. The mutant persimmon tree stabbed him twice at the last moment, and he was rushed to the medical cabin."

"But the more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became. When we finally said goodbye, I kicked the medical cabin over, and when he came out, I kicked him again."

After a brief silence, he added: "The garrison tried to stop him, but failed."

These words caused the entire fireside to fall silent.

Lin Xuefeng didn't believe that the garrison troops who couldn't even stop him were really trying to stop him.

Huai Yu looked at him in surprise, and then, as Zhou Qian became increasingly uncomfortable, she couldn't help but lean over and hug his arm:

"Brother Zhou Qian! You've been so nice to me!"

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

Zhou Qian immediately moved his shoulders uncomfortably: "Speak properly..."

But the words were spoken so softly and lightly that they were not convincing at all.

Huaiyu didn't care! "You were so respectful to him at the beginning, calling him General Wu and bringing him into my house. When he did something bad, you tried your best to make up for him and said good things about him..."

She is very petty and remembers all of this.

However, this rigid Zhou Qian, who was usually very well-behaved, actually took advantage of Wu Yue's serious injury and unconsciousness to use the elm yellow mushroom to attack...

Huaiyu was so touched! But Zhou Qian's face looked very embarrassed as she brought up the past. At this moment, he could only clear his throat: "I'm sorry, I didn't know at the time..."

"I never blamed you!"

Huaiyu let go of her hand, sat up straight, and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Okay, I did blame you a little bit at the beginning. But then you were so sincere in building a house for me, so I couldn't bear it... But now, Brother Zhou Qian, you have given so much for me..."

She said solemnly: "I will definitely treat you better and better in the future! I will never let you work like that again."

"Oh." Zhou Qian didn't seem to appreciate it: "Because you have one more person working for you, right?"

Huaiyu: ...

Her emotions disappeared at this moment. Looking at Lin Xuefeng, he also looked lost and depressed. At this moment, Huaiyu seemed to be a poor child who had to choose between his father and mother.

She thought about it, then stood up and swore to the sky: "I will be good to both of you!"

But the next moment, a faint smell of smoke rushed into the nose.

She exclaimed, "My melon seeds!"

This is really confusing.

Fortunately, after a quick stir-fry, I found that not many melon seeds were burnt, so it was not a big problem. Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Next time when frying melon seeds, don't talk about such important things."

But now that I have said it all, I might as well finish it.

She then asked, "So? The spores fell on him, and they didn't disinfect him, but just stuffed him back into the medical bay?"

Brother Zhou Qian’s life was hanging by a thread at the time. Even if the hatch was only opened occasionally, he would still have to do some treatment after being soaked in chemicals.

Zhou Qian paused for a moment before reacting: "Yeah, I didn't do it."

Huai Yu was silent for a moment, then suddenly threw himself into Lin Xuefeng's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and spoke with a trembling voice coming from the place of contact:

"Lin Xuefeng, are these the guards you have been leading? They are fine!"

Lin Xuefeng also laughed out loud: "It's not that the garrison is good, but you, Xiaoyu, you deserve to be treated like this."

He thought for a moment and added, "The garrison troops are indeed excellent."

"I know." Huaiyu let go of his hand: "They were protecting me at that time!"

Zhou Qian also nodded: "This car, including the many supplies and things in the car, were all prepared by them. When we go back, we must sincerely thank them."

"Okay!" Huaiyu became happy when he thought about the elm yellow mushrooms growing on Wu Yue's body, and he couldn't wait to go home.

"There are no good conditions here right now, so the elm mushrooms won't be happy when they grow."

"But when we get back, I'll build a small shed for it and let the big elm mushroom pick a mushroom to wake it up, so that we can know Wu Yue's situation!"

"Brother Zhou Qian, never say you are incompetent again. Your current cooperation with the elm yellow mushroom is super super awesome!"

Lin Xuefeng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can't the medical team clean up the growth of this yellow elm mushroom?"

Huaiyu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

"But the spores are so small, so light, and so dense that they will hide in the skin, pores, hair, and blood. Unless his entire body of flesh and blood is completely replaced, it will be difficult to stop the spores from growing, right?"

However, it is not without disadvantages.

Huai Yu sighed slightly: "Once the spores grow into mushrooms on a person's body, they will be easily discovered. Those mushrooms may not survive until they grow old, and will be picked before they emit new spores."

"So it's very likely that after those spores have grown, he will be fine again."

What a pity, he can’t keep growing.

But Lin Xuefeng quickly grasped the point: "Growth requires nutrition, and nutrition also depends on flesh and blood?"

Huaiyu nodded: "Yes! Blood, nutrients, and the regeneration of wounds... all are fine."

Lin Xuefeng paused, then burst into laughter, and then rubbed Huaiyu's hair: "Xiaoyu! Well done!"

Looking at Zhou Qian again, he praised sincerely: "You are all amazing!"

Huaiyu's cheeks were flushed, and at this moment, the corners of his lips curled up proudly. He continued to stir-fry melon seeds and said, "You forgot, you taught me not to give small people a chance to turn the tables. But no one taught Wu Yue, so you see, we are small people in his eyes, and he got his comeuppance!"

Lin Xuefeng suddenly frowned: "With his personality, he should not be able to make a careful plan to take the credit - who is helping him to turn the tables when he became famous?"

Here we go! Good night.
