Chapter 306 305. Protecting the Innocence of Children

The rest area is indeed worthy of its reputation.

While cooking, Huaiyu took a walk around and found that the plants around him were indeed well-behaved, obedient and emotionless.

Although there are many species whose shapes have become strange after mutation, and some that grow in a messy way with heights, they have no intelligence and just silently separate this area into a thick isolation zone.

It is said that any disputes and conflicts are not allowed here in order to ensure safety.

Huai Yu took a look and couldn't help but took out a melon seed from his bag: "Brother Zhou Qian, can I plant sunflowers here?"

Xiaokui's seeds were tested at the doorstep, and the sunflowers grown were tall and shiny, but they were not as thoughtful as it was. They were just ruthless flowering machines, and were even reluctant to produce seeds.

In short, Xiaokui's family is very guaranteed to produce melon seeds, but the melon seeds produced by Xiaokui itself are all of this quality.

Zhou Qian thought about it and nodded, "Plant the plants in the woods, not on the edge of the rest area. Maybe someone will come in a few days."

Although it is so eye-catching that it can be spotted even if planted in the woods, the fact that it is artificially planted or grows accidentally can always confuse people.

Huai Yu nodded, then quickly went into the sparse jungle and found an even more sparse location.

You can just use a small shovel to dig a hole, it doesn't have to be very deep. With the help of your ability, the tiny melon seeds will quickly break out of the shell and sprout tender green leaves.

Then everything seemed to be accelerated.

The young buds grew rapidly upwards, the branches and leaves on both sides stretched symmetrically, and the prickly hairs on the leaves were particularly dense. Zhou Qian was checking the oil drums on the carriage, and he couldn't help but stop and watch for a while.

Superpowers are truly magical.

Driven by Huaiyu's ability, the growth and transformation that would have taken a long time to develop now happened before his eyes in an instant.

The small shells of sunflower seeds have long been covered by soil and roots, and the thin roots penetrate deep into the soil, absorbing the rich nutrients and water in the ground.

The branches on the ground became thicker and thicker, and finally they were as thick as an adult's arm! The top was more than twice as tall as the ordinary trees next to it, and facing the bright winter sun without any cover, it revealed the strange yellow flowers that reflected and flashed like metal sheets.

Zhou Qian looked at her for a few more seconds and felt like crying.

Then he looked around and confirmed that the reflection was scattered. As long as Xiaokui Benkui was not there, the reflected sunlight would not burn a hole in the area in front of him.

Otherwise, if a fire happened in the wilderness, it would be a sin.

It's just... so shiny.

If you see it while driving in the jungle, it may affect your vision.

He opened his mouth and was about to suggest that the flower be trimmed a little, but when he saw Huai Yu standing under the tree, gazing up at the tall, huge flower earnestly like a girl in a fairy tale, he swallowed his words back.

"I've thought about it."

Sensing Zhou Qian's gaze, Huai Yu returned happily and then made a decision:

"From now on, I will plant a sunflower like this in every area I pass through! When we reach the center, we have to plant them densely and closely. This way, even if we can't find the correct route, at least we won't get lost."

Zhou Qian couldn't refute this at all.

He raised his hand and looked at the communicator. There was no signal at all. The various abnormal magnetic fields in the jungle affected all communications and satellites. Therefore, a reliable signpost was indispensable.

He just asked patiently: "Did you bring enough melon seeds?"

“I brought it!”

Huaiyu patted his bag and said, "I brought everything."

I brought a bag of sunflower seeds and a big bag of roasted seeds. I left 20 small sunflower seeds at home and brought all the others.

Zhou Qian nodded, agreeing with her idea.

After using his special powers, Huaiyu soon became hungry, but the meal was ready soon. The two sat opposite each other and ate heartily, without any sense of vigilance or anxiety as they were in the wilderness.

While Zhou Qian secretly reminded himself that this shouldn't happen, he also heard Huai Yu curiously ask, "Brother Zhou Qian, they said that Wu Yue will enter from C9 area - how is C9 area divided?"

Zhou Qian picked up a branch and drew a simple picture on the ground next to it:

"There are large flat areas in the wasteland, which were completely invaded by plants. So its area is about one-third of the current national border, and it is in the very center."

In short, the main food-producing areas have been occupied.

At the same time, the edge of the wasteland is connected to a dozen cities, each of which has different area divisions.

"Area C9 is one of the areas that we have been advancing in Huacheng. It starts from the outermost area C1. The division of the territory is determined by the mutant plants encountered during the initial advancement."

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

"You also know that strong mutant plants will divide their own territories. Every time we clear an area, it means that we have to clean up that creature. Therefore, the initial area division was formed in this way."

So they are not of a specific area or a specific distance, they just keep pushing deeper and deeper.

But the deeper you go, the stronger the mutant creatures become.

And the disturbance in the forest is getting worse.

In the situation deep in the wasteland where fire is restricted, fire coverage is not allowed, and military supplies are difficult to transport, six years after the disaster, about 1/3 of the area is still completely unexplored.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qian added: "Our Flower City has the Rose Corridor as the starting and ending point. In fact, the initial exploration is relatively easier."

Huaiyu listened to all this quietly.

She loved what Zhou Qian said, because she had not experienced the difficulties and risks involved firsthand, so it felt like a fairy tale dream.

Aren't all young adventure stories like this? The difference is that the characteristics of the mutant creatures currently revealed in this wasteland are more interesting than adventure stories.

The weasel that farts, the dandelion that loves to grow, the magpie and crow that like everything shiny...

She didn't hide the expression on her face, and Zhou Qian knew what she was thinking at a glance -

In fact, if we go further forward to C9, there is also a group of Gray Magpies, but what they are good at is to extract the bones of broken arms and limbs to build a solid nest.

Fortunately, they cleaned them up the second month after their last encounter with spiders.

However, generally speaking, the journey before the cleared C9 area was risk-free. So Zhou Qian did not repeatedly emphasize the hardships at this time.

When he was fighting hard on the front line as a member of the defense force, wasn't it this kind of childlike innocence that he wanted to protect the most?

Update 1. I locked myself in a small dark room, and after I switched to a new book, the word count was recalculated, and I couldn’t get out…

Finally finished writing it!
