Chapter 4 4. Alien Plant Defense Force

"No." Huaiyu said generously: "My contribution score is zero! They also gave me soybeans and nutrient solution, and the 600 acres of Pavilion 1 of Rose Mansion were also given to me!"

As she spoke, she smiled with satisfaction, and under the flashlights on the soldiers' shoulders, her face, which was covered with dust and sand, looked particularly satisfied.

At this moment, everyone was silent.

The contribution score is zero, which they should look down upon.

But the other person looks like just a spoiled and ignorant little girl. Before the disaster, she was probably still preparing for the college entrance examination.

Everyone slowly put away their guns and asked, "Have you been here all night? Is there anything unusual nearby? People? Animals? Or plants?"

Huaiyu thought about it and answered affirmatively: "Only me."

She was so determined that everyone started laughing, and after a while someone said, "I just checked, and there is nothing unusual in the entire area."

"Don't be careless. There was a slight fluctuation in the corridor variation value in Area 8 this morning. It didn't reach the alarm value, but it happened twice in one day. We can't be careless."

The leading soldier made a gesture, and everyone slowly gathered together, preparing to turn back.

After taking two steps, he turned around again and asked, "Where are you staying tonight?"

Huaiyu pointed to the brick and stone ruins and said, "Here! There's a wide tunnel inside! It's a little warmer than outside."

She was very satisfied; this was much more spacious than that tree cocoon!

The soldiers were silent.

Because the "tunnel" in front of them was clearly the foundation of the Rose Mansion. However, it was only the foundation.

But the military zone will never allow outsiders to enter or leave, not to mention that the disaster has happened for many years, and everyone should be responsible for their own choices and actions.

With zero contribution points, he chose the largest allocated land. This was the other party’s choice.

The group returned in strict discipline. Huaiyu stared at the car going away with envy: "I want it too."

Then she turned her head and looked at the rose corridor again. The thorns on it were still ferocious, and the flowers were still soft and fragrant.

"Why are you so easily excited? I'm going to stay away from you tonight - don't tremble, don't tremble! If you are really excited, then go and drive away the mutants in the wasteland. Anyway, you are not allowed to make trouble here."

She kept on talking, her voice was soft and had no deterrent effect at all.

"There are not even any pine needle leaves here, and the bricks on the ground are too hard. I can't sleep well. Can you drop some flower petals for me?"

It was quiet all around.

But in the rose corridor, the branches were growing rapidly, and the unopened buds were also growing and swelling desperately.

Finally, it bloomed with a "pop".

Thousands and thousands of flowers bloomed at the same time, making sounds one after another in the silent night.

Then, a breeze blew up from somewhere, blowing through the rose corridor. In the night wind, pink petals covered the sky and flew in the air, and then piled up at Huaiyu's feet.

"Fuck..."

Someone driving a car not far away looked over in shock, his face under the helmet was dull.

Huaiyu was a little annoyed...she didn't even notice someone coming.

But the other party was stunned for only a moment before quickly driving closer - a few years after the disaster, the romantic rain of flowers in front of them was obviously only equivalent to a crisis.

But this is the Rose Corridor, which, together with the surrounding Sanqing Mountain natural barrier, helps Huacheng block the enemies in the wilderness.

The flowers it bloomed... well, even if they bloomed a little too much, the other party didn't think the petals and the spring breeze had anything to do with Huaiyu. He just quickly came over with the package and said, "Don't get too close to any plants, not even the rose corridor."

"Also, this is the sleeping bag our captain requested for you. Take it. It's early spring now, and you'll get sick if you sleep on the ground."

Huaiyu took it blankly, and after a moment he thought of the whole day's experience, and suddenly showed a soft and sincere smile:

"Thank you, brother. You are so nice."

The other party paused. It was obvious that the girl who was like a little sister called him "brother" in a soft voice, which made him feel proud.

But zero contribution points...

He regained his senses, thought for a moment and then said, "Little girl, the country is in a state of disrepair right now, and all walks of life need manpower. You should grit your teeth and work hard, and stop wasting your time like this... Otherwise, you really won't have enough to eat."

After saying that, he turned and left, then returned and took out a bag filled with flower petals: "The Rose Corridor has had three abnormalities today. I'll take the flower petals back for testing. Since you chose this place, be careful."

After he left, silence returned to the surroundings, except for the rustling of branches in the rose corridor, which was obviously not very happy.

Huaiyu looked at the pink petals piled up like thick quilts at her feet, and said softly, "Okay, okay, we have sleeping bags but the ground is still hard. I was thinking of using you to pave the tunnel, but now... at worst I can just put the sleeping bag on top!"

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

…

After a few grunts and a half of tidying up, the maroon sleeping bag was filled with flower petals and then poured into the tunnel.

Huaiyu carried the petals one by one until the square tunnel was finally filled with the fragrant petals. Then he spread out the sleeping bag and crawled into it.

"Wow! It's so comfortable lying like this!"

She sighed, looking at the sky that was completely blocked by bricks and concrete, and suddenly realized: "Hey? Why did the Rose Corridor listen to me?"

And... why can I always feel the vitality stirring in the bag of soybeans I brought back? She pondered in her sleepiness and finally came to the conclusion: "It must be because I am so amazing that I can have such a skill... Indeed, although I can't remember clearly in the past, I am sure that I am so amazing."

In the rich fragrance, her body and sleeping bag were slowly wrapped by pink petals, and then gradually fell down.

…

The next morning, Huaiyu woke up to the sound of radio broadcast.

[Today is March 19, 2066, Thursday, sunny. Due to the typhoon in coastal cities, our city is expected to have rainy weather next week, please be prepared...]

[Spring rain brings prosperity to all things. All departments need to be more cautious in their work to prevent changes.]

[Last night, the mutants in the third prison rioted. Currently, one person is on the run. Residents, please...]

The broadcast came from the loudspeaker on the tall pillar last night. Apparently, in addition to sensing the variation value, it also serves as a communication tool.

But, it's too close and a bit noisy.

Huaiyu crawled out of the maroon sleeping bag, but the fragrant flower petals around her had withered overnight into withered brown and yellow dry petals piled up all over the ground, looking very ugly.

She sighed and realized that making the bed with flower petals was not a long-term solution. She had to find a safe place to sleep.

But look at the vast foundation in front of you... No matter how solid and flat the masonry structure is, it is built underground. It can be used as a shelter and a shelter from the wind, but if it rains heavily, the entire foundation will be soaked into a small ditch...

Huaiyu didn't want to wake up in the morning and find himself floating on the water.
