Chapter 5 5. Materials for building a house

The 600-acre land of the Rose Mansion, and the small hills near the Sanqing Mountains have long been cleared by the alien plant defense army, leaving only small saplings that have not mutated.

From a distance, it looked like a bare boiled egg with a few hair stubbles standing on it.

On the flat lands farther away, the grass sprouts were sparse and not as tall as the tenacious weeds growing in the ruins of the city.

Huaiyu strolled back and forth in the vast territory that belonged to him, and found that the water in the pond was clear and transparent, and he could see the bottom at a glance. There were only some insignificant water plants and small fish in it...

I don’t know how the army managed to make these mountains and waters so safe.

She looked at the towering Sanqing Mountain, which stretched out in the distance.

That was where he woke up. Strange and steep rocks stood there, surrounded by all kinds of mutant plants, stacking up another kind of wonder that was different from the strange rocks.

Looking up at the mutation value sensor beside him, Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh in frustration and muttered slowly: "The Alien Plant Defense Army has something."

…

But before she sighed, she still had to think about how to shelter the house from the wind and rain.

But there was no material around. Even if she removed the bricks and stones from the foundation, she didn't have the ability to add mud and build the beams.

After much thought, we still have to rely on the land for our livelihood.

She walked forward along the rose corridor, passing by a flat building in the distance. There was a sentry post at the door, which seemed to be the base of the alien plant defense army.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the sign for Area [8].

The defending troops said that there was some unusual movement here yesterday, and it was most likely when they were passing through.

Looking around at some familiar traces, Huaiyu finally curved his eyes, then stretched out his fingers to gently stroke the leaves, and said softly: "Be careful, help me open the door, don't get caught."

After thinking for a moment, she added politely, "Thank you."

The branches in front of me began to rustle, and soon they parted to create a passage that was wide enough for one person to pass, just like yesterday morning.

When the elm tree grows out, the branches wrap around and cover it again, leaving no trace.

Leaving the city, the mountains in front of her seemed to be her home. The vague roads in the forest had long been covered by various plants. Huai Yu shuttled among the branches and bushes and weeds, but her expression was comfortable as if she had returned to her home.

But...she has no home now, so she has to find materials to build one herself.

So before she had walked for long, she set her sights on the twisted and tangled vines in the woods.

In early spring, the temperature on the mountain is relatively low, and only small bulges with buds can be vaguely seen on the vines in front of us. But if you ask what kind of plant it is, you probably can't tell from this perspective.

But Huaiyu hesitated for only a moment before choosing immediately: "Purple flowers! Wisteria! I like them! Come and build a house for me!"

Although the vine in front of him is called a "vine", the main trunk rooted in the soil is four or five centimeters in diameter. The soil and rocks on the mountain are solid, and the roots are deep. Huaiyu held the trunk with both hands and pulled hard.

However, after a long time, there was no movement.

Instead, her palms were a little red.

“…”

But she did not feel frustrated. She simply followed the branch forward, pulled to the thin vine at the front that had not yet grown thick, and then reached out and broke it.

“Crack!”

It didn't take much effort to break off the thin vines, and soon they were gathered into a bunch. Huaiyu didn't stop until the whole tree was plucked bare except for the main stem, and a small bunch was gathered on the ground.

She hummed a random tune, looked around, and then became confused again.

"We have the beams, but where are the tiles?"

After thinking it over, he went deeper into the mountains.

…

The environment covered by dense forests is humid, cool, rustling, and filled with the sounds of insects and birds.

Everything seemed to be no different from before the disaster.

But only Huaiyu knew the difference.

As she traveled through the mountains, she could sense the vitality of all the plants sprouting.

Spring is such a great season! After walking for a long time, among the many trees and vines of various colors that were just beginning to sprout their furry green leaves, Huaiyu finally found a tall tree.

It is different from others of its kind and seems to be a little mutated, so it should be easier to talk to.

Although the leaves are no bigger than a finger now, she has been looking for it for so long, and this is the only kind of leaves that can grow to 30 cm wide!

Unfortunately, the sycamore tree was very tall. She looked up for a long time, and seeing that the other party was unmoved, she could only groan and hug the trunk:

“Please!”

The branches high up rustled twice, and it took a long time before a branch stretched out.

Huai Yu struggled for a long time before finally catching the branch. Then he closed his eyes and exerted force.

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

"Um--!!!!"

Her face turned red, and the little bit of supernatural power that had just recovered in her body slowly surged, making her gasp for breath due to exhaustion.

But fortunately, tender buds sprouted quickly on the branch in front of me, and the entire tung tree had already stretched out many large leaves in layers!

Lush green, especially beautiful! She pulled the leaves off one by one, the "crunching" sound was particularly fascinating. She broke off all the leaves and piled them up in front of her, then let go.

The next moment, the branches that had been trying to grow downwards quickly retracted, as if they could no longer bear the disturbance.

Huai Yu didn't mind, he just stared at the hill of leaves for a while, then found some thin and flexible vines in the woods, and slowly intertwined them one by one.

She was a little unfamiliar with this job, but fortunately she could do it after some tinkering. So when the sun was at its highest point in the sky, she had obtained a large vine net with uneven holes.

Fortunately, the tung tree leaves are not picky. After gathering them all in, you can just fold the four corners and drag them away.

The trees on the mountain were still well-behaved, and they made way for him. After Huaiyu put the wisteria vines into the net bag, he even found a tall pine tree.

"It's Pinus armandii..."

Huaiyu was a little happy. Like Korean pine, the pine nuts of Chinese pine are edible! So she patted the trunk and asked, "Are there any more pine cones?"

He was a little out of breath while speaking.

She had been communicating with so many trees today that it was actually a bit difficult - which was strange, since she should have been pretty good at it.

But it doesn’t matter, maybe he just woke up and he will be fine after some rest.

Just as this thought flashed through my mind, I heard a few "pops" and large pine cones fell from the branches. They were obviously the ones that the squirrel had escaped.

"One, two, three, four... twelve in total!"

They are all quite big!

Huai Yu happily put the pine cones into the leaves, and to prevent them from falling through the gaps, he piled the leaves in the middle.

She looked around, and finally pulled out a handful of flexible vines.

Okay!

All the materials for building a house are here! 　Good luck with the new book! Today's 10,000-word update is finished! There won't be so many more next time, because there are no more drafts.

Thank you for your support. I won't ask for votes this month, but please support me next month! Thank you very much!
