Chapter 246 Mutated Fruit Tree
Lin Xi was driving fast on the highway. The ground in H City was very flat and the driving was stable. The trees on the roadside had grown very tall, with lush branches and leaves, and there were mutant sparrows chirping on the branches.
Luo Jinbei was cleaning the house. The fruit trees in the yard had no thorns to block the rain, and they had all mutated. Although they could still bear fruit normally, the color of the fruit was very strange.
The apple trees surrounding the villa were full of blue apples. The apples were no smaller than the red apples, but they were covered with thorns and looked like poisonous apples.
Other fruits such as cherry tomatoes and strawberries also turned purple, and the fruits grown on the remaining fruit trees in the yard were all cool colors.
Seeing a handsome black car parked in front of the villa, Chen Yueliang, who was making lunch at home, ran out with a look of surprise, "You guys are back?"
Luo Yunjin was frightened by the fruit trees as soon as he got out of the car.
It seems that the other fruit trees in H City, nourished by the gray rain, are not as horrible in color as my own.
"Xiao Jin! Let me tell you, after you left, the fruit trees all mutated, but they still bear fruit normally. I saw zombies and mutant animals picking up fallen fruit and eating it with gusto, and they seemed to have no aftereffects." Chen Yueliang said, "I ate that cherry tomato, it was edible, but it had a slightly fermented, sour taste."
Luo Yunjin looked at the messy fruit trees in the yard, feeling a little hesitant.
She could feel the vitality from them, but these fruits always gave her a weird feeling.
Especially the blue apple, the more she looked at it, the more wrong it seemed. She even thought she was color blind.
"It's edible. The mutated fruit is rich in nutrients. People with special abilities can increase their special abilities by eating it. Although ordinary people can't eat it in large quantities, eating a little bit can also strengthen their bodies." Lin Xi picked a black orange, peeled the orange skin, revealing the dark purple flesh inside.
Luo Yunjin remembered that there was a description of mutant fruits in the original book, but it was not introduced in detail. Mutated fruits were very rare. The original comic said that there would be only one mutant fruit tree in ten fruit trees.
But her yard is full of mutant fruit trees.
This kind of fruit tree is different from the mutated small orange tree hiding in her space. The small orange tree has consciousness, while these mutated fruit trees are just mutated fruits and have no awakened consciousness.
She took the orange that Lin Xi handed over and ate a slice.
The taste is a bit like blueberry, with an orange aftertaste, it is very juicy, and does have a slightly fermented taste, but it's not unpalatable.
And after eating a small piece of the fruit, she felt that her supernatural powers seemed to be slowly growing.
It seems to have the effect of replenishing supernatural powers, and has a similar effect to the crystal core.
Unexpectedly, after losing the Tree of Life and the mutated thorns, these fruit trees still have other fortunes.
"Let's pick all the ripe fruits quickly. Many fruits were knocked down by the rain. It's such a waste." Luo Yunjin also released the little tabby cat and the little leopard cat in the space, and everyone picked fruits together.
Two-thirds of the fruit trees in the orchard were burned by the previous fire, leaving only one-third. In the end, only one-fifth of the one-third survived and were able to bear fruit.
Although it wasn't much, I still managed to collect ten large baskets of fruit.
"Let's take these fruits at home to the market and sell them tomorrow. We should all work hard to advance." Luo Yunjin stared at the full warehouse with satisfaction.
"I, I, I, I also activated my superpower!" Chen Yueliang raised her little hand. "The day before yesterday, when I was cooking, I didn't want to fetch water, so I thought it would be nice to have water. Then, water appeared from my fingers. It seems like I have a water-related superpower."
"That's great. Our family is short of water-type mutants. We'll exchange some more water-type crystal cores tomorrow, and you can upgrade yourself as well!" Luo Yunjin was also happy for her. Now everyone in the family has mutants.
In this troubled end times, superpowers are really important.
Chen Yueliang stretched out her fingers excitedly, and a few drops of water dripped from her fingertips.
Luo Yunjin: ...
Ten seconds later, Chen Yueliang took a mineral water bottle cap of water.
"The condensed water in you seems to be a little less, but it's already very good. There will be more after you advance." Luo Yunjin was ready to comfort her.
"Huh? I used to think I had pretty good abilities. Yesterday, I only filled a bucket of water in an hour, and I didn't feel tired at all. I was full of energy. Then I kept filling the bathtub while I slept." Chen Yueliang pulled up her sleeves, revealing a few blue scales. "Jinbei said I might have a mutated water-related ability."
Luo Yunjin thought of the mutant mermaid he had saved before. That person had a mutant water ability and would turn into a mermaid as long as he advanced.
"I think it's great. If I can turn into a mermaid, I can work in an acrobatic troupe in the future." Chen Yueliang has always felt that she is useless. Now that she has awakened her special abilities, she feels that she has to do something big.
"As long as you're happy." Luo Jinbei leaned the mop against the door and complained.
Although they had been away for half a month, the villa was well maintained by the two of them. The thorns were gone, and they simply built a fence outside with branches, which looked quite nice.
Most of the zombies and mutant animals living around here are docile and friendly.
Give them some fruits and they will help watch the house.
Because they came back by flying car, which was much faster than Luo Yuanting and his group traveling by water, it was estimated that it would take them two or three days to get back.
Luo Yunjin took a good bath and then lay down in the warm bed.
It’s still more comfortable to sleep on the bed at home.
Perhaps it was because her supernatural powers had been consumed too much during this period, she was more sleepy than usual, and needed to sleep longer and longer every day.
I woke up naturally the next morning, but when I looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was already past one in the afternoon.
That means she slept for a full 14 hours.
When I went downstairs, my steps were still a little weak. Although I had enough sleep, I was still very sleepy and dizzy.
"Let's go out and set up a stall. It's hard to sell fruits if they are not fresh." Luo Yunjin saw that everyone was sitting in the living room on the first floor picking vegetable leaves, so he interrupted them.
"I went to see it this morning. It's still very fresh. The weather is cold, so the fruit can be preserved for a long time. We can go again in two days. You should go and have a rest. I made some red dates and white fungus soup." Chen Yueliang said with a smile.
Luo Jinbei also advised, "Yes, there is no need to rush."
Lin Xi walked up to her and ruffled her hair, "Your eyes tell me that you are very sleepy!"
He gently picked up the girl and carried her back to her room.
As soon as Luo Yunjin touched the pillow, he felt extremely sleepy. "I've been feeling really weird lately. I've never been like this before. I'm very sleepy. I think I'm sick."
Lin Xi rummaged through the bedside table and pulled out a long packaging bag. "You might be pregnant."
Luo Yunjin's eyes gradually widened.
She thought about how she'd recently been sleepy, had lost her appetite, and was often half-hearted. Her IQ seemed to have dropped, too. The Central Base had taken the Tree of Life, destroyed her orchard, and severely injured Thorn, yet she'd forgotten to ask for compensation.
He even used his supernatural powers to save many people in hibernation chambers for free.
My brain just doesn't work as well as it should.
After considering all the factors, Luo Yunjin picked up the pregnancy test stick without saying a word and ran into the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later, she walked out slowly under Lin Xi's expectant eyes, her steps light and her face distraught.
"I'm really pregnant." She handed the pregnancy test stick to Lin Xi to take a look.
"It's our child!" Lin Xi was not surprised at all. He had started to suspect it when the girl felt unwell.
Luo Yunjin: (πーπ)
Lin Xi: (≧▽≦)
"I'm not ready yet, and there are no hospitals now. What if I can't give birth? I'll have to have a caesarean section. What if there's amniotic fluid embolism? Oh my God, without prenatal ultrasound, I don't even know if I'll give birth to a deformed baby. QAQ!" Luo Yunjin trembled all over when he thought of a series of terrible things.
Lin Xi:......
"By the way, we don't know whether there is reproductive isolation. Let's find a high-level vision-enhancing psychic to help us take a look. Isn't Zhong Lingmei one of them? I wonder if she can see through things..." Luo Yunjin began to think anxiously.
Lin Xi was speechless, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
"Men are all pigs!" Luo Yunjin was very angry. "I remember you used a small umbrella, why is this happening!!!"
"That one is a bit too small." Lin Xi's ears turned slightly red.
Luo Yunjin glanced at his lower abdomen with an indescribable look.
Help!
Luo Jinbei was just guessing at first, but he didn't expect it to be true.
He and Chen Yueliang stood outside the door, looking into each other's eyes.
Chen Yueliang looked excited, "You're going to be an uncle!"
Luo Jinbei couldn't be happy at all.
Seeing Lin Xi coming out to serve soup, he looked him up and down with a sidelong glance. "Hey."
Lin Xi held the hot porcelain bowl in one hand, "What's wrong, second brother?"
"Tsk, the name changes so quickly." Chen Yueliang whispered.
"When are you going to marry my sister? Even though it's the end of the world, there can't be no sense of ceremony at all. We have no shortage of crystal cores at home." Luo Jinbei felt a little regretful that he couldn't give his sister a perfect wedding in the end of the world.
Lin Xi was slightly stunned. "Yes, it's time to prepare. Don't worry, second brother, I will definitely give Xiaojin the best wedding."
Luo Yunjin heard their conversation in the room. "I don't want to marry you!"
Luo Jinbei: ???
Lin Xi opened the door and said, "You can only marry me."
"I won't!"
Luo Jinbei looked surprised. "So, Xiaojin, you don't like Lin Xi? Who do you like? There are indeed a lot of stray cats in the house. No matter who you like, second brother supports you."
Lin Xi was furious. "I won't allow it! Who is it? Which little bitch do you like? Who seduced you?"
Luo Yunjin was shocked. "..." She covered her belly. "I don't want to get married. We can do without the ceremony. This way I won't be a middle-aged woman anymore!"
Lin Xi's expression softened. "Jinbao, it's the end of the world now, so there's no need to register. I just want to let certain people know that you're marrying me."
Luo Jinbei also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his sister was pregnant with Lin Xi's child, but was going to marry another man with the child.
"You guys discuss it, we're going to go clean up." Chen Yueliang pulled Luo Jinbei away, leaving them some space to get along.
Luo Yunjin was still in a state of loss and hadn't come out of it.
"If you're worried, we can find a machine. Qi Chi is good at manual labor, so he can do it. He can definitely find a doctor too, so don't panic."
Luo Yunjin sighed deeply. "That's not what I'm worried about now. I'm worried that there aren't any suitable baby care products at home. Besides, it's the end of the world now, the environment is harsh, and the baby's resistance is low..."
"I'm also a little worried about my health. Will I become a yellow-faced woman?" She touched her face. "Will I get fatter and never lose weight again? "
When she thought of this, she felt unwell.
Lin Xi was speechless again. "No matter what you become, I still like you."
"Ah? You mean, I'm really going to become ugly in the future?"
"No, no, no, you are always the most beautiful." Lin Xi wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.
The girl is particularly talkative and noisy today.
"You'd better not go out. Write down the prices of the fruits and I'll take them out to sell."
"That won't work. I can't just sit there and do nothing. I still need to exercise more. I'll go out with you guys. Besides, I also want to drink Gu Xixi's milk tea." Luo Yunjin narrowed his eyes.
Lin Xi looked at the lazy girl helplessly, turned into a kitten, jumped to the head of the bed, and lay down beside the pillow.
Luo Yunjin got the soft little kitten, grabbed it and kneaded it.
"Hey, you're losing a lot of hair." Luo Yunjin grabbed a handful of cat hair.
Lin Xi didn't expect that he would reach the shedding period so soon. During this period, the kitten would be like a walking dandelion.
Luo Yunjin quickly threw the cat aside and said, "You'd better leave. I don't want to choke on cat hair."
Luo Yunjin, who liked soft cats but hated cat hair, leaned on the pillow and fell asleep soon.
24 hours a day, 20 hours are spent sleeping...

Yuan Xiaoni soaked the last piece of dry steamed bun in hot water and made a large bowl of batter.
"Brother Li, we have no food left." She took out the last two bottles of mineral water and one-third of a bottle of watermelon juice.
Li Heng has been waiting for the system to release the task, but he has not received any response, which makes him very confused.
The system seems to be dead and won't respond no matter how I call it.
In the past two days, many survivors have moved into the container.
They all escaped from floods and zombie hordes. Those who were able to escape alive were either extremely lucky or very powerful.
But City H does not intend to take them in.
These people also lack supplies.
However, among them there are people with water-related and planting-related abilities, and they can barely survive.
Among the five survivors who had returned with Li Heng and Yuan Xiaoni, three were people with planting abilities. They could grow vines or use hidden seeds to grow edible tubers.
Therefore, they are the ones who suffer the most.
There was neither water nor food.
In just two days, Li Heng lost a kilogram.
"Brother Li, we have crystal cores and can exchange them for some vines and water." Yuan Xiaoni took out the healing crystal cores that Li Heng gave her from her backpack. These crystal cores are used for advancement.
"No, this is for you to keep for promotion." Li Heng refused without thinking. No matter how poor he was, he didn't need to rely on a woman for support.
Yuan Xiaoni has been troubled enough these days.
"It's okay. The superpowers can be upgraded later, but without supplies, we will all starve to death. It's not worth it." Yuan Xiaoni ran out holding the cloth bag containing the crystal core and holding a broken umbrella.
