Chapter 50 Can I see your cage?
In the severed rhizomes of the dandelions, strands of web-like cotton threads are tangled together.
The green juice in the silk thread dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling sound.
The juice is as corrosive as dandelion seeds.
"It was cut off manually." Lin Xi said calmly, "Also, all the seeds from the flower shops and seed shops in the flower and bird market nearby have been taken away."
"Maybe he is also a person with planting ability?" Luo Yunjin took the grass roots from his second brother zombie's hand and found that he could not induce growth using his ability.
Lin Xi found a shovel in the shop next door and cleared the snow where the grass roots were found before. He could see dried black blood and many plant stems in the soil underground.
On the snow, all traces were covered by the falling snowflakes.
The second brother zombie squatted down and sniffed the black blood, then took a breath of air.
It looked toward the unfinished buildings to the west.
The concrete house was not yet fully built, there were no doors or windows, and all the openings were covered with snow.
"Puff...chi...hei" the second brother zombie spoke in bird language and ran towards one of the concrete houses.
Luo Yunjin jumped off Lin Xi's back and stepped on the snow. "Let's follow."
She wore a thick tiger-head hat and gloves, and a bulky cotton coat, looking like a penguin.
As you approach the cement house, you can see signs of life inside. Wooden boards are placed in the positions of the doors and windows on the third floor, and there are many footprints on the stairs on the first floor.
"Someone lives here." Luo Yunjin found the wrapping paper of the spicy strips he had just eaten at the entrance of the stairs on the first floor with the door open.
Before they could even get to the door, they saw a dirty boy lying outside the iron door on the second floor, staring intently with chili peppers stuck to the corners of his mouth.
"Who...are you?" He stuttered.
The boy's fingers were twirling the old cotton coat he was wearing. His hair was dry, yellow and rough, but his cheeks were plump, indicating that he had never been hungry.
"Little boy, are you living here alone?" Luo Yunjin took off her fluffy scarf, revealing her clean and pretty little face.
"And my mother and a pet." The boy said while sucking his finger. He was not shy at all and was not afraid of seeing his second brother zombie drooling at him below.
"What about your mother?"
"She went out to find food for Xuanxuan." The boy took out a fresh orange from his pocket and peeled it and ate it.
Luo Yunjin was tempted. The orange looked like it had just been picked from the tree.
Lin Xi pulled her behind him and shook his head at her.
"There are seeds here." Lin Xi found a lot of plant seeds scattered on the ground in the corner of the wall on the first floor, as well as packaging bags, but these seeds had long since died from dampness.
"They are all orange seeds." Luo Yunjin saw that the packaging bags had pictures of orange trees and children's graffiti on them.
It seems that the child's mother is very likely a plant-based mutant.
"Dandelion!" The boy suddenly pointed at the grass roots in the second brother zombie's hand and shouted.
He ran upstairs and brought down a pot of dandelions.
"These are the dandelions my mother raised, but they were stolen yesterday." The boy said a little frustratedly, "Xuanxuan loves these little dandelions. The cotton wool on them can be used to make small pillows and quilts."
At this time, a ragged woman with a huge backpack on her back landed on the ground, holding the vines. She looked at the few people warily, especially the fourth-level zombie.
"You stole my dandelions?" She saw the grass roots in the zombie's hand and looked unfriendly.
"No, no, no, we are here to find out who spread these dandelion seeds into our house. This mutated dandelion is very corrosive and has corroded my osmanthus forest." Luo Yunjin saw the vines the woman was holding.
This vine was larger than what she could condense, and it was obvious that the other party's ability was higher than hers.
"So you are the people with superpowers living in that villa area." The woman saw that the two men were clean, especially the tall young man. She couldn't tell the level of his superpowers.
"There are quite a few scattered psychics in H City who haven't joined the base. You've taken up the best land in the suburbs, and some people are bound to be jealous. These scattered psychics are all very strong, so strong that they can ignore those strong ones in the base."
Luo Yunjin nodded in understanding.
With such strong strength, of course they don’t want to be restricted by the base or other safe zones.
"I did plant this dandelion to protect my children. I didn't expect it to be stolen last night. I'm surprised that the person didn't steal the supplies or other plants, but instead took this newly mature dandelion."
"I understand. Thank you for telling me this." Luo Yunjin had a little liking for this woman who raised a child alone.
Although she seemed to have taken the seeds from every store in the suburbs.
But she will not let go the bad guy who destroyed the osmanthus forest she planted with great effort.
Lin Xi had been standing quietly beside the girl. "You know that thief, right?"
The woman's expression was a little unnatural for a moment, but it quickly softened. "I don't know who it was. He climbed up to my floor from the roof."
"He must be a scattered psychic hiding in the city. He's above me in rank. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sneaked into my house without me knowing. I broke into the third and fourth floors of this building and planted a lot of vegetables, fruits, and mutant plants."
Lin Xi snorted lightly, "That psychic is upstairs." He said in a positive tone, "I can sense that there is another fifth-level psychic in this building."
Luo Yunjin squeezed his big hand, looking puzzled.
Is it so awesome?
However, people with abilities of the same level can indeed sense each other.
"Mom, the little pet wants me to open the cage." Xuanxuan, the boy who had been watching the children eating oranges, said, and he took out a silver key from his pocket.
"Don't open the door, Xuanxuan!" The woman looked ferocious.
"I originally thought you were at most fourth-level esper, but I didn't expect you to be on par with him. He did take the dandelion, but half of his arm was also corroded by the dandelion seeds."
"You came here simply to ask for seeds. I'll give you as many as you want. Let's just leave it at that. We're all just trying to survive the apocalypse. Besides, you weren't hurt, only a few trees died."
Luo Yunjin suddenly realized and blurted out, "I know, you are in love!"
woman:? ? ?
"You don't even know that person, but you want to cover for him. Are you in love with him? He's locked in a cage, so exciting!" She could already imagine a million-word novel in her mind.
"Is he good-looking?"
Lin Xi's forehead was beating like a well, "Luo Yunjin!"
"What are you doing? I'm just asking. I think it should be pretty nice. Can I see what your cage looks like? Even a fifth-level mutant can't escape. I want to make one too, hehe~"
Lin Xi gritted his teeth and asked, "Who do you want to put in the cage?"
Beep beep, is there a cute little duck catching insects?
————————
The kitten was locked in a golden cage.
The girl was wearing a black leather jacket and holding a small whip in her hand.
The little kitten turned into a human and wore a cat doll suit. It was shivering with tears in the corners of its eyes.
The girl waved the whip casually: No one will come to save you even if you cry your throat out!
