Chapter 394: Vegetation Surrounds the City



After seeing the retrospective images shown by Su Su, Qin Xiaoxia now believes that the Caslopa world might really be the place favored by the Medland Law as once said.

No matter how many times the earth has suffered from mutant invasions, there is at least one thing Qin Xiaoxia is certain of.

That is the world he lives in. The power of this world should have a special devouring ability, and his own magic power actually has similar properties to some extent.

Perhaps other worlds have similar abilities, but Earth is clearly superior.

There are examples of world fragments or special items from the outside world falling into other worlds. There have been similar records in the magic pattern data collected by Dawn, but it is unheard of for the Earth to directly swallow up the fragments of Hell.

If this happened on other worlds, the most likely scenario would be that an environment similar to the fragments of hell would be created at the point of impact, forming a new dangerous zone or landscape.

Perhaps it is possible to rely on living beings to eliminate it artificially, but it will take a long time for the world to purify itself. Even if such an environment eventually disappears, it will be an insignificant thing for that world, at most just like washing away some dirt.

But on Earth, the valuable parts of the Hell Fragments, along with the assimilated Fire Demon, were directly "digested". As for the worthless parts, the Fire Demon's pile of loose graystone was reluctant to be thrown away.

As far as Qin Xiaoxia knew, Norton also transported the pile of ashes to a super base.

Yes, the 19th Organization Department specifically asked the Dawn Association privately whether the body of the Fire Demon was useful. The Dawn’s answer was that it was useless, but they just didn’t throw it away!

"Teacher... the brisket is getting cold..."

Su Su tried her best not to sound aggrieved in her reminder, as she did it in the midst of a busy schedule, and Doudou snatched away most of the pot.

"profound……"

Qin Xiaoxia felt a little embarrassed. This was the first time that Sister Su cooked in front of him, so he should give her some face. At least her cooking was better than Doudou's.

He picked up a spoon and tried it, but unexpectedly, the taste was very good. It could be said to be the best pea beef brisket he had ever eaten.

I really didn't eat much these days, so a big bowl of delicious food was finished in just a few minutes, without even any soup left.

"Hehehe...Teacher, how does it taste?"

"Honestly, it's delicious. You're such a good cook, you shouldn't have worked at an amusement park before!"

This compliment was sincere. If it wasn't for the time when he was busy, Qin Xiaoxia would have been tempted to let Su Su cook.

"That won't do! If I hadn't worked there, how would I have met you and Doudou?"

Su Su said something serious, then left happily with the plate.

I always feel happy when I go back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"Magic divination is also very convenient for cooking~~"

Su Su rolled up her sleeves and turned on the faucet. To do the dishwashing job, she had no intention of using the power of the secret realm directly. It felt like a role-playing job.

"Hey! Su Su! Make me another pot! I'm not full!!"

Doudou ran back to the kitchen carrying the pot. He and Gou Dandan had already eaten up the beef brisket, but they insisted on eating the soup in the pot with bread hanging from their pancakes for a long time.

This busty girl is actually much better than her cousin at cooking. I've never seen her do this before. It's incredible. Doudou thinks this may be selected as one of the new wonders of the world.

Upon hearing the little guy's shouting, Su Su immediately became angry. The instructor was obviously still unsatisfied and it would be great if he could bring a pot over.

She turned around and glared at Doudou, snatching the pot from his hand.

"You still have the nerve to keep asking for more? You've already taken most of the pot, and the instructor isn't even full!!"

"My cousin, you won't die if you eat less, but I'm different! Besides, you actually used peas to stew beef brisket. Did you ask me if Doudou agreed? It's also a bean!!"

Su Su was also amused. She put the pot into the sink and put her hands on her hips.

"With what you said, what should I use to stew the beef brisket?"

"Potato!"

“There’s still a bean character in it.”

"Then you still have to give me half a pot!"

“Jiji… you’re right!!”

Gou Dandan's bird head stuck out from the window outside the kitchen. Now it was bigger than an ostrich. Of course, its appearance was very different from that of an ostrich. Instead, the bird's body had a strong feeling. Although its feet had bird's claws, its legs were as strong as those of a human.

It was no longer convenient for Su Su to hug it.

"You're such a stickler, you're helping Doudou now? Who raised you when Jiutian and your parents were away?"

"Show your magic weapon!"

Seeing that Sister Su was becoming more aggressive, Doudou was worried that he couldn't defeat her, so he immediately took something out of his pocket.

Sure enough, Su Su was stunned immediately.

"This is……"

"Authentic! This is a photo of my eldest cousin when he was 6 years old! I took it from the apartment before!! How many meals do you think it can support?"

Qin Xiaoxia above rolled his eyes and seemed to be complaining about something. His face was a little chubby and he looked very cute in a children's jacket.

priceless!!

Su Su opened her mouth slightly and her eyes widened.

"Well, ahem... in that case, it's not impossible for me to cook you another meal!"

In order to prevent Doudou from continuing to talk about bargaining, Su Su immediately changed the topic.

"But you'll have to get the fresh beef and peas. I don't have any extra stock!"

"Leave it to me! Dandan, let's go!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Doudou and Gou Dandan had already disappeared into the kitchen.

Qin Xiaoxia stepped out of the secret realm and came to the interior of the secret building outside. Just as he was about to open the old door to go out, Doudou and Gou Dandan bumped out from behind.

"Oh no! It's my cousin!" "Oh no, sir!"

It was too late for the two guys to brake and go back. There was still several meters away, but they were inexplicably pulled in front of Qin Xiaoxia by an invisible force.

"What are you two doing out here?"

Gou Dandan can use the secret realm mark on his body to make people around him ignore it, so he is not worried about being discovered. He will not restrict their freedom. It’s just that these two are the most leisurely guys in the doomsday crisis. What urgent matter could there be?

"Buy a cow!" "Buy beef!"

Doudou and Gou Dandan's statements were different, but the content was similar. Qin Xiaoxia immediately thought of the stewed beef brisket made by Su Su.

But can you still buy fresh beef now?

What Qin Xiaoxia has been thinking and researching recently can be said to be at the high-end technical level that the entire World Alliance is most concerned about. Because he planned to go out and verify some changes based on the pictures shown by Su Su, he happened to go and take a look with Doudou and the others.

If you want to explore the laws of natural order, going to the deep mountains and old forests is not necessarily intuitive, because the situation there has been exaggerated for a long time, and the comparison is not very intuitive. It is more appropriate to go to the familiar Qingzhen area.

"Then let's go together. I'll go to the market with you guys later."

When I opened the wooden door, I saw green all around outside the house. The few dead trees in the yard were covered with new vines and other green things, as if the dead trees that had accompanied the old house for many years had regained their vitality.

A little further away, patches of green trees rose from the fields, some high and some low, as if the surrounding area had become a small forest instead of the flat farmland before.

However, the density of trees is actually not too high. In front of the trees, there are rice seedlings, corn plants, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other crops. These crops are also tall and large. Although they have not yet borne fruit, it can be predicted that the fruits will be very large in time.

"Oh my god! Cousin, our house is surrounded in the forest!!!"

"grumble!!!"

Doudou and Gou Dandan had not left the secret realm for many days. When they came out, they found that the Dawn Secret Place of the old era was already covered with green trees. The weeds and trees had buried the path out. If no one looked through the green, outsiders would not know that there was a building here.

In fact, Qin Xiaoxia could also observe the outside world from inside the secret realm, but there were crystal forests, a large number of magical plants, flying creatures in the rivers and marine life in the air, as well as Jilian, the ancient monster that occupied the most sight, which was too easy to attract attention.

Now, looking into the distance, although I can still sense the surrounding villages, the sight is no longer as clear as before.

"Let's go to the market."

Taking Doudou and Dandan with him, we walked through the grass and vegetation that covered the path ahead and walked hundreds of meters before we reached the original road outside the town.

On both sides of the road, there seemed to be people spraying pesticides or clearing the grass regularly to ensure that the road surface was not completely occupied by green.

“Woo…”

A pickup truck passed by, the driver and the co-pilot were both soldiers, and there was a squad of soldiers sitting in the back. They looked alert and kept their rifles in their hands, but there was a clear sense of relaxation.

When they saw Qin Xiaoxia and Doudou, they all subconsciously looked at them, but no one spoke.

When walking towards Qingzhen Town, we saw several cars passing by. Only one looked like a private car. Even though the other cars did not look like military vehicles, they were all filled with soldiers in military uniforms.

Qin Xiaoxia thought about it and realized that they were China's military patrol posts. On roads across the country, there were patrol forces composed of soldiers moving around, with varying densities. According to a schedule he had seen before, the density on the main roads must be at least that of a firepower squad passing by every 15 minutes.

The area around Qingzhen is relatively peaceful.

Because the Dawn Headquarters is here, there are almost no monsters from other worlds around. Even if some of them come out through the randomly appearing cracks, they will be discovered by the shadows of the secret realm differentiated by the Red Banshee, and then they will be sucked in and destroyed by the secret realm that pops out.

Obviously, the army already has an internal understanding of the division of dangerous areas, so when passing near Qingzhen, one can feel that the soldiers can relax a little.

Several houses outside the town have been requisitioned by the military and turned into sentry posts or surveillance stations of some kind, with soldiers on and around them.

There is obviously a hint of popularity when entering Qingzhen. It is not as densely populated as before, and people are all in a hurry, but at least there are still market trading activities.

In the area around the original supermarket in Qingzhen, you can see military sentries every few dozen meters, ranging from three to five people. Their presence gives the people double psychological comfort, both for public security and against monsters.

Qin Xiaoxia glanced at the tall buildings. There were some individuals with steady breathing on the top of them. He didn't know if they were snipers or something else.

This is the case for a small town, not to mention big cities.

"Cousin, the meat is spread over there!"

Doudou pulled Qin Xiaoxia towards the direction where they smelled the scent, which was not the direction of the supermarket, but the original farmers' market.

Before I even got close, the bustling sounds were already echoing in my ears.

There are a lot more people here, even more than before, so it can be considered a bit crowded. The busiest places are the fresh meat and vegetable stalls.

As expected, the major countries in the World Alliance will never let the economy truly collapse, and price control is much better than expected.

"Here, here, this beef was just slaughtered this morning. We have all the parts, except the tenderloin. All are 87 yuan a pound!"

"No way, it's so expensive!"

"When the government memorandum of understanding was announced, it was already 50 yuan per pound. Now a lot of meat is supplied to the frontline troops. This price is quite affordable! I can sell a whole cow in one day!"

Not long after entering the market, Qin Xiaoxia was still observing some peas when someone came back with a large bag of peas. Even though they were tender peas that could be cooked with their shells on, they were all quite large.

"Cousin, this bag of 5 jin only costs 20 yuan."

Qin Xiaoxia paid close attention to the bargaining in the market and found that the prices of vegetables were mostly unexpectedly cheap, apparently because the output of vegetation had increased significantly and the cycle had become very short.

Moreover, unless people in the vicinity of Qingzhen really live in a residential area, most of the people in the village have some land in front of and behind their houses. Apart from concerns about safety, they should not be short of vegetables, and most of the things they buy and sell are fresh meat.

"唳~~~~~~"

A sharp strange sound was heard in the sky, and the surroundings became obviously in chaos. Qin Xiaoxia could even distinguish the "click-click" sound of the bolt being pulled among the numerous noises.

A second lieutenant was using a telescope on the rooftop of a high-rise residential building to observe the monster with a long tail in the sky. Some soldiers around him had already raised their individual guided weapons, but he was in no hurry for them to fire.

After about a few seconds, the monster in the telescope seemed to be pulled by something, flapping its wings wildly, and suddenly disappeared after a panicked cry.

"Record it. From appearance to disappearance, it takes a total of 9 seconds."

In the market below, the soldiers guarding the edge had already blown their whistles, signaling for order to be maintained.

"It's okay, it's okay. The area around Qing Town is very peaceful. I've seen a lot of this kind of thing these days. If a monster appears, it will disappear immediately. My son and his friends have spread the word that there may be a barrier near us! It's like a paradise!"

The butcher was comforting a customer who might have made up his mind to leave his home for the first time in two days.

Let Doudou take care of the shopping by himself. Qin Xiaoxia's magic power surged, and his presence in the eyes of the people around him quickly faded. Then he jumped into the sky, caught the ice spikes that reacted to the spell and stepped on them, and reached high altitudes in a few jumps.

Qingzhen and the surrounding villages seemed like points wrapped in green woodlands. Although there had been this trend when he and the Holy Spirit were wandering in the air before, it had never been so exaggerated. It was not simply about the scale, but the increasingly exaggerated natural vitality.
