Chapter 12
But it’s not a big problem.
Not to mention the 48 packets of instant noodles that have not been touched, the kumquats on the balcony have also ripened.
Other fruits, potatoes and sweet potatoes planted last month are still growing well.
The crops have had some changes, all for the better. The seedlings are growing fast, the trees are growing tall, and the kumquat trees are laden with fruit, each about the size of a small orange.
Fu Erdie estimated his appetite and thought that if he ate sparingly, three or four pieces a day would barely fill his stomach.
She picked a dozen ripe kumquats, ate one, and put the rest in the refrigerator, taking them out when she was hungry.
Fu Erdie hopes that the other vegetables and fruits she planted can also mature soon. It would be great if the food grown in the balcony flowerbed alone could fill her stomach.
But there is no bottom line after all. She has not figured out the principles of mutation of houses, plants and crops. So far, she has only seen the good side, and the side effects or the price to be paid are still unknown.
She no longer wanted to be tortured by nightmares and wait for death.
Want to survive. Want to find a way out.
She tied her hair into a bun for easy movement, put on the tattered clothes that she had washed after being torn, picked up the hammer, wrapped up the keys, and walked out quietly.
She was on the 16th floor, and there were eight floors above it, with ten households on each floor. The staircases were divided into main staircases and secondary staircases.
Fu Erdie scanned the floor first.
16-2 She often went in and out, and she also kept the spare key of the front door in case of emergency.
For the other households whose doors were broken, she went in directly to inspect them, moved all the usable items to the doorsteps, and carried them all home.
The gate was not broken, and Fu Erdie did not try to destroy it, so he just skipped it.
In fact, these people's homes all had some food stored. But when the zombies went in and took a look around, many things were unconsciously knocked over and destroyed. There was nothing visible that could be used, so she could only search through each cabinet one by one.
There is nothing bad, such as rice, flour, grain, oil, salt and sugar, a lot of them can be found.
Especially in the homes of some elderly people, they have more rice stored.
Fu Erdie took them home one by one.
The rice was infested with bugs, so the green radish put its small green branch into the rice and stirred it. Soon, the bugs were wrapped in agate and flew away, swaying in front of Fu Erdie.
Fu Erdie couldn't help laughing and touched the leaves of the green radish.
"Thank you, little green radish."
The "little green radish", which was already taller than Fu Erdie, rubbed Fu Erdie's hand gently and was very happy.
In addition to moving edible food, Fu Erdie also moved six flower pots.
Actually there were supposed to be seven, but the seventh floor vase was so large and heavy that she couldn't move it.
She put five of the flower pots together, scattered various known and unknown seeds that she found in the house, watered them, and waited for them to grow freely.
There was a small flower pot left, so she picked it up and squatted next to the "environmentally friendly green plant": "Are any of you willing to come in and help me go out to work?"
The other environmentally friendly green plants had no time to react before they were pushed aside by the huge green ivy.
Its big leaves fluttered into Fu Erdie's arms, and a root nimbly stretched into the pot. Then the whole house began to shake, and it seemed that more roots were about to break out of the wall.
Fu Erdie:!
Fu Erdie quickly stopped her: "Good Green Rose, this family can't live without you! You have to protect our family!"
Green ivy was stunned, and then drooped in frustration. The room returned to its peaceful state.
Fu Erdie was helpless, but also found it amusing, and hurried to comfort him.
Her target was the spider plant that was squeezed pitifully next to the green ivy.
Chlorophytum is almost the same size now as it was before the apocalypse, making it a complete “younger brother” among the “environmentally friendly green plants”.
Fu Erdie guessed that the main force in helping to clean the house and absorb garbage and debris was the green ivy, but other green plants also had this function. It was just that they were at a disadvantage at the beginning and had no chance to grab what Fu Erdie regarded as garbage and they regarded as nutrients, so they had to shrink here.
She had almost finished cleaning the sixteenth floor, but there was one room she didn't dare go to because it was too smelly.
She was sure that there were dead people or zombies inside, which were now rotting in the high temperature and perhaps had turned into a pool of rotten water.
She really didn't dare to go in to check the situation, and wanted to try whether there were any mutated green plants willing to join her in the cleaning process first.
Without the strong competition of the green ivy for favor, other plants began to compete with each other.
Each of them was slapped by the green ivy... No, one leaf of a green plant (? ) interrupted the pecking of the chickens, pulled out a potato seedling in the flower bed by its roots, and put it into Fu Erdie's small pot.
Fu Erdie was stunned.
No, it turns out that uprooting can be so rough and complete?
Fu Erdie noticed that the potato seedlings pulled up by the green ivy were not the best-growing nor the smallest in size, but rather an ordinary seedling that was neither big nor small and very inconspicuous.
The moment the seedling entered the small pot, it shook happily, and its intact roots grabbed on all at once.
This is actually a mutant potato seedling that is similar to an environmentally friendly green plant and has subjective initiative! Fu Erdie was shocked! She was a little bit unbelievable, but she still brought the potato seedling to the door of the house with a strong stench and put the potato pot down.
The moment the potato landed on the ground, it slowly and laboriously stretched out its roots and went into the room.
Fu Erdie didn't want to see it.
Because she knew that she would have nightmares and feel nauseous and want to vomit if she saw the scenes inside.
But she was indeed curious about how the potato sprouts would be cooked.
So she went to the door and looked inside.
The next second he went back to the corridor and retched.
The corpse inside no longer looked human, with various organs scattered all over the ground, obviously torn apart by zombies.
His hair, scalp and eyeballs were staring straight at the door, as if he was looking at her, or at every passerby in this world.
She retched for a long time.
This is the end of the world, she should adapt to it.
Thinking of this, Fu Erdie turned around and looked at the scene inside again.
But soon, she rushed out again.
The stress reaction caused her to tremble and vomit violently.
The kumquats I ate in the morning were vomited out along with stomach acid, and my entire esophagus was burning with pain.
Her face was covered with tears and snot. She tore off her tattered sleeves to wipe them off and threw them on the vomit to cover it up.
He stood up and moved towards the room for the third time.
But she suddenly found that something was pulling the back of her clothes. Turning around, she saw the familiar green ivy.
A small green ivy leaf stretched to the limit of its reach and pulled her clothes.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It’s as if to say, “It’s okay not to face it, we are always here.”
Fu Erdie felt that all the tears she had shed over the past twenty years had dried up in the past two months.
But just now, and now, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Thank you." She touched the leaves of the green radish, "It's great to have you."
The green ivy understood and rubbed her again, then slowly turned yellow and withered. From the leaves to the green branches stretching out far away, all withered and fell off due to lack of nutrients, turning into a long line.
Fu Erdie watched this scene and learned a piece of information.
The green plant, or green ivy, can understand her words, can tell the status of each plant on the balcony, and can accurately judge her intentions. It is very, very smart, but its roots are at home, in that house.
It might be able to spread out, but it didn't have enough energy right now. It could only stretch out a tiny branch, and that was the best it could do.
The same is true for this potato.
It is weaker than the pothos. Its rhizomes spread very slowly.
They were all trying to survive and to help her.
She also needs to overcome her fears and take them to places they can't go.
Fu Erdie tore off the other sleeve and tied it around her eyes.
She gently picked up the potted plant, supported the fragile roots of the potato seedlings, and walked into the room along the wall.
The stench at the tip of your nose and the sound of mosquitoes flying around are so irritating to your nerves.
The bites from unknown mosquitoes are more itchy and painful than usual.
But she still groped her way forward, no matter what sticky things she encountered. Based on the scene she had seen inside the house before, she came to a place not far from the corpse and put down the potato sprouts.
The moment she put it down, she seemed to touch something sticky and soft that was wrapped around bones.
Her arms froze, but she still put down the potato sprouts steadily, stood up again, turned around, walked a few steps away along the wall, took off the cloth from her eyes, and ran back to 16-1 as if escaping.
She took off all her clothes and shoes, threw them on the ground, and rushed into the bathroom to shower.
"Don't think about it. Don't think about it."
She brainwashed herself, using hot and cold water alternately to wash away the touch just now.
Dead humans and humans with special powers seemed to scare her more than the zombies themselves.
She wanted to take a long bath.
But the water, electricity and gas in the house are all obtained through a strange energy conversion between the green ivy and the house, and she doesn't want to waste any more.
After coming out of the shower after ten minutes, she sat on the balcony holding the dog, surrounded by the fresh scent and color of the green ivy, and she gradually calmed down.
What followed was the excitement of overcoming fear and accomplishing something big.
She decided to make a bag of instant noodles to celebrate for herself.
But I seem to have forgotten something...
What is it?
Forget it, it doesn’t matter!
The achievement of overcoming fear that I unlocked today is the most important thing!
To be honest, after two months of eating pickled vegetables and white rice, Fu Erdie had had enough. Now a little instant noodles obviously could not satisfy Fu Erdie's heavy taste. She tore a bag of instant chicken breast and ate it with the instant noodle soup.
Emmm...it tastes a bit strange.
She finished her chicken breast properly, and was reluctant to pour out the instant noodle soup, so she drank it down with sips.
The cell phone was playing soothing music, and only the dim night light was left in the house, making it quiet and comfortable.
I had a happy sleep and watered the crops on the balcony as usual the next day.
Fu Erdie suddenly realized that she had forgotten something.
Potato sprouts!!! The clothes I wore yesterday have been thrown away by Fu Erdie and treated as garbage.
But in the ten days of fighting zombies, she had ruined seven sets of clothes. These clothes were what she would continue to wear when she worked and did hard labor, so let's call them beggar clothes for the time being.
Fu Erdie put on tattered beggar's clothes and quickly went to the room where Tu Dou was.
