Chapter 24
"Can you give me this chance?"
Fu Erdie's heart was pounding.
He wants to stay, and she needs his abilities. It would be great if they could hit it off right away! "I will try to trust you." Facing Sang Wenhao's serious gaze, Fu Erdie also expressed her true thoughts, "I hope we can be long-term partners."
Sang Wenhao said affirmatively: "It will be."
Fu Erdie raised the corners of her lips and extended her hand: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
After dinner, Fu Erdie washed up and returned to 15-1 to prepare for bed.
It is late November now, and the temperature is over 20 degrees. Wearing long-sleeved pajamas and covered with a blanket, you can sleep comfortably.
That night, Fu Erdie no longer looked at the dog and Luluo to relieve stress, and fell asleep easily.
Early the next morning, she got up, put down the seeds she had kept overnight, and went up and down the stairs for her routine exercise and inspection.
After completing the inspection, it was half past five and it was still dark outside, so Fu Erdie went to study the seeds.
I checked the green radishes one by one and made sure that there were no changes in the seeds of the experimental group.
However, two of the seeds in the control group placed in the house on the 16th floor showed mutations.
One of them is rice. Once the rice is planted and bears fruit, she will have the delicious rice she loves to eat!
Another is bamboo seeds.
Fu Erdie thought it could be planted in the community garden.
After the apocalypse, the soil was polluted, half of the vegetation died, and the remaining half looked sickly. Planting bamboo can make the community look less desolate, and you can eat bamboo shoots from time to time.
Therefore, the experiment on whether seeds rely on houses or on the mutation of butterflies has reached a preliminary conclusion - it relies on the house.
Fu Erdie did not stop the experiment immediately. The temperature was about 20 degrees Celsius now, and it was no problem to wear a long-sleeved sweatshirt every day with a packet of seeds in her pocket. She planned to continue for a while, as long as she was careful not to bring the seeds up to the 16th floor when she went back to wash and eat.
At seven o'clock, Zhang Dongxuan got up to make breakfast. Fu Erdie handed the rice to her and also gave her the subsequent planting work.
Because he had to go out, Sang Wenhao was worried about it and woke up early, waiting for dawn to go out.
There are two roads next to Senyu Community. One road is the main road in the city, one leading to the city center and the other leading to the university town. Sang Wenhao came from this road.
The other road is a long uphill branch road. After a relatively empty and desolate uphill path, you will arrive at Qingfan Town, a relatively large residential area halfway up the mountain.
There are residential areas, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, shops, and everything that is available at the foot of the mountain. There is also a villa area, not the kind of particularly luxurious large villas, but stand-alone small villas.
In the Senyu community where Fu Erdie lives, many farmers like Zhang Dongxuan, who have lost their land, start farming on the wasteland that continues uphill between the Senyu community and Qingfan Town.
She planned to take a look around the fields uphill from the community first.
On November 21, she finally left the community for the first time in half a year.
The air was obviously similar to that in the community, but her psychological effect made her feel it was very pungent and unpleasant, as if she had returned to the beginning of the apocalypse and was forced to watch rotting corpses.
She walked forward expressionlessly, and someone grabbed her wrist.
Turning his head, he saw Sang Wenhao picking up a large piece of broken iron sheet from the ground. After a while, the iron sheet melted, deformed and reorganized into a long metal ribbon with rounded edges.
He put one end of the metal band around his own wrist, and the other end of the metal band around Fu Erdie's wrist, like two connected wristbands.
"Go forward. If there's any danger, I'll hold you back."
Fu Erdie nodded, and the tense nerves in her heart inexplicably relaxed a lot.
There were not many people on the wasteland, and the few farmers who turned into zombies were killed by the metal spikes thrown by Sang Wenhao before they could get close.
Fu Erdie felt the subtle pulling force of the metal band on her wrist and walked towards the place where she remembered there were chickens, ducks and geese.
After walking for ten minutes, I passed two chicken and duck pens, but didn't see any chickens or ducks.
Continue forward and you will reach the corner of the mountainside.
From this position, you can see the situation on the main road. There are a lot of zombies, wandering around aimlessly like old men.
Further away are tall and short houses and factories.
A little further away is the Li River, which is very familiar to people in City C.
Wait, the water level of the Lee River has gotten this high?!
Fu Erdie took out a telescope and looked carefully, comparing the houses and buildings that she was familiar with before with the current situation. Suddenly, she found that the small teahouses and restaurants that she used to stay in by the river were now only left with a roof! Sang Wenhao: "The water has indeed risen. When I was in the university town, I would go to the river to fetch water every once in a while. Every time I went, the river water would rise a lot to both banks."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Fu Erdie: ...
She knew that the high temperatures in the summer would last for such a long time that the ice and snow would melt and the sea level would rise. However, she had no intuitive understanding of this because her vision was blocked at home and in the community.
It was not until now, seeing such an exaggerated rise in water, that she realized the seriousness of the matter.
City C has many mountains, and the river does not seem as wide as the downstream, but it is very deep and has a large water flow.
In this case, every meter of rise in water level is a huge high tide and means flooding downstream.
Fu Erdie frowned.
Her parents live in H City, not in the lower reaches of Li River, but in the lower reaches of Ning River!
It is impossible to focus only on the rising tide of Li River, the Ning River is also dangerous.
Fu Erdie could hardly stand.
She had always thought that her family had escaped, and that her parents were the safest place. However, while she was still enjoying herself at home, thinking about the messy plans of farming and raising chickens, her parents might have already...! Calm down, calm down...
Fu Erdie took a deep breath.
What can she do now? If her parents encounter a flood, will they think of coming to her?
No, the villa they rented might be flooded, and they certainly didn't have the energy and time to run so far.
The nearest relatively high mountain to the plain where they were was Tingshan. But Tingshan was a tourist attraction with many people, and it must have become a zombie den, so my parents would not go there.
In addition to Tingshan, there are some large and small hills nearby, but they are all very small hills. They dare not bet at all whether the small hill where they are located will be flooded after the ice and snow melt completely.
Do your parents have a kayak or a speedboat? If so, can they get out of the flooded area and onto the shore and find a car?
Fu Erdie's arms were covered with goose bumps due to trembling.
Oh, right. Map! When communication was briefly restored at the beginning of the apocalypse, her mother asked her to save the route to their small villa in H City on her phone or tablet, and print it out as a backup. And they also saved the exact same route!
Maybe my parents are on a hill somewhere along this road! (End of this chapter)
