Chapter 59
No one else has such a desire to survive.
Granny Zhang put away the two intact eggs, and was reluctant to throw away the one that fell on the ground. After all, floors 14 to 18 are all within the boundaries of the house, and both the walls and floors have self-cleaning and self-repairing capabilities, so the ground is not dirty.
Grandma Zhang picked up the broken egg, rinsed off the thin layer of egg white on the outside, then broke the egg and poured the remaining egg into a bowl.
Before the house could clean up the dirt on the ground, the plants that had been following Fu Erdie had already taken the initiative and sucked up the egg liquid.
Since the big yellow chicken had such a strong desire to survive, Fu Erdie didn't kill it. Instead, he used his supernatural powers on it to feel its mutation.
Whether it is a superpower or an intelligent mutant like Green Radish, they all have an energy space under the superpower of Fu Erdie. Generally speaking, the more powerful the superpower or intelligent mutant, the larger the superpower space.
On the contrary, if it is a piece of meaningless wood with no energy space, then Fu Erdie’s supernatural power cannot sense the receptor and cannot be input or penetrated.
Nowadays, people and animals have some mutations. Even ordinary people without special powers can have mutations, good or bad, because of drinking some polluted water or eating some polluted food.
However, the amplitude was so slight that Fu Erdie could not feel it. Even if she felt it carefully, it would not have a significant impact.
This characteristic allows Fu Erdie to judge the degree of mutation of the mutant. She used her supernatural power on the big yellow chicken and immediately determined that it was an ordinary mutant, a bit like a dog. Although it was mutated, it did not deviate from the category of animals in the conventional sense. Even though it was smarter than ordinary mutant plants and could understand the owner's words to a certain extent, it could not accurately identify details and could not learn to read and write.
But this is already good, because it can produce fruits every day like those ordinary mutant crops under Fu Erdie's conscious control. Of course, the big yellow chicken here produces eggs.
While Fu Erdie was using her powers, the big yellow chicken laid two more eggs, using up its limited energy. After Fu Erdie replenished it, she did not continue to "exercise" it, but went to cook with the two freshly baked hot eggs.
There are now more than a dozen people in Building No. 7, instead of the two or three people before.
Fu Erdie and her family, a total of five people. The team of superpowers from H City is five people. Adding Grandma Zhang, Sang Wenhao, Cen Xiyang, Han Zhi, and Zhang Guya, a total of fifteen people.
With more people, plus many people with special abilities, the demand for food becomes even greater.
Freshly baked eggs were used to make tomato egg drop soup for everyone to taste. If they wanted to eat meat, they had to open cans of luncheon meat and ham.
The supplies they have now are from Building No. 7 and the two buildings cleared out nearby, plus when Fu Erdie passes by some food processing factories on the road, he will take a detour to look for some goods, and there is no more.
She was not stingy and took out a box of canned food for everyone to eat.
Not to mention her grandmother and aunt, even she herself was eating meat products for the first time since the end of the world.
The steam rising from the hot pot on the table formed a layer of vapor inside the winter window.
The city outside was desolate and lonely in the mist, and it was still gloomy despite being a relatively sunny afternoon.
In the window, people gathered together and enjoyed the brief joy of having their appetites satisfied.
Grandma, aunt, parents, and Zhang Guya and Grandma Zhang sat together, all very close. The superpower team from City H sat together, occasionally talking about the customs and situations of different places and the situation since the end of the world, and sharing their experiences with each other. Fu Erdie, Sang Wenhao, Cen Xiyang, and Han Zhi sat together, and the conversation among peers was also very lively.
At the beginning, everyone was still forming small groups, intentionally or unintentionally, but Fu Erdie's parents were the kind of people who often went out to do business and interact with people. They took soda instead of wine, changed positions from time to time to clink glasses with the five superpowers, and chatted with Sang Wenhao and Han Zhi. Soon, several groups of people were brought together and became familiar with each other.
After the meal, Fu Erdie cut some watermelon as dessert and distributed some potato chip puffs for anyone who wanted to eat.
Of the three people who came back this time, my grandmother and my aunt lived in 16-6. When my cousin came back, he also lived in 16-6, which officially filled up the entire 16th floor. Zhang Guya lived with Zhang Dongxuan.
This was decided by Grandma Zhang after she asked Zhang Guya for her opinion.
"We both have the surname Zhang, we're both from City C, and we both have no family, so let's live together and be each other's family." Zhang Dongxuan held Zhang Guya's hand lovingly, "In the future, it will be more convenient for us to work together, take care of the chickens and plants, cook meals, and do things together, which will make the work much easier."
Fu Erdie naturally agreed and took the opportunity to clarify the division of labor for everyone.
First of all, the kitchen needed more people to take care of the food for fifteen people, so Auntie, Granny Zhang, and Zhang Guya were responsible for that. They not only had to cook, but also had to pick the ripe fruits of the common mutant plants from the 14th to 18th floors every day, store them and record them, and water and feed the chickens.
Mom and Dad have to do various logistical work such as various reception tasks, compiling material lists, and recording daily food storage and consumption.
The technical department includes Zhao Shansi, Zhuang Licheng, and Pan Feizhou.
The team of superpowers is led by Fu Erdie and consists of Sang Wenhao, Cen Xiyang, Han Zhi, He Xuan, and Ye Jia.
Although we have introduced ourselves to each other, it was just a brief acquaintance. Today is the first day we have been officially organized together, and there are still many things that need to be adjusted.
So after three hours of hearty meals, emotional exchanges, and a short afternoon nap, Fu Erdie began to make follow-up arrangements.
"Professor Zhao, the small power station in the community mainly relies on lightning and wind ability users. To build a power station based on this, it may take a lot of people to do experiments and a lot of manpower." Fu Erdie looked at Zhao Shansi, "You can compile some lists and give them to me. I will negotiate with the D City base. In the beginning, for the convenience of management, I will not let too many people come. We are not in a hurry, we can do it bit by bit."
“Secondly, in addition to the power station-related stuff, we also need to build a water pump on the roof.”
Before the end of the world, delivering water to high-rise buildings has always been a very important part of the water supply and drainage project. Generally, pressure pumps are designed and installed according to the height of the floors to force the water up step by step.
However, this arrangement is based on pumping water from the ground. If Fu Erdie wants to ensure that Building No. 7 can use water even if the house is not in Building No. 7, he can directly build a water pump on the roof and store water in it. When Bai Guang wants to leave with Fu Erdie, everyone can use the stored water to ensure daily washing, instead of having to use only buckets at home to store water.
The construction of a water pump involves the reconstruction of the water supply and drainage system, which should be arranged according to the pipeline drawings of the property. If the pipeline drawings are lost or not clear, professionals are needed to find the location of the water pipes and make reconstruction judgments.
"The third thing is the transplantation of common mutant plants."
In the past, ordinary mutant plants could only be grown in the area of the house, and the planting space was very limited. There were so many places and so many buildings in the community, but they could only plant the intelligent mutants of tomatoes and cucumbers sparsely and leisurely, and then whether they produced or not depended on their mood...
If these ordinary mutant crops can be transplanted out and fill up this small area, the daily grain output will be very considerable.
But the problem now is that without the nourishment of the white light in the house, the activity of ordinary mutants will be greatly reduced. And they need to be watered regularly and have a demand for light, just like the plants before the end of the world. If you want to plant in places where the sun doesn't shine much in many buildings, it is not enough to just select shade-loving crops, but also be prepared to simulate sunlight with lights.
This goes back to Fu Erdie's previous request for water and electricity in the community. Without water and electricity, the supernatural person would be exhausted from going up and down every day to water and light the house.
Professor Zhao was obviously very clear about the connections and nodded as he wrote them down one by one.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The fourth thing is our combat training plan for psychics and the plan to lure zombies into the community."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Even ordinary people, including Granny Zhang, were suddenly shocked.
In the end times, good infrastructure will make people live better, but the premise of life is to be alive. Only when the superpowers in the team are strong enough can everyone's life be guaranteed.
"Let me first tell you a guess about myself," Fu Erdie took out the ability detector, put his hand on it, and showed everyone the display value without any fluctuations, "I should be a non-attribute ability user."
She asked Professor Zhao to replace the attributeless crystal core on the detector with a crystal core of any other attribute.
Fu Erdie put her hand back on it and input her supernatural power.
The reason why the attributeless crystal core can detect the strength of other people's supernatural powers is because it can absorb supernatural powers of other attributes.
The red crystal core currently in use does not have this ability, but Fu Erdie can actively inject his supernatural powers into it to create fluctuations, and then trigger changes in the detection device.
This time the value is revealed.
Level 4.
Those who knew the current classification of psychics all gasped and looked at Fu Erdie with burning eyes.
Fu Erdie raised her hand and signaled everyone not to get excited.
"Just like how zombies without attributes cannot defeat other zombies and psychics at the same level, I am a level 4 zombie, so I am actually level 3 at best."
And she is not even as good as the third level. After all, when there is no one around to assist her, she is just a strong psychic, probably similar to the second level power system.
But other people don’t know. Under Fu Erdie’s guidance, they don’t think of Fu Erdie as a support, but think of her as a strong person who possesses both support and plant-related abilities. Even if her attack power is not strong, she is very powerful.
Fu Erdie did not reveal the details on purpose. Except for Cen Xiyang, Han Zhi and Sang Wenhao who had to cooperate with her in the subsequent training battles, no one else knew the details.
"Although I can perfectly absorb crystal cores of every attribute, my demand for crystal cores and other things is also very large." Fu Erdie said, "For example, the plants I spawned with my supernatural powers are actually equivalent to individuals with different attributes. If they want to grow, they must absorb enough nutrients. The nutrients here include all kinds of garbage, as long as they are not particularly strong things like stones, cement, and steel. The daily cleaning of buildings and communities also relies on the plants that I mutated."
Fu Erdie winked at the plant cubs who were watching the fun nearby and slowly raised her hand.
The next second, the plants that had been pretending to be well behaved rushed over and stuck to him. On the surface, it seemed that they were being controlled by Fu Erdie to stick to him, but in fact...
Sang Wenhao, who was standing next to Fu Erdie, could clearly see the roots, branches, and vines pulling in all directions, trying to pull other little friends down, so that he could be the first one to get into Fu Erdie's palm.
Sang Wenhao: “…”
Fu Erdie couldn't help but twitching his eyelids, and his voice was stuck for a moment.
