Chapter 64
According to a rough estimate, there were as many as 120,000 to 130,000 zombies attracted to be strangled this time, which was considered to have cleared out all the zombies in several roads in this area.
Dandelions are growing wildly everywhere, and other mutated plants are also trying to corrode the zombies and absorb nutrients.
The bodies of those zombies whose upper bodies were still struggling and twisting slowly melted, and their brains were gradually corroded, and they became completely silent.
The sounds of claws scratching at the ground, the gurgling sounds coming from the throat and trachea, and the sounds of plants climbing and fixing themselves gradually subsided, and the outside world returned to tranquility.
The sun sets between the ruins of tall buildings, and the blue night covers the sky.
Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao did not find a place to hide, but just stayed in the box truck in the center of the square, cooking hot pot and eating vegetables, turning on the low lights and enjoying the food.
"I need to find a base material or seasoning package factory on the way, take some seasoning back, and expand the seasoning inventory."
While Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao were chatting casually, the plants outside had already killed two more zombies who had mistakenly entered the square.
It was late at night, and at twelve o'clock there were no more corpses in the square. There were only dandelions and various plants on the ground. Even the air around it became much better, and the lingering smell of blood and decay in the city was isolated to a certain extent.
Fu Erdie took out her cell phone and took pictures of Sang Wenhao and the plants. It looked like they were camping in a quiet and peaceful park at night.
Not only did she think so, but the survivors around her who finally dared to come out and look for supplies because the zombies had disappeared in large numbers also thought so.
They carefully moved around the square, riding bicycles and tricycles.
Fu Erdie ignored them and didn't even keep watch. He directly handed the security work to Dandelion and fell asleep in the box car.
Without any trace of Cen's mother, Fu Erdie had no destination for her subsequent itinerary. She just went back and forth around City C, constantly clearing out zombies.
She and Sang Wenhao were looking for people while fighting zombies without any pressure. They were also absorbing energy crystal cores and pushing and pulling their energy at the same time, steadily improving their energy.
The house is currently still at the third level. Since Fu Erdie's supernatural power cannot be automatically transferred between her and the house, the house's upgrade is not as fast as Sang Wenhao's.
Except for sleeping and fighting, Fu Erdie would practice pushing and pulling with the house, zucchini, and potatoes at other times.
The group of people and the plants walked and stopped like this, and finally returned after they had dealt with all the zombies in Cen's mother company, the residence, and a large area of activity around it, which included about a million zombies in one district.
It was not because they had stopped searching, but because more than fifty plants had grown from small seedlings to the size of an average potato seedling, and had broken through from their initial state to the second stage, and were even heading towards the third stage. The batch of dandelions they brought out had already been upgraded to the third stage.
Some plants, such as bamboo, are not flexible enough and cannot roll themselves into a ball like potatoes. Their height quickly grows taller than the roof of the box truck, so they can only cling to the paper on the roof very carefully, becoming a messy little bamboo shoot in the air.
Other plants were better than bamboo, but not much better. In short, they could not squeeze into the carriage and were all squeezed onto the roof of the boxcar.
There was no other way, so Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao could only go back home and put the plants down first. At the same time, they also informed Cen Xiyang of the news about Cen's father and mother.
Cen Xiyang took over his father's body box with red eyes in a daze. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help crying.
The others didn't know Mr. Cen, and they felt sad when they thought of their deceased relatives.
Consolation is useless, sadness flows in the eyes and around the body, and in the end one can only leave it to time.
It is now mid-January, and the end of the month is the Spring Festival. Cen Xiyang wants to choose a place where he can see the Li River before the Spring Festival, so that his father, who grew up by the river, can rest in peace.
Go uphill from the community and you can see the Li River at the hillside behind the mountain.
Cen Xiyang chose a location, dug a hole where he wanted to set up the cemetery, buried his father's body in it, erected a tombstone, and knelt down to worship.
Fu Erdie and Han Zhi both accompanied her.
The setting sun is as red as blood, and the lost lives are like the surging Li River, gone forever.
Fu Erdie secretly sighed that she was lucky. Her beloved parents and grandmother were still alive, and her best friend Cen Xiyang was also still alive. Only Zhao Xiaolu had no news, and no one knew where she went after escaping from City C. There was no sign of her name on the D City base, and other bases were too far away, so even if they received Fu Erdie's inquiry telegrams, they would ignore it because they had no business or interests with each other, and they didn't care about the hundreds or thousands of kilograms of food that Fu Erdie might have to send over thousands of miles.
In short, except for the base in City D, the other large bases ignored her, and the small bases didn't even know about telegraph machines, and without them, there was no way to contact her.
Fu Erdie thought that it would be very difficult to meet Zhao Xiaolu in this life.
If we are destined to meet each other, it would be great if we met each other when we were looking for various resources. But this world is too big, there is no exact location, and we don’t even know whether the other person is dead, alive, or a zombie. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
During the Spring Festival, Fu Erdie did not travel far again. Instead, he and the team of superpowers continued to clear the roads from the residential area to various industrial factories, and brought the zombies back for the plants to learn how to hunt and kill them.
Once the road from a target factory to the community is cleared, Fu Erdie and his team can add a base plate and iron wheels to the large mechanical and electrical equipment, and then have it towed back by electric vehicles.
The team is growing through mutual adaptation, and the plants in the Senyu community are also maturing through mutual adaptation.
When the Spring Festival arrived at the end of January, in addition to the green ivy and dandelions, two new third-level plants were added to the plants in the Senyu community, namely potatoes and spider plants.
In fact, Fu Erdie was a little surprised. She always felt that succulents were very powerful and had thick defenses. They were particularly conspicuous among a group of plants. It would only take a few minutes to grab some nutrients from them. After all, if you attack them head-on, even the green ivy can't deal with them.
However, in fact, although it is strong, it moves slowly, absorbs corrosion slowly, and is slow in everything it does.
The spider plant has already corroded two zombies, but it is still dozing off while corroding the first zombie.
Now hearing Fu Erdie's doubts, Duosui felt extremely aggrieved. Using the pinyin level he had learned after half a month, he pointed to the pinyin table and asked Fu Erdie to practice with him and give him extra food.
Fu Erdie just thought it was funny, and the others also laughed when they saw it.
He Xuan: "I always feel like Boss Fu is feeding some cute pet. It's hungry or wronged, and needs its owner to support it."
Fu Erdie also laughed: "I treat them as kindergarten children, and call myself the principal of the kindergarten. Speaking of which, you should not call me boss or head in the future, it sounds weird. You can call me the principal, but not the principal of the kindergarten, but the principal of the botanical garden, isn't it appropriate?"
He Xuan: “…” Not really, in fact, it’s even weirder than the eldest brother.
Fu Chenghong was listening at the side and knew that his daughter had never been interested in being a boss or an official. That was why she was not used to being called the boss at every turn, and she didn't want to seriously describe the community as a base for people with superpowers.
"How about this," Fu Chenghong suggested, "I heard from Professor Zhao that many people with special abilities like to have nicknames so that others can call them by their names. Your mother and I call you Xiaodie, and sometimes your friends call you Butterfly. Since you are used to being called the director, how about calling yourself the Butterfly Director? Isn't that much better? With this name, all areas controlled by your plants will be called Butterfly Gardens in the future, and it won't be abrupt at all."
He Xuan voted in favor immediately after hearing this, and the others also thought it was a good idea.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
No matter what, as long as she can make Boss... Oh no, Boss Fu doesn't like people calling her Boss, anyway, Boss Fu has to look like a leader, so that she can be introduced well, instead of people thinking she is just a passerby.
When Fu Erdie saw that everyone agreed, she had many questions in her mind.
What does "any area controlled by your plants is called a butterfly garden" mean? Now the plants control the community, and the community is called Senyu Community.
I always feel that this subtext has a particularly exaggerated meaning, as if her plants want to expand their territory and go to very far places.
"My plants haven't even filled up the entire plot yet..."
Fu Erdie's reminder seemed insignificant amid the heated discussion.
Fu Erdie: “…” You just said I was the boss (laughs).
During the half month from mid-January to the Spring Festival, everyone's life is extremely regular.
Under the regular pattern, the buildings were filled and repaired by cement workers, and the obvious changes were that Building No. 1, which had not been cleaned up in time, was moved to Building No. 5, Building No. 9, and Building No. 10, and after clearing out more supplies bit by bit, they moved to the 17th floor of Building No. 7 and gradually filled up the 17th floor.
The apartment building in the community that had been burned down before has become brand new again after being repaired and cleaned day by day.
The new and old plants planted in the community are also growing vigorously. All the wisdom mutation seeds have been planted before, and now more than 200 seeds have been produced.
On January 26, Professor Zhao announced a good news, that is, the non-intelligent ordinary mutant plants transplanted from the house area have been successfully transplanted.
"Based on the data recorded so far in the past month, ordinary mutant plants need to grow in your home area for at least ten days before they can be transplanted out. When you were away before, those ordinary mutant plants that did not have enough time stopped growing, and some particularly weak plants even died."
Fu Erdie thought for a moment.
Ten days? She came back on January 15th, so it has only been 11 days, one day more than 10 days.
Professor Zhao is not the type of person who would jump to conclusions in just one day.
"You mean, this number of days can be added up?" Fu Erdie asked, "For example, before I left, my home power worked for a few days, and after I came back, it worked for a few more days. Only when these days add up to ten days can the plants be truly transplanted outside of my territory and grow normally."
Professor Zhao nodded: "Yes. I will try it later to see what the difference is between using the water from your home power and using river water or rain water to irrigate plants. If you can use river water or rain water to irrigate, and let ordinary plants grow and produce crops every day..."
Professor Zhao paused and looked at Fu Erdie with bright eyes.
Fu Erdie looked at the plants outside the window, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. She continued what Professor Zhao had said, "People in this world, especially ordinary people, can have a new way to survive."
Before the end of the world comes and we become superpowers, we are all ordinary people.
Including Professor Zhao, they are all ordinary people until now.
Although I don't want to cause trouble and be responsible for the lives of so many people, after all, this responsibility is too great and too heavy, and just the slightest mention of it makes me feel breathless.
But when my life has become stable and secure, I suddenly can't help but instinctively want to move towards a better direction.
And now, this opportunity knocked on Fu Erdie's door.
