Chapter 66

Fu Erdie did not respond much in front of so many people, but went to the Personnel Department to go through the registration procedures for picking up the person as if she was familiar with the place, and left the picking up fee for two people.

"One belongs to my cousin, and the other belongs to the man who stole things and beat up my cousin. Just think of him as someone I picked up." Fu Erdie said coldly.

The person from the Personnel Department was not clear about the specific situation and looked at the person in charge of the cement factory who was accompanying them.

The person in charge explained what had happened in general, but did not mention pursuing any responsibility for the murder, so the pick-up procedures were completed smoothly.

After his cousin packed his things and sat on the electric bike with a box truck on top in a daze, he finally came to his senses.

I really left the D City base.

No more hard work, no more hiding food and thinking about those bad things, and no more enduring a life without a shower every day.

He had just rubbed himself from head to toe in the box car. Not only that, all the injuries on his body, big and small, were healed. The effect was much better than the treatment given by the healing psychics in the base! "Sister, you are amazing!"

His excitement had not yet subsided and he kept talking to Fu Erdie.

After the car had been driving for an hour, his saliva had dried up and he finally calmed down, leaning back in his chair and staring out the window with lifeless eyes.

If it was him a month ago, he would definitely be very unhappy to know that his cousin had super powers and the ability to take him away, but deliberately kept him.

But now, after a month without his mother and grandmother, he felt that he vaguely understood something.

First of all, the idea of ​​brothers really disgusts him.

After he hid the food at first, he secretly told Xiao Feng, thinking that they had a good relationship, so he could just eat some quietly to fill his stomach.

As a result, within a week, all my food was gone.

He guessed at the time that it was Xiao Feng who did it, but he had no evidence and did not dare to speak out, for fear that if he did, he would never have the chance to secretly eat the food sent by his cousin again.

If the food had not been stolen again during the Spring Festival, he felt that he would be unworthy of so much food if he did not fight back in his current situation, and he started to make a scene with the mentality that no one could expect to have an easy life.

Being backstabbed by his brother disgusted him for a month. The attitude of the fellow villagers who lived and worked with him became another thing that disgusted him.

In the past, dealing with fellow villagers or "colleagues" was the responsibility of my grandmother and mother.

His mother often called him and controlled him, telling him to learn to be cautious and keep things to himself. He didn't care much, thinking that his mother was overthinking and being overly cautious. The people around him were all acquaintances, so how could they be so bad?

It was not until a short period of time when all the things he carried with him, which he thought were not worth stealing, were stolen, that he realized the cruelty of reality.

And how annoying it is to lose trivial items in life.

——He lost a lot of things that he had never cared about before and thought that no one could possibly steal, such as the laces of his shoes, the pillow core of his pillow, which became empty, a jacket that was so tattered and worn that it could not be worn, and so on and so forth, things that were so trivial and tattered that it was unbelievable.

I don’t know what these things were done with after they were stolen, but they’re gone.

He couldn't believe it at first, and cursed at these people for not caring about the friendship between fellow townsmen. At the same time, he also emphasized that his cousin's husband was a person with super powers, and asked these people not to go too far.

As a result, on the surface, no one had a conflict with him, but the situation of losing things secretly was even more serious. Even the pen and paper he asked for from the person in charge were missing, and the notes he had left on learning various things about the cement factory were also gone.

It was only at this time that Cao Yuanbai finally realized what his grandmother and mother had done in the past, both openly and secretly.

Those things that he thought were particularly unnecessary, such as tolerance, vigilance, keeping the peace, and making friends with people he didn't like... all these behaviors and attitudes were meant to maintain this environment, which was bad but could still maintain the basic rhythm of life.

Now, they are gone. He faced these malicious intentions and twists and turns directly, and even heard people making sarcastic remarks many times, saying that someone relied on men to get to the top, dragged the whole family up, but left the unpopular brother behind, and so on. People knew they were talking about Cao Yuanbai and his cousin, but when Cao Yuanbai got angry, these people said sarcastically: "I didn't say you, why do you take it personally?"

It turns out that all peaceful interpersonal relationships are illusions. Hypocrisy, bad behavior, and speaking ill of others behind their backs for the sake of a little bit of profit are the norm.

After thinking this through and going through and learning every process in the cement factory, he could no longer endure it.

This conflict with Xiao Feng was an outburst of anger, but it was also a self-evaluation. He felt that the next time his cousin came to see him, he could go there openly with the skills he had learned, without having to worry about how to mess up the relationships here. He just wanted to expose all the fig leaves and get angry, beating the so-called good brothers while scolding those tasteless people who stole things and gossiped.

He started to make a scene.

He was indeed half angry, but he didn't expect that Xiao Feng was weaker than him at the beginning, but after stealing the food given to him by his cousin, he was actually stronger than him. So the scene where he had imagined beating up the bitch Feng to vent his anger turned into him being beaten up by the bitch Feng.

Upon hearing this, Fu Erdie said calmly, "The potatoes I gave you have healing properties. He stole 20 kilograms of potatoes, and his injuries should be almost healed. It's more than enough for him to beat someone like you who is not very energetic."

Cao Yuanbai looked out the window, feeling his healed body, his eyes dimmed.

"If you hadn't deliberately kept me here, I wouldn't have known that I was so bad at judging people."

Fu Erdie added mercilessly: "Not only does he fail to judge people, he is also arrogant, self-righteous, unrestrained, and pretentious."

Cao Yuanbai vomited blood!

"Sister, you are practicing idioms!"

“I’m being realistic.”

Sang Wenhao was driving and listening to the quarrel between the siblings, he couldn't help but smile.

Fu Erdie emphasized: "When I go to Senyu Community, I will tell others that your personal promise does not represent my opinion. If you make a promise to others casually, not only will I not agree, but I may also downgrade your accommodation conditions together with the person who asked you. I don't want to see anyone come to me and say, 'Your brother promised me that thing, now you come to fulfill the promise'. Don't challenge my patience. If the lesson this month is not enough."

Her cold eyes looked through the rearview mirror at the boy sitting in the back seat: "I will personally be your lesson."

Cao Yuanbai's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but sit up straight. He nodded with some fear but firmness.

After Cao Yuanbai was brought back, Fu Erdie's closest relatives were officially gathered together. Cao Yuanbai also started his career as a cement technician as he said. Together with five other hired cement workers, he painted the walls of the community. After the community was finished, he painted the roads outside. After the roads were finished, he painted some small houses on the uphill fields.

Before the end of the world, Fu Erdie always joked that the community was in the urban-rural fringe, because it was an undeveloped place one or two hours away from the core business district in the city center by bus. There were many residential high-rise buildings and many unplanned vacant lands, which were used by farmers who originally lived nearby and now moved into the community after the demolition to grow crops in their backyards.

There are some houses in the fields, some of which are old rural bungalows that have not been demolished, and some are newly built houses.

All the zombies around have been cleared out, and dandelions are flying around all day long. If there is any abnormality, they will alarm in advance, or even no need to call the police. They can directly deal with the escaped zombies by themselves, so there is no problem for Cao Yuanbai to repair the house on the hillside outside the community.

It was Fu Erdie who started thinking about the mechanism of dandelions.

Previously at the D City base, what caused Xiao Feng to explode was not the Dandelion that Fu Erdie brought over, but the Dandelion who had been working outside for a long time and was unwilling to go back to the community with Fu Erdie.

In fact, these dandelions run away from home not because they hate Fu Erdie, so when Fu Erdie passes by, they will come over to say hello to Fu Erdie, and at the same time they will establish contact with the dandelions brought by Fu Erdie to pass on messages.

Fu Erdie looked at the pinyin pronunciation pointed out by Dandelion Feixu on the pinyin table and realized that these wild dandelions had controlled the man with the surname Feng, so he killed the man easily under the guidance of the dandelions.

When we left the D City base, those wild dandelions floated away again.

However, in doing so, Fu Erdie discovered another very interesting characteristic of dandelions - their ability levels actually fluctuate.

When she was in the community, a large group of dandelions tested out to be at level three, while the dandelions she took away in a box truck tested out to be at level two.

When we arrived at the D City base, because many of the jungle dandelions were first-level, when they were connected with the second-level dandelions, it was as if the average was lowered, making the overall level become first-level.

Fu Erdie found it very magical. Why was it that when they were in the community, there were many dandelions, so everyone had great strength in numbers and became level three? But after they came out and arrived at the base in D City, the strength was "small" in numbers, so they became level one.

After thinking about it again and again, Fu Erdie believed that each dandelion should have its own superpower reserves, and the overall level measured when the city was connected was indeed displayed according to the average, rather than the total superpower reserves of all the dandelions added together.

This means that behind the average level three of dandelions in the community, there should be many level three dandelions that are raising the average and then the level.

The wind attribute and linkage attribute of the dandelion are its characteristics. The strength of an individual dandelion is not really strong, so these powerful dandelion individuals should also intentionally let the less powerful individuals follow Fu Erdie to go out for exercise.

At this point, Fu Erdie realized one thing: if dandelions want to upgrade as a whole, the amount of garbage they corrode and the amount of nutrients they absorb should be several times that of other plants.

Fu Erdie: “…”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The thought of this makes me a little worried.

Fortunately, the last time we cleared millions of zombies in the city, the dandelion group was upgraded and the progress was not delayed. After returning to the community, the dandelions were also strengthened overall, and the coverage area was expanded from 30 acres in the community to 60 acres.

In fact, some wild dandelions chose to break contact and went to farther places without dividing the collective energy. So from an outsider's perspective, the area within a radius of 500 meters, which is a full three or four hundred acres, is all dandelions, or the territory of Fu Erdie, the director of the butterfly garden.

Now, as the field becomes larger and the scale of plants increases, Fu Erdie begins to find that there are not enough people.

First of all, there is a bit too much food. Previously, the mutant plants in Building No. 7 easily produced 200 kilograms of food a day. It was a daily task, just as easy as the author updating 200 words a day.

This is basic exercise and also a way to keep the plant cubs in shape.

However, the more than 50 plants that have newly grown to the second stage, as well as those that are slowly growing to the first stage, will produce more than 200 kilograms of food every day. It is a bit too much for three ordinary people, grandma Zhang Dongxuan, little girl Zhang Guya, and aunt Cao Rui, to handle it.

Although the plants in Building 7 are very sensible and will help them go up and down the stairs, and will even take the initiative to deliver the food they produce to the 16th and 17th floors, the plants downstairs and in other buildings are out of reach for the cubs in Building 7, so Grandma Zhang and the others still have to walk back and forth.

In short, I feel a little tired every day and can't take it anymore.

And producing hundreds of kilograms of grain a day is just basic operation. Some plants are vigorous and will produce a fruit basically no matter what. The basic task of two kilograms was completed at 20 kilograms. One day, Guzi even produced very quickly to tease the spider plant that processed the millet into millet. He wanted to see whether his production speed was faster or the spider plant's hand speed was faster.

The spider plant also started a fight with it, and the two plants had an inexplicable desire to win, and they produced 500 kilograms of millet in one day...

In short, on that day and in the following days, the grain reserves increased rapidly. As of February 5, Building No. 7 has stored 8,000 kilograms of grain.

This is what was saved after a month of leisurely living. As more and more zombies are captured and the plants become stronger and more energetic, this number will definitely continue to rise. At that time, Grandma Zhang and three others will definitely not be enough.

So Fu Erdie hired ten more people from the D City base to take care of the plants in the other nine buildings except Building No. 7, as well as the plants in the green belt of the community downstairs, and collect food every day.

Because the plants have become stronger and the yield has increased, Fu Erdie thought that he might as well rent the equipment that he originally planned to make directly from the base in City D.

It is impossible to buy it. The selling price of 100,000 kilograms of grain is still too much for Fu Erdie. However, the rental of 10,000 kilograms of grain a month is more than enough for the surplus output of 300 to 400 kilograms per day from the current growth of the plants. In this way, the construction of the community can be accelerated.

After discussing with Professor Zhao and Xu Qi, the person in charge of City D, everyone hit it off and quickly determined the rental terms for personnel and equipment, as well as the arrival date for personnel and equipment.

During this period, Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao gradually pulled nearly 500,000 zombies within a radius of ten kilometers back to Building No. 7 near the highway, and then let the plants that had taken root in Building No. 7 carry out a rapid cleanup and evolution.

The two veterans, succulents and gardenias, finally reached the third level after absorbing nutrients this time, becoming two more third-level plants after green ivy, dandelions, spider plants, and potatoes.

After consuming another hundred crystal cores, the house still failed to upgrade to the fourth level, as if it was still a little short of the mark.

Fu Erdie hoped that the house could reach the fourth level as soon as possible, because as the children in Building 7 became stronger and stronger, she had the illusion that the building would be washed away by the plants at any time. And the third level to the fourth level is a qualitative leap.

The first level of the house is a room on 16-1, the second level is the entire floor on the 16th floor, and the third level is floors 14 to 18. When it comes to the fourth level, the coverage area doubles, and the entire building No. 7 can definitely be covered.

So, after the equipment and personnel arrived from the D City base, Fu Erdie immediately started to go out with Sang Wenhao and a box of intelligent mutant plants to clean up the zombies.

In late February, she went to a densely populated area and obtained more than 200 crystal cores, which she gave all to Bai Guang in the box truck.

After returning to rest in the first half of March, we replaced a batch of plants and dandelions, and started again, clearing out zombies in a large population area again in the second half of the month.

By the end of April, Fu Erdie, Sang Wenhao and the others, together with the previous batches, had cleared a total of four million zombies in several districts in the center of City C, basically clearing out all the zombies in the city center. This allowed the house to finally consume enough crystal cores and break through to the fourth level.

When testing the power level of the house and the plants, Fu Erdie used her own power to measure, and the measured value would be 1 more than the actual value. So the power level of the house was 4, and the actual value on the tester was 5.

Looking at the [5] on the tester, Fu Erdie was excited, even more excited than when she and her boyfriend upgraded. She immediately took the house home to see the scope of the house.

After returning, he didn't have time to say anything and let Bai Guang enter Building No. 7 from the box truck.

As expected, the house really! Finally! Included the entire Building No. 7!!!

The entire originally dim building began to flash a gentle, not blinding white light. Water and electricity were connected to the entire building. Even the elevator made a "beep" sound as if it was restarted and could operate normally.

Fu Erdie was happy, the house was happy, and the plants in Building No. 7 were also extremely excited.

Finally they don’t have to worry about damaging the building!

So on this day, Building No. 7 of the Butterfly Garden, the base of the Senyu Community - now it should be officially called the Butterfly Garden - suddenly emitted a bright white light as if it had mutated. The whole house was no longer restrained and began to twist rhythmically.

It's like a ball of jelly. It was hiding in the plastic box and looked no different. But now it breaks free from its shackles and starts to dance.

If everyone in Building No. 7 had not been notified, especially the external personnel who were asked to be mentally prepared, these people would have been almost scared.

Now the whole building is within the control range of the white light, so the white light can be deformed at will.

Fu Erdie didn't know how the house and the plants were communicating. He just saw the color of the house becoming lighter and lighter. The new cement that had just been applied fell down together with the old cement. The whole building only maintained a steel frame and the most original decoration inside. From the outside, it looked like jelly. The dense roots, stems and leaves of the plants in the "jelly" were extremely clear.

And now, the whole building has broken away from its foundation, and with the joint efforts of the plants, it has suddenly...

Stand up!!!
