Chapter 79



Chapter 79

Yin Xuan is very fast.

Although she did not have the ability to speed, the physical strength of a second-level ability user allowed her to move briskly even with large bags on her back and a chicken, maintaining a safe lead distance from the group of zombies.

It took her an hour to get here by bike, and about two hours to go back. It was four o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived at the dandelions around the butterfly garden. She shouted to the dandelions from a distance: "I am a good person, I am here to bring you snacks!"

As expected, Dandelion didn't touch her and let her in.

Hundreds of zombies rushed into the group of flying dandelions, but they fell down one after another after less than 50 meters. Their bodies were occupied by the dandelion catkins and quickly corroded and decomposed.

Because dandelions are so fairy and ethereal, this scene doesn’t even feel bloody, it just feels like the natural removal of dirt.

In the Senyu community, Fu Erdie watched this scene through a telescope, as well as the girl who wanted to get closer to the community but was hesitant among the dandelions, and used the radio to invite her to come over.

The girl was visibly happy and ran towards the gate of the community at great speed.

At this time, there were still many people with special abilities outside the community who had not yet fully charged their batteries. They saw that the gate that was tightly covered by vines suddenly opened from the inside, and a strange-looking spider plant imitating the movements of a stickman stood at the door, followed by a girl who rushed over excitedly and entered the door.

The superpowers: Hmm?

What's going on! Why are they still sitting outside in a row when someone runs inside to be served?

Don’t think they don’t know, this girl was sitting with them in the morning to charge her batteries!

What did she do to be favored by the butterfly garden? The group was eager to find out.

A psychic with better hearing mentioned the sound of footsteps several kilometers away, so everyone sent this person to the source of the sound to see what was going on.

We won’t go into details about what the psychics were guessing. After Yin Xuan was welcomed into the house by Chlorophytum comosum, she has been in an excited state.

Butterfly Garden!

This is the most special and powerful team in City C, no, maybe it should be said that in the entire central region of Flower Country! They actually let her in!

Unlike the large areas of plants outside that are dying of disease, the plants inside the butterfly garden are very lush and there are no mosquitoes. When you walk in, you will feel fresh, natural and clean, and the ground is spotless.

Although some plants came over to look at her curiously and scared her unexpectedly, this was also the special thing about the butterfly garden, which made her feel novel and a little scared.

There are many green belts and small gardens in the Butterfly Garden. Basically, there is a lawn downstairs of each building, and there are also some tables, chairs and benches placed around the gravel road.

Chlorophytum took her to the stone table and chairs in the small garden downstairs of Building No. 2 and pushed a glass of water and a plate of fruit to her.

Yin Xuan's throat rolled: "Thank you, thank you."

The plant-based psychics in her team were best at inducing the growth of cabbage, followed by sweet potatoes. So in the past year of the apocalypse, they had been eating cabbage and sweet potatoes, cabbage and sweet potatoes, until the taste was so bland that they could not even get full.

Looking at the fresh peaches that had just come out of the water, Yin Xuan tried to hold back but couldn't help but take a bite.

The sweet taste of the soft and juicy fruit filled her entire mouth, and Yin Xuan felt as if the skin had opened up! She no longer cared about being polite and ate the peach in big mouthfuls, then went on to eat the banana and pear next to it.

When only the cores were left on the fruit plate, Yin Xuan burped with satisfaction and finally noticed the other girl sitting next to her.

She had seen this girl from afar, if she hadn't been shortsighted...

"Director of the Butterfly Garden...!" Yin Xuan's voice trembled with excitement, "Sorry, I made fun of you, I... I couldn't help it..."

Fu Erdie shook her head to indicate that everything was fine.

“Are those hundreds of zombies that you deliberately lured from somewhere?”

The superpowers outside the community were well behaved, and it was obvious that they wanted to have a good relationship with the Butterfly Garden and would not easily make enemies. This superpower might have seen plants corroding zombies, so he deliberately lured the zombies here.

Sure enough, the girl nodded and said, "I saw this group of zombies chasing two ordinary people who were fleeing at noon. It seems that they have been chasing them for a long distance. I thought that your plants are good at corroding zombies, and it seems that you can upgrade by absorbing zombies, so I lured the zombies here without authorization. I hope you don’t do bad things with good intentions."

"No, thank you." Fu Erdie filled up the empty cup opposite him. "If you encounter ordinary zombies in the future, you can take them to the butterfly garden. We have extra fruits here. If you like, you can take some back."

Yin Xuan's eyes lit up, but she still held back and declined, "I didn't do anything. It's just mutual benefit. No reward without merit."

Fu Erdie felt a sense of favor in her heart: "It's not in vain. Every time I go out, I want to lure back as many zombies as possible to feed the plants that can't move. Three hundred zombies are not many, but thank you very much."

Yin Xuan looked at Fu Erdie, who was dressed neatly, and the clean, quiet and safe community. Then she looked at herself, who was barely full and had to go to the polluted river to bathe because she didn't have enough water every day. She hesitated for a moment and carefully stretched out her hand to test him: "Director, does your butterfly garden need new employees?"

Without waiting for Fu Erdie to say anything, Yin Xuan immediately stated her attitude: "I can endure hardships and I can do anything you ask of me. For example, if you ask me to go out and pull out zombies, I am willing to do it! As long as there are no zombies with special abilities and they are all ordinary zombies, I can pull back snacks for these plants at any time!"

Yin Xuan clasped her hands together and looked at Fu Erdie pleadingly: "As long as you give me a clean and safe place to live, I can endure any hardship!"

Fu Erdie raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to live here?"

"Yeah!" Yin Xuan nodded repeatedly and smiled bitterly, "Although we are not threatened by superpower zombies and large-scale ordinary zombies outside, the environment is still very bad. Our team is relatively lucky, with water and plants, and basic dietary needs can be met. But to take a bath, we have to fetch water from the river with many human and fish corpses, and we will be hairy whether we wash or not. We don't have healing superpowers, so if anyone gets sick or the water in the river becomes diseased, we can only squeeze out enough food and water for everyone to eat and drink, and then go to the superpower team next door to exchange."

"Of course, the team with healing psychics doesn't necessarily have a comfortable life. They either don't have water psychics, or their plant psychics can only grow crops like rice that can't be eaten directly. They need to be processed and cooked, which takes a lot of time to feed the teammates."

"As far as the dozen or so teams of superpowers I've come into contact with are concerned, almost none of them have all the different superpowers. Everyone can only exchange resources when needed and barely survive."

It was the first time for Fu Erdie to directly come into contact with these ordinary teams of superpowers. Hearing this, she was curious: "Have you not tried to complement each other and become a big group?"

Yin Xuan's face was full of helplessness and bitterness. "I have tried, but it was not a good thing. For example, our team is mainly short of a healer. Before, a healer came to join us, but he was captured by his original team. The two sides fought over this, and each side seriously injured one person. Then the healer's ability was limited, and he could only treat minor injuries. In the end, both of them could not be saved, and were forcibly taken back by the original team leader."

"Later, another team took a fancy to our plant-based abilities and wanted to merge with us. Before the merger, we agreed that we only needed to replenish their food deficit by three kilograms a day. But after the merger, we discovered that their original plant-based abilities were mainly used for attack, and many of the foods they produced were poisonous and could not be eaten. At the end of the day, they were only three kilograms short of food when they were in the best condition, but they were usually short of five or six kilograms of food."

"But we have already reached the deadline of taking out two or three kilograms. We can't just take out five or six kilograms to exchange for their team's healing abilities!"

"At the beginning of the year, we met a third-level psychic who wanted to pull out useful people from other teams to form a five-man team. He was responsible for the military, another psychic who was famous in our area and could make apples and potatoes grow was responsible for food, a water psychic with a large water output was responsible for water, a fire psychic was responsible for making fire and roasting potatoes, and a healing psychic was responsible for healing. This was a perfect team. But his perfection meant the collapse of the four teams that were broken up."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"No one was willing to give in, including some teams that had good relations with the four teams that would be split up. They were also afraid that if their people were taken away, they would not be able to continue to exchange for supplies. Everyone united and fought with the third-level mutant, resulting in heavy casualties."

Yin Xuan still feels sad when she thinks about it now: "In the team that we often borrowed healing abilities from, a young boy who was only fourteen or fifteen years old died. Since then, everyone tacitly agreed not to talk about merging again."

Ordinary people have their own hardships, and superpowers don't have it all smooth sailing either. Especially those who fight alone and are only at the first or second level of superpowers, even if there are no fatal external threats, they will still face countless life problems.

Fu Erdie had a good impression of this young lady and wanted to give her more fruits, but she heard Yin Xuan muttering that there were no zombies nearby recently and she didn't know where the two zombies at noon came from.

After Fu Erdie asked carefully, she found out that two ordinary people who were fleeing on bicycles passed by here.

Fu Erdie raised her eyebrows: "Ordinary people, fleeing to the city?"

The fact that there are no zombies in City C should only be known by some well-informed supernatural beings. Did ordinary people know about it too?

Yin Xuan: "They must have heard the news that zombies in many big cities have been moving towards the base one after another recently. Not only in our City C, many cities are now vacating space. People who want to move can still survive if they don't run into the trajectory of the zombie tide. So I'm also curious about where they escaped from."

Fu Erdie's heart moved slightly: "How old are they, and what do they look like?"

Yin Xuan: "One is in his twenties, and the other is in his thirties. The one in his twenties has darker skin, and the one in his thirties is a little thinner. But both of them should still have some strength. They can ride bicycles on mountain roads, which is already very impressive for ordinary people."

This description seems very similar to Zhao Xiaolu and the hardware store owner downstairs?

It would be better to miss it than to let it go, so Fu Erdie immediately asked her to get on the electric car and go to another fork in the mountain to look for someone.

At this time, on a bend in the mountain road of Qingfan Mountain, a bicycle was standing on the side of the road, while another bicycle had overturned in a pit twenty meters down the sloping hillside.

"Qin Huai! Forget about the car, go this way!" Zhao Xiaolu poked a weedy hillside with a stick, "This is solid ground, we won't miss a step!"

Qin Huai, however, held on to the luggage, especially the food, on the back seat of the bicycle and was unwilling to let go.

Her face was covered in scratches from various tree branches, and she was even unconscious for half a minute after falling down the driveway and being jolted violently.

But after waking up, she didn't cry, she just tried to pull the car up with all her might.

From a distance, the hillside looks like a flat slope. But once you fall down, you will find that it is not as simple as it seems. There are all kinds of dead trees, bushes, weeds, and vines entangled with each other. If you want to pull the car up, you don’t know where to get the support.

"Don't worry about it, come up first! You're bleeding!" Zhao Xiaolu was anxious and wanted to jump down and pull the person up the hill by force.

Qin Huai raised his hand to stop her. His face, which had been numb and expressionless, finally showed a little bit of collapse: "We only have so much food and only two cars. If we don't take care of it now, we can't go far! No, to be precise, I can't go far! You go on your bike first! I, I'll come up slowly..."

"What are you talking about!"

Zhao Xiaolu jumped down the slope and struggled to get closer to the direction where the bicycle flipped over among the bushes and weeds. "Please blame me if you want to. I let go of the handbrake and rushed forward with you in order to escape! Your brakes are not as good as mine, so you fell! And if you hadn't given me this newer bike at the beginning, I would definitely be the one flipping over now!"

She threw out the climbing rope at a relatively stable place about five or six meters away from the pit where Qin Huai was. "Don't worry about it. Come up first!"
