Chapter 97 C City Base
Sensing the arrival of the two people, the mutant pumpkin was ready to attack. When the two people approached, countless vines moved rapidly along the dry ground, making a "swish" sound.
The foodie Wen Yuan was full of energy. He stepped hard on the pumpkin vine, followed by a few "swish" sword moves. The vine was instantly cut into several pieces. Then, several vines flew out into the air and headed straight for Wen Yuan's face.
"A slap in the face is too much."
Wen Yuan threw a fireball as he spoke, and the mutant pumpkin vine dodged in pain.
Shen Qianxun, who had just swaggered into the space after collecting a pumpkin, suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted to Wen Yuan, "Well, pumpkin vines can be eaten, especially the tips."
Wen Yuan immediately understood, retracted the fireball, continued to cut the vines with the sword, and looked around for the "nest" of the mutant pumpkin vines.
The mutant pumpkin was so angry at the two people who showed no restraint that it wanted to smother them, especially Shen Qianxun who stole its precious big pumpkin when it wasn't paying attention.
Seeing that the other party was squatting on the ground and stealing its pumpkin again, it immediately separated half of the vine and attacked secretly, determined to beat the thief until he cried for his parents.
However, when the vines were about to approach the opponent's back, a silver-white light blade shot out rapidly, cutting off more than 20 vines in mid-air.
After Shen Qianxun stole two pumpkins, he turned around and smiled, “Little pumpkin, you can’t hit it.”
The mutant pumpkin vine was so angry that it shook all over its vines. Shen Qianxun looked distressed, "Be gentle, and talk nicely if you have something to say."
Many pumpkin tips were shaken to the ground, and many were broken. Shen Qianxun felt distressed, because pumpkin tip egg drop soup was delicious.
This mutant pumpkin is full of treasures except for its somewhat violent temper.
After Shen Qianxun finished muttering, he continued to squat on the ground, collecting pumpkins openly, and occasionally taking time to deal with the pumpkin vines behind him.
Because of the mutated pumpkin vines, Wen Yuan also focused all her attention on Shen Qianxun and successfully found the other party's nest. After two fireballs were thrown, countless vines fell to the ground with a "pop".
Soon, Shen Qianxun collected all 18 large pumpkins in the field into the space, as well as three baskets full of pumpkin tips. Wen Yuan also dug out the crystal core of the mutant pumpkin vine.
"Chihiro, it's the initial level three with no attributes, why not let Marshmallow absorb it."
This mutant crystal core is equivalent to 5 ordinary level 3 early zombie crystal cores, which is just enough to raise Marshmallow's amplification ability to level 4.
In the end, Marshmallow, who was leisurely watching the whole process in the car, won the ultimate prize and happily surrounded the two of them and kept rubbing against them.
After absorbing the crystal core, the amplification ability was successfully upgraded to level 4. Marshmallow was so excited that he danced back and forth in the car and asked who else was there.
Meanwhile, Shen Qianxun and Wen Yuan were busy looking for a place to stay. They harvested two level three crystal cores a day, exceeding their task, and finished work early to go back and prepare a feast.
The two decided to stay on the rooftop of a nearby two-story self-built building, put out the RV, washed up, and began to slowly prepare a big meal.
The main course is the mutant pumpkins harvested today, including Wen Yuan's favorite honey-baked pumpkin, which is served with honey, white fungus, and steamed sweet potatoes, as well as Shen Qianxun's favorite cross-hatched pumpkin cakes, and the fresh and tender pumpkin-tipped egg drop soup.
Shen Qianxun put the pumpkin seeds into the space, “It would be great if my space could be used for cultivation.”
According to the book, the sun won't come out again until next spring. All we can do now is keep it fresh and wait for the sun to come out before drying it out and planting it.
As dusk fell, the two had prepared a large table of delicious food. In addition to the pumpkin set meal, there were also pan-fried lamb chops, tomato beef brisket pot, Hunan-style stir-fried meat, braised food platter, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
After dinner, Shen Qianxun was busy piercing Wen Yuan’s ears.
There are three holes on each of Shen Qianxun's ears, two next to the ear holes and one on the auricle. She made them herself after coming to this world, and now she wears a dark earring chain on her ears.
Wen Yuan thought it was cool and wanted to get the same one.
"alright."
Shen Qianxun cleaned and disinfected the tools, not forgetting to add, “Be careful not to get wet when you take a shower for the next week.”
"OK."
Wen Yuan looked at her ear piercings in the mirror and said, "I want the same earrings from your series too."
Shen Qianxun put away the tools and smiled, “No problem, let’s have a sister style every time we go out in the future.”
Wen Yuan put down the mirror, turned around and smiled at Shen Qianxun, "Qianxun, you are so nice."
After following her daughter Chihiro for more than a month, Wen Yuan is now white again. Although she is still far from being as white as Chihiro, she has returned to her original self.
He gained some weight, his face became rosy, and he was full of energy, as if he was just about to kill a cow with one punch.
"Chihiro, let's sleep together tonight~"
The weather was getting cooler, and Wen Yuan thought it would be nice for the two of them to sleep together.
Shen Qianxun applied the facial mask and nodded “hmm”.
In the middle of the night, the sound of rain outside the window helps me sleep.
The earth, having long been blessed with a downpour, is absorbing the hard-earned water of life with all its might. The rain washes away the gray world, bringing brief vitality and vigor.
The next day, Wen Yuan opened the door of the RV and stepped on the cement slab at the edge of the top floor. "Qianxun, the air is so fresh."
The ground was very wet. Shen Qianxun lifted her feet and went up with the 22-pound marshmallow in her arms. Looking down, she saw small puddles scattered around the ground. The fish pond not far away was half full of water. "It rained quite heavily last night."
Wen Yuan stretched lazily, looking contented. "The sound insulation effect of the RV glass is excellent. I didn't notice it at all."
Shen Qianxun, who also had a good night's sleep, agreed deeply, turned around and put the RV into the space, "Let's go, let's go to the base to borrow a phone."
If everything goes well, Tang Yu and the others have probably arrived at the base. Shen Qianxun felt that she still had to call her cheap brother to inform him of the latest situation here.
"Okay." Wen Yuan jumped down the stairs, took the marshmallow from Shen Qianxun's arms, and took a deep breath.
The Hummer drove for more than three hours and finally stopped at the main gate of the C City base. The entire base was shrouded in dark clouds, and the surrounding sky was also dark and suffocating.
But last night's rain somewhat eased the anxiety of the survivors. Outside the base, people were coming and going, and many of them were talking and laughing.
After yesterday's rain, the temperature dropped to 26 degrees. Shen Qianxun wore a light green roll-neck sweater, black boots, and light makeup on her face. After the hot summer, the cosmetics in the space finally came in handy.
Wen Yuan also put on some light makeup. Even if she lived in the end times, she still wanted to be beautiful.
The current population of City C base is close to 500,000, which is a large base. Many people still enter the base to seek shelter every day. In a corner of the city wall, there are 8 rolling panels, which were removed and installed from the airport and operate by connecting to the dedicated network of the end of the world.
The two walked through the crowd and came to the bottom of the panel. They saw that two-thirds of the content on the panel was about tasks to eliminate mutated animals, plants, or zombies. The current highest level was only level two, and the top mark had been completed.
The two of them looked closely and found that it was the mutant pumpkin they had dealt with yesterday afternoon.
