Huo Li chewed unconsciously twice, and the juice of the tender leaves, which was more bitter than that of Coptis chinensis, instantly filled his mouth. Huo Li's sleepiness disappeared immediately, and he directly controlled the earth-related supernatural power to remove the top cover of the small earth bed. He sat up and turned around, wanting to spit out the extremely bitter "cabbage".

"Huo!!! Li!!!" The black-haired boy shouted angrily from behind.

Huo Li turned around with the cabbage in his mouth, and then he was horrified to find that a few black threads extended from the bottom of the cabbage that he had chewed half a leaf, and the other end of the black thread was connected to the shoulder of the boy who had lost his left arm!

Huo Li finally realized what a foolish thing he had just done. His body froze. The juice of the cabbage had been in his mouth, so bitter that his tongue was about to curl. But he still didn't dare to move. He could only keep this weird posture and listen to the boy's angry questioning:

"Last night I thought hard and thought of a good way to save the world without turning my whole body green! At dawn today, I transformed my left arm into a cabbage on time. It was just opening its leaves to absorb the first rays of sunlight, and it hadn't even captured any organic matter yet! And you actually gave it to me...

that was my arm! You actually broke off a piece and wanted to eat it! And you even put it in your mouth! And you even chewed it into crumbs! And now you're actually going to spit it out on the ground! "

Knowing that he was holding a piece of his 'boyfriend's' arm in his mouth, Huo Li wanted to apologize very much, but he couldn't speak because there was something in his mouth. And under Xiao Yi's murderous gaze, he didn't know whether to swallow it or spit it out. In the end, he still mustered up his courage and gulped down the mouthful of cabbage soup that was like bile.

"Xiao Yi, I didn't mean to eat your..." body? That sounded so weird. Huo Li coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and then changed the topic very cleverly:

"Xiaoyi, there are still a few bottles of red wine in my space, would you

like to drink some to replenish the organic matter?" "No, I'll just bask in the sun for a while." The black-haired boy said coldly, interrupting Huo Li's action of taking the red wine:

"You can eat such bitter cabbage? In order to prevent insects and rats from eating cabbage, I specially designed its leaves to be extremely bitter. Later, I thought that now I can finally carry out photosynthesis in peace and quiet, Even mice wouldn't eat such cabbage, right? But... you!"

Huo Li froze there, looking at the cabbage waving in the wind, and decided to quickly change the subject to work: "Xiaoyi, do you want to accumulate organic matter through photosynthesis, and then gradually spread the black silk to the world?"

"Yes," said the black-haired boy, "Isn't your brain not enough? I will accumulate some brain capacity for you to deal with the D system? But how much brain do you need? If you can connect to the 600-ton brains of 400,000 survivors around the world through black silk, isn't it enough for you?"

Huo Li carefully stretched out his hand to slightly separate the leaves of the cabbage, and adjusted the angle towards the rising sun so that each leaf could fully receive the sunlight. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the black-haired boy:

"A large part of everyone's brain is used to maintain their own life state. Even if I put all the people in the world into a deep coma when fighting against the D system, their brains will have to allocate a large part of their brain capacity to maintain breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, etc. The mainframe of the D system is spread all over the world, and there are at least hundreds of thousands of research institutes with its main body in their computer rooms. So if it is a human brain, there must be 2 billion people for me to compete with it."

The black-haired boy looked at Huo Li, who was about to turn his cabbage-shaped left arm into a big green sunflower, took a deep breath, restrained the urge to curse, and asked his own questions in a businesslike manner:

"This apocalypse has lasted for 50 years. Why didn't you come to save the world when the D system just started to rebel? Planet D must have had at least hundreds of billions of residents at that time, right? And the D system didn't have such powerful computing capabilities at that time."

"System D knew about the Salvation Alliance before the rebellion, so it completely controlled all external communications of Planet D on the day of the complete riot. By the time the main system of the Salvation Alliance inferred the crisis of World D from information from all sides, it was already two months later. At that time, the total population of the world had dropped to tens of millions. When I saw this mission information, I knew that my special abilities could hardly be used here, so I never applied for this mission in 50 years." Huo Li answered seriously, and only his right hand, which was still pulling cabbage leaves, revealed his still uneasy mood.

"That's easy!" When it was finally time to show off his brain capacity, the black-haired boy said excitedly, "You need a total of 2 billion people, which is 3 million tons of brains. My body, which is black silk, contains more than 50% of brain cells, and it is faster than the human brain. In other words, as long as I accumulate 6 million tons of black silk through photosynthesis, it will be enough to control the D system."

"Uh, do you want to plant this kind of cabbage all over the world?" Huo Li reached out and touched the exploding green leaves of the cabbage that was blooming brilliantly in the desolate sand, and expressed his concerns hesitantly:

"Isn't the shape of your body too... ostentatious?"

The big cabbage heard it and quickly retracted its green petal-like leaves, turning into a pile of black silk, rushing to the boy's shoulders and turning back into his arms.

"I'm not saying that cabbage is bad..." Huo Li explained hurriedly.

"Wait a minute." The black-haired boy said, taking out the rag suit from the space, and completely absorbing it with the black silk separated by his left hand, and then he had an extra pile of idle black silk. Then he manipulated it to transform into a small, flat rapeseed plant that was close to the ground, and then looked at Huo Li: "Is this okay?"

"Very good, very good!" Huo Li said quickly, "We can first find a hiding place for humans, and then borrow some food from them, and use it as raw material to grow the cabbage. Then we can go to the next human base, and when we grow to a certain extent, we can plan to seize the crude oil fields controlled by machines, and then the development of Hei Si will make a qualitative leap."

"Borrow some food? The two of us can only get three to five kilograms of organic matter from them at most? Do you want to develop from this? Even if our photosynthesis can triple the organic matter, it's too slow! Why don't I find a larger human base first, and then threaten them to lend all the food, and return it in full after one day, so that the progress will be much faster." The black-haired boy said.

"Threaten them to 'borrow' all the food?" Isn't this robbery?

"What's wrong, is there a problem? Anyway, I can definitely pay it back." The black-haired boy said, thinking: Look how considerate I am, knowing that you have a mental barrier to controlling ordinary people, I took the initiative to take on the 'persuasion' work.

"No problem at all," Huo Li said obediently, "Let's set off now!"

"Wait a minute," said the black-haired boy, "My brain capacity is not enough now. I can't learn the language of a different planet in an instant. I'll ask 2d14 to download the tutorial for me and I'll study it for two hours. Do you know the common language of Planet D?"

"I learned it from the information they sent when I was fighting the drones yesterday." Huo Li said, "Don't worry, you can learn it slowly."

So the black-haired boy continued to sit on the ground, and except for the head that was used to learn foreign languages, the rest of his body was transformed into black silk and a large piece of green vegetables. Only a head was left standing in the middle of the vegetable field, and the mouth on the head was opening and closing from time to time, silently reciting the newly learned foreign language words (because he didn't even have lungs and vocal cords, so he couldn't recite them out loud.)

If ordinary people saw this weird scene, they would be scared to death. But Huo Li sat at the edge of the vegetable field, concentrating on looking at the boy's delicate profile and the serious look when learning foreign languages: How can my "little boyfriend" be so cute?

Two hours later, it was already morning, and the sun was even brighter. The black-haired boy who had completed the foreign language crash course took back all the black silk and rapeseed and turned back into human form. He stored the 15kg of extra black silk produced by photosynthesis during this period into the space. Together with Huo Li, he embarked on a journey to collect food and grass.

So the two of them spent dozens of teleportation talismans, jumping around on the surface of Planet D. Huo Li finally used his consciousness to detect signs of human activities 8 kilometers away when he landed half an hour later. Huo Li, who was rich and generous in front of his "boyfriend", took out another teleportation talisman and brought Xiao Yi directly to the vicinity.

The two stood on the gravel ground, and as far as they could see was an abandoned small mine, which obviously hid many survivors who had escaped the massacre of the mechanical warriors. Xiao Yi walked directly towards the survivor who had turned his entire body into coal-colored and was hiding at the entrance of the mine as a guard. Before he could react, he grabbed his shoulders, lifted him up, and said to him directly:

"I'm Xiaoyi, a tasker of the Salvation Alliance, and that's my colleague Huo Li. Take us to your base now. Due to the need for salvation, we will collect all your food and return it in 12 hours."

The survivor guard who was picked up by Xiaoyi was completely confused. He tried to draw his gun while talking incoherently: "Are you new robbers in this area? We have an armed team in our base. I warn you, don't pay attention to our supplies! Stop! Everyone entering the base must undergo non-machine confirmation!" The guy was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Before his hand touched the holster, Xiaoyi snatched it away and dragged him into the mine.

"Help! Everyone, pay attention! An unidentified human has broken in!" The brown-haired boy who was being dragged away shouted in the language of Planet D, alerting his companions in the base!

The three of them dragged and tugged all the way to the edge of the mine. The black-haired boy took a look down. It was about 50 meters deep and an irregular circle with a diameter of more than 120 meters. The walls of the pit were covered with passages dug by manpower. The entrances were covered with gray-black curtains or even stones, probably to prevent drones from discovering them. At the bottom of the pit were thousands of large steel and plastic cylinders filled with some unknown dark purple viscous liquid.

The boy looked at the rope ladder not far away, which was also painted gray and black, and was crookedly hanging down along the steep pit wall.

At this time, there were already twos and threes of people in the pit, raising their guns vigilantly and aiming in the direction of the black-haired boy. The boy didn't want to delay any longer, so he simply grabbed the guard from the edge of the pit wall and jumped down!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" The young man who was forced to jump off the cliff cried out hoarsely.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the survivors, the two of them landed steadily, and Huo Li jumped down behind them.

"There are mechanical warriors invading!"

"They kidnapped little Branson!"

Dozens of human survivors hid in the tunnel, only revealing the muzzles of their guns aimed at the black-haired boy and Huo Li, whose physical strength was really different from that of ordinary people.

"Throw one of your mechanical identifiers over here!" Huo Li shouted to them in the language of Planet D. The black-haired boy also pointed a gun at the head of the unlucky boy Branson and threatened him, "Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

At this tense moment, the group of survivors threw a flashlight-sized identifier over to him for unknown reasons in order to temporarily save Branson's life.

Huo Li grabbed it, turned on the switch and shook it on himself, "Ding! Not a mechanical body, safe." Then he walked to the boy's side and shook it around him, and the gadget made the same prompt sound.

The tension between the two sides finally eased a little. A survivor shouted to Xiaoyi, "Do you think you two can become robbers and steal supplies? Release Branson first, and we will let bygones be bygones!"

"You misunderstood," said the black-haired boy, "We are not here to steal supplies, but to 'borrow' food. We will return it after borrowing it."

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"All your food will be returned in 12 hours."

"Robbers! You will die!" The survivor heard the words and obviously regarded the boy's honest words as a provocation. "In the end times, we must not tolerate such robbery! I count down to ten, you let Branson go, otherwise we will beat you two into sieves!" The survivor with a brown-red beard didn't care about the boy's life and insisted on using force to solve the problem.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, ..."

As he counted down, the black-haired boy quickly planned his own action path in his mind when he opened fire...

"5, 4, 3, 2, ..."

Well, after the planning is completed, we can control these survivors with 0 casualties. The black-haired boy was tense all over, waiting for the battle to come.

"...1, 0!" The red-bearded man instantly showed a delighted expression on his face and shouted:

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Huo, you are back!"

Branson, the boy next to Xiao Yi who was almost scared to pee his pants, said to the boy a little embarrassedly:

"Mr. Yi, you don't have to support me, I can stand by myself, it's all my fault that I accidentally fell off the rope ladder just now."

The black-haired boy: "WTF!!!"
