After the end of the world, the food chain was reshuffled, and even a rabbit could turn over five or six men, and after standing at the top of the food chain with ferocity, the plant returned to its duty, at least the grass was still grass, and the tree was still a tree. It's just that within two years of the end of the world, people suddenly discovered that plants are called insidious. Think about it, too, a disaster has swept the entire planet, how can it be possible to spare only plants?
After the catastrophe, the earth's vegetation cover expanded rapidly compared to the drastic decline in population, and they continued to occupy the surrounding land, multiplied, and with the greenery came hordes of mutated animals, so people were so tired that they could only huddle in a corner of the city, and then send people out every day to clean up the surrounding plants. Otherwise, mutant animals are invited, and people will either die or migrate again.
What's worse is that those creatures whose lives are so vigorous that they are almost terrifying that they cannot be eaten by humans except for being dried in the sun and burned as firewood, and the grain and other crops are so weak that they are completely unable to absorb enough nutrients from the soil, either die or bear fruit, and human beings simply cannot develop agriculture as naturally as they did before the end of the world.
At first, people thought that it was because the bees and butterflies also mutated, and the plants could not pollinate without them, but the output was still pitiful after artificial pollination, and people finally found that those bad plants had developed roots and condensed into nets under the ground, leaving no nutrients for crops at all, and even the soil quality began to change.
In the end, people had to carefully collect clean soil and start artificial fertilization, and only barely mentioned a certain output, so that humans did not have to starve to death. So someone like Bai Fumei who picks and chooses and has no ability is quite unpopular. Cola kneaded his dough in resignation, thinking that he would have to take on a few more tasks.
Bai Fumei has to sleep until she wakes up naturally every day, Cola had a low-grade fever last night, and after drinking water twice in the dark, there was only a little sore limbs left when she got up in the morning, but it was no big deal.
Cola took a potato steamed with steamed buns in the pot and ate it with a small bowl of pickle batter. After breakfast, Coke cleaned up the small suite inside and out before walking out of the apartment building and towards the trading area. After each collection task is completed, the portion exceeding the number of tasks will be divided equally among the team, and then it is up to the individual to decide whether to stay. Coke got a few plants of notoginseng and parsnip, thinking about going to the market to go around, if it is suitable to change some useful back.
As soon as he entered the market, Coke heard someone calling him from behind.
"Coke!"
Coke turned his head to look at the other party, nodded in response, but he didn't even bother to laugh. There is a mother who is so beautiful that she is useless and always likes to attract bees and butterflies, Coke can see through the other party's thoughts about herself at a glance, since she can't respond and is too lazy to perfunctory, Coke can only try to keep her distance from the other party. It's just that this man named Lin Qiao has a younger sister who works in the mission center, so Cola can meet him nine times out of ten times in the team that he chooses a mission to participate in.
Lin Qiao is tall and big, and his facial features can only be regarded as atmospheric, not necessarily good-looking, only the honey-colored skin lined with a mouthful of white teeth is particularly eye-catching. He is cheerful and loves to laugh, and when he smiles, he shows a mouth full of big white teeth, and the girl who likes him is not nothing, but he is just interested in coke.
"I've left you a loaf, it's still a little warm, try it. Lin Qiao said, and took out a palm-sized cake from the bag and stuffed it to Coke. The cake was quite hot, with an enticing smell of wheat, and Coke didn't have to think about it to know that his sister must have made it for him.
"I've eaten it. With that, Coke turned around and walked towards the market. The cake is much more like than Lin Qiao, so she can't accept the other party's cake, not to mention that she has hands and feet, and she will not be cornered. Lin Qiao scratched the back of his head, a trace of frustration crossed his eyes, and he still followed after shaking his head.
"I also need to buy something to change, so I'll go with you. ”
There were not many people in the trading area, and Coke wiped some wilted herbs in the bag, and felt a little regretful in his heart. After entering the last days, a qiē civilization returned to the primitive, people can not be illiterate, but they can not skip meals and not get sick, since then Western medicine has completely withdrawn from the stage of history, and Chinese medicine has become precious.
The herbs in the last days have also undergone some mutations, and they are not only alive and well, but also stronger than before the end of the world. This is too important for the people of the last days who are struggling on the death line, and the emergence of a new pattern directly leads to those surviving TCM physicians becoming the targets of coaxing by major forces. It's just that they are not stupid, if they want to be high in the last days, they must maintain the mystery and uniqueness of Chinese medicine, so everyone in the last days can get a booklet to identify herbs, as long as you dare to go out of the city, you can collect herbs, but without a prescription, you can't cure the disease with herbs alone.
Cola had always wanted to study medicine, and she had memorized all the herb booklets she could collect, but no one taught her how to make decoctions. Thinking of this, Cola couldn't help but touch those herbs, if he had the ability to make them into potions or ointments, it would be really valuable.
Lin Qiao swallowed his saliva, he brought the cake to the trading market early in the morning and waited for someone, he was really a little hungry at this time, but after looking at Coke, he decided to endure it.
"Xiaoxi said that there is a good task, the points are quite high, do you want to try it?" Lin Qiao is tall and big, and his fist and foot skills are not bad, in fact, he can choose those tasks with higher points, but in order to pursue Coke, he often chooses a task that is lower than average, just for this, his sister Lin Xi complained a little about Coke.
Coke walked past those small stalls with a blank face, and there were high-scoring tasks hanging there every day in the task center, but she looked too similar to her mother, and she couldn't be said to be delicate and weak, weak and weak, but she would never be able to fall into the category of strong and strong. And high points mean high risk, even if you want to make yourself and Bai Fumei have a better life, but the premise is to be alive.
Seeing that Coke had no expression at all, Lin Qiao was anxious, walked closer, lowered his head and approached Coke and said in a low voice, "This mission is different, just go to the southern base to pick up someone, and bring people back safely." In order to ensure the absolute safety of that person, the person who posted it is good to say. ”
Even in the last days, the survivors were reduced to the bottom of the food chain, but people still quickly separated into three, six, nine and so on. When Lin Qiao said that as long as people were brought back to the main city safely, everyone could get at least a hundred points, Coke's eyes lit up. They went out of the city to pick herbs this time, going back and forth for five days, each person had five points, and according to Lin Qiao's statement, the points with more effort could still rise, which was really exciting.
"I've asked Xiaoxi, your task has a high degree of completion, and you meet the criteria for receiving tasks, and when the time comes, I will add you to the team, and you will definitely not be brushed off. Lin Qiao said and grinned at Coke with a mouth full of white teeth, it's good to go on a mission together, you can be considerate and thoughtful when necessary, and you can heroically save the beauty, he thinks that he can always impress someone's heart.
Well, at this moment Coke is indeed tempted, because of those hundred points. The risk of going to the southern base from the city is actually not high, but the road is a little harder, and the middle and upper strength teams can be completed with caution. Although the task center is not common, but occasionally there will be a few times when there is indeed a big boss to release such a task, but the task is easy to do, and it is definitely not the turn of a "skirmisher" like Coke to pick it up, the team that Lin Qiao said just now should be his fixed team, and with this relationship, Coke can really consider taking on this task.
"How many days back and forth?" After more than a week, she has to think about the unreliable mother at home. Lin Qiao saw that there was a play, and hurriedly replied, "The longest is a month and a half." ”
A few herbs, the things that can be exchanged are limited, and the cola can't find anything to be like, so in the end, I exchanged two catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and exchanged one point for two apples. It was Coke who rejected Lin Qiao, but Lin Qiao still followed all the way to the downstairs of the apartment where Coke lived.
"That's a really good mission, you ......"
Such a high point reward, of course, is a good task, Cola caught a glimpse of the dazzling rose-red figure on his balcony upstairs, so he waved his hand at Lin Qiao, "I'm home, and I've decided to tell you tomorrow." After saying that, he walked into the corridor without looking back. Lin Qiao scratched the back of his head, and before he could figure out whether Coke could accept this task, he heard a nice female voice from upstairs.
"Hey, stupid big man, you haven't caught up with my Coke yet?"
As soon as Cola walked into the corridor, he heard Bai Fumei talking nonsense on the balcony, stumbling under her feet, and almost didn't fall. Lin Qiao, who looked up at Bai Fumei, was a little embarrassed, but when he replied, his voice was not subtle and shy at all, "Auntie, I will take a good look!"
On the balcony, there was only a leaning posture, and Bai Fumei, who was so beautiful that she was angry and complained unconsciously, frowned lightly, sighed leisurely, and turned to Coke who had just opened the door of the living room, "I think there were so many men who sent me home that I didn't know where to go, why are you only a stupid big one?" ”
Coke walked into the kitchen with a blank face to put away the delicious food, and then rolled up his sleeves to wash the dishes. It's not enough for Bai Fumei, her thin waist twisted slightly, she leaned against the door of the kitchen with lotus steps, and watched her daughter clean up her used dishes and chopsticks as soon as she entered the door, "Coke, I said that you should dress up more on weekdays, otherwise there would have been a lot of men waiting for you to pick ......"
Expecting Bai Fumei to say something inspirational and positive is really impossible.
Cola sighed, turned around and handed the freshly washed apple to Bai Fumei. Not surprisingly, Bai Fumei really disliked the quality of the apple, so she lightly opened her red lips and bit it.
