After dinner, everyone put away the dishes and prepared to wash up and rest.

Considering the preciousness of the clean water in the cabin, we discussed a more economical bathing plan - first use seawater to rinse off the dirt on the body, and then allocate one plastic bottle of clean water per person to rinse off the salty seawater so as not to cause skin discomfort.

Seven gentlemen, on the black-lit beach, there is no problem of avoiding suspicion or not. Duan Xingze disliked that his father's strength in the bath was too heavy, and pestered Lin Youqing to wash with him. And Lu Rulan just wanted to hide in the dark to take off her clothes, but she was quickly grabbed by Su Heyan.

"I haven't made it clear yet! What exactly is going on in Korean casino fights? ”

"Brother! Can't we leave this for tomorrow? ”

"No! Say it now! Also, take off your clothes! ”

“…… Elder brother! ”

"Do you want to take it off? Don't force me to do it. ”

"......" Lu Rulan understood that although Su He usually hangs his son, once he gets serious, ten cows can't be pulled back.

There was no way, he could only reluctantly start undressing.

As soon as he took off his shirt, Haichen walked over with a plastic basin.

"I said—"

"Don't come here!" "Go away, go away!" ”

The two brothers looked back at him in unison.

"Just take a shower, as far as that's concerned." Haichen touched his nose and walked away.

Lu Rulan saw that he was far away, so she simply took off all her clothes in one go. Su He immediately turned on the flashlight and checked it.

There were bruises everywhere on his arms, on his body, and on his legs.

He gasped: "Damn, those grandsons actually beat you like this!" ”

"But I also beat several people down!" Lu Rulan showed off the muscles in her arms in time.

Su He grinded his teeth fiercely: "So you didn't go to Jeju Island to shoot the MV?" ”

So far, Lu Rulan has nothing to hide: "I also learned after I went that the company thought I didn't make money, so it actually sent me to the casino with a few other people to do that kind of ...... Performance. If I don't agree, they will handcuff me, and I will knock over a few people and escape, but my passport is still in their hands, and I can't go back to China......"

"Shit, these scumbags. And then? How did you get your passport back? ”

"I fled to the parking lot near the casino, and I happened to meet an elderly Chinese couple who said they were coming for a tourist, and they took me in and helped me negotiate with the company. The company compromised, and I escaped from that hellish place ahead of schedule. ”

"So you take that old couple as a lifesaver, and you believe in whatever they tell you to do...... Haven't you thought that the reason why they were able to make the company compromise was because the big fish ate the small fish, and the small fish ate your stupid shrimp! ”

Speaking of this, Su He couldn't help but pat Lu Rulan's head hard, but then hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry, Blue. It's my brother who doesn't care about you too much. At your age, others are still coquettish around your parents, but you have suffered everything. Brother feels sorry for you, I really feel sorry for you......"

"Brother......" Lu Rulan's nose was sour, and her eyes began to flush again.

"Brother will never leave you again, and he will definitely protect you well."

Su He was still hugging him and chattering: "That guy named Haichen will never touch a finger of you!" ”

Lu Rulan couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother, it's so decent, why are you talking nonsense again?" Haichen and I don't have that kind of relationship at all! But you, how did you know Dr. Du? ”

"It's a long story, I'll talk about it later." Su He glanced at the beach, "Hurry up and take a bath, let him show you the injury after taking a bath." ”

Seven people worked on personal hygiene one after another. Those who brought their own clothes changed into their own clothes, and those who did not have luggage received a pair of non-woven underwear solemnly issued by Su He. The ugly and loose design makes even a tall man like Duan Whale look like he is wearing a large adult diaper.

Su He laughed so hard that he was almost out of breath, and without paying attention, his own luggage was opened by Duan Whale, and he pulled out two sets of pajamas and threw them to Lin Youqing and Duan Xingze.

Lu Rulan also divided a set of her pajamas for Haichen, although it didn't fit well, but it was better than nothing. Du Yunfei and Duan Whale's figures were close, so they also evened out a set.

The situation eventually evolved into Su He, wearing boxers, standing in the middle of a neatly dressed crowd. He wasn't awkward, but sat on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed.

"Hurry up and assign the bed, I can't afford to pay for my cold."

"There is a bedroom in the bow and two beds in the stern." Haichen pointed to both sides, "The stern is relatively large, and two adults and one child can sleep." The space in the bow of the boat is relatively small, and you can sleep two people with a good feeling. In addition, people can sleep in the living room. Let's see, how to distribute. ”

Without waiting for everyone to discuss, Su He rushed ahead and asked, "Where did my brother sleep last night?" ”

"The big bed in the stern."

"What about you?"

"The cot in the bow, what's wrong?"

"Brother!" Lu Rulan hurriedly choked the conversation and threatened him in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense anymore." ”

"How do I ......?"

Su He wanted to refute something, but at this time, Du Yunfei took out another set of pajamas from his luggage and threw it over.

While Su He was wearing pajamas, Haichen said again: "I think so, Brother Duan's father and son and Brother Xiaolin will sleep in the big bed." Teacher Su and Dr. Du sleep in a small bed. I slept on the couch with Little Blue. ”

"......" Su He looked at Lu Rulan and then at Du Yunfei, and instantly began to weigh it.

Lin Youqing and Duan Whale also felt that it was inappropriate: "This ship is yours, how can I let you sleep on the sofa." ”

Haichen is quite generous: "Children who don't sleep well affect their growing height." It's also good for me to sleep on the sofa, nothing inconvenient. ”

Du Yunfei said: "I slept on the sofa with Teacher Su. ”

"No way!" Su He suddenly became energetic again, and shook his excessively long sleeves: "Xiaolan sleeps with me, and my brother contacts my feelings." ”

"Brother!" Lu Rulan almost roared.

"Don't make any noise." Du Yunfei stood up to mediate: "Let's draw lots, sleep according to what you get, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Done."

"That's it."

There is paper and pen, and the results of the draw will be announced soon. Lu Rulan was quite satisfied, Du Yunfei had no opinion, the two of them each took a thin blanket and lay down on the sofa face to face.

In the bow of the boat, a few steps away from them, on a narrow triangular bed, two large men sleep together with their heads and feet, "affectionately".

Su He turned his back to Haichen and couldn't see it. It was quiet for a few minutes, but I couldn't help but ask, "How the hell did you know my brother?" ”

Haichen really didn't sleep: "At the airport." ”

"I didn't say it this time, I think I've heard your name somewhere before."

"yes, where is it? It's obviously about me and Xiaolan, but only I remember it unilaterally. Brother, do you say this is too shameless? ”

Su Yiyi was angry when he heard his calm voice, and simply turned his head and stared at Haichen.

"Honestly, did Xiaolan beat you up before?"

"Really beaten." Haichen actually nodded, "But I also beat him." ”

"Beat out your feelings? Or do you keep holding grudges? ”

"If you want to hold a grudge, I should have left him at the airport to feed the zombies."

"But my brother is straight!"

"It's such a coincidence, and so am I."

“…… Didn't lie?! ”

"I'm afraid that I'll always be knocked on the side by others, and if I don't bend, I will bend."

This sentence reminded Su He that if he always targeted Haichen like this, I am afraid that it would cause inappropriate hints to Lu Rulan. He weighed it and decided to make a truce for the time being.

"Believe you once, if you don't beat my brother's idea, everyone can still be good buddies."

“……”

"Hey, I said did you hear that?!"

Su He lowered his voice and repeated, then turned his head to look again-it was only half a minute before and after, and Haichen had actually fallen asleep.

————

After a day and a night of frightening escape, this night by the sea with the ups and downs was so comfortable that people were satisfied.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Su He sat up from the bed on all fours, and it took a minute to relieve the symptoms of hypoglycemia before remembering where he was.

Last night's "bed buddy" was gone, and there was no one on the couch in the living room. He walked barefoot to the deck and looked west in the crisp morning light of the sea, where someone was waving to him.

Lin Youqing, who got up the earliest, had already cooked a big pot of vegetable pickled rice. When it was almost out of the pot, Haichen caught a few abalone from the reef near the shore, all of which were washed and chopped by Lu Rulan and thrown into the pot to cook together.

After breakfast, Su He took out a car coat from the trunk and spread it out on the dock. Then with the help of Lu Rulan and others, the boundary was built around with pebbles and tree branches to form a shallow square pool.

After pouring seawater into the square pond, a simple salt drying field is completed, and when you return at the end of the evening, you can pour out the liquid on the surface and collect the salt crystals at the bottom for further refinement.

Then the next step is the important part of "clearing the field".

Duan Xingze is still young after all, and it is too dangerous to take risks with adults. He was left on the boat and looked after by Lin Youqing.

The remaining five, each armed with a weapon at hand, walked through the dense windbreak woods and opened the barbed wire door to the botanical garden.

"On the left and right of us, inside the blue fence, there are all construction sites for the aromatic plant area."

Lu Rulan introduced as she walked: "There is a big iron gate in front, which is the entrance to the construction site. Yesterday afternoon, we poked a zombie to death through the crack in the door, and it was about the same place - huh?! ”

His words stopped abruptly, he was stunned, and quickly turned his head to find Haichen.

"I ...... I'm not dreaming, am I? ”

"It's definitely not a dream." Haichen gave him a reassurance: "Obviously, we have encountered the strange thing yesterday afternoon again. ”

At this moment, five or six meters in front of them, where it should have been the gate of the subway building, turned out to be a large patch of lush green—it was some kind of vine with small pale yellow flowers, stretching out from the height of the fence and through the crack of the door at the same time, weaving a green carpet.

"There's a scent." Du Yunfei was thoughtful, "It's very familiar." ”

"It's like a ripe banana." Duan Whale added.

Su He, who was most familiar with plants, didn't say a word. He walked a few steps to the vine, looked at the leaves, then at the flowers, and finally plucked a flower, crumpled it, and looked closely.

"How is that possible...... How can it be? He muttered to himself, "It's, Smiley Flower!" ”

"Smiling? Isn't that the most common shrub? Lu Rulan was stunned: "How did you become a vine!" It's only one night, right? ”

"Have you forgotten the strange thing we saw yesterday?" Haichen reminded him, and then recounted to everyone the strange grass that he had found on the large lawn of the Botanical Garden yesterday afternoon.

Listening to this, Su He's heart "chuckled", and he suddenly remembered the huge aconitum vine in his garden.

Could it be ...... The world is in chaos, not only human beings are abnormal, but even plants are beginning to mutate?

From astonishment to throbbing, and even a little bit of surprise.

Su He said that he didn't know what his mood was at the moment. But one thing is certain – more and more evidence is needed to understand the reasons behind this.

He was thinking about this, when he saw Du Yunfei beside him suddenly raise the camping knife in his hand and pointed to the part of the vine that emerged from the wall.

"There's a human face on the vine."

Only then did everyone realize that there was still a zombie wrapped in the center of this lush "laughing vine". Fortunately, it was motionless, apparently dead a second time. If you look closely, countless tiny vines have burrowed into a hole in its mouth and forehead, as if they are absorbing nutrients.

Haichen elbowed Lu Rulan: "Isn't it the zombie we stabbed to death yesterday?!" ”

"It seems to be true!" Lu Rulan pursed her lips, "I don't know how many others there are." ”

"I'll go up and have a look."

As he spoke, Haichen suddenly took a few steps back, ran to the base of the wall, stepped on it, grabbed the vines, and climbed to the top of the wall more than two meters high.

“…… There are three more. He quickly counted the number of zombies: "What to do?" ”

Duan Whale proposed: "Saw open the vines, attract the zombies to the crack of the door, and stab them to death one by one."

Hearing that the vines were going to be sawn, Su He was obviously a little reluctant. He thought about it, and soon there was a better way.

"You come with me!"

The crowd still turned back to the barbed wire fence where the windbreak and the botanical park meet. From here, it is indeed easier to see the situation in the aromatic plant garden.

Under the leadership of Su He, everyone knocked the barbed wire, and soon succeeded in attracting the attention of the three zombies. When they stupidly approached to attack, each of them pulled out their weapons and poked them in the head through the barbed wire.

"Yay! That's the rhythm you want! ”

Lu Rulan waved the sapper shovel in his hand, and his morale was high.

The obscene tactic of "fighting cattle across the mountains" proved to be safe and effective, and everyone immediately adjusted their strategy - abandoning the plan to go deep into the heart of the botanical garden, and instead swept clockwise along the outer barbed wire wall, prioritizing the zombies in several adjacent areas of the barbed wire.

Next to the Aromatic Plant Garden is a large ugly, □□ loess slope, with no green in sight, but a few inexplicable large pits with turbid rainwater.

"It's designed to be a golf course." Su He explained in disgust while shaking the barbed wire fence to attract the attention of the zombies.

Du Yunfei asked coldly, "What did you plan?" ”

"How is that possible!"

Su He viciously stabbed to death a zombie sent to the door: "Think about it, how can such a small island with no plants or hair be specially built to build a cross-sea bridge?" It's not profitable, it's too early! ”

Duan Whale explained pertinently: "The area on the other side of the bridge is engaged in large-scale development, and high-end real estate and supporting commercial bodies should be built. The Foguang Island Botanical Garden is also part of the commercial complex, and after completion, it will be the back garden of the wealthy area. The botanical garden also has to be diversified and self-financed, which is really a helpless move. ”

Lu Rulan interjected: "Okay, okay, it's all like this, and you're still discussing what to do, concentrate on your work!" ”

On the left side of the bare golf course is the bonsai garden, which has water and bridges and nine corridors, which is very elegant. It's a pity that most of the bonsai are not in place yet, and there are many empty purple sand flower pots piled up in the corners.

After the bonsai garden, it is a large barren land. However, compared to the loess golf slopes, it is clearly smoother and neater.

Building materials are stacked along the barbed wire walls. A little farther away, there are several simple color steel sheds, and there is also a construction vehicle parked that has not had time to drive away.

Farther away stand three small four-story buildings under construction, surrounded by a zigzag. The building has been roofed, but the façade is still covered with scaffolding and green protective netting.

"That's the future administrative office and research site in the Botanical Gardens." Su He said, "In the underground of the research institute, it was originally planned to build a doomsday seed collection, but unfortunately I didn't expect it...... The end is coming so fast. ”

"It might be used as a storehouse." Du Yunfei predicted, "But the basement must have moisture-proof measures." ”

"Later, we can go and confirm the materials stacked on the construction site." Duan Whale said, "It's really not good, we can do it ourselves." ”

Because it is the most important construction site on Foguang Island, the number of zombies wandering in it is also the most impressive. It took a little time to clean it up, but at least it was much safer than venturing into the construction site head-on.

After the construction area, there is a flower garden and a liana display area for delicate grass and flowers, and some of them have greenhouses, which are quiet and do not infested with zombies.

Bypassing the stinking ivy vines, the windbreak forest in front of it suddenly became sparse, and a "trench" about two meters wide appeared on the ground.

If you look closely, there are still square pipes made of concrete buried under the soil layer in the ditch, and you can't see what they are used for for a while.

"Gutter?" Lu Rulan made a bold guess.

Duan Whale shook his head: "It's a cable, you come with me." ”

The group turned a corner and walked in the direction of the sea. After a while, the sea breeze was blowing on his face.

Before you know it, the low sand beach has risen into a steep cliff. And where they now stand, there is a large open flat area on the edge of the cliff.

The view of the sea is magnificent, but at this moment, it is the tower wind turbines that line up on the flat ground and the photovoltaic panels in the surrounding open space.

"This is also wind power?" Haichen looked up, "Why isn't it that kind of slender windmill?" ”

"This is a special design used by my company to build yì old duan." Su He proudly introduced, "There are many birds in the windbreak and cliffs, and the traditional windmill blades are a big killer for birds, so it is safe to replace them with this." ”

Duan Jing also added: "Moreover, this kind of tower wind turbine has a very low maintenance cost, and the accessories are easy to replace. It can be regarded as a new generation of products. ”

After seeing the wind farm, the group returned to the windbreak and walked along the barbed wire wall. Past the most extensive cash crop area, in front of it is the peony garden.

The Foguang Island Botanical Garden is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the only side facing the land is a brick and stone wall 1.5 kilometers long and 2 or 3 meters high. The peony garden was next to the wall, which meant that it took them about two hours to walk around the perimeter of the botanical garden three-quarters of the way.

Outside the peony garden, there is a small door between the barbed wire wall and the masonry fence that leads into the park.

Su He asked everyone to stop for a while, and once again emphasized the current situation-

"Once we're inside, we're going to have a head-on encounter with the zombies. Be vigilant! Especially you, Xiaolan, do you hear that? ”

"I have a question!" Lu Rulan raised her hand, "How can you become a zombie?" Will it be bitten? And what about being caught? ”

"I've been thinking about this a lot, too."

Du Yunfei took over the topic: "Judging from the limited sources, the zombie virus initially started to spread from hospitals and funeral homes. And these two places have a lot in common, which is also not found elsewhere. ”

"There are corpses."

Su Yi replied in a second: "If the first zombie is a living person, then why are the hospitals and morgues always the first to have accidents everywhere?" ”

"But these are two different things." Haichen pointed out the problem of logic: "It is true that the first zombie may have been transformed into a dead person, but this does not prove whether the person who was bitten would also become a zombie." And according to horror movies, there is a high possibility that you will become a zombie with a single bite. ”

"Horror movies, what can horror movies count?" Lu Rulan was not convinced, "According to what you say, there are many movies where it's okay to be bitten." ”

Duan Whale also reminded: "Most of the zombies along the way are blurred with flesh and blood. If you can get sick with just one bite, we should see more normal-looking zombies. ”

Lu Rulan asked: "What if the blurred appearance of flesh and blood is formed by acquired lesions?" ”

"That's all you ask!"

“……”、“……”

"Okay, okay, stop arguing!"

Su He interrupted the argument that came as he was supposed to be: "In my opinion, we ran a large group last night, and we killed a large group just now, and now there should not be many zombies left." We have a lot of strength, and we are working steadily and step by step. Kill them and the territory will be ours! ”

"Brother, you're actually looking forward to it, right? This tone is like a fight in the underworld. ”

Lu Rulan muttered, then turned her head to look at Haichen: "Okay, don't hold me back." ”

Haichen immediately smiled: "Okay, try it and you'll know." ”

Su Yiyi saw the two of them talking, and his heart suddenly felt a little unhappy. was about to intervene, but was held down by Du Yunfei on the shoulder.

"Focus, open the door."

With the creak of the iron door opening, the corner of the botanical garden is officially opened.

It was late spring in April, and the peonies in the peony garden were in full bloom, and some peonies were blooming sporadically. On the rockery side, there are thousands of purples and thousands of reds, but no one appreciates them carefully.

Fortunately, the peony garden is basically full of low shrubs, and they quickly confirmed that there are no zombies here.

Walking out from the north gate of the peony garden, there is a three-way road at the door. The fork on the left began to go uphill, leading to the pavilion on the top of the mountain where Lu Rulan and Haichen had stayed last night.

At this moment, they went to the fork on the right. On both sides of the road are the "Autumn Garden" where autumn ornamental plants are planted, and the Economic Botanical Garden, which I just saw through the barbed wire. Both gardens are calm and there are no zombies.

"We should give these roads a name."

Walking and walking, Su He suddenly thought: "There are osmanthus trees on both sides of this road, and it will be called Moon Cake Road in the future."

"What kind of logic is this?"

Lu Rulan was about to raise the bar, when a small wind rose in mid-air, and suddenly a faint stream of blood blew over.

"There must be zombies!"

Everyone's slightly relaxed mood instantly tensed. Su He and Lu Rulan were vigilant about the movements in the surrounding woods, Duan Whale was responsible for keeping an eye on the rear, and Du Yunfei and Haichen respectively clenched the weapons in their hands and began to lead everyone forward.

In this way, they made it all the way to the end of the mooncake road, and soon discovered the source of the blood.

It was about three or four mutilated corpses, lying quietly in the middle of the fork in the road. Judging from the damage process, it should have been crushed by a heavy engineering vehicle.

I have seen a lot of zombies in the past two days, but such a tragic scene is still shocking. Lu Rulan pulled Haichen's arm and wanted to retch, but Su He also turned his head and didn't want to look at it. In the end, Du Yunfei broke a few banana leaves from the side of the road and covered them on the corpse parts.

"There's a situation ahead."

Duan Whale also walked to the three-way intersection and stretched out his hand to point to the road on the left.

Everyone hurriedly walked to his side, and when they raised their eyes, they saw a bloody color in front of them.

It's like a river of blood. The place that was supposed to be the road is now bright red.

If you look closely, it turned out to be thousands of scarlet demon flowers, each the size of an adult's head, with a stem more than half a human high attached to the flower, which broke through the road and grew savagely.

"It's the other side of the flower!" Lu Rulan was the first to recognize it, "I know this flower, our group has released an album before, and the cover is ......"

"Can't you talk well? What a flower, this is Lycoris! ”

Su He immediately corrected him: "There are indeed lycoris bulbs planted on the side of the road in Qiuyuan, and it looks like they have also mutated. ”

"It must be the work of those zombie corpses!"

Lu Rulan had already reacted: "The night before yesterday, there must have been a fierce battle here. Those who drove the construction truck tried to escape, and ran over a lot of zombies along the way. The plants on the side of the road got the nutrients and started going crazy...... Brother, do you think what I said is right? ”

Su He pinched his face: "Everyone knows about it, just you talk a lot." ”

Du Yunfei only asked: "Walk through, or choose the right road." ”

Su He muttered for a while: "Go to the right, there is only the large construction site in the office area we saw just now." Let's go to the left, there is something very important on the left. ”

Since the person who knew the garden best had spoken, the others decided to follow. The five of them worked together and began to harvest the lycoris bush, which was more than half a man tall.

The only thing to be thankful for is that although the Lycoris flowers have become larger, the flower stems are still juicy grassy stems, and one piece can be put down by one cut. Everyone cut as they walked, and after a while, they advanced more than ten meters forward.

Lu Rulan's words were quickly confirmed, and on the road that was re-□□, many broken corpses appeared scattered and scattered. Compared to those that were covered by Du Yunfei just now, the corpses here looked black and shrunken, as if they were being sucked dry of nutrients by plants.

When the lycoris flowers were cleared to more than 20 meters, a new scene finally appeared on the right side of the road.

It turned out to be a large garden surrounded by an elegant wrought-iron wall. In the center of the garden is a small brick and concrete western-style building in the eclectic style of the Republic of China, with an attic on two floors, and a small terrace on the door of the second floor.

"This is it."

Su He introduced, "This is the villa of the big businessman of the Republic of China back then, and it is also the home of a few of us in the future." ”

It is not accurate to say that it is a villa during the Republic of China - the big businessman at that time saw the pleasant scenery of Foguang Island and did build a villa of considerable scale. However, more than half a century has passed, and the main building of the former villa has collapsed, and now there is only a small two-story western-style building on the south side.

At the time of the construction of the botanical garden, the two-storey building was also renovated from the outside in. The internal structure is reinforced by steel beams, and the façade and interior are also decorated according to the style of the Republic of China as much as possible.

There's just one thing, but there's no going back in time – what was once a private villa has been transformed into an elegant, secluded, semi-enclosed high-end restaurant.

According to Su He, the office building is not yet completed, and it is the only place in the entire botanical garden that is decent and can be used for long-term living. Now that you've come here, you might as well go in and see how it's going.

The five people turned down the path and walked into the wall of the wrought iron courtyard, and the gate of the courtyard was not locked. The concrete pavement underfoot has been transformed into a chic brick path. The antiseptic wood pergola designed as an open-air café is still bare, and there is no time to plant plants. But tables and chairs were stacked aside.

Walking through the pergola to the main entrance of the villa, I saw that the first floor of the villa was made of European-style floor-to-ceiling round arch windows, with plenty of lighting. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, it can be seen that the interior has been completed with hard decoration and some soft decoration, and it should be debugging electrical appliances and moving furniture. The utensils inside the house were well organized, and there were apparently no violent clashes.

Everyone entered the room through the main entrance and quickly figured out the layout and structural function of the first floor.

In terms of plan, the first floor of the villa is roughly a flattened hexagon. After entering the door, there is a large vestibule, paved with nostalgic diamond tiles. The vestibule leads to the end by a two-split wooden staircase leading to the second floor; On either side is an open corridor that leads to the restaurant lobby on the left and right.

Nearly half of the space in the lobby on the left is designed as a transparent open kitchen. Inside the glass room, the stovetop cabinets are ready for the chef to cook under the supervision of diners. Outside the kitchen, there are shelves and sinks for food display, but of course they are empty now.

The lobby on the right is mainly a dining area, and there is a restroom in the corner. The dining table and chairs were already arranged, but there was still a smell of freshly renovated wood in the room.

The crowd did not linger long, and turned back to the antechamber.

"There are two boxes here."

Su He pointed to the wooden doors under the wings of the stairs and found that the keys were still on the doorknob. He opened the door and beckoned for the others to follow suit.

The most obedient person is, of course, Lu Rulan, who walked to Su He's side, stretched his neck to look inside, and suddenly exclaimed.

"Wow——!"

"What?" Haichen immediately came over.

The box in front of them was about twenty or thirty square meters in size. Regardless of the decoration, the most attractive thing for them is the row of floor-to-ceiling windows against the wall.

Outside the window, there was a lush green, mixed with a few yellow, yellow and white wildflowers. Farther away, there was a large sparkling wave.

"This is the man-made lake that the pit has turned in." Duan Whale explained.

"How's it going, lake view room!" Su He was proud, "The view on the second floor is better." ”

"Moisture protection is a problem." Du Yunfei said honestly, "After all, the rainy season is coming." ”

Su He pursed his lips and wanted to refute, but Yu Guang glanced behind Du Yunfei, and suddenly reminded urgently-

"Be careful!"

Before the words fell, a zombie rushed out of the vegetable room in the box and pounced on Du Yunfei!

Turned elbows and armpits, and the others didn't have time to react at all. I saw Du Yunfei take half a step back sideways, calmly avoiding the zombie's frontal attack, and then saw the gap, strangled the zombie's throat with one hand, and stabbed the camping knife from behind the back of the zombie's neck with another backhand.

A crisp stabbing sound sounded, and the zombie stopped moving for an instant. Du Yunfei put it to the ground and pulled out a camping knife to wipe it on the corpse.

The rest of the people were not idle, and quickly searched the toilets and corners of the box, confirmed that there was no other danger, and then searched the box next door.

While others were busy, Lu Rulan quietly came to Su He's side: "Doctor Du's skills are so good!" ”

"Yes," Su He deliberately lowered his voice, "He has shot and killed people in Africa, and the tribe is not ...... You know. ”

"Really?!"

Lu Rulan's eyes widened, and just as she wanted to answer, Du Yunfei, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and looked at them.

Seeing that the signs were wrong, Lu Rulan laughed dryly, and walked a few steps to find Haichen and Duan Whale. Su He also wanted to follow casually, but when he passed by Du Yunfei's side, he received a question.

"What are you talking nonsense again?"

“…… I said you saved lives in Africa, what's wrong? ”

Su He turned his head to look at him with an innocent expression.

————

The layout of the second floor of the restaurant is roughly the same as that on the first floor. Without the kitchen area, the number of private rooms is a few more than downstairs, and the soft decoration is basically completed, as long as it is slightly arranged, it is a good bedroom.

Due to plumbing problems, the private room on the second floor does not have a separate bathroom. When passing by the public restroom, Su He deliberately went to try the handwashing station, turned on the faucet and only heard the sound of hissing air, and sure enough, there was no water source.

Duan Jing tried to test the switch of the electric light again - the circuit has been turned on, as for whether it is used from the external network or the microgrid, it still needs to be further confirmed.

To the left of the restroom is a staircase leading to the third floor. The third floor is the roof of the restaurant, and the flat roof is planned as a large roof garden. In the four corners of the garden, there are also four herringbone glass canopies that are easy to light, which look like small glass pyramids from a distance.

The cool breeze was blowing, and everyone stood in the rooftop garden and looked around. To the east is the small hill that Lu Rulan and Haichen had climbed last night. To the south is a lush green economic plant area. Further west, across the sparkling artificial lake are office buildings under construction.

And Haichen, who walked to the north alone, made the most bizarre discovery.

"Huh? What's over there?! ”

Several other people also walked up to him, only to find that on the large lawn by the lake two or three hundred meters in front of the restaurant, there were several huge buildings with strange shapes.

Externally, these buildings are all perfectly hemispherical in shape. There is not a single brick or tile on the surface, and it is spliced together with a hexagonal film that glows with a faint blue light and is almost transparent. From a distance, it looks like a few light blisters connected together, and like dew-stained flowers.

"That's the heart of this botanical garden, the rainforest greenhouse."

Su He's voice was full of excitement and pride: "More than 1,000 kinds of plants, it took three years to slowly collect and plant them from all over the world. It's no exaggeration to say that it's heaven in there. ”

Du Yunfei is more interested in the building itself: "What is the material of the exterior wall? ”

The answer to him was Duan Whale: "The honeycomb-shaped skeleton is a steel structure, and the covering on it is 90% high-tech hydrophobic aerogel. Each cubic centimeter of aerogel is lighter than the same volume of air, but the thermal insulation performance is equal to eight or nine ordinary glass stacked together. The remaining 10% of the covering is glass windows, which are like breathing holes in the greenhouse, which can be opened and closed by a computer or manual according to changes in humidity and temperature. ”

"Sounds like a lot of fun." Haichen was already gearing up, "Shall we go there next?" ”

"That's a must." Su He waved his hand, "You guys, hurry up, come with me!" ”

Everyone immediately went downstairs, and it took another two or three minutes to walk in front of the tropical greenhouse, only to realize that the ethereal and light building from a distance was so huge.

"Wouldn't there be zombies in there?" Lu Rulan was a little nervous.

"Just go in and have a look. Don't be afraid, there is a brother covering you. ”

Saying that, Su He took the lead and walked in the front.

At the entrance of the greenhouse, there are four glass doors side by side, and as soon as you enter, a humid hot air blows in your face.

Behind the gate are eight ticket gates, and after the turnstiles is the tourist service hall. In the semicircular lobby, on the north side is a bag storage and information desk, as well as a sightseeing elevator leading to the upper floor of the greenhouse. On the south side of the lobby, souvenirs and snacks are sold, and there is a restroom.

"This is the floor plan of the whole greenhouse."

Su He pointed to the west wall facing the gate.

The three-storey walls are painted with large, high-definition tropical flowers and birds. And most importantly, the floor plan of the entire rainforest greenhouse area, as well as the plants planted in each place, are all marked in great detail.

"It's a big treasure trove."

Su He curled his fingers and tapped the map with a smile: "We will eat, use, and save lives in the future, and there are many things that are on here." ”

So saying, he led the crowd around the tall western wall.

"Wow!" Lu Rulan began to be startled again, "...... I, I, I'm not dreaming! ”

Haichen beside him didn't speak, but reached out and twisted Lu Rulan's arm.

"Does it hurt?"

Before Lu Rulan could speak, Su He flashed over and pinched Haichen's back.

"Don't just ask my brother, what about you? Do you hurt? ”

There was a commotion here, and Duan Whale and Du Yunfei over there had already raised their heads and looked around.

"How does it feel?"

"It's a bit of a surprise." Du Yunfei said honestly, "It feels like returning to the rainforest of the Congo Basin. ”

"Where have you been?"

"There's a malaria clinic there. My first year in Africa, I was sent there. ”

After saying this, Du Yunfei took a deep breath, opened his gaze, and accepted the scene in front of him indiscriminately.

Green, green, full of green.

The trees are high and low, layered on top of each other, towering, entwined, weaving, hanging, and connected.

Long, wide, round, all kinds of leaves, dripping with droplets.

The moss on the ground soaked in mist, the water lilies in the river were soothing, the spikes of flowers were hanging from the rocks, and even the air bromeliads hung in mid-air.

All the plants, high and small, seem to be chaotic but delicately combined. Symbiosis and co-prosperity, relying on each other, forming a natural feast that never ends.

"I'm right." Su He came over at some point, "A big green treasure trove." Our paradise. ”

"This sentence is still a step early."

Duan Whale bent down and picked up something on the ground.

"Looks like we've got company."

It was a bloodstained phone.
