87.Chapter 87: Collective Escalation
After Luo Xun hung up the phone, Yan Fei asked, "What?" Is it Professor Xu? ”
Luo Xun nodded and sighed: "He said don't raise mushrooms at home anymore...... When we go back today, we have to remind Li Tie and them, don't let them go out and talk nonsense. "He himself must continue to raise this thing at home, Li Tie If they want to think about the crops at home, it is best to raise some mushrooms at home, but they must not go outside and talk nonsense.
"Actually, Professor Xu and they are right, this thing is so lethal, if someone really keeps this thing in the base, what if it is used against the enemy...... It's almost the same as the effect of corpse water. "If you really use a lot of poisonous mushrooms to transform people, it is estimated that after the corpse is discovered, others may not even be able to see what the original owner of this corpse looks like.
Seeing Luo Xun sigh about this, Yan Fei smiled and said, "Aren't you still going to plant this thing on the lower layer of the vegetables in the next room?" "In 1603, although Luo Xun had planted a lot of plants, all of them were not placed directly on the ground, but all of them were placed on metal shelves built by Yan Fei with his abilities. There was still a lot of space between the shelves where the plants were placed and the ground, and it turned out that Luo Xun was going to put large and small pieces of wood in them, leaving them for growing mushrooms and absorbing toxins - crops are also likely to mutate during growth, but the mutation rate is not as high as when they germinate.
But just after talking to Professor Xu on the phone, Luo Xun was also worried that if the other party came to visit his home one day, he would not be able to explain it, so I am afraid that this idea can only be put on hold for the time being.
Luo Xun nodded reluctantly: "It's a pity...... "Those poisonous mushrooms are not only a weapon that can increase crop yield, but also an important killer weapon that can increase lethality, but now......
"It's not impossible." Yan Fei thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "We can make the bottom layer into a metal drawer with holes, and just put the wood inside." "Anyway, his ability is now more handy at making these things after being upgraded, as long as it looks like it matches the cabinet as a whole, others won't notice the abnormality when they come in.
And he can also directly freeze those "drawers" with the shelves in an instant when it is inconvenient, and there is no need to arrange lights underneath, so that others can't see what's inside.
Luo Xun showed a look of surprise on his face: "That's fine!" Anyway, those mushrooms are all yin-loving and court-loving, as long as they can be ventilated! "These poisonous mushrooms are not very picky about the environment, as long as they are sufficiently humid and have a certain temperature. In this way, not only can they raise these mushrooms at home with peace of mind, but even Li Tie and the others can use this method to grow mushrooms, and they can also prevent them from accidentally touching these things!
The two had just come out of the barracks after work when they received Professor Xu's call, and at this time the two of them were discussing while driving home, and when it came to the evening, they told Li Tie and a few others about it, and promised that as long as the metal materials and wood were sufficient next time they went out, they would make shelves and grow mushrooms for everyone when they came back!
"Brother Luo, let's wait for those little quails to come back at the end of the month." Li Tie said with some regret on his face.
"How?" Luo Xun was a little puzzled, "Didn't you come back early these days?" "Two days ago, they were excitedly thanking themselves for giving them quails, why don't they suddenly want them today?
He Qiankun explained: "Although we have heating here, because the weather has been warmer recently, the heating is not very open, and even the vegetables grown have grown much slower. ”
"Yes, yes, the other is ......" Several big men glanced at each other, and one by one blushed embarrassedly - "We are afraid that quails are too small to feed ......"
Luo Xun had confirmed that the quails that hatched first a few days ago were in good health and could be given a few to Li Tie and then informed them, they were very happy at the time, but after they calmed down, they remembered - they didn't seem to be sure that anyone could not raise these things to death...... No, it could even be said that they don't even seem to have experience with any animal alone!
Although some people have cats and dogs at home, they are basically taken care of by the mother of the family, who is only responsible for hugging and kissing when they get home and then throwing them aside.
Only Han Li's family had raised fish for a while before, and he had personally taken care of it for a while, and then ...... A tank of tropical fish, all of which were killed by him ==.
Having had such a ferocious experience, they said that it was a great luck to be able to raise those vegetables in this way now, such as a weak life like a little quail...... It's better for them to be mentally prepared and welcome them when they are older.
Luo Xun's only feeling after listening to the explanations of several of them was that he was speechless. "Well, why don't I raise it myself...... "I always feel that it would be a burden to hand over the little quails to them......
"No, no, no! We'll be responsible for them! They must be raised well...... Oh no! It's a quail! ”
Are they quails in the first place, okay?
Saying goodbye to Li Tie and the others, Luo Xun and Yan Fei dragged back to their homes with somewhat tired steps.
"I'm going to deliver food to Cafeteria No. 1 tomorrow." After returning home, Luo Xun checked the vegetables that will be harvested tomorrow and the several vegetables that he had deliberately raised to be planted for planting.
"This time it's about the same as last time, right?" Yan Fei, a person who has no concept of the weight of vegetables and fruits before or after the end of the world, can't visually detect the weight of these vegetables.
"Almost, leave what we usually need to eat, and send them all the rest." After Yan Fei's ability reaches level 2, it takes longer to completely consume the ability than before. At the same time, the number of crystal nuclei he needed to replenish also climbed. Of course, the nuclei sent out by the team every day are enough for him to use when he is on the wall, and the rest can be used to continue to use his abilities when he returns home, but even because of this, the more nuclei he has in his home, the better - the number of nuclei required to upgrade from level 2 to level 3 is definitely much more than before! And this thing is much more durable than vegetables, so it won't break at all.
The crystal nucleus is a hard currency in the last days, and even if you don't need it for a while, you must not miss the opportunity to collect it in vain.
Luo Xun carefully observed the vegetables on the balcony that deliberately left flowers and fruits to leave seeds, and nodded with satisfaction, it is very good, it is worthy of the fact that he has carefully cultivated it for so long, look, it will not be long before the seeds can be collected!
Luo Xun's vegetables and fruits are not pollinated insects, butterflies, bees and other things at home, so they have to do everything themselves. He usually has more free time than the average person - he leaves work very early every day. In addition, there is a meticulous and tolerant heart of repetitive labor—cultivated at home in the previous life. Drawing on his experience and experience in his previous life, it is natural to deal with these easily.
Yan Fei stood up, pulled him over and walked upstairs together: "Go back and rest, you have to get up early tomorrow." "Without the previous inventory of crystal nuclei, Yan Fei can only rely on sending crystal nuclei every day when building walls to consume abilities and increase abilities. I'm not as busy before bed as I was a while ago.
Luo Xun, who was pulled up, reluctantly looked in the direction of the balcony - as long as the small seedlings in the next room were watered regularly at a fixed time, they didn't need to be taken care of for the time being. The second floor is full of fruits and other plants with a long growth cycle, so you just need to take care of them regularly to check whether there is any variation, and the only thing you need to pay attention to is the balcony on the first floor that is flowering and bearing fruit.
Entering the bedroom, Luo Xun raised his arms and stretched his waist: "I have to pick vegetables tomorrow......" Before he finished speaking, he was picked up by someone and walked to the bedside.
The two have been together for so long, and the tacit understanding between them has been slowly cultivated in the afterlife, just like when sleeping in bed, if Luo Xun deliberately hugged Yan Fei's waist and rubbed his thighs dishonestly for no reason, Yan Fei would know that this guy was in arrears. Suddenly picked up by him like this, a fool knows what that guy is going to do!
Luo Xun was afraid of falling, so he hurriedly put his backhand around his neck, and then said with a little anger: "Didn't you say that you would get up early tomorrow?!" "Otherwise, just now Mao used this as an excuse to urge himself to come up?
Yan Fei glanced at him, put him on the bed, and stood by the window to unbutton the button on his chest slowly: "Yes, don't worry, tonight won't be too long, after all, we still have something to do tomorrow." As he spoke, he bent down and kissed him on the lips.
Looking at that dazzling smile, Luo Xun took a deep breath, exhaled, and took a deep breath, and wrapped himself into a zongzi as soon as he turned over - don't think that a beautiful □□ person will definitely succeed! I won't let you touch it tonight!
Yan Fei smiled meaningfully on his face, raised his hand to turn off the lamp at the head of the bed, and slowly climbed onto the bed - thinking that he could escape by wrapping himself in the quilt? Hmph, isn't it time to hold yourself every time and refuse to let go?
The night was full of fierce battles, and the next morning, Luo Xun sat on the sofa, his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes, and the conductor was diligent, digging vegetables and packing Yan Fei was busy with this and that, with the face of a landlord and an old wealth exploiting class.
Yan Fei looked relaxed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he almost hummed a song.
After packing the vegetables, putting them on the scales, and getting the vegetables to be traded today, Luo Xun got up and walked slowly towards the gate. When they arrived in the corridor, they met Li Tie and a few people who also got up early, and when they saw Luo Xun and they were carrying vegetables to sell, they were not envious or jealous - they didn't have many vegetable seeds at home now, but fortunately, they usually ate in the barracks, so they didn't need to prepare much food at home.
Nowadays, the biggest use of these vegetables is to supplement vitamins and to keep seeds after planting. They don't lack points now, and they don't have any place to consume crystal nuclei, so naturally they don't need to grow vegetables and sell them.
Seeing that Yan Fei was carrying a few large bags, Li Tie and they hurriedly stepped forward to help them get their things together, Han Li walked to the door of 1602's room and knocked on the door to call the two of them.
After a while, Zhang Su walked out one after the other with a blank face and Wang Duo, whose facial features were about to float up.
Luo Xun looked at Mu Zhulian's Zhang Su with a sympathetic expression, and then looked at the expressions of the other four looking at Wang Duo - Li Tie looked disdainful, Han Li looked envious, jealous and hateful, He Qiankun's big fat face turned red, and Wu Xin ...... Without expression, this thing didn't see anything at all.
After Luo Xun saw the expressions of these people, he instantly felt that his waist was no longer sore, and his legs were no longer painful - there were more embarrassing goods than himself and being set on fire! Although Wang Duo is oppressive, this product has already become the lowest level of storage among the residents on the 16th floor: he was collectively despised by the 1601 residents, supported by the queen of his family, and laughed at by his own family.
It's not easy for this kid to live like this.
I got in the car and went directly into the barracks, parked at the back door of the No. 1 canteen, and met Captain Li who was waiting there.
After the two sides said hello, several soldiers from the cooking squad came over to weigh the vegetables, and Luo Xun and Captain Li chatted.
"In the past few days, the radio is promoting everyone to grow vegetables at home, and teaching planting methods, don't we have anyone else here to sell vegetables?" Although the troops have only started to publicize the specific method of growing vegetables at home in the past few days, in fact, people can already be seen selling vegetable seeds in the base just after the Chinese New Year.
Captain Li sighed and shook his head, "How can there be so many people growing vegetables?" Even if someone grows it at home and can't feed it at home, I don't know if they can sell it? However, I have heard that occasionally people in the market will take out some wild vegetables and vegetables raised at home to exchange things, but the number is too small, and often when I hear about it, people have already sold out or changed places. ”
After all, the survivors in the base now have relatively small assets, and growing vegetables is not something that can be planted in a day, so those who have really started to grow vegetables have not yet reaped the results, not to mention that the vast majority of families have not yet started to act.
"I guess it's going to be more after a while, I heard that isn't it already possible to exchange huàn vegetable seeds at the huàn window?" Luo Xun asked casually.
Captain Li nodded and said, "The open space next to our canteen is now planted, and a few other places in the barracks have also been set aside for planting vegetables, but isn't it being built now?" I have to wait until all these things are done before I can officially plant it. ”
"Not afraid of delaying the season?" Luo Xun was a little puzzled.
"Hey, these open spaces in the barracks are reserved for growing vegetables, and a large area of land outside is reserved for growing food. Captain Li lowered his voice, "I heard that the research society has found a way to reduce the mutation rate of seeds, and next year's food should be able to guarantee ......."
This is probably the method of putting mushrooms and seeds together, right? Luo Xun smiled and nodded, although mushrooms can reduce the mutation rate, the grain that is actually planted in the field will still be affected by a variety of factors, after all, those mushrooms can't be moved to the field. Not to mention whether the mushrooms planted outside will be accidentally touched and trampled on and cause any accidents, just talk about these mushrooms...... Aren't they grown in the fields, right?
Luo Xun knew that at least the first two years of his life, the grain cultivation in the base had ended dismally, and there were many reasons for this result, so Luo Xun chose to inform Professor Xu of this possibility when he discovered the effect of mushroom wood. After all, no matter how powerful he is, no matter how full of his family is to make full use of his own home, he will definitely not be able to grow much food - even his and Yan Fei's rations may not be enough.
At this point, his interests are the same as those of the base, anyway, it seems that the base side is also going to grow mushrooms to make special weapons, isn't it just right for the two to be planted together?
The two of them took the twelve crystal nuclei that had been recorded this time and drove to the gathering, got into a truck and walked to the edge of the tall city wall to continue today's work. The earth powerhouses are getting farther and farther away from Luo Xun and their team, but fortunately, Yan Fei's abilities are also becoming more and more proficient, although their progress is not fast because of the increase in the area that needs to be expanded, but it is much stronger than before.
Captain Guo mysteriously disappeared for a while when he led the team to the edge of the wall, and only hurried back in a small jeep about an hour later.
On the city wall, soldiers who have nothing to do are holding guns to practice shooting under the city wall, although the number of second-level zombies has increased a lot recently, but for everyone who has a huge advantage and can beat the water dogs from a long distance, it is still very simple to destroy them.
"All four of you stop and come over for a meeting!" Captain Guo beckoned Yan Fei and a few others to come over, and several people hurriedly put down their work and got up and left the edge of the wall. Luo Xun also took this opportunity to take out the water in his backpack and drank it, and by the way, he looked curiously at Yan Fei's location, not knowing what Captain Guo was going to say.
Captain Guo took out a bag from his pocket and asked Yan Fei, "Look, is this the second-level metal crystal nucleus you mentioned before?" ”
Luo Xun almost choked on a mouthful of water, and hurriedly looked at Captain Guo's hand curiously. A few days after Yan Fei was promoted to level 2, he described the appearance of the second-level metal-based crystal nucleus to Captain Guo, and said that he had been promoted to level 2, and after the metal-based ability was upgraded to level 2, the speed and effect of using the ability were better, and if the abilities in the team could be upgraded to level 2, it would definitely increase everyone's work efficiency.
At that time, he said that the second-level crystal nucleus was accidentally discovered by Luo Xun when he was shopping, and it had also been absorbed, so he needed Captain Guo's help to find it.
After thinking about it, Yan Fei decided after comparing the approximate number of first-level crystal nuclei that Captain Guo said that those second-level abilities needed to upgrade to second-level when they were promoted to second-level by Captain Guo - according to the number of crystal nuclei that their team has absorbed now, it should have already reached the amount that can be used to use second-level crystal nuclei.
It was because of his ability mutation that the count of the first-level crystal nuclei that he needed to absorb was much greater than that of other people of the same level. And it's good for him that everyone has been promoted to level 2 - he can obviously increase his efficiency, speed up the wall, and increase his consumption to exercise his abilities, but he has to hold his strength and take his time in order to be equal to the others. There is a feeling that I can't do it.
After hearing about this, Captain Guo immediately tried to find someone to find the second-level crystal nucleus, in fact, the second-level crystal nucleus is still relatively easy to find, after all, the army will send people to go out to fight the crystal nucleus every day, and people from different departments of the second-level crystal nucleus cannot use it at all, which leads to the fact that some crystal nuclei consume extremely large, and some crystal nuclei are placed there and no one cares about them, let alone usable.
Captain Guo looked for someone according to the appearance of the crystal nucleus described by Yan Fei, and he really got a few today.
Hearing this, Yan Fei hurriedly looked at those crystal nuclei carefully, and then nodded: "That's it." ”
The second-level crystal nuclei emitted a special metallic luster, rolling in Captain Guo's palm. After seeing that he confirmed that it was this kind of crystal nucleus, Captain Guo smiled and divided the dozen or so crystal nuclei equally into the hands of four people—exactly three people per person: "They may still have crystal nuclei of this appearance, but the amount is not very large and uncommon, so they have been thrown aside until I went to ask them and remembered it." ”
The number of metal-based zombies is similar to that of metal-based abilities, and the number is actually very small. But after a lot of zombie fighting, they can still touch it after all.
In fact, this is also to blame that the IQ of the second-level zombie is still very low, and even in battle, they generally do not use their abilities correctly - fortunately, otherwise if anyone really encounters a metal zombie, all the iron sheets of the car they are driving will be cleared by them at once...... How do you still live?
So, while metal-based nuclei are hard to find, it's actually a good thing — not many people use them anyway.
With only one ability level, everyone was extremely excited when they took over the three crystal nuclei, and then—all three pairs of eyes looked at Yan Fei in unison.
Yan Fei, who has been used to being watched since he was a child, looked back calmly.
"That...... Brother Yan, how do you use this? Coincidentally, several metal abilities in the same team are soldiers who have not been in the army for a long time, and there are no professional non-commissioned officers, so in fact, they are basically around 20 years old, so Yan Fei, a twenty-six-year-old young and promising boy in society and still stinking in the eyes of many people, has become the "big brother" in the mouths of many soldiers in the same team, which is also a very embarrassing point.
"Just absorb it directly as you normally use the crystal nucleus." After thinking about it, Yan Fei was also a little unsure, "When I used it, I used it when the ability was almost clean, you can wait a while and then try it." ”
The three Adepts nodded their heads.
Yan Fei confirmed, and found that it seemed that no one in the same team could confirm the attributes of these crystal nuclei without touching them, could it be that this was also a special case after his ability mutated?
Although he didn't know the specific reason, he still kept this matter in his heart for the time being. The zombie soldiers who were cooperating with the cleaning troops below the wall didn't have the heart to pay attention to the city wall at this time, and from time to time they swept their eyes to the three abilities who were desperately using their abilities - I heard that I could see the abilities upgrade with my own eyes! This is a great opportunity not to be missed, and after seeing it, you can go back to show off with your comrades and friends!
Luo Xun was also very curious, he was driven downstairs by him when Yan Fei was promoted, although he also knew that he was worried that he would be driven away for fear of any accidents, but after all, this kind of thing was rare to see, and he had never seen it in his two lives!
It didn't take long for those three people to work together to consume first, and sure enough, they quickly consumed all the abilities in their bodies!
After being helped to the other side of the wall by their teammates who were watching over them, the three soldiers, who had consumed their abilities almost at the same time, took out a crystal nucleus with a little nervousness, and absorbed it with their eyes closed.
Someone in the convoy under the fence who was cleaning up the zombies looked up in surprise: "What's going on up there?" Why didn't you fight all of a sudden? ”
"Who knows, there's no bullets, right?" The man's teammates didn't care about the authenticity.
"Quick! Zombies are coming at us! Kombat ! ”
……
