38 Chapter 38
The voice of the young man was full of panic and despair, as if the sky was falling, and the young man in the last days still had a smiling face, heartless. But now the young man looked so helpless, Chen Rui was distressed, and cursed the hairball a few times in his heart.
Chen Rui held Zhouzhou's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, you forgot how vigilant the hairball is, that little thing is excited, maybe you found something delicious there, and you won't come back until you finish stealing it." ”
Hearing the president's words, the weekend was a lot more relieved, but he still said uneasily: "Brother Chen, I'm still not at ease, let's get the hairball back first, and when we get it back, we'll go to the free market, okay." ”
Chen Rui naturally understood that if the young man couldn't find the hairball, he would definitely not be able to rest assured, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go find the hairball first, and then go back when we find the hairball." ”
With the support of the president, the two went out again, and as soon as they walked to the door of the building, they saw Wu Lingling taking Nan Nan to look this way. As soon as she saw the weekend come out, Wu Lingling said with a happy face: "I finally found you on the weekend, I seemed to have watched you enter this house yesterday, but this side suddenly turned into a rocky ground," She was a little uncertain for a while, hesitated for a long time, and just happened to see the weekend come out.
"Sister Wu, you have something to do with me," said after seeing Wu Lingling on the weekend, although she was very worried about hairballs, she would not lose her mind on the weekend.
Wu Lingling looked at the expression on the weekend just now, and knew that there seemed to be an urgent matter on the weekend, so she didn't talk nonsense and said: "There is nothing important, that is, yesterday you lent me fifty corpse crystals, and when Sun Yi came back last night, I told him, he came back a little late last night, and I thought about simply coming to pay you back today." ”
After Wu Lingling finished talking to the weekend, she immediately handed the bag containing the corpse crystal in the satchel to the weekend, and then said: "Then I won't bother you, I went to inquire about the kitchen after yesterday, and I still need people over there, so I will take Nan Nan over first." ”
After listening to it, Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "Nacheng, I won't keep you any longer, you go and get busy, Brother Chen and I still have something urgent to do." ”
Wu Lingling quickly pulled her daughter away, and they rented a twenty-square-meter house, which was her fast and preemptive. An hour after she rented the house, one hundred and fifty corpse crystals could no longer rent twenty square meters, and could only rent a small room of fifteen square meters.
Because there is only one room, the house is separated by a cloth curtain, and a bed is placed while cooking, Li Han, a big man, naturally can't live with her as a woman, so he moved to live in the dormitory provided by the shed, so that it won't be so crowded.
And although the place is still closer, the place where their family lives is only two hundred meters away from the dormitory at most, but Wu Lingling doesn't have to worry about her husband needing to face Li Han all the time, and she can take care of the family a little when she is close, she is too busy and can hand over Nan Nan to Li Han to take a look.
Li Han's task is a bit heavy now, there are more and more people in the base, the rain has been rapidly evaporated by the high temperature in the past two days, the river is about to run out, the lack of water in the base is terrible, the military has recruited many water system abilities to help the base store water, although the salary is not much, but the key can get a few rations.
Now the base is hard to find food, and water can be exchanged for corpse crystals, but now there will definitely be no one stupid to exchange food and people for things, and it is generally daily necessities and the like that are exchanged for corpse crystals. You must know that after the end of the world, the crops are basically dead, and the plants that have mutated now are basically all poisonous, once eaten, even a little will be poisoned and die, as long as you are not hungry, there is no way, and you will never want to commit suicide to eat those mutated plants.
didn't wait for Wu Lingling to go far, and immediately pulled Chen Rui to run towards the mutated green jujube tree on the weekend, shouting hairballs while running, with panic and anxiety in his voice.
The two quickly returned to the edge of the mutated jujube tree, and at this time, there were still three people guarding the side of the jujube tree, and when they left with Chen Rui on the weekend, they had already helped plant the mutated jujube tree back. At that time, I touched it several times on the weekend, and I obviously felt the joy of the mutated jujube tree, and it felt amazing at the weekend, but I didn't think much about it.
Zhang Chi saw that Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui were back again, and immediately smiled: "Uh, aren't you going back?" Why did you come back again, let me tell you, don't even think about the mutated green dates here, you must have already eaten them, and you took one by the way. I have problems with so many brothers' abilities, and I can't bear to eat them, so I'm going to take out five of them and divide them......"
As soon as he pushed Zhang Chi away on the weekend, he looked around and shouted, while looking everywhere, he was worried that the hairball was a little angry and hiding, and after thinking about it carefully on the weekend, it happened in his previous life.
He was in a hurry to provoke the hairball, and the hairball ran away, and he didn't think the hairball would disappear at that time, when the hairball didn't appear for half a day, and then it wasn't until the next weekend that he found the hairball hiding in the original place, and the little guy was obviously snow-white, and he couldn't see it even if he hid in the mud.
Today's situation was carefully thought about by the weekend again, and suddenly felt that the hairball was really angry, maybe he would hide there and ignore him. Although the hairball is a lot smarter after the end of the world, and he can understand many things, but in the morning he scolded the hairball for no reason, and the hairball's IQ is still a little low, so he can't understand it, and the hairball who sulks alone or something will definitely do it.
Seeing that Zhang Chi and the people around him were about to stop the weekend, Chen Rui said: "Don't stop him, the pet he raised is gone, they were chilling by the edge of this mutant jujube tree at that time, maybe that little thing was hiding nearby."
One after another, the weekend is about to cry, in this world in addition to the president of the friend, the weekend on the hairball a relative, although the hairball is a pig, but after three years of companionship in the previous life, for the weekend no one or anything can be important than the hairball.
Time passed minute by minute, Chen Rui squinted his eyes and quietly felt the earth, as long as the hairball appeared within five hundred meters of his body, he could immediately sense it.
Zhang Cheng and the two teammates around him, listening to the sound of the weekend, were anxious for the weekend, if it weren't for this young man and that pet, they wouldn't have had a chance to find the direction to remove the ability to be irritable, although the number of mutant dates is not much, but it is a research direction, as long as there is a direction and goal, it will not be far from success.
The young team members beside Zhang Cheng said a little unbearably: "Captain, do you want to help find it, I was about to cry when I saw that little brother." ”
"No, we have a mission to stay here, or you can help shout here." Zhang Cheng said with some embarrassment. He actually wanted to help, looking at the young man's appearance of crying urgently, this is the end of the world and still has such a pet, presumably the pet must have an extraordinary meaning to the youth, otherwise it would have been slaughtered and put in the pot, how could it be kept. However, this mission is very important, and he will not be able to help this young man until after Yu Meng reports to the general and makes a decision to send someone to take over.
Chen Rui glanced at Zhang Chi, who seemed to want to help, shook his head and said: "You don't need your help, you just take care of this tree, we will go forward on the weekend, there are still a lot of trees over there, that little thing may go over there and hide." ”
He has already checked the radius of thousands of square meters, and there is no trace of the hairball, it seems that the hairball was provoked this time, and he really ran away to hide.
At this time on the weekend, I remembered the president's ability, so I didn't talk nonsense, and obediently followed the president towards the front, where the trees and vegetation had not been cleared, overgrown with all kinds of vines and weeds, and the trees were also lush. On the weekend, while looking for and shouting, the two walked farther and farther away, and gradually left the community area. It's already another construction site, but it's not yet under construction, and it's full of vines and weeds, except for piles of various building materials.
Chen Rui suddenly felt something flash in the distance, the speed was very fast, it felt very flexible, and the size was the same as a hairball. "Maoqiu, come back quickly, your master is worried about you......" Chen Rui suddenly shouted, then pulled up the weekend on the side, and ran in the direction where the thing disappeared.
On the uneven weedy field, Chen Rui had already noticed that the hairball was running in one direction, as if he refused to go home yesterday and had to take the weekend to find the mutated green jujube tree. Chen Rui pointed in that direction, and soon saw the hairball's exclusive white hair, flickering in the grass, although the hairball was still running forward, no matter how the weekend shouted, he refused to stop, but finding the hairball had made the weekend happy.
After five or six minutes, Maoqiu had already brought Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui into a very secluded place, there was a low hut in front of him, which had been almost wrapped in mutated trees and vines, if it weren't for the gap in that window, he wouldn't have seen that there was still a room here.
"What's going on?" Weekend asked after being suddenly pulled by Chen Rui.
Chen Rui lowered his voice and said: "Don't worry, your hairball is against a mutated insect, it looks like a mutation of a locust, this thing is also the size of a hairball, and now the hairball is confronting it, let's not bother it first, see how it solves it, I think this little thing may not be as weak as you think, the hairball may be quite strong, how to say that it is also mutated, maybe it is not only a good brain, but also a good claw, but it has never been shown around us." ”
After listening to the president's words on the weekend, he immediately said that he understood, but there was still a strong worry on his expression, Chen Rui held the young man's hand and said, "Don't worry, with me, I won't let the hairball get hurt. Let's walk forward, and we will be able to observe the hairball, and the mutant beast that is facing each other, and see how the hairball will deal with the mutant beast. ”
The two cautiously approached a few steps, and suddenly saw a small furry white beast in front of them, four or five meters in front of them, baring its teeth at a mutant locust with teeth and claws, and making a threatening cry, which had never been heard on the hairball on the weekend. And the locust did not let it go, and its sharp teeth and slender forelimbs faced off against the hairball.
If the locust is a hairball before the end of the world, it can also be fanned away, but at this time, after the locust mutated, it is as big as the hairball, or even larger, and it also emits a sneering and sharp cry in its mouth, which is quite terrifying to look at.
Seeing that the young man was worried about to speak, Chen Rui held the young man's hand and shook his head hintly, suppressed his voice very low, and said openly in the young man's ear: "Don't alarm them, the hairball is not small, and the corresponding strength should be the strength, it must have the ability to dare to confront this locust." ”
Chen Rui was actually right, at first the hairball was angry and ran here to hang out, but he didn't expect to smell the delicious fruit fragrance, but before he could get close to check, he was discovered by the mutant locusts, and the confrontation lasted for a long time. Then he met Chen Rui, when the master and Chen Rui appeared, the hairball suddenly became a lot more bold, and the owner pressed the formation, and the hairball dared to do it.
Not long after Chen Rui's words fell, the hairball suddenly moved, and its speed was extremely fast, like lightning. Before the mutant locusts could fight back, they were thrown off the ground by a hairball that hit it into its stomach. Then there is the performance time of the hairballs, only to see the hairballs again and again, and the people who watch them at a very fast speed are dazzled.
Over the weekend, I saw the poor mutant locust keep tossing up and down, abandoning and falling, and there was a small white ball flickering from time to time at the bottom, like a hairball dancing.
After repeating it dozens of times, the hairball retreated to the side and the mutant locust landed, and the dizzy locust did not react at all, and its only weakness was exposed. The hairball jumped high, and then smashed down, the soft belly of the mutant locust couldn't resist the hairball like this, and it was immediately squeezed out, and the intestines were also squeezed out, and the mutant locust let out a sharp scream.
The hairball jumped to the side when the mutant locust was struggling frantically before it died, and its little paws made a few strokes on the mutant locust's brain, and found that it had no ability to cut the mutated locust's brain at all, so it didn't bother to dig out the crystal nucleus, anyway, there was an owner, and the owner who was obsessed with wealth would not forget this benefit.
Turning around, the hairball immediately ran in front of a mutant grass, this mutant grass is about thirty centimeters high, the leaves are very large, the adult palm is big, and it is covered with countless sharp three or four centimeter long thorns, the hairball squatted on the edge of the mutant grass and had nowhere to put his feet, and finally turned around There is no way at all, such a long thorn It has no way to avoid, it seems that it can only rely on the owner.
The weekend used the fine sand to dig out the crystal nucleus of the mutant locust, and saw the hairball squatting in front of a mutant grass of about half a square meter, and when he saw those sharp thorns, the weekend understood that the hairball had nowhere to put his mouth, waiting for him to help. Turning his head, the corner of his eye seemed to see something, and when he took a closer look, Weekend was suddenly shocked, good things, really good things, mutated fruits that are better than mutated dates, were actually met by the hairball blind cat and the dead mouse.
Chen Rui approached the hairball, lowered his head and frowned and glanced at the clump of mutant grass under his feet, he had already smelled the sweet smell of strawberries when he got closer, but this mutant grass only had thin thorns and two thin little vernacular flowers on it, Chen Rui didn't find that the strawberry grew there, could it be that it grew underground, if there was no shell wrapped in it, who would dare to eat it.
Looking left and right, he didn't find strawberries, Chen Rui turned his head and saw that he was really staying by a mutated vine on the weekend, and he didn't know what he found.
Chen Rui walked to the weekend and said: "What's the matter, on the weekend, the hairball seems to have found a mutated strawberry, but it may not have borne fruit yet, but I saw two small white flowers." ”
"Mutant strawberry, you smell the fragrance, let's leave the mutated strawberry alone, this is a mutant grape, it must be, I won't admit it. Hairballs and hairballs come over, the host has found something delicious for you, you hurry up, what is delicious about the strawberries, the grapes are delicious, a big juicy and delicious ....... Weekend shouted at the hairball who was crouching in front of the mutated strawberry and didn't move, and shouted all the words to describe food.
The mutant grapes are not mistaken, Chen Rui accurately grasped the loopholes in the weekend's words, they have not seen the mutant grapes since the end of the world, how could the weekend recognize them. I haven't misremembered anything, I haven't seen the mutated grapes on the weekend. But he never took out grapes to eat on the weekend, could it be that something happened to the young man that he didn't know Chen Rui s eyes narrowed.
Although he noticed the abnormality, Chen Rui still buried these things deep in his heart, as long as he didn't tell him on the weekend, Chen Rui would not go to the bottom of it. He wanted to understand the youth, but he didn't want to cause trouble to the youth, since the youth didn't want to tell him, Chen Rui didn't find out.
The weekend probably also noticed that he was too excited just now, as if he said something that shouldn't be said, so he immediately shut up and spoke after a while: "Brother Chen, although this vine has grown a little strange, and the vine has turned blue, the leaves, its leaves are exactly the same as grapes, except that the leaves are much larger than the original." ”
Chen Rui carefully observed the leaves of the plant in front of him and nodded: "It's a bit similar, but the grapes are there," Chen Rui opened his mouth curiously, this vine is very large, not that it is a large vine and a thick vine, but that it is a range. The house in front of it, which is more than two meters high, is surrounded by it, if you don't get close, you can't find that there is another room there, this mutated grape, let's just say it's a grape, at least occupies at least fifty or sixty square meters behind the mutated strawberry.
The cyan vine was tangled, and the large leaves almost covered the entire location of the vine, and its root system was rooted in any mutant tree that could be approached on the side, and the tangled mutant tree was now withered and yellow, and it looked like it was dying.
He had heard of mutant grapes in his last life on the weekend, how could he have eaten it at the bottom of the base like that, it was surrounded and defended by the top of the base. However, there is a lot of information revealed, the mutated grape vines are blue, and the leaves are the same as before the end of the world, that is, many times larger than before the end of the world. In the previous life, the goal of all the people with abilities in the base was to earn enough crystal nuclei to buy a mutated grape to remove the restlessness of the abilities in their bodies.
But I haven't seen what the mutated grapes look like on the weekend, it is said that they are all auctioned, and he couldn't even enter the auction venue at that time, and once the mutated grapes were auctioned, they were all eaten immediately, and it was the safest only when they entered the stomach, even if the base already had a potion to replace the function of the mutated fruit at that time, but the potion was only a substitute, and the effect of the real mutated fruit was very different.
Unable to find it with the naked eye, looking at the weekend because he couldn't find the grapes, Chen Rui finally began to use fine sand to extend the sense of touch, countless fine grains of sand filled the space in front of Chen Rui's eyes, and soon Chen Rui was surprised. The mutated watermelon simply grows underground, and the mutated green jujube looks like a leaf, which is unrecognizable without touching it, and this mutated grape is even more extreme, their fruits will be invisible, and all of them grow on vines at a height of two meters and five, as if to prevent human picking, and the evolution of mutated plants after the end of the world is really magical.
Chen Rui observed the mutated strawberries again, and finally under the investigation of the fine sand, Chen Rui was amused, there were those strawberries that did not bear fruit, but bore fruit, but the fruit was wrapped in the leaves and hidden under the shadow of the big leaves, just these slender and long countless dense spikes, no one would think of using their hands to pluck the leaves to check, no one could imagine that these mutated fruits were so smart.
Chen Rui sighed that perhaps it was because before the end of the world, these fruit trees had too deep memories of being picked by humans, so they evolved methods to deceive humans and avoid human picking.
Using the stone blade to cut off a mutated grape, the originally transparent grape was finally revealed, and sure enough, it was the same as the weekend said, a big one. Before the end of the world, the grapes were bunches, but now these mutated grapes are one by one, each about the size of an egg, wrapped in a thick wooden skin.
Chen Rui used a stone blade to open the hard shell outside, the shell looked very hard but not thick, about twice the size of the egg shell, when the mutated grapes were broken, the luscious and fragrant fruity aroma instantly filled the noses of the two, and they felt refreshed when they sniffed it.
And the hairball, which had been squatting on the side of the mutated strawberry, rushed over like crazy at this time, squeaking, jumping up and down to eat the mutated grapes in Chen Rui's hand, which was so fragrant that the hairball was powerless to resist.
Of course, not only the hairballs can't resist, but even the weekend is flooded with saliva lured by the fruity aroma, the weekend picks up the mutated grapes in Chen Rui's hands, and as soon as he squats down, the hairballs can't wait to gnaw off the shell, and take a big gulp, it's so fragrant, it's delicious......
Seeing the hairballs eating so deliciously on the weekend, he understood that this mutated grape was definitely not poisonous, he turned his head and said to Chen Rui: "Brother Chen, let's pick all the mutated grapes, what should we do with this tree, it's a pity to cut it down, and we can't reveal the news again and again, otherwise we will be suspected." ”
Chen Rui nodded and frowned: "Don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, we will first pick the mutated grapes in the preservation space, and then go back to the cuttings of the mutated jujube trees, and get some back cuttings, there is no hurry here, now most of the soldiers are on the side of the construction community, there are few personnel here, although there are also patrols on the periphery, but not here." When someone with soil abilities comes to work here, we may be able to pick a round, and then we can find a way to reveal it, such a large mutated vine is not so easy to eradicate. ”
Chen Rui is not wrong in what he said, and he didn't think about the rest on the weekend, he was talking about harvesting these fruits first.
Thinking of the delicacy of the mutated grapes, Chen Rui picked a few more, and it was not until his stomach could no longer fill that Chen Rui began to harvest these invisible fruits. In the end, such a large range of mutated vines harvested a total of more than 200 grapes, all of which were packed in the space on the weekend, all because the jade pendant space in Chen Rui's hand might be lost.
On the weekend, the condensation water washed his own hands and face, and even stained his clothes with grape juice, so he naturally didn't forget to help the president wash off the sweet smell until the hairballs were finally full. Chen Rui had already cut six mutated vines, and then picked all the fruits of the mutated strawberry. Peeling open the leaves that wrap the mutated strawberries to reveal the bright red flesh is tempting to look at.
It's just that when they are full, they are kept in the weekend income space, and they take down a small plant that has been separated, and prepare to take it home and plant it. Chen Rui put the small mutant strawberry plants and vines into stone balls, ready to take them home and plant them immediately.
The mutated water cleaned the sweet juice sticking to the hairball, and on the weekend he held the hairball and followed the president towards home, he turned his head to Chen Rui and said as he walked: "Brother Chen, after we take these back and plant them, we will go to the free market, we don't have many corpse crystals in our hands, and now we have a house, do we have to go out to hunt corpse crystals, otherwise we won't be able to buy things." ”
Chen Rui glanced at the young man, nodded and said, "Okay, when we visit the free market, we can go out of the base to Ningxiang County in the afternoon to hunt zombies." ”
I found the hairballs on the weekend, and I found the mutated strawberries, especially the mutated grapes, and now the mood is almost soaring, even the high temperature of more than 40 degrees cannot stop the happy mood at this time of the weekend.
The stone ball with mutated vines and small strawberry plants quickly followed Chen Rui's feet, but it traveled underground, not the ground, even if it had an earth-based ability, it would not be able to find that there was such a stone ball a few meters underground.
By the time they walked through the mutated jujube trees on the weekend, the general's side had already decided, Yu Meng had already moved into the villas on the side with a team of more than 100 people, and there was a row of villas next to the leisure center, all of which were now occupied by the military. The mutant green jujube is in front of the villa, as long as the military people arrange personnel to be on duty here, it will be extremely difficult to steal the fruit, unless there is an ability like Chen Rui.
The approach of Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui was stopped by a soldier, and Zhang Chi, who still did not leave, said a few words to the soldier, and Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui were released.
"Chen Rui, your brother has found a pet," Zhang Chi opened his mouth and said with a smile, his few abilities rioted violently, and the injured comrades had already taken the mutated green jujubes, at this time, not only the riots were cleared, but the abilities were improved a lot, and sure enough, as Chen Rui said, now Zhang Chi is still very grateful to Chen Rui and the two brothers, and the general has also instructed to take more care of the two brothers in the base, even if there are really few mutated green jujubes, but there is direction and hope, and the motivation for them is much greater.
Chen Rui nodded and said: "Yes, it was found in the wasteland over there, it was scolded on the weekend when it stole mutated green dates, and as a result, it was angry, so it ran away from home, and coaxed it for a long time before it was willing to come back, and now even pets have become smarter in this world." ”
Chen Rui's words made Zhang Chi suddenly raise his vigilance, they also encountered a lot of mutant animals, but most of them were much larger, but their wisdom was not very good, they had a lot of military personnel and guns, and it was not difficult to grind one to death. But listening to Chen Rui's words, if the mutated animals become smarter, it will be difficult to kill them.
When Zhang Chi suddenly looked at the hairball in Zhouzhou's arms, Zhouzhou immediately hugged the hairball and said: "What kind of eyes do you have, don't look at my hairball, it is very fast, and it is a vegetarian and does not eat meat, it doesn't even have claws, and it doesn't have sharp teeth, so it won't hurt people at all." ”
Zhang Chi smiled awkwardly when he heard the weekend's words: "I didn't mean that, I just want to say that it's really smart?" ”
As soon as I heard Zhang Chi talk about hairballs, Weekend immediately gushed out: "Of course, since a large number of crops died, my hairballs have become smarter, and now as soon as I call it, it will come, and the feces and urine know to go to the designated place to pull." Before the end of the world, it was not so smart, and it used to be unresponsive, but now it will follow me when I go there, and even if I lose it, I know how to find it home, and Dutch pigs were definitely not so smart before......"
After hearing this, Zhang Chi nodded and said: "Thank you for telling me this over the weekend, the zombies have not been solved yet, and the mutant beasts have become smarter, and God still has a way to live for us." Okay, you go back first, you can't just go here in the future, you pay attention, don't keep running here, you will be misunderstood. ”
As soon as he returned home, the stone ball immediately came out of the ground, and the vines and strawberry plants of the mutated grapes in the cracked stone ball were all fine, Chen Rui did not make any moves, but replanned the guest bedroom that was messy on the weekend. One range of mutated green dates, one area of mutated watermelons, and the remaining two sites are used for weekend cuttings of mutated grapes and planting of mutated strawberries.
"On weekends, we have to buy a few mirrors to fix on the walls, so that the sunlight can reflect throughout the guest bedroom," Chen Rui said, looking at the busy weekend.
Hearing the president's words on the weekend, he stopped what he was doing and said, "Well, Brother Chen, you're right, when we go out to kill zombies, go to the mall to have a look, there will definitely be no shortage of big mirrors over there, and get a few more back then." "After pouring the root water on the mutated strawberries and the mutant grapes from cuttings, I kicked the hairballs into my pocket on the weekend and took the president to the free market with me. 166 Reading Network
