7: The proprietress is getting better and better
Half a month later.
In a dense jungle, Wang Cen and the fifth place were carefully squatting behind a large rock, looking intently at a small sandbag not far in front of them.
Under the calm of the two of them, even their breathing was carefully relaxed, and the little sandbag finally moved.
A palm-sized blue beetle emerged, its back shell glowing like jewels, scythe-like forelimbs, and sparkling black eyes.
This bug is not difficult to deal with, but it has bad habits, likes to push a dung ball around, not to mention, there is no meat under the carapace, so no one will attack them.
At this moment, the insect didn't know that it was being targeted, and its hind limbs kicked excitedly, turned around and found a direction and drilled over.
Wang Cen and the fifth person glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, and silently counted one, two, and three in their hearts.
With a bang, the two high-fived each other. The fifth person stood up with a smile and quickly came back with a straw cage.
This grass cage is not an ordinary grass cage, the ordinary grass cage can't trap this beetle, this cage was bought from Feng Xiaolazy with a lot of money, this cage was priced at 3,000 yuan by Feng Xiaola!
While complaining about the lazy wealth fan, the two smiled and carried the cage containing the beetle back together.
This neighborhood is not so dangerous anymore, it has been almost explored by them, they know where it is dangerous and where it is safe, and they are not so afraid of this dense jungle.
"Hostess!" Wang Cen put the cage on the cash register, "Look, we have caught a beautiful beetle for you." ”
"What beetle?" Feng Xiaolazy flicked the cage.
"It's the other day I said that the bug that looks like a sapphire in the sun, didn't you say you wanted to see it? I'll catch the fifth place! Look! Wang Cen straightened up as if he was invited.
Feng Xiaolazy threw away the chestnut in his hand, picked up the scanner that scanned the barcode and scanned the cage, and immediately, a blue bug appeared on the screen, three-dimensional, and there was a detailed introduction on the side:
Shell: Mutated, with a hard carapace and sharp mouthparts and forelimbs. Worth $500.
"500 pieces." Feng Xiaolazy raised his head, "If you want to change food, you still have to take money." ”
Wang Cen's eyes widened: "Boss lady!" You sold us 3,000 yuan for this cage! ”
"Oh." Feng Xiaolazily opened the drawer, took out a glove, opened the cage and reached in to take out a struggling beetle, "The cage is not closed." ”
"......" Wang Cen wordlessly handed the cage to the fifth place, and his assessment of Feng Xiaolazi's combat effectiveness climbed again, "Boss lady, this insect is very powerful, I saw it eat a dog." ”
"Didn't the shell lang eat Xiang?" Feng Xiaolazy rummaged through the insects and said curiously, "Changed the recipe?" ”
"This is a shell?!" Wang Cen and the fifth place were stunned, "Can the shell lang be so handsome?" ”
"Or what do you think?" Feng Xiaolazy threw the shell Lang into the drawer casually, and watched it slowly turn into a point of light and dissipate, "Do you want money or something else?" ”
"Money!" Wang Cen immediately didn't care about the appearance of the shell lang.
Now the wind sloth has realized the fact that the world has become a different way. It's not a cannibalistic world, but it's not much better, Wang Cen and their arrival made her indirectly contact with this world, there is no such stable and sound rules, and the evolution or mutation of animals and plants has greatly increased the difficulty of human survival.
Mass weapons may be useful, but their effects are not obvious. Animals and plants are frantically competing for space in this world, and human beings have become more and more vulnerable.
Now outside this supermarket, far from the city, there are safe zones. The relative safety and order there are just a few efforts to restore the civilization of the past.
The military region repeatedly organized manpower to explore the suddenly dense jungle in waves, and discovered wave after wave of dangerous animals and plants.
The rice fields were planted completely, and the rice seedlings that had matured and pressed when they were discovered by the military region were almost touching the ground. Just as everyone was rejoicing, the rice seedlings immediately seemed to come to life, and the rice in the sky was launched, and the sharp ones shot directly into the human body. Well, even so, everyone picked up the rice that had fallen to the ground with anticipation. Wait for everyone to avoid the launch distance of the rice seedlings, collect the rice, return to the safe area and cook it...... Yo, it's all hard as a stone.
Fortunately, after all, human civilization is a cultural accumulation of thousands of years, and it has evolved for thousands of years, so it will not be defeated by these small problems. Food is hard but not impossible, and human beings have always been strong enough to evolve into what is best suited to the world.
So, people who can walk around the world with a tree half a meter in diameter, people who jump more than 10 meters on their feet, and people who are afraid of themselves when they run seriously. In the first half of her life, Feng Xiaolazy didn't see any of them, but since Wang Cen's friends came that day, she has seen her every day......
No, a middle-aged man who estimated that he had failed to get a haircut, with a pitted hair, carrying a round, like a pumpkin, but full of roots and at least two hundred pounds of things, walked over with a relaxed pace and yawned.
"Yo, hostess, have a bottle of Coke, I want ice." The man walked into the store and smashed the thing on the cash register, "This thing was just found on South Street today, and I don't know if the pumpkin that used to be planted in anyone's yard has become like this, I guess it doesn't even know its mother anymore." ”
Feng Xiaolazy took the scanner and scanned it: mutated sweet potato: mutated, edible, and has a certain laxative effect. Worth 100 pieces.
"Huh." Feng Xiaolazy patted the pumpkin, took out 100 yuan from the cash register and threw it to the man, "Uncle Guang, this is a sweet potato!" You can eat it! ”
"......" Uncle Guang was stunned for a while, "I didn't expect that one day I would be without grains!" This sweet potato doesn't grow in the ground? ”
After saying that, Uncle Guang didn't delay, took the money and Coke and left. Since you can eat it, hurry up and pick a few more, although there are supermarkets where you can buy things now, but what if the wind is lazy and sells out one day? So, stock up on food! Demand immediate action!
Feng Xiaolazy looked at this sweet potato and worried, how should she put it in the cashier drawer. Fortunately, it didn't bother her for long, and she pulled out a filament of light from the light curtain outside, hung it around the huge sweet potato that occupied an entire cash register, and then hung it down the ceiling to the staircase.
"The proprietress is getting better and better!" Uncle Guang saw this scene not far from the door and sighed sincerely. I know that Feng Xiaolazy is very powerful every day, but every time I see her use her ability, I always refresh my impression!
Except for the wind that can eat nothing, Xiao Lazy Muran looked at Uncle Guang, who was so powerful, I must work harder, was speechless again.
The calm and tense life on Feng Xiaolazi's side continued. Of course, the calm is the wind lazy: open the door every day, collect money, plus collect some strange things, and the wind is lazy The day has passed.
And the nervous ones are, of course, Wang Cen and them: they are woken up by the deadly alarm clock of the supermarket every morning, go to Feng Xiaolazi's place to buy breakfast after washing, and go into the jungle to hunt or gather after eating, and when they are lucky, they can harvest a bunch unscathed; When you're unlucky, you don't even have to come back.
In a safe zone a little distance from here, Wang Cen and others were originally stationed here, guarded by the army, and with the policies of the state, they had a place to live.
In this crowd of refugees, a desperate girl is not so conspicuous.
The girl pinched a delicate handbag that did not match this moment at all, and stood at the door of the makeshift pharmacy and looked at the people inside seriously.
She needed a little medicine, but the money in this bag couldn't buy a cold medicine. The girl remembered the scene that had happened not long ago.
"Miss, we don't accept RMB now, you can exchange things, whether it's clothes or food. It's not that I'm embarrassed for you, I'm sure you've seen it, everyone is like this, and you're not the only one. If you don't have a certain amount right now, you can go outside the safe area and gather some supplies. ”
Outside the safe zone. The girl looked at the entrance and exit, which was blocked by a wooden railing, and that since she had come here with her brother, it had been his brother who had supported her and protected her. She hid in the safety fortress her brother had built, never taking a single step.
Until yesterday, my brother was bitten by a rabbit in order to catch a rabbit for her, and a piece of flesh on his arm was torn off raw, and although the bleeding stopped, it started to burn. It should be an infected wound, and she only needs an anti-inflammatory drug!!
Gritting her teeth, the girl decided to go out anyway. If my brother dies, she probably won't be able to live, and it's just a matter of dying late or early. In that case, why not give it a try?
Staggering through the perilous city of the past. In the past few months, the house is dilapidated like a haunted house, and the rotten branches and leaves on the ground are covered with a thick layer, without any traces of the original concrete floor.
Who can see the slightest trace of the city in this primeval forest-like jungle? The girl smiled self-deprecatingly, it was not easy for her to walk all the way, she was chased by a small dog for more than half an hour, climbed to the tree and followed the thick branch to another tree, so as to avoid the dog, but fortunately did not encounter the snake and insects.
With memory, there should be a commercial street a little further ahead, even if this territory is occupied by the lord of these forests, there should be some supplies, no matter what it is, you can always exchange it for an anti-inflammatory drug.
Taking a deep breath, the girl squeezed the handbag in her hand tightly, as if it was the last pillar of her life, carefully opened it and looked at the family photo inside and smiled: "Brother, Xiaoru will come on!" ”
Just as she was about to move on, two people, two men, suddenly walked out of it. One of them had a dark face, his right arm was swollen and almost as thick as his thigh, and black blood was dripping down.
The other man saw Xiaoru at a glance, was stunned and said, "Girl, there is a blue frog inside, not to mention poisonous and spitting, if you don't particularly want to die, it's better not to go in." ”
Xiaoru was also stunned, this man's way of greeting is a bit special, who especially wants to die?
The man walked quickly to the other side with the poisoned man in his arms, and there vaguely seemed to be a neat path that had been stepped on.
After taking a few steps, he turned back: "Girl, seriously, the world has not yet reached the point where you have to die. If you don't have a place to go, just follow this road, and there is a Lianhua supermarket at the end, which is safe and can live. ”
Xiao Ru turned her head and watched the man almost drag the wounded man into the jungle quickly, and after thinking about it, she followed. Anyway, this man has the calmness and kindness that she hasn't seen in a long, long time.
