Chapter 41: Strange Beasts
86_86900 is just a corner, as if it has changed the world, Lin Xinran slowly folded the map in his hand, because it has lost most of its role.
This is the first time that Qingdai has clearly seen the world after the earthquake.
As far as the eye can see, it seems that it is no longer the plain city that has been built by humans, but the undulating mountains.
Vast tracts of land are torn apart, vast tracts of land are squeezed, and what sinks becomes lakes and rivers, and arched mountains become mountains.
The dense urban buildings have basically collapsed, and the ruins and broken walls abound.
Qingdai climbed a cliff and looked at the blue waves in front of her.
Xu Sheng also walked over and asked, "Looking for them?" โ
Qingdai knew that Xu Sheng was asking Du Qinyue a few people, she shook her head: "They must all be fine, before they met me, they were the bravest and most tenacious people, no matter what they encountered, they would survive well." After a pause, she continued: "I'm just thinking, these three months, is it the curse of the earth? Humans, animals, and plants, mutate one by one, is it ruined or reborn? โ
Xu Sheng didn't pretend to be stupid and cute this time, and said in a deep voice: "Ruining miรจ, new life, it's all in people's hearts." Those who desire to be reborn will be reborn, and those who pursue to destroy miรจ will naturally ruin miรจ. โ
Qing Dai turned her head and glanced at the man strangely, and smiled: "Finally not silent?" โ
"Not silence." Xu Sheng looked up at the already glowing blue sky, and said briskly: "Maybe it's tired, maybe it's escaping." Probably only such a complete subversion can be saved. โ
Qing Dai vaguely guessed that Xu Sheng might be banished in S City because of the high-ranking family conflict, she couldn't put her beak what she didn't understand at all, and she didn't mention these mysterious words anymore.
Looking back, Lin Xinran had already found a bag of luncheon meat, and Qingdai also took out her own food and ate it on the spot.
Since there is a long road ahead, of course, you must eat and drink enough before you can set off.
The gardenia tree jumped to the water's edge, absorbing water with its roots, and seeing the meat eaten by Qingdai and others, the pure and beautiful flowers painfully turned around.
Lin Xinran looked at it, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said to Qing Dai, "I think you can actually let this flower taste other things." โ
Qing Dai looked at Lin Xinran's eyes thoughtfully.
The weather has changed in the past three months, and people have developed a good habit of eating quickly. It took a few people twenty minutes to finish eating and tidying up, and walked in the general direction of the barracks.
Qingdai is still the main force of paving, and when encountering a large chasm, it is natural to detour, and when encountering a small ditch and a small bump, it is the corpse vine to help build a bridge or climb a ladder.
The gardenia tree was initially curious about the ghoul vine, and after bouncing on it for a long time, it found that this kind of person was completely lifeless and lost interest.
After walking for less than half an hour, Qing Dai looked at the ditch in front of her that was more than ten meters cracked, scratching her head a little, and was thinking about whether the ghoul vine bridge would be a little technically difficult, and suddenly heard a voice in her head: "I'm afraid!" โ
Qing Dai looked back and found that the gardenia tree was actually standing fifty meters away from the back, and the flowers had grown up, putting on a defensive posture, obviously a look of fear.
Lin Xinran saw that Qing Dai's face was wrong, and she also glanced back, and asked solemnly, "What's wrong?" โ
Qingdai shook her head and said, "It seems that something is wrong, it says it is afraid." As she spoke, Qing Dai cautiously walked to the side of the ditch and looked down.
A green shadow rose into the sky.
Qing Dai released a handful of ghoul vines, and then jumped backwards with thrust, only to see that a giant algae emerged from the ditch, said to be algae, but at the moment it looked more like an enraged octopus, waving in the air without a target for a while.
Qing Dai and the others hid behind a broken wall and held their breath to observe, probably because the algae found that there was no danger, so they slowly fell and returned to the ditch water.
Several people were silent for a few seconds before Qing Dai said, "Let's go around." โ
No one has any objections.
But on the rest of the journey, everyone's mood was much heavier. Plants have begun to mutate a lot, and human beings seem so small, and the future may be even more dangerous.
After walking a few steps, Qingdai grabbed the gardenia tree that escaped from the ditch with her backhand, and warned: "If you have a similar feeling again, say it in advance, do you know?" โ
The frightened gardenia tree lit up its white flowers one after another, indicating that it understood.
Although Qingdai was abusing the "weak", Lin Xinran and Xu Sheng were not people with overflowing sympathy, and walked forward as if they didn't see it.
It is also because of this group of "ruthless" instructors, Gardenia Tree didn't know that there was a trick of pretending to be pitiful and cute for a long time, and after the wisdom was enough, he choked for a long time.
Probably because in the central city, there is too little greenery, and the next few people did not encounter any aggressive plants, only some extraordinarily lush and strange trees and flowers, gardenia trees did not warn, Qingdai and others did not feel that there was danger, so they just passed by cautiously, but they were safe.
However, the calm was soon shattered.
Lin Xinran was the first to stop, Qingdai found that something was wrong, and she also listened attentively, and found that a group of people calling for help came from a distance.
Qing Dai released a corpse vine, and several people climbed up the wreckage of the tallest building next to it, looking towards the source of the sound.
I saw more than a dozen young men and women running wildly, followed by a black mutant dog with a size close to a big buffalo.
But at a glance, Qingdai was ready to jump in to save people.
Who knew that as soon as she stood up, she was pulled by Lin Xinran.
Qingdai looked at Lin Xinran suspiciously and anxiously, not understanding why she was blocking herself.
Seeing Qing Dai's puzzled eyes, Lin Xinran frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to save these people?" You look at them at the moment of crisis, not to mention saving themselves, but also pushing their companions in exchange for their own opportunities, they are obviously a group of ungrateful people, and it is a waste of food to live. โ
Qing Dai was stunned, as if she didn't expect Lin Xinran to say this, but she still shook her head and said urgently: "Where is the reason to save people?" Character does not mean that you should die, there is hope when you live. โ
As he spoke, Qing Dai brushed aside Lin Xinran's hand and jumped downstairs, Xu Sheng also jumped down, and before leaving, he glanced at Lin Xinran lightly.
Lin Xinran didn't care about Xu Sheng's eyes, just stared at Qingdai without hesitation, and his eyes were full of complexity.
The arrival of Qingdai gave this group of young people infinite hope and shouted for help.
Qing Dai ignored the shouts and promises of these people, stepped onto the back of the mutated big dog with an arrow step, and released the corpse vine to bind the big dog tightly.
The mutant dog has not yet reacted from the change of being sat on its body, and its limbs and head are wrapped in layers and cannot move. In particular, the wide open mouth was also wound several times, and the tongue could not be extended.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, the young people who fled for their lives also breathed a sigh of relief, slumped on the ground, and couldn't even speak.
Qing Dai took a serious look at the group of people who were "ungrateful" in Lin Xinran's mouth, a total of fifteen people, twelve of them were full of arrogance, wearing high-end sportswear, even after strenuous exercise, they can look young and stylish, and they are properly from the rich second generation. The other three are proper foils, and they are dressed like followers.
Seeing Qing Dai coming over, these people were still grateful to thank him, and a fair-skinned teenager shouted for his father to give Qing Dai a large sum of money.
Qingdai is a little funny, but there is no intention of shirking, others like to send things, she still has to pretend to be high as a poor **, and those who come do not refuse.
Seeing that this group of people slowly calmed down, Qing Dai asked, "When did you fall alone?" Did you run into anyone else? "It would be nice to come out of a crowded place, so you don't have to worry about finding someone.
However, their answer disappointed Qing Dai, these young people all went out to hang out together before the earthquake, and ended up trapped in a building, fortunately they were not injured by the flooding or the collapsed house, and they actually found some food, and when they came out of the house, the continuous heavy rain blocked their courage until the rain stopped. Who knows that bad luck, encountered a big mutant dog, even after the sky changed, they were pampered and cared for, they could only run for their lives, if they didn't meet Qingdai, it was really the life of making dog food.
Qing Dai looked at the young man in charge of storytelling, it seems that his name is Lin Han, it is estimated that he was that kind of microphone character before the sky changes, and the original thrilling experience is like an adventure in his mouth, and he can rehearse a drama on the spot.
Those young people were also very satisfied with Lin Han's cousin, and they all seemed to have become the heroic protagonists in the story, and they added their cousins to their own cousins.
Qing Dai also smiled and listened, venting her feelings, and she could also relieve pressure and adjust her mentality.
In the end, Qingdai asked them if they had any places to go, or follow them to the barracks.
Fortunately, these people have not lost their ability to think, and they have expressed that they follow Qingdai, and then promised a lot of benefits for their parents to give Qingdai.
When the twelve young men in fancy clothes finished speaking, the remaining three looked a little embarrassed.
Qingdai naturally wants to take them with them by the way, and save people to the end. But Lin Han and the others were worried that these poor people would make Qing Dai unhappy, so they shouted angrily: "If you can't get something, don't follow, I don't know what to do." โ
Qing Dai felt a little awkward in her heart, and said to stop: "It's not easy to help each other in the same boat, let's all be together, I don't want any benefits, just help each other." โ
Lin Xinran came to Qing Dai's side and sneered in a low voice: "When they blocked the big dog for you, why didn't they be so righteous and awe-inspiring?" If it's useless, throw it away, it's really an aristocratic style. โ
Only then did Qing Dai know why Lin Xinran had said the "ungrateful" comment before, but she looked at this group of people who were only about twenty, I am afraid that they are all petted babies in the family, more like willful big children, as long as they are taught well, they will grow up healthily.
Qing Dai has spoken, and this group of young people naturally no longer speaks, they are still immersed in the worship of Qing Dai's martial arts, naturally she is whatever she says, and people who don't know each other can teach at any time.
Everyone introduced each other, and although Qingdai was a little blind, she also tried her best to remember the person's name.
Lin Xinran stood at a relatively distant place and put on a respectful attitude.
In the corner where no one was paying attention, a young man in shabby clothes glanced at Lin Xinran vaguely, and the deep resentment and hatred in it made people shudder
