Chapter 113: The End of the War
Since the first lunar month, Qing Dai has begun to bury herself in the cultivation of plants in the greenhouse at home.
Having scouted outside of Kyoto's safe zone in the snow a few years ago, she could have predicted that when spring blooms, the resurgence of zombie virus creatures will once again loom over people and other creatures. Regardless of whether the Zhao family can successfully carry out the plan, it is inevitable that the zombies will be summoned by the flesh and blood of the creatures, but there is only a gap in scale.
Qing Dai remembered the mutant corpse willow tree that had saved many people in C City, the ability to swallow zombies was more pure and direct than her ability, and it was also a kind of self-circulation in nature, energy saving, environmental protection and sustainability. So she tried to modify a few hardy mutant plants to lurk in areas where the virus was more dense, and when the ice melted, the hunger of these plants would not be inferior to that of zombie creatures, and the ones that were close at hand were the best supplements.
However, cold-tolerant plants have a more obvious disadvantage, that is, in order to take root and survive in the cold, they will generally be slender and petite, reduce heat dissipation and windfront area, and the root system is deeper into the ground, in order to obtain scarce water sources, and at the same time, the number of reproduction is much smaller.
Therefore, Qingdai had to collect a large number of mutant plant seedlings and seeds of non-mutated plants, brought them back to the base camp, and used a warm indoor environment to carry out the first step of intensive cultivation. As long as the mutant plant has other devouring mutation abilities, all of them have been forcibly modified with her ability. Zombie food for the modified plant. I bought some from Zhao Xufei of the Academy of Sciences. Although she felt a little strange when trading, the other party was very calm, which made her suspect that she was making a fuss.
The most incredible thing for her is that the little sapling that has fallen into a deep sleep since it produced a tree of Isorice nuts, when she planted it in the greenhouse and stayed with a large number of plants, all the greenhouse plants suddenly became like "brains", from only knowing how to move for food, to a real plant-type small animal, and communication was no longer vague and laborious. even met Xu Sheng's acquaintances. They joke around. will say hello, and in the face of Qingdai, the "food and clothing parents", they will also sell cute and coquettish, and they will be entangled and stalked when they are hungry. If it weren't for the ability of Indigo, it would be overwhelmingly powerful. I'm really going to be kidnapped by this group of "bear children".
However, with the wisdom of the plant, there are more possibilities. So Qing Dai is now after completing the reconnaissance mission. In addition to sleeping and visiting his mother, all the time is spent communicating with the cultivated plants, educating and cultivating affection, trying to train them into a special "fighting team". And if you can make good use of their self-reproduction ability, you can even use them as high-level "officers" and expand into a "plant army".
"I always thought you just wanted to be a quiet beauty queen." Xu Sheng seemed to look at the woman in front of him with some surprise, listening to her whimsical ideas, there were many possibilities, she seemed to be a bottomless fan, and he was always intoxicated.
"Ahem." Qingdai also felt as if she had become some kind of war maniac, obviously talking about such a quiet and elegant thing as plant cultivation, why did she start to point out the country? In order to remedy his image, he smiled and said: "I was messed up by these bear plants, what did you have to say just now?" ”
Xu Sheng looked at Qing Dai's blushing face, and there was more pampering warmth in his heart, and he didn't poke it, but said: "The arrangements you made outside are very effective, and you have saved a lot of patrols." ”
"What arrangement?" Qing Dai didn't react for a while, she said it so professionally, did I really sleepwalk to fight? But two seconds later, she remembered what had happened: "You mean the plants buried in places where there are more viruses?" So, the snow and ice are almost melting now? ”
Xu Sheng was not surprised by Qing Dai's keenness, they had been worried about this problem for a long time, and they were running too much, nodding and saying: "You should also see the snow removal project on the way to the hospital, although the temperature has not risen significantly, but the meteorological monitoring has determined that the winter is coming to an end, and the current continuous low temperature is precisely because the snow is going to melt, and when the snow completely melts, the ambient temperature will rise significantly." ”
Qing Dai unconsciously said: "So we must quickly remove the snow, so as not to flood the gold mountain." ”
Xu Sheng smiled: "You guessed this wrong, the drainage problem is not big, the drainage system in Kyoto is still very developed, and now there are many people in Kyoto, and there is no shortage of labor to drain it." The most worrying thing is that the water is easily polluted, the temperature rises and the air is humid, which is the condition for the virus to run rampant, even if there is no zombie virus, a small cold can be fatal. ”
When Qing Dai heard this, she was also silent for a while. She knows that because she is covered, she has always been like a rich daughter and a jobless vagrant, she wants to stay at home, no one has ever forced her to work, and she has food, drink and a big house to live in, and now she is about to leave the real people's livelihood. But Xu Sheng obviously didn't mean to talk about this, she looked up and asked, "Then what's the situation outside the Kyoto Safe Zone now?" What do I need to do again? ”
Xu Sheng was satisfied with Qing Dai's intelligence, from the early ignorance to now being able to keep up with the train of thought, this is a baby who can surprise him, he shook his head and said: "It's not what you need to do, but now you have to choose what you plan to do?" ”
Qing Dai followed Xu Sheng's gaze and looked at the plants behind her, her face full of doubts: "What am I going to do?" Wasn't I preparing for Plants vs. Zombies as we had envisioned? ”
Xu Sheng pulled over a broad-leaved branch that had been poking him behind his back, sat down on the ground, and then said peacefully: "As I said just now, the things you arranged outside have saved a lot of people, because the patrol is basically a militia, not a conventional force, so the combat effectiveness is relatively poor, and the ability to keep secrets is also insufficient." You are now a semi-public capable man and benefactor. ”
Qingdai didn't feel anything this time, she was already used to saving people all the way, and it was the bottom line of being a person to help if she could, so some people were grateful or ungrateful. It's all the norm, as long as it doesn't hurt her, she really ignores it.
Xu Sheng knew her thoughts without looking at her expression, and continued: "Your ability has been promoted, and the people above are going to make a fuss about you." Soon, someone will arrange for you to go deep into the cleaning of those discovered zombies, at most you will be paired with some comrades, but you will still be the main one, on the one hand, to appease the panic of the people, and on the other hand, someone will take the lead to clear the danger. Much less hassle. ”
Qing Dai finally suddenly said: "You asked me if I want to go out and wade into troubled waters?" Can this be denied? ”
Xu Sheng neither nodded nor shook his head. He added: "Actually, having an official name is good, and if it is used well, it can actually gather more people to come." You've got a name. It's not a call. It's okay to want to refuse if it's lingering. Even if it is semi-coercive, the official must pay a reasonable price in exchange for what is needed. It's not difficult for you. And once you do it, you can really enter our circle. Just ......"
Qing Dai looked at Xu Sheng obviously sitting on the ground, still elegant and elegant, with a pair of deep eyes locking herself, as if looking at the world. He hesitated, full of worry and reluctance: "It's just that I'm afraid that you don't like that environment and don't adapt to the practices there." You're so happy at home, and I'm going to protect you, but I'm afraid I'll turn you into a canary that can't help yourself......"
"Then I'll go!" Qing Dai felt that her heart was full of heat surging, listening to her lover's worried and chaotic words, her heart, which had always been quiet, was finally filled with sunshine, which made her want to laugh, but also wanted to face the danger, and stood side by side with the person in her heart: "I believe in the path you showed me, and I also want to stand under the sky with you." I do like to stay at home, but that doesn't mean I don't have the courage to fight, and it's tragic that I haven't faced the real life. ”
Xu Sheng looked at Qing Dai in a daze, as if he was in some kind of love. It wasn't until Qing Dai approached him curiously that she heard a sentence: "Okay, please don't forget to take me, a loyal knight, my queen." ”
The people of Kyoto were busy with the melting snow and ice, while the group of people who represented the core combat power of Huaxia disappeared from view.
Du Qinyue quickly got up from a puddle of mud, raised his hand to simply wipe off the dirt that blocked his vision, and then immediately grabbed the rope in front of him, and the whole person was like a spirit monkey, quickly climbed the rock wall more than ten meters high in a few steps, grabbed a flag, and then jumped down from the high platform, and the third entered the rest area of the queue.
"Three minutes and twenty seconds, pass." The camouflage-uniformed soldier who was taking notes on the side wrote as he spoke.
"I ...... Well! Du Qinyue almost burst into foul language when she heard this, three minutes and twenty seconds, isn't it an excellent result, how did it become a passing grade? But the previous experience of protest failure made her hold back, and the protest could only go to the chief, and the assessment process was not allowed to make noise, so she had to continue to poke the knife desperately with her eyes.
However, it wasn't until everyone had completed their training and announced that they would be disbanded on the spot for a while, that the poor little soldier who was mentally attacked silently walked behind Du Qinyue and whispered: "Sister, you don't have to protest, I have already inquired about the inside story." General Du has specifically instructed that your performance must be one grade higher than others every time, otherwise it will be too unfair for you to cut into the queue for this training. ”
When Du Qinyue heard this, a mouthful of blood was in her throat, but she couldn't find a trouble for others to carry out the military orders of her superiors, and she didn't have time to find the trouble of the culprit, how many years and months would she be able to go back and see Qingdai?
That's right, in order to participate in the training of this alien army to improve physical fitness, Du Qinyue was tricked by General Du, who was honest and dark-bellied, and signed an unknown number of military orders. For example, you must participate in training with the male soldiers of the ability system, such as achieving more than 80 points in each subject, otherwise you can't go back, otherwise you will be a puppy in default, and you can't apply for the help of the Du family.
Du Qinyue originally thought that if she suffered some hardships, she would be able to pull a group of military reinforcements for Qing Dai and her side, which was still very cost-effective, and guaranteed that she would be better than Xu Sheng, a little white face who could only talk about it, in front of Qing Dai. In this world, it's still the number one fist.
Who knows, General Du also squeezed his daughter's potential to a thorough! What does it mean that the grades must be one notch higher than others? Competing with male soldiers, it turns out that it takes 100 points against 80 points to tie, is this really biological? I just hope that she will make progress beyond expectations, and she won't be cruel to such an extent! Her other grades are already full marks, and now the weakest one is stuck, and she is simply frustrated.
If Du Qinyue knew, just because of the self-improvement plan she secretly applied for, the largest light bulb disappeared, so that Xu Sheng finally had the time and space to let go of the relationship value behind Qing Dai, and now she is a proper lover above the grade, I don't know what she will regret. Of course, this is also one of General Du's purposes, Xu Sheng's potential stock, it is natural for the old man to be optimistic, his daughter is too tender, don't waste time to participate in other people's love, and lose the favorability of sharing hardships all the way in vain, which is really a waste.
Just when Du Qinyue was dejected and calculating how long it would take for him to finish his training, a communication soldier ran over with a copy of the document from afar, saluted and handed it to the lieutenant colonel who was always monitoring the scene.
The lieutenant colonel looked at the entire document coldly, his face moved slightly, and he quickly recovered his expressionlessness. When the signal soldier left, he stepped forward and shouted in a strong voice: "Assemble! ”
Du Qinyue restrained her depression, quickly stood in her position, and raised her head with her chest straight.
"Now there is a temporary mission, with a folk anomaly, to clean up the outside of the safe zone, which is not very difficult, but it is also dangerous. Your training has been basically completed, and the assessment has been carried out for more than half of the time, so this task will be used as a supplementary assessment, is there any objection? The lieutenant colonel asked clearly.
The team gathered in the audience heard that there were countless eye contacts, but there was no noise, they were the real strangers among the soldiers, pride and responsibility, so that they absolutely had the courage to face a challenge.
"Good." The lieutenant colonel was not surprised, and continued: "Then I will give you two hours to eat, bathe, change into combat clothes, and prepare to go!" ”
"Yes!" The response was thunderous.
Du Qinyue listened to this temporary task, and her heart was extremely happy, she could finally get out of this special training territory where birds don't lay eggs, she had come from south to north with thousands of mountains and rivers, and she was used to seeing colorful scenery. This unchanging environment almost suffocated her. Outside the security zone, a group of them will be assigned to appear as a group of parafunctional soldiers, and it seems that the situation is not very good, but if you want to fight quickly, you will suppress the impact. I don't know if Qing Dai knows this information, they have been busy for a winter, and if they lack results, they will definitely be sad. Well, she has to do a good job this time, and let Qing Dai worry less.
Just when Du Daqianjin was worried and happy to take care of himself very handsomely, ready to fight a hardship, and went to open the screen in front of Qing Dai, the strangers who acted with the army were also sent to the peripheral reception of this special training camp by a special car. If it weren't for someone to lead it, ordinary people really wouldn't have imagined that the training location of the Alien Army was not the original military region, but a semi-underground building on the periphery of the security zone.
"Please wait, Unit 4 will be there in ten minutes." The soldiers who received him were a little surprised, and there were always some people who were above the top of the civil ability who would reach it in advance, but his military qualities allowed him to maintain his usual politeness and strictness.
"Okay, thank you." The visitor nodded and smiled, obviously satisfied, and did not force anyone to provide anything other than tea, and was extremely calm.
These receptionists, who have seen a lot of excellent products, have a slight sideways look, but they are still cold. If it's really powerful, it is estimated that it will not come to please the combat power of the army, and it is not polite to just make a gesture. There's no way, there are too many people who have a little ability now, and normal people have to be forgotten about everything.
Ten minutes passed, and a group of elite figures appeared at the gate next to the reception on time.
The only visitor in the large camp who was not wearing a military uniform walked out steadily, looking at the soldiers who were about to cooperate in front of him. No matter how tall, short, fat or thin, that kind of iron-blooded aura came to his face, even the only female soldier among them was no exception.
But now the female soldier has completely lost the arrogant posture that has always been better than her male comrades, but looked over with a surprised face: "Qingdai? What are you doing here? (To be continued......)
PS: Huh, I took a day off today and read a recommended novel: The Man on Paper, very good. The brains are dull, and the yards are slowing down...... Are the fever sequelae coming now?
