Chapter 30 "Grain Storage"
"Huhuhu." Qin Nuannuan held down her beating heart, leaned against a big tree, and exhaled heavily, unable to hide her heartbeat, it was so terrible, even the plants were fine, could they still live happily in this world.
"Dabai, go, go back." When her feet finally stepped on the ground of the space, she finally relaxed and sat on the floor to carefully examine the new mission that had just appeared in the system, rescuing the survivors in captivity.
Looking at this task, Qin Nuannuan couldn't help but guess one after another in her heart, she had to boldly guess that the plants here were already conscious, and what they were doing was to raise humans in captivity to become their food.
There is really an inexplicable sense of distortion in reversing the roles of the ruler and the ruled in this way, which really makes Qin Nuannuan, a human who was once at the top of the food chain, feel very weird.
But today she was really scared enough by the moving plants, so she took a shower and climbed into bed and got to the pillow. Because of exhaustion, I almost fell asleep at once.

"Grandpa, Sister Fang sent it over."
In the room sat a white-bearded grandfather on crutches, he looked tired and desperate, hearing this, his cloudy eyes closed for a moment, as if resigned to fate, "Got it." ”
"Woo woo woo, Ah Gong, if this continues, everyone in the village will be eaten."
The grandfather, who was called Ah Gong, knocked on the floor with a cane fiercely, "Cry, cry, cry, you know crying, when I said let's go, whoever let you one or two want to hide here, what is safe." ”
"Grandpa, everyone knows it's wrong, but what should we do now?"
The village chief closed his eyes, "What can I do, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the king of Hades wants us to die in the third watch, and we will not live in the fifth watch." ”
"But, Ah Gong, being captive by plants, being absorbed and dying as nutrients is really embarrassing. We're fighting them, aren't we? ”
The sky was completely blocked by dense branches, and it was impossible to catch the blue sky when you looked up, as if they were animals in captivity waiting to be slaughtered. This is no longer the world dominated by humans, and now the world has long been chaotic, and all the laws of the jungle are being revised.
Ah Gong opened his cloudy eyes and looked through the window at the dense branches that covered the sky, and muttered, "Don't be impulsive, we must do our best to preserve a little blood for the village. ”
Wang Hui was silent, he knew that Ah Gong was right, but waiting for death like this made him very aggrieved and confused.
He turned and left, and walked out of the village with a firewood knife, they could get out alive, they could, he would definitely find a way, he could.

"Grandpa, Grandpa!!!"
"Daiki, didn't I tell you? Be quiet, calm down. ”
Wang Hui fell to the ground, he didn't get up at once, he simply crawled towards the door of Ah Gong's room with his hands and feet, "Ah Gong, something is wrong, something is wrong!" ”
"What's wrong?"
"There are outsiders! There are outsiders! I've met outsiders outside!! ”
Ah Gong's hand trembled, and he almost threw away his crutches, he jumped up, looking more excited than Wang Hui. "Where, where?"
"At the gate of the village."
When Ah Gong appeared with Wang Hui's support, Qin Nuannuan was surrounded by everyone in the middle like watching animals in the zoo, and Da Bai was quietly squatting beside her, wagging his tail from time to time.
"Let's let go, let's let go."
"Ah Gong." "Village Chief." "Hello village chief."
The crowd gradually dispersed, revealing the village chief with silver hair on crutches.
"You're the village chief here?"
"Yes, girl, you're an outsider?"
The village chief asked eagerly, and the look of expectation in his eyes could not be concealed.
Qin Nuannuan nodded, "Yes." ”
"I want to ask how the girl got in? Is there a way to get out? ”
"I got in by mistake, and I'm trying to figure out how to get there."
The village chief's eyes darkened, and there was a gloom that he couldn't hide, "That's it." ”
Qin Nuannuan came this time, just to gather everyone's strength to go out, thinking about it, she had a hesitant look on her face, a hesitant look, as if she was inducing the village chief to speak according to her thoughts.
"Girl, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask."
"That's it, I saw it, there were people hanging from trees"
Wang Hui's hand tightened tightly, and his face tensed, "That's our villager." ”
The story is a long story, Qin Nuan Nuan naturally can't stand at the door and listen to their story, she swept the people around her, and took off the backpack on her back, "I still have some rice, pasta and canned food, if you don't mind, let's eat together." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, but no one moved, and they all turned their gazes to the village chief.
"Girl, is that okay?"
"Of course, I'll probably have to talk to you here for a while."
"Auntie, take down the things and cook a good meal." The village chief was on crutches, and for the first time showed a kind and relaxed smile, "Girl, come to the village chief's office, I'll tell you about the current situation." ”
Although the end of the world is coming, but because there are very few people who have become zombies in the village, and the food stored in the village has always been very rich, so everyone's unified idea is to stay in the village, and the turtle will not go out, although some people disagree, but in view of the fact that most people are reluctant to go out, so in order to be able to stay together as a family, almost everyone in the village stayed.
In the early days of the apocalypse, the village lived very peacefully, but in the past two months, something strange suddenly happened in the neighborhood, and one after another the villagers began to disappear without leaving a trace. An atmosphere of panic spreads through the village, and every seven days, one person disappears
The villagers began to investigate such inexplicable disappearances, and finally found that their village had been colonized with strange vegetation, which had eaten humans as food, and they had tried to attack, but this angered the strange plants, and almost all the young adults in the village were swept away and eaten by the vines, after which they no longer dared to act rashly.
After a month of exploring and getting along, they were gradually able to sacrifice plants in their own way to minimize the rate of death of the villagers.
"So that's why there are so few adults in the village?"
The village chief had a bleak smile on his face, and he couldn't hide the sadness on his face, "Because the child is the last hope in the village, and the child is too young, two children must be sacrificed a week, so we all try to sacrifice adults." ”
Qin Nuannuan's heart became heavier and heavier, "Can you tell me more about the characteristics of the vegetation here?" ”
"Actually, after so long, we don't know much about them, we only know that they can move, and they live by sucking the nutrients of living organisms, and their most powerful weapon is vines, but vines are difficult to cut."
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
The village chief paused, did not continue, but changed the topic: "It seems that the meal has been prepared, thanks to the girl, everyone can have a good meal, let's go, girl, eat first." ”
