421 Water well during the seeding period1

Lin Sanjiu never thought that the seven people who were "planted" before her would all be in this dirt room at this moment.

The half-circular earthen chamber on the side walls was much larger than the one she had been in when she had just fallen. Whether it is the size or height, it looks the size of a hotel lobby; The most striking thing is that there are three small doors embedded in the earthen wall on the other side—on the most marginal door, there is a piece of paper with the words "Nos. 42 to 49" written on it.

"This ...... You are the ones who came down before me," Lin Sanjiu's gaze swept over the crowd, paying close attention to the number plates on their bodies. In the dim earthen room, only the number plate emitted a faint fluorescence, which looked much more conspicuous than people: "Why are they all gathered here?" ”

When she walked into the hall full of doubts, except for the goose-faced girl, the rest of the people were standing or sitting, and there was one lying in the corner, and the atmosphere seemed even quite leisurely—

"I'm waiting for you," a fair-skinned young man with number 44 on the number plate smirked at her, "It's boring to keep facing a few men, but luckily there's another girl." ”

Lin Sanjiu just frowned, and a calm voice sounded on the other side: "No. 44, don't talk nonsense." ”

She looked up and saw a serious-looking, stocky middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on the side, with 42 written on the number plate on his chest. He turned to Lin Sanjiu and said, "49, right?" I'm sorry, but these young people have been stuffy underground for a long time, and their speech is inevitably a bit messy...... But we do have to wait for you. Now here you are. We'll be able to go in—you see that too, right? The door on the far left? From there, we can enter the spot reserved for us by Harry, but only if all eight seeds from this batch are entered. ”

"All in?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned, "But Harry made me wait for seven days, saying that every seed must take a day to plant...... "She thought that the previous seeds had been planted in the ground.

"I waited three days for Harry to let me down." The goose-faced girl at No. 45 interjected—perhaps because she and Lin Sanjiu were the only two women in the earthen room, so her attitude was naturally a little intimate and casual when she spoke: "In one day, it seems that only one person can come down, and Brother 42 has been waiting in this earthen room for many days." ”

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but notice that they were only commensurate with each other by numbers; Although she felt more comfortable doing this, she still asked curiously, "How?" Don't you exchange names? ”

"Number 47 thinks it's better." The egg-faced girl explained with a smile. Then he pointed to the young man in the corner who was sitting furthest away from the crowd. No. 47 was wearing a cyan gown, which was a style that Lin Sanjiu had never seen before, and it reminded her of Ji Shanqing's cloak.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go inside." A man in a turban stood up. With his movements. A number plate reading "43" hung down from his chest.

In Lin Sanjiu's field of vision at this time. In addition to these seeds, there are many other people standing in twos and threes; Some are familiar friends, some are faces that I can't say I've seen somewhere—it's because these hallucinations come and go. It took her several minutes to realize a problem: "...... Huh? Why don't you see numbers 46 and 48? ”

"They've gone in and waited." Because he came the earliest, the middle-aged man who faintly had a leading demeanor responded.

"Don't you have to go in together?"

"No, it's okay to go in first, it's just that nothing happens." Number 42 is very patient in answering questions, and people can't help but admire that he can do the same thing seven times: "...... It seemed like he wouldn't move on until everyone was inside. ”

"What's next...... Refers to watering? Lin Sanjiu asked hesitantly.

"Who knows, are you worried?" Before No. 42 could speak, the white young man with a somewhat frivolous attitude just now poked his head out from behind her: "If you're worried, you might as well stand by my side for a while, right?" I'll protect you. ”

To be honest, since the end came, it was the first time Lin Sanjiu had met such an evolutionary - in the eyes of most people, there was no distinction between men and women in this world for a long time; Therefore, she didn't know how to deal with it, so she just shook her head and walked a few steps away from No. 44.

"It's so cold...... "No. 44's grunt floated from behind him.

Before everyone was talking, No. 47, who was at the forefront and was dressed in a long robe, had already opened the door - behind the door was not a room as Lin Sanjiu thought, but a corridor. The crowd walked in one after another, and as she walked by, she overheard a glance at the notice paper posted on the door.

"Nos. 42 to 49" - this is simply a line written on the paper.

As soon as his eyes swept over the paper, Lin Sanjiu then heard No. 43, who was walking in front and wearing a flower turban, suddenly asked, "Why are you staying here?" ”

Who?

Because the corridor was narrow and dark, the eight people and several hallucinations were crowded together, and Lin Sanjiu couldn't see who No. 43 was talking to—

"We tried, but we couldn't get in, so we probably had to wait for everyone to come together." An unfamiliar voice said. "Number 49 is coming?"

"Why, didn't you notice it the last time you came? 49Here it is, and there it is. No. 43 turned around and pointed casually in the direction of Lin Sanjiu, "What about No. 48?" Oh, over there—all right, let's move on. ”

"Tell you secretly," the girl from No. 45 suddenly approached and smiled: "46 and 48 seem to be a couple." ”

"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a few seconds, and then she understood what she meant-after the extreme temperature hell, she almost never met a heterosexual couple again, but she didn't expect to meet a same-sex couple here.

Because there were people crowded in front of him, and most of them were men of similar height, Lin Sanjiu never saw No. 46 and No. 48. He walked forward with the crowd for a few minutes. In contrast, the second road, which was much shorter, quickly reached the bottom.

At the end of the corridor is greeted by the eight seeds, a very strange space.

Let's say it's a beehive, and it's not so dense and neat - the [Ability Polish] has long been put away, and with a faint light in someone's hand, Lin Sanjiu can barely see that the soil is so sparse that it is divided into small cubicles one by one, and it fills the ceiling in this space. If you are hunched over, you can barely squeeze a person into each compartment, and the compartments are staggered and layered on top of each other, and it looks like you can climb all the way to the top.

"This ...... What is the purpose? I don't know which one of the crowd asked.

"If you want the seed to germinate," the calm voice of No. 42 undoubtedly belonged to No. 42, "except for the necessary watering and fertilization." The soil can't be too dead. Be lighter and breathable. I didn't expect this copy to be quite close to the real thing. ”

"Big brother 42 knows a lot!" A girl's voice smiled and said, it must be number 45.

"Where, before the end of the world, I like to raise flowers and grow vegetables. It also made my wife complain a lot - she doesn't like to attract insects. ”

The crowd burst into nervous laughter.

Waited a few more seconds. I saw that there was no movement in the earthen chamber. Everyone couldn't sit still. The eight of them didn't know what the cubicle was for, so they all huddled in the small area at the door, and they all stood uncomfortably; No. 47, who has always been silent, became the first to speak out: "What's going on? What about the Harry? ”

It was as if I had heard my own name. Farmer Harry's voice suddenly echoed through the dirt room.

"Hey, you're all here...... Well, well, I'll explain to you the rules of filling and watering right away. His voice sounded a little surprised for some reason—although Lin Sanjiu didn't know what he was surprised about: "Okay, everyone has seen the earthen room in front of you, right?" There's a lot of lattices in the dirt room, right? In fact, there are a full hundred squares here, no more, no less. ”

Farmer Harry seems to be a bit of a rambling man.

"The period before you germinate is called the seed stage. During the seed period, each cell will be filled with the nutrients you need - during this period, it will be the water droplets. There were eight people present, and each of them needed to collect 40 drops of water in order to successfully enter the next germination stage. Harry said a little vaguely, "I wonder if any of you here have planted anything?" There is often not just one seed in a pit...... It is necessary to put several seeds to ensure that they will germinate; It's the same here. ”

Hearing this, all eight of them fell silent.

Even without looking at it, Lin Sanjiu could sense the change in the atmosphere in the venue now—if everyone got along quite well just now, they were already a little nervous now.

Although it was not explained, the meaning of Farmer Harry's words was understood by everyone: there were probably no 320 drops of water droplets, and among the eight people present, I was afraid that there would be eliminated seeds - after all, this is a copy, and it is really not that simple!

"Is there enough droplets of water here for each of us to sprout?" In the darkness, someone raised their voices to ask - even though they were buried deep in the ground at the moment, it was unknown if Harry could hear them.

But Harry did hear it.

"Rest assured, there is absolutely enough water droplets." To everyone's surprise, he immediately responded, "If only you find the drops of water and identify them, it will be fine." ”

It's not hard to understand when you find it, he said ...... discernment?

"Oh, it's all because the chemical factories around it are polluting the water in the vicinity." Harry suggested an obvious reason for the dungeon's background, "Even though I use the well water in my backyard to water my crops, it's inevitable that contaminated groundwater will come to my farmland. They don't look like well water, so you have to be careful when collecting them - if you absorb a 'polluted source', your stamina will be partially weakened, and it is said that the level of weakness is equivalent to that of a human not eating for a month. If you absorb clean water, your physical strength will not change, and you will only slowly become stronger after germination. ”

In this way, even an evolutionary can absorb a limited amount of polluted water - since clean water is not helpful for physical strength, that is, once you absorb more polluted water than you can do, you will definitely die even if you absorb 40 clean water sources that are enough to germinate.

"How can you tell?" I don't know who asked.

"I'm sorry, but as a farmer, I can't tell the difference, and by the time I find out that a seed has been poisoned by the contaminated water, it's often too late." Harry had no comment on the most critical issue, "But don't worry, as long as there is a number plate, I will dig you out even if you die......"

So what's the use!

Lin Sanjiu just muttered something in his heart, only to hear No. 45 ask again: "Then how do we collect water droplets?" What do water droplets look like? ”

"Each droplet is huge, the size of a fist, transparent in color, and can be carried, exchanged, and collected, just like a pen or a piece of paper." Harry said honestly, "Getting the droplets in the earthen chamber is only the first step; Once you've made sure that the water droplets on your hands are a non-polluting source of water, you need to absorb them – after all, seeds need to be drunk to germinate. It's just that there is no limit to the time of absorption, you can find one to absorb one, or you can collect 40 and then absorb it in one go. In addition, it should be noted that it cannot be absorbed in the earthen room, so you must go back to the hall just now. ”

This rule is a bit strange......

Lin Sanjiu tilted his head and fell into deep thought. I don't know when there was an extra figure beside her, Gong Daoyi lowered his head slightly, and whispered two words in her ear: "For example." ”

Example? What are the examples?

Is he trying to remind me of something-

Lin Sanjiu was excited, and immediately turned his head to ask more; It's just that when she turned her head, it wasn't Gong Daoyi's face that was on her, but almost hit No. 44, who had white skin.

"You're too close to me." Frowning, she said coldly. "Stand back."

"Ahh......h

"Did everyone understand the rules?" Probably not even aware of the strange atmosphere in the dirt chamber deep underground, Harry announced with a smile: "Then after pouring dozens of times, I will start watering - 10, 9, 8、......"

couldn't wait for 8 to be counted, and the people who had reacted had already pounced on the grid in front of them. (To be continued.) )

PS: Today, the computer touchpad suddenly broke for a while, so scared that I thought it couldn't be updated...... The main thing is that if I don't update it today, I will probably forget all about my brain hole tomorrow, and then I will have to go out without materials (pay attention to the distinction)...... You're going to talk about shamelessness again!

Although the comment area seems to be a little cold recently, I still like this copy, but I'm afraid that the enthusiasm will not last until the end of the copy, eh, hehe.
