420 The first step in planting is to put the seeds in the soil
More than two years after the complete cessation of human activity, the planet's skies look surprisingly clear and blue.
Under the spread of vines and weeds, the abandoned city was gradually painted with deep shades of green. Groundwater seeped out of the cracks and murmured into streams between the red bricks of the old sidewalk; Whenever the wind blows, the sky will be pushed into the sky with clouds that are so white that they are lovely.
Without humans, the planet began to take on a unique and barren beauty.
The wind gradually became stronger, and the field of vision was also divided into several strands of hair that was blowing, Ji Shanqing brushed his hair and glanced at Lin Sanjiu beside him.
"Sister, do you want to go down?" As he spoke, he glanced down at the street nearly a hundred meters below: "It's a little cold on the roof, after all, you haven't eaten in a week." β
"It's fine." Lin Sanjiu smiled at him, and then her thoughts obviously drifted to another place: "You say...... What would that copy look like? β
Ji Shanqing admired her a little faintly, and she was able to ask this sentence when she was about to enter. The question had been on his mind for a week, but all he could do at the moment was shake his head.
"Anyway, it would be nice if I could really replenish my energy - even if there were other conditions." He sighed softly.
When Lin Sanjiu just got the number plate, the two didn't wait obediently. No matter what happens, the solution is still in their own hands - so at Lin Sanjiu's suggestion, the two of them can be regarded as trying a lot of ways to eat. It's just that none of them succeeded.
If the two conditions of "complete sealing" and "vacuum" are not met at the same time, the [Nostradamus Card] can be almost useless - the card has a limited capacity, and even the particles on a piece of cake account for 4.5% of its total capacity, and it is impossible to completely absorb all the particles contained in the air in a space - let alone the new air that seeps in through the small gaps.
Ji Shanqing suspected that the crypt particles might only react when they came into contact with gastric juice, so he had an idea: if Lin Sanjiu was given intravenous glucose, it would be able to support it. It's just that this method can't provide comprehensive nutrition, and second, the end of this world has been coming for more than two years, and it must be very difficult to find materials that can replace food, so even if you can pay more attention in the future, you still have to rely on "Harry Farm" for now.
Seeing that this road is not going to work. The duo's attention shifted to Harry Farm.
According to Farmer Harry. In front of Lin Sanjiu, there were still seven people waiting to be "planted". However, after carefully examining their surroundings, they found no sign of the Evolver - in fact, even though the two had taken turns monitoring the entrance to Harry's farm, they still found nothing. I didn't see anyone coming in or out at all.
So. I can't even find someone to inquire about the "Harry Farm".
Perhaps this is why Lin Sanjiu insisted on staying on the rooftop - looking down from here. You could see most of the vast and neat farm, and the ant-small farmer, Harry, who went between the hut and the field on his own every day. I don't see at all when he "planted people".
β¦β¦ With a faint hint of anxiety, when almost half of the seventh day had passed, the text on Lin Sanjiu's number plate finally changed from "Firstinline" to "Currentone".
When he came to the door of Harry's farm again, the farmer Harry was already waiting in front of the hut with a shovel.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, the last seed is a bit difficult, so it's a bit long...... This shovel? Don't worry, this one is just for show. His laughter sounded unnecessarily hearty, and he made a gesture to signal Lin Sanjiu to follow him, and then looked at Ji Shanqing again: "...... This one, well, this friend, shouldn't need to be planted, right? Are you going to come along? β
Ji Shanqing thought for a while and said with a smile: "If it's okay, I want to watch my sister be planted." β
"Of course," Harry agreed unexpectedly, "it's just that the planting process isn't very interesting, and some people find it weirdly boring." β
"You said the planting process ......," Lin Sanjiu hurriedly took a step forward and asked, "What the hell is going on?" Can you tell me more about the process? β
Harry scratched his face, as if the new stubble was itching him a little: "Of course this is no problem, I'll explain it when I enter the house, you will naturally understand better...... Ah, come, come in, you're welcome. β
As they spoke, the three of them had reached the door of the hut, and Harry took the steps up the stairs and opened the door for them. Lin Sanjiu and the gift bag glanced at each other with some doubt, and finally walked in with their feet raised.
β¦β¦ Even though they had wondered many times what Harry's hut would look like, the two of them were still amazed by what they saw.
There were no log-paved floors or fireplaces for heating; Furniture like sofas, rugs, dining tables, and so on, is almost nothing - in fact, there is only one thing in the whole house.
A pit.
Surrounded by wooden walls, there is a fresh, moist earth. As soon as she pushed the door in, Lin Sanjiu was caught off guard and almost slipped into this deep pit with one foot - she was busy steady, and then she carefully led Ji Shanqing from the edge of the pit.
At the other end of the pit was a hill of dirt; Judging by the color of the top layer, it looks like the pit has only just been dug once. Lin Sanjiu bent down and looked at the bottom of the pit, but even with her eyesight, she couldn't see where the deep pitch-black bottom was leading.
"Is the numbered plate for you still there?" Harry lowered the shovel and asked, turning his head.
"Here," Lin Sanjiu hurriedly called out the number plate, and was about to hand it over, but Harry waved his hand and said, "Don't give it to me, you remember this, it must be hung around your neck the whole time, not even in your pocket." Only with it are you a seed, a plant. Without this number plate, you're just a person buried alive in the ground. β
Lin Sanjiu was chilled by his imagination, and hurriedly hung up the number plate.
However, Harry felt that he had not yet explained the seriousness, and said in an aggravated tone: "The number plate is the key to your life. This pit is the passage through which the seed enters the earth, and when you go down from here, if you have a number plate on your neck, you will feel the same movement and breathing as if you were on the ground. But even if the number plate leaves you for half a second, you will find that your whole body is crushed under the ground, and you can't even move; Even if the numbered plate will be returned immediately. There will be a lot of earth between you and you - until then. You'd wish you were a normal person who was incapacitated, because you would die sooner. β
"Can't you, as a farmer, do something?" Ji Shanqing asked with a little pale face.
"I'm a farmer, I only manage my crops." Harry immediately responded. ββ¦β¦ You have to dig up the dead, you have to find the gravedigger. β
"That'...... I am a seed. Is it just a matter of jumping from here? Lin Sanjiu held down the number plate tightly with one hand, and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: Maybe there is a hospital nearby that has not been ransacked......
Of course, it's probably too late to mention glucose now.
Harry crouched down. patted the edge of the pit, as if to signal her to climb down the edge of the pit: "Almost...... When you go down, you'll see a passageway, and if you follow it, you'll come to the place I left for you on the farm. When you're in place, I'll start filling the soil and watering it...... In order to prove that you are a good seed, remember to strive for as many resources as possible so that you can successfully take root in the land. β
Lin Sanjiu frowned, not knowing what made him feel a little concerned about these words. It's just that she looked up and saw that several imaginary characters and Ji Shanqing were silent and didn't speak, so she changed her mind and asked, "Then what?" Can't I move after rooting? β
"Oh, the so-called rooting and sprouting is only an indication of your state, and it does not mean that your body will actually take root." Harry bared a mouthful of snow-white teeth at her, "What is your physical strength now, what is it like in the seed stage; When you get rooted, you will slowly feel stronger. After breaking the ground and sprouting, you have to do the same thing: get as much nutrients as possible and ripen as soon as possible. β
"How am I going to drawβ"
"For the rest of the whole process, I will tell all the seeds in detail about the situation and help you." Harry interrupted her with a smirk, "After all, it's going to take too long to talk about it here...... You've got a couple of seeds behind you. β
"I have a question." While Lin Sanjiu was hesitating, Ji Shanqing spoke: "...... I know it's a copy, but what benefits can you get from farming? β
Harry was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "My good thing is that I can continue to exist like this, no matter how it is. β
That is, does he have to do this because of the type of copy? As soon as Lin Sanjiu thought of this, he heard Martha's voice in his ears: "...... Copies like this are rare. β
"Sister," when she was still immersed in her thoughts, Ji Shanqing called her softly on the side. Lin Sanjiu looked up, and the expression of the gift bag looked a little strangely serious.
"When you go down, be careful. For now, this is the best thing we can do - if you don't have to eat for a few months, your newly generated potential will increase and grow, and you will soon be completely restored. He whispered, as if he didn't want Harry to hear him. β¦β¦ I'll be waiting for you to come out of the same building where we were hiding. β
Lin Sanjiu nodded. Now that she has made up her mind to do so, she feels that it is useless to worry about this and that at this time. Therefore, her own tone was much lighter: "Be careful yourself, find a few more clothes to wear, and bring the things I give you." β
After saying goodbye to the gift bag briefly, Lin Sanjiu climbed down the dirt pit little by little.
When I went up, I already felt that the pit was terrifyingly deep, but when I actually came down, I realized its steepness and depth. After climbing down for a while, the light above his head suddenly dimmed; Her physical strength was not good at the moment, she didn't step on it, and she fell down with a "bang" - in the process of rolling, she also faintly heard Ji Shanqing screaming from above.
Fortunately, the soil was soft, there were no stones, and the pit was funnel-shaped; When Lin Sanjiu finally stabilized his body, except for some meat and vegetables in front of him, he didn't have any injuries on his body - touching the number plate on her chest was still there, she raised her head and shouted "I'm fine", she didn't hear Ji Shanqing's response for a long time, thinking that the place where she was was was already very deep.
It took nearly twenty minutes for Lin Sanjiu to finally step on the ground and take out the [Ability Polish].
Where she was, it happened to be a small dirt chamber that connected to the slope where she had come. If you look up, you will see that the light that is coming out of the hole is barely the size of a fist.
Raising the [Ability Polish] to take a look, Lin Sanjiu quickly discovered a narrow corridor. After turning on the pure touch state, she raised the silver light in her hand and burrowed into the corridor.
β¦β¦ In retrospect, Harry's instructions could have been vague.
Lin Sanjiu thought as he walked along the road.
What happens when you get to your assigned position? Are you drenched in dirt and water? So that you can get nutrients......?
She has also experienced a lot of strange copies, but this one is the most confusing to her.
Holding the silver light and walking for a while, Lin Sanjiu's footsteps suddenly slowed down.
It was almost impossible to detect it without pure touch, and the corridor in front of it did not extend far before it reached the end, and from the small hole at the end, a faint human voice and a faint light were coming from this moment.
Her footsteps were almost silent, but the noise coming from the hole was suddenly silent.
"There's a new person coming!"
A crisp female voice immediately rang out - and then, before Lin Sanjiu could react, a figure poked out from the edge of the cave.
In the silver light, a goose-faced girl met her eyes. Hurriedly, as if coping, she smiled at Lin Sanjiu, and she quickly retracted her head; Next, Lin Sanjiu heard her voice in the undisguised voice, and said to the cave: "The eighth person is a woman!" Are you going to be happy now? (To be continued.) )
