Volume 1: The Source of Life Chapter 9: The Airplane

Old Man Xiao couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he looked at his grandson's distant figure, this was his grandson, the best commander of the Self-Defender Alliance.

He is already old and does not know how long he can help his grandson.

He has been without parents since he was a child, and he has grown up with me, an old man, and I only hope that this boy will be able to sit here in peace until he reaches adulthood, until the position of supreme commander is handed over to him.

Old Man Xiao stood up, picked up his crutches and walked to the map on the side, and pointed his finger at the slightly green Eighth District.

His left leg was empty.

The attack of termites was just before dusk, and waves of termites crawled up the road, and they crossed the mountains and mountains from all over the place to the town of the eighth arrondissement.

Grandpa Meng had been busy in the town, and he knew that the situation was not good when he saw that the termites across the road were not far away. At this moment, he didn't know that the only small forest behind the town that had no trench and led to the hill had been surrounded by the three of Sangyu.

Mulberry pinched his nose and began to sprinkle the strange powder he had mixed onto the grass. She sneezed unintentionally, spewing out a piece of spice powder, and smoked Meng Qinghu and Jing Zhan on the side to sneeze constantly.

"Brother, come on, my nose hurts and my eyes hurt."

Sang Yu handed the small cloth bag to Meng Qinghu, and handed another small cloth bag to Jing Zhan, and instructed them: "You sprinkle carefully, and you must be even." You can't sprinkle it all at once, and you can't sprinkle it all at once. ”

looked at the mulberry who was far away and stood in the limelight on the hillside. Meng Qinghu pursed his lips and raised his sleeves, covered his mouth and nose, and began to sprinkle powder on the long grass dragon.

He doesn't know what his sister is for, but he knows that this is really not a good job, it is too smoky, and his nose, eyes and mouth feel spicy.

But if they don't do it, they want their sister to do it, thinking of her sister being spicy and red, and she looks teary. Meng Qinghu relented, forget it, he should accompany his sister to play at home.

Little girl or something, it's trouble!

Grandpa Meng watched the termites slowly retreat, and the people in the town cheered, and the termites finally retreated. But Grandpa Meng's heart gradually sank, he didn't believe that termites just gave up. How could they have waited so long and given up so quickly.

"Grandpa."

Sang Yu ran all the way in from the back of the town.

"Didn't you go to the cave? Who told you to come back, it's so dangerous here. ”

Grandpa Meng's eyes glared at Meng Qinghu and Jing Zhan, and Jing Zhan glanced at Sang Yu, who was laughing and running to talk to Qiao Lina, and did not say a word. Meng Qinghu scratched his head helplessly, could he say that his sister was coming?

"Grandpa, the termites have gone to the back mountain." Sang Yu suddenly pointed to the northeast corner of the town and said.

In the northeast corner of the town, there is a small forest over there. It's a bit too much to say that the grove is a little too much, with only a dozen trees and a patch of quinoa. Originally, when the town of the 8th district was being built, the Self-Defense Forces suggested that these trees be cut down.

But it was a real tree, and at the end of this year, when animals and plants were becoming more and more scarce, Grandpa Meng felt that it would be a pity if they were cut down. Transplanting was also afraid of death, so a wall was built where, separating them from the road, and no wide channels were dug.

This group of termites is too smart, this is the only weakness of District 8, I didn't expect to be found by them.

If they come in from there, they can go directly into the town, or they can go into the back mountain.

For Grandpa Meng, every household in the town has a protective shield, so if he can't hide in the house, his life will definitely be saved.

But if this group of things enters the back mountain, then Grandpa Meng's hard work in the past few years, those grains, vegetables, fruit trees, and those scarce plants left behind will no longer exist.

Lao Meng frowned and looked at the sunset that was about to set, and the last touch of sunset gradually began to fade in the sky.

To be sure, in less than half an hour, it will be completely dark. When the time comes, termites enter the town through the back door, and then they can only hide in the house and wait for the command post to spray pesticides.

In the same way, if the pesticides are sprinkled too much, those crops in the back mountains are useless, at most a little better than termite transit.

"I'll take a look."

As soon as Lao Meng was about to go to the northeast corner, he heard Meng Qinghu shouting: "Sangyu, where are you going?" ”

Sang Yu had just touched the emergency defense station in the center of the town, and when she heard her brother shouting, she turned back with a smile: "I'll go find the firebird." ”

There are only ten firebirds in the protective station, and four have been released by Lao Meng, and only six are left. Lao Meng watched Sang Yu step in, and his heart jumped, did Sang Yu see him flying birds today today, and thought it was very funny.

Grandpa Meng strode towards the hut, and before he could reach the hut, he saw a firebird flying out of the chimney on the roof with its tail in tow.

"Grandpa." Sang Yu ran out of the room with a smile: "I just released a firebird. ”

Xiao Muchen's plane had not yet flown over the town in the eighth district, when he saw a fire behind the town.

He was stunned in his heart, was he too late?

When the plane reached the sky over the town, he realized that a large number of termites were being forced backwards to swell down the road, as if there was something terrifying in front of them.

Xiao Muchen turned around and ordered, "Open the hatch and I'll take a look." ”

The hatch opened, and Xiao Muchen squatted to the side and lifted the telescope. At this moment, the plane happened to fly into the range of smoke, causing Xiao Muchen to cough painfully.

The pilots in the cabin were coughing and shaking their hands, and the plane almost fell headlong.

"What does it smell like?"

He immediately scrambled to close the hatch and pulled the base's most precious plane into the sky, deviating from the direction of the smoke.

Xiao Muchen settled down and pointed to the termites on the highway: "Spray pesticides on the highway, don't let go on both sides of the highway, don't affect the eighth district." ”

In the town below, Sang Yu pointed to the distant plane and shouted, "Look, the plane." ”

The people of the town watched a small plane heading in the direction of the termites, and they all knew that the base had sent someone.

Grandpa Meng picked up Sang Yu and wanted to ask her what she set on fire behind the town.

Sang Yu preemptively said: "Big brother and Jing Zhan killed a mutant golden retriever together. ”

Grandpa Meng did not reproach them for their recklessness, but pulled the three of them and carefully examined them, and when he saw that there were no scars, he praised: "You three are great, and when you grow up, you can join the Self-Defense Forces like Grandpa." ”

Nana, who ran over from the side, shouted, "I'm also going to follow Brother Xiaohu into the Self-Defense Force." ”

Xiaohuzi frowned impatiently: "You are a girl, why are you following me?" ”

Except for his sister at home, he has no patience to take care of other girls, it's too troublesome!

Nana's big eyes immediately overflowed with tears, and she was about to cry.

Sang Yu hurriedly ran over and hugged Nana, who was about to cry: "Sister Qiaoqiao, don't be afraid, Sang Yu protects you, and Brother Jing Zhan." ”

Jing Zhan, who was named by Sang Yu, could only nod helplessly.

Meng Qinghu, who was stared at by Sang Yu, Meng Qinghu waved his hand helplessly: "If you follow, just follow, don't be annoying." ”

But I secretly muttered in my heart, you follow me and I don't care about you, I can only take care of my own sister.

When Qiao Lina heard Meng Qinghu say that she should follow, she immediately became happy, wiped the tears on her face, and took off the butterfly hairpin on her head and carefully pinned it on Sang Yu's braid.

"Sang Yu, you are so good-looking, you are the best-looking girl I have ever seen."

Sang Yu touched the bow on the braid, and also praised Qiao Lina: "Sister Qiaoqiao, you are also good-looking, you are the second best-looking girl I have ever seen." ”

The adults on the side laughed when they heard it, praising people for being the second good-looking, this girl is really thick-skinned. However, this is Sang Yu, she is indeed the best-looking girl in the town, and she is right.

"Let's go, grandpa will take you back to wash and see if it's dirty."

Grandpa Meng picked up Sang Yu with one hand and walked towards the hill, there was a very small hot spring in the mountain, which was larger than the largest large bathtub, and the three grandchildren soaked in it just right.

After having mulberry elm, Grandpa Meng dug a small hot spring pool next to it for his little granddaughter. Girls, you have to be clean and as sweet as milk candy.

While washing Jing Zhan's hair, Grandpa Meng asked, "Huzi, tell Grandpa how you killed that golden retriever today." And what's that spicy and choking smoke that Sang Yu burns?"

The water in the hot spring pool was a little weak, and Meng Qinghu began to talk to his grandfather vividly that they were not at ease and were going to come out to see, and he saw the golden retriever chasing Sang Yu, thanks to the help of Jing Zhan, otherwise Sang Yu would have been scratched by the golden retriever.

Hearing this, Grandpa Meng blamed himself for a while, he shouldn't let Sang Yu go back to the cave alone.

Huzi also said that Sang Yu asked them to collect weeds everywhere, and mixed all the spices of the pepper noodles together and sprinkled them on the weeds.

Jing Zhan on the side listened quietly, silently washing the bruises on his arms.

After listening to Xiaohuzi, Grandpa Meng carefully deduced the matter and told the two children. What if they encounter a mutated beast.

He believes that as long as the two children experience a few more times, they will definitely be very good children. Only by becoming stronger can you protect yourself and this homeland.

As for what Sang Yu did, he only said one sentence, protect his sister in the future and listen to his sister.

The two boys, who were just in their teens, nodded desperately, they would definitely protect their sister and listen to her sister.

"Shall we go back to town or continue to live here?"

While eating, Grandma Meng couldn't help but ask the question she wanted to ask.

"Just live here, didn't Jing Zhan get us rice seeds last time, I want to try it." Grandpa Meng put down his chopsticks and touched Sang Yu's soft hair: "Sang Yu, can you help Grandpa plant rice together?" ”

"Okay."

Sang Yu is very fond of planting, and the vegetables she grows are easy to survive and have high yields.

Grandma Meng was a little reluctant, and frowned: "I don't know how many generations of seeds Jing Zhan brought back, who knows if it's useful." Thousands of years have passed since the era of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and the seeds of that era have not been preserved at this time. ”

It's not that Grandma Meng doesn't believe in Jing Zhan, but the current seeds are all from the research institute, and they can only be planted for one season, and they can't be kept. Grain is grown on nutrient solution, the harvest is extremely high, it doesn't matter if it is good or not, at least it can survive.

"You don't understand, only what nature creates is truly ours."

Grandpa Meng looked at the simple meals on the table, now they only eat grain and meat, and vegetables are rare.

He was old, but he still wanted to try, for the sake of his grandchildren, to grow crops on this barren mountain.
