Chapter 209: Strange Rats

Seeing Zhang Le wake up, Queen Cindir retracted her tongue as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Le glanced at Cindir resentfully and smacked his lips. Although it felt good, he still had a little doubt. There should be many ways to save people, why do some creatures like to poke around in other people's mouths, is this the habit of the interstellar race? Speaking of which, Sandy is not a native species either.

"How's the seed?" Zhang Le asked.

"Of course. With the World Tree providing energy transformation, it can survive as long as there is water and soil. Cindir affirmed.

Zhang Le looked down at the World Tree tattoo and asked worriedly, "Will this have an impact on the growth of the World Tree?" "Because he felt that the World Tree was a little bit sluggish.

"There must be, it may reduce the life span by decades, and it is better not to use it too often, otherwise the impact will be greater. But it doesn't matter, the lifespan of the World Tree is hundreds of millions of years. Queen Cindir said.

Zhang Le felt a little guilty.

Soon, though, surprise replaced guilt. In a wasteland on the outskirts of Huanggang City, the performance of new seeds completely subverts Zhang Le's perception of plants.

As soon as the seed touches the ground, it is like a living thing, sticking out countless tiny roots to the ground. The permafrost and snow do not stop the plants from surviving, and their tiny roots are extremely tough, like blood-sucking leeches attached to their skin, burrowing into the earth with great force, hungry and thirsty to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the seeds grow rapidly.

Half an hour later, a small plant stood proudly in the snow and ice. After the initial germination, the seeds did not continue to grow wildly, otherwise Zhang Le would really have to consider whether to keep the plant.

Accelerated by Zhang Le's white light energy, fifteen minutes later, the two seeds ushered in their first harvest. An hour later, Zhang Le had harvested a total of three bags of seeds. The newly harvested crop is three times larger and the plants are thicker, but only about 30 percent more product.

After more than a dozen growth tests, Zhang Le estimated the normal growth period of the two crops. Wheat in about twenty days. Chestnut in about thirty days. The price of rapid growth is the demand for nutrients from the land. But now it's the end of the world, wasteland is everywhere, and the fallow period is longer. The new chestnut is a perennial shrub that cannot be transplanted often, so in order to ensure the yield, it is necessary to fertilize more.

Human gathering area of Huanggang City.

Xie Fang accepted the new seeds provided by Zhang Le. After listening to Zhang Le's introduction, although she was willing to believe it, she couldn't believe it. In its eyes, the most important thing is to encircle and suppress mutant rats.

She obeyed Zhang Le's instructions and tried to plant a handful of seeds in the backyard of her residence. She didn't even have time to verify whether the seeds would germinate immediately, so she couldn't wait to take Zhang Le and his party to the gymnasium.

Every time Zhang Le and others come to the ground, if they are easy, they will remove some mutant creatures, and the mutant rats are definitely in the top few in the removal list.

Within the city limits, mutant rats, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches and multi-legged reptiles are the most, and among several creatures, mutant rats are the most hateful, because their diets are basically the same as humans, so they form a competitive relationship with humans, and what is even more terrifying is that if there is a shortage of food, the recipes of mutant rats also include humans. For small and medium-sized congregations, mutant rats are a nightmare for many humans.

This time, in order to encircle and suppress the rat group, Zhang Le brought almost all the combat power he could bring. Shen Wei, Sandy, six lizards, and two male ice worms. That's right, this is Zhang Le's main team. Modern civilization and human film and television dramas have cultivated a large number of female intelligent creatures who cannot lift four taels in their hands, and on this spaceship, this situation has become especially serious.

Gianna is a human being, and Snow and Fei'er, the two former barbarian zergs, have also learned to be pretentious. Queen Cindir and the princess did the same, and the new Ice Worm Five began to divide into two factions. Sandy kind of regretted that she had become intersex in the first place.

The arrival of the two ice worms, Chubby and Zhuangzhuang, was a big surprise for Zhang Le, and their extreme cold attack was a huge nightmare for any living being.

There are eight entrances and exits to the gymnasium, and it takes eight people to guard the doors alone. The speed of the ice worm is not fast, and the range of cold fog is limited, so it is not satisfactory to attack the enemy, but it is still easy to defend the two entrances and exits.

Zhang Le, Sandy, two ice worms, and four lizards guard the gate, leaving two lizards to go in and kill mice. At present, the status of lizards is the lowest on the ship, and the matter of killing rats is left to them.

After Zhang Le made a plan, he asked Ms. Xie and a few human guides to leave the area.

The wind and snow were still very strong, and as long as the distance exceeded 20 meters, they could not see each other clearly. With heavy snowfall, the enhanced vision effect is extremely limited.

Everyone split up and surrounded the stadium from all sides. Shen Wei and Ice Worm were each chubby with a lizard. Relatively speaking, their strength is the weakest.

The friends left one after another, and a minute later, the sound of falling snow drowned out everyone's footsteps. In the entire heaven and earth, it seems that only Zhang Le exists.

Three minutes later, Zhang Le came to the vicinity of the main entrance of the gymnasium. He hid behind a cedar tree and looked towards the gymnasium door.

He was in charge of the main entrance of the gymnasium, which was the widest and the most difficult to defend. At this time, the main entrance is open, with a width of about ten meters and a height of more than three meters. A few meters from the door was a thick layer of snow, and unexpectedly, Zhang Le did not see the footprints of rats on the snow.

"This doesn't make sense!" The first thought that popped into his mind was this.

There are no footprints of rats visible at the door of the rat colony, are you sure that there are really rats inside?

Zhang Le really wanted to use the virtual roots to go in and explore, but at this time, the agreed closing time had not yet arrived, and he didn't want to startle the snake. In a small area, Zhang Lecai can precisely control the transformation of the roots from the virtual to the real, which is a bit rough at a distance.

After another five minutes or so, a sharp lizard cry sounded, the agreed attack cry.

Zhang Le rushed to the gate of the gymnasium with an arrow step, passed through the passage more than ten meters long, lifted the thick temperature barrier curtain, and entered the internal space. His face changed suddenly.

Ms. Xie was right, there was a huge rat gathering point here.

Rats, rats everywhere, upstairs and downstairs, on the floor, on the audience seats. But that's not the point, the point is that there's a rare order that is present throughout the gymnasium.

Whether it is the rats in the audience seat, or the rat team on the playing field, as well as a few white-haired rats on the rostrum, they are actually chirping and shouting, which is completely the rhythm of the leader's speech.
