On the 10th, I was hungry and ate the fragrant black tree seeds, and today on the 15th, for the past five days, Fu Hongyang did not notice that his body had abnormal feelings.

On the contrary, in addition to the green fibers, he felt very good, and even his strength became much greater. I used to be able to pant with a bucket of water, but now I can easily carry water with a rope while standing on a tree branch. Coupled with the speed of wound healing brought by green fibers, the body has never experienced better.

"So, after I eat the black tree seeds, is it a mutation? Is there any harm to this mutation? "It's hard to say whether it's good or bad.

He looked at the mutant queen again.

The queen ant lies on the plank, lazily eating the fragments of the imp umbrella fed by the worker ants - it is doubtful whether it is technically the queen ant.

I didn't see it lay ant eggs directly, and those big black ants were all grown through hyphae.

Fu Hongyang touched the beard poked on his chin: "Ants and fungi, me and black tree seeds, are there any similarities between this?" "The electric shaver had run out of electricity two days ago, and there was no hand razor at home, so it was a problem for him to even shave.

He was going to cut it off one by one with nail clippers when his beard grew longer - as for the hair, he would just cut it with a knife when it had grown.

I observed for a long time and thought about it a lot.

In the end, I didn't figure out why.

He picked a little ghost umbrella with his hand, bit off a little and put it in his mouth to taste the taste, it was faint, soft, and not very delicious, and the taste was much worse than the fruit of the tree. So I didn't finish eating one, and the remaining half was thrown directly to Doudou who was lying on the side, and Doudou's neck twisted, and he caught the little ghost umbrella.

Let's chirp, chirp.

Lying on the ground again, it is not hungry at all.

"Show me this group of big black ants, and then you yourself are not allowed to destroy the imp umbrella, and I will pick the fruit of the tree for you to eat when I get back, understand." He grabbed one of Doudou's dog legs and confessed cautiously.

Doudou stuck out his tongue, not knowing if he understood.

Fu Hongyang took a woodcutter and re-planted the tree, he did not plan to build a new tree house today, but planned to tidy up the dense canopy of the black tree and the tree. In the past two days, the canopy of the tree has pulled out a lot of tiny branches, densely overlapping everything, Rao is not a professional fruit farmer, and he knows that this is not good.

The trees had to be pruned in order to grow better and bear more fruit – the two trees would be his source of food and would have to be taken care of carefully.

"Roar!"

In the haze in the distance, the roars of zombies can still be heard from time to time, proving that they have not disappeared, but they are not approaching the black tree and the tree.

It was also this zombie roar that made Fu Hongyang never dare to go deep into the fog area to search for supplies.

The long-awaited rescue has not yet appeared, and now he is very suspicious that there are no living people like him in his small village.

It's about the government rescue force, which is still rescuing the city; Or maybe the smog is so poisonous that the rescue forces have been unable to find a way to deal with it. In any case, before the mountains were exhausted, he decided to stay here, with fruit in the trees and water in the well, which was an ideal refuge.

When the fruit is eaten one day, the haze still hasn't cleared, and he is really desperate, he will leave here.

I still remember watching a movie "The Mist" earlier, about the town shrouded in thick fog and monsters haunting in the fog. The male protagonist and everyone hid in the supermarket, seeing that there were more and more dead people, and the supermarket was almost unable to hold it, so he decided to break through. Most people are reluctant to follow him to break through, pinning their hopes on someone coming to the supermarket to save them.

Only the wise and martial male protagonist, with a few people and his son, fled in a car.

The car broke down without fuel on the way, looking at the thick fog, the male protagonist was discouraged, shot his son, and was ready to commit suicide by drinking bullets.

Right now.

A team of soldiers came out of the fog, they were the government's rescue troops, who cleared the fog and saved the male protagonist and everyone in the supermarket.

Then, the male protagonist cried.

"I don't want to be in such a ridiculous situation." While cutting off the branches that were too dense, Fu Hongyang was thinking about something that he didn't have.

After cutting for a while, he saw the branches that had been plucked before, and pulled out new flower spikes.

He was pleasantly surprised by this discovery: "The black tree no longer bears fruit once a season, I have plucked this branch before, so now it is blooming again and ready to bear fruit." In other words, the fruit of these two trees will continue to grow? "If that's the case, there's no need to worry about the food.

Now it is only necessary to consider whether the nutrition is balanced by eating fruits alone, of course, this is already a quality of life issue, and it has nothing to do with the existential crisis.

……

All day, Fu Hongyang was sorting out the branches.

Barely half of the canopy of the tree was sorted out, and all the surplus branches were cut off, and then they were still in the yard. Some of these branches still had black tree seeds hanging from them, which he carefully plucked and placed in the "storeroom" on the edge of the treehouse.

"It took four days to tidy up all the two trees, and the black tree seeds could be stored temporarily, and the thing could be dried and stored like beans. The fruit must be eaten first, and if you feel that the first batch of fruit is ripe, if you don't eat it, it will rot on the tree. ”

In the evening, he climbed up the tree to inspect it, and found that many of the fruits of the tree were so red that they would rot if he touched them casually.

If you don't eat it, it will really rot on the tree.

So in the evening, he and Doudou enjoyed a sweet feast of fruit from the tree. With the delicious fruit of the tree, it is no longer rare for Doudou to eat the little ghost umbrella.

Eat until your stomach is bloated.

Fu Hongyang saw that there were still a large number of tree fruits that he hadn't eaten, so he simply threw a few of them on the wooden board.

Soon, a big black ant came to explore the fruit of the tree, and then made a big move, chopping the fruit of the tree in an instant, with little by little fragments, lined up to feed the mutant ant queen who was high in the center of the plank. The queen didn't run all afternoon, and seemed to have recognized the board as a new home.

"It's good if you don't run, although the planks here can't give you a little ghost umbrella, but the branches I cut down can be used as fertilizer for you."

The branches are piled up in the yard, which is useless, so they are simply used to raise ants.

He really regarded these big black ants as his pets.

When it was almost dark, the wall of the courtyard collapsed with a bang, and the sound of collapse spread far away, Fu Hongyang hurriedly sent Doudou to the tiled house to take refuge.

"Don't scream, Doudou, no matter what movement is outside, don't scream!"

Then he rushed up to the black tree with one lunge, and crawled down the trunk of the tree to the tree house, showing a head, and observing the surroundings.

"Shhh

"Roar!"

Sure enough, there were zombies rushing over following the sound,

However, because the sound of the wall collapsing was not loud, only three zombies rushed in, and the zombies scanned around with reddish eyes, but could not find the living creatures that made the sound. Doudou in the tiled house seemed to understand Fu Hongyang's previous explanation, and he didn't make a call, so the zombie wandered around and then fell into the haze again.

"The faces of these three zombies can't see human expressions clearly......" Fu Hongyang sighed slightly in his heart, and the changes in the zombies became more and more obvious.

The body shape is visibly emaciated.

His face was as pale as a dead man, his eye sockets were deep, the whites of his eyes were red, the bridge of his nose was wrinkled, his teeth seemed to be sharper than normal, and his nails were much longer and longer.

The bare skin on the back of the hand is still a little black in the paleness, I don't know if it's a stain or a sign of mutation.

Their clothes are mottled with dark brown and look like stains of blood clotting: "I must have eaten people, otherwise there would be no blood on my clothes...... The only good thing is that they don't continue to mutate, but instead lose weight, and the strong zombie is just a special case. ”

Zombies have lost weight, indicating that their activities continue to consume nutrients.

As long as it is not replenished for a long time, sooner or later it will "die" again.
