Lu Feng came back with a heavy expression.

Everyone originally guessed that there might be a problem with the sample sent over, but looking at his face at this moment, he couldn't help but sink his heart secretly, and his words were much quieter.

"Captain, is there something wrong with that spider plant?"

Zhou Shuangshuang asked.

"It's not."

Lu Feng reluctantly smiled at her and reassured, "Don't worry, it's nothing." Moreover, I don't know anything about Zhou Shiwen myself, and they can't easily disturb you, I'm just ......"

Under Zhou Shuangshuang's silent gaze, his voice couldn't help but choke up, and then, with his big hand on the top of his head, he pulled his short hair hard.

His always strong expression was a little unsustainable at the moment, so he wiped his face fiercely.

“…… I'm just a little uncomfortable. ”

Not everyone can maintain their original mentality after facing the wailing and crying of an old man who is dying.

- But what to do.

He couldn't help it.

Lu Feng gritted his teeth, he had already made a decision. Zhou Shiwen can be regarded as asking for them. Because of this, the spider plant came so easily, and he almost forgot that now, no matter what he wants, he needs to pay a price.

Zhou Shiwen, as a person from a secret research base of unknown origin, took various risks every day to find what Zhou Shuangshuang wanted. Or rather, it was something they asked for through Zhou Shuangshuang's mouth. Things came too easily, and they never thought about what Zhou Shiwen had paid......

Now......

Lu Feng looked at Zhou Shuangshuang, the masseter muscles were tight, and the gums were about to bleed.

But after a difficult struggle, he made a decision.

- He is so selfish, such a person who can easily disregard the future of mankind!

Knowing that everyone's rights are the same, why sacrifice the other side of the scale to protect the interests of more people! Even if it's a possibility......

That must not be what he meant.

So......

I remembered how I watched those researchers who had dedicated their lives crying helplessly in front of him.

Lu Feng tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled at Zhou Shuangshuang again.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Zhou Shuangshuang frowned.

It doesn't look like it's okay to look like this......

But...... She bit her lip, Kaiyuan Tongbao couldn't bring anything for the time being. And, even if she could, she probably wouldn't be able to bring the dirt seeds and plants they wanted so quickly...... After all, I'm just too inconspicuous.

Lu Feng had already gone out, and every grain of dust in the yellow sand was like dense silk, wrapping him in breathlessness.

No matter how you choose, every step of the way is likely to be a dead end.

……………………………………………………

It's night, tonight, Chen Shaoze is on duty.

People's hearts are complicated, and the fact that they have received such a large amount of food is tantamount to a large treasure for those who are struggling to make ends meet.

Therefore, even in the imperial capital with strict security, it still cannot be relaxed.

Zhou Shuangshuang touched the cold copper coin on her chest, remembering Lu Feng's painful appearance during the day, she couldn't help pursing her lips, and fell asleep again in sorrow.

Half-asleep and half-awake, someone in the room whispered.

"Captain, over there at the institute...... Did something go wrong? ”

Lu Feng smiled bitterly: "What? Am I manifesting myself? ”

Chen Shaoze also chuckled: "In terms of force, I am not as good as you." But my mind, I don't think you're as good as me. What's more, you're not good at these ...... in the first place."

Lu Feng groaned for a while, sighed, and answered Chen Shaoze's initial question.

"It's nothing, it's just that the bottle of spider plant sent that day is divided into five samples, and all of them are dead except for the one left in the original mineral water bottle."

"All?"

Chen Shaoze frowned.

"Yes, the area divided into the institute, I went to see it today, four different areas. One is a barren sandy land that is no different from the outside world, the other is the dusty soil that they have carefully purified and refined, and the other is hydroponics.

Finally, there is the cultivation of potions. ”

"But ......"

He shook his head: "All dead." Like the plants that died a year ago, it was as if all their vitality had been drained overnight, and they became dry branches and leaves in an instant. ”

After being silent for a while, Chen Shaoze fiddled with the bonfire in the room and said lightly: "I thought that with the plant samples, with the abilities of those top brains in the institute, we would be able to find our future direction sooner or later." ”

His tone was indifferent, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but Zhou Shuangshuang secretly looked at Lu Feng and Chen Shaoze, and when he was half-asleep and half-awake, he couldn't help but feel a touch of sadness in his heart!

"yes."

Lu Feng smiled bitterly.

"Do you know Chen Xiangdong, the father of rice and wheat? He is 90 years old this year, and he still has to work hard for these problems, and today he cried in front of me. ”

"At that moment, I really hated the world."

"We've been through so much turmoil, and everyone has been in pain with their relatives and wiped out the zombies that are rampant. Half a year ago, I thought that as long as we eliminated the zombies, we would be able to return to our previous lives, but it turned out to be ...... The greatest catastrophe is only now coming. ”

"They cried in the institute, and I came back as shameful as a deserter."

His voice was low, as if a little louder would keep them awake.

"If I could, I would love to turn my flesh into nourishment. But what to do? We don't understand anything......"

Chen Shaoze opened his mouth, but in the end he could only open his mouth to comfort Lu Feng.

"Don't worry, ask Frost tomorrow."

Lu Feng shook his head: "How powerful are the people in the research institute, until now, even the plants have not been successfully cultivated. Then you see, how much effort did Zhou Shiwen spend cultivating this spider plant? ”

The green plant is not the pre-apocalyptic cabbage, you can have it if you want it.

"Moreover, he didn't know what it took to cultivate such a spider plant, but overnight, he didn't even survive the branch......

"How am I going to open my mouth to him?"

And people who have nothing and are on the verge of madness, once they know the news of the food shortage, their faith collapses, I can't imagine what they will do. ”

…………

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps.

Zhou Shuangshuang got up at some point and sat next to the two.

"Captain, if there is any problem, let's say it, let's figure it out together, why bother to be so tactful...... Am I not trustworthy? ”

Her mood was calm, but Lu Feng obviously couldn't.

Half-paid, he hung his head: "I'm sorry! ”

They have been fighting in the last days for a year, whether their teammates are awake or not, whether there is any movement, as the most capable captain, Lu Feng is naturally clear.

And such a thing, if she really wanted to hide Zhou Shuangshuang, she wouldn't get any news at all.

- Unless, on purpose, to tell her.

At this moment, the flames reflected Zhou Shuangshuang's face. Her expression was calm and determined.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Zhou Shuangshuang buried her head, her voice was buzzing, and she couldn't really hear it.

"Zhou Shiwen, I can't get what you want."

Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Lu Feng with an indescribable gaze.

Lu Feng was pressed by various emotions, and he didn't think too much about it at the moment, just nodded understandingly, and his rough palm touched the top of her head.

"I know, Frosty, we're working on it. I was just...... I just can't help but pin my hopes on you. ”

"I'm sorry!"
