Chapter 021: [Energy Body Fruit]
Guo Ge has been wandering around the island. Learn about the facilities on the island.
For example, he saw that when Li Xiaolan and Chen Zhong were out, they pried open two small doors in the basement. Inside one door is a small freezer, which is steaming and full of all kinds of pork, beef and mutton and fish fresh food.
In the other door was a material warehouse, all kinds of drinks and food were stacked to the level of the roof, Guo Ge pulled a few times, and even saw some gloves and work clothes and other labor protection supplies.
He had to sigh that the welfare of this institute was so good.
He walked out of the two-storey building in front of him, outside is a football field-sized ecological garden, the convenience of the botanical garden, the flowers and plants planted are quite beautiful, the garden is surrounded by cobblestone exercise paths, on the left there is a badminton court, an open-air exercise equipment field on the basketball court, on the right is a small swimming pool, and an open garden pavilion.
On the railing of the gazebo, he also saw several quilts and bedding spread out to dry.
Walking to the end of the garden, there is the three-story building of the research institute, which corresponds to the two-story building in the opposite living area, which is also a narrow and inward-curved architectural style.
He pushed open the half-hidden door and stepped inside.
Except for the two offices, where the doors were wide open, the rooms on the first floor were mostly closed. There were still large pools of blood on the floor of one of the offices, and desks and chairs were staggered, proving that there had been a fight here when the virus broke out.
The other office surprised Guo Ge.
This is a monitoring room, and it is also the monitoring center of the entire campus.
There are twelve LCD monitors on the entire wall of the mountain on the left, two of which have large monitors showing the entrance to the Botanical Garden, and the second ticket gate.
He looked at the time display at the bottom of the monitor, and it was obvious that it was not a fixed picture, but it was working. Perhaps at that time, after a sudden power outage, the island's program-controlled facilities automatically switched to emergency power.
The other 10 small monitors screen the various areas of the botanical garden and switch automatically in a matter of minutes.
He nodded, with this set of surveillance facilities, the squad of zombies and a small number of human marauders were no threat. It's just that Chen Zhong and Li Xiaolan have to take turns on duty to monitor, which will undoubtedly affect their research work.
He even considered whether to bring Shen Xiaoqin on the second floor of the convenience store to the Botanical Garden Island, so that she could be in charge of monitoring this area.
Standing in front of the surveillance screen, he saw Li Xiaolan and Chen Zhong in the landscape area of the Three Gorges Rising Belt.
At this time, the two of them had just stepped on the ladder to climb the eighth knotted ash tree, and through the picture, Guo Ge clearly saw the pagoda-shaped stamens on the tree, but there was no fruit.
He and Li Chen had different mentalities, especially after meeting Chen Xiongwu in the Botanical Garden, it proved that the energy fruit that opened the "True Pupil" genetic talent did indeed come from the Botanical Garden, and it was only a matter of time before they could be discovered.
The only thing that made him wonder was whether this botanical garden had produced the "Pupil of Truth" as an energy fruit? Could there be other plant energy fruits? Why is there only two "True Pupils" in the entire Beihu area, one is in the Linjiang Botanical Garden, and the other is from Dahong Mountain, the main production area of the joint ash tree.
And the fruits of other attributes are numerous and numerous. In the middle and late stages of the last days, such energy fruits and energy bodies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. But the "Pupil of Truth" fruit never appeared again.
Guo Ge moved a chair and looked at Li Xiaolan and Chen Zhong on the monitor, watching them get down from one tree after another in disappointment and climb up another big tree.
More than an hour passed, and Guo Ge was as disappointed as the two of them.
He shook his head and walked out of the surveillance room, up the stairs to the third-floor terrace.
The roof of the third floor is also greened, like a small garden, and there are several beach chairs and even two hanging basket rocking chairs on it. Presumably for researchers to rest and relax between work.
His eyes fell on a fiberglass antenna on the roof of the building, and he immediately became interested, and he guessed that it should be a radio repeater antenna, a base station for outdoor radio walkie-talkies.
In the last apocalypse, some things that had been eliminated by technology gradually came to the center of the mainstream stage.
For example, radio-talkies. It basically replaced the telephone and mobile phone in the last days. The general walkie-talkie signal range is about 2-10 kilometers. In the last days, when there is no radio interference, no one around uses electricity, no one uses mobile phones, there is no large obstruction between the two sides of the call, and there is no government to carry out radio control, and even unlimited distance can be called.
This kind of repeater antenna he had seen in the last apocalypse.
If there is a walkie-talkie and the island to keep in touch at any time? Isn't it the solution to the big trouble that has been bothering him?
At this moment, he felt a distortion around him, and he saw that the water level of the lake was rapidly falling by half a meter with the naked eye, and the trees and flowers as far as his eye could see seemed to be irradiated by the strong light of the hot summer for forty-eight hours, some withered instantly, some shriveled, and some suddenly became listless, the petals withered, and the crown of the tree lowered its proud head.
What happened? Guo Ge felt a palpitation.
He remembered the two people in the Three Gorges Rising Belt Scenic Area, ran downstairs quickly, rushed into the monitoring room, and saw Chen Zhong excitedly stepping on the ladder on the monitor and climbing a knotted ash tree.
In the center of the tree, like a crown, stands a large stamen.
The filigree of the stamens drooped like wicker, revealing a black fruit in the middle.
Guo Ge was overjoyed, if there was no accident, the fruit of the "True Pupil" that fell into the hands of Chen Xiongwu in the previous life belonged to him.
With the "Pupil of Truth", he can at least reach the height of Chen Xiongwu in the last apocalypse and become a hegemon.
And some people in Beihu have always criticized that Chen Xiongwu has the treasures of the world, but he is content in a corner and has no ambitions. Because after Chen Xiongwu obtained the "Pupil of Truth", in a sense, he is no longer an ordinary person.
Ordinary people can survive in steal, but evolutionaries with peerless talents should have higher pursuits.
Ten minutes later, Guo Ge stood at the entrance of the island and greeted Chen Zhong and Li Xiaolan.
Even if he was a human being in two lives, Guo Ge couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, he took the pea-sized energy fruit, and said without raising his head: "You have passed the postgraduate entrance examination." Arrange a room for me first and don't come and disturb me for 12 hours. We'll talk about that tomorrow. ”
Chen Zhong and Li Xiaolan looked at each other, "I'll take you to the dormitory on the second floor, and you can pick a room by yourself......"
Li Xiaolan stood downstairs in a daze, watching Guo Ge and Chen Zhong go upstairs.
On the second floor of the living area, there is the staff apartment of the institute, to be precise, it is a hotel-style apartment.
Guo Ge casually pushed open a door and went in to take a look, "This is it." ”
Then, ignoring Chen Zhong's surprised eyes, he quickly closed the door.
Holding the energy body fruit, sit on the bed.
This energy body fruit was smaller than the picture of the fruit he had seen in the last days, and its whole body was black, but there were still extremely fine particles on the black surface, and these particles shimmered with light that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
This is still a newborn energy fruit, not yet fully ripe, not even a first-level energy body. He sighed, if it was possible, if time permitted, if he didn't worry about long nights and dreams, he would definitely wait for this energy fruit to grow to the first level before picking it.
But in this way, he runs the risk of losing the energy fruit.
In this apocalypse, after any energy fruit is ripe, it will first attract all kinds of jungle species that smell the "fragrance", just like the description in martial arts novels, wherever there are natural and earthly treasures, they are guarded by fierce beasts. Even plants that bear energy fruits will activate their talents on their own under certain conditions, becoming powerful mutant plants......
He couldn't care so much, the day when he was scheduled to go to prison and Wu Han was getting closer and closer, and he opened his mouth to swallow the black energy fruit.
