Chapter 0015 - The Fruit That Is About to Ripen
One wait is three days.
In the past three days, rhubarb has to eat a ginkgo flower every day, although the expected "strengthening effect" has not produced, but at least rhubarb's resistance to ginkgo biloba is getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer easy to live or die.
On the fourth day, the ginkgo biloba begins to slowly wither, replaced by green fruits the size of beans. The ginkgo tree made of snow turned green in a blink of an eye, and at the same time, a faint aroma emanated from the cyan fruit, which could not only be smelled by Xu Huai, Han Lele, and Zhou Zhuang, but also by other survivors.
"Is the fruit ripe?"
"I don't know, but the fruit is still growing, and it shouldn't be ripe yet."
"This is not the same as the fruit of ginkgo."
"The flowers are different, the fruits are definitely different." Everyone is looking forward to the fruit of the ginkgo tree, what effect it will have when it is ripe, and whether it can resist the radiation of the poisonous area.
Han Lele and Zhou Zhuang still can't eat it, but rhubarb can eat green fruits in advance.
I don't know if it's because its resistance is getting stronger and stronger, or because the "toxicity" of the fruit is weakening, after eating the green fruit, the side effects are getting smaller and smaller, so that it gradually stops having diarrhea. It's just that after eating, I will be depressed for a while, and then I will be very excited.
Its hair grows back, not very long, just a faint layer of fluff.
Reverting to the status quo was shouldn't be a problem.
"Pick me some fruit, and I'll absorb it and try to feel it." Xu Huai endured it for a few days, but he couldn't help it, and wanted to feel the effect of the fruit in advance.
He had now mastered the art of articulating electrical signals, and spoke almost indistinguishably from a normal person, except for some coldness similar to electronic synthesize. At the same time, there is also a full improvement in the exercise of mental power, and there is no need to use anger to regulate emotions, cause thinking fluctuations, and strengthen mental power.
It only takes a little charge to increase the strength of his mental power, and according to the test, the upper limit of his current mental power is about the same as that of a ten-year-old child.
It's a bit difficult to carry a bucket of water, but it's easy to control the wrench and turn a few screws.
So much so that he can repair Wuling Hongguang S by himself, take a good look at the image of the van, and carefully take care of the welded shell of the survivors, which no longer looks so ugly - even if it is a car, it is also necessary to pay attention to face, and now Wuling Hongguang S represents his image.
As a special existence, he still has a lot of face among the survivors of Tree Island.
As soon as the words were spoken, a survivor climbed up the ginkgo tree dozens of meters high, plucked a branch, which was full of green fruits, and handed it to him.
Xu Huai thanked him.
Immediately began to absorb the cyan fruit, and like the ginkgo biloba, it can be easily absorbed as long as the cyan fruit is fused with an outer core vehicle. The cyan fruit that grew to the size of a fingernail was easily absorbed by Xu Huai without the slightest hindrance, and a special energy was absorbed by his soul.
"It's so comfortable!"
"Although the soul is formless and substantial, at this moment, I feel that my soul is wrapped in warm water, and my pores are open, enjoying the pleasure of this immersion...... Well, there seems to be a trace of warm water, which is penetrating into the soul, no, this is the soul absorbing special energy. ”
Xu Huai was overjoyed in his heart, the previous ginkgo biloba also had special energy, but it could only cause mental excitement, and there was no such feeling of supplementing and strengthening the soul.
"It turns out that it has to bear fruit to have an effect!"
Just when he was happy in his heart, the warm water suddenly subsided completely, and even the part that penetrated into the soul slowly dissipated into nothingness. The soul was empty for a while, and suddenly empty, as if after leaving his legs, but no one patronized it, empty, lonely, and cold, and the thief was uncomfortable.
"What's going on? Is it because one fruit doesn't have enough energy? Then I'll try a few more. ”
Just do it, Xu Huai directly absorbed the three cyan fruits, but it was also a kick in the door, and the success fell short, and it felt like the tide receded.
Three pieces were not enough, so it was increased, and he began to absorb ten at a time.
I thought that ten pieces should be able to provide enough special energy, but there was still a problem here at the door, and it came and went quickly, and there was nothing to be fished out of the emptiness.
After three failures in a row, Xu Huai became serious in his heart, he was not stupid, and realized that the problem should have nothing to do with the dose, but with the cyan fruit itself: "It's not that the energy is not enough, but the energy seems to be ...... Unformed, it cannot be absorbed by the soul...... Is this because the green fruit is not yet ripe? ”
There is only one more plausible explanation.
Xu Huai decided to wait patiently.
As a van, life is not stressful for the time being, and he is not in a hurry. Even if he is in a hurry, it is useless, he can't leave Tree Island, and he can't find any clue at all - he has been out several times in the past few days, and even as far as the South Second Ring Road, but he has not driven out of the poison area, as if the poison area is infinite.
Even the entire planet could be enveloped in a poisonous zone.
The north side is a strong poison area, so you can't go there, and although the south side is not very strong, there is no end. The west side is barren and uninhabited, and the east side is the city center, but there are more and more zombies, and he does not dare to go deeper. Human zombies are not scary, but animals such as zombie dogs and zombie cats can directly pounce into the car to wreak havoc.
"I should have found time to install the glass, but I think I could just weld the steel plate? The steel plate can't block my vision at all, well, just do it when you have the chance. ”
He's also seen small zombies like zombie rats.
It looks no different from a mouse on the outside, but the mouse that dares to form a team to chase Wuling Hongguang S must be a zombie mouse that didn't run.
Although the survivor did not encounter it again, he dared to guarantee that there must be one in the city, because he could see several tree island green circles, but they were far away.
These tree islands are likely to have survivors to survive.
After waiting for the fruit to ripen, Xu Huai decided to eat it and leave, he couldn't wait here all the time to wait and die. The government's rescue has been delayed, and he has to find a way to save himself.
……
A day later.
The green fruit has grown from the size of a fingernail to the size of a grape, and the aroma is getting stronger and stronger. Han Lele and Zhou Zhuang, their eyes were almost red, staring at the fruit and begging Li Chenggang and the others to eat the fruit.
Rhubarb used to stay away from ginkgo biloba and green fruits, and didn't eat them at all without food, but now he drooled when he looked at the green fruits.
Only the adult survivors, who smell the smell, do not have much desire to eat.
"Xu Huai, how do you feel, can you eat it?" Li Chenggang frowned and asked, here Xu Huai can judge whether the green fruit is ripe or not.
After Xu Huai absorbed a cyan fruit, he shook his head: "It's not ripe yet, I can't absorb the special energy in it, and it's a waste to eat it." ”
"It's been a week, and the fruit is still not ripe, so I'm so anxious!" Wang Zhao sighed.
"It should be soon, it's still a little bit close."
At this time, the survivors who were standing guard suddenly shouted: "There are zombies approaching Tree Island, it seems that they are coming directly to us, Brother Li, send someone over to send it away." ”
The zombies around Tree Island were basically sent away by the survivors, and this sending away was not to persuade them to quit, nor to learn the headshots in zombie movies, but to push the zombies into the sewers in the middle of the road. Speaking of which, zombies should be eliminated with headshots, but survivors like Li Chenggang only choose headshots when they are in danger.
Outside is the West Second Ring Road, the sewers are very deep, and they can hold a lot of zombies.
I have to say that this method is a woman's benevolence, but no one has the courage to kill zombies like hemp - everyone can't guarantee that zombies will not be re-humanized one day.
After all, these zombies are not the rotten zombies in the movie, and their appearance is almost the same as that of ordinary humans. Moreover, even if it is a zombie in the movie, isn't there also the possibility that the zombies in "Warm Corpse" will become human again.
Push into the sewer, you can not only not kill, but also control the zombies.
As for zombie dogs, zombie cats, and the like, they all saw one kill the other.
"I always feel that this method is not wise, and the zombies should be completely wiped out." Xu Huai thought in his heart that he didn't plan to say it, it would make others feel that he was too cruel.
And.
He's already a van, and the human zombies ...... to themselves It doesn't seem to be too harmful.
