Chapter XVIII: Lifting of Monitoring

With the "enthusiastic" help of Steward Chen, in less than half an hour, the seven of them had a new place to live.

After determining the residence, a group of seven people began to go shopping seriously, and they spent most of the day shopping, and even found a small shop on the street for lunch.

It wasn't until the sun hung in the sky, and the time turned to four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, that the seven who were a little tired from shopping began to return.

This time of wandering, the general structure and route of Luoxia City have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone.

After returning to their lodgings, they chatted a few words, and each returned to his room.

Zhang Shen sat down to rest for more than ten minutes, his expression changed for a while, pushed open the door, and walked towards Li Jing's room.

Knock knock! Zhang Shen knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"I-"

"Asleep!"

Zhang Shen: ............

"Ahem, that, I'm looking for you for something." Zhang Shen scratched his head, feeling that this was really more of a headache than going out to adventure.

The door opened a slit, revealing an eye. "If there's anything, hurry up and leave as soon as you're done."

"This is a very important thing, so ......" Zhang Shen clenched his right hand and put it in front of his mouth, trying to make himself look serious.

Before he could make up a reason, the door opened enough for a person to enter. "Come in."

The two sat down face to face, looking at Li Jing's expressionless face, and Zhang Shen said that Yali Mountain was big.

"What's the matter, why don't you say it?"

"Not yet ...... Oh, no, what's that...... Ahem, people are old, they have a bad memory, and they suddenly forget about it. Zhang Shen was entangled for a while, and simply shrugged his shoulders, "So, can you let me rest here for a while first, and then I can talk about it when I think about it." ”

Burst~~

Li Jing laughed out loud, covering his mouth with his hands, his cheeks reddening.

"Scoundrel!" She scolded softly, glared at Zhang Shen fiercely, her eyes flowed, and her rare charming attitude made Zhang Shen stunned.

"Success, oh yes!" Putting the changes in Li Jing's expression and eyes into his eyes, Zhang Shen exclaimed wildly in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly relaxed, and in the midst of small talk, the relationship between the two returned to normal.

"Well, I still have to apologize to you for the previous incident." didn't want the source of the entanglement between the two, Zhang Shen took the initiative to mention the previous matter.

"Alright, no need to say it." Li Jing glanced at him, "Sister Lichen has already told me, it was just an accident." ”

Seeing that Li Jing didn't want to mention it again, although he was very curious about Bu Lichen's explanation, Zhang Shen stopped asking for trouble and changed the topic.

"By the way, I haven't seen your natal plant yet!" Xie Dingguo's four people and Bu Lichen's natal plants, Zhang Shen has heard about them or seen them with his own eyes, and only Li Jing's plants are left, so he is a little curious.

Li Jing's expression suddenly became a little complicated.

Excited, sad, helpless, dazed......

"What's wrong?!" Sensing her sadness and confusion, Zhang Shen felt a pain in his heart and grabbed her hand, "Is it that the plants you chose are not satisfactory?" Don't be sad about this little thing, I'll protect you no matter what! ”

"It's not like that...... I don't know what to say, see for yourself. ”

With a burst of crystal white light, a plant came into Zhang Shen's eyes.

Its main body looks like a garlic ball, with five crystal clear petals, tightly enclosed in a circle, and there is no coating. Above, a stem and leaf of about 20 centimeters emerges from the gap where the sub-petals gather and sways gently. Two-thirds are white, then abruptly fork and give birth to two green leaves.

This is...... A combination of green onion and garlic??

If the plant were separated, it would be a stunted green onion and a garlic ball that had been peeled off.

But now, it's combined......

However, it's very beautiful and cute......

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Zhang Shen threw out a detection technique.

【Allium Onion (Juvenile): This is a very magical plant, which becomes more peculiar after absorbing the mysterious power, and has great potential. It possesses three stages of growth and is currently a juvenile. The ability of the young body to connect the heart onion is "taste deception", which can deceive the opponent's sense of taste, so that the opponent has the illusion of "spicy", "numb", "sour", "bitter" and "sweet".

Ya, it's really a green onion!

"This ability is really good and powerful......" The corners of Zhang Shen's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.

Honestly, this ability is really powerful. Zhang Shen likes to eat spicy things, and deeply understands that as long as any of the above five flavors reaches a certain level, it can make people want to die.

Think about it, you are fighting with someone else, and suddenly, a terrible spicy smell appears, your tears, snot, and saliva suddenly gush out, and your stomach hurts as if it were burning, and your throat is smoking, and it almost erupts into fire......

Strong-willed people have an extraordinary resistance to pain, but can they pre-train themselves to resist extreme taste?

But—

This world is the end of the world! The greatest enemy of all is not humans, but zombies!

Zhang Shen didn't think that zombies would have a sense of taste......

After sighing and tangling for a while, Zhang Shen suddenly reacted: It's not right!

Even if this plant is quite cheating, Li Jing will not be "sad" and "confused"!

"What the hell is going on!" Zhang Shen pinned Li Jing's face and looked at him. "As I said, no matter what happens, I'll be there for you! Don't you want to trust me? ”

"No, of course I believe you! From the moment you chose to venture with me, I gave you all your trust! It's just that...... When the time comes, I'll definitely say it, don't push me, okay? Li Jing's eyes flushed red, and the water flashed.

"Of course, I'll keep waiting until the day you're willing to tell me." After a moment of silence, Zhang Shen seriously said his determination word by word.

"Hmm." Li Jing wiped the corners of his eyes and collected his emotions.

"You look very tired, get some rest, I'll go first." Zhang Shen brushed back the few strands of hair that fell down her cheeks, and said goodbye to leave.

The door closed again, Li Jing held the green onion in the palm of his hand, and whispered: "Grow up quickly, I miss you so much, I really want to see you again!" You promised to take care of me for the rest of your life, have you forgotten such a vow? ”

……… Divide......... Cut......... Line...............

For the next eight days, Zhang Shen and the seven stayed in the city.

During the day, wander around Luoxia City or attend a small exchange meeting hosted by a planter.

In the evening, practice your skills, but only in moderation, to keep your consciousness awake at all times.

Even, in order to reduce the amount of attention, Zhang Shen and the three of them almost stopped practicing basic knife techniques, so as not to cause trouble to themselves.

Finally, the ninth day was also the twenty-second day for Zhang Shen and the others to enter this world.

"Surveillance, weakened a lot!" Luo Fei's words made the six of them extremely happy.

Seeing that time is passing day by day, my mission has not been completed!

Tilapia's natal plant is Cattail Grass, a plant that is very sensitive to surrounding movements and is capable of firing powerful hallucinogenic poisonous needles. It had many leaves, all of which lay on its stomach on the ground, and a fluffy transmitter kept swaying, and from a distance, it looked like a lying kitten, wagging its tail constantly.

Zhang Shen has personally witnessed the ability of cattail grass, so he naturally does not doubt it.

Afterwards, Zhang Shen and others expressed varying degrees of envy and jealousy for the ability shown by cattail grass.

Even Qin Zhengxian, who had [Wind Clover], and Bi Luhai, who had [Ice Lettuce], all showed envious expressions, not to mention Xie Dingguo, who won [Boxing Cabbage]. Of course, it is human nature to have Long Wangshu, although they are more satisfied with their plants, Zhang Shen and the three of them are also quite excited.

"Are you going to go out and do the mission now?" Zhang Shen asked.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, they are just talking about some everyday topics.

"No, there's still some time anyway, wait a few days." Xie Dingguo said that they were worried that the weakening of the surveillance this time was to paralyze themselves, so they would wait a few days to see.

"What, you've decided?" Looking at Zhang Shen's expression, Bi Luhai was puzzled, "You ran out as soon as the surveillance weakened, don't you worry about them becoming suspicious?" ”

"Did you get any news from them?" A gleam flashed in Qin Zhengxian's eyes.

This "they" refers to newcomers from other bases who have also become plant controllers. Zhang Shen and their nine days have not been in vain, and they naturally got acquainted with some "like-minded", but the relationship is general, and there is no deep friendship.

Zhang Shen shook his head: "Don't think about it, it's just that I'm more anxious." ”

Xie Dingguo and the others laughed a few times and said no more.

Obviously, they didn't believe Zhang Shen's explanation at all.

In fact, although the seven of them have been together since entering Luoxia City, except for Zhang Shen's three-person group, the relationship between everyone is like that, there is a certain amount of trust and friendship, but if it involves fundamental interests or even life and death, then, hehe.

If you really want to describe it, it is probably the so-called "wine and meat friend".

This time, though, they're probably going to be disappointed.

What Zhang Sen said was indeed the truth.

Many times, his temperament is a little anxious, and he would rather be tired and troublesome, but also get things done in advance, so as not to be in a desperate hurry after getting the worst, making himself in a hurry and dizzy. After all, Zhang Shen felt that he was not the kind of person who was quick and wise, and preferred to leave a little way out for himself.

Regarding the attitude shown by the four people, Zhang Shen knew it in his heart and didn't bother to explain.

Only this level of relationship, the more you explain, the more suspicious the other party will become, and eventually even tear your face.

For Zhang Shen, as long as Bu Lichen and Li Jing are willing, it will be fine.

These days, Zhang Shen has been thinking about one thing.

There is such a thing as "task", before his own group of people, even if it is a trial for newcomers, there is no such thing as a test nine times out of ten.

Why do you have a task for others?

In fact, it wasn't really a task, but —

Part of "Newcomer Bootstrapping"!

And the "newcomer guidance" is the so-called "Supreme Council" in order to improve the survival rate of newcomers!

Before that, the survival rate of newcomers must be low!

However, according to what Zhang Shen has seen and heard, the survival rate of newcomers is less than three to one, which is quite low.

So, how low should it have been before?

Five to one? Seven to one? Ten to one?

Or lower!

However, what exactly is responsible for such a low survival rate?

In this world, what is the danger to newcomers and yourself?!
