Chapter 36: Strange Potted Plants
Reinforcing the van is not a small project, many details must be considered, and as far as Lu Xing is concerned, Zhou Yunfeng and Lu Xing can only help get something at most, so the progress is very slow.
It took two days to complete, and the renovation work was not completely completed, and it would take at least another day to do it.
In his spare time, Zhou Yunfeng walked around the trading hall, where in addition to the open space for vehicles, there was also a simple house made of iron, boron and wood, which was originally the owner of this place and a place to rest on weekdays.
The iron shed has a total of two floors, and Zhou Yunfeng walked up to the second floor, and his line of sight was relatively open at the high point, and it was easy to observe the far point.
It wasn't the first time he had come to the second floor, but he hadn't paid much attention to it before, and this time, he found something strange.
"What the hell is this!"
At this time, Zhou Yunfeng was squatting in a corner, staring at a potted plant with an incredible expression.
I don't know why, the potted plant in front of me didn't die, it was alive and well, it looked a bit like a potted tomato plant, but the color was very wrong, the plant was not green, but blue, and even the fruit that came out of it was blue.
There are four fruits on the plant, all light blue, similar to tomatoes no matter how you look at them, about the size of an egg, almost round shape, and the skin is shiny, as if it has been smeared with oil.
Zhou Yunfeng felt inexplicable, blue tomatoes! It's the first time he's seen it, and he's going to see it if he doesn't think it's weird.
Zhou Yunfeng was very curious about this surviving potted plant, and after looking at it for a while, he found a pair of gloves, put them on his hands, returned to the poon pot and squatted next to it, carefully stretched out his hand, touched the plant, and then touched the fruit.
The tomato-like fruit has an incredibly smooth surface, and with a slight touch of his gloved fingers, it slides to the side, and Zhou Yunfeng is very surprised by this.
After a while, he couldn't help but be curious, and directly stretched out his five fingers to hold the fruit, and then pulled it hard, tearing the fruit off the plant.
As the fruit was plucked, the incredible happened!
The vine that connected the blue fruit, as well as the nearby leaves, withered at a rate visible to the naked eye, and in less than half a minute, it completely withered.
The remaining three fruits remained unchanged, and the connected vines and nearby branches and leaves were unharmed, and it seemed that only the ones that had just withered were affected.
Zhou Yunfeng was stunned, such a magical phenomenon, he saw it for the first time, it felt like magic, and then he put the fruit on the ground and reached out to touch the withered part just now.
As if the moisture had been lost, the branches and leaves dried up and turned gray.
After pondering for a while, he didn't see the reason, but one thing was certain: if he plucked the remaining three fruits, it was estimated that the whole plant would wither.
Picking up the blue tomato on the ground, Zhou Yunfeng played with it for a while, if he didn't lock it firmly with his fingers, as if with a little force, it would come out, showing that it was incredibly smooth.
No, Zhou Yunfeng stood up, walked to a table, put the blue tomato on the table, and then pulled out the saber on his body, fixed the tomato with one hand, and held the knife in the other, cutting it in half with one knife.
When I cut it, the structure inside was completely different from that of a tomato, there was no rich juice, and there was no pile of seeds, but it exuded a light fragrance, crystal clear like jelly, and there were only two things that looked like seeds.
"What's going on!"
Looking at the crystal clear flesh, Zhou Yunfeng seemed to have fallen into a magic barrier, as if there was an instinctive impulse in his body to send the flesh to his mouth, this feeling was very obvious and very strong.
Zhou Yunfeng's sanity is still there, and he knows that eating something of unknown origin is a very dangerous move, and he tries his best to resist this instinct, this strange feeling makes him feel very weird.
Out of sight and out of mind, Zhou Yunfeng simply put the things into a plastic box and covered it with a lid.
This potted plant aroused his strong interest, and then he quickly walked downstairs and called Lu Xing and Wang Cheng over.
Zhou Yunfeng seemed to know if the two of them would have similar impulses to himself after seeing the flesh.
…………
Hearing that there was a strange potted plant, Lu Xing temporarily put down the work in his hand and followed Zhou Yunfeng to the second floor with Wang Cheng.
After telling everything that had just happened, Lu Xing and Wang Cheng both felt incredible, and then Zhou Yunfeng took out the blue tomatoes in the box.
Lu Xing looked at the flesh in the box, observed it for a while, shook his head, and said, "The fruit does look very peculiar, but I don't have the feeling of wanting to eat it as you said." ”
"Brother Zhou, I don't have any special feelings, could it be your delusion." Wang Cheng also opened his mouth and said, his Lu Xing was the same, but he felt that the fruit was peculiar and did not feel anything.
After hearing this, Zhou Yunfeng frowned, looking at the flesh in the box, that feeling came again just now, instinctively urged him to eat the fruit, but he didn't dare to do it.
Zhou Yunfeng shook his head again and again: "It can't be an illusion, I still feel that way when I see it now, and it's very strong." ”
Lu Xing knew that he was not lying, and there was no need to lie, so he was silent for a while and said: "It may vary from person to person, according to what you said, it should be that your body is very eager to get the fruit, maybe what good will it do you to eat." ”
"But there is another possibility, that is, the fruit can affect you, but it can't affect me and Wang Cheng, as for what the reason, we can't be sure now, we may know in the future, before you are sure, you better not be impulsive, you can keep things, but don't eat them until you figure it out." Lu Xing continued.
After listening to this, Zhou Yunfeng nodded, and then closed the lid.
It didn't take long for Lu Xing to go back and continue to strengthen the body, and Wang Cheng also went over to help.
After the two left, Zhou Yunfeng went to look at the potted plant again, and then said to himself: "Why don't you take the whole potted plant with you then, it's not that big anyway, it's easy to carry." ”
He couldn't bear to leave the bonsai behind, so he decided to take the whole bonsai with him when he left.
In the end, the fruit that was picked was compressed by Zhou Yunfeng into a notebook, so that he didn't have to worry about deterioration.
…………
It took longer than expected to reinforce the van, mainly because Lu Xing found some problems halfway, and in order to ensure safety, he added some more things, and by the time the renovation was completed, it was already September 22.
They could probably guess that the sun would appear from October, emitting terrible polluting radiation, and there was not much time left, and before the sun came out, it was best to rush to Yecheng before that, otherwise it would be more and more dangerous.
The van looked ugly, with some metal inside and out, and an iron fence on the windshield to ensure that even if the glass shattered, polluters would not be able to enter.
The appearance is a little ugly, but practicality is the last word, and it doesn't make any sense to use it at all.
Time waits for no one, as soon as the transformation of the car is completed, Lu Xing immediately got into the car and sat in the driver's seat.
Zhou Yunfeng sat in the passenger seat, Wang Cheng sat in the back row, and after fastening his seat belt, the car slowly drove out of the trading floor and headed towards the village.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at their destination, and they also saw the polluters in the distance, at this time, except for Lu Xing's accident, Zhou Yunfeng and Wang Cheng were somewhat nervous.
"My hands are all steady, and I can't avoid a violent backlash later." At a distance, Lu Xing stopped the car and reminded him.
The two responded, and then, Lu Xing stepped on the accelerator and accelerated forward, while honking the horn a few times so that the polluters would notice it earlier.
The road is so big, some polluters are wandering in the fields, Lu Xing can't drive the car down, the most correct way is to only drive on the trail, if you drive in an uneven place, it is very likely to overturn, once overturned, the consequences can be imagined.
As the distance approached, there was also the sound of horns, and the polluters near the big tree heard the movement and ran towards the van.
The atmosphere is as if a big war is about to break out, and the result is bound to be tragic, either you die or I die.
Wang Cheng's heart was the most nervous, and he felt like a scene from a movie, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.
In movies, the protagonist often ends handsomely, but after all, it is a movie, reality can't be so perfect, and he is ready for the worst.
The speed of the special polluter is the fastest, and the first to run is the front, but at this time, the number of special polluters is not only two, but has increased to three.
There were only two a few days ago, and the new one was one of the ordinary polluters.
Seeing the three special polluters, Zhou Yunfeng frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but at this time, the situation was no longer able to turn back, and the arrow had to be sent on the string, they had no way to retreat, they could only directly crash over and knock out a bloody road!
When it was about the same distance, Lu Xing stepped on the accelerator violently, and the van suddenly accelerated, and the speedometer showed that the speed of the car at this time had reached 80 kilometers per hour, as long as it hit an ordinary polluter, it would be almost impossible to die.
Even special polluters are unlikely to survive this kind of impact, and the chance of being crippled is very high, so that their goal will be achieved, and they will not be killed directly, and if their movement is restricted, there is a way to solve it.
Bang!
A huge collision sounded, and a special polluter who ran towards him, his body hit the front of the car, and flew out in an instant, and he didn't know how many meters away he flew out.
A special polluter was knocked into the air, and the body also suffered a certain impact, Zhou Yunfeng felt a moment of violent vibration, which was a hundred times more exciting than being a bumper car.
The car did not slow down, Lu Xing stepped on the accelerator all the way, and rushed straight towards the other polluters who were oncoming.
The polluters were not afraid of death, and surrounded them from all sides.
