Chapter 62: Strange Mushroom Forest
Those leek-shaped wheat seedlings are no longer the green scene that Zhang Yifei should have in his memory, but they are yellow and wilting, like frosted eggplants.
"What's going on?" The car was driving on the road, and wherever he passed, Zhang Yifei saw the fields along the way, all of which were this scene.
"I guess it's because the sun isn't shining right now." Driving the car, Lao Ge pointed to the sky.
Indeed, after entering the dust cloud, the daily light on the ground is severely limited, and it is cloudy during the day, let alone at night, and the stars are basically not visible.
Wheat seedlings grow in summer, mainly relying on sufficient sunshine and nutrients, and insufficient sunlight will not grow well.
"Now it's all yellow and yellow, looking at this situation, this stubble of wheat can't bear seeds." Zhang Yifei looked at the fields outside and sighed - maybe from this moment on, the grain will really start to go extinct.
Unless someone can breed new, crops that don't need much light to develop properly.
As the car continued to drive, the surrounding scene was getting worse and worse, and far from the city, some of the fields were completely deserted and completely uncared for.
The surrounding villages estimated that the peasants would either die, or they would completely give up on the fields because they could not produce them.
As the car gets farther and farther away from the city, the surrounding area is becoming more and more deserted, and there are ridiculously few vehicles on the provincial road. This kind of ruin and desolation outside the city is in stark contrast to the chaos and madness inside the city, which makes Zhang Yifei, who has just left the city, have a very strange change in his state of mind.
"The end is really coming...... Lao Ge looked at the scene outside, and also felt in his heart, "I don't know how the villages outside the city live...... Speaking of several famines in modern China, many more people died in the countryside than in the cities, they grew food, but the big grain depots were all in the cities, which is quite unfair......"
"Well, it's quite unfair, but there's nothing fair in this world, fairness is a joke......" Zhang Yifei continued to look out the window, chatting with Lao Ge casually, "In peacetime, the city must be the distribution center of all commodities, and there is no way." To be fair...... What's so fair, some people are born with everything, some people are born with nothing......"
"Eh, wait, what do you see that?" Zhang Yifei was chatting casually, but while talking, he suddenly saw something strange.
"Where?"
"That!" Zhang Yifei pointed to the place where he was looking.
Following his fingers, Lao Ge saw the depths of the wheat field in front of Zhang Yifei's side, and there was a strange mushroom forest abruptly, where the mushrooms could grow to half a human height, with fan-leaf-shaped, small umbrella-shaped, very thick stems, and thin stems, and the color was gray-black, which was very strange.
"Is this a mushroom?" Lao Ge frowned, he had never grown anything, and his cognition of mushrooms was at the stage of shiitake mushrooms and enoki mushrooms.
"It shouldn't be any kind of mushroom." Zhang Yifei shook his head, "Stop, I want to go down and have a look." ”
"Hmm." After hearing his words, Lao Ge began to slow down and step on the brakes, and when the car was parked, it was the closest place to the mushroom forest.
After the car stopped on the side of the road, Zhang Yifei and Lao Ge got out of the car together and looked at the mushroom forest that was connected to the wheat field from a distance.
The area where the things spread is not small, and from here, you can see that a large area of dense and dense areas has been invaded by this mushroom, and then where these mushroom forests and wheat meet, the two creatures are also fighting for territory - in fact, there is a phenomenon of turf fighting between plants.
But it is clear that in this battle for nutrients, this mushroom has the absolute upper hand, and the place where the mushroom forest and the wheat seedlings meet is not smooth and distinct - but uneven, some mushrooms have spread into the wheat seedlings, but none of the wheat seedlings have entered the mushroom forest.
"This thing is stronger than weeds!" Lao Ge sighed when he saw this, "This used to be a wheat field, why did such a strange thing suddenly grow?" ”
"I don't know." Zhang Yifei also shook his head, it stands to reason that if it was just a dust cloud blocking the sun, the species should not change so quickly, "Could it be related to the mound of sand grains?" ”
"Perhaps, aren't they called the kings of the wild? But what does making these things have to do with the king of the wild? ”
"Hell knows." Zhang Yifei jumped off the wheat field while speaking, "I'll take a look." ”
"Then ......" Lao Ge looked at the pitted ground below, and then looked at his fat body of more than 200 catties, "Then I'll wait for you here!" ”
"Oh!"
After Zhang Yifei jumped off the road, he walked all the way to the wheat field, and then startled countless flying insects along the way.
He had just looked very closely on the road, but after jumping down, he realized that there were many insects in the wheat field - much more than he remembered the number of insects in the wheat field.
All the way through, what ladybugs, moths, grasshoppers...... There were countless surprises in a mess, and there were some things that Zhang Yifei had never seen before.
"Even if you don't use pesticides, it's not all bugs...... Belch! Zhang Yifei walked forward, suddenly there was a pain in the front of the side of his calf, and when he raised his leg, he saw that his pants were torn, and when he tore open his pants, he saw a strange insect on his calf, struggling to drill into his flesh.
The skin had been torn open, and the thing was digging into his flesh......
"What's it, locust?" Pulling the insect's ass and pulling him out of his flesh, Zhang Yifei raised his eyes and saw a very strange insect with "sharp teeth and sharp mouth", the insect looked a bit like a locust, but the whole body was blue and black, and the mouth was like a drill, with strange hard horny substances.
Zhang Yifei's current physical strength, pistol bullets are difficult to shoot through, this thing actually drilled a small hole in his leg, if it were an ordinary person, it is estimated that the skin and flesh would be torn into the body in an instant just after feeling it.
"What the, it's disgusting!" After taking the worm in his hand and looking at it a few times, the thing was still struggling in his hand very vigorously, Zhang Yifei's fingers pinched it hard, and blood and mucus spurted out of the insect's butt and mouth.
"!" Throwing away the dead insects, Zhang Yifei shook off the mucus on his hands and continued to move forward.
In order to prevent him from being "possessed" by insects again, he ran directly behind him, and kept checking as he ran, until he reached the junction of the wheat field and the mushroom forest, and then stopped.
Then Zhang Yifei saw an even more disgusting scene inside.
There are more insects in the mushroom forest than in the wheat field, from the strange big centipede covered in long hair, to the earthworm with teeth in the mouth, everything is there, and on top of those mushrooms, there are also small insects like the tips of white hair, and he is dazzled to watch.
