After some conversation, picking up the corpses of mutant mice, Li Mo and the others followed the old man all the way to a nursery in the former park.

On the edge of the park, there is a small bungalow. But it looks like four or five flats, although it can live in people, it's too small.

However, when the old man opened the door, he found that there was a hole inside.

This small house, which seems to be the power distribution room of a former park, has a basement in addition to a machine that few people don't recognize very well.

And in the basement, it has obviously been cleaned by the old man. There was a broken quilt on the ground, and a layer of branches underneath.

Outside the power distribution room, in the next place, the old man also dug a cellar.

And the ordinary rats that Li Mo and the others killed were also brought back by the old man, and they must be stored as food.

When the old man opened the lid of the cellar, there was indeed a lot of fresh meat that had been peeled inside, most of which were rats. In addition to rat meat, there are also some dried vegetables that I don't know if they are wild vegetables or not.

Zhen Ying and the others stood aside and watched the old man busy with his work, and they were very panicked.

Li Mo was wandering around, looking at several mutated plants in the nursery on the side.

He doesn't understand plants, but he recognizes. Although he didn't know what varieties were planted in this nursery park before the end of the world, but now in it, he found several mutants that he knew.

The old man also packed up at this time and went to Li Mo's side.

Following his gaze, he said, "The kind that is more than a meter high, like a magnified green onion, with tassels on top." Just crushed. can squeeze out a kind of juice, and apply it to the body to interfere with the monster's sense of smell. ”

"I know this plant. Call it green spike grass. "Li Mo clearly knows something about this plant. Chemicals such as mosquito repellent can also be used to disguise human odor. But compared to this mutant plant. The effect is far from perfect. Of course, mutant plants aren't a panacea.

The others also walked to the edge of the green spike grass, crouched down and rummaged through.

Xu Mingdong and the others followed him, and they couldn't help but be very curious.

"Dude, what are you looking for?"

Li Mo quickly found another kind of grass with orange leaves, about the length of an arm, from the vicinity of the plant.

Then he said to a few people: "This kind of plant mostly grows around the green spike grass. You go find it now, collect as much as you can, and remember to root it. ”

His voice fell. Everyone is even more confused. But they didn't ask much, and they got busy.

The old man who followed him asked, "Is it any use for you to ask for this grass?" ”

Li Mo did not snub the old man, and replied: "Old man, species are mutually reinforcing, this kind of mutant plant that grows in the same area as the green spike grass has the opposite effect, and can be used to attract mutant beasts or evolutionary beasts. ”

The old man listened, but his face changed suddenly: "Attract monsters? But I've lived there for so long, and this hasn't happened. ”

Li Mo chuckled, "That's because this grass is not yet ripe. When ripe, it grows a globular fruit, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with a layer of velvet on the outside. And this kind of fruit needs to be refined to have that effect. ”

"I see." The old man couldn't help but nod. That's when it came down.

Seeing that everyone else had gone to collect the orange leaf grass, Li Mo asked the old man again, "Old man, let me ask you something again." Have you ever seen such a plant......"

After a brief description, the old man pondered for a moment. Nodding his head, he said, "Yes, it's not far from here." ”

"How about you take us around?"

The old man did not refuse. After Xu Mingdong and the others came back, they went straight to that place together.

What Li Mo asked was naturally the kind of plant he was looking for this time.

Although they were calculated by this old man before, it was also a matter of convenience, and they didn't have to bump around without a head.

About an hour later, several people returned to the old man's nest again, and Xu Mingdong was still carrying a bundle of plants, like small saplings, more than one person tall, about twenty.

And now that the goal has been achieved, Li Mo and the others will naturally have to go back.

However, a few old people looked at him, looking like they wanted to say something.

Li Mo knew what everyone was thinking at a glance, but he sighed secretly in his heart. However, he still looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, didn't you want to go to the gathering place?" ”

Xu Mingdong was happy when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, old man, we are all from the Xingcheng gathering place, why don't you go back with us this time." ”

In the eyes of several of them, the old man must be trapped here, and naturally he inevitably developed some sympathy.

Especially Lao Xu, even if he almost died in the old man's pit. But just like Li Mo said before, when the enemy is unknown, that kind of behavior is normal.

This has nothing to do with the Virgin Mary or the Virgin, it can only be regarded as a kind of respect for life from everyone, especially such a tenacious old man.

But what they couldn't imagine was that the old man smiled and shook his head when he heard it: "I'm used to being alone, and besides, I don't have many days to live." Live one day, count it as one day. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless.

If this is a normal person, invited by a large gathering place, especially an invitation from a group of powerful people, will he still faint happily? You may not be able to catch up!

But the old man refused without hesitation! It's just incomprehensible.

But only Li Mo vaguely understood that this old man should have completely lost trust in his kind. I don't know what happened in this place after the end of the world.

Moreover, the elderly may be reluctant to readapt to a social human life because they have been struggling to survive alone for a long time.

In fact, this situation seems very unreasonable in the eyes of others, but Li Mo doesn't think so. Before he was reborn, it was not unheard of such people.

Of course, it doesn't have to be the old man, but some of them are more serious than the old man.

What's more, due to the long-term loneliness, it also leads to the deterioration of language ability, and he can't even speak.

Therefore, Li Mo would not force the old man in front of him, he could see that the old man had already made up his mind, and no matter how much persuasion he wanted, it would be superfluous.

So he stopped Xu Mingdong, who was about to speak again, and directly took the bundle of mutated plants, took out a few from it and handed them to the old man. He said: "This kind of plant is easy to survive, it grows very quickly when watered, and it only needs to be cut off to be replanted." ”

The old man knew that he had a deep meaning, and when he took the plant, his wrinkled and rough face suddenly turned serious, and asked, "Is this plant of any special use?" (To be continued......)
