Chapter 89: A New Food for Mankind (12)

Ye Fan thought about it, and felt that what Fei Qian said was reasonable, and after walking for more than half a month, under the scorching sun, it was really not cost-effective to finally come here and not go in. And as things stand, there are no large meteorites falling in this area, which means that the chance of plant mutation is smaller than in other areas. I just don't know if I can survive after so many days without rain and no one watering.

When everyone was ready, they marched towards the mountain. Led by the snake girl and Wang Meng, after Mu Jingzhi and Feiqian Palace, Yang Qing still accompanied Ye Fan in the middle of the team. Perhaps it is the lesson of the dodder seed that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although the surrounding scenery is not bad, but no one is in the mood to watch, a group of people walking on the stone road but no one makes a sound, everyone is very careful to be vigilant against the seemingly stationary plants around.

Walking all the way, there was no sound except for the footsteps and breathing of everyone on the stone road, and this quiet division made the originally beautiful mountain road dyed with a strange color. In this atmosphere, Ye Fan became more and more nervous, her eyes scanned the surroundings in a panic, although there were many people around, but they couldn't calm her emotions.

"There's a dead man on the ground up ahead." The snake girl who walked in the front said that everyone stopped one after another, and walked the boss for a while, not to mention the living, not even the dead, which is not normal in itself.

Fei Qian in the back walked quickly to the front of the team, and saw a "person" lying on the steps not far away, the "person" was lying with his head facing the first book, reading, and the novel {y}{b}{d}{u}, and his limbs were twisted and lying down, as if he had rolled down from above, so his limbs were twisted into a strange angle. Fei Qian took out the blue fox and was about to step forward to take a closer look, but Ye Fan grabbed his shoulder from behind, "Don't go over." ”

Ye Fan's eyesight has always been good, and after becoming an alien, it goes without saying, at this time, she clearly saw that white flowers bloomed on the corpse, and the bones of the words drooped downward, as if she was overwhelmed. "That's Crystal Orchid." Ye Fan pointed to the words from the corpse and said to Fei Qian, "That thing has no chlorophyll like dodder seeds, but dodder seeds survive by absorbing nutrients from plants, and it relies on decaying plants to obtain nutrients." ”

Ye Fan explained with some fear, although she is not a botanist, Ye Fan is very interested in strange plants, and before the end of the world, she saw a lot of plant introductions such as Rafflesia and corpse incense konjac. So at this time, she knew very clearly that the one that was blooming on the corpse was the crystal orchid called the flower of death.

"The book says that the flower only blooms in a certain climate where the mountains and forests are cool, moist and humus-rich, and I have never heard that they bloom on corpses. You'd better put on extra clothes before you go over. Ye Fan pulled the corner of Fei Qian's clothes and said, with the lesson of dodder seeds, Ye Fan was a little worried about plants that did not have chlorophyll and relied on other channels to obtain nutrients.

"Okay." Fei Qian patted Ye Fan's hand for comfort, and took out a coat from the mountain bag he was carrying, put it on, and put on gloves.

"Wang Meng, let's go over together." In order to prevent the situation from being stunned by dodder seeds, Fei Qian also brought Wang Meng, who was strengthened all over his body.

The two cautiously approached the corpse. Surprisingly, the corpse was not human, it was dressed in minority clothing, but its blue skin and jet-black nails indicated that it was no longer human, and the still rolling eyes were even more indicative of this.

Fei Qian lowered his head and carefully looked at the crystal orchids on the chest of the corpse, making sure that their roots were all in the corpse and not simply happened to fall near here. Fei Qian stretched out his hand and gently touched the flower bones, although there was a layer of gloves, Fei Qian could still feel the amount of water contained in it, China Resources Run.

"This thing is really. In the past, people ate plants, but now they have become plants eating people. Wang Meng also squatted down and took a closer look, and I have to say that the appearance of the crystal orchid is still good, with white flowers and translucent petals, which are quite crystal clear. But such a beautiful word is made from a dead body.

"Come here." Fei Qian checked it, and after making sure that there was no danger, he recruited the people behind him to follow, while he habitually took out the glass to sample. I wanted to pull out a whole one, but the roots of the crystal orchid were not only deep, but also intertwined. So Fei Qian could only give up and instead use a dagger to cut off the exposed Qi Gen and put it into a special bag.

Everyone continued to walk forward, and on the way they came across several zombie corpses, also with crystal orchids on their bodies, and each zombie seemed to be alive, but they couldn't move.

"It seems that this mutated crystal orchid is still a nemesis for zombies." Yang Qing kicked away the corpses that were blocking the middle of the road, and the closer he got to the village on the mountain, the more zombies who couldn't move and could only lie on the ground to use as fertilizer for Crystal Orchid.

"If that's the case, it would be good, we can pull back all the crystal orchids here, and then plant a circle on the edge of the base, so that we don't have to worry about zombies sneaking up on them in the future." Ye Fan said jokingly.

Everyone walked for about half an hour, and finally came to the entrance of the village, but the beautiful scene they expected did not appear. During this season, the terraced fields that should be green are replaced by yellowed leaves and dry land.

"The situation doesn't seem to be very promising." Mu Jingzhi looked at the nearby hills that had been developed into terraced fields and said, "I don't know if I can find it." ”

"While the sky is still bright, go to the field in groups of two, as long as it is still alive, dig it out, and then subdivide it at night." Fei Qian said, looking at the terraced fields with a scene in winter, Fei Qian's heart was half cold, although this trip out did not say that there was no harvest at all, but in this mountain, or in the surrounding mountains without large meteorites can not find new crops that can be cultivated, the situation of the base is not optimistic.

After hearing this, everyone did not procrastinate, except for their weapons, they put down other things and went into battle lightly. It takes a lot of time to inspect several hills, and this is related to whether there will be enough food in the future, so everyone does not dare to be careless. Ye Fan originally wanted to invite Yun Ling, who was left alone, to join him and Feiqian, but was refused.

"I'm not a human being now, but I'm not a pet either! I'm not going to give you two light bulbs. After speaking, without waiting for Ye Fan to say more, the snake's tail slipped out more than ten meters away, and the speed was much faster than when he was at the base before.

"Don't worry, it's a lot more handy than we are." Fei Qian pointed to Yun Ling, who was already looking for rice in the field not far away. "She doesn't need sympathy. Do you understand? ”

Ye Fan glanced at Yun Ling, who was shuttling alone through the terraces, and said, "Well, I won't be in the future." "The reason why Ye Fan wants to take care of Yun Ling everywhere is because she feels that Yun Ling is very pitiful, even zombies in this world still have a lot of companions, but Yun Ling is the only one, this is the only one, I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate.

Since Ye Fan was a relatively petite woman, everyone finally decided to divide the field she was in charge of with the mountain closest to the village, and the rest of the people went to other mountains one after another, although the distance was not very far, but after all, they couldn't fly over directly, and it still took some physical strength to go up and down.

Ye Fan and Feiqian quickly arrived at the place he was responsible for, and now Ye Fan was no longer surprised by the corpse that had fallen on the side of the road with the crystal orchid on his body. Bypassing a zombie that fell on the edge of the ridge, Ye Fan stepped into the field with one foot. I thought it was hard land, but it was unexpectedly soft.

Squatting down, Ye Fan began to look carefully, while Fei Qian was one layer above Ye Fan. The two of them walked back and forth several times like this, and after checking several floors, they didn't see a single valuable plant.

Ye Fan was a little deflated, patted his waist that was starting to ache a little because he had been bending and said, "I now know the hard work of the farmer uncle." I've only walked a few floors, and I feel a pain in my back. ”

"Then sit on the edge of the field for a while, there are so many places, you will definitely not be able to finish today." Fei Qian said as he continued to check. There were less than 20 of them in total, and it would certainly not be enough time to search all these hills carefully. So I don't care about Ye Fan's time to rest.

Ye Fan heard Fei Qian say this, so he didn't wronged himself, and sat on the ridge of the field. Looking at the green mountains in the distance, she couldn't figure out why the trees on the mountains were growing well, but the crops in the fields were basically dead. Just when Ye Fan was breathing in the fresh air and was puzzled, her ankle suddenly stabbed as if it had been crossed by something, just like the feeling of naughtily reaching out to pull the grass on the side of the road when she was a child, and it still had a hot pain. Startled, Ye Fan quickly shrunk his feet and ran out of the field.

"What's wrong?" Fei Qian asked worriedly when he saw Ye Fan running out of the field.

Ye Fan twisted his brows and rolled up his trouser legs, only to see a bright red fine mark on his ankle, although the mouth was not deep, but there was still some blood, which reflected Ye Fan's fair skin, which looked particularly dazzling. "It seems that what Xiao Meng said is right, the crops in this field will also attack people." Ye Fan said while casually dripping some alcohol onto the wound.

"Where did you get hurt?" Fei Qian asked.

"That! Just where I was sitting. Ye Fan pointed, and the disinfectant effect of alcohol made her grin for a while.

Fei Qian casually picked up a branch on the side of the road, stepped on the place where Ye Fan was sitting just now, and pushed aside the "grass" below. A blue-yellow plant appeared in front of him, and there were still traces of blood left by Ye Fan on the leaves, but it was slowly disappearing, and it looked like it should have been absorbed. And there are dense fine spots on the top of this plant, and Fei Qian knows that it should be spikes.

"Found it." Fei Qian smiled and said, "Yezi, come and get some water for it." Let's not dig it out yet, and we'll see tomorrow, if you can only drink blood, you can't grow it on a large scale. ”
