Chapter 11: Zhang Ning's Harvest

The supermarket where Zhang Ning is located is large and divided into two floors.

Following the smell to the escalator, looking at the dark second floor, Zhang Ning flinched a little.

"I don't think there will be any monsters or anything like that, will they appear on it......"

Touching his rumbling belly and feeling the overwhelming hunger, in the end, the physical desire overcame the fear in his heart.

"I'm like this anyway, no matter how bad it is, it won't be any worse. Besides, I'm the main character. ”

Zhang Ning cheered himself up and mustered up the courage to step on the escalator, which had long since ceased to function.

There are no lights on the second floor, only a few emergency lights in the corners emit a faint green light.

Although the sky outside has not yet completely darkened, there are only a few ventilation windows on the second floor of the supermarket, and the faint light from the outside can no longer provide enough light for Zhang Ning to see the road under his feet after passing through layers of obstacles to enter the interior.

"It's so dark" Zhang Ning shrugged his nose, trying to catch the aroma in the air, and soon he found that the aroma was coming from the towering shelf to the north.

Zhang Ning tiptoed forward, and by the dim green light on the wall, he could roughly distinguish a potted tree-like potted plant placed on the side of the shelf, each of which was lush and vibrant.

"The fortune tree in this supermarket is really good."

Zhang Ning complained about the scene in front of him, and was about to move forward to explore the specific location of the source of the aroma, when he suddenly found that under the dense leaves, there seemed to be volleyball-sized fruits hanging one after another, faintly, not clearly.

"Can the Fortune Tree still bear fruit?"

A big question mark popped up in Zhang Ning's heart, and his intuition told him that he couldn't move forward, and if he went further, he might encounter danger.

"I'm going to have to find something to light it on."

Zhang Ning, who had made up his mind, immediately retreated to the escalator and went downstairs to look for it.

Fortunately, there was a flashlight and batteries at the cashier counter downstairs, and Zhang Ning quickly disassembled one and went up to the second floor again.

The white flashlight instantly dispelled the darkness in front of him, but when Zhang Ning shone the flashlight at the source of the fragrance, the terrifying scene in front of him almost frightened him to throw away the flashlight in his hand.

In the potted plants next to the towering shelves, there are indeed common fortune trees.

But have you ever seen a red fortune tree that grows to the ceiling?

The tree is covered in dark red heart-shaped leaves, and its tiny vines overlap like a giant net, waiting for its prey to come to its door.

And the volleyball-sized fruits I saw earlier were not the fruits of the fortune tree, but the hideous human heads.

The most chilling thing is that the eyes of these heads are rolled back, and their faces are all smiling weirdly.

"My old swan, what the hell is this?"

The flashlight in Zhang Ning's hand shone back and forth, and he wanted to lean forward to take a closer look, but unexpectedly, the originally quiet fortune tree actually moved!

The sound of rustling kept coming, and the tiny vines slowly intertwined, gradually forming a huge net in mid-air, aiming at the direction where Zhang Ning was swooping.

Zhang Ning came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly dodged back, but his legs were weak and he couldn't make drastic movements, and he sat down on the ground with an unstable center of gravity.

Fortunately, the culling distance of the vines was limited, and the big net could cover Zhang Ning's legs, and it did not completely envelop him.

Feeling that the vines covering his legs were tightening little by little, Zhang Ning was in a hurry and wanted to tear them apart with both hands.

But after two pulls, he was desperate to find that the seemingly weak vine was actually as tough as a hemp rope, and he could never tear it apart with his hands alone.

Seeing that he was about to be dragged by the vines in the direction of the fortune tree, Zhang Ning didn't care about the thirty-seven twenty-one in a hurry, opened his mouth and bit on the vine.

His original idea was very simple, since he couldn't tear his hands apart, then I would bite with my teeth.

People are often under extreme threats, which will stimulate the latent animal nature in the body.

Zhang Ning gnawed at the vines on his legs like a jackal, and what was surprising was that the vines that were originally difficult to tear with both hands slowly lost their toughness after being bitten by Zhang Ning's teeth and broke apart.

The purple-red slurry splashed out from the fracture and inevitably entered Zhang Ning's mouth, at this time he only felt numb in his mouth, as if it was as comfortable as electricity, and when he bitten, he began to subconsciously swallow these purple slurry.

"it!" Finally tore open the last vine tied to his feet, and Zhang Ning, who was about to take a breath, let out another exclamation.

It turned out that when he was biting, his body had been unconsciously dragged for several meters.

At this time, he was right under the fortune tree, and the thick branches were like mallets in the hands of giants, and they slammed at him.

That Zhang Ning naturally couldn't wait for death on the spot, seeing the tree trunk whistling towards him, Zhang Ning rolled on a lazy donkey and dodged the fatal blow.

He climbed to a safe place away from the fortune tree, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Wow, I scared the baby to death, but I'm lucky I'm quick and witty!" Zhang Ning didn't forget to boast when he was panting.

The Fortune Tree becomes more and more restless when he finds his prey escaping from his grasp.

The vines on the tree trembled, and a stronger fragrance came out of the tree, as if they wanted to seduce Zhang Ning, a duck who came to his mouth and ran away.

"Master, I'm not fooled."

Zhang Ning took a sip in the direction of the fortune tree, "But it's really fragrant, if it's an ordinary zombie, I will definitely come forward again at this time, but I'm not an ordinary zombie, I'm the protagonist!" ”

After saying the lines of the second middle school to the fortune tree, Zhang Ning didn't care whether it could understand it or not, and turned around again and walked downstairs.

After a while, Zhang Ning returned to the fortune tree again. The difference is that this time he has a rope in his hand, and at the other end of the rope, there are 5 zombies tied to him.

It turned out that Zhang Ning had just gone downstairs not to leave the supermarket, but to find a rope and a "helper".

There are ropes in the supermarket, Zhang Ning randomly selected a few thicker clotheslines and tied them together to form a regular rope.

I came to the street again, and seeing a wandering zombie is a set, and seeing a wandering zombie is a set.

The zombies are all weak chicken zombies similar to the four security guards that Zhang Ning encountered before, they have no IQ, and can only distinguish whether they are humans or the same kind in front of them, while Zhang Ning is a real zombie.

In the face of the same kind, those weak chicken zombies naturally won't pounce on them, but will only grin and whimper with unknown meaning, so Zhang Ning easily grabbed 5 "helpers".

The five zombies crowded each other and stood within the culling range of the Fortune Tree under Zhang Ning's push, while Zhang Ning quietly retreated to a safe distance and quietly observed the Fortune Tree's movements.

The Fortune Tree still exudes an attractive fragrance, but this fragrance does not seem to have any attraction to the five "helpers" captured by Zhang Ning, on the contrary, these five zombies still maintain their original lazy state, moving around aimlessly.

But the Fortune Tree didn't care whether the prey in front of it was the one that ran away before, and began to weave vines very actively, reforming a huge rattan net, and shrouding it in the direction of the five zombies.

The zombies were all shrouded in the vines without accident, and as the vines tightened little by little, the zombies began to struggle violently, and one of them actually broke free.

When Zhang Ning saw the scene in front of him, he secretly screamed in his heart that he had succeeded. Hurriedly lowered his body and groped in the direction of the fortune tree.

The culling range of this fortune tree is obviously shrouded in 5 zombies, but one of them can easily break free, which shows that the upper limit of each hunt of this pillar of monster trees in front of it is 4 zombies, and even if there are more prey at its fingertips, it can't be distracted.

Just when the fortune tree couldn't be distracted, Zhang Ning had already touched the tree. He naturally remembered that this fortune tree also had a trick "heavy hammer spark", so he didn't dare to be careless and closely watched every move on the canopy.

But I don't know if it's because the Fortune Tree is doing its best to deal with those 4 zombies, or because the previous hammer attack has consumed a lot of energy, the "hammer spark" that Zhang Ning was waiting for has never fallen.

Seeing that the situation was safe, Zhang Ning no longer hesitated, and came to the main trunk of the Fortune Tree as quickly as possible, no way, he was too weak to make strenuous movements such as running.

Smelling the strong aroma in the air, Zhang Ning felt that his saliva was about to run down.

That's right, the aroma whetted his appetite!

He searched carefully for the location of the scent, and finally found the source of the scent three inches above the root of the tree.

It was a narrow crack, like a pimple formed by a tree that had healed after it had been injured, and there was a sparkling lilac liquid oozing out of it, and the amount was not large, about half a teacup.

Deep in the crack, there was a white ball that looked like a hard-boiled egg that had been peeled off.

Zhang Ning stretched out his finger and dipped it in a little lilac liquid, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"Yes, the fragrance is indeed volatilized by this liquid."

Just as he was about to take a closer look at the liquid on his fingers, the hunger that had been sticking with him for a long time suddenly intensified.

Zhang Ning suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he involuntarily put his finger into his mouth and sucked greedily.

"My old swan, what have I done, how am I eating this thing!" When Zhang Ning reacted, he was desperate to find that he had cleaned his fingers, and there was not even a trace of purple liquid.

Zhang Ning suddenly panicked in his heart and froze in place.

After a while, he found that he didn't feel any discomfort in his body, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to crouch down and look into the crack, reaching out to take out the white ball-like object.

The oval object was smooth to the touch, and when you squeezed it, you could feel liquid oozing out of it.

"It feels so weird, why don't you take it out and take a look?"

Zhang Ning immediately used his five fingers to take out the unknown object, but found that the egg-like ball seemed to grow in the roots of this tree, and it could not be easily removed.

"The little baby is still very strong."

Naturally, he is not the kind of person who gives up easily, and suddenly his five fingers are claws, and he is pulling hard to clasp this ball.

At the moment when it was pulled out, the fortune tree, which was originally full of vitality, instantly withered, and the vines that had tightly entangled the four zombies before were also scattered one after another, looking like they were completely lifeless.

"Hey, this is a good thing that I took out......" Zhang Ning looked at the spherical object in his hand.

The unidentified object resembles an orange in its entirety, consisting of 12 petals of flesh and a red color at the bottom, a purplish-red pillar that has been broken and connects to the base of the spherical object.

Looking at the lilac liquid on his hands, Zhang Ning thought about it, but after all, he couldn't resist the strong drive of instinct, and stretched out his tongue and licked it.

The purple liquid was like honey, it seemed to be extremely viscous, but it actually melted in the mouth, and there was a cool feeling coming from the cavity, which made Zhang Ning feel refreshed.

What's even more amazing is that Zhang Ning's terrible hunger gradually subsided after licking this liquid, and his originally weak body slowly became full of vitality.

In the end, Zhang Ning, who had licked all the lilac liquid, threw the white object in his hand into his mouth and chewed it......

"It tastes so good!"
