Chapter 50: Qingcheng with a checkpoint
It seems that the role of the forest is more like unlocking.
If you find something in the forest, the seed of that thing will appear in the space shop.
Jiang Sheng wandered around for a while, and actually found a few wild strawberries.
I bought the seeds and planted them immediately, and it didn't take long for the seeds to ripen, and the strawberries were the size of a baby's fist.
Jiang Sheng couldn't wait to pick one and put it in his mouth, the sweet and sour taste rushed straight to his brain, and his happiness was almost bubbling.
However, she didn't plan to take it out of the space and let Su Shen and them know.
The apples themselves can be explained as supplies collected in a fruit store.
After all, apples are not easy to spoil and can last for a while in cold weather.
But that's not the case with strawberries, and now if she can come up with such a red and bright strawberry, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Although he has the idea of continuing to get along with everyone and becoming friends, Jiang Sheng does not plan to show his bottom.
Withdrawing his consciousness from the space, Jiang Sheng just opened his eyes and saw that Cheng Xiao's dark eyes were only 10 centimeters away from his face.
This situation has only been seen in horror movies, and Jiang Sheng's scream that was about to gush out of his throat was forcibly endured by himself.
She gave Cheng Xiao a punch angrily, this fool, is he afraid that he won't scare her to death if he is so close?
Cheng Xiao could feel some imperceptible changes in Jiang Sheng's body, but he couldn't do it if he continued to explore, so he subconsciously got closer and closer.
Who would want to be beaten upright?
looked at Cheng Xiao's dirty body, his clothes were all torn and torn, and the soles of the shoes he wore on his feet were worn out.
Jiang Sheng rummaged in the space for a while, and took out a long-sleeved sweatshirt with a hood.
After all, such a swagger with Cheng Xiao may cause trouble, so it's better to let Cheng Xiao disguise it as much as possible.
Zombies don't have any requirements for hot and cold conditions, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable wearing a sweatshirt, putting on a baseball cap, then a sweatshirt and hat, and a mask.
Although it looks a little weird on a hot day, it is much better than exposing Cheng Xiao's pure black eyes and sharp fangs.
Helping Cheng Xiao wipe his face, Jiang Sheng continued to sit back in the chair with some distraction.
The vigil was indeed extremely boring, and seeing that there was not even a single zombie outside the door, Jiang Sheng knew that it was Cheng Xiao's masterpiece.
Su Shen is right, with a powerful zombie like Cheng Xiao by his side, it is indeed full of security and convenience.
What exactly is an ability that doesn't work?
Cheng Xiao didn't use his abilities very often, and the only time he met Jiang Sheng was when he first met him.
can confuse people's minds, and it feels a little similar to Su Shen's spiritual system, but he is not very sure.
That's it, Jiang Sheng has always had a strong desire to explore, and after thinking about it, he felt that he didn't have any thoughts, so he obediently leaned back in the chair in a daze.
Cheng Xiao didn't make trouble, and obediently snuggled up to Jiang Sheng's side, just like when he was a child.
——
Time passed day by day, and 24 days have passed since everyone embarked on the journey.
Fortunately, it is now only a city away from Qingcheng, and it must be possible to reach Qingcheng safely in two days.
The driving speed is much faster, and the main credit is the efficiency.
If it weren't for the coercion he unleashed from the high-level zombies, the car on the road would have been chased by the low-level zombies a long time ago.
The people in the team saw that Cheng Xiao not only didn't eat meat, but would also help them get through the difficulties, and they had taken more care of Cheng Xiao.
Along the way, Cheng Xiao continued to hunt zombies, and the crystal nuclei he took out would be obediently kept, and finally handed over to Jiang Sheng.
At first, Jiang Sheng was afraid that Cheng Xiao would run away, but he didn't expect that this guy would even pick the crystal nucleus at an amazing speed, and there would be no situation where he couldn't keep up with the car.
Although he hadn't gotten out of the car much in the past few days, the crystal nucleus in Jiang Sheng's hand had continued to multiply.
Even Cheng Xiao hunted two third-order zombies, looking at the crystal nucleus that seemed to be flowing with huge energy inside, Jiang Sheng gave Cheng Xiao a thumbs up again.
That's great, isn't it?
However, Jiang Sheng did not control all the crystal nuclei, since Cheng Xiao does not eat human flesh, the energy in daily life must be obtained from the crystal nucleus.
So Jiang Sheng only left a third-level crystal nucleus, and the other was returned to Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao searched for crystal nuclei every day, hunted zombies, and had a lot of fun.
He could naturally feel that Jiang Sheng's interest in crystal nuclei was very high, and he usually estimated that he would kill many more zombies to please Jiang Sheng.
However, the main reason is that Jiang Sheng is too weak.
At least in Cheng Xiao's eyes, Jiang Sheng was unreasonably weak.
Although it is stronger than a third-level zombie, it is still not enough to see in front of Cheng Xiao, an invincible mutant zombie.
The people in the car are a little envious, Jiang Sheng's zombie cousin is too good, right?
It can drive away low-level zombies, and it can also help Jiang Sheng capture the crystal nucleus!
Su Shen also felt a little comforted in his heart, with Cheng Xiao, Jiang Sheng's future safety would be more guaranteed.
The car finally arrived at the edge of Qingcheng, but it didn't take long before a roadblock appeared in front of it.
There is a sign standing next to it: [Toll, 5 catties of grain or 3 liters of pure water per person. 】
Jiang Sheng frowned, he hadn't come back for a few months, why was there still a shutdown around Qingcheng?
Radish was a bit better at dealing with people, and he hurriedly got out of the car and went to get close to the guard on duty in front of him.
"Brother, is it inconvenient to reveal who is in charge of this toll?"
Radish handed over a cigarette, although there was only one, it was also a rare good thing in the last days.
The guard looked around, saw that no one noticed, and carefully put the cigarette in his pocket.
The face is a lot kinder: "This is the toll collected by our boss, after all, this Qingcheng is also near the sea, and some people will go to the beach to fill some seawater and sell it in inland areas."
As a native of Qingcheng, this sea water can't be dragged away by outsiders in vain, right?
So our boss set up a checkpoint to collect tolls. ”
The radish was harvested when he saw it, and without asking any more questions, he returned to the car.
After getting into the car, Radish informed everyone of the situation.
Jiang Sheng looked at Cheng Xiao, who had been hidden in the car by her in advance.
Although Cheng Xiao can enter Qingcheng by herself, she is always not at ease, so it is better to watch him enter with her own eyes.
"I desperately came to the coast from the mainland, thinking about pulling some water back to sell, but I didn't expect to encounter a checkpoint."
Jiang Sheng sighed a little, ordinary people naturally had no chance to taste the pure water made by the superpowers.
Therefore, we can only barter, like gambling to quote the sea water brought back from the sea.
These people who came to the beach to fetch water wanted to make a windfall, but they never thought that there would be a checkpoint here.
However, looking at the appearance of these people paying tolls without changing their faces, it must be the case not only in Qingcheng, but also in all coastal cities.
"The toll paid to enter the city is relatively small, and if you want to transport water from Qingcheng, you need at least these grains!"
Radish sticks out five fingers.
Su Cheng was puzzled: "50 catties of grain? ”
"No, no, no, 500 pounds."
