Chapter Fifty-Nine: Small Flowers and Grass Are Life
Su Mi handed the water cup to Qin Hao, took out an antibiotic and handed it to him, and motioned for Qin Hao to feed him the medicine.
In addition, Qin Hao applied the herbal powder brought by Su Mi to Ma Dexiang's face and body. After doing everything, Qin Hao got up and washed his hands with clean water.
He naturally saw the skin problems on Ma Dexiang's body, washed his hands and kept them clean, and also in order to prevent him from being infected with skin diseases again every day.
The two came to the eleventh floor together, but the situation in front of them was something they didn't expect. The ground was clean, and there was not a single golden cicada corpse, but the windows in the corridor were open, and there was still transparent slime on the windows.
Su Mi naturally knew what it was.
"When you went upstairs to check, there was no golden cicada corpse on the ground?"
Qin Hao nodded, "There are a few of them, and there are also such slime on the ground and on the windows. Most of the doors were open, and when I didn't, I knocked on the door and no one answered. ”
Qin Hao paused for a moment, "Do you think ......?"
"It should be the giant toad that ate the golden cicada."
Golden cicadas attack humans, giant toads eat golden cicadas, and giant toads attack humans. Are organisms targeting humans in addition to the ecological chain?
Su Mi didn't dare to think about it.
There were only a few golden cicada corpses left on the water outside. The cicadas outside had completely disappeared, as if these golden cicadas had never appeared.
The information provided by the little crocodiles to Su Mi was that the water was safe, and even at this time, Su Mi could not find a single giant tadpole on the entire surface of the water.
What she was worried about was the surprise attack of the giant toads, and now that even the giant tadpoles have disappeared, could it be that they have eaten enough and moved away? After all, after the mutation of organisms, the original habits of some organisms will change.
Now that the temperature is dropping every day, these things should also hibernate like Xiaoqing and Little Silver Snake in her space, right?
But Su Mi was still not at ease, so she let the little crocodiles patrol back and forth in the neighborhood several times before counting.
She looked at Qin Hao with a serious expression.
"The water level here won't go down for a while, and I'm going to find a place to live on higher ground for a while."
Qin Hao was stunned, "You want to go?" ”
"How long do you think a 23-story house can last if it was flooded to the tenth floor, and it was extremely hot before?"
Qin Hao was silent.
"Have you decided where you're going?"
Su Mi shook her head, "I should go to a higher place, and maybe I will stay when I find a suitable place." "She had already figured out that there were a lot of building materials in her space, even a lot of wood. Building a house mixed with red brick, cement and wood is not a problem.
And she thought that it was best to be in the mountains, with high terrain and sparsely populated, so she didn't have to worry too much.
Qin Hao didn't say anything after being silent for a while. Su Mi is right, the buildings in the community at the moment may not allow them to live until they are old. Coupled with the golden cicadas and giant toads this time, it's no longer safe here.
"By the way, what are you doing with me today?"
"Originally, I wanted to find some branches to make firewood, after all, there is no water and electricity, and I can only use the most primitive method to cook. However, being reminded by you, I don't think this is a place to stay for long.
"It's already winter, so you should also prepare some winter clothes.
The terrain of the foreign-funded shopping mall is not low, and we have encountered a team of motorboats looking for supplies before, I thought, should we also go there? ”
Su Mi was naturally reluctant to hear that Qin Hao was going to the foreign-funded shopping mall, "Qin Hao, I recommend not going to the foreign-funded shopping mall." If you want to collect some things for the winter, you can go to other buildings in the community or some nearby residential buildings to find things that can be worn and used. ”
Qin Hao saw that Su Mi suggested so seriously that he should not go to the foreign-funded shopping mall, but he actually had doubts in his heart. But Su Mi always gave him a very strange feeling, as if as long as she said it, there must be her reason.
Su Mi didn't leave immediately, but went to the location of the mountain farm to the north.
Qin Hao knew the reason why Su Mi was leaving, so naturally he wouldn't stay here any longer. Start packing up what you need to take with you at home. If he still lacks something, he will look upstairs and on other floors in the community.
There were five rubber boats outside the 29 buildings, and Su Mi drove one away and didn't know where it went. Qin Hao originally wanted to go out alone to find supplies, but since the Golden Cicada incident, he found that his home was not completely safe.
So after putting on a long-sleeved shirt and a hat and mask, he went out with him. There were still four rubber boats left at the door, Qin Hao chose the one with the most oil leftover, and took him to other floors in the community every day to search for supplies.
One big and one small with two suitcases, one large and one small, searched from the north to the south, and Qin Hao couldn't let him avoid the corpses in the corridor that were either poisoned and died tragically or rotted and stinky.
What the world will become, people who are alive must see it with their own eyes, so that they can always remember the importance of survival in the days to come.
Tian Tian was a 7-year-old kid after all, and he knew what the dead were like. He has seen everything from the days of extreme heat and high temperature to the people who were poisoned by the golden cicada a few days ago.
It's just that there are not many people in the 29th building, although they are afraid, but because of Qin Hao, he showed a composure that a child should not have.
But as the buildings searched one by one, I couldn't hold back every day.
Everyone in the community died, and the people who used to praise him for his cuteness, as well as the people who played with him, all died in all kinds of horrible appearances.
He suddenly remembered his mother, and his father said that his mother had gone far away, so would she be like this?
Pulling the small box every day, he followed Qin Hao to pick up some small things that could be used, but while picking them up, he went from crying silently, to sobbing softly, and finally crying loudly.
Qin Hao had already found out that he was crying every day, but he didn't comfort him. As he picked up the available supplies from a stranger's home, he gritted his teeth and his eyes were bloodshot.
He can't use his protective wings to make him feel his warmth every day at this time, even if his heart hurts more than anyone else now.
Sumi had now reached the northern mountain, and at the foot of the mountain was the same horse farm where she had found Xiaohong.
The terrain in the mountain is very high, and the water level in the city has reached the position of ten floors, but the water level here is only below the foot of the mountain, and the dairy farm and horse farm that I have been to before have long been submerged in the water, and I am afraid that the highway next to it can no longer be seen.
Su Mi drove the rubber boat to the foot of the mountain, and after going around a whole circle, she found a relatively easy place to climb before putting the rubber boat away.
The pre-apocalyptic man-made path up the mountain has long since been washed away by the torrential rain, and all that remains is mud and large boulders that rise from time to time.
Su Mi spent a lot of effort climbing halfway up the mountain with her hands and feet, and then found a relatively flat place to sit directly on the wet ground to rest.
There are a lot of plants around here, but most of them are small saplings and plants that have just grown, and Su Mi has stepped on a lot along the way, and then thinks that as long as there are roots, they should be able to live in the space.
So all the way up the mountain to collect the flowers and plants under my feet, I don't know what kind of species, such muddy, direct rough pull will not damage too much root system, put the space to raise new rhizomes.
Even though she was sitting on the ground at the moment, her hands were constantly pulling the weeds around her.
And the more he pulls out, the more excited he becomes, and his eyes are shining.
Not for anything else, just because when she threw these unknown wildflowers and weeds into the space, the white mist on the edge actually dispersed a little bit.
Su Mi knocked her head hard.
"Su Mi, Su Mi, why are you so stupid, life has no distinction between high and low, small animals are life, and small flowers and grasses are also life!"
