8 Steal a bite
At this time, it was the height of summer, and the trees growing in the dilapidated residential area were listless, and the leaves that should have been emerald green were wilting and rolling, and even the cicadas that used to shout "Zi'er Wow" and "Zi'er Wow" were so hot that they couldn't make a sound.
The neighborhood was silent, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.
Since the last test was interrupted by an emergency, the remaining residents who had not yet been tested were taken away by the investigation bureau, saying that they were going to be tested for a second time.
Residents who have already been tested are likewise taken away for routine interviews and confidentiality.
However, Bai Yu is an exception.
He has been identified as the awakened person on the plant side, and with Lin Mo next to him, he can return to his rental house after a simple registration.
In the past, the chess and card room that always sounded the sound of mahjong was dark, and there was no sound of beating children every day upstairs, and the aroma of the meal did not come when it came to the meal.
The whole building was frighteningly quiet.
But Bai Yu likes this kind of quietness.
It reminded him of the occasional time when no player came over.
This is also the case in the entire dungeon [Botanical Paradise].
Quiet, dead silence, darkness, only the sound of his leaves rubbing against each other in the wind.
When I'm tired, I fall asleep, and when I'm interested, I flip through the mission records and player records I wrote, and recall the 'happy' times with the players.
Or watch the sunflowers, yueji, and aloe vera and a few of them play around.
I don't know what happened to them now......
The affection between the plants is very light, but after all, they are colleagues who have been friendly for hundreds of years, and I hope they can survive the collapse of space.
Bai Yu lowered his eyes, retracted his thoughts that had diverged from the past, and focused on a section of bandage that had been pulled out of his coat pocket.
This was secretly taken out of the paper basket when Chu Zehuai was talking to Lin Mo.
It's just a pity that the time for them to talk was too short, and he only had time to take out one, and he was forcibly dragged out of the office by Lin Mo.
Bai Yu stretched out his hand, and the dark green vines tightly wrapped the bloodstained bandage.
Round and round, leaving no trace of white on the outside.
After a few moments, the vine loosened and slowly shrunk back to the shape of a normal human finger, and the bandage returned to its white appearance, leaving not a trace of blood.
"It's so sweet."
Bai Yu pressed the tip of his tongue against his lower teeth, reminiscing about the taste just now.
Sure enough, as he imagined, the top ingredients deserved to be the top ingredients.
Even the blood that had become dry and cold still made him feel that it was the best taste in the world, and the energy contained in it should not be underestimated, worthy of all the pollutants he had eaten before.
Bai Yu looked down at his right hand.
Moistened by the energy, his hands were no longer as pale and thin as they had been at the beginning, but had become a beautiful and healthy look.
The sunlight passed through the fingertips, and the five white and slender fingers slowly turned into five green vines that were constantly shaking.
A moment later, five vines intertwined, and together with the palms and backs of their hands, they turned into a huge dark green vine.
The vines are tough and cold on the outside, covered with hook-like white translucent barbs, which have a cold glow in the sunlight, making them look cold and murderous.
Bai Yu admired his prototype for a moment and withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
Just a small amount of dried blood, the energy in it would allow him to vegetize his entire right hand.
If only you could be by your side often, you might be able to get new energy every day.
It would be better if you could eat the other party whole, and it is estimated that you can return to your peak state directly.
It's a pity that this can only be a luxury now.
Bai Yu thought so, and then took out a pen and a notebook from the drawer.
He flipped the notebook open and spread it flat on the table.
On the left side of the notebook is written "Don't join, stay free".
On the right side of the notebook is written "Join the Special Events Investigation Bureau".
The black nib of the pen flowed across the paper, leaving strings of handwriting.
Left:
You don't have to be forced to go anywhere, you can eat whatever you want.
Right:
You can get in touch with stronger and more pollutants, you can get close to the warehouse and then the warehouse, you can be with top ingredients, and you can plan to eat each other in the future.
Bai Yu looked at the paper on the left, and then drew a circle on the last sentence of the paper on the right.
[Are you planning to join the Special Events Bureau? Don't look for energy everywhere? γ
The system looked at the other party's series of actions, and then looked at what was written on the paper, and instantly understood the other party's intentions.
[Well, I thought about it, let's find it ourselves, in fact, it's better to let them help us find it, after all, they are also looking for pollutants and aberrants, we follow them, we can pick up leaks.] γ
Bai Yu tapped the paper with the tip of his pen and said.
And so many people, the efficiency of finding pollutants must be higher than the two of them.
When swallowing contaminants, you need to be careful not to be discovered by others.
[It makes sense, but I always feel that this is not the most important reason why you changed your mind, you actually want to eat that person.] I was suddenly a little curious, if you had to choose, would you choose a low-grade contaminant with a small risk and a large quantity, or would you choose a top-quality ingredient with a large risk and only one quantity? γ
Faced with the system's curious inquiry, Bai Yu just turned the pen in his hand, and said naturally with his cheeks:
[Young seedlings will make choices, and mature plants will of course choose both.] γ

Bai Yu's first weekend in this world was spent like this.
After the weekend, even if it is a plant disguised as the Awakened, it still has to go to Qinghe University on the morning of last Monday.
As the original owner of the volume king, he has finished everything in his studies, designed, modeled, typeset, and even completed his portfolio, but he doesn't need Bai Yu to put much effort into his studies.
There were only two water lessons left on his schedule.
According to the fragments of memory left by this body, Bai Yu walked through the sunlight on the campus in the early morning, slowly came to the classroom of the professional building, and according to the usual habit of the original owner, he skipped the empty rows of seats in the classroom and sat in the corner of the last row against the wall.
In the more than ten minutes after the class bell rang, the students in the class came in one after another, and they all chose a position that was far away from the podium.
Zhou Yi looked left and right at the door, and after discovering his friend, he ran over and sat next to him in two or three steps, and then began to doze off like most of his classmates.
The teacher doesn't care, and when he opens his PPT, he just looks at it.
Compared with the classmates who have begun to play with their mobile phones and sleep, Bai Yu, who listens carefully, looks particularly prominent.
It's not that he's interested in this course or plans to be a top student, it's just that he wants to experience what it's like to be a male college student in class.
Fragments of memory are not a substitute for personal experience.
Plants that have never been human want to feel the classroom atmosphere that belongs to human beings, and this kind of human activity is quite novel to plants.
It's just that when he wants to listen to the lecture seriously, there is always a special aroma that drills into his nose.
Like the aroma of food and the aroma of jasmine mixed together.
And as time goes by, the aroma becomes lighter and lighter.
In this case, either the contaminant is getting farther and farther away from him, or someone in the classroom has been exposed to the contaminant in a short period of time, or the corpse of the contaminant is slowly decomposing and dissolving, or the system is sucking the energy before he does.
Bai Yu looked around quietly, and at the same time moved the tip of his nose, looking for the source of the mixed aroma in the classroom.
No classmates left, and there was no smell of polluting corpses rotting.
Luckily, the aroma was a little lighter, but it was still noticeable in the classroom, which was not crowded with many people.
He quickly locked onto a girl sitting in front of him on his right.
Long black hair, white skin, wearing a very fashionable jet-black skirt, and a pair of boots underneath.
Then he felt that he was poked in the arm by Zhou Yi, who was sitting on the side, and his friend's whispered teasing voice came:
"Bai Yu, you have been staring at the goddess Huang Rui of our class just now, what's the matter, the love has just opened?"
Bai Yu retracted his gaze: "It's not." β
"It's okay to lie to your buddy, don't lie to yourself, I see that your eyes are almost sticky to other people's bodies."
Zhou Yi poked his arm again and let out a long sigh,
"But I advise you to change someone to like it, the goddess is too cold, every time I get out of class, I disappear, I can't find anyone if I want someone to ask for a v, many boys in our class have tried, everyone has returned, and none of them have made progress."
β...... I really don't. β
Just like Zhou Yi said, after the class bell rang, the other party immediately took the bag and left, not staying for a moment.
Bai Yu sniffed the aroma that was so shallow that he couldn't smell it, frowned, and didn't care about his friend who looked 'I don't believe it, your explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth', so he quickly got up and followed the other party away.
He still cares more about the aroma on the other party's body.
Zhou Yi, who was left in the classroom, looked at his departing back and pouted: "Good boy, I still said that I didn't like it, so anxious." β
Really, it's not an unspeakable thing to like a goddess, what's embarrassing to admit, this guy is just too shy.

In the empty campus, a black figure quickly shuttled through the path, looking around vigilantly from time to time, and only after making sure that there was no one around, did he continue to walk forward quickly.
And in the blind spot behind her, which she couldn't see, there was a white figure hiding behind her.
Bai Yu can now be sure that this girl will definitely not be a pollutant, or even some strange and suspicious person.
The scent on her body has been completely taken away by the wind, and in his perception, this is an ordinary female college student, and even the ability to reverse tracking looks clumsy and lame.
Compared with the fragrance emitted by the other party itself magically dissipated in the wind, Bai Yu was more inclined to the fact that the other party did not know where he had come into contact with pollutants, and the time was not short, so he was contaminated with a trace of pollutants.
It's like the bank card that Chu Zehuai gave him.
Bai Yu originally wanted to go back directly, he had no interest in non-food, but Huang Rui's vigilant appearance successfully aroused his curiosity.
So he hid out of the other party's field of vision and followed the other party all the time.
Until she stopped in front of a school building.
Bai Yu looked up and saw that it was the laboratory building of the medical school of Qinghe University.
In the golden sunlight, several large golden characters on the upper floor shone brightly.
Huang Rui sneaked into the laboratory building, and a moment later, she walked up with a silver box in her arms.
She looked around and saw that no one was noticing, so she ran to the playground with the box in her arms and got out of a broken railing.
[System, can you detect what's inside that box?] γ
Bai Yu, who was following behind, thought about it for a while, and only remembered what experimental materials were on the box.
[I can only roughly feel that it is a pile of meat.] The system answers.
Bai Yu blinked, could it be that the other party was so poor that he stole experimental materials to eat?
No, normal humans don't steal experimental materials to eat, and if they do, they have to go to the cafeteria to steal.
Soon, this mystery was solved.
In a remote warehouse in Hebai District, Qinghe City.
This is a logistics warehouse, but the warehouse that should be full of express delivery is now hung with meat.
Thigh meat, calf meat, arm meat, arm meat, a pair of hands and feet, and hanging heads.
The whole warehouse is not like a warehouse, but like a slaughterhouse.
Bai Yu cautiously hid by the door, listening intently to the conversation inside.
"Coming so soon this time?" An unfamiliar, rugged male voice sounded.
"Last weekend, the whole city was tested, and many students didn't come today, so the process went smoothly."
Huang Rui's voice sounded, followed by a "click" sound of opening the box,
"Here, what you want, that's all I have, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
"Is that all there is to it? My little darling doesn't have enough to eat, and you know the consequences of not having enough to eatβ"
The man's voice continued to sound, mixed with the sound of some kind of large beast chirping.
"That adult, please wait a little longer, I only tricked the key to a laboratory from the teacher this time, there are many laboratories in the university, I ........"
Huang Rui's anxious voice came, with obvious panic and fear inside.
Before she could finish her sentence, the snort of some beast in the warehouse was even more pronounced, and there was a mania in it.
In addition to the sound of chirping, there is also the sound of limbs constantly rubbing against the ground.
The next moment, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out of the gate, and the door instantly turned into a pile of rotten iron.
It was a pig pollutant that was far more violent than a normal domestic pig, with a disgusting smell of blood.
The man's rough voice came from the door:
"I'll just tell you why my little baby is so manic, it turns out that there is a little bug hidden here."
Bai Yu couldn't help pursing his lips.
Tut.
was discovered.
