Don’t panic when the apocalypse comes, stock up on food first and then guns

She also stored some fruits in her space, not too many, but still tens of thousands.

After all, every time Ah Qing absorbed excess power, he would not be able to hold back and bear fruit.

However, now that the man-eating tree had absorbed the core of the tree, she was not sure whether the fruits would change. Therefore, she gave Wang Qichuan and the others the stockpiled goods from the past.

Ah Qing has always been a sensible tree. After all, who can be like it and produce fruits as soon as the energy is full?

Speaking of energy, why was there no reaction at all after Ah Qing absorbed the tree core this time?

Jiang You found Wuweizi with some confusion.

Isn’t it said that the man-eating tree will become very powerful after absorbing the tree’s heart?

Why is there no movement at all?

As a result, Wuweizi investigated for a long time and found that this man-eating tree was simply lazy and didn't want to move.

Jiang You observed for another two days, and then one early morning.

The man-eating tree finally bloomed its first dark red flower in the morning light.

There is only one flower, blooming at the highest point of the tree canopy, facing the sun.

Jiang You quickly closed her eyes to feel it, and the veins of the man-eating tree gradually became clear in her mind. She clearly saw that under the soil, the roots of the man-eating tree almost covered the entire top of Long Mountain.

Some roots even penetrate into the cracks in the rocks.

Among them, there was a particularly long root that penetrated the rock and slowly extended to the cave below the mountain temple.

Jiang You walked to the cave below the mountain temple. This place was originally the Black Flame Prison set up for Brother Jiu Yue. After he left, the Black Flame Heart of this place was recovered by Jiang You, and the remaining black flames gradually seeped into the stone and disappeared.

At this time, glowing mosses grew sporadically in the cave corridors and cracks in the stone walls.

At the top of the huge cave, an inconspicuous red tree root showed a little bit from the cracks in the rock.

Although Brother Jiu Yue has left, the aura of the abyss still lingers in this place.

In addition, the entrance to the abyss is in the Black Moon Village, not far from here. By chance, this cave has grown many things that are similar to the caves in the September Illusion.

The tree root that drilled into the cave gave Jiang You a different feeling from the other tree roots, which is why she came here specifically to take a look.

There is a very rich energy gathering point above the roots of this tree.

She suspected that this was the heart of the man-eating tree.

Because it absorbed the energy from the tree heart, the man-eating tree also began to grow tree heart.

During this period, the man-eating tree's appearance did not change at all because all the energy it absorbed was used to grow the tree heart.

The black rain had been falling intermittently for a long time.

Sea levels and inland lake levels are rising.

Floods occurred in many places.

It is not autumn yet, but the mountains are already turning yellow.

It is not the dazzling golden color of autumn, but the withered, lifeless yellow.

This is true even for the fiery red maple forests in autumn.

The black river flows through the withered forest. The entire Shiwan Mountains is like a terminally ill patient, with cancer occurring from the inside out.

Almost half of the plants on the ground have died, and the mutated animals do not have enough food to eat, so they keep approaching human settlements.

There are reports that bases of all sizes are being besieged by waves of beasts.

Without food, the mutant beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains fought fiercely for food.

Even hunting became more dangerous for the villagers.

Not to mention outside.

The food reserves in some bases with large populations are decreasing rapidly.

While many places were besieged by mutated beasts, there were also endless internal conflicts.

Many bases have difficulty continuing to supply even the free black flour cakes, and can only use black beetles from the farms, cook them and sell them directly.

No one wants to sell black beetles.

But the black beetle is the last line of defense. Although it tastes bad and smells bad, it can ensure that people will not starve to death.

Once the supply of black beetles stops, the ordinary survivors will go crazy with hunger, and no one knows how big a chaos will break out.

Time is of the essence.

The three major bases have accelerated their pace.

People from the Taoist and Buddhist sects lined up to take the fruits of the man-eating tree to increase their chances of survival.

Wear No. 9 City's specially made close-fitting protective clothing inside for added protection.

That day.

It starts when it is about to darken, the sun has not set yet, the moon has already appeared, and the sun and the moon are fixed in the same sky.

The seventy-two spirit gathering arrays and the fiery clouds in the sky lit up together.

Seen from above, the seventy-two formations looked like seventy-two scarlet rings, with the Soul Locking Formation as the link, interconnected to form a huge chain that firmly locked the entrance to the abyss in the middle.

The air at the entrance of the abyss was visibly distorted.

Huge amounts of energy were absorbed by the spirit gathering array and leaked out madly.

Jiang You stood on the top of Long Mountain and clearly saw the grass under his feet changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sharp teeth, rabbit-tail-like hair, densely packed barbs, the grassland was rapidly distorted by the baptism of the vast abyss.

Soon, a weed under her feet grew to knee height.

Under the slightly drooping grass leaves, there was a constantly beating stomach. A frog jumped up from the ground, and pustules kept rolling on its skin in the air. Then one of the leaves of the wild grass flew past quickly.

"Ah-"

The mutated frog was rolled into the stomach of the weeds before it even had a chance to land.

The leaves of the wild grass looked like climbing vines. The sun quietly climbed up Jiang You's calves.

Da Zhuang, who was napping nearby, raised his paw lazily and stepped down.

"Come on..."

The disgusting stomach bread and the undigested frog were crushed together.

A deep plum blossom mark was left on the grass.

"Meow--" Da Zhuang stood up and dug the ground with his front paws impatiently. His ferocious cat face was wrinkled and a huge scar spanned his entire face, making the already ferocious Da Zhuang look even more vicious.

Jiang You noticed that as the spirit gathering array was activated, all the hair on Da Zhuang's body stood up like steel needles.

She patted Dazhuang's head soothingly and said, "Go play in the mountains. You don't have to accompany me."

Da Zhuang gave her a blank look and didn't leave.

But a low growl came out of its throat uncontrollably, and the cat seemed restless.

Fairy board!

Damn, this smells amazing!

Too Bashi old!

Its nostrils contracted as it breathed in air uncontrollably, but the faster its breathing became, the more uncomfortable its body felt.

itch!

It is different from the itching on the surface of the skin, it is the kind of itching from the inside out.

It felt like ants were crawling on my bones, and I felt itchy and numb from the inside out. Even if I scratched with my claws, it was like scratching an itch through a shoe. I couldn't scratch the itchy spot at all.

"Meow-"

Da Zhuang felt pain and happiness at the same time. He rolled around on the grass to relieve the feeling.

After the mutation, the sharp and hard grass leaves are just right for it now.

Deep in the Shiwan Mountains, the sounds of beasts could be heard one after another.

Looking at it from a distance, this change was like a sound wave, spreading out in circles with the entrance to the abyss as the center.

Jiang You frowned.

The spirit gathering formation is activated, and the battle for vitality between the ground and the abyss has begun.
