Apocalyptic waste

Li Muran and the others got out of the car, and Huang Hai and the others followed suit. They couldn't just stay in the car and watch other people eat.Only the sick ghost still sat there, unaffected in the slightest.

Long Xia and the others were standing outside to observe the situation of the front road blocked by the dense forest, and some supernatural beings were scattered around to take charge of vigilance.Seeing Li Muran and others coming down, they only glanced over here and stopped paying attention.Li Muran saw the familiar Xiao Sheng and a few people who had been in the car with him, but he did not see Song Yan and his closest bodyguard, Yun Ze.

Xiao Sheng nodded slightly at Li Muran from afar, but did not come over.The supernatural beings are also preparing to eat, but what they eat is military canned food. Although there is no fire, it is directly heated by the fire department supernatural power.It's fast and convenient, and it's hard not to be envious.

"It smells so good. I can smell the smell of meat and spinach..." Wu Ziran's drooling voice sounded in my ears. Fortunately, the little girl knew to keep her voice down. Otherwise, no matter how thick-skinned Li Muran was, he might also I'm a little embarrassed.

"Don't talk about it, it's not ashamed to lose face." Li Yuanzhuo turned his dirty face away, wanting to pretend that he didn't know the girl beside him.

"It's really delicious. I'm not wrong. There seems to be chicken... I'm so hungry. If only I could eat Coca-Cola chicken wings again on my birthday." Wu Ziran's thoughts diverged very much, completely Did not receive Li Yuanzhuo's disgust.

"I've had Coke before, it's delicious." Hearing the word Coke, Zhang Ruiyang, who was holding Li Muran's hand and looking at the dense forest of mutated plants in a daze, suddenly reacted.The child remembered the bottle of Coke that his father brought back when he was in Wangyang Town. He only drank a little at a time, and after drinking it for a long time, he stopped sticking his tongue, but it still tasted good.

"Yes, I also think it's delicious, but my mother won't let me drink it, saying that children's teeth will be broken if they drink too much Coke, but my mother said that I can eat Coke chicken wings occasionally." Report complaints immediately.

"I've never eaten Coca-Cola Chicken Wings, are they delicious?" Zhang Ruiyang shook his head and asked, with yearning in his eyes.

"It's delicious. My mother can make it, and my mother can make a lot of delicious things." Wu Ziran couldn't help showing off, just like when he was in school, wishing he could directly pull people to his home and make her think The most delicious things that mother made were placed in front of each other.

Zhang Ruiyang was confused for a while, and then said dully: "I don't have a mother." To him, a mother is just a symbol, which is equivalent to not having one.Zhang Yi's mother was not that generous, and she helped to speak well of a woman who abandoned their father and son when her son was in the most difficult time. It would be good if she could not scold her in front of the child.She is a mother, and she never thought of stopping Yang Yang from meeting his mother. Unfortunately, Yang Yang's mother never came back. Full of yearning but finally hurt by reality, it is better not to say anything.Fortunately, the child is still young and has never felt the presence of his mother, so when he said this, the meaning was very simple, and he didn't feel sad at all.

"How come, everyone has a mother..." Wu Ziran said in surprise, then shook his head in denial, but was stopped by Fu Dan.

"Shut up, Ziran!" Fu Dan was a little angry, was she stupid?Who still has parents now?

Wu Ziran felt that Fu Dan was getting more and more fierce, but she was not annoyed, she just pouted, and then grudgingly said "oh", and she really calmed down.Zhang Ruiyang looked at this and then that in bewilderment. He didn't understand why he couldn't speak, but he still closed his mouth.

The three Huang Hai, who were originally sitting stiffly while moving their hands and feet while listening to the children's children's words, couldn't help showing a miserable look when they heard this. From the apocalypse to the present, there is only one left, and no one has ever experienced a sad thing.Those who have no father, no mother, no wife, no children, and no brothers, sisters, friends, relatives are a minority after all, but only a few thousand people survive in a city of tens of millions, and even some places do not even reach this number. It is considered lucky to have two survivors in a family.For many more, however, even that is a luxury.There have been times when I was heartbroken, but later, under the torment of life in times of hardship and fear, it is normal to talk about it, and I just feel that death may not be less enjoyable than living.

"There are ground bamboos over there." Li Yuanzhuo, who had long separated himself from Wu Ziran, suddenly pointed not far away.

Dizhu is a kind of mutated rattan plant, which looks like a squashed bamboo, with whiskers growing on the joint stems and clinging to the ground, so it is called Dizhu.The main root of Dizhu is thicker than an adult's arm and contains a lot of starch. Although it tastes bitter, it is better than other edible mutant plants known to humans. At least it is not so difficult to swallow. Among the survivors outside the city, it is very popular.It's just that although the ground bamboo doesn't take the initiative to attack people, it still has the ferocity of a mutated plant. Once a creature intends to cause harm to it, it will be strongly counterattacked.The fibrous roots on its stems will break away from the soil, and the flat bamboo-shaped vines will split into several at the same time, like snakes and whips, quick and sensitive when attacking, and the bamboo-shaped leaves will be like the mouthparts of a leech, once touched When it sees the attacked object, it will cling to it until the attacked object is entangled and divided into several pieces by the split thin stems.

At the beginning, the survivors suffered a lot from it, and the number of lives filled in it was unknown, and it was only later that they gradually found a way to deal with it.But for unawakened ordinary people, there is no [-]% safety after all.After all, there are other mutated plants around the ground bamboo. While trying to get the roots of the ground bamboo, they must also face attacks from the surrounding area at any time.But in the eyes of the supernatural beings, they only need to throw a ball of fire from a distance to destroy it, and it doesn't take much effort at all.From this aspect, the gap between supernatural beings and ordinary people is gradually highlighted.

In the direction that Li Yuanzhuo pointed, one could see a scorched area, which was obviously emptied out with flames by the supernatural beings who opened the way before.The place cleared out by the supernatural person is very large, including a large stone, which can block people from solving physical problems, but basically no one goes there.Eat less, drink less, and the weather is cold, so where does so much waste come from?

And on the edge of the scorched earth, you can still see a section of scorched ground bamboo, which has lost its vitality.Since there is ground bamboo, there must be ground bamboo roots.Li Yuanzhuo obviously also knew that they had run out of food, so he paid special attention to this.

Li Muran glanced at some of the supernatural beings who were eating and some were still discussing issues, and felt that it might take a while before they left, so he nodded decisively and said, "Go, go dig." Who knows what will happen at night, first It's better to get something to eat and put it away. I'm flustered when I don't have food.

"Dig what?" Huang Hai and the three were a little confused. Although they belonged to the lowest level in the base, they were adult men after all, and they were not lazy. They could hand in a thousand contribution points every month. Food and clothing do not need to rely on the belly of mutant plants, so their understanding of food is far behind that of survivors outside the city.

Li Muran knew that this matter could not be concealed from others, nor could it be concealed from others, so he told them briefly.The three of Huang Hai were refreshed when they heard it. They already knew that many mutated plants could be eaten in the base, but they didn't need them before, so they didn't ask much. They probably waited for more people to eat them cautiously before trying them again. Thoughts, and now they know how important it is for them to know this information in their current situation.They are already in a weak position in terms of ability, so they can only make up for it in other ways, and the more they know about the creatures of the last days, the better it will be for them.

No one expected that this seemingly insignificant episode would become the cause of the formation of the future Yilin people, a mysterious race full of unawakened people.While Li Muran was talking to the three of them, Fu Dan had already run over to dig with a few small ones.They are very proficient at doing this, after all, they have lived by this before.Naturally, Huang Hai and the others couldn't lag behind. Following the children's method of identifying the location of the main root of the ground bamboo from a piece of scorched soil, they picked up the knife in their hand and dug up the hardened ground.

Compared with the three of Fu Dan, Huang Hai and others who did not have digging tools at hand seemed much more clumsy.In the past, we had to be alert to the dangers that may appear at any time, which directly led to the rapid increase of the children's collection and excavation speed. Therefore, in just two or three minutes, they worked together to dig out two large sections of dark brown thick ground bamboo. Gen, but the Huang Hai trio dug out a small part to see that the supernatural beings were already packing up and greeting people to get into the car and were about to leave. They were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads in such a cold weather.The children already regarded them as their own, and hurried forward to help when they saw this. You and I dug out the rest in two or three strokes.

"Sister Muran, look." Fu Dan held three light green crystal nuclei in his hand and handed them to Li Muran, with a hesitant look on his face.All along, whoever kills the zombie gets the crystal nucleus, and it is the same for mutant creatures. The crystal nucleus should not belong to them.Li Muran also held four ground bamboo crystal cores in her hands. She and Yang Yang dug four of them. Of course, it was Dudu who did the most work. The speed of that guy digging the soil was unmatched by anyone else.Surprisingly, it was not interested in the dead mutated plant nuclei, otherwise Li Muran wouldn't be in it.

"Ah Dan, send it to Brother Xiao." Li Muran put the crystal nucleus in his hand into Fu Dan's hand, thought for a while, and then took out three pieces from the ground bamboo root in front of him for him and Li Yuanzhuo to hug, "Send this one too." Although they dug it, but after all, they killed the ground bamboo first, and they couldn't pretend not to know if others didn't tell them.

Fu Dan responded, hugged the bamboo root, took the crystal nucleus and ran towards Xiao Sheng with Li Yuanzhuo.Li Muran and Huang Hai packed up the remaining four sticks, cut them into small pieces and put them in the backpack, otherwise they would take up too much space, it would be inconvenient to carry, and they would be easily overwhelmed by the corpse-baiting teams in the car.The bamboo roots here are thick, each weighing more than ten catties, four are enough for them to eat several meals.Li Muran couldn't help but relax a little from his heavy heart because of lack of food.

"Can this be eaten raw?" Yu Jianjun asked curiously.

"Try it, it's not poisonous." Li Muran cut off a piece with a knife and handed it to Yu Jianjun, saying.

Yu Jianjun took it and stuffed it into his mouth regardless of the mud stains on it, but soon his expression became weird.Endured and endured, and finally forced himself to swallow it.Nowadays, no one is willing to waste food, no matter how unpalatable it is, they can't spit it out.Seeing his reaction, Huang Hai and He Gui couldn't help showing hesitant expressions.

Seeing that he didn't doubt his words at all, Li Muran smiled, and said: "It's not that the raw ones are inedible, but they are a bit bitter. Many mutated plants have this characteristic. If they are cooked or roasted, It will be much better."

"Where is it bitter! You told me earlier." Yu Jianjun had a bitter face.The little guys all giggled, you know they have all gone through this kind of experience, and now seeing Yu Jianjun suddenly has a sense of intimacy in sharing weal and woe.

Huang Hai had other ideas, and he also asked Li Muran for two pieces. He put one piece into his mouth and chewed slowly, and passed the other piece to He Gui: "Taste it, remember the taste." One day, even if they don’t finish eating, it will go bad after a long time, and if they haven’t cultivated food that can grow in the soil of the end of the world, they may really have to rely on eating mutant plants for a living, so the sooner they get familiar with them The taste the better.

Wu Ziran and Zhang Ruiyang were a little stunned when they saw this, because they didn't understand why the other party wanted to taste it when they knew it was unpalatable.

"Uncle, are you hungry?" Zhang Ruiyang couldn't help asking, with sympathy in his eyes, and then stretched out his little hands to feel in his clothes and trousers pockets, and after a long time he picked out a damp biscuit.After thinking about it, he divided the biscuit into two halves, and handed half to Huang Hai, "Here, uncle, you can eat."

Huang Hai was slightly startled, moved in his heart, but teased: "Why don't you give us a piece, there are three of us?"

He is tall, even if he is bent over, Zhang Ruiyang still has to look up to meet him.Hearing this, the little guy didn't feel embarrassed at all, but explained very seriously: "I only have one piece, so I can't give it all to you. My aunt, my brother and sister have nothing to eat." Speaking of this, he Dazed for a moment, he turned his head and glanced at the bus: "There is still a sick uncle, it's gone..." A biscuit was divided into eight to nine parts, no matter how young he knew, it was not enough, and his expression suddenly became helpless. Gathering up, he couldn't help but look at Li Muran helplessly.

Li Muran hadn't spoken yet, He Gui thought the little guy was very funny, and teased, "You can give your share to Uncle Sick."

Zhang Ruiyang's face became tangled, he felt that he still wanted to eat biscuits, but the sick ghost uncle helped him, took him to find the director's uncle, and then saved his aunt and brother Ah Dan, so he had to give it to the sick ghost uncle.

"Yangyang, you saved the biscuits again!" At this moment, Wu Ziran suddenly pointed at Yangyang's palm and criticized loudly. "You eat so little every time, no wonder you can't grow taller."

Zhang Ruiyang was so scolded that he trembled, the biscuit almost fell to the ground, he hurriedly grabbed it, and then stuffed it into Huang Hai's hand: "A biscuit doesn't grow very high." Shedi said to Huang Hai: "Then I'll give mine to the sick uncle, I'll eat bamboo roots." When he said the last sentence, probably thinking of the unpalatable feeling, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth.

"You still talk!" Wu Ziran heard his words, and couldn't help but yelled.

Zhang Ruiyang pouted and stopped talking.It's not that he was afraid of Wu Ziran, he just remembered that grandma said that boys should yield to girls.

After such a result, although the three of Huang Hai were a little moved and felt that this child was so good-looking, they did not approve of this approach, because this is the end of the world, and humility is a virtue before the end of the world, but now Means starvation and death.

"Thank you Yangyang, uncles are not hungry, you keep the biscuits for yourself." Huang Hai took Yang Yang's little hand, put back half of the already softened biscuit, and then taught him earnestly: "Remember, in the future you You have to be full before you can help others, don’t give up your food to others, or you will starve to death, and you will never see your father again.”

Li Muran smiled slightly, touched Zhang Ruiyang's small head, but did not speak.After getting along for so long, she knows that the child is kind, but it's not that he doesn't have his own bottom line.Sure enough, Zhang Ruiyang raised his head and asked suspiciously: "But there are bamboo roots, how could you starve to death?"

Huang Hai was stunned, then suddenly stretched out his hand to wipe his face, turned his head and didn't speak.It was only then that he remembered that before digging the ground bamboo roots, the child didn't even intend to take out the biscuits at all.It turned out that the child was able to back down on this matter because he knew there were other things to eat, and he was worried and worried about it here. As a result, the doll only gave in a small step in terms of taste.Although for a child, this is already very remarkable, but... this is really... a child taught by someone!
