Apocalyptic waste

The convoy drove in the direction of Changshi, intending to turn northwest after reaching Changshi.The original eight cars had now increased to fourteen.The last additions were three buses, two van trucks, and an oil tanker.Very arrogant, but if you have the strength, arrogance can deter people with bad intentions.

The annihilation of the entire city, the existence of half-humans, and the growth of the dark soul wood have sealed up Zafeng City almost pristinely.More than one year is not enough to rot and destroy most of the food and various daily necessities, not to mention the extreme cold for more than half a year.Therefore, the abundance of supplies here is enough to make the survivors at the lower levels of the bases salivate.

However, after the dark soul wood is removed, it may be difficult to be disturbed by people here, even if half of them are still there.Especially when the urban materials around the various human settlements have been looted, I believe that the search tentacles of the survivors will soon extend.

Therefore, Zhang Yi and the others easily collected enough supplies for two cargo trucks, and got an oil tank truck at the oil depot. By the way, they also sent Mr. Lin enough food, coal, and other daily necessities for three years, as well as some in his Books found under pointers.Although this was not a piece of cake for them, it was just a matter of spending more time cleaning up the zombies and mutated creatures in the building, as well as collecting things, and the rest was done by Li Muran, who had supernatural powers.

To do this, one is out of respect for the elderly, and the other is to do my best.They are running around, they are looking for a way out, too many things make them unable to calm down and do this kind of thing that is very far away for most people.History, civilization, inheritance, etc., are like a big but empty slogan, far less important than survival.But they know that as long as human beings can continue to reproduce, the importance of these things will soon be highlighted, 20 years, 50 years, 100 years... When their generation dies, will the new people return to the wild and ignorant? Or sum up the history of the predecessors, combine the current environment, and rebuild the glory of civilization, all in the preservation and inheritance of past knowledge.

Inheritance, such a heavy topic that has been subtly infiltrated into human flesh and blood during the long peace, has been almost forgotten by everyone in the cruel environment of the last days. Only the old man still wants to rely on his weak strength and old body to work hard to complete it.

So they are respected, ashamed, but powerless, and can only hope that when they find a stable place and free their hands, they still have the opportunity to do this.

On the bus, Zhang Yi was looking down at the old man's notes on mutant creatures.Several days had passed since he got the notebook, and this was the first time he had time to read it carefully.

They bid farewell to Mr. Lin that day, and they were already mentally prepared to fight all the way out. They didn't expect Li Muran's supernatural power to be greatly improved after absorbing the crystal nucleus. Originally, he could take six people at a time. Bringing 15 people is [-] times the original number; the number of uses has also increased from ten times to eighteen times. Although the increase is less than the increase in the number of people, it is already very satisfactory; the crossing distance has also increased. After [-] kilometers, it depends on the number of people you bring. The more people you bring, the shorter the distance. If she is alone, the distance can reach up to [-] kilometers.

As a result, all of them were taken out of the city in one morning.

They felt that her ability was really useful, and with the sudden addition of more than 100 people, it was impossible to leave these people there, so they delayed for a few more days to collect supplies, find suitable vehicles, and add They were also worried about where to find fuel supplies, so they simply got an oil tanker.Thanks to Li Muran's supernatural ability, otherwise, even if he is as strong as Nanshao Song Yan, who can walk around the city, he will definitely not be able to make so many things, let alone let them choose convenient and usable vehicles at will.

Without the interference of the Dark Soul Wood, those half-humans may also be adapting to the new environment, and they have never encountered them once, which made their actions much smoother.Of course, considering the special hobbies of half-humans, they will all leave the city before dark.

"This...I know this." Zhang Ruiyang's small head suddenly poked over from the side, pointing at the plants painted on that page, almost blocking Zhang Yi's entire line of sight.

Zhang Yi tilted his head slightly, and read the words on it to the children.

"Snake vine, a vine-shaped variant plant, without leaves, thick as an adult's arm, two to 25 meters long, one multi-vine, with rough skin like gravel, earthy brown, no pattern. It has needle-shaped thorns, hollow, and retractable Sex, usually hidden in the vine body, once the prey is captured, it will stretch out, plunge into the prey, inject paralyzing venom, and then suck the flesh and blood."

"Mode of reproduction: The limit length of Hydraliskra vine is 25 meters. Once it reaches the limit, it will automatically shed its two-meter-long mother bud and grow on the spot to become a new Hydraliskra vine. The mother vine is accumulating sufficient energy Afterwards, new branch vines will grow from the roots (the author has encountered a twelve-vine Hydralisk vine and avoided it.)”

"This plant is good at concealment, mostly hidden in the soil, rotten leaves dropped by other mutant plants and collapsed buildings, it will actively attack people and mutant beasts, the attack methods are mainly vine nets, entanglement, and venom paralysis, attacking concealment Agile, hard to guard against."

"Weaknesses: [-]. I am afraid of fire, and the power flame can restrain it (the author has fire powers, other powers have not been tried, to be added); [-], the mother bud is weak within an hour of falling off, and you can take advantage of it at this time. The mother vine will have a period of half an hour of fatigue after the mother bud falls off, and will not actively attack creatures that intrude into its territory. Third, the animal fur and human clothes scattered around the hydra snake vine have dense holes all over it , or it can be judged the existence of Hydraliper Vine (this point cannot rule out other mutant plants with the same attack method)."

"The outer skin of the thorny snake vine is hard and tough, and can be peeled off. There is a spongy substance under the skin, which is highly poisonous. Peel off the skin of the vine, and burn it with a supernatural fire to produce a dark red powder. It is non-toxic and has a very light scent of cooked chestnut. Sticky, edible..."

As he read, Zhang Yi gradually lost his voice. He unconsciously focused on reading the above content, forgetting his son who was following him word by word, and didn't notice that there were still some small conversations. The car was quiet.Everyone is waiting for him to continue reading.

In fact, there is nothing more to say in the following, but it is important to point out that the whole Hydralisk Vine plant cannot be burned. Although the burned powder tastes more fragrant, like chestnut stew, it is poisonous. A small amount can cause difficulty in breathing, blurred vision, headache and vomiting.As for how to verify the toxicity, it is not mentioned in the notebook, but anyone can imagine that an old man, an old man who is a history major, researching such detailed information alone, the hardships and dangers can be imagined.

Zhang Yi read back silently with full of reverence, so Zhang Ruiyang, who was lying on his lap and reciting word by word, couldn't keep up, and the child was not angry, he put his little head in his father's arms, and then turned his head He ran away, squeezed into Ge Ayi's row, and went to play with his friends.

Seeing this, the others didn't want to disturb him, they turned their attention away and started talking to the people around them again.It's just that everyone was a little excited, secretly thinking about how to borrow the notebook to take a look.If the above record is true, then they don't have to worry about the source of food in the future. After all, mutant plants are everywhere and grow extremely fast.If it is cultivated, it will definitely not be as difficult as ordinary crops.

The people in this car were basically people from Ronghe's side. Zhang Yi and a few people gave up the RV to the injured, the elderly and the weak.Grandfather and Jian Jian were both on top, but Ge Ayi, who had been staring at the old and the young all the time, did not follow this time, but took the big guest with everyone.

Nan Shao, who was sitting side by side with Zhang Yi by the window, glanced around the car boredly, and stopped at Nan Wei, who was sitting in the front two rows with his head down, as if he only noticed that his younger brother was there.But he can't be blamed. In the past few days after the two sides met, everyone was busy leaving Zafon City to collect supplies. No one thought of mentioning this, and Nan Wei deliberately avoided it. It was normal that he didn't find out.

Although Nanwei almost killed Zhang Yi because he didn't know a good heart at the beginning, which made him wish he could kill this kid, but after a long time, Zhang Yi sat beside him again, and the anger at that time also faded, and now again Seeing and finding that the boy was safe, even though there was no love or hatred in his heart, he still felt relieved.No matter what, he was his younger brother, and he didn't want him to die.

Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at Zhang Yi.Zhang Yi's expression is very focused, with a straight nose bridge, gentle but shrewd eyes, and lips that are not consciously pursed because of his concentration. He does not have the youth and delicacy of a teenager at all. He is a very pure man. A face, a face of a man who contained endless vicissitudes and hardships...

Nan Shao couldn't hold back the surging emotions in his heart, and raised his hand to gently fiddle with the short-cut white hair of the man beside him.In fact, what he wants to do more is to kiss this white hair, kiss this person, take this person fiercely, and feel that he belongs to him completely and completely.

Zhang Yi was disturbed, raised his head, and looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong? Bored?"

Nan Shao shook his head, and instead of letting go of his hand, he put his hand on Zhang Yi's neck, caressing it intentionally or unintentionally, combined with the lust in his eyes, even if he didn't say a word, Zhang Yi's face gradually became hot stand up.

The next development that best suits the current atmosphere is an inseparable kiss.It's a pity that neither of them was open enough to let others watch their intimacy, so they could only regretfully restrain the love and impulse in their hearts, and smiled at each other.

Zhang Yi raised his hand to grab the hand that was making trouble around his neck, then clasped it tightly, and turned his gaze back to the notebook.

"Mr. Lin is really amazing. He was able to study the mutated plants that we often see on weekdays to such an extent. Look at this hydralisk vine. Who would have thought that its skin needs to be burned with supernatural fire before it can be eaten. Looking for an opportunity, we Try it?" Apparently afraid that Nan Shao would be left out in the cold, this time Zhang Yi didn't look at it like before, forgetting everything around him, but talked to Nan Shao in a low voice while watching.

"Okay." Nan Shao stroked Zhang Yi's palm and fingertips, felt the rough calluses and cracked chaps from the knife handle on it, and slowly used his supernatural powers to help him repair it, but his eyes fell on Zhang Yi's side from time to time It seemed that he couldn't get enough of his face.

Perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder.The first time the two met, he had no impression at all. The second time, that is, the time he was rescued, was the first time for him. At that time, Zhang Yi was just a tired, haggard and sloppy middle-aged Uncle Nian, still a cripple, is no different from a bottom-level survivor struggling to survive in the last days.At that time, he never thought that one day he would fall in love with this man and give up everything.But now looking at this face again, I just feel that everything is good, and nothing is bad. No matter how I look at it, I can never get tired of it.

"It's a pity that he refuses to go with us. After all, it's not very safe for an old man to stay there, and...it's too lonely." Zhang Yi sighed.Even if there are a group of half people around, they can't communicate at all.

"The relationship between Mr. Lin and that Qisheng should be the same as the two of us. He is not lonely." Nan Shao replied.If it were him, he would have made the same choice.

Zhang Yi murmured, and seemed to think it made sense, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again: "That's not necessarily true. The two are more likely to be life-and-death friends, just like Qiao Tou and Shi Sange..." Sometimes the friendship is deep To the extreme, it is difficult to distinguish from love and family affection.For an old man who has nothing and nothing to worry about, he does not want to leave with them, but stays with his mutated old friends, researches knowledge, and makes use of his remaining energy. This choice is not so difficult to understand.

As for the truth, they may never know without Mr. Lin's presence.

The two whispered on one side, and heard two children whispering on the other side, but they thought the voice was quiet, but most of the people in the car heard it.

"Are your father and your pumpkin father in a relationship?" Ge Ayi was like a ghost, but it was only the second time they met, and he saw the relationship between Nan Shao and Zhang Yi.

"Yes." Zhang Ruiyang's expression was ignorant, with some incomprehensible complacency, as if he felt that this matter was very enviable.He is young, and the people he contacts are not as complicated as Ge Ayi's, and he doesn't understand the meaning of dating at all, but he watches TV, boys and girls will kiss when they are in love, and pumpkin father and father often kiss, so I think That's it.

"But they are all men, how can they fall in love?" Ge Ayi knew more than him. Although he had heard of homosexuality, he couldn't understand it at all.

"Why can't men and men fall in love?" Zhang Ruiyang scratched his head.

"Because men can only fall in love with women." This is Ge Ayi's inherent concept, formed by the influence of the surrounding environment.

"Why can men only fall in love with women?" Zhang Ruiyang asked in disbelief.He thought it would be good for his father to fall in love with Papa Pumpkin, just like on TV, sweet.

"It's because of that that you can have a baby." Ge Ayi answered it as a matter of course, and did not forget to roll his eyes with contempt.

"My father already has a baby." Zhang Ruiyang patted his small chest and said proudly.

"..." Ge Ayi decided not to talk to this little idiot again.

Hearing this, Zhang Yi and Nan Shao looked at each other, their ears felt hot, but they couldn't help but smile.

Huo Rui, who was huddled together with the two little guys, was silent, but he was thinking in his heart that if his parents could live, even if his father found another boy and his mother found another woman, he would accept it.But if the father finds another girl and the mother finds a boy, that probably won't work.Because then there will be more younger brothers and sisters, and neither of the parents may want him again.

Thinking of this, he felt a little ashamed again, thinking that if his parents were still alive and knew that he thought so, they would definitely beat him up.However, even being beaten is fine, as long as they are alive...

Nan Wei was in the same row as them, squeezed in the innermost.He pinched his palm, endured the sourness in his heart, and restrained himself not to look at Nan Shao.He doesn't like men, Nan Shao changed his target, he was relieved, but seeing the tacit understanding and warmth of the two people getting along with each other, listening to the childish words of the two children, he couldn't help being jealous with Annoyed, he wanted to yell at everyone that Nanshao originally belonged to him.It's just that he is no longer like before. He feels that the whole world should revolve around him, so no matter how uncomfortable he is, he still tries to hold back.He knew that he had to learn to be self-reliant and to forget, because no one would sympathize with him, and Nan Shao would never treat him as unconditionally and unreservedly as before, and he would not even look at him more.

Time is flowing, the world is changing, and no one will stand forever waiting for another.Not to mention waiting for a person who has trampled on his sincerity wantonly.

Nan Wei finally understood this point, and at the same time, she also knew where she was wrong.It wasn't his fault that he didn't accept Nan Shao's feelings, and even felt disgusted and angry because of it. His fault was that he shouldn't accept Nan Shao's kindness to him for granted while disgusting him.The mistake is that the brotherhood should not be trampled on.The fault was that after Nan Shao was scratched by zombies because of his unreasonable demands, he shouldn't have ignored it as if he had been relieved.If he had had a little bit of conscience at that time and stayed and guarded Nanshao until he mutated, even if it was just a show, the relationship between the two would not have become what it is now, and he would not have encountered those things later.

However, he is more aware that without those things later, he may never understand how precious the things he once had are.It's just that it's already lost, and it's impossible to get it back, and it's useless to regret it, so the only thing he can do now is to stop thinking about relying on anyone, and try to make himself stronger. By then, Nan Shao may treat him Look at it differently.

Everyone in the car had different ideas, but overall it was quite relaxed.For Zhang Yi and others, it seems that there is not much change, but the survivors who escaped from Ronghe have not felt this way for a long time. After all, the number of people has increased so much, and their strength has also doubled. Walking with two legs, not to worry about running out of food at any time, except that you have to take turns to open the way, this kind of life is almost no different from traveling before the end of the world.

There is a lot of people and strength, and with sufficient food supply, the people in the gymnasium and the Ronghe refugees who are eager to improve their own strength glow with unprecedentedly powerful combat effectiveness.In addition, the road from Ronghe to Zafeng is cleared by passing survivors from time to time, and the newly grown mutated plants are not too powerful. Those who watched from the side, not only did not reduce the number of staff, but the speed of opening the road was a little faster than when Zhang Yi and the others came from Longren, and they were more than capable.

So at noon the next day, they arrived at Ronghe.The convoy pauses here.

Everyone stood on the highway and looked at the county town occupied by huge explosive trees. They saw that the poisonous thorny tree blocking the entrance of the county town had disappeared. The branches and leaves, the hanging aerial roots, and the twisted roots formed a small independent forest, completely engulfing the entire city, not even a single corner of the building was exposed.There is an empty space between the county town and the expressway, and none of the mutated plants that were originally dense and green are missing, as if it has suddenly become a forbidden area for plants, forming a sharp contrast with the other side of the expressway.

"What a domineering plant!" Someone exclaimed.

"Sooner or later this will be a scourge, is there a way to get rid of it?" Zhang Yi asked Nan Shao in a low voice.Among all the people present, apart from the sick ghost, perhaps only Nan Shao can answer this question.

Nan Shao didn't answer right away, but stared at it for a moment, and said after considering, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. If it was when we first arrived at Ronghe, there might still be two chances. Now it has very strong vitality. I have encountered it before. Compared with it, if one is a firefly, the other is a bright moon. With my current ability, not to mention that I can't get close to it, even if I stick to its main body to absorb it, I can't absorb half of it in a year." As for when the explosion Mu noticed the rebound when the vitality disappeared, other attacks, and continued growth, all of which needless to say.

Zhang Yi was speechless, and the other people who came out of Ronghe also sighed when they heard this. After all, this place that allowed them to live in peace for half a year must be abandoned after all.

Li Muran didn't get out of the car. She had no feelings for Ronghe, but the huge mutated tree still made her feel terrified intuitively. After listening to Nan Shao's words, she couldn't help but leaned on the back of the chair and asked the sick ghost in front of him who closed his eyes and rested. , "Brother sick, can Dudu deal with that tree?"

Dudu might be too sleepy, this time he didn't run around, he was woken up when everyone left, so he lay on the roof of the car and fell asleep all the way.

"No." The sick ghost replied coldly.

Li Muran had long been used to his attitude, so he didn't take it seriously, and continued to ask: "Then is there anything you can do?"

"No." The tone of refusal to help was obvious.Of course the sick ghost has a solution, but the fact that it has nothing to do with him and won't affect the itinerary, he doesn't have the patience to do it.

Li Muran smiled embarrassingly, not daring to ask any more.She wasn't too disappointed, anyway, she was treating sick ghosts, if she had something to ask, it was normal if she didn't get an answer, and if she got an answer, it was a mistake.

Since it was a matter of the gnats shaking the big tree, of course everyone would not do it, so the team quickly set off again.

This time the destination is Bowei Base.It is impossible for Zhang Yi and the others to take too many people with them when they go to the northwest. It is unsafe and cumbersome.So it's best to find a human settlement and let those who want to stay stay.The first choice right now is naturally Bowei. If the situation of Bowei is too bad, then we can look for it along the way.

And this was also one of Song Yan's goals for Shen Chi and the others to follow along, to pay attention to the distribution of the survivor bases along the way, and to check the situation of zombies, mutant creatures, and survivors in the northwest.After all, there is not only one choice of where to build the base.
