The circle that Bai Luoluo drew on the map was a no-man's land area as before.
There was originally an endless forest, but the trees were cut down and turned into barren mountains. Because it used to be a dense forest, the number and variety of flora and fauna there are very large. After the end of the day, most of the animals were almost extinct, leaving only the tenacious plants and countless insects to survive the end of the day, and there were morphological changes.
Almost all plants on the market today are artificially cultivated, but there are also wild ones. It's just that most of these wild plants have evolved abilities similar to animals. They become more aggressive and can even actively forage on their own. This change allows them to blur the line between animals and plants, and sometimes people don't even know whether they are animals or plants.
Not many people are willing to go to the area pointed out by Bai Luoluo. It is too dangerous and the benefits are not high. Even new humans are reluctant to run there.
Li Guanshan and Bai Luoluo discussed some details about the monument.
Bai Luoluo said that if the historical description of those areas is correct, it used to be a large forest park with a lot of traffic, but it was abandoned after something happened.
Li Guanshan asked what happened.
Bai Luoluo said that it should be a disaster in the end, but he didn't know the specifics.
Li Guanshan thought about it and said that he would prepare for a few days.
Bai Luoluo nodded in approval.
So the departure time was set like this, and soon Li Qianqian also knew that they were going on an adventure again.
Li Qianqian was very excited, and eagerly said that she must do a big job.
Bai Luoluo sat beside him and watched, quietly nibbling on his melon seeds.
Having said that, there seems to be something wrong with the system equipped in his world. He is eating melon seeds all day long, and when he asks him something, he is in a mess, and he looks like he has ruined himself.
Bai Luoluo persuaded him a few times, and the system said, "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm eating... what can I do with melon seeds." Bai Luoluo thought that you're okay, if you were a person, you would probably eat your front teeth. All that's left is a toothpick.
Fortunately, the system is eating data melon seeds, and there is no grinding of teeth, but looking at the tone of his answer to Bai Luoluo's question, I feel that there is something wrong with the system.
During Li Guanshan's preparations, a small thing happened.
That incident was that when Bai Luoluo went out to walk with Motuo one day, he met Xun Jiuyang who he had seen before.
Xun Jiuyang was standing on the side of the road and talking to people about something. When he noticed Bai Luoluo, he stopped immediately and turned to look at Bai Luoluo. He smiled and called out Bai Luoluo's name in this world: "Jiang Shuiyuan ?"
Compared with the previous few times, Xun Jiuyang's gentle attitude was like heaven and earth. Bai Luoluo was horrified by his gaze, hesitantly stood there, and did not move.
"What are you doing?" Xun Jiuyang asked.
Bai Luoluo said, "Come out for a walk."
Mo Tuo, who was originally standing behind Bai Luoluo, stepped forward casually at this time, walked to Bai Luoluo and squatted down, looking at Xun Jiuyang with bad eyes.
Xun Jiuyang said, "Yo, Mo Tuo is here too."
Motuo ignored him, still quietly flapping his tail.
"Is something wrong? Master Xun?" Bai Luoluo didn't like the person in front of him very much.
Xun Jiuyang said: "So, a friend of mine is about to have a wedding, and I want to invite you to play a song for him."
Bai Luoluo said immediately: "I'm sorry, Master Xun, I can't take charge of this matter."
Xun Jiuyang said: "Why can't you be the master." His voice became cold, "Li Guanshan and the others said that they can't make the master for you if they are not your master. Could it be that you use the same excuse to perfunctory me?"
Bai Luoluo frowned, and he said, "Sorry, I can't agree to this matter casually."
Xun Jiuyang sneered when he heard the words, he said, "Oh, then I want to ask, who can decide this matter?"
Bai Luoluo said: "I have to go back and discuss with them."
"Negotiation is a good word." Xun Jiuyang said, "Yes, I will give you time."
Bai Luoluo nodded, turned and left without saying anything to Xun Jiuyang. However, until he left, Xun Jiuyang's eyes were staring at his back, and Bai Luoluo's skin hurt.
After returning home at night, Bai Luoluo told the Li brothers and sisters about this.
Li Qianqian slapped the table and said no.
Li Guanshan looked at the book in his hand, and said Bai Luoluo casually without raising his head.
"Where to go, where to go!" Li Qianqian said, "That Xun Jiuyang is not a good thing at all, Shuiyuan, let me tell you, he has asked us for you many times."
Bai Luoluo said, "want me?"
"Yes, he wants to buy you." Li Qianqian said disdainfully, "The price is good, but it's a piece of shit. Are we that kind of people!"
Before Bai Luoluo was touched, Li Guanshan made up the knife, and he said slowly: "Yes, we have to eat Li Qianqian's food after selling you. It's better to die than life."
Li Qianqian: "...don't make me howl."
Li Guanshan raised his eyebrows.
After Li Qianqian said this, Bai Luoluo knew that Xun Jiuyang had never given up on him. Even tried to replace him with something only two days ago.
Bai Luoluo couldn't help but ask Xun Jiuyang what he said.
"It's a very well-preserved jade pendant." Li Guanshan said, "It is said that he specially bought it recently."
Li Qianqian said, "Well, although the jade pendant is quite cute, how should I put it, you are more cute."
Bai Luoluo couldn't help laughing.
The departure time they prepared was just a few days later, and Li Guanshan confirmed some key items. The temperature in the place where they went this time was not low. At least Bai Luoluo didn't have to wrap himself up like a ball.
However, there were many poisonous insects in the forest, so Li Guanshan specially brought a batch of antidote to prevent poisoning.
Bai Luoluo watched while Li Guanshan was preparing, and felt that Li Guanshan was really like a loving father who took his children out for camping. Thinking that if Li Guanshan knew what Bai Luoluo was thinking, he would probably be forced to laugh.
It was a sunny morning when they set off.
The climax of the Spring Festival has passed, and most of the vendors have begun to disperse.
Thanks to the Spring Festival, Bai Luoluo ate a lot of food that he thought he would never eat again, and even ate a piece of pineapple that was sour.
It seems that the ability of human beings to adapt and survive is really powerful. Even in such a bad apocalypse environment, they can gradually adapt and even develop a culture that is unique to the apocalypse.
On the aircraft, Li Qianqian put a bunch of her nuts.
The taste of nuts is actually pretty good, but Bai Luoluo couldn't bite, so he could only grind it slowly with his teeth.
In the end, Li Qianqian couldn't see it anymore, and said with a wretched smile, "Shuiyuan, do you want me to chew it for you... Before she could speak, Li Guanshan came to her head."
So in the end Li Qianqian could only cry and say, "Shuiyuan, do you want my brother to chew it up for you and try again?"
Bai Luoluo couldn't help but say no.
Li Qianqian showed a regretful expression.
Bai Luoluo said, "Your brother has worked hard enough, and you don't even let him chew nuts."
Li Qianqian said angrily, "How do you know that he is not happy, maybe he is very happy."
Li Guanshan said, "Li Qianqian?"
Li Qian fainted.
In the end, no one helped Bai Luoluo to chew the nuts. He could only chew a little bit, his cheeks were sore like a hamster, and he could barely finish one.
Medog was still sitting behind the aircraft with Bai Luoluo, and the big cat was still lying leisurely on Bai Luoluo's lap. Recently, the two of them are getting closer and closer. Bai Luoluo was worried that Li Guanshan, the original owner of Medog, would be jealous. Later, he found that he didn't seem to mind, so he was relieved.
Out of the base, there is still an endless desert.
Li Qianqian said, "Well, I read a book in the past and said that this place used to be a sea of flowers... It's very beautiful." In this age where every flower is rare, the sea of flowers is indeed something that only appears in dreams.
"Really..." Bai Luoluo said, "What a pity."
"Yeah, what a pity." Li Qianqian propped her chin and said, "It would be great if I could take a look at the world before."
Bai Luoluo sighed helplessly.
The aircraft needed to fly for about four days and stopped several times during this period, but all because Bai Luoluo needed to solve physiological problems.
Bai Luoluo was a little embarrassed at first, but then he got used to it. He didn't need Li Guanshan to ask, so he spoke by himself. Although the tone of his speech was still a bit shy, it was a kind of progress.
When Bai Luoluo went to the toilet, Li Qianqian asked Li Guanshan in confusion why he took Bai Luoluo with him when he came out this time. The place they went to was not safe, and it could even be said that there were dangers everywhere. What should be unexpected.
"It's even more unsafe to put it at home." Li Guanshan said, "Xun Jiuyang is still very interested in him."
Li Qian pursed her lips and said, "Xun Jiuyang, that nasty bastard."
Unlike them, people like Xun Jiuyang didn't see the old human beings at all. In their eyes, the old humans are just a group of useful pets, and their value is not even comparable to a precious sapling.
The Xun family and the Li family are closely related, and Li Guanshan is worried about what Xun Jiuyang will do to Bai Luoluo while they leave. After all, he didn't move Bai Luoluo now, just looking at Li Guanshan's face.
"Okay, I'll try my best to protect the water." Li Qianqian muttered and crunched a nut.
Bai Luoluo finished the solution and climbed back to the aircraft. He noticed that his feet were no longer desert, but mud. It's just that no living creatures can be seen on the soil. He said, "Is there any problem with the soil here? Why can't I see plants?"
"It's already polluted," Li Guanshan said. "The plants can't survive."
"Well, not only are the plants unable to survive, but even the weaker old humans will have red and swollen skin when they touch this soil." Li Qianqian added.
Bai Luoluo said, "Ah, that's it."
"But you should be fine." Li Qianqian said, "I think your figure is actually pretty good."
Bai Luoluo is not too thin in this world. After all, how can people who are not in good health survive in the colony of old humans. On the contrary, his body texture is smooth, and he is a very beautiful young man who looks very healthy. Of course, compared to Li Guanshan's body size, it must be a lot worse.
After entering the range of the soil, the temperature was much more comfortable than in the desert. Bai Luoluo thought they would reach their destination in such a safe way, but obviously he underestimated the danger of this land.
One day, the three of them were chatting, but Li Guanshan suddenly changed his face and said, "Sit tight!"
Bai Luoluo quickly tightened the seat belt on his body.
As soon as he finished this action, the aircraft that was flying smoothly began to heave up and down suddenly, roll over and glide, almost like a roller coaster.
Bai Luoluo was not afraid of this, but felt a little irritated, Li Qianqian screamed as if someone had been beaten, and cried, "Brother - don't shake it, I'm going to vomit."
Li Guanshan said: "I want me to deal with the things underneath without shaking."
Bai Luoluo looked down from the transparent window and saw a bunch of tentacles popping out of the black soil at some point. These tentacles stretched for hundreds of meters, and they were constantly shaking and twitching, trying to smash the aircraft down in mid-air.
Bai Luoluo saw with his own eyes a tentacle sliding past the window.
Bai Luoluo cursed in his heart and asked, "What is this?"
"It seems that it used to be called earthworm." Li Guanshan said, "I don't know now."
Bai Luoluo thought that this was the cute earthworm? ? He doesn't believe it! ! !
Li Qianqian couldn't stand the tumbling aircraft, so she quickly opened the window and started throwing sound waves down. Her sound waves cut off part of the earthworm. The stumps that fell to the ground did not die, but were still beating wildly, and even quickly inserted into the soil to form new earthworms.
Bai Luoluo thought of a cold joke inexplicably.
Li Guanshan noticed that Bai Luoluo was holding back his laughter. He obviously didn't think there was anything to laugh about, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Bai Luoluo said embarrassedly: "I thought of a joke..."
Li Guanshan said, "What a joke."
Bai Luoluo said: "The joke is that the earthworm family was very boring today, so the little earthworm cut himself into two pieces to play badminton. The earthworm mother thought this method was good, so she cut herself into four pieces and played mahjong. The earthworm father thought for a while, and then cut himself into minced meat. The earthworm mother cried and said: 'Why are you so stupid? You will die if you cut it so much!' The earthworm father said weakly: '…Suddenly want to play football'."
Li Guanshan with the flying machine: "… "
Li Qianqian, who was cutting earthworms: "..."
Because of this joke, the temperature of the entire spacecraft dropped a lot in an instant, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while.
Bai Luoluo apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was not funny."
Li Qianqian began to cry, but the content of the cry was: "Why didn't you tell me the water source earlier that this thing can be divided even if it is cut off-"
Bai Luoluo looked innocent and said, "(⊙v⊙) I thought you knew."
Li Qianqian said, "How could I possibly know, how could I know woo woo woo."
Li Guanshan snorted softly, but couldn't hold back his laughter.
Fortunately, the earthworms only existed in that one place, and did not follow after the aircraft flew away.
Li Qianqian strongly asked Li Guanshan to park the aircraft. This time, Li Guanshan did not embarrass Li Qianqian and parked the aircraft on a rock.
After Li Qianqian landed, she started to vomit and vomited out all the food she had eaten in her stomach.
Li Guanshan pulled Bai Luoluo to stand far away.
Li Qianqian burst into tears and said, "Brother, can't you stand closer and hand me a towel?"
Li Guanshan said, "I'm afraid I'll vomit if I stand too close to you."
Li Qianqian said angrily, "You lied! You have never vomited!" They had encountered a lot of disgusting things in the ancient ruins, but Li Guanshan had always been expressionless.
Li Guanshan calmly explained for himself, he said, "That's just because I don't think the monster is sick of you who are vomiting."
Li Qianqian: "????"
After Li Qianqian finished vomiting, the three of them returned to the aircraft.
At this point, the journey was only halfway through, and Li Qianqian prayed that he would not encounter those long and thick earthworms in the future.
According to normal ecological development, soil with very little vegetation and water can easily degenerate into a desert. But the piece of soil below them is not there. I think it is for some special reason.
Bai Luoluo guessed that the soil may have mutated, and the toxicity generated in it kept the soil water, and did not turn the soil into a dry desert, giving some animals that lived on the soil a chance to survive.
The magic of nature is here. Many places that are not suitable for human existence are paradise for other animals.
Then they encountered some creatures.
As Li Guanshan said before, there are many kinds of creatures here. Whether they run on the ground or fly in the sky, Bai Luoluo's eyes are opened.
Within a few days of encountering earthworms, Bai Luoluo saw a group of flies flying in the air. Although it was a fly, in fact it took Bai Luoluo a long time to recognize the species of this group of insects.
This is not to blame for Bai Luoluo, because the group of flies has grown a lot bigger, and a single one seems to be half a meter long. Hundreds of them fly together, and they are so black that people's scalp is numb when they look at them.
Fortunately, the flying height of the flies is not high and cannot pose a threat to the aircraft, otherwise Bai Luoluo can imagine the disgusting appearance of the entire aircraft covered with fly mucus. Unlike the dead desert, where all kinds of creatures appear frequently, Bai Luoluo almost thought he had entered the animal world.
On the fifth day, they finally reached their destination, where the circle that Bai Luoluo drew on the map was. It was a little later than they had planned, presumably because of the delays from the animals they encountered along the way.
Medog obviously didn't like it here, and after getting off the aircraft, he had been flicking his tail uncomfortably.
Li Guanshan said, "This used to be a forest park?"
"Yes." Bai Luoluo still found some traces of human life. He pointed to a stone building not far away that had been eroded by time due to the changes of the years, and said, "This should have been a small bridge in the past."
"Bridge? Is there still water here?" Li Qian said lightly.
"Yes." Bai Luoluo found some traces of pebbles near the bridge, guessing that this place used to be a creek or a small river, so someone built a stone bridge here.
"Oh." Li Qianqian nodded.
"It's not far from where you painted." Li Guanshan said, "Let's go, let's walk there."
Bai Luoluo said, "Okay." He looked around and felt that he could see the shadow of the forest that once existed from the dark land. There were green trees, running water, birdsong, and probably some wild animals. It's just that there is only a piece of wasteland left here, and everything that is beautiful no longer exists.
When Bai Luoluo walked over there, he asked the system what the historic site was this time.
The system for eating melon seeds stopped, and said confusedly: "Ah, where is it, I don't know where it is..."
Bai Luoluo said, "... friend, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," the system said. "Where have we been?"
Bai Luoluo: "..."
It seems that this system is basically abolished. When Bai Luoluo starts to think about whether he should tell the system in advance to eat melon seeds in moderation.
The system is unreliable, so I can only do it myself. Bai Luoluo and the others were lucky, and they quickly found the historic site. But Bai Luoluo did not expect that the historic site here is actually a museum in the Forest Park.
"It's so big." Li Qianqian looked up at the dilapidated building, and had already imagined the grand occasion from its crumbling appearance. She said, "This place should be very tall."
The museum is in the shape of an egg. Because of its age, almost all the superstructures have collapsed.
"Well." Bai Luoluo looked up at the building in front of him, nodded, and said, "It should be very high."
"It's good." Li Qian smiled and rolled her eyes, she said, "I think every day how lucky I would be if I lived in that era."
Bai Luoluo patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's fine now."
"Well, that's right." Li Qianqian quickly got rid of her nostalgia for the past, and said, "Let's go in?"
Li Guanshan, who had not spoken much, reached out his hand and made a stop gesture. He said, "Wait, there seems to be something at the door."
Bai Luoluo looked up, only to find that there seemed to be a layer of green on the steps at the entrance of the museum. At first glance, it looked like moss.
Li Guanshan said, "That thing is alive."
Li Qianqian observed it carefully for a while and said, "Alive? Why can't I feel the breath of animals..."
"Because it's a plant." Bai Luoluo said, "Well... it looks like a kind of moss from the past."
"Medog." Li Guanshan said, "Go."
When Mo Tuo heard the words, he ran towards the steps.
