Hollande agreed, but Fu Shiwu was surprised and looked at him hesitantly.

Tang Xuhai's heart was quietly burning with icy anger, he glared at Fu Shiwu without a trace, what the hell was going on? After he finds out, he won't be able to settle the account with Fu Shiwu, this guy who has no defense against others!

The three of them drove to the new city in a battery scooter.

Hollande, who was driving, did not stop at the commercial street. Instead, he crossed several streets and came to a secluded place. This place had a big sign, and the neon light box above it read "Peicheng Internet Cafe".

Tang Xuhai was in shock. These days, these two people came out mysteriously every day. Did they just go to this place to surf the Internet

In the courtyard of No. 7, there is no satellite network, just borrow a computer from Miao Jia, otherwise it is not expensive to buy a computer. Why go to a place across a city to surf the Internet here

Tang Xuhai suppressed his doubts and sat in the back seat without moving.

Fu Shiwu turned around in front of him, looked at him anxiously, and whispered, "Xu Hai, do you really want to wait here? Actually..."

Tang Xuhai glanced at Hollande, who was looking at him in the rearview mirror, and smiled at Fu Shiwu: "It's okay, I'll just wait for you here."

Fu Shiwu hesitated for a while, then nodded determinedly, and said, "Well, I'll come out as soon as possible, so that you won't have to wait for a long time. There are not many days, and I'll tell you when things are done."

Fu Shiwu still cared about him, Tang Xuhai was happy in his heart, but he didn't show any emotion on his face, and waved his hands very generously: "You guys go."

When the two entered the Internet cafe, Tang Xuhai's calm mask fell off, showing an unsteady look, lying on the back of the chair in front, trying his best to look at it, hoping to be able to be in the critical window. Inside, you can see Fu Shiwu's figure.

Tang Xuhai couldn't sit still, wriggling, and he felt impatient and irritable in his heart.

As time passed by, Tang Xuhai thought that he would have to wait here for at least an hour or two, but he didn't expect the two of them to come out in less than half an hour.

Tang Xuhai was overjoyed, followed by anger.

Sure enough, as Zhen Zi said, in fact, it doesn't take that long to do things at all. It was completely delayed by Hollande in various forms for so long, which caused Fu Shiwu to go back more and more late recently.

It seems that Hollande's methods are really old-fashioned, and Fu Shiwu doesn't have the slightest sense of self-awareness, maybe he doesn't know when he has taken advantage of it.

Tang Xuhai gritted his teeth, and accidentally scratched a large piece of the seat by pressing his hand on the seat behind him.

Tang Xuhai was surprised, and quietly pressed the large piece that he grabbed back. Then he touched it, and painted the peace. This is the car assigned to Hollande, so he won't find it for a while, or he will be embarrassed.

"I'm back, it's pretty quick." Tang Xuhai grinned without a smile.

Fu Shiwu didn't hear what he meant at all. He opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot's seat. He said happily: "Well, it's done. Just look at the progress, in fact, it is not necessary to be there. Waiting there, I think you are still outside, and the results will be the same tomorrow."

Tang Xuhai felt a little more comfortable, and he said nonchalantly, "Since things are done, let's go back."

Fu Shiwu paused and said hesitantly: "Yesterday Hollande told me about the underwater tunnel, there is a botanical garden on the other side of the river, and many wood-type abilities are cultivating plants there, even Liu Peiqi is there. I rented a piece of land to grow supernatural corn. So, I originally thought of going to see it today."

Tang Xuhai sneered, it turned out that Hollande was just like this, walking around outside with Fu Shiwu without a trace.

Fu Shiwu turned his head and said to him, "Why don't you go with us today."

Tang Xuhai replied as a matter of course: "I came out with you today, you can go wherever you say."

The two agreed, and Hollande had no choice but to bring this blatant guy who came to be a light bulb.

Hollande looked at Tang Xuhai in the rear-view mirror from time to time. Although Tang Xuhai was smiling at him, the chills all over his body stood on end.

But Hollande is still calm. Although he has been taking Fu Shiwu on a date in various names these days, Fu Shiwu's slowness also amazes him, and Hollande does not dare to easily confront him. He made it clear that he was afraid that Fu Shiwu would reject it directly.

His plan is to spend more time with Fu Shiwu, cultivate a certain emotional foundation, and then confess to him, and then implement the pursuit action as a suitor, so the success rate will be higher.

With Fu Shiwu's personality type, if he confesses first, he will directly reject him. After a certain friendship, he would hesitate instead. Although he would refuse, he would not stop contacting.

Hollande, who is skilled in the world, of course, knows what the best chance of winning is, so he implements his pursuit plan without any expression.

The country where Hollande was born was quite open, and Hollande did not generally interact with men and women in this country. Coming to Huaxia coincides with the end of the world, and only Fu Shiwu makes him appreciate and admire.

It was either fleeing or training before, but now that both sides have finally had time to spare, of course he took action. The original plan went well, but a guy like Tang Xuhai suddenly appeared.

Tang Xuhai, he really couldn't figure it out. To say that he is also interested in dealing with Shi Wu, but it has not reached that level, but the influence of dealing with Shi Wu is quite large, which makes Hollande jealous.

He really didn't want to confront Tang Xuhai before he had established a relationship with Fu Shiwu, and now he was helpless and could only take one step at a time.

Pei City is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on the other. There is a river called Pei River in the north. Before the opening of the canopy, the construction of the tunnel project has already begun. Gather together and rush to complete the underwater tunnel.

Pei City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, only the opposite side of the Pei River is a plain, and the Botanical Garden of Pei City is built there. The food and vegetable supply of the entire city depends on this botanical garden.

Although there are also city walls built around the botanical garden, they are not as tall and thick as Pei City, but only to a degree that resists the impact a little.

There is a complete underground building here. Once there is an unstoppable situation, the staff working in the botanical garden will hide in the underground building, and Peicheng will come to support through the underwater tunnel built inside the exit.

The botanical garden is quite large, divided into several large areas, including food growing areas, vegetable growing areas, fruit growing areas, cotton growing areas, and even a special area for the cultivation of rubber and sugar cane, which originally grow in subtropical plants.

Now that there are wood-type abilities, everything is possible, and it is not uncommon to see plants that do not belong to the temperate zone here.

Wood-type abilities can not only promote seeds and promote the growth of plants, but even provide growth energy for plants to reduce the consumption of nutrients in the soil, which makes the planting and growth of plants no longer require a lot of chemical fertilizers.

Although the wood-type abilities are important workers in the planting of the botanical garden, there are still a large number of ordinary people and mutants working here in the botanical garden. Because of the rapid growth of food and vegetables, weeds and weeds are also growing wildly, which requires people to go In addition, these people are also responsible for catching insects, irrigating and watering.

The botanical garden is divided into blocks, with four-car parallel lanes separating these areas of different planting species.

Fu Shiwu looked at the scene outside the car window freshly, and even Tang Xuhai, who was not originally here to visit, couldn't help but watch the various scenes in the botanical garden.

"Xuhai, look!" Fu Shiwu couldn't help but said to Tang Xuhai, "There are beekeepers."

Tang Xuhai glanced at Hollande, and couldn't help but feel proud: Did you see it, Shi Wu called him the first time! Then he said: "Of course beekeeping is needed. Those fruit trees need bees to pollinate, and the collected honey can also provide sugar."

Fu Shiwu turned his head and said to him, "Let's buy some honey when we go back. When I was in Yuncheng before, I had never eaten authentic honey, and it was all mixed."

Tang Xuhai didn't care about Hollande, and Fu Shiwu couldn't help attracting all his attention. He said seriously: "Then we will buy some back in a while, and let my aunt make biscuits and cakes for you. Authentic honey is very good. The pure, rich taste, even with the fragrance of flowers, is by no means comparable to the rough blended honey. When I used to be a soldier, the people in the cooking class made their own peaks and often could eat authentic honey ."

Fu Shiwu's face was full of envy, and his little eyes were shining: "It must be delicious to make cakes and biscuits. By the way, Xu Hai, I have heard before that royal jelly is good for keeping fit, since you are a soldier. Some people keep bees, have you tried it? What does it taste like?"

Tang Xuhai's expression became quite complicated: "Royal jelly..." Then it turned into a horrible expression: "It's very hard to eat!"

Fu Shiwu was slightly surprised: "Is royal jelly difficult to eat? Don't they all say this is a good thing?"

Tang Xuhai raised his eyebrows and said, "A good thing doesn't mean it's delicious. This thing is the secretion of worker bees, which is specially eaten by the queen bee. Sour, astringent, and spicy!"

Tang Xuhai said, as if recalling the smell again, his face contorted: "The time I injured my leg, I was recuperating from the first operation in the army hospital, and my comrades sent me a can, saying it was a supplement. Nutritious. Let me eat a spoonful every day. You don't know, that thing can't be washed with water, it can only be eaten directly. I ate it for more than a month, and it was unpalatable to death!"

As Tang Xuhai's face distorted, Fu Shiwu's heart also twitched, and he used royal jelly to supplement him with nutrition. Tang Xuhai must have been seriously injured at that time, and he lost a lot of blood.

Fu Shiwu looked at him sympathetically and said, "It's all over."

Tang Xuhai took a long time to react. He was comforting him about the injury at that time, and he smiled freely: "I'm very satisfied, I'll save a life anyway, and it's not all good now."

And after having the ability, he has never been injured again, which is amazing.

"It's here." Hollande said suddenly.

It was only then that Fu Shiwu realized that there was another person. He subconsciously raised his face in embarrassment, and his face became expressionless: "Well."

Liu Peiqi didn't know in advance that they would come, and was stunned when he saw them.

Liu Peiqi said in surprise, "Captain, why are you here?"

Fu Shiwu said with a paralyzed face in a very leadership-like manner: "I heard that you are planting supernatural corn here, so I came here to have a look."

Liu Peiqi smiled and said, "Welcome."

Tang Xuhai took a few steps forward and looked carefully at the place rented by Liu Peiqi: "Your place is not very big."

Along the way, there are large areas, not food, vegetables, or large-scale fruit trees, rubber forests, and when they reach the end, they become greenhouse-like places with steel frames on them. Inlaid with large pieces of glass.

"Yeah." Liu Peiqi nodded and said, "It's not big. This is for wood-type power users to study mutant plants and power plants. Several biological scientists are also squatting here."

"Where's the corn you planted?" Fu Shiwu looked at the bare land strangely.

This piece of land seems to have just been dredged, with neat traces.

"Failed." Liu Peiqi smiled bitterly.

"What?" Tang Xuhai said unexpectedly: "Haven't you used your supernatural ability to induce corn to mature before?"

Liu Peiqi said: "It was true at the time. Later, after I rented this Dapeng, I also used the seeds of supernatural corn to sow, and then used supernatural powers to trigger it. The corn that grew out was indeed the same as the previous one. Control, shoot out corn kernels and whole corn bales. But if I don't control, the corn is just as indistinguishable as normal mutant corn."

"Do you want to grow corn that is the same as that kind of supernatural corn?" Fu Shiwu asked.

Liu Peiqi said with certainty: "Of course, what I want to grow is that kind of corn. I have also asked a bioscientist to see the previous supernatural corn seeds. He said that the activity of this kind of seed is very strong. Most likely it will be psychedelic corn, but what I have grown is mutated corn, not psychedelic corn."

Fu Shiwu was thoughtful, and then he said, "How many days did it take you to plant this crop of corn?"

Liu Peiqi was surprised, then thought about it and said, "I planted it before, and then urged the seedlings. Later, I went out to do the task and came back to continue. It will be more than ten days before and after."

Fu Shiwu said: "What if it is normal corn growth? How many days will it take?"

Tang Xuhai understood: "It takes about 100 days for normal corn to be sown to harvest. Can your corn grow for more than ten days and be a supernatural corn in the natural environment?"

Liu Peiqi suddenly realized: "That's right! The supernatural corn evolved from the naturally growing corn field. Now if you want to grow supernormal corn, you can't use the wood type supernatural power to urge it, but you should follow the normal crops. The process of growing, sowing, and harvesting.”

Fu Shiwu said: "I think the mutation and ability of plants are all due to the absorption of source molecules from water and land. Using wood-type abilities will only reduce the absorption of source molecules from water and land by plants. Can't grow supernatural corn."

Liu Peiqi agreed excitedly: "Yes, yes! The head of the group said that the idea is on!"

Liu Peiqi turned around impatiently, and then said in frustration, "But I can only use my abilities to grow corn. I really can't grow crops!"

Sowing seeds, raising seedlings, etc. Although Liu Peiqi's hometown is in the village, his parents raised him in the city, and he also lives in the city after that. He only goes back to the countryside during the New Year's holiday.

Tang Xuhai said angrily: "Why are you so stupid! You don't need to go to the plant yourself, you can just find someone who can farm."

Fu Shiwu said: "You just need to give these corn seeds a little bit of your own wood-type ability when sowing, leave a little connection with the ability, and ask a real farmer to help you plant the rest."

Liu Peiqi only nodded in agreement.

Just do what he says, Liu Peiqi can't wait for a moment.

The four went directly to the grain area, and asked the farmer who worked there to go to his greenhouse to grow the corn.

However, to their surprise, this supposedly simple thing turned out to be a problem.

When these ordinary people and mutants heard that they wanted to breed by themselves, there were no wood-type abilities in the middle to release wood-type abilities to ripen them, and they all refused.

"Why? Can't I double the wages I paid?" Liu Peiqi was very puzzled.

A middle-aged man who was working said with a wry smile: "It's not that money bites your hand. If you really know how to farm, why wouldn't you agree?"

Another woman who looked like a woman wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Don't look at us who used to live in the city, where there will be real farming. Working in this botanical garden, you don't need to really care for the crops, It's just pulling weeds, irrigating, and catching insects. That's the only way to do it. If we really go to grow crops, if we take the liberty of agreeing, we'll only make a mess."

Liu Peiqi has no more tricks this time.

Tang Xuhai asked, "Don't tell me there are no real farmers in this botanical garden? There are always migrant workers in Peicheng, right? At least such people can farm at home."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "To be honest, most of the migrant workers now work outside all year round, and some have never planted land at all. They only go back to help harvest grain during the summer and autumn harvests. Planting, I think it’s not enough.” Most of the peasants who really know how to farm are eaten by aliens, and with the abundance of aliens, few peasants can escape to Peicheng.

Liu Peiqi was full of grief. He didn't have many supernatural corn seeds in his hand. He didn't know the situation before. He had planted half of it, and now there are only a hundred or so in his hand.

For such a pitiful hundred seeds, if he really wants to let others harm them, he might as well work hard to plant them himself.

The woman hesitated and said, "I heard that there was a man in the orchard in his thirties who had escaped. He seemed to be a farmer. He said that he used to be a farmer at home."

Fu Shiwu asked, "What's his name?"

"It seems to be called... Wu Yongjun." The name is too rural and traces of the times, so she remembered it all at once.

So the four of them were transferred to the orchard area to find this man named Wu Yongjun.

As soon as he saw this person, Fu Shiwu could understand why the middle-aged man told the woman just now that they were living in the city, not real farmers.

Although after the scorching sun in summer and autumn, those people were black like Africans, but their skin was firm and fleshy.

And this Wu Yongjun is also black, but his skin is rough, his body is full of lean muscles, and his arms also have bulging blood vessels. In his face and eyes, there was a sense of simplicity and simplicity that is rarely seen among urban people.

"You are Wu Yongjun." Liu Peiqi saw him like this, and he confirmed his identity without thinking.

"I'm... What do you have to do with me?" Wu Yongjun looked at them uneasily.

As soon as Liu Peiqi looked at him, he thought of his deceased old family. He couldn't help slowing down and said gently, "I heard people say that you are farming at home."

"Yes, I used to work on crops at home, and there are several acres of dry land near my home." Wu Yongjun said.

"Dry land?" Fu Shiwu couldn't help but wonder.

Tang Xuhai stood beside him and said, "It should refer to the land far away from water sources, that is, to grow plants that rely on natural rainfall. For example, corn is grown on dry land."

Liu Peiqi obviously understood this, and was fortunate that he had found a professional.

He said kindly to Wu Yongjun: "I have a greenhouse in the greenhouse area of the botanical garden, and now I want to ask someone to help grow corn, corn that grows naturally without the catalysis of wood-type powers. If you want to go, I can give it to you every day. to 25 work points."

Wu Yongjun's eyes lit up: "You don't need wood-type abilities, are they all handcrafted?"

Liu Peiqi said: "Yes, now the botanical garden's wages are 20 work points per day, and I will give you 5 more. You can work harder and help me grow corn in the same way as before. My corn seeds are very precious, and I use wood to grow them. The supernatural ability doesn't grow well at all, so it can only be planted according to the method before the opening of the sky. Do you understand?"

Wu Yongjun couldn't understand what kind of corn had to be grown in such a troublesome way, but he didn't care. Now the botanical garden is growing crops, which is as simple and mindless as the computer games played by his daughter-in-law.

Wu Yongjun even felt boring and monotonous, and was very eager to return to the previous life rhythm of facing the loess and turning his back to the sky, plowing at sunrise and resting at sunset.

It's not that he dislikes the simplicity of his current job, it's just that he still lives a normal life like that, and there is no such thing as an alien massacre of the villagers.

"I understand, I'm willing to go!" Wu Yongjun agreed without any hesitation.

Liu Peiqi was overjoyed: "Okay!" Then he thought of something and said: "Because the seeds are precious, you will live in the botanical garden for the time being, so you can take care of them nearby. Who else is in your family? Do you need to tell them?"

Wu Yongjun suddenly dimmed: "The people in my family... My mother, my father, my daughter-in-law, and my son were all killed by the aliens raised by the son of a bitch!"

Fu Shiwu and the four were silent, this world is full of broken families.
