Among the many cities in China, only city A has maintained its power system for a long time after entering the end of the world, and almost all the rest of the places have stopped supplying within a few days after the end of the world - except for hydropower and wind power plants. . M City itself is a small third-tier city. Naturally, there will be no electricity on the day after the end of the world. At this moment, the Convention and Exhibition Center is pitch black. Under the gray sky outside, it is almost impossible to see the situation inside.
A group of people approached the entrance of the convention center cautiously. A piece of glass in the glass door had long been shattered, and there were some black and dry marks on the ground, which were likely bloodstains.
Mengzi and Liu Jiangfeng took the lead in rushing in through the cracked door with a micro-chung, and turned on the lighting equipment above their heads to confirm that there was no abnormality near the door.
It seems that the zombies here have wandered out one after another, and the front hall is empty.
A member of the Samsara team quickly opened the padlock tied to the entrance of the hall, and everyone carefully probed inside again.
Perhaps it was because they had already used their bad luck when they encountered mutated plants before, but everyone's journey in this time was extraordinarily smooth. There is a strong musty smell in the hall, which is the smell of crop seeds. There are many seeds placed in the open air in various showcases and booths. At this time, they have been moldy and smelly and can no longer be used.
Because of the previous experience, before entering the hall, everyone will use the lighting facilities to carefully check the ground and ceiling, and then go in to check things after confirming that it is absolutely safe.
The light in the hall was dim, but some vague traces could still be seen. Because no survivors have come here after the apocalypse, it still retains the appearance before the apocalypse.
"Start from here, find the ones that are tightly sealed and take them out, and don't worry about the bulk ones." Chen Ning calmly ordered the crowd, the light here is too dark, and there is no time to confirm their status in turn, so I can only take out some of them first.
There is nothing to stop them, and the speed of everyone's actions is naturally a lot faster. On the side they selected, many of the seeds on display are improved and high-yielding crops, among which are all kinds of grain seeds, as well as some seeds of improved vegetables.
Everyone carried a large bag on their backs, picking out the vacuum-packed seeds and stuffing them into the bag. Before the end of the passage, almost everyone's backpacks were full, and they even carried a lot of things on their hands. Chen Ning and Lotte's space was also stuffed 70% to 80%.
"Wait! Don't move!" Ding Minggang's flashlight suddenly shot in a certain direction, and everyone found out that there was a huge black shadow outside the two aisles at the end of the road, and the shadow was feeling the light of the flashlight. After that, it twisted twice!
"Turn it off, don't follow him!" He Zizhong suddenly grabbed Ding Minggang's arm and whispered.
"Crack" the flashlight was turned off.
"The lights above are also turned off." It was still He Zizhong's low voice, "Be careful and step back."
Although they didn't know what it was, everyone slowly bent down and stepped back step by step.
"What is that?" Guo Bing approached He Zizhong and asked in a low voice while stepping back.
"Flower, be careful it will bloom, and the pollen may be poisonous." He Zizhong was not sure what kind of mutated plant flower it was, but once this kind of plant bloomed, it would kill people!
Before the end of the world, He Zizhong once met him when he was on an outing. That time he was very lucky to be in the upper wind. He watched the other team members as if they had been caught by evil after inhaling pollen, and walked towards the flowers in a daze. On the side, let the roots sticking out grab them and absorb them as nutrients!
Holding their breath, everyone retreated to the gate step by step, trying not to make a sound. When the eyes got used to the darkness in the room, everyone could vaguely see the huge black shadow sticking out from the hall, just sitting there quietly, as if it was just a background in the darkness.
Just as he was about to reach the gate, there was a sudden "crashing"! I don't know who came across a large vase placed next to a booth.
"Run!" In the darkness, the black mass suddenly more than doubled in size and opened up instantly!
Several people quickly ran out of the gate, rushed out of the front hall before being chased by the roots of the plants, and ran outside the exhibition hall.
Next to the convoy, the left-behind team members were cleaning up the zombies that occasionally smelled "smell". When they saw them running out, they quickly sent out a few people to pick up what they were holding.
"Let's drive this generation first!" With the psychological shadow of the mutant plant before, Guo Bing didn't dare to stay for long, and quickly let everyone get on the bus.
When they just started the car, someone on the walkie-talkie called out, "Something has come out of the convention center!"
A sturdy root came out from the door where several people escaped, and what made the scalp feel numb is that there were bulging things on the vines that looked like small thorns, and they bloomed after they stretched out! !
Pale yellow flowers inlaid with bright gold borders and pink hearts are vying to open, adding a touch of style to this dark apocalypse. But this kind of style is not as simple as letting others enjoy it after blooming. Whether it was He Zizhong or the members of the Samsara team, everyone felt their scalps tingle when they saw this strange plant. The drivers involuntarily increased the accelerator and drove out quickly - escape from here, away from this Wacky plants are as far away as possible!
"How would that plant... attack?" Fang Hao breathed a sigh of relief after the car left the convention and exhibition center and could no longer see the strange flowering plant, and asked He Zizhong with some fear.
He Zizhong shook his head: "It is estimated that not only its roots will attack, but even the flowers themselves should be dangerous, such as pollen, people will faint, hallucinations and so on after inhaling them."
"God... fortunately we didn't go next to it." Fang Hao remembered his experience when he was just at the exhibition center, and his scalp was a little numb.
"It's okay, it's not that these mutant plants can't be vigilant at all. If we see them from a distance outside, we can of course avoid them. I'm afraid we will accidentally encounter them in the building." He Zizhong comforted, even his own My heart was still pounding, and it didn't calm down. Those zombies are terrifying, but because they are similar to humans, they are easier to deal with once they get used to it. But this mutant plant attacks people in a variety of ways, making it hard to guard against.
The convoy drove out of the urban area of M City in one breath, and then stopped outside a destroyed gas station.
After cleaning up a few zombies on the side of the road, everyone gathered around again, taking a break on the roof of the commissary next to the gas station that was more than half destroyed.
The seeds have been taken out again by everyone. It is already dark now. Several people in Samsara are making dinner. Fang Hao also came to help. use.
"That thing today is really weird. After this time, I don't dare to go to places with many seeds." Zhang Xiaoming said while checking the bag of seeds in his hand with an emergency flashlight.
"Don't worry, I don't think there will be many such tasks in the future—they will be able to keep the seeds when the batch of grains in the base comes out." Guo Bing lit a cigarette in pain, smoking it slowly and cherishingly, "This time I only plan to hand over half of this batch of seeds, and the rest will be left in the space of Chen Ning and Xiaole. I always feel that these seeds will increase in value in the future, even if they do not increase in value, in case our team also has plant-based abilities in the future It’s okay to take it and let them plant it and eat it by themselves.”
Everyone laughed, and the emotions that had been tense all day finally loosened up.
He Zizhong also smiled and nodded: "I also think that maybe it will increase in value. It's better to keep it." Of course, the value will increase. The crops in the first stage of the apocalypse still use the original seeds, and the taste is relatively close to the crops before the apocalypse. Taste. But the crops grown from the seeds collected later... The taste is so real that I can barely swallow it with water. If the nutrients in the crops are not relatively rich and can be provided for human consumption, I am afraid that many people would choose to starve to death.
Guo Bing suddenly approached He Zizhong, threw him with his elbows, winked and asked, "Oh, to be honest, are you and Fang Hao this?" kiss" action.
He Zizhong's mouth twitched twice: "He is my lover."
"Ah?!" Zhang Xiaoming, who was checking the seeds, threw away the seeds in his hand with a "squeak" and widened his eyes, "Love, love, love..."
"I love you." Xiao Sun, who was checking the seeds next to him, slapped him, "Isn't it gay? Why do you need to be so excited?"
"I-I just haven't seen a live one..."
"Fuck, your squad leader and the seventh squad leader are a pair, why haven't you met?"
"Hey—?!" Zhang Xiaoming was shocked. He had been with his squad leader for several years, and he thought the squad leader and the seventh squad leader were buddies. Who would have thought... Zhang Xiaoming, whose three views had been re-washed, had crashed and was trying to restart.
Guo Bing touched his chin. He also thought of this when he went to look for He Zizhong after fighting the mutant plants today and saw him holding Fang Hao in his arms. Although he usually jokes about meat and vegetables, to be honest , such a rough man, how could he be careful to observe the gossip around him
However, Chen Ning was not too surprised. He had noticed the pair of rings on He Zizhong's hands before, but he didn't think about it at that time - what kind of clothes and jewelry are people wearing now all have.
"Don't say it, it's a good match." Since the person who was going to molest didn't look embarrassed at all, Guo Bing naturally had no way to continue, and said this casually when Fang Hao helped bring the food, Then he saw Fang Hao was stunned for a moment, then looked at He Zizhong, and blushed after he understood what Guo Bing said to himself.
God, there are still people who blush when they talk about it these days? ! It's so rare!
