Chapter 217 Everything Grows(1/2)

[Outstanding Jinjiang Literature City] (including 16w, 165w nutrient solution plus update)

Outside the shopping mall, the rain stopped.

Ten minutes after Yan Ya and his group went upstairs, You Xi, who was originally leaning against the wall, suddenly turned back to Chen Qiu: "Are you going now?"

She asked whether the other party had taken a shortcut to get supplies. When Chen Qiu heard this, he immediately nodded at her and then turned around to look at the others.

Mu Kelian hugged the backpack in front of her, took a step back, and told the other party that he was very alert and would not go.

Zhuo Yun, who was sitting beside him, frowned and thought, got up and let other partners wait, and said that she would go in first. One of the boys seemed to be close to her, and took her hand and said a few words, but Zhuo Yun was impatiently pushing her away.

She held the long iron stick that was resting beside her: "Go."

Chen Qiu looked at Mu Kelian again: "Kelian, I can't explain to you for the time being, but believe me, go with me! Didn't you say you want to get a lot of delicious food?"

Mu Kelian shook her head: "Aya doesn't believe in her, and I don't believe in her either. Also, if you still think I'm a friend, don't go."

Chen Qiu can understand and understand that being vigilant in the end of the world is a good thing. But from the beginning, it was Yan Ya's own idea to think that the other party was fully equipped and to judge that she was going out alone to seek supplies, wanting to follow her to leverage, or even take the initiative to propose cooperation.

In the end, Yan Ya was also wary of distrust and refused to give directions.

If you really don’t trust this way, why bother to cooperate at the beginning? Others are not obliged to help solve the problem of trust.

In Shen Qiu's opinion, if you are highly vigilant, you should plan slowly with your partners at the beginning, act on your own, and not count on others. Yan Ya is very smart, but sometimes she is too confident and only believes in her own judgment, while Mu Kelian blindly trusts Yan Ya like this.

Mu Kelian's family is well-off and is protected too well. She is accustomed to being self-centered. Even if the end of the world comes, because Yan Ya and her are protected, she has never suffered any great hardships. She always likes to use Yan Ya's judgment as her own standard, and even escapes reality and is unwilling to think, but is just pure dependence.

If we change our position today, if Mu Kelian is extremely determined to make her believe in herself, she will definitely choose to believe it.

Chen Qiu felt a little disappointed in his heart. She and Mu Kelian have known each other for so long, and have studied and ate together, shared the joy and sadness in life. They are as close as sisters, but they are not able to compete with her and Yan Ya's love for several months...

She stopped persuading her, picked up her weapon and followed Zhuo Yun.

Behind him was Mu Kelian's angry voice, saying that the two of them will no longer be friends from now on...

Chen Qiu did not speak or look back, and took a step into the vine-intensive area.

It is impossible to say that Chen Qiu is not afraid at all. There are so many plants around her, she is actually very nervous and doesn’t even dare to breathe. But the vines around her that would have been entangled when they saw people in the past were really motionless!

Zhuo Yun looked calm on the surface, but was also shocked inside. When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the checkout area successfully, she stretched out her hand to You Xi generously. "Hello! I am Zhuo Yun!"

You Xi shook hands with the other party, smiled and said, "Hello, I am... a fairy godmother."

"..." Zhuo Yun pulled off her mask and showed a cracked expression, "What?"

Chen Qiu whispered beside him: "Sister said she is the fairy godmother..."

Zhuo Yun:...

Because this shopping center covers a large area, there is no need to build a supermarket underground. All underground parking spaces are available, and there are parking spaces on the roof. You can directly circle the driveways on both sides of the building.

The supermarket occupies a corner of the first to second floors of the shopping center. The entrance is on the second floor. Most of the packaged cooked food, convenience food, snacks, home appliances, and furniture products are on the second floor.

The first layer is fresh and refrigerated food such as fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, eggs, and milk, as well as some imported snacks. However, most of these supplies were emptied as early as the beginning of the apocalypse, and the remaining ones were broken for such a long time.

The supermarket was occupied by plants for a long time, and the circuit had been interrupted. It was pitch black inside, with dead leaves of plants everywhere, and a thick layer fell. When people stepped on it, they would make a crisp sound of shattering.

Even with masks, they can smell the rotten food. Fortunately, the low temperature has just passed, and there are still only three or four degrees outside. The rotten smell is not yet unbearable.

Zhuo Yun's flashlight had no battery long ago. She took out a lighter to light it. Chen Qiu didn't even have a lighter, looking for dead branches everywhere to borrow fire.

Seeing this, You Xi threw a flashlight to them, and he carried a small camping lamp. Then, in the thanks of the two, he signaled them to move quickly, get what they needed, and then leave here and go back to the building where they had taken refuge.

Chen Qiu noticed a different atmosphere: "Sister, is there something wrong with it?"

In the dizzy light of the camping light, You Xi's eyes were filled with solemnity: "We'd better return to the building before the next heavy rain comes."

"What will happen in the next heavy rain?" Zhuo Yun also felt the tense atmosphere.

"If you believe me, I will do it as soon as possible."

Zhuo Yun paused for two seconds and looked back at Chen Qiu. Chen Qiu quickly nodded hard at her.

"Okay, thank you! We will be as soon as possible!" Zhuo Yun said, immediately grabbed Chen Qiu and ran to the upper floor of the supermarket.

The plants on the upper floors of the supermarket are denser than those on the downstairs, with dense vines hanging on the ceiling and walls, some of which are hanging from above and wrapped around the shelves.

This scene made Zhuo Yun and Shen Qiu subconsciously take light action, but after taking tentative steps, they found that these vines did not react to their entry.

This place is a long way from the escalator that Yan Ya and his group took, and they have to take several turns during this period. The passage leading to the entrance there was completely blocked by plants. From a distance, it looked green and the types of plants seemed to be different from theirs.

For some reason, the entire second-layer plants seemed to be gathering here, crowded together.

There were indeed still leftover supplies on the shelves. They even saw instant noodles and canned meat scattered on the ground, and successfully found batteries of different models from the appliance area. The two of them acted separately, moved their backpacks to their front and opened the zipper, picking useful things and stuffing them into them desperately.

Canned meat, vacuum food, knives, batteries, spare flashlights, small medical bags, changing underwear, sanitary napkins, scattered tissues... They have not missed all the small and very needed supplies.

The things here are too messy, garbage is piled up, and the things are scattered in scattered places, but even a crushed chocolate is a huge receipt for them.

They also found several student schoolbags on a shelf, and each took one and continued to put supplies inside.

Considering that he was still waiting for his partner outside, Zhuo Yun greeted Shen Qiu, and finally increased his speed and stuffed some supplies into his backpack, and then went downstairs at a speed of 100 meters.

Several people were relieved to see her coming out. The boy who had pulled her hand away before was not angry and went forward to get something for her.

"I'll give you ten minutes, run in, go up the second floor and pack your backs! Immediately!" Her friends were the ones she used to form her own team and knew her very well. Seeing that she gave orders so seriously, she immediately stopped talking and rushed into the vine area.

Seeing this, Mu Kelian couldn't help feeling anxious, worried that Yan Ya would not dare to go upstairs and wanted to take supplies but couldn't take them down and followed them. She stood there, stomping her feet anxiously.

At this moment, footsteps and people came from outside, and survivors from other nearby buildings came over.

The people in this troop are more embarrassed than the student team. They don’t even have protective clothing. They are all covered in dust and have a pale complexion. You can tell that they have been hungry for a long time, just by looking at their appearance.

As soon as they entered the shopping center, they saw Mu Kelian standing there and Zhuo Yun holding weapons. They stopped and looked at them vigilantly.

When the two sides confronted each other, You Xi's voice sounded: "Are you here to find supplies? Turn left and pass through the vine area, and you can go directly from the supermarket checkout area."

She got an advertising plaque from somewhere, and put the picture-free side towards the entrance of the shopping mall, then took out a brush and a small can of red pigment from her backpack and began to apply it to the white cardboard.

The group of people looked at each other and didn't react for a moment.

You Xi drew an arrow to the left on the cardboard and looked back at them: "There is still food inside. Remember, don't take the initiative to attack any plants, and don't have bloodshed because of the competition for supplies. You can go in and out safely."

After You Xi finished speaking, he signaled Zhuo Yun’s backpack.

Although the pedestrian was confused, he could clearly hear the word "food". Coupled with the two bulging backpacks on Zhuo Yun's body, he finally realized.

"Go, Brother Kun?" someone asked vigilantly.

"Let's go! Your parents and my daughter are almost starving to death, so what else are you concerned about!" The man tightly held the rusty kitchen knife in his hand. This was the only sharp weapon in the entire team, but after thinking about it, he untied the scarf on his neck and wrapped it up, and then went to the damaged building nearby to find a steel pipe and held it in his hand. Then he led a team of people to rush into the vine area.

Zhuo Yun watched the back of the people and smiled: "It's quite smart." The other party should have listened to You Xi's suggestion. He knew that kitchen knives are powerful tools after all, and it is easy to hurt plants and others, but he didn't want to be prepared at all, so he picked up the steel pipe.

You Xi wrote very quickly, striving to be eye-catching and clear, and wrote clearly what he told the team before on the standing card, and then placed the standing card at the entrance.

Not long after the pedestrian entered, Shen Qiu came out, and she also ran out, carrying two heavy backpacks, and had a piece of clothing tied to the backpack strap. She pulled down her mask and gasped as soon as she stood.

After a while, the people who followed Zhuo Yun came out and almost all returned home with a full load.

In this world, supplies are the confidence. They never expected that this trip would be so easy and easy to get food and use, and everyone had joy on their faces.

Seeing that Zhuo Yun had all the people coming in, You Xi urged them to go back first: "It should be safe on the road at the moment. You can go back first before it rains."

Before Zhuo Yun could speak, Mu Kelian shouted: "You can't go back! Aya and the others have not come out yet!"

You Xi listened again to the situation above. The people had not yet approached the supermarket entrance and were trapped in the maze of green plants outside.

However, they are still lucky. At least they have not met the "big guys" from the upper class. Of course, it may also be related to those "big guys" who eat vegetarian food or not meat.

Otherwise, with the strength of their noses she had seen before, Yan Ya and the others would be rolled out in minutes and gnawed them clean like mutant plant fruits.

Zhuo Yun had some conflicts. Her important partners were around and her supplies were obtained, but it seemed a bit unreasonable to leave Yan Ya and leave her back.

Yan Ya is a smart person and has courage. However, many times he doesn't listen to other people's opinions and likes to focus on his own judgment.

Just like just now, I never thought about discussing with her, so I directly assigned the task.

Seeing that Zhuo Yun didn't speak, Mu Kelian couldn't help but feel anxious: "You guys talk, you can't do this. It's obvious that everyone came together, but you wanted to leave with the supplies, but Aya and the others were still on it... Qiuqiu, you also say something..."

"The situation has changed. If you have taken the supplies, go back first. Don't wait until it rains. Otherwise, even I may not be sure to protect you." You Xi reminded again, although his tone was light, it showed a calmness.

A moment ago, You Xi received some information from the seeds all over the city.

Outside the shopping mall, under the cement ruins, the dense seeds she had felt had revived. They longed for growth, they longed for rain. This desire made them restless.

It is April, the spring of the revived plants. The plants that once covered the entire city overnight in autumn and winter. What changes will happen in the seasons that truly belong to them?

There are too many seeds in the plant, and once it breaks out, it is impossible for her to control it.

Shen Qiu had seen the magical ability that disappeared instantly. That time, she was in thin clothes and could smile all the way while staying in the low temperature of more than 20 degrees below zero. But now, she looked safe outside, but she showed such a vigilant expression.

This made Shen Qiu feel deeply uneasy.

Zhuo Yun could also feel an unusual tension. She frowned and said to a companion beside her, "Go up to the stairs and take a look, be careful, don't get too close."

The man put down his backpack, took his weapon and rushed up the escalator several steps, and then rushed down after a while: "Senior sister, there are indeed no plants near the entrance of the stairs, but other places - especially the direction near the supermarket passage is full of vines. Those vines will move, and there are many brightly colored flowers. Some of them cannot be seen as a variety, and some are - carnivorous flowers..."

"Where is Aya? Where is Aya and the others?" Mu Kelian rushed forward.

"I didn't see them."

Zhuo Yun held the weapon tightly: "Then we--"

Her words were interrupted by howling, and Mu Kelian seemed to collapse: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! You are too selfish and stay in a safe place, but let Aya and the others go up and take risks! You use Aya to let him be your flesh shield and explore the way for you! You bitch, you rely on your beauty, and hook up with men everywhere to work hard for you, shameless-"

A crisp slap broke Mu Kelian's crying. The slap was heavy and fast, and directly obscured her: "You, you, you... you hit me?"

The answer to her was another slap. This time the force was even heavier. She couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground, and her whole right face was swollen.

"Yes, you are the one who beats you. I have been tolerating you for a long time." Zhuo Yun loosened his fingers, which were numb and sneered at her: "You have shit in your mind? I asked them to go up? I use him? I hook up with men? Mu Kelian! Do you have nothing else in your mind except men? Do you dare to call me a bitch? Is there anyone in this team who is more despicable than you?

He opened his mouth and cried. Yan Yaduo looked at any girl and you were going to run to others for a moment! Do you think Yan Ya is you who keeps a dog! Why don’t you put a rope around his neck?

It’s like this outside now. From leaving school to now, have you made any contribution to this team? Have you found the same supplies? Have you killed a bug? You almost burned the room even if you make a fire! Like you, you only know how to eat and not work, and you have the right to be full of waste that only men are all over your mind?!"

Since Zhuo Yun spoke, she never thought about ending again: "Tell you, I originally planned to take my partner up to save Yan Ya and the others just now. We are finally in the same team. Since we came out together, we should go back together! But now, I really want to thank you, idiot, for successfully letting me give up the idea of ​​saving people! If he survived this time, tell him for me that the team will cooperate until the end, and we will break up the group!"

After she scolded, she turned around and called her companions to leave. She turned around and saw Shen Qiu standing on the side. She spoke in a bad tone: "What do you say, leave your good friend with you, or follow us?"
