Chapter 218 Pets(1/2)
You Xi did not leave the Star House rashly.
She opened the door and took a few steps from the stairs to the terrace, looking out along the round glass wall with excellent view.
Because the fixed space of the Star House is in the kitchen of the rooftop restaurant, and this is a landscape restaurant, the kitchen is just at the center of the top floor. Star House is equivalent to standing in the center of the top floor. Standing on the terrace, you can not only see the entire city 360 degrees, but also fully view every corner of the top floor.
The spring rain outside stopped temporarily, but there were layers of rain and clouds in the air, and there were still no stars. The top floor outside the glass was filled with decayed building debris, and only one-third of the walls used to partition collapsed.
She carefully checked every broken wall, but saw no figure. She originally thought that Chen Qiu wanted to fulfill her wish, so she came to find her.
You Xi turned around and went down from the stairs to the simulated apartment. Just as she was about to return to the room, there was a crackling sound outside again. This time she heard the direction of the sound clearly, stepped onto the terrace again, and walked directly to the source of the sound.
At the edge of the building several meters away from the star house, in the shadow of a broken wall, a slender green object was shaking hard.
After a while, the shaking green object sprayed many sharp and hard short thorns on the bricks and stones in the corner of the wall. The thorns gathered the bricks and stones in front and back, making a crackling and subtle sound, which was exactly the sound she had just heard.
You Xi frowned and looked at the green thing. After it fired the thorn, it seemed to be seriously injured. It suddenly stopped and lay motionless in the shadow. No wonder she didn't notice it just now.
You Xi wrapped a long thick sweater outside her pajamas, changed her shoes in the entrance hall, and walked out of the star house.
Almost the moment she came out of the star room, the green thing that was originally beside the broken wall immediately stood up. It tried hard to twist and twist on the spot. After a moment, it pulled out the yellow meridians that were originally stuck in the pile of sand and stones, and then ran towards her.
Youxi:...
This was the first time she saw a walking plant. Those yellow meridians should be their roots. Its rhizomes also changed due to the collective variation of the root system of the plants outside, but the direction of the change was slightly different from that of other plants.
In order to penetrate into organisms to absorb nutrients, other root systems become extremely slender and sharp, but the roots are flat, which seems to be... for walking?!
The small and slender plant quickly moved its roots, flexibly jumping up from various messy building wrecks, jumping off, and finally coming to her.
This is a shrub seedling plant that is only about ten centimeters tall. The stems have no branches. On the top is a small green bud with several leaves growing, bare and without thorns. It looks a bit shattered.
Seeing that she didn't move, it jumped directly onto her shoes, bent down the stems and leaves and rubbed them on her ankles.
Youxi:...
Well, she has recognized it. This is the mutated rose seedling she gave birth to casually yesterday. Although she didn't know what it encountered to become the current ghost, it was obvious that it did the primary condition for her to choose mutated plants as her combat partner: to get rid of the soil.
Compared to the other party's eager appearance, You Xi looked at his white sneakers that were rubbed black with some disgust. He reached out and carried it aside, took out a bottle of water and rushed it to the mutant rose seedlings.
The other party seemed to love cleanliness, and found that the clean water flowed down at a constant speed. He quickly raised the rhizomes, shook the buds and leaves, and let the water wash itself up and down.
You Xi focused on the plant communication and felt the pleasant emotions of the mutated rose seedlings. She put away the water bottle, bent down and stretched out her hand to the seedlings. The other party jumped onto her palms in a flash. Several roots stood firmly in her palms, and several roots were winding and stretched around her wrists, fixing herself firmly on her body, and then continued to rub and rub against her palms.
Youxi:...
Is this... a dog?
However, the other party climbed up to the twenty-fifth floor and came to the door. What else can she do to keep her?
"How did you find me so awesome?"
Mutant rose seedlings: twist and rubbing.
You Xi understood that the other party remembered her breath because she had received her plant powers. However, her breath was interrupted at the top of the building. Star House was another space. As soon as she walked into Star House, her breath disappeared.
In order to attract her, it deliberately fired rose thorns to attract her attention.
Mutant Rose Seedling: Twist and twist...
You Xi looked at the green seedling in her palm and slowly frowned. If she hadn't sensed the error, the other party was so anxious to find her, so he was here to warn her!
She continued to focus on sensing the message conveyed by the green seedlings: destroy...grow...building...all...destroy...
Youxi stood up and walked quickly to the edge of the building. In the night, the plants grew a little slower than yesterday, but it still did not stop.
The slender rhizomes gradually became thicker, and the branches were like huge unfolded umbrellas, piercing the exterior walls of nearby buildings. On some buildings, vines wandered like man-eating pythons, and then twisted them a little bit... The same situation also happened in the building where she was.
Among the climbing vines, some of them extended long and spread to the tenth floor without realizing it. A small half of the entire building has turned completely green, just like wearing a green coat on the exterior wall.
She heard the slight cracking sound of the building walls being unbearable to the pressure. In the distance, there was a loud collapse sound from the building where it was.
Under the twist of the plants, the already precarious building collapsed and fell first.
You Xi frowned. If this situation continues, the survivors who are hiding in the upper floors of the city building will be wiped out.
She closed her eyes and began to sense the plants on the building beneath her feet.
The demand for growth and "nutrients" is still very strong, but it has eased a lot compared to yesterday. She focused her attention and put all the plant abilities on this building.
After a while, the vines outside the building finally began to move, and reluctantly relaxed the force of the twisting of the building. They no longer ignored the random flow of the walls and load-bearing columns, but instead drowned more vines from the already existing doors and windows and hung them.
She can't deal with the huge group for the time being, but if it were just this building, it was still within her control.
At present, she is not sure how many survivors there are in the city and which buildings they are distributed. Some of the nearby buildings are fine, but if they are far away, she can't control the plants there at all.
Divergent assistance is definitely not possible. Perhaps, she should find a way to transfer all the survivors in other buildings.
You Xi felt the mutated rose seedling rubbing against his palm, and reached out to point its small leaves: "Thank you for your warning, my ability is limited. Before the Star House is reset, let's try to see how far it can be achieved."
The survivors on the 14th floor have not slept well these two nights, and the changes in the city are desperate, but compared with the Zhuoyun group that has obtained a lot of new supplies, the Lu Yichen group that has "money ability" and has stockpiled a large amount of goods to this day, the situation of Yan Ya group is obviously worse.
If it were the past, Yan Ya might be able to rely on the teamwork to get some supplies from Zhuo Yun, and Zhuo Yun would also help him ask Lu Yichen if he could get some supplies even.
But now, his girlfriend Mu Kelian has helped him block the road.
That day, after they ran back on the line of life and death, they realized the change in the situation. He didn't know what Mu Kelian had said to Zhuo Yun. Mu Kelian himself refused to say it, and Zhuo Yun was disdainful to say it.
Before the temperature was low, in order to save fuel, everyone dragged out the mattress and quilts and slapped the floor in the hotel lobby where the fire was burned. Although this was warm, so many people were crowded together. Some people sneezed and grinded their teeth at night, and others couldn't sleep well.
Now that the temperature has warmed up, some people can't wait to choose a room near the hall, restore the mattress to its original state, and live together with three and four of them.
So, if anyone doesn't want to see someone, just close the door directly.
When he escaped back to the hotel on the first day, he was quite chaotic, and everyone was still shocked. Yan Ya did not notice the change in Zhuo Yun's attitude towards him. By the time he got back, the golden treatment period had passed.
Zhuo Yun knew that Yan Ya was good at speaking, so she didn't want to see him at all. When he came to knock on the door, he casually found someone to send him off. The man was very clever and knew that Zhuo Yun was too lazy to tell the specific things that happened, but he let the other party know who the person was the one who caused the trouble.
As for the uniform supplies, I’m sorry. In this situation in the city, they don’t have much rations, so they really can’t evenly.
Before?
In the past, it was a team, and from the beginning, both of them all divided Lu Yichen's supplies. Lu Yichen's supplies, Yan Ya's knowledge of animals and plants, and Zhuo Yun's military power value, thus achieving a three-party cooperation.
Although everyone searched together to find a lot of things, everyone worked hard for the three parties to cooperate, and there was no question of who could help anyone.
So after all, Zhuo Yun does not owe Yan Ya's team, or he can go to Lu Yichen to see if he is willing to make the supplies in this situation.
Yan Ya got angry at Mu Kelian after going back that day, not only because she caused trouble, but also because she did not explain clearly what happened afterwards.
It’s a pity that Mu Kelian is used to being self-centered and can’t understand the situation. She always feels that everyone in the team listens to Yan Ya’s, and Zhuo Yun’s breakup is just a lip service. As long as things go through, it’s okay.
Yan Ya got angry, Mu Kelian cried and made a fuss, which showed that he did not believe in others. Otherwise, they would have received the supplies early, and they would have withdrawn them early, and they would not be injured, and they would have reimbursed their protective suits.
Yan Ya was so disgusted with this.
Even if there is a quarrel, the food still has to be eaten. Yan Ya and her group have a bottom-line food, but Mu Kelian has a large bag of food. Everyone knows the importance of food. Even if she is willing to give it to Yan Ya, she will definitely not give it to the others around Yan Ya.
She wasn't crazy. She saved herself this pack of food for at least one week. So many people shared it together and it was gone in two days.
And the food was not what they asked for, but Shen Qiu gave it to her!
But she would never say these words, just sat aside with her schoolbag tightly in her arms and cried.
Yan Ya's companions were very angry. In the past, when they were dealing with plant insects outside to search for supplies, Mu Kelian never missed it. Now they are in trouble. She obviously has something, but she is unwilling to part with it.
In this way, in just one or two days, Yan Ya's small group made the atmosphere stiff.
Chen Qiu, because he returned to the building early, and after Zhuo Yun asked, packed his things and went to her room early.
When Yan Ya came to find Zhuo Yun, Chen Qiu was actually in the room, but from beginning to end, Yan Ya never asked Chen Qiu a question. It can be seen that Mu Kelian, who had been with her day and night, had never mentioned her to Yan Ya at all.
She was not here for a night, how could Mu Kelian not find out?
Even if Mu Kelian was really careless and didn’t notice, what about Yan Ya? He didn’t notice it?
It's just that people are slight, have no value or sense of existence.
Zhuo Yun looked at her from the side and asked her if she didn't regret the pack of supplies she gave to Mu Kelian. Her own small team never distributed the supplies evenly. Whoever found them would belong to them, and whoever refused to work would have no food.
If you can't find food, you can exchange it with force or other items, but you don't want to do anything. You rely on someone's boyfriend and girlfriend to separate the share of people. That's impossible.
Unless his (her) lover is willing to support him (her) and save a share from his (her).
That day she talked to Yan Ya about the matter and did eat a bowl of instant noodles that Yan Yasheng gave her, but she also returned two ham sausages for him.
The situation of Yan Ya's small group is different. Perhaps because Yan Ya is conscious of being a leader and should enjoy privileges, the things found by the small group are always equally divided - even if Mu Kelian has never put any effort into it.
This is also the reason why Zhuo Yun worked with her colleagues all the way but never had a heart-to-heart relationship with her.
Chen Qiu raised his head and shook his head at Zhuo Yun.
There is nothing to regret after giving. Perhaps she always knew what Mu Kelian was, but in the past, in peacetime, no one was perfect, and she herself was not perfect. As long as it had nothing to do with life and death, she didn't like to care about these things.
But now in the end of the world, under the background of life and death, no one can always be the giving party...
Chen Qiu left all the mattress and quilts he used to to have to Mu Kelian. That night, she still couldn't sleep well and woke up before dawn. She used the newly found mouthwash to mix the snow water she had stored before the cap, and carefully held it in her mouth for a long time before vomiting it.
The cool mint smell stayed in her mouth, making her feel better.
She habitually walked to the window and observed the growth of plants outside, but the outward vision quickly stopped.
Chen Qiu rubbed his eyes and looked down again, about ten floors high...what is that?
Fan Qi got up very early, but after going downstairs, she found that her daughter had woken up. She was still wearing pajamas and was sitting cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, lowering her head as if she was teasing something.
To be continued...
