Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Chapter 17 The pain of difficulty breathing (17)

The man in the horn mask took his men and horses to escort the engineering team to knock on the gate of the dungeon.The tires rolled over the gravel and rubble, splashing countless dust, and before it could be lifted into the air, it fell back to the ground.

Blue Dragon shrunk day by day under the ruins and watched them with a self-made periscope. He saw them leaving in big carts and small carts and heading towards the underground city. Then he went out to check. After confirming that no one was staying behind, he sent a signal to Cheng Die.Yu Di and Yan Lin put on their protective clothing and went to the ground with a hoe and a shovel on their shoulders.

The gate of the small park was crookedly rotted on one side. They removed the railings of the wall, inserted these slightly rusted iron bars at the points marked in the schematic diagram, and gradually delineated the length and width of [-] meters according to the range circled by Cheng Die. of ten grids.Each grid is divided into four small units with a length of one meter and a width of one meter. In each small unit will be planted a strong seedling of melon.

Easier said than done to clean up.There were too many sundries and rotting trees on the ground. After delineating the location, Yu Di found that they couldn't even see the railing 20 meters away from the transmission flashlight.

Yan Lin was also quite desperate looking at the large ruins.

"I said, can we just drive over and knock down these rotten trees and drag them away?"

The blue dragon said contemptuously: "Trees can be cut down slowly, and the car is damaged. If something happens in the future, do you have to walk on two legs?"

Yan Lin stopped talking.

Yu Di poked the shovel into the ground and stepped on it—ah, this familiar feeling.

"The embankment of a thousand miles collapses. Ah no, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Don't talk, work."

After finishing speaking, Yu Di buried her head and began to shovel the rotten layer covering the ground.

Yan Lin imitated Yu Di's movements, clumsily and slowly cultivating his grid.As he was doing it, he actually found it interesting.This was a very novel experience. Through the mask of his protective clothing, he saw many rotten but still preserved roots and branches and leaves lying on the side.There seemed to be a faint layer of blue in front of his eyes, which came from the depths of his memory, the impression of this world before he was enlightened.

Yan Lin's always chaotic thoughts suddenly quieted down, except for the rustle of the shovel hitting the ground, only his own breathing and heartbeat.He explored his memories in amazement, and the projection in the dim sunlight seemed to be the mother he relied on when he was young.

Mother.Yan Lin thought, he had already forgotten what she looked like.The person who gave birth to him seemed to be forgotten by him unconsciously.Looking at the soil that was turned over by him, a momentary thought flashed through Yan Lin's mind - in the textbook, the land has also assumed the responsibility of nurturing life, just like I don't remember my mother, human beings will abandon it at some point. Abandoning the land, wantonly using the power to create life, squandering the self-healing ability of this world.

Sweat dripped on the chin, gradually pooling into a small puddle.Blue Dragon looked at the time, they had been cultivating for more than four hours.It is time to take a rest in the shelter, and replenish water by the way, and continue in the afternoon.He walked over and tapped Yu Di on the shoulder, signaling her to go back together, but Yu Di shook his head, signaling that he could continue.

Only then did Lan Long notice that Yu Di's complete grid was only a little smaller than the combined area of ​​him and Yan Lin.

"Why are you so fast?"

Yu Di blew the hair that fell on her cheeks, and the sweat soaked her skin, making her pale skin rosy due to her long-term stay underneath, and it was no longer bloodless.

She straightened up and looked at her hands: "I used to do farm work at school, and I felt strong when I held them."

"Farm work? You mean planting research? Adie's school is top-notch in this area. I have never seen them use this thing. By the way, how did you come up with the idea of ​​embedding two daggers side by side into a wooden stick? Turn around and I Get one too, it looks better than a shovel."

Yu Di smiled and said: "It's just a tool used by people in the past. If you go back and ask Cheng Die, she must know."

The blue dragon watched Yu Di wield the simple homemade hoe vigorously, and had a slightly different view of Yu Di.Originally, in his eyes, Yu Di was just like the students that Cheng Die had brought, a junior, a child, and someone who needed to be taken care of. I feel that Yu Di always has an innocent and childish temperament.But looking at her work today, the familiar and smooth movements, Lan Long suddenly realized that Yu Di never seemed to reveal too much about her past and experiences, and most of these things were told to Cheng Die in private of.

So much so that he only figured out today why Cheng Die wanted to do research with Yu Di.

Yu Di didn't know the inner activities of the blue dragon. After finishing the work under his hands, he put on the sign board, straightened up and stretched: "Ah - I'm exhausted, should I go back?"

Before Lanlong could answer, Yan Lin, who was not far away, ran over and gasped, "Hui, Hui, I'm exhausted. This is more tiring than exercising."

Facing the blue dragon's "weak chicken despise", the three of them returned to the shelter with tools on their shoulders.For the sake of safety, they did not tidy up the collapsed public toilets, but built a cement slab over the entrance hole, and inserted a steel bar underneath, which cannot be opened when it is buckled from the inside, and an iris lock is required to enter from the outside. .

Cheng Die carefully compared the growth of each seedling, and has selected more than 50 observation boxes, and moved them one by one to the third floor for temporary storage. She thinks that the rest will take longer.The three of Yu Di got off the elevator and quickly took off their protective clothing.They haven't been doing heavy physical work on the surface for such a long time, and their bodies feel like they've been drenched in water. Cheng Die brought a pile of bath towels and asked them to clean them up.

The water production capacity of the shelter is not very large. The water that can be used to wipe the body is left over from drinking water. Yudi’s dream of taking a bath has never been realized, and the wet towel is almost the same up.Cheng Die has dry hair and doesn't produce much oil, while Yu Di has oily hair, so when they met, they adjusted their hair length and length. Now Cheng Die is wearing a ponytail, while Yu Di is cut to more than an inch.

After the three of them cleaned up, the freshness in their hearts was over.They were all spread out on their respective beds, not wanting to move at all.Cheng Die looked at Lan Long distressedly, and asked him softly if there was any discomfort in his right limb.Yan Lin had eaten, and had already started snoring with her eyes closed. Although Yu Di seemed to be sleeping, her thinking was very clear.

"System, you said that I came here, did you arrange it, or was it destined?"

"I dropped out of school after two years of study. I don't take advanced knowledge into my head. The only skill I know is planting land. But I just happened to enter the end of the world where I need to plant land. You must have done it, right?"

"If this world survives and my mission is successful, can all future worlds be chosen according to my existing skills? For example, to save the world by cooking or something"

Thinking about it, she laughed to herself.

"This world is the first one I entered. I should be protected by novices, right? That's why there is Cheng Die who has been reborn 340 times and is very friendly to me, right? Is that so? "

"Isn't this the so-called novice aura? How many worlds can this aura last? I can do it again because it's the first time, right?"

"It's getting more and more difficult, what to do? It's so stressful."

"Why does this world ask you for help? Why do you let me come? Tell me."

"What are you? My world, where I came from, is it actually the same as this world? It is also a 'place to do tasks'. Then what is my existence?"

The system was almost annoyed by Yu Di's questions, and directly blocked Yu Di's stream of consciousness.Yu Di only felt that there was an empty space in her mind, staring blankly at the ceiling until Cheng Die called her to get up and eat.

"I will be able to prepare all the seedlings to be transplanted in the morning of the next day or so. You guys have to work hard tomorrow to clean up the land. We'd better keep planting at the same time and observe closely for a while after transplanting." It takes time to relax." Cheng Die rubbed her sore eyes and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's worth it." Yan Lin stretched his muscles aside, and interjected, "It's worth it."
