Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1718 Natural Botanical Garden

...it's no coincidence.

While pretending to concentrate on looking at the map, Lin Sanjiu's mind had already wandered to nowhere.It feels like walking beside her is another self; she once saw the world through Wu Yiliu's eyes, struggled to save her fate with his hands, and when the heavy rain hit him, she was also shivering from the cold.But to Wu Yiliu, she is just a stranger without warmth.

She was so dazed that once, when the wind blew Wu Yiliu's hair, she almost reached out to help him brush it away.

Although Lin Sanjiu restrained her impulse in time, Wu Yiliu seemed to have noticed something strange, and while maintaining her politeness, she looked at her probingly.

"You look a bit like a friend I knew before," Lin Sanjiu knew that he must not make him suspicious, so he naturally explained with a smile.

"Perhaps ordinary-looking people are more similar." Wu Yiliu also replied with a polite smile.

To say that he is ordinary seems to be correct from a certain point of view - he obviously does not like to plunder other people's attention, and prefers to wear this "ordinary" as a coat on his body.

Unlike the young man who was sitting in the forest on a rainy night, the house is dry, light and cool now.Even when he occasionally laughed, the expression in his eyes was as distant and indifferent as the silent thin clouds on the distant mountains.When he moved, he was as calm as the wind moving the shadow of the cloud, and soon people would relax their nerves, almost forgetting or getting used to his existence.

It's not easy for him to impress people at first glance; this is why Lin Sanjiu didn't pay much attention to him before recovering his memory.

But now, Lin Sanjiu quietly took in all the details of his body: his hair was grown longer than before, scattered around his ears and neck, with soft curls; a few pale white scars stretched from his neck He was wearing the most common loose-fitting blouse and black jeans, and if he hadn't been wearing all kinds of strange gadgets wrapped around his hands, he could have disappeared into the road of the pre-apocalyptic world without a trace among the crowd.

Lin Sanjiu noticed just now that among the small items on his hand that could not be seen to have any function, he was still wearing a dull silver ring with an ordinary appearance.

"Have you found the direction?" Wu Yiliu asked suddenly, bringing her back to her senses.

When she said goodbye to Fengzhen, neither of them thought that Lin Sanjiu had just arrived and didn't know the way back.She had to go back to the building where she piloted the aircraft to land before she could make her way back to Exodus with the help of Shales; according to the receipt given to her by the parking lot, she knew the name of the destination building, but she had to rely on the map Only then did I know how to go.

"I don't walk in the clouds most of the time," Wu Yiliu explained apologetically when she asked her earlier, "so I'm not familiar with the road here."

Lin Sanjiu was not surprised by this at all.

She has never had this kind of misunderstanding, and she really thought that Wu Yiliu was a craftsman.

Since he is not a businessman who needs to come and go, it is normal for him not to be familiar with the journey; but she has to act surprised and regretful, because before returning to Exodus, Lin Sanjiu can't show her feet and let him Seeing that she knew where he was coming from—even though she thought she was in a trance, maybe she had already given it away.

Not long after recognizing Wu Yiliu again, she thought about it and felt that only in Exodus could she really be sure to trap Wu Yiliu.

After all, Exodus can take off from the ground at any time, enter the sky, and there is Shales as a monitor and guard; except for Exodus, no matter where—in the building, on the road, in the dungeon—she is not sure that she can survive without harming him. Down, trap him, so that he doesn't escape and counterattack.

For someone else, throwing Ah Quan's dungeon would be enough to solve the problem; but Lin Sanjiu knew very well that this trick might not work against Wu Yiliu.

Even if she was indeed a bit quick-witted, she was not arrogant enough to think that she could handle Wu Yiliu.This kid—for Lin Sanjiu, Wu Yiliu will always be the young kid who hasn't graduated from college—he has a flexible mind and a careful mind. Under the impact of a hundred thoughts and thoughts, he remained calm.

Lin Sanjiu would never act hastily unless it was the home court where he had an absolute advantage.

Thinking about it carefully, she couldn't even determine how Wu Yiliu's current combat power compares with her own.

He left a very weak first impression, and it was also matched with a combat power that seemed not enough to make people alert; only when she began to think about Wu Yiliu carefully, did she have doubts about his indifferent and harmless temperament—— —It seems to be surrounded by thick layers of milky white mist, and the bottom cannot be seen.

This made her more cautious.Facing a careful and witty person, it was not easy to disguise her true intentions. She quickly determined what she should do to let him go back with her at ease—simple, natural, just tell the truth; you can’t tell the truth part, simply do not say.

"Oh, we should go from the natural botanical garden next," Lin Sanjiu replied with a smile, clicked on the map on the wall, and said: "My aircraft is in the parking lot of this building...Look, The botanical garden seems to be the closest way."

When Wu Yiliu just heard her say that he needed to take an aircraft to get to the work place, he thought for a few seconds suspiciously before nodding his head—Lin Sanjiu looked at him with a funny expression: she was very sure , his doubts were all false.Even if she told him that the place of work is below the smog layer, I'm afraid he would still nod, right?

She did not expect that a place called "Natural Botanical Garden" had nothing to do with nature or plants.

"This... is this the botanical garden?" When Lin Sanjiu and Wu Yiliu followed the crowds into the tall green glass door of the botanical garden, she looked around and glanced from the rows of boxes under the shed, unable to bear it. Surprised: "Where are the plants?"

Not far away, a big brother with a square face who was squatting under the awning happened to hear her words, pointed to his side, smiled and casually said: "Isn't it growing in a pot?"

Lin Sanjiu stared at the basin at his feet, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

If you use a bit of imagination and set the standard very loosely, then indeed, it seems that you can barely see that it is a "plant"-long strips of steel bars growing out of the pot soil, isn't it? Like the stems of plants?Don't the iron-colored squares hanging on the ends of the steel bars look like leaves of plants?
"What the hell is this..." She wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. She looked at the flower pot and found a label on it that said "construction site".

She can still guess without a label, but with a label, she is even more confused.

Beside the big brother with a square face, there are several identical terracotta flower pots surrounding him.Not only around him, but looking around, there are different numbers of terracotta flowerpots with the same appearance sitting under each pergola; the only difference is the "plants" in each flowerpot.

Some pots protrude a straight black wooden pole, the wooden pole is full of thorns, and small, invisible "fruits" hang on the thorns; ", each fluffy leaf is a small round bead that is cloned-on the flower pot, there are often various labels, from "construction site" to "eye of jealousy", different And feet.

The botanical garden does not occupy a large area, there are not many pergolas, but there are many people; among the endless stream of people, there are faces looking back and forth and scanning the "plants".On the far right side of the botanical garden against the wall, there is a gazebo with a "buy flowerpot" sign.

"The flower pot is a one-time item, specially used for multiple duplication. It is the exclusive sign of the Rainforest Group and one of their main sources of income." Wu Yiliu opened his mouth in a timely manner and asked, "Do you know the majority duplication?"

Lin Sanjiu looked bewildered.

"It's very simple. Taking this flower pot as an example, as long as the special item planted in it meets the conditions, a plant will grow; when the plant grows and matures, it will produce more of the same special item."

For Wu Yiliu, this seemed to be a very ordinary and natural matter, and his tone did not fluctuate much; on the contrary, Lin Sanjiu raised his voice five degrees in surprise: "Huh? Can you copy more items? How many are planted? Is there such a good thing?"

Wu Yiliu smiled politely. "Their group produces at most dozens of flower pots a year, so the influence is mainly limited to the two twelve realms. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"Then...every one that grows is a special item?" Lin Sanjiu walked a few meters along the arbor, and had to pull his gaze away from the previous plant before he could immerse himself in the next one. plant. "It seems to be very small... Are the effects and powers the same as the original items?"

"It's all the same," Wu Yiliu replied patiently, "But the fruit can no longer be planted in the flowerpot. Oh, this one is good."

Lin Sanjiu followed his gaze and found that there was a small tree in the flowerpot, but only five or six branches had grown there. The branches were about as long as a girl's forearm. Pretty little houses with peaked roofs and whitewashed walls; the flowerpots are labeled "Superior Mobile Homes."

The small house has attracted the attention of several people, but to Lin Sanjiu, it is really tasteless.She let out a "hmm" from her nose, and continued to walk forward without stopping; Wu Yiliu seemed very interested in it, looked at it for a few more times, and then followed and sighed: "Unfortunately, a mobile home must be very interesting." Expensive. Walking in the clouds, ordinary housing is almost unaffordable... Where do you live?"

Lin Sanjiu thought for a while and said, "Da Yu Ji, have you heard of it?"

Wu Yiliu turned his head and looked at her, showing an almost tolerant smile.

"...Since when did you know that I am not a craftsman?"
