Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 423 The first step of planting, putting the seeds in the soil

More than two years after human activity ceased entirely, the planet's skies look surprisingly clear and blue.

Under the spread of vines and weeds, the abandoned city is gradually painted with shades of green.Groundwater seeps out from the cracks, gurgling and converging into several streams between the red bricks of the old sidewalk; whenever the wind blows, the sky will be pushed to the sky with clouds of pure white .

Without humans, the planet began to present a unique and barren beauty.

The wind was getting stronger, and the vision was divided into several strands by the blown hair. Ji Shanqing brushed his hair away and glanced at Lin Sanjiu beside him.

"Sister, do you want to go down?" He said, looking down at the street nearly a hundred meters below: "It's a bit cold on the roof, after all, you haven't eaten for a week."

"It's okay." Lin Sanjiu smiled at him, and then her thoughts obviously drifted to another place: "What do you think... what will it be like in that copy?"

Ji Shanqing faintly admired her for being able to ask this question when she was about to enter the arena.The question had actually been on his mind for a week, but all he could do at the moment was shake his head.

"Anyway, it would be great if it can really replenish energy—even if there are other conditions." He sighed softly.

When Lin Sanjiu just got the number plate, the two didn't just wait obediently like this.No matter what happened, the solution was still reliable in my own hands—so under Lin Sanjiu's suggestion, the two of them tried many ways to eat, but none of them succeeded.

If the two conditions of "completely sealed" and "vacuum" are not met at the same time, [Nostradamus Card] can be almost useless - the card has a limited capacity, and even the particles on a piece of cake occupy its total capacity 4.5% of that, it is impossible to completely absorb all the particles contained in the air in a space-not to mention the new air that seeps in through tiny gaps.

Ji Shanqing suspected that the crypt granules might only react when in contact with gastric juice, so he had an idea: if Lin Sanjiu was given glucose intravenously, it would be able to sustain it.It's just that this method can't provide comprehensive nutrition, and the end of the world has come for more than two years. It must be very difficult to find materials that can replace food, so even if you can pay more attention in the future, you still have to rely on "" Harry's Farm" No.

Seeing that this road failed, the two of them turned their attention to "Harry Farm".

According to Farmer Harry, there are seven other people waiting to be "planted" in front of Lin Sanjiu.However, after careful inspection of the surrounding environment, they still did not find any traces of evolutionists—in fact, even though the two had taken turns to monitor the entrance of Harry's Farm, they still found nothing, and no one was seen entering or leaving at all.

As a result, it was impossible to find anyone to inquire about "Harry's Farm".

Perhaps this is also the reason why Lin Sanjiu insisted on staying on the roof—looking down from here, you can just see most of the vast and neat farm, as well as the farmer Harry who is as small as an ant—the latter’s daily actions It's very simple, even going back and forth between the hut and the farmland alone, I can't tell when he "planted a person" at all.

... With a hint of anxiety, when the seventh day was almost halfway through, the text on Lin Sanjiu's number plate finally changed from "Firstinline" to "Currentone".

When we came to the gate of Harry's farm again, farmer Harry was already waiting in front of the hut with a shovel.

"Hahaha I'm sorry, the last seed was a bit difficult, so it took a long time... This shovel? Don't worry, this is just for show." His laughter sounded needlessly hearty, and He gestured for Lin Sanjiu to follow him, and then looked at Ji Shanqing again: "... This, um, this friend, shouldn't be planted, right? Do you want to follow?"

Ji Shanqing thought for a while, and said with a smile: "If it's okay, I want to watch my sister be planted."

"Of course." Harry unexpectedly agreed, "It's just that the planting process is not very interesting, and some people find it boring."

"You said the planting process..." Lin Sanjiu hurriedly stepped up and asked, "What's going on? Can you tell me the process in detail?"

Harry scratched his face, it seemed that the new stubble was tickling him: "Of course it's okay, I'll explain it when I get into the room, and you will understand better... Ah, come on, come in, you're welcome."

While talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the hut, and Harry stepped up the steps first, and opened the door for the two of them.Lin Sanjiu and Libao looked at each other suspiciously, and finally walked in.

...Even though they had thought about what Harry's hut would look like many times, the two were still taken aback by what they saw.

There is neither a log floor nor a fireplace for heating; such furniture as sofas, rugs, dining tables, etc. are almost nothing-in fact, in the whole house, as far as the eye can see, there are only A thing.

a pit.

Surrounded by wooden walls on all sides, there is a fresh and moist earth.As soon as she opened the door and came in, Lin Sanjiu was caught off guard and almost slipped into the deep pit—she quickly stabilized her feet, and then carefully led Ji Shanqing over from the edge of the pit.

On the other side of the pit was a hill of dirt; judging from the color of the uppermost layer, the pit seemed to have been dug just once.Lin Sanjiu bent down and looked towards the bottom of the pit, but even with her eyesight, she couldn't see where the deep and dark bottom led to.

"Is the number plate given to you still there?" Harry put down the shovel and turned around to ask.

"Yes," Lin Sanjiu hurriedly called out the number plate. Just as he was about to hand it over, Harry waved his hand and said, "Don't give it to me. Remember this. It must be hung around your neck the whole time, even in your pocket." It doesn’t work here. Only with it, you are a seed, a plant, without this number plate, you are just a person buried alive in the ground.”

Lin Sanjiu was chilled by his own imagination, and hurriedly hung up the number plate.

However, Harry felt that he hadn't fully explained the seriousness, so he emphasized: "The number plate is the key to your life. This deep pit is the channel for seeds to enter the earth. After you go down here, if you have number plate, then you will feel that your activities and breathing are the same as when you are on the ground. But even if the number plate leaves you for half a second, you will find that your whole body is pressed under the ground, and you cannot even move ;Even if the number plate will be returned immediately, there will be countless thick soils between you and you-at that time, you will wish that you are an ordinary person with no ability, because you will die faster this way.”

"As a farmer, can't you do something?" Ji Shanqing asked with a pale face.

"I'm a farmer, and I only manage my crops," Harry responded immediately, "...you need a gravedigger to dig up dead people."

"Then... as a seed, I just need to jump from here?" Lin Sanjiu pressed the number plate tightly with one hand, and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: Maybe there are still people nearby who have not been ransacked. hospital...

Of course, it is probably too late to mention glucose now.

Harry squatted down, patted the edge of the deep pit, and seemed to be signaling her to climb down along the edge of the pit: "Almost...after you go down, you will see a passage, follow it straight, and you will be able to walk into my There is a place reserved for you on the farm. When you are in place, I will start a series of work such as filling the soil and watering... In order to prove that you are a good seed, remember to try to get as many resources as possible, so that you can Successfully took root and sprouted in the soil."

Lin Sanjiu frowned, not knowing why these words made him feel a little concerned.It's just that when she looked up, she saw several imaginary characters and Ji Shanqing pondering and didn't speak, so she changed her mind and asked, "And then? Can I not move after rooting?"

"Oh, the so-called rooting and sprouting is just an indication of your state, and it doesn't mean that your body will really take root." Harry showed her a mouthful of snow-white teeth, "What is your physical strength now? It’s the same as it was at the seed stage; after you enter the rooting state, you will slowly feel stronger. What you have to do after breaking the ground is the same thing: absorb as much nutrition as possible, and mature as soon as possible.”

"How do I absorb—"

"I will tell all the seeds about the situation in detail throughout the whole process to help you." Harry interrupted her with a smile, "After all, it would take too long to talk about it here... There are several seeds behind you."

"I do have a question." While Lin Sanjiu was hesitating, Ji Shanqing said, "...Although I know this is a dungeon, what benefits can you get from planting?"

Harry was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "My advantage is that I can continue to exist like this—no matter how."

In other words, does he have to do this due to the limited copy type?Just as Lin Sanjiu thought of this, he heard Marseille's voice next to his ear: "...such a dungeon is really rare."

"Sister," when she was still immersed in her thoughts, Ji Shanqing called her softly from the side.Lin Sanjiu looked up, and the gift bag looked strangely serious.

"After you go down, be careful. This is the best way for us right now - if you don't have to eat for a few months, then your new potential value will be more and more, and you will soon be completely Back to normal," he said in a low voice, as if he didn't want Harry to hear. "...I'll wait for you to come out in the building where we hid before."

Lin Sanjiu nodded.Now that she has made up her mind to do this, she feels that it is useless to worry about this and that at this time, she is a useless mother-in-law-she will just watch what the next day will play.Therefore, her own tone was much lighter: "Be careful yourself, find some more clothes to wear, and take the things I gave you."

After saying goodbye to the gift bag, Lin Sanjiu climbed down the pit little by little.

When I was on the top, I already felt that the pit was scary deep, but when I really came down, I realized its steepness and depth.After climbing down for a while, the light above her head suddenly dimmed; she was not physically strong at the moment, and she didn't step on it firmly, so she fell down with a "boom"—during the rolling process, she still fell down. Faintly heard Ji Shanqing screaming from above.

Fortunately, the soil here is very soft, and there are no stones, and the deep pit is in the shape of a funnel; when Lin Sanjiu managed to stabilize his body, he didn't feel any pain except for the messy ground in front of him. Injury—feeling that the number plate on her chest was still there, after she raised her head and shouted "I'm fine", she didn't hear Ji Shanqing's response for a long while, presumably the place she was in was already deep.

It took another 10 minutes before Lin Sanjiu finally stepped on the ground and took out [Ability Polishing Compound].

The place where she was was happened to be a small earthen room, connected to the slope she had come from.If you look up, you will find that the light coming through the hole at this time is hardly as big as a fist.

Holding up the [Ability Polishing Agent] and looking around, Lin Sanjiu really quickly found a narrow passage.After turning on the pure touch state, she held up the silver light in her hand and got into the corridor.

...Thinking about it now, Harry's instructions can be called extremely vague.

Lin Sanjiu thought as he walked along the corridor.

What will happen when you reach the designated position?Drenched head and face by soil and water?In this way, we can get nutrition...?
She has experienced many strange dungeons, but this one confuses her the most.

Holding the silver light and walking for a while, Lin Sanjiu's footsteps suddenly slowed down.

It can be found almost without using the pure touch state at all, the corridor in front of it does not extend very far and reaches the end, from the small hole at the end, there are faint human voices and faint lights coming from this moment.

Her footsteps were obviously so light that it was almost silent, but the noise coming from the hole suddenly became quiet.

"A newcomer is here!"

A crisp female voice sounded immediately - and then, before Lin Sanjiu could react, a figure poked out from the entrance of the cave.

Under the shining silver light, a girl with an oval face met her eyes.Hastily smiled at Lin Sanjiu as if she was dealing with it, and she quickly retracted her head; then, Lin Sanjiu heard her say to the cave in a voice that was not concealed: "The first Eight people are women! Are you happy now?"
