Scavenging wasteland in the last days: I have fields, cattle and a villa

Chapter 82 The world is far more complicated than you think

Jiang Yuan thought she heard wrongly, and subconsciously stopped her movements with a look of disbelief.

"Forget it, it's better not to go. It's actually very dangerous to go out of this jungle, and there aren't as many edible wild vegetables there as here, and the plants are poisonous..."

Zhang Hu instantly felt that he was impulsive and waved his hand.

They are just poor people with very weak survival ability. This area is already far away from the slums, and most people don't dare to come. They are already very powerful if they can come here to find food, but it does not mean that they can always break through the limit.

The other side of the jungle is definitely not accessible to them.

Although Jiang Yuan was full of curiosity about that place, she did not have the impulse to follow. If it was not safe, she would rather be trapped in this living area forever.

"Brother Zhang, you said the plants over there are poisonous? What do you mean?"

There are also poisonous plants in this living area. If accidentally cut, it will itch for several days, and may even swell, red and painful, but they are not too toxic and will not kill people.

To be honest, Jiang Yuan wouldn't understand even if she encountered someone who would kill someone.

But she knew that poison was a good thing for weak people.

"Do you know the Giant Pitcher Plant? That thing is deadly. It has a very huge body, and it secretes a nectar-like sap that attracts other animals and plants to come closer to it, and then swallows them in one gulp without spitting out the bones."

Isn't that a piranha?

"The juice has any effect on humans?"

"Of course, it won't completely make people lose their mind, but it will also make people feel dizzy."

Zhang Hu said seriously.

It's so dangerous, why do you still go there often?

"So if you want to go out, you need to carry a lot of medicines, including a type of spray that can resist the effects of this sap."

Seeing that Jiang Yuan looked like she had never seen the world again, Lin Xiao explained to her.

After saying that, Zhang Hu took out the spray from his bag and handed it to Jiang Yuan so that she could see for herself.

The spray is the same size and shape as the sunscreen spray. It comes in a red bottle and comes with instructions and uses.

When used in the wild, it inhibits poisonous venom, prevents mosquito bites, refreshes the mind, and has anti-psychedelic effects. It is a must-have product for traveling in the wild.

"If you want to see the giant pitcher plants, I will take you to see them. On my way to catch the prey, there was a patch of Nepenthes. There were about twenty of them, occupying more than 200 square meters."

Although the pitcher plant was terrifying, it was nothing to Zhang Hu and he was used to it.

But it was really too scary for Jiang Yuan. She didn't want to take any risks, so why not just refuse?

"Okay, let's go take a look."

She thought about rejection in her mind, but her mouth was uncontrollable.

Finally deciding to go, she dragged Lin Xiao and pressed close to him, intending to never leave.

Lin Xiao returned to hold her hand.

"Don't be afraid."

And comforted softly.

"Haha, I know you are very brave, little girl, so let's go, I will take you to see the world."

With that said, Zhang Hu led the way.

It's not like I'm going hunting today, I'm just going to see if there are any wild animals in the traps I've set up, so it's not dangerous.

Under normal circumstances they will not be attacked.

After clearing the jungle, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and followed Zhang Hu. Lin Xiao walked at the end to protect her, which meant that Jiang Yuan was walking in the middle. Even if there were sudden attacks from wild beasts in front and behind, she would at least be the safest.

Outside the reed jungle, it seems like another new world.

Full of expectation and anxiety, Jiang Yuan finally reached the other end of the reed jungle.

But the dreamy forest as imagined did not appear.

There was deathly silence all around. There were no chirping insects or birds, and no giant butterflies flying all over the sky. It seemed that the trees here were thicker and had luxuriant branches and leaves. The branches of a large tree that could only be surrounded by twenty people were intricately intertwined, spreading outward, and weaving together. A huge network.

With the old tree as the center, its branches and leaves are covered within a radius of 500 meters, sheltering thousands of green plants.

Even the sun can't penetrate it, and it's cool under the tree, which is true to the saying, it's easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

If you wander around here when the sun is at its most poisonous, you won't encounter strong radiation, right?

And there are so many wild vegetables under the big trees, there must be a lot to eat.

Didn’t Brother Zhang say everything? There are more wild vegetables outside than inside.

Even if she doesn't have the ability to hunt, it would be good to find more wild vegetables.

Especially not far away, there were clusters of bright yellow flowers that were blooming beautifully and swaying in the wind, as if waving to Jiang Yuan. The beautiful colors made her feel dazed and she couldn't wait to get closer.

But what Lin Xiao said just now came to mind.

"Do you think that's honeysuckle? Let's pick it and make tea for it?"

Honeysuckle is a good thing, and it has a light fragrance.

But she was afraid that what she saw was the poisonous juice secreted by the charming plant that stimulated her brain and tempted her, so she didn't dare to move.

So I asked Lin Xiao for his opinion first.

The two of them looked in the direction pointed by Jiang Yuan, with a hint of helplessness and smile in their eyes.

But she had never been that far from home, and she had never seen these things before, so it was not unusual for her to make a mistake.

"That's heartbroken grass. If you accidentally eat it, you will die immediately."

What? Not food?

Jiang Yuan vaguely remembered that she had read about the herb in the book before. Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs and died after tasting the herb.

It seems that it's because the gutwort looks like food.

It's so dangerous. If you go out alone and mistake the heartbroken grass for honeysuckle, wouldn't you die?

"There are so many poisons here, shouldn't we just pick wild vegetables?"

Don't be too dangerous here.

Jiang Yuan was a little reluctant, or... just follow Brother Zhang to see the world and go back today.

It’s safest to pick wild vegetables inside.

"You can pick, but you can only pick the varieties you know."

There are thousands of plant species, and I only know the ones I often eat, as well as herbal medicines...

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt that her knowledge was too lacking for scavenging.

She suddenly felt sad.

Then Zhang Hu, since he was leading the way, led them to see the giant pitcher plant.

Lin Xiao suddenly moved closer, as if his head was resting on her shoulder.

"When we go to the patrol office to register, we can go to the safe area and buy you a watch, and then buy a small program for identifying plants. When you come out later, just turn on the identification system and it will automatically identify the plants you want to identify."

He seemed to be able to notice her emotions and guess her thoughts at every moment.

Jiang Yuan was moved and even more excited.

"Is there such a small program?"

After 500 years of technological development, it should be possible, but she was still pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, there are more than ten identification applets developed by R&D engineers in the safe zone. Plant recognition is just one of them, and the corresponding one is beast recognition. Almost all animals and plants that have ever appeared in the world are programmed in the app. Got in."

Lin Xiao then explained to her the functions and usage rules of the plant identification applet.
