Rebirth in the End of the World: What’s Wrong with Me Being in Love?
Chapter 15: Exchange
After dinner, Xu Yao returned to the tree house.
Looking around, the trees on the distant mountains have begun to turn yellow and wither, but the green plants on their mountain are still green and full of vigor.
Seeing such an obvious difference, she frowned slightly.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter. When she noticed something unusual and went to clean up the zombies a few days ago, she felt like she was locked in an oven.
In her previous life, she was locked up in the research institute at the beginning of the extreme heat. When she came out, the temperature had started to drop, but it was still an astonishing 57 degrees.
At that time, it was the day before Chinese New Year.
Now, her paradise has lush green plants and trees, which effectively block a lot of high temperatures.
With her around, there's no need to worry about nearby plants dying from the heat or being exposed to the sun, as they can lie perfectly flat.
Thinking of this, she happily took a bunch of grapes and ate them.
I lay in bed for more than two months. The temperature outside was unprecedentedly high. The weather on my mobile phone showed that the temperature had been around 60-65 degrees for more than a month.
A normal person's movements are severely restricted at 35°-41°, and 50 or 60 degrees can almost roast a person to half-cooked.
However, humans are highly adaptable, and the temperature at night can drop to over 40 degrees, so humans can still survive.
But at night, zombies rule the world and ordinary humans are still not allowed to walk out.
Several dogs under the tree were lying in the shade, with their limbs spread out and their bodies pressed tightly against the ground to dissipate heat.
More than two months later, the four cubs have grown a lot, with droopy ears and loose hair. They look innocent, cute, and a little silly...
"Cuckoo..."
"Quack quack..."
“Oh o oh o oh o oh o~”
In the chicken and duck pen, the chicks and ducklings became anxious because of the heat in the air. They stretched their necks and kept calling, and their feathers stood on end even under the shady trees.
Xu Yao changed the water for them, and seeing that the amaranth in the circle had been almost pecked out, she used her supernatural power to induce another wave of them to give birth.
The cows and sheep no longer went out to graze, and just stared at her every day.
Several pigs can lie down whenever they want, and apart from eating, they even poop and pee while lying down...
Looking at this group of ancestors, Xu Yao could only serve them wholeheartedly, and then put on the mask he made to clean up the feces.
These animal manures are a good source of nutrients for plants.
Except for the vegetable plot, everything else is buried under the big trees nearby.
Yes, buried.
She didn't pour it directly, but buried it, otherwise she was afraid that the smell would spread ten miles away.
After taking care of all these, Xu Yao picked a few peaches and pears and returned to the tree house.
As soon as we arrived at the door of the tree house, a blue and red bird the size of a palm landed on the railing.
Looking at the little bird holding the insect in its mouth, Xu Yao subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
The bird jumped down to the floor and put the white cabbage worm down.
Seeing that she was just looking at him, he pushed the insect towards her with his beak and chirped twice while looking at the fruit in her hand.
It’s as if he’s saying, let me switch with you!
Xu Yao smiled, looked at the squirming caterpillar, took out a peach and a pear and placed them on the floor: "No need to exchange, I'll give them to you to eat, and don't do it again."
The fruits in the orchard are not small. A peach is much bigger than a bird.
"Chirp~" The bird seemed to understand what she said and tilted its head to look at her in confusion.
Xu Yao seemed to understand its meaning from the black eyes which were the size of green beans.
"I'm not that good, but you gave me a reminder." Xu Yao answered its question, then opened the door and entered the house.
Seeing that she really didn't want it and gave herself the fruit, the bird happily swallowed the bug in one gulp and then jumped onto the pear.
The four sharp claws instantly pierced into the pear flesh, and then the other foot hooked the peach and flapped its wings to fly.
Xu Yao stood by the window and watched this scene, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
A small bird took away two fruits that were much bigger than itself. This scene looked so magical no matter how you looked at it.
But Xu Yao knew.
Animal mutation has also begun!
Thinking about it, she took out her cell phone and sent a text message to the number in her memory: One thousand kilograms of grain in exchange for two thousand kilograms of crystals.
After waiting for a long time without any news, Xu Yao didn't care. He opened the door and the rolling heat wave rushed towards him.
She frowned and jumped down from the tree which was more than ten meters high. When she was about to land, she was caught steadily by the vine net.
Taking an umbrella from the kitchen and going to the field, Xu Yao slowly scattered the millet on the ground.
Even a person with extraordinary superpowers would feel very uncomfortable under such high temperature, not to mention that she was afraid of heat to begin with.
After watering about two acres of land, Xu Yao stretched out his right hand, made a grabbing motion, and began to use his supernatural powers.
Watching the seedlings grow quickly, Xu Yao looked at the sweet potato seedlings next to them.
The two crops grew very fast. The plants nearby sensed the overflowing energy and unconsciously stretched out their leaves and branches, trying to rub against them.
Soon, the rice was ripe and the golden rice ears bent the rice straw.
Xu Yao took a sickle and began to harvest the rice.
After a while, she was sweating profusely and her clothes were soaked.
The fragrant rice flavor is accompanied by the aroma of straw. It tastes good, but it is a bit prickly.
The sweet potatoes next to them pulled themselves out, each one was long and big, and were driven by the main vine and piled neatly on one side.
It was so hot that Xu Yao didn't want to embarrass himself, so he could only hide under the tree with an umbrella.
After resting for a while, she raised her right hand, wrapped the vine around the sickle handle, and then scraped along the rice, and a large area of rice was harvested.
Looking at this scene, Xu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to have a better idea.
She went back and found the machete she had bought earlier, took it out and touched the blade.
Although it has been covered in dust for more than half a year, it is still very sharp.
Back in the field, she controlled the vines with a machete and cut a large area at a time.
He then controlled the other vines to collect and tie up the cut rice, then went back to rest.
When I returned to the tree house, a text message reminder came from my mobile phone.
She picked up her cell phone, which had seven missed calls and ten unread text messages.
She sat casually at the door to enjoy the fresh air, then turned on her cell phone.
The first text message asked her who she was.
The second and third points say that she has no say in the matter.
The third and fourth ones are basically all about bargaining.
Later, the other party asked if they could meet to discuss in detail, and then said that one thousand kilograms was too little.
Xu Yao thought about it, went back to the field and took a photo of the sweet potato vines with sweet potatoes hanging on them and the rice that had not yet been threshed, then edited the text message and replied: Send vines.
Soon, the other party sent another text message: Can you give us one thousand kilograms of rice and sweet potatoes, and also the rice straw and these sweet potato vines?
Yes. Xu Yao only replied with one word.
He immediately asked about the transaction location.
Thinking of the payment reminder sent by the telecommunications company yesterday, she set the location nearby and the time is 5 pm tomorrow.
After deciding, she got up, changed her clothes, and then put the rice and sweet potatoes into the bamboo baskets she had made some time ago.
A basket weighs more than 500 kilograms, which is actually not much, but it is a lot when you add the vines and straw.
Since animals have begun to mutate and become smarter, it means that the energy crystals underground have been discovered. Those crystals are milky white and clear, and can replace electricity, oil, and gunpowder.
Because the energy is pure, it is very economical to use. A battery made of one pound of energy crystal can be used by an ordinary family for a year.
At the same time, it is this energy stone that causes animal mutations, zombie upgrades, and awakening of people with special abilities.
The energy crystals were extremely strong, even harder than diamonds, and they were deep in the cracks of the ground. She didn't have the professional tools to mine them, so she could only exchange them with the base.
But exchanging one pound of grain for two pounds of crystals was, in reality, a disadvantage for her. After all, in two months at most, one pound of grain could be exchanged for four or five pounds of crystals.
But who made her want to use it first?
The person she sent the text message to was Liang Xiaobing, the team leader of the official base in City B.
She was also her senior who joined the army after graduating from high school. Due to some family matters, she was assigned to this city.
Like Li Caifang, he helped her when that pair of scumbags went to school to beat her up, or when she was bullied at school.
Because they knew her family situation, they let her escape twice when they were chasing her.
If she hadn't been soft-hearted, she would have been unable to resist at all, considering that she was at the bottom of the psychic world at that time.
But later, they became complete enemies, and she broke through their base for the sake of that woman.
Although she was not killed because the senior leaders of that base were really disgusting, destroying someone else's base is almost the same as killing someone directly.
So, when she thought of changing the crystal, she thought of her first.
Straw will not kill people, but it can fill their stomachs. Sweet potato vines are also vegetables. She can give her these benefits in exchange for the lives of those leaders!
Thinking about it, she continued to edit the text message: One pound of fruit in exchange for two high-power telescopes?
Can! ! !
It seemed like the person on the other end was holding his phone, so he replied immediately.
Three big exclamation marks were enough to prove her surprise at the moment.
Yes, now all areas around the world are dry, rivers have stopped flowing and lakes have dried up.
If the authorities had not built a base in the first place under the influence of earthquakes and zombies, social order would not have been maintained for so long.
Many large cities have begun to fall apart, splitting into countless large and small bases.
And because their small place is a war preparation zone, the weapon suppression is more deterrent than other places, so basic order has been barely maintained until now.
But life is getting harder and harder. We can’t even afford food, let alone fresh fruit?
Thinking of this, she put away her phone, settled the little ones, and set off with the food.
The city base was a hundred kilometers away from her, and all the survivors in the city's counties were sent there.
Logically speaking, China's granaries are very large and should not be consumed so quickly.
But as luck would have it, there were several large granaries at the location of the ground fissure, and after three days of heavy rain, it is estimated that a lot of them were destroyed.
And Province G.
Because it is surrounded by mountains and has too many huge rocks, food reserves are also affected.
There is just enough food every year, and any more has to be shipped from other provinces.
Xu Yao transported the food down the mountain and drove a truck out of the abandoned house next to the air-raid shelter.
The truck was not one of the previous owners, and it was not hers.
It suddenly appeared on the city streets more than half a month ago.
At that time she was clearing the zombies from the mountain.
I saw that the car had been parked for a long time, so I got off to take a look.
All I saw was blood on the car and outside of it.
There was no trace of anyone, probably because they were eaten by zombies, and no one knew where the corpse had jumped to.
