"vegetative" entangled

Warm water poured down from the top of his head, and Fang Qunchun felt his energy return little by little.

The dodder on his wrist was not afraid of the hot water at all, and was still floating lively around him.

Fang Qunchun, who took a bath in the bathroom for more than half an hour for the first time, got dressed and came out. If it wasn't for the obvious dodder on his hands and around his side reminding him of what happened today, he would still think that today is also an ordinary day.

It was getting dark quickly in winter. Fang Qunchun took a look at the dormitory opposite the balcony. Most of them were dark. Many people did not return to the dormitory, and many people were too nervous and afraid to turn on the lights.There were no lights on in his dormitory either.

He was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his stomach was humming and growling.

He took out a big red apple in the plastic bag and washed it casually. Fang Qunchun slowly gnawed at the apple, his heart sinking a little bit.

Because he insisted on steamed stuffed buns and soy milk or millet porridge and fried dough sticks for breakfast every day, and restaurants and canteens for lunch and dinner, he didn't have much food in his dormitory.Fang Qunchun, who has good eating habits, didn't even save a box of instant noodles.

Now that there is chaos outside, canteens, restaurants, and restaurants will definitely not be able to operate normally, and supermarkets may also be looted.

What will he eat for the next few days?It is impossible to stay in the dormitory all the time.

While nibbling on an apple, Fang Qunchun slid on his phone to send messages to all his close friends, and then continued to search. Sure enough, there were already posts on this topic on the Internet.But he still got nothing.

Those posts are the emotional outpouring of the masses on the Internet, fear, worry, nervousness, fear and ridicule, but no one can give the reason for the "vegetative state" outbreak.

He turned off the phone in disappointment. Fang Qunchun, whose stomach was not yet full, took another apple and ate it in two or three bites. His stomach was full, but an uncomfortable sour feeling also came from his stomach.I ate too many apples on an empty stomach and my stomach hurts.

Fang Qunchun had no choice but to get up and close the balcony door and lock it.Then he climbed onto the bed, rolled up the quilt, turned sideways, pressed the dodder clusters under his body, and closed his eyes.

The whole body was dark, and the fresh scent of shampoo poured into his nostrils from slightly damp hair. The dodder on his body was curled up quietly in the quilt, as if he had fallen asleep with Fang Qunchun.

Bending his body to make his stomach feel better, Fang Qunchun thought to himself: Tomorrow, tomorrow will gradually get better.

……

The next day Fang Qunchun woke up from hunger.

If there's anything more powerful than an alarm clock and forcing you to wake up, it's the powerful physiological response of being hungry.

There are only two apples for dinner, which can't supply the physical energy needs of Fang Qunchun's 1.7 meters seven big boy.

As he woke up, the dodder on his body became active.

Fang Qunchun, who was awakened by hunger, clicked his tongue. He was hungry and wanted to eat. I wondered if Cuscuta also wanted to eat.

They have become "vegetative people", but they still have to eat, drink, and sleep as before. I don't know if it is possible that one day, they just need to take root in the soil and get all the nutrients from the soil.

Imagining that scene, Fang Qunchun smiled helplessly, climbed the ladder and got out of bed.

The apples have been eaten, and Fang Qunchun has no biscuits and snacks in the cabinet. He hesitates whether to go out of the dormitory and go downstairs to see if there are still things to buy in the supermarket.

I don't know what's going on outside now, Fang Qunchun is quite courageous, but he won't go outside recklessly and risk his life.

He thought of Guo Jin who often rushed back to the dormitory late at night.Every night when Guo Jin returned to the dormitory, he would bring supper back, and he would bring one for Fang Qunchun every time.At first it was Guo Jin who asked him to have supper, but Fang Qunchun had the nerve to eat other people's supper for free every day.Later, he would give Guo Jin "food expenses" every time. Guo Jin was exhausted, but he would ask him what he wanted to eat every day, and they bought it for him and took them back to the dormitory.Their dormitory is often filled with the smell of fried beef, spicy chicken drumsticks, etc. after ten o'clock in the evening.

Thinking that Guo Jin doesn't know what's going on now, Fang Qunchun will feel worried. The message sent to him last night has not been replied yet.

As for Fang Qunchun's family...

Fang Qunchun, whose parents had passed away long ago, had no family members.

He frowned when he thought of the seemingly amiable relatives of the big family with formulaic smiles on their faces.

A growling stomach pulled him back to reality.

If even the most basic food and clothing cannot be solved, then don't mention that tomorrow will be better.

Fang Qunchun took another look at the dormitory, packed a few things casually, put them in a messenger bag, and went out to look for food.

The doors of each dormitory were tightly closed, and there was no sound at all. Most of the students were hiding in the dormitories.

When passing by the cafeteria, Fang Qunchun took a look inside, but there was no one in the cafeteria.

Fang Qunchun walked to the nearest supermarket, and before he entered the supermarket, he heard the noise and crackling inside.

Thinking of the looting scene after the chaos, Fang Qunchun felt a dull pain in his temple.

But the strong hunger made him unable to dodge these things. Fang Qunchun walked in, and as expected, the inside was a mess. Those half-human, half-plant students piled up in front of the rows of containers, and quickly stuffed them into his backpack. sweeping around.

No one noticed that Fang Qunchun came in, but as soon as he approached their domain, he would definitely be attacked angrily.

He walked silently to the area of ​​raw vegetables. Many female students in the school cook for themselves because of their health and weight loss. There are also fresh vegetables and meat in the supermarket.

Fang Qunchun also quickly filled the shopping basket with nine or ten bright red plump tomatoes, handfuls of wilted lettuce, two boxes of eggs, and a bundle of ugly green and yellow bananas.Many melons, fruits and eggs were smashed, yellow, green, red and white. It is conceivable that there was a lot of struggle here before.

Others pick up ready-to-eat instant noodles, ham sausage, biscuits, etc., but he ran here to get vegetables and fruits. On the one hand, he didn’t want to annoy those people and cause fights; save.

Before leaving, Fang Qunchun put the two bright red banknotes prepared in advance on the cash register and pressed them down.Looking back at the group of people behind him who suddenly fought for food, he lowered his eyes and left quietly like when he came in.

Fang Qunchun, who lived on these foods for three days and nine meals, almost retched when he saw the red color of tomatoes, the yellow color of eggs, and the green color of lettuce.Sure enough, he overestimated himself.Boiled eggs, boiled tomatoes, and blanched lettuce with the electric kettle used to boil hot water in the dormitory. At first, I thought it was edible, although it had no taste.But after eating several meals repeatedly, he was about to throw up.

Moreover, lettuce and tomatoes will soon rot and wilt, and eggs can be eaten for several more meals, but this cannot continue.

On the fourth night of the "vegetative" outbreak, Fang Qunchun decided to leave school and go to a nearby shopping mall to see if he could get anything.

In the dead of night, Fang Qunchun glanced at his mobile phone. At 01:23, he gently locked the dormitory door, left the dormitory building, scanned the code not far away to unlock the bicycle, and rode on the bicycle to leave the school.

Fang Qunchun's school is a key university, located in the suburbs of the city center. There is also a first-tier university and two second-tier colleges nearby.

There are always various commercial streets in the places where college students are intensively active. Fang Qunchun planned to go to the comprehensive commercial district closest to the school.

Fang Qunchun deliberately chose such a late time, just to avoid people who came out to loot during the day.But at one or two o'clock in the morning, there was only the wind blowing wherever he went, and the cold wind in the winter night made him uncomfortable. Fortunately, he wore a thick scarf before he came out.

Only the street lights were on, elongating his shadow, and the slight sound of pedaling the bicycle was crushed in the whistling wind.

The light-sensitive automatic lights in the comprehensive commercial area are on, and most of the floors and shops are dark and lifeless.

Fang Qunchun parked his bicycle and looked around, but found no one else, so he walked into the building, wary of the troubles around him.

The elevator can still be used, but Fang Qunchun does not intend to take the elevator up.The first floor is mostly clothing and catering. There is a medium-sized supermarket on the third floor of this building, and he plans to go there to have a look.

Broken glass and messy things can be seen everywhere in the building, which has experienced looting one after another.After three or four days of searching, most of the edible things in the building were empty.

When Fang Qunchun arrived at the supermarket on the third floor, he saw a dark hole and several rows of shelves down, but there were not many ready-to-eat packaged foods left.

Seeing things in the dark is not clear, Fang Qunchun can only turn on the flash light on the mobile phone, and look for it while walking.

After rummaging through it for a while, he managed to find a bag of ham sausage, two bags of oatmeal, and two tubes of biscuits that were lying at the foot of the fallen shelf.

Before Fang Qunchun walked out of the supermarket, he passed the cash register habitually, stopped, put down the banknotes, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, wondering whether the banknotes would be useful in the future.

There should not be many things in the restaurants upstairs, so Fang Qunchun went downstairs and returned by the same way.

When he passed through the square of the agency office building when he came, he was surprised to find that there was a fire on the path not far away.

The pedaling movement of his feet stopped, and Fang Qunchun was still about ten meters away from the bonfire. He hesitated whether to detour the original road and go back on the main road, or go back through the small road.

He didn't know who the person who set up the fire at night was good or bad.

Fang Qunchun thought quickly in his mind for a while, and then decided to continue riding the bicycle.

People just become "vegetables". In the past three or four days, Fang Qunchun has discovered through the dodder on his wrist. The things rolled up and knocked over, the rest of the time they are obedient.

So, as long as I pass there quietly, without squinting, without any hostility, those people... can't possibly chase him, right?

Thinking of this, he pedaled faster.

Fang Qunchun couldn't do "keep his eyes straight".When passing there, he quietly turned his face sideways and looked over from the corner of his eye. Amidst the crackling sound of crackling firewood, beside the flickering firelight, a man was sitting.

He was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and there seemed to be something strung on it. The man turned the wooden stick, and the faint smell of roasting came into Fang Qunchun's nostrils. For a person who hasn't eaten cooked food for a long time, What a temptation!

Fang Qunchun was stunned for a moment when he smelled the fragrance, and his pedaling speed also slowed down.

"Whoosh-"

But Fang Qunchun didn't wait for Fang Qunchun to continue to sink in the tangy aroma, he found that the dodder on the hands holding the steering wheel suddenly rushed out and rushed towards the man next to the campfire!

"!!!"

Fang Qunchun's heart was broken, making noises, what the hell, he thought too much about being attacked by others, but he never thought that it was the dodder on his body that attacked others on his own initiative!

Moreover, Fang Qunchun, who was on the bicycle, was taken out by the huge impact in this sudden jump, and fell off the bicycle directly, being pulled forward by the dodder on his wrist.

He rushed past the blazing bonfire with his whole body.

For a second, the frenzied dodder turned into a net and rushed towards the man sitting on the ground.

In fact, the man had already seen Fang Qunchun coming by on a bicycle, and he kept silent, just glanced at Fang Qunchun and continued to grill his fish.

He also didn't expect at all that this person would suddenly attack him.

Looking at the overwhelming green whip vines rushing towards him, he had nowhere to escape, so he could only frown, and he was not willing to throw out the hard-baked fish as a weapon to attack those who came, so he had no choice but to throw the wooden stick towards him. With a strong push on the fire frame, the flaming firewood flew out in all directions, hitting the whip vine that was attacking him.

"Wait!" Fang Qunchun really couldn't argue, he really didn't mean to sneak attack this man.

It's a pity that as soon as he finished speaking, the flames had already rushed towards his dodder.

Just when Fang Qunchun thought he would feel a sharp burning pain and smell the burning smell, Cuscuta immediately hung down flexibly, avoiding the firewood, and at the same time walked quickly behind the man.

Fang Qunchun was dragged forward several steps, almost rushing towards the man.
