Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

There are many ways to obtain drinking water from plants in the wild, and Xia Lunong knows several of them.

For example, it can be obtained from bamboo or wild plantain.

Xia Lunong took a big sip of the honey water and said, "I'm not saying that bamboo must be planted. What I mean is that my abilities are useful in many ways, so don't solidify your thoughts."

Yan Xiannian rubbed his head, "Yes, that should be the idea."

It took a long time to get water today, and it was already past ten o'clock after the three teams finished their dinner one after another. Everyone lined up for a shift to watch the night, got into their trucks, and took the time to rest while hugging their quilts.

Xia Lunong and his brother slept next to each other, with his brother on the left and Kong Zhi on the right.

Xia Lu was concentrated in the blanket and couldn't sleep well, her eyes were open in a daze.

He could accurately distinguish Kong Zhi's breathing from the continuous snoring in the car body, and he could also feel Kong Zhi's body temperature.

In the dead of night, Xia Lunong thought about his relationship with Kong Zhi again, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep.

"Thinking about what?"

In the night, a voice suddenly rang in Xia Lunong's ear, which made him tremble in fright, and almost shouted out.

He grabbed the quilt and turned to look, but Kong Zhi was looking at him.

"It's nothing." Xia Lunong lowered her voice, "You haven't slept yet."

"I didn't hear your steady breathing, so I'm not at ease." Kong Zhi stretched out his hand to help him tuck the quilt, and said in a low voice, "I'll think about it during the day, I have to hurry tomorrow, go to sleep."

Xia Lunong was used to fighting with him before, and she was used to holding hands and shoulders, and she didn't think there was anything strange about physical contact.

Now that the relationship between the two has changed slightly, Xia Lunong suddenly felt the presence of that hand became more apparent, Xia Lunong couldn't help but hold his breath with every move.

Kong Zhi's hands are broad, with long knuckles. He is relatively thin, and there is no flesh on his fingers. They are very bony, and the raised lines look a little sexy.

If before the catastrophe, this is a pair of hands that can shout and lick the screen.

Xia Lunong pulled the quilt with this hand.

Xia Lunong's chest was lightly pressed by that hand, and an unspeakable weirdness spread. He even trembled slightly, and his ears turned red in the darkness.

Kong Zhi's hands were very disciplined, he helped him arrange the quilt and took it back, and whispered again: "Go to sleep."

Xia Lu buried her thick face in the quilt, and said in a low voice, "You too."

Xia Huoqu gently turned over on the other side, Xia Lunong was afraid of waking up his brother, so he quickly calmed down.

I don't know if it's because of fighting poison with poison, Xia Lunong was still thinking about Kong Zhi just now, but now that Kong Zhi tucked her in the quilt, her whole mind was emptied, and she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, everyone woke up, wandering around, cooking, everyone was busy with their own affairs.

The morning mist was so vast that it covered people with a layer of tide.

The happiest thing in the morning is the little pepper tree.

It was planted in the soil overnight, and this morning it was alive and well, and it became a little follower behind Xia Lunong, shaking its stiff leaves and jumping around.

Ba Niu and the others looked at this small pepper tree with novelty and envy.

Ba Niu rolled his eyes and whispered, "Xiahuajiao is simply the most perfect pet. It has powerful force, cute personality, and doesn't need to be taken care of."

Xia Lunong patted the prickly ash tree with back thorns, then turned to correct Ba Niu's opinion, "It's not a pet, it's a partner."

Ba Niu envied, "No matter what name you change, you have such a moving and worry-free little guy by your side anyway. Speaking of which, there are many animals that move in the wild, can ordinary people find plants as partners? "

Xia Lunong asked: "Can you communicate with Xia Huajiao?"

"Yes." Ba Niu said, "Didn't you say that it shook its head and nodded in response. If it is willing to talk to me, it will definitely be able to communicate."

Xia Lunong shook her head, "Actually, you may not be able to communicate, you will know if you try."

"Just try it." Ba Niu didn't believe in evil, "You talk to the little pepper tree so that it doesn't reject me, and I will talk to it."

Xia Lunong talked to Xiaohuajiaoshu as she said.

The small pepper tree turned its canopy to Ba Niu.

Ba Niu immediately came up and greeted the little pepper tree, "Xia Huajiao, hello! Are you thirsty, do you want to water you?"

Little Zanthoxylum bungeanum shook the canopy.

Ba Niu guessed, "Is this thirst?"

The little pepper tree didn't move.

Ba Niu scooped a small ladle of water from the bucket next to it, and poured it under the roots of the small pepper tree.

When the water was poured, the little pepper tree jumped back and avoided it.

Everyone is watching the fun around.

Cong Lian asked: "Why do I feel that the little pepper tree says it's not thirsty?"

"I think so too." Old Liu leaned over, "You can tell by its behavior that it is refusing."

Ba Niu didn't believe in evil, and asked again, "Xia Huajiao, do you really not drink water?"

The little pepper tree stood there without responding.

As if talking to a foreigner, Ba Niu dragged his tone and tried to communicate with Xiaohuajiaoshu in a strange voice.

The small pepper tree shook its crown occasionally, but there was no other response.

Ba Niu's mouth was parched and he was so depressed that he took a sip of water and said, "Why do I find it so difficult to communicate? The little pepper tree doesn't like me?"

The little pepper tree shook its branches.

Xia Lunong glanced at the little pepper tree, "No, it really likes you."

Ba Niu said: "You have to say this with conscience, if it really likes me, will it ignore me?"

"It didn't ignore you." Xia Lunong said, "It didn't understand some words at all, and it responded to you with some words, but you didn't see it at all."

"Ah?" Ba Niu widened his eyes and smacked his head. "Fuck, isn't this the same as speaking a foreign language? A chicken talks to a duck."

Old Liu laughed at the side, "This is more difficult than speaking a foreign language. You have all communicated across species."

Ba Niu didn't believe in evil, and said: "That's not right. Xiao Nong can communicate with Xiaohuajiaoshu, and Team Yan and Deputy Team Xia also occasionally talk a few words?"

Yan Xiannian, "It's just a few words, it may not understand it, and we may not receive its response, it's not communication. Except for Xiao Nong, no one else in the family can communicate with Xiaohuajiaoshu normally."

Ba Niu was disappointed, "Isn't our wish to raise a moving plant broken?"

"If you want to raise it, you can raise it. If you can find a suitable plant, it is willing to go back with you, so you can raise it." Xia Lunong said, "Maybe if you keep it, your communication will become smoother."

"I don't think it's possible." Ba Niu looked at the small pepper tree and sighed, "I thought our base would be able to popularize new fashions, but it turns out that this is your patent."

Old Liu said: "You know, if anyone can communicate with plants, the plants outside will not be so cruel."

Xiao Tang grinned, "Xiao Nong is at the tenth level of plant language. He can listen and speak. If we don't get started, we can barely imitate cats and tigers, or we may point crooked skill points to make plants more ferocious."

Xia Lunong said: "Actually, this is not true. When we communicate, language only plays a part of the role. My ability can secrete some substances to convey my thoughts. At the same time, it can capture Xia Huajiao's thoughts. This and speech actions Combined, it becomes very easy to understand.”

Ba Niu said: "Anyway, this is your patent, we can't keep it."

After everyone listened, there were more or less disappointed expressions on their faces.

The little pepper tree is so cute, and its fighting power is quite strong. If you can grow one, it will be much easier to go out in the future.Even if you don't go out, it's good if you can help with housekeeping. Raising plants is much more worry-free than raising animals, and the investment is also small.

Ba Niu asked: "Xiao Nong, if you see other suitable plants on the road, would you raise them?"

Xia Lunong: "Nursing. But how can it be so easy to meet a suitable plant? You see, we have been going out quite often in the past half a year. Isn't this little pepper tree the one that really meets a destined plant?"

The little pepper tree seemed to understand, and raised its branch to rub against him.

Xia Lunong rubbed back, thought for a while, and said: "It's not necessarily true. If you want to raise a second child, you still have to get Xiaohuajiao's consent. If it doesn't agree, we won't raise it."

The little pepper tree also seemed to understand, and the branches rubbed against Xia Lunong, making the rubbing more and more enjoyable.

Xia Lunong said to the little pepper tree, "Even if we keep it, we still love you the most."

"Hoo--" the little pepper tree shook its branches violently, and the wind passed through the leaves, making a strange sound, as if it was talking.

The little pepper tree paused for a moment, and then let out a series of voices, "咻咻咻!"

Sounds very pleasant.

Ba Niu was surprised, "Is this enough to coax you?"

Little Zanthoxylum bungeanum: "Shhhhhhh!"

Breakfast was ready quickly, and the few people chatted while eating. After the chat, they packed their things and loaded the car, and drove the car along the route set yesterday.

They mainly take the concrete road before the catastrophe.

No matter how badly the concrete road is damaged, there are still concrete roads, which are relatively easy to walk on. Their trucks have been remodeled, and they can barely move on such a road.

They passed by a gas station that day, and were lucky to find oil in it. After cleaning up the mutated plants and animals peeking around the gas station, they got a lot of diesel and gasoline.

The diesel and gasoline filled a whole truck. Yan Xiannian asked Liao Quannan and Cong Lian to drive the truck back to the base with the gasoline, and Lao Liu sent three people to escort them.

There were four cars left in the convoy, and they continued to drive to the city as planned.

They arrived at the outskirts of the city on the evening of the third day, and the city was already in ruins, but compared to the towns, there were still some tall buildings in the city.

They used binoculars to look from a distance, and they could see mutant mice and cats shuttling in the tall buildings.

These mutated cats and mice are densely packed like lice on a tall building, making one's scalp tingle.

Ba Niu rubbed his arm vigorously, "Fuck, I just said that I don't want to go out to big cities to collect supplies, these mutant rats are too disgusting."

Yan Xi Nian said: "What is this? You haven't met mutated cockroaches on a large scale. That's scary."

"Captain Yan." Ba Niu turned his head and looked at him sincerely, "Please don't tell horror stories."

Yan Xiannian patted him, pressed the intercom, and said to the other cars: "The situation in the city is too complicated. Today we will not go to the city, but go to the N University outside the city first."

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

"Roger that!"

The next three cars all gave affirmative answers.

The car of the women's team at the end turned around first and headed for another destination.

Ba Niu waited for the car in front to drive away, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and said, "There may not be fewer mutant mice in the university than in the city."

"The purpose of going out this time is to collect materials and inquire about the situation, not to avoid mutant mice." Yan Xinian said, "The university has a solid foundation in scientific research, so maybe we can get more interesting instruments and research materials during this trip. "

Xia Lunong sat in the back seat, hearing what his old brother said, she hoped to get some more interesting plants or plant seeds.
