next second

We got to the Lake District, it's been a long time since we joined the convoy, maybe the neglected crops are dead, maybe the lake's rising water has drowned them.When I arrived in the lake area, I realized that my worries were unnecessary. The water level hadn’t moved at all, the humidity of the ground was the same as when we left, and even the wooden floor in the cabin hadn’t been covered with dust.Rather than saying it is clean, it is more like stagnation, as if time is still in this unknown waters, and inanimate things are absolutely static except for the time of living things that is still passing.The wheat on the shore has become a golden ocean. Even in areas with sufficient water, heat, sufficient light and good conditions, it is too fast to grow from seeds to harvestable crops in less than two months, which is unbelievably fast.

The team is constantly expanding, and the collection of weapons and food is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Our number has increased from five hundred to eight hundred, and the number of combatants has increased from fifty to ninety. The heavy machine guns were installed behind the first moat, and another small bunker was built to cover the machine gunners in the tower.With a natural environment relatively isolated from the outside world and relatively complete fortifications, our village should already be similar to a military base.

Weapons are no longer the main problem, the greatest threat we face is hunger.The crops grown in the manor cannot be harvested within two months, but the food can only last for another month.In order to find enough food to support the continued existence of our group, Shangguanhui decided to send three five-person teams to search for food in various places and bring it back. Xueling Ritsugu Lu Qingcheng and I were divided into a group again as traditional teammates. Liu Pin Li Dan, Zhang Pengfei, Shangguan Hui, Duanmusen, as a group traveling in the opposite direction to ours, also set off at the same time, and the third group was a team recruited halfway like us.The only thing the three teams have in common is to maintain a strong force.Our first team has one less player, but it is undisputed that our first team has the strongest combat effectiveness and the third team is the strongest.

At this time, what we lack most are two things, one is food and the other is medicine.Food can be supplemented by our cultivation of arable land, and the fertile soil in the Uncharted Lake District can provide us with an ideal base for growing food, but medicines can’t be helped.Since modern times, human medicine production has been highly dependent on industry, and the development of industry has become the premise of medical progress. In the barbaric era when cities such as the Destroyer Period were almost completely destroyed and industries faded out of the historical stage, medicine could almost be said to have entered a desperate situation.However, patients do exist, and we have scientific personnel who can prepare emergency medicines, but we cannot specify the specific dosage.Medicines are not like other things. Its dosage needs to be extremely precise, and the slightest difference can turn a good medicine into an unimaginable disaster.

"So we can harvest the wheat. We should pick off the ears of wheat and transport them back, and set the rest on fire. Lulu, let's try it."

I consciously moved out of the way, Hitsugaya pulled out a sword from behind, and waved a swift sword aura casually.Jian Qi traveled tens of meters in the sea of ​​wheat and then disappeared into the lake. Lu Qingcheng picked up the plastic bag and ran over happily to pick up the fallen ears of wheat one by one.Then we did the same thing, and soon the two snakeskin bags were filled with wheat ears. This should be a happy thing, but I was worried when I saw the two big bags.This bag must be heavy, no matter how you look at it, a slender body like Hitsugaya does not have the ability to carry the bag, neither does Xue Ling, let alone me, there is no part for me in physical labor.

"Why does the little snake look so helpless? A mere sack of wheat can't be easier for me. Lulu, you can carry it." Lu Qingcheng tied up his pocket, and Ritsugu silently grabbed the snakeskin bag in his hand , and lifted the bag upwards, but it seemed that it was not easy to lift the bag.The swordsman has good wrist strength but no physical strength to match it. It is undoubtedly a difficult task for Hitsugaya to carry a heavy load for a certain distance.

"Sure enough, my physical strength is not as good as mine. There is no way. After all, two of the three of us use weapons. Whether it is a long sword, a double gun, or a Nepalese, they all make up for the fragility of the human body. Perhaps when the weapon is in hand I was not your opponent when I was born, but I am definitely stronger than you in terms of physical strength." Lu Qingcheng confidently picked up a bag of wheat ears, "We should be thankful that this bag contains wheat ears, and this bag is about four Ten kilograms, compared to the boxes that high school seniors bring home when they graduate. Give me that bag too, [-] kilograms is not a problem for me at all."

"Thank you." Although I feel that even a high school senior can't lift [-] kilograms, what did your high school experience go through?

"Thank you so much. Aren't we partners? Isn't it right to provide help within our capabilities to our partners' weaknesses? The next thing is... hey, is it my eyesight or something?"

I knelt down and looked at the wheat in front of me: "You don't have vertigo, it's unbelievable, but it's also true. The wheat whose ears have been cut off grows at an extremely fast speed, and new wheat has grown within 2 minutes." Ears, within 10 minutes the ears of wheat mature to the same golden color as before and remain static until some human or other animal destroys this state, and they start the next round of growth."

We've cut the wheat three times by staying in place for 15 minutes, bagging the ears with the stalks attached and stuffing them into the van one by one.This is not an illusion but a real mutation that happened before our eyes. The speed of plant growth is incredible. There should not be such a vigorous growth pattern in this lake area where time seems to stop.I squatted down and looked at the still clear water of the lake, took a cup of water and brought it to my lips for a sip, it was still relaxing and sweet.

why.Here... it's not supposed to be like this.

"Since you're here, let's take a bath in the water. It's been a long time since I played in such a vast water."

I agree with this suggestion.The water in the Lake District does not seem to be bad for us, and more importantly, I have a guess that I want to confirm anyway.After everyone went into the water, I plunged straight to the bottom, knowing that I couldn't swim, but I did it.Xue Ling's exclamation can be heard, and the sound of the water surface should not be heard at the bottom of the water, but I can almost hear it clearly.I opened my eyes underwater, my breathing was not blocked by the lake water, and my eyesight was almost intact.Sure enough, this is the case, the water flow that does not threaten the safety of human life, is it you?

Malgard.

No, what is Malgard?

"This kind of test is not allowed in the future."

"Understood, sister. Then we can come to a conclusion, about this unknown waters."

There are more than [-] hours of daylight every day, and the temperature and solar radiation remain unchanged from morning to evening. The temperature is always warm but not hot, and the water temperature is always lower than human body temperature but not annoying. of.The water level of the lake will never change. There will be no rain or wind. The wheat planted will mature within two months. As long as the roots are not uprooted, it can be harvested almost infinitely. There are also various edible freshwater fish in the water. Don't worry about food.In addition, there are only seven trees on this side of the water, and we cut down one to build a wooden house, and now that tree has grown again, no different from before.It's like a gift from the gods, giving us the best paradise in the wasteland of the last days.

Does the time return?All the original things in the lake area will remain in an eternal state. When external forces interfere with this stability, the disturbing force will be automatically classified by the lake area as within its own range, so the invading outsiders also have constant time.As for the fact that the hut did not fall into the dust and the wheat grew smoothly, I interpret it as the formed things will be incorporated into the lake area as its own system, and no matter how it is destroyed, it will return to the formed state before it was destroyed.

If you think about it that way, it's really scary.

Isn't it Seagod? Why does he have such power.

Wait a minute, what have I been thinking about since just now!What is the sea god?

After discussing this conclusion with my companions, I was frightened and wanted to leave immediately, but Xue Ling didn't care and hugged me as if I was talking in my sleep, Hitsugaya did not comment as usual, but Lu Qingcheng looked at it with the eyes of stars Looking at the waters - if the time returns, it means that in this world we will never grow old?What a joy to be with these three beauties.

"Let's go back. Bringing these things back to the base area can temporarily solve the food problem. Next time, bring Shangguan to let her see this magical world. On the way back, there may be contact with zombie groups. Everyone, be prepared Prepare for the battle." Xue Ling got up from the bed, and I had to stand up after being hugged by her: "Sister~~"

"Hey, let Qingcheng drive later, and I'll hug you, okay?"

"Ah."

Lu Qingcheng: "Oh, I think of those two poor birds who stepped on the wire and were electrocuted to death."

I looked confused: "Bird?"

"It's nothing, just think I'm complaining, no, I'm just complaining. The internal digestion of the queen and the little princess is the most disgusting thing. I also want to live a life of hugging left and right! Lulu, come here and let me hug you hug!"

"She probably wanted to tell the cold joke about two birds kissing on the wire and being electrocuted to death. Xiu Enai died quickly..."

"..."

Hitsugaya didn't say anything, and gently hugged Lu Qingcheng, the gentle movement made me beat my head to see if there was something wrong with my eyes.Hitsugaya actually hugged her?Although there is still no expression on the face and no emotion in the eyes, Hitsugaya would actually hug her?No, it's not that there is no emotion, Hitsugaya's eyes clearly have subtle emotions.

Is this feeling... pity... is it...

No matter what that feeling is, we must return to the base as soon as possible.The dark night in the Lake District is so weird that people have the urge to commit suicide. It is still too heavy for me to stay here overnight.

On the way, I thought of the vegetables on the roof, so I ran to the supermarket and returned to the sixth floor. The vegetables remained in an unusually lush state, and they had some weird similarities with the wheat in the lake area.

So it’s always a good idea to bring some vegetables, too.Fresh vegetables in the base area are really scarce.I just hope we don't let that nasty Godzilla come over during the short time we are picking vegetables.
