MTL - Reborn To The Start Of The Apocalypse To Farm-Chapter 13 night
After the discovery of snowflakes and the descriptions of crystal nuclei by the supernatural beings who have cooperated with the base, Wei Xuan judged after long-term observation and analysis: First, things like "snowflakes" seem to be falling under that kind of After the inexplicable heavy snow, it formed naturally deep underground. Second, "snowflakes" seem to have the same effect as crystal nuclei for zombies. Third, "Snowflake" can also be absorbed by supernatural beings to replenish mental power.
Since the effect of this thing is no different from the crystal nucleus in the zombie's head, why let Du Hang eat those disgusting things? It's better to dig these clean-looking "snowflakes" from the depths of the ground and eat them.
After all, zombies and zombies can be regarded as the same kind no matter what, and eating the "stones" in the heads of the same kind is always bad, isn't it? And that weird heavy snow not only caused the appearance of zombies, but also condensed these weird snowflakes, so it doesn't seem to be a big problem no matter which one you absorb, right?
Wei Xuan once heard another explanation for zombies in the base. Some people thought that if a person mutated into a zombie, then if he didn't eat a bite of human flesh after he became a zombie, it would be very dangerous. It may naturally decay, decay, weather, and disappear naturally after seven to ten years. Therefore, there was a voice in the base at that time, thinking that human beings should stay in the wall for ten or eight years in the end of the world and slowly accumulate strength, and after the zombies outside died naturally, they would be able to take back the former territory smoothly.
In this way, if the zombie—especially Du Hang—is allowed to absorb the energy in the snowflakes continuously, then he should be able to survive for a long time, right?
Wei Xuan always felt that when zombies eat people, what they want to eat may not be human flesh and blood—because they can’t absorb nutrients through the digestive system—but want to get some kind of “energy” from human bodies. Just like the energy contained in the crystal nucleus and snowflakes.
It's just that the zombies don't attack each other when their heads are intact. They can only feel the energy contained in the crystal nucleus after the death of the same kind, and after the head is broken, they will pick up the crystal nucleus in the head of the same kind and eat it.
And those strange "snowflakes" will seep into the soil again after a heavy snowfall every once in a while, and slowly condense to form. So after finding Du Hang in this life, Wei Xuan took advantage of the time when the city was full of random things and dug the potholes deeper, looking for snowflakes that might have condensed.
He didn't waste the last two weeks in vain. In addition to collecting supplies and planting crops, he also dug up two small bags, enough for Du Hang to "eat" for a long time.
After eating about five pieces, Du Hang had no reaction to these snowflakes. Wei Xuan also absorbed a piece—his abilities are very weird, they cannot be used actively, and they will always only take effect passively. So if others want to test whether the ability can be upgraded, they can use a lot of abilities to consume all the mental power, and then use the crystal core to replenish. But Wei Xuan can only absorb the energy contained in one snowflake every day... And according to Wei Xuan's rough judgment, five snowflakes can be worth the energy contained in one crystal nucleus.
Put the bag away and put it back in the backpack. Wei Xuan then closed his eyes and prepared to rest. The noon sun hits the outside of the heavy curtains, and it can't shine in at all—this is because Wei Xuan has recently adjusted his biological clock to move at night on purpose, and dig a hole in the morning to take out to check the surrounding situation. I rummaged through the winter with big thick curtains.
When Wei Xuan gradually fell into sleep, Du Hang, who was sitting quietly beside the bed, suddenly turned his head. He seemed to turn his head to look at the direction of the high-end residential area that was bustling at this time, and then looked at the already busy high-end residential area. Wei Xuan fell into a deep sleep. Then he bent down as if he was studying something, moved to Wei Xuan's neck and sniffed.
It was a familiar smell, very familiar, one that allowed him to settle down.
It was similar to the smell from the creatures in places Wei Xuan didn't allow him to get close to, but he didn't want to tear him apart or destroy him at all.
This feeling of reassuring him is especially obvious every time he encounters those creatures outside that make him irritable.
After imitating the appearance of the sleeping man on the bed, and slowly closing his eyes, Du Hang still maintained the posture of bending down and leaning his head against the side of the sleeping man's face, "sleeping" for a whole "night".
When Wei Xuan opened his eyes, he found a round, black spherical object in front of him that would startle him, but when he moved, it seemed that the object also felt his movement and lifted up from his chest. Only then did Wei Xuan discover that the black ball was actually Du Hang, a zombie he had raised for about two weeks.
Big eyes and small eyes, one can blink and the other can't. After staring at each other for a long time, Wei Xuan, whose eyes were a little sore and fully awake, rubbed his eyes in doubt, frowned and looked at the unclear face in the dark room, and confirmed that his eyes were still as stubborn as a zombie, and that there was no sign of humanity at all. No, I don't know if I sighed regretfully, sat up from the bed and asked casually: "What's wrong? You don't suddenly want to eat meat, do you?"
Same as every time before, Du Hang just stared at him blankly, showing no sign of being able to speak and answer. Of course, when Wei Xuan asked this sentence, he didn't feel that he could get any response at all. In other words, if Du Hang could respond to him, it would be a ghost.
His hand was still being held by Du Hang at this time, but when Wei Xuan sat up and lifted the quilt, Du Hang, who was used to Wei Xuan's behavior pattern, immediately let go of his hand reflexively, and then watched him rub his eyes and scratch his hands casually. Scratch some messy hair, walk out of the room, and go to the bathroom for personal hygiene.
Now most places in the urban area have no water supply. Of course, this is not absolute. Wei Xuan has seen traffic accidents in many places that caused water pipes to burst, and they are still spraying water.
Scooping water from the bucket prepared in advance to wash, Wei Xuan looked at the increasingly dusky sky outside, while starting to deal with the breakfast after getting up in the "morning"—instant noodles.
Although he didn't deliberately collect them, Wei Xuan could go to far more places than the survivors because of the special abilities, and he could completely shuttle through streets and shops full of zombies. It is time-saving and simple to take some instant noodles home from a place where zombies are densely populated to solve the ration problem. In the early days of the end of the world, those troublesome foods are more likely to attract attention. It is better to eat instant noodles.
Because the gas has been turned off, Wei Xuan is using an induction cooker at this time. As for the source of electricity - just look at the two solar panels on the roof. These things are much more convenient and trouble-free than collecting wood in the previous life. Wei Xuan still remembers the composite wood he found in the previous life. Lighting it once is like experiencing a poison gas attack. Think again that people before the end of the world usually used these things as furniture, and they didn't get poisoned to death by them, it must be because everyone's vitality is strong enough...
Just as he was lost in thought, there was a faint sound of gunshots, cannons, and the sound of something collapsing in the distance outside the window, and in the streets around this community, there were also sounds that he hadn't heard for a while. The roar of passing cars.
He glanced out of the window in a little surprise, poured the cooked noodles into a bowl and looked out while eating—on the street to the east of the community, at this moment, a dozen cars drove past in succession!
These cars have all kinds of specifications, but some of the thin-skinned cars obviously have a lot of bump marks, and there are many jeeps and off-road vehicles mixed in the middle of the team, which look very strong and crashworthy.
Wei Xuan turned his brain while eating, guessing that these people should have heard the sound of military vehicles entering the city, so they wanted to take the opportunity to come out to seek help, but the military people came in to rescue, and the speed of advancing and leaving relatively slow. People in need will move more slowly if they live in a neighborhood with a high zombie population.
No matter how strong these vehicles are, they don't have such a thick armor that can withstand the attack of crazy zombies, so they can only find their own way to leave.
The number of convoys that Wei Xuan sees now is relatively large, and they escaped from their homes relatively late. But at that time, because Wei Xuan was sleeping, he didn't notice it.
After eating instant noodles, wash the dishes and chopsticks. Standing again and pulling Du Hang out to confirm the situation, Wei Weixuan decided - not to go out tonight.
Not going out does not simply mean not going out to collect things and organize supplies, but not even going out of this building. Originally, when he found out that there were troops entering the city this afternoon, Wei Xuan wanted to use the night time to plant land in the community, but now that there are cars that may pass by and escape from the city at any time, he simply dismissed it. this thought.
After all, although he has supernatural powers, he is still an ordinary person in other respects. He doesn't have the ability of night vision at all. If he goes out to work in the middle of the night, he needs some lighting facilities, right? Otherwise, unless it is just like when the end of the world just arrived, and you just go to the place where the supplies were sorted out during the day to pick up things, then you can barely deal with them in the dark. But even if he went out to collect things as before, he would always be shocked when he saw a hideous and terrifying zombie face in a hidden and unexpected place when he was walking outside in the middle of the night.
But now, if some mutated plants were suddenly dug up while digging half of the hole, then Wei Xuan would not be able to survive - those things would even attack zombies, so he and Du Hang would probably go to die together by then, right?
