MTL - The State Arranged For Me To Farm-Chapter 3
third day.
After waking up, Lin Ling sat at the dining table and waited for the black mist to dissipate. She took the last piece of dry food and slowly gnawed on it. After taking two bites, she raised the dry food in her hand to the little bear sitting opposite the dining table, "Eat Breakfast?"
The little bear doll is not a human being and cannot squeak.
"Don't eat?" Lin Ling smiled indifferently, lowered her head and continued to take a bite, "Then you can eat with me."
Lin Ling lowered her head and continued to nibble on the dry food. When she choked, she took a sip of the water she brought from the safety zone to moisten her throat.
After the light gradually came in from the outside, she took out the map and looked at it carefully. The state allocated her a total of 300,000 mu of land, equivalent to a small town, of which mountains and forests accounted for one-fifth of the area. It shows that there are still several water sources.
Today she has to go out and look around first to see if all the mountains and forests have been burnt bald. If they are all burned, she will have a lot of work to do next. In addition, she has to find water sources to irrigate the fields. The pond has dried up and a new water source must be found.
After checking the route, the black fog cleared, and the sky was finally bright.
Lin Ling found a schoolbag from the original owner's cabinet, put seeds and other important things in the bag, put it on her back, and was ready to go out. Before going out, she said to the bear doll who was sitting quietly on the chair: "I'm going out for a walk today. Turn around and see if the tree roots in the forest can still survive, if not, I can only find a way to find other tree species."
A person's life is always lonely, Lin Ling pursed her lips and smiled: "You stay at home and take care of the house."
The answer to Lin Ling was still silence.
Lin Ling closed the door and went out of the yard, walking all the way to the south. The road was covered with scorched earth. She squatted down and dug the soil. It hadn't rained for a long time, and the soil was dry and hard. Most of the plants and trees were dry and dead due to lack of water. Then it was burnt to death.
In the past, as long as the roots of plants and trees were still there, the wildfire would not kill them. When the spring breeze blows, the plants and trees will grow again.
But the climate in the last days is chaotic, the nights are like winter, and the days are hot like midsummer, the spring breeze does not come, and the vegetation does not know when to grow.
Lin Ling squatted on the ground and dug, and found that most of the trees were not burnt to death recently, but died for some reason a few years ago, and even the roots were rotten. If the roots were still there, she could still Using the ability to stimulate the germination, but it has rotted into dregs, and she can't save it.
After digging for a long time, Lin Ling found some roots of silk grass that were still alive. She gently dragged the roots with both hands, mobilizing the power of the wood system, urging the roots to sprout and grow.
Soon, the rhizome of a dying silk grass slowly regained its tenderness, and its branches and leaves slowly grew upwards, sprouting a few emerald green leaves.
Silk grass, also known as Imperata praecox and sweet grass root, is a weed with strong vitality and strong reproductive ability. It used to be a weed that the rural people hated the most, and it could not be eliminated, but now it has become a The only surviving weed in this hill.
Originally, I wanted to look for the roots again, but now Lin Ling changed his mind. Now that the land is dry and there is no water source, it is not easy to survive even if we find roots and use supernatural powers to germinate them. But the vitality of silk grass is more tenacious, and using supernatural powers can Helping them survive and reproduce faster can also help this mountain to restore green as soon as possible.
So she waited for the silk grass to grow new leaves, then buried it back in the soil, and then used supernatural powers to stimulate its rapid growth and reproduction. After a while, a large area of silk grass grew.
"Next, you should work harder on your own." Lin Ling continued to walk forward, and every time he passed a hill, he would inspect it to see if there was any living vegetation. If there was no living vegetation, he would put himself in the first The silk thatch dug out of the mountain bag was planted, and so repeatedly, she planted more than a dozen silk thatch from the mountain bag in one morning.
Silk grass is tenacious and can accumulate water and change the soil quality. After they can reproduce new shoots, Lin Ling will continue to plant other trees, which can increase the survival rate. After all, she can't use her abilities to feed these plants all the time.
After planting more than a dozen mountain bags, Lin Ling sat on the side wearily. This was the first time she used a large amount of abilities after waking up. Just take a break.
In the apocalypse, you can kill a zombie to get the crystal nucleus to recover quickly when the power is exhausted, but now that the zombies are gone, she can only rely on rest to recover slowly if she has no inventory. The speed of recovery depends on their respective levels. Fast, low level will recover slowly.
Lin Ling sat and rested for a while, and continued walking after recovering some strength.
At noon, Lin Ling arrived at a water source closest to his temporary residence. This was originally a reservoir, and the water in the reservoir was still more than half full, but it looked pitch black, as thick as black ink , like a sinful abyss full of crises.
Lin Ling stood on the high stone embankment, frowned and looked at the dark water, "Is there something hidden underneath?"
Little Green bent her body and pushed Lin Ling with the two leaves on top of her head, coward.
"You let me go down?" Lin Ling is just a wood-type supernatural being without strong combat power. She doesn't want to take risks: "I won't go."
Xiaolu was a little angry, and tightened the green vine wrapped around Lin Ling's fingers, threatening her: "Go or not?"
"I want to go to you." Lin Ling wanted to tear off the green vine and throw it away.
Xiaolu became furious, her torso suddenly doubled in size, and the two leaves on top of her head were pinched up, but as soon as Lin Ling's fingers were caught, Xiaolu immediately shrank back to her original thin and thin like a deflated ball. looks long.
Lin Ling looked at the two leaves on top of the shrunken little green head, and doubts flashed in his eyes, "I seem to have seen you grow teeth just now?"
It was the first time Lin Ling saw a plant with long teeth, "Xiaolu, what the **** are you?"
"Do you usually brush your teeth?"
"Children should take good care of their teeth, otherwise they will develop tooth decay."
Xiaolu looked down at her shrunken body, then immediately closed the two leaves, as if she was shy, and hid it in Lin Ling's sleeve with a snap, unwilling to come out again.
Lin Ling couldn't think of any plants with long teeth for a while, and she didn't want to delve into it. She was just afraid that Xiaolu would hide in her sleeve, what if it was dissatisfied and bit her? So he discussed with Xiaolu: "Xiaolu, let's have a discussion, can you stick it in my sleeve?"
Xiaolu ignored her, got in and never came out.
Seeing Xiaolu refused to come out, Lin Ling had no choice but to lower her request, "Then don't bite me."
Xiaolu arched Lin Ling's wrist in her sleeve, the movement was very light, like a feather scratching lightly, itchy.
"Then I'll take it as if you agreed." Lin Ling didn't know what the origin of Little Green was, anyway, she had to take care of her, lest she get angry with her fingers wrapped around her like a child.
Lin Ling walked down the embankment, stopped five meters away from the water, and casually pushed back a few big rocks into the reservoir. The water in the reservoir was still tens of meters deep. splashes.
The water splashed and landed on the stone ladder. Lin Ling checked it carefully. There was no poison in the water, and the reason it was so black was because it was dirty.
Lin Ling breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter if the water is dirty, it's just used to irrigate the land anyway, she will find a **** to dig a ditch from the reservoir to the village where she lives temporarily, and then go to the village to find a pump or a water pump to draw water .
After making up her mind, Lin Ling planned to go back first, but before she could stand up, she caught a glimpse of a black shadow swaying in the water from the corner of her eye.
Lin Ling squinted her eyes, held her breath and stared at the water surface, what is it?
After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the water. Just when Lin Ling thought she was dazzled, she saw an ugly black fish rushing out of the water, and opened its mouth to bite her leg.
Lin Ling raised her foot reflexively and kicked the mutated **** fish's front teeth fiercely. She kicked the two-meter-long **** fish back into the water and smashed it out with a bang. splash.
After kicking away the mutated **** fish, Lin Ling turned around and ran towards the top of the embankment.
The mutated **** fish hadn't seen fresh food for a long time, and was not reconciled to the food running away like this, so it attacked Lin Ling again, using the elasticity of its abdomen, jumping and chasing up along the stone embankment.
Lin Ling heard the sound like hitting a ball, and subconsciously looked back. When she saw the **** fish chasing after her, she was stunned for a second. She didn't expect that the mutant beast had evolved so much in the past few years. .
Just as she was in a daze, the **** fish with a mouth full of black teeth chased up, opened its mouth wide and rushed towards Lin Ling.
The **** fish opened its mouth, and the stench gushed out immediately. Lin Ling frowned subconsciously, "How long has it been since you rinsed your mouth?"
Speaking of which, Lin Ling quickly activated the supernatural power, causing the silk grass in his hand to quickly pull out green shoots, and the branches and leaves quickly grew, turning into tough ropes, directly binding the **** fish.
The **** fish immediately struggled vigorously, trying to use its own weight to break free from the rope, but unfortunately it failed after struggling for a long time, and only then did it know that it had encountered a stubble today.
The **** fish took advantage of its weight and pulled down hard, almost pulling Lin Ling down the reservoir, "Xiaolu, help."
Xiaolu jumped onto Lin Ling's shoulder, and the leaves on top of her head waved the flag one by one and shouted for her: Come on, come on!
Lin Ling: "..."
What's the use of you just cheering on?
Seeing that Xiaolu could not be counted on, Lin Ling had no choice but to activate the supernatural power to tie the **** fish tightly, and then dragged the **** fish up the embankment. It was the first time she saw a mutant beast, and she planned to study it carefully. Research.
In the early days of the end of the world, people will become zombies or people with supernatural powers. After a year, animals and plants will also evolve and mutate. High and low, these are collectively referred to as mutant beasts.
This **** fish has four beards on each lower jaw. It should be a big catfish. I don't know what kind of power it got, but it helped it survive until now.
Lin Ling heard from the people on the truck that people started hunting mutant beasts in the wild for meat in the late end of the world. Most of the mutant beasts are not poisonous and taste better than ordinary meat, so they started hunting in the safe zone later. The meat of mutant beasts circulated, so she was a little moved, "Take it back and make a soup later."
The mutant beast has human nature and has the IQ of a five-year-old child. When the **** fish heard Lin Ling say that he wanted to cook it, he struggled fiercely and used his unique trick to spray water at her.
Lin Ling dodged to avoid the water sprayed by the **** fish, "You are actually a water-type supernatural power?"
Seeing Lin Ling dodging away, the **** fish thought she was afraid, and sprayed water from her mouth triumphantly and vigorously: See if you are afraid?
Lin Ling looked at the black teeth of the **** fish with some distaste. This thing has bad breath, so the water it sprays out also smells bad, right?
The **** fish's water ability is not high, after spraying on Lin Ling for a while, he was exhausted, and collapsed in the puddle it sprayed out, his cheeks opened and closed, panting hard.
Xiaolu twisted her body a few times while scratching her head, patted the two leaves on top of her head, and applauded Lin Ling.
Lin Ling snorted, "Where were you when I needed your help just now?"
Little Green shook the leaves, it really stinks.
Lin Ling didn't expect that Xiaolu was still a little clean freak. She turned her head to look at the struggling **** fish, thinking about how to deal with it.
