MTL - The Villainess Is Always Pretending to Be the Virgin Mary-Chapter 23
Gu Chi obviously also saw that big and amazing carrot.
He was not quite sure: "This is... a carrot?"
It's fine for humans to become zombies, but now even radishes have started to mutate?
Yun Ling nodded.
She specially moved it out from the Lingquan space. This radish is the most delicious spiritual plant in her space. It is sweet, delicious, crispy and juicy. And it can also increase the power value.
Although, the last point Chi Ying shouldn't need much...
Meanwhile, Gu Chi was already thinking about whether to send this carrot to the research institute.
"Cough, this, this is Yun Ling's ability." Chi Ying hurriedly explained to her, for fear that Gu Chi would become suspicious.
It's not wrong to say supernatural powers, Yunling does have the ability to cultivate spiritual plants.
Yun Ling heard that it was Chi Ying who said it, and subconsciously began to nod.
She was right.
"Really?" Gu Chi frowned, still feeling strange.
Seeing this, Yunling grabbed the leaf on the top of a radish, and in the next second, the leaf that was already big enough doubled in size.
Gu Chi: "..."
Seeing that he dispelled his doubts, Chi Ying was relieved. She looked at Yun Ling and asked, "Is it for me?"
"Yeah." Fearing that she would dislike her, Yun Ling hurriedly explained: "This is not an ordinary radish..."
Chi Ying: I see it.
"It's really delicious."
It is not convenient for Yunling to talk about the space, so he can only praise how delicious it is.
"But it's...a bit big." Chi Ying struggled.
"It doesn't matter, it can be stored for a long time, as long as the water is well preserved, it will be difficult to break." Yunling continues to promote.
"Okay, thank you." Chi Ying bit the bullet and accepted.
In the end, it was Gu Chi who moved the radish back to his house.
There is no kitchen in Chi Ying's room, and the space is not big. If such a big thing is stuffed in, there is no place for people to stay.
Looking at the giant radish weighing hundreds of catties, he also had some headaches.
"I'm afraid you'll be eating turnips for a long time."
"Yun Ling said that it can be stored for a long time. Can you ask Mu Yu to put it in the space? This way we can also eat fresh vegetables outside."
Gu Chi agreed, "Alright."
"Whether it is boiled or blanched in cold water, the radish is very convenient. The leaves can be steamed with noodles to make vegetable dumplings. It takes a little time, but if you find a stable place to stay, it's good to be troublesome occasionally."
Chi Ying was surprised.
So he turned out to be such a rich life experience.
Gu Chi stretched out his knuckles and tapped the white and tender radish body, looked at her and said, "Do you want to eat leaves or radishes?"
Chi Ying was slightly startled.
Gu Chi rolled up his cuffs.
"I'll do it."
When Gu Chi brought out a plate of stewed radish and fried radish dumplings that looked very good, Chi Ying was really shocked.
After all, when she was outside, Gu Chi's messy stew was still vivid in her memory...
She took a little with her chopsticks to taste.
tasty!
Not only was the radish sent by Yunling very delicious, but Gu Chi's craftsmanship definitely added a lot to it.
"It's inconvenient when you go out to do tasks, so I can only cook casually." Sitting opposite, Gu Chi explained softly.
Chi Ying silently swallowed the fried dumplings in her mouth.
Hmm... In comparison, those iron pot stews before are indeed very casual.
After finishing the dishes on the table, Gu Chi also started to talk about business.
"By the way, you have to prepare a little in the past two days. We will start again in the morning of the day after tomorrow."
Chi Ying nodded.
"Professor Yu's research on the zombie leader is still in progress, and he has not yet reached a conclusion. But what is certain is that Zhang Bin is definitely not the only zombie leader."
His expression fell.
"Since yesterday, the headquarters has received news from several supply teams and exploration teams. They said that the zombies they encountered were not as scattered as usual, but order suddenly appeared, and they surrounded them in groups several times... "
[This point matches the book. In the plot in the book, the node where humans discovered the zombie leader was shortly after Ye Wuhan's ability reached level seven. 】The system suddenly beeped.
"So, our next mission may be very dangerous. It is not the zombie leader who poses a threat, but the zombie group led by it...they are the most difficult."
After speaking, he got up and walked into the room. When he came out after a while, he already had a silver pistol in his hand.
"This one, you use it first." He handed the gun to Chi Ying.
"Your ability is very strong, but it's best not to use it in front of people. When there is danger, use this as much as possible first."
Chi Ying took it, gently stroked the non-slip texture on it, and nodded.
"Understood."
She still hasn't forgotten the pistol she borrowed from Gu Chi before, and gave it to the sister in the C-level district, and promised Gu Chi to return a new one soon.
Looking at the interface of the system mall, the column of firearms and props is only under the zombie potion that needs 2 million points to unlock, and it is divided into several files. Cold weapons such as swords cost 50,000 points, and they have been unlocked. The next step up is the pistol, but the accumulated points are not enough, and the frame is still black.
Looking at the unlocking conditions, one hundred thousand points is still about thirty thousand...
She was relieved, it should be unlocked soon.
the next night.
Gu Chi packed up the weapons and tools that he was going to take away tomorrow, then walked into the kitchen, and picked out a few large glass jars from the cabinet.
There are still a lot of lemons left from picking that day. Yesterday he asked someone to borrow a lot of sugar, and he took some rows of honey from the beehives in the greenhouse.
He took out the lemons in the box and cut them into slices, and filled a jar in the order of spreading a layer of sugar and putting a layer of lemons. The other jar is also laid out in sequence with a layer of honey and a layer of lemon.
After sealing it, he stared at the two jars of pickled lemons for a long time.
He thought to himself, next time he comes back, he should be able to eat, right?
…
Knock knock.
There was a knock on Gu Chi's door. He regained consciousness, put down the glass jar in his hand, and wanted to get up to open the door.
He thought of something else, and then turned back and stuffed the two jars of lemons on the kitchen table into the cabinet, leaving only an empty glass bottle on top.
After doing all this, he went to open the door again.
"Professor Yu?" He was a little surprised.
Professor Yu looked at the cuffs he was holding, and said with a smile, "Why did you open the door for so long? Are you cooking?"
He knows better than anyone else how good this kid's craftsmanship is. It's a coincidence that he caught up with the meal today.
"Cough...no."
"No?"
Professor Yu took a look into his kitchen and found that there were indeed no other ingredients except for a large empty glass jar.
He muttered strangely, and then got down to business.
"That's right, I remember that the leader information you submitted before was like this..."
"The body temperature is cold, the breathing is not normal, and there are behaviors that seem to be sending messages to the zombies?"
Gu Chi let out a "hmm".
"Well... I dissected the leader's brain today, extracted its zombie crystal nucleus, and found that the structure inside is indeed different from that of ordinary zombies. Perhaps this gave Zhang Bin the ability to control the zombie group."
He went on to say: "There is another point that you mentioned about the characteristics of body temperature and breathing state, which should not be enough to be the key to identifying the leader."
Gu Chi frowned.
"Has it been established that these two points are not common characteristics of chiefs?"
If this is the case, then if you meet the leader in the future, you will not even have the basic way to distinguish.
Professor Yu shook his head.
"There are too few samples now, and I can't be 100% sure. This is just a guess based on my experience in studying zombies for several years."
"From previous data, the zombie's crystal nucleus is equivalent to the human brain. It is like neurons that help zombies control their bodies and act accordingly. Of course, this is just an analogy."
"Although Zhang Bin's zombie crystal nucleus has a more complex structure than ordinary crystal nucleus, he can control some organs of his body to maintain normal operation. Therefore, his skin is not as corrupt as ordinary zombies. But...his crystal nucleus The nuclear is still not perfect."
Gu Chi's eyes darkened.
"You mean to say that if you meet a leader with a more complex crystal nucleus and a higher degree of evolution, it is very likely that you will be able to control your own body, right?"
Professor Yu sighed.
"good."
"If there really is a zombie that can perfectly control its own body and has human resourcefulness, then even if he is in this alliance headquarters where experts gather, he will never be discovered by anyone. If there is such a day... then humans can The odds of winning are zero."
The author has something to say:
Gu Chi who was successfully lurking in the headquarters in the original book: Huh? Are you talking about me?
The next chapter will leave the headquarters~
