Early the next morning, Gu Xi and Wei Heng drove a large truck toward the wilderness more than fifty miles northeast of the camp.
Because she had no money, Gu Xi reluctantly gave up her tomatoes. The two of them only received free farming machinery, a bag of sweet potato seeds, and a few large containers used as temporary houses, and set off with dry food in their hands.
The road was fifty miles long, but the road conditions were so bad because of overgrown weeds that the big truck took more than two hours of bumpy driving to reach its destination.
After arriving at the place, Gu Xi jumped out of the truck, looked at the strange plants all around, and took a deep breath of satisfaction.
From now on, this mountain top belongs to her!
Gu Xi found that this place was really a good place, sparsely populated, with mountains, water, and the 100 acres of land allocated to her by the country.
Obviously, she is very satisfied with the environment here.
Wei Heng glanced at her thin little arms and legs, and silently began to unload the goods.
The little girl is too weak. He has to do these rough and tiring tasks...
After Wei Heng took the initiative to take over the job of selecting a site to build a house, Gu Xi took the cloth bag and hatchet he handed over, thought about it, and walked towards the hillside not far away.
Among the wild plants all over the mountains and plains, Gu Xi picked the target at a glance.
She used to often go on missions outside and has rich experience in survival in the wild.
The exotic plant she chose this time is an edible wild vegetable from before the end of the world.
Gu Xi raised her hand, and a small green sprout tremblingly emerged from her fingertips, and then hooked up to the exotic plant she selected at an extremely fast speed...
The entire passing process went very smoothly. Those strange and violent energies were quickly transformed into her own powers.
But Gu Xi didn't plunder all the energy in this alien plant at once, she deliberately kept more than half of it.
Then he raised his hand and pinched off a young leaf, put it in his mouth, felt it carefully for a while, and then started chewing it slowly.
Sure enough, at first, there was no strange movement in the strange energy lurking in the young leaves.
But as the young leaves were chewed and destroyed, the unknown strange energy that could even be called peaceful and well-behaved when it was plundered before quickly came to life, and it began to attack Gu Xi, trying to pollute and corrode her powers.
…
While Gu Xi was using his powers to suppress these strange and violent energies, he looked thoughtfully at the mutated plants all over the mountains and plains in front of him.
Perhaps, the great mutation of animals and plants thirty years ago was not a disordered mutation, but some kind of... orderly evolution?
Just like plants before the end of the world would convert carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis; are these plants that have mutated now also use some special method to deal with this unknown, weird and violent energy?
Suppression?
Or maybe... a seal?
In short, while these mutated plants are still alive, or in other words, while they are still growing, this weird and violent energy is sealed in the plants' bodies, thus losing some activity.
And once these mutated plants lose their vitality and become dead, they also lose this suppressive or sealing effect, and then the strange energy lurking in these plants will come back to life completely.
And this revived energy, after entering the human body, has some kind of aggressiveness.
Because superpowers have superpowers to protect their bodies, their physical fitness is also relatively strong. After this weird energy enters the body of a superpower, it will first attack their superpowers... That's why Uncle Zhou's superpowers look so...
So strange.
And ordinary people do not have supernatural powers to protect their bodies. This strange energy will directly destroy certain physical functions of the human body... Therefore, almost everyone in the camp has a sallow complexion and looks like he is malnourished or poisoned.
.
Of course, this destruction may be slow and requires a certain amount of accumulation.
But when this kind of destruction accumulates to a certain extent and breaks out completely, humans will completely lose their minds and become bloodthirsty monsters.
As for those mutated plants, once a certain balance is broken, when they can no longer suppress or seal that weird energy...then malignant changes will occur.
This guess seemed bold and absurd, but Gu Xi felt somewhat certain in his heart.
But to verify this guess, some other evidence is needed.
Gu Xi thought of mutant animals.
As far as she knew, after the second major mutation of animals and plants, the plants were no longer aggressive, but the mutated animals were almost the same as before the mutation.
Except that there was suddenly that kind of weird energy in their bodies.
After the end of the world, not all mutant animals are bloodthirsty and aggressive.
Some of them have undergone some changes in body shape and habits, but they will not actively attack humans as before the end of the world, and have even become more docile; some have become smarter; of course, some have become bloodthirsty and violent...
Unfortunately, the area had just been screened by the army two days ago. Gu Xi had been sensing for a long time but could not find a single mutated animal, so he had to give up temporarily.
But if, if, her guess is true, then the question arises - where does this weird energy come from?
Almost in the next second, Gu Xi had the answer in his mind - zombie virus.
The law of conservation of energy holds true at all times.
Thirty years ago, after the zombies were completely extinct, the zombie virus did not actually disappear. Instead, it was transformed into this weird and violent energy through some unknown method.
Immediately afterwards, as nature evolved itself, animals and plants began a second major mutation.
The mutated plants have the ability to suppress the strange energy of sealing.
So, this weird energy that suddenly appears in the bodies of animals and plants is actually just an act of self-rescue by nature?
Gu Xi was shocked by the idea that suddenly appeared in her mind.
Little green buds came out at some point and wrapped around her fingertips. The two young leaves at the top seemed to have regained a bit of life.
Gu Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the little green bud. She was thinking, if all this is true, what about her? What role did she play in it?
Her superpower was born at the same time as the zombie virus, which is very special. Even the researchers at the Superpower Research Institute back then had never really figured out what her superpower was!
Thirty years ago, the friends only saw her chop off the zombie emperor's head with one knife, but they didn't know that before that, her little green sprout had secretly swept away the zombie emperor.
The energy crystal nucleus in the brain.
But because the energy of the crystal core was so huge, Little Green Ya could not completely digest it and absorb it in a short period of time, so it had to be temporarily sealed in her space.
Gu Xi originally planned to slowly absorb the energy in the crystal core after returning to the base... But unexpectedly, she fell into a glass of wine the night she returned to the base.
This situation lasted for thirty years.
When she woke up again, there was a problem with her powers, the space was gone, and she didn’t know what happened to the crystal core from the Zombie King in the end...
There are too many unknown mysteries, and each one is more troublesome than the last.
Gu Xi let out a long sigh and chose to put all these troubles behind him for the time being.
Right now, the most important thing is to cultivate the one hundred acres of land allocated to her by the country.
Food is the most important thing for the people, and eating is the most important thing.
Gu Xi gently stroked the small green sprout on her fingertips.
Baby, whether we can live a good life in the future depends on you.
Thinking of the various food videos he had seen before the end of the world, Gu Xi suddenly felt that life was full of hope!
The little green bud was also very excited and jumped out from her fingertips in an instant... Ten minutes later, Gu Xi took back her superpower.
Her current superpower is still too weak. Although she has just managed to break through the third level through plundering, the little green bud is obviously full and even burped in a very anthropomorphic way.
Gu Xi: "..."
By the time she returned, Wei Heng had packed up several container houses, connected the drinking water filtration device, and was playing with the farming machine he had brought.
I have to say that Wei Heng is very good at choosing places.
The place he chose is backed by mountains and forests. There is a creek not far away. The container is backed by mountains and water. It is safe and secure. It is easy to get water. There are also large tracts of wasteland outside...
These wastelands should have been agricultural land before the end of the world. As long as they are cleared, crops can be planted soon.
While checking the instructions for the farming machine, Wei Heng said to Gu Xi: "I've also tidied up your room. Go and see if there's anything else you need to change..."
Although it's not too far from the camp, they can't go back to the camp every day.
He was a grown man, and he was used to living in the wilderness these years, but after all, Gu Xi was a girl, so she still had to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
So before departure, Wei Heng was cruel and secretly took out a loan to buy a few large containers, and also secretly exchanged some decorations with others.
There is no way, he is too poor now and cannot afford to repair the house, so he can only live in this way.
The container is so big that you can see it all at a glance.
Gu Xi stood at the door and watched for a while, then fell silent again: she now seriously suspected that there was actually a little girl living in Wei Heng's heart.
This incomparable girlish heart...
Outside, Wei Heng fiddled with the instructions for a while and successfully started the farming machine.
Gu Xi thought for a while, then walked to a big rock nearby and sat down, watching quietly.
This kind of agricultural machine that integrates weeding, turning soil, fertilizing, spraying pesticides, harvesting, etc. is indeed very powerful. Wei Heng only took half an hour to clear several acres of land around the house.
In addition, deep plowing work was also carried out.
The wild plants that originally occupied this land were ruthlessly crushed by machinery, turned into nutrients, and reintegrated into the earth.
But Gu Xi sensed that deep underground, the roots of those deeply buried plants were still active, and a new round of turf war soon began...
If the roots of these plants are not completely strangled, the land that has just been cleared will soon be occupied by them again.
Wei Heng obviously also knew this truth.
He turned over and jumped off the farm machine, lifted up the corner of his clothes and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked towards Gu Xi: "This is all we can do for the time being. There is something wrong with my earth power. The remaining work..."
He was just about to say that he had asked another earth power user in the camp, who would come over in the afternoon to help use earth power to completely kill the plant roots deep underground, when he saw Gu Xi stood up and walked forward.
A few steps: "...I'll come."
You come?
Before Wei Heng could react, he saw some familiar little green sprouts quickly emerge from Gu Xi's fingertips, and then dive into the field he had just cleared...
Wei Heng: "......!!!"
He is an earth-type superpower, so he shouldn't be too familiar with the fluctuations of earth-type superpowers. But Gu Xi, isn't she a wood-type superpower? How could it be...
"Gu Xi, are you... a dual-power user?" Wei Heng thought of a possibility.
"Yeah." Gu Xi nodded vaguely.
Wei Heng's mood was a bit complicated: the reason why he offered to farm with Gu Xi was because he wanted to take care of the little girl he had picked up from the ruins.
did not expect......
With dual abilities in civil engineering and civil engineering, he is a natural farmer. This chapter has been completed!
