Section 442 Vegetable Garden

‘There is still no sunshine’ there is still a hazy fog and gray between the world. The wind cannot take away the thick dark colors that make the sight obsessed, but it brings away the last trace of warm cold.

Lin Xiang raised his feet and walked out of the unobstructed door frame. Standing on the roof of the building where the cold wind whistled, he raised his head and subconsciously made a chill, taking deep breaths of dry and cold air, spewing out questions that were accumulated inside his body, unable to find the answer.

The mysterious place in the southwest corner that had been locked firmly still did not change at all. After a slight breath of thick lung energy, Lin Xiang took off his steps, walked up the vent stairs at the top of the floor, took out the tactical telescope from his backpack, hesitated for a moment, and looked at the direction that had exceeded his understanding.

The various abilities of the parasitic general are far beyond those of ordinary people. Even without the use of auxiliary equipment such as telescopes, Lin Xiang can clearly see what is happening there. However, he still wants to witness it with his own eyes in the way closest to humans. Perhaps. ". This is the most real and closest to the secret itself.

Under the hazy sky, a small hill with a undulating surface is tightly wrapped in a building forest made of reinforced concrete. It covers a large area, and there are also settings such as ponds or fountains. Pavilions, winding corridors, stone rockery with too many artificial decoration marks, swivel chairs and other children's game equipment." Yes, all of this overlaps completely with the scene in Lin Xiang's memory, without any relic.

An abandoned old-time park is also an oasis left in the city.

The focus of the problem is not on the park itself. Such places appear in almost all ruins and have no attraction to Lin Xiang. What he is interested in is just a piece of land in the southwest corner of the park.

There should be the area that originally belonged to the green belt. The trees and flowers have already died. On the brick and stone platform near the edge of the curved path, there are several dry and broken roots piled up. Except for someone digging them out from the middle of the earth and dying, Lin Xiang really couldn't find a second explanation.

In a hundred years, many things that were originally useful can be turned into garbage. Tree roots are no exception. Lin Xiang does not think that mutant beasts will do such things that are almost killing time. Although they have a certain degree of wisdom, they have not evolved to the point where they can use or make tools like ancient apes. Moreover, the soil next to the tree roots has been filled up. Even in order to eat the tender root skin stems, wild beasts cannot do this.

Lin Xiang, whose facial expression was covered by a telescope, deflected the camera slightly and stared at the two pieces of earth beside the roots of the tree, which originally belonged to the green belt. Heavy white mist was constantly exhaled between his nostrils and lips, and the degree of bullying in his chest became increasingly greater and more intense.

The garden has been converted into a vegetable field. There are green vegetables planted inside. The surface leaves are a little yellow, but through the semi-withered corners, you can still see the green and tender green vegetable leaves in the middle. However, the number is not large, and some of them should have been harvested and still remain in the field may be reserved for breeding.

The crazy thinking violently hit Lin Xiang's brain like a tide. He felt dizzy and felt a soft and weak feeling of powerlessness all over his body. However, the subjective consciousness desperately asked him to try to open his eyes wide, observing every detail there greedily, and quickly thinking about various methods for coping.

There is no doubt that there is someone there.

But."...c is extremely ridiculous and even impossible.

Where is the ruins?

Here are the ruins of mutated creatures gathered, full of death and killing.

The radiation here has not yet dissipated, and the intensity of the ray is even stronger than that of the severe radiation areas in the wild. Even the mob that has adapted to the environment will never dare to take a step. Even super forces like the Skeleton Knights, which have strong arms as their backing, can only wander on the edge of the ruins and cannot penetrate into it.

However, there are humans here.

It's ridiculous, but it's the reality that really happened in front of Lin Xiang.

He didn't know which kind of creature on Earth has "planting, this skill. This is the method of food acquisition that humans gradually discovered through the continuous migration and change of residences during the evolution of billions of years. Although all creatures on Earth are evolving, their intelligence is far from the standards required for planting.

Apart from humans, Lin Xiang cannot find the second answer.

Slowly put down the telescope, Lin Xiang forcibly suppressed the surging and excited desire deep in his heart. He gritted his teeth tightly, and from the "creaking" rubbing sound, he barely squeezed out a few words that had completely lost their original sound.

"This." This is impossible."." "Absolutely impossible."."

He really didn't want to believe the scene he saw c, however, this was a fact that no one could change.

In the darkness, a very faint shadow flashed back and forth in the ruins of the building.

It was Lin Xiang running at high speed C moving speed far beyond imagination, changing direction from time to time. The wind blew up also became cold and hard. He jumped from the roof of one house to another collapsed wall, and even rushed directly into the abandoned house and kept rushing. From the top of the building to the old park in the southwest, he chose the simplest and shortest straight line. He was eager to figure out the answer to the mystery. While the energy in his body was burning, he also turned his whole person into a high-speed flying alien bomb.

Head c rushed into the middle of the wreckage of vehicles crowded on the street, crushing a road that seemed to be washed away by boiling magma. The dilapidated walls and reinforced concrete were smashed to pieces, and the building that had lost its support shaking and collapsed, bursting out a deafening roar that ended everything. Occasionally, a few mutant beasts hidden in the dark wanted to intercept him as prey, but were crushed by the strong airflow wrapped around his body, becoming piles of rotten bones with fresh blood smell.

Standing in front of the vegetable field in the west area of ​​the park, Lin Xiang still felt a sense of illusion that was not very real. It seemed that the dishes in front of him were fakes deliberately placed here by someone.

Of course they cannot be fake... They squatted down, and their trembling fingers gently touched the uneven vegetable leaves on the surface, and a coolness with a faint coldness of snow and frost penetrated through their fingers.

This is a long-stem broad-leaf plant that was extremely common in the old era and can be bought in any farmers' market. The stems are thick and slightly drooping around the leaves, with dark green colors that are more ink-like. They grow very beautifully. The outermost edges have begun to turn yellow, with fresh leaves layer by layer in the middle, and a long stem as thick as a thumb. At the top, Wei is blooming with light white cross-sequence flowers. Occasionally, when the wind blows, it will sway back and forth in the direction of the airflow. However, it will not break on the spot, but stand up tenaciously with its head held high and silently fulfilling its mission of raising offspring seeds.

This scene is clearer and more intuitive than what Lin Xiang saw on the roof of the building in the distance.

He stood in front of the vegetable ground blankly, raised his head to the sky, breathing the dry and cold air. He unconsciously trembled his hands and grabbed a few handfuls of snow from the ground, covering his face burning with rapid, panic, expectation and countless complex mentalities. He rubbed back and forth, and slightly reduced the terrible temperature that seemed to be about to burn himself alive. Until a slight whiteness appeared on his cheeks as red as blood, he shook his head hard, expelling the thoughts that seemed to be gathering wildly in his mind, and finally recovered a little bit of Qingming, which was essential to think about the current problem.

This is a vegetable field with smooth and orderly distribution. It has high ridges and shallow ditches. There are black and rough feces pellets mixed between the mud and ice chips. In the vegetable bed next to it, there are only dozens of short vegetable roots cut from the bottom. This further confirms Lin Xiang’s guess -... These are the marks left by sharp objects such as knives. Only humans can manufacture them and use tools c

He lowered his head, widened his eyes, staring at the turbulent land under his feet full of countless questions. In the inside of his lips that were tightly closed, two rows of snow-white teeth bit together. He didn't say anything, nor could he say it. But the pupils in his eyes kept changing their gaze focus and looked around frantically and eagerly, desperately searching for every possible clue that could be used.

The most original purpose of human farming is to obtain enough food. Such a way of working is more direct than nomads or fishing and hunting.

The amount of harvest often depends on the land area or water, refined processing and other factors. However, it is undeniable that farming is indeed the most fundamental sign of human beings getting rid of barbaric ignorance and evolving into higher-level intelligent life.

Under your feet, there is indeed a fertile land that can be cultivated and suitable for crop growth.

It is very dark in color, and it is piled with a thick layer of humus formed by withered plants under the destruction of time. Among them, there may be concrete powder that has lost its solidification effect, or rubble fragments, or other ingredients. Animals will not have any interest in these things at all, but for plants, it is the basis for being able to enter the body with moisture, nourish and thrive.

It is not uncommon to have such a scene in the wilderness, or in a human settlement.

However, where I am currently located, "." is a ruin that was destroyed by war hundreds of years ago.

According to relevant statistics in 2012, Zhengzhou, which is where Lin Xiang is currently located, has a population of more than 10 million. The intensive attacks of the Skeleton Knights on the world are absolutely impossible to leak them. Of course, the missiles launched by the defenders can indeed intercept some of the warheads, turning the nuclear explosion that should have fallen on the ground into densely distributed radiation dust in high altitudes. However, Zhengzhou is obviously not so lucky... Before entering the ruins, Lin Xiang used instruments to measure the surrounding environment, and the average index obtained was about 880 to 860. This means that in the distant end of the old era, at least a 5 million tnt-ton nuclear warhead was dropped here.

Even mobs that already have a certain degree of radiation resistance cannot survive in this environment. Although they can freely travel between the middle and the severe radiation zone, they are not as unlimited as ordinary people imagine. In fact, the radiation index that mobs can withstand is about 650 c, which is a hundred times more than normal humans, but they are not completely fearless. When they deserve to die, they will die.

What's more, there are countless mutated creatures hidden in the ruins. It is hard to imagine that they will live in peace with humans. Driven by hunger and life, any creature will turn a weak alien that is different from itself into the lowest end of the natural food chain.

"They."..c Who are they?"

The question was wandering and entangled in Lin Xiang's mind like a snake that was invisible to the naked eye. He desperately devoured every trace of information that he knew and corresponded to the word "human" as much as possible. At the same time, tens of millions of question marks were created. It seemed as if countless copper hammers weighing a thousand pounds hit his heart and brain from different directions, shouting, howling, squeezing his mind, and tearing his consciousness apart just to find the answer he wanted to know in the fastest and most thorough way.

At this moment, an unconscious, strange feeling between excitement and shock suddenly rushed into Lin Xiang's thinking consciousness like a tide... This is the tentacles that have been diffusing and searching for the thoughts, and they sensed some abnormal movement.

That was a shadow... Even Lin Xiang, who has strong parasitic power, could not "see" the appearance of the other party without direct observation without the naked eye. "He" was walking out of the bottom of an old building about two kilometers southeast of the ruins, walking along the street towards Lin Xiang's location c slowly turned around, looking at the park gate corresponding to the direction of the visitor, Lin Xiang's face, which had gradually calmed down, showed a very strange thought.

The shadow."." appears very strangely.

How to say it? "." It is not to detect the outermost part of consciousness from the mind, and is slowly discovered by the tentacles of consciousness, and enter the core search circle bit by bit. Instead, it is very sudden, flashing in the consciousness coverage net in an extremely unexpected way. It is like a place that has been selected and has been built and completed, and the whole family happily moved into it. No one expected that just below the cornerstone, there was a nest of poisonous snakes that had just woken up from hibernation, spitting red letters, moving their bodies around for food.

Ordinary people who do not have evolutionary ability can imagine what kind of existence "thinking" is?

It is actually not mysterious. Its function is equivalent to another pair of eyes. Unlike the naked eye, thinking can penetrate actual obstacles such as walls, and detect the details of the normal vision that the position cannot be seen. Compared with other psychics, Lin Xiang's thinking consciousness detection ability is extremely powerful. From the moment he walked into the ruins, he generated a clear and detailed floor plan in his mind. The mutated creatures hidden underground and in various dark corners were marked one by one on the picture.

Of course, what the thinking consciousness can detect is only species with vitality... This is the effect of individual energy collision. The organism has magnetic fields of varying strengths and weaknesses, and the kinetic energy generated by blood flow is like the sonar c that actively transmits signals. However, the area where the shadow is located has not received any fluctuations since it appeared.... You should know that with the supernatural powers that Lin Xiang now possesses, even a comatose person who falls into a sleepy state, he can easily detect it.

Consciousness cannot "see" the appearance of the shadow clearly.

The reason why "he" is used as a synonym is because the shadow stands straight with its powerful hind limbs like a human. He walks very slowly, and his average moving speed is similar to that of a human being about five kilometers per hour.

Lin Xiang glanced at the direction where the shadow was walking and frowned slightly.

"He" and "it" are the most direct names that distinguish humans from other animals. Although the concept of "he" has been used in the subconscious mind.
