Chapter 10 Jing Yuan and the Fruit Shop

The streets were deserted, the roads were overgrown with weeds, and black roots broke through the asphalt.

Cars on the roadside were covered in dust, half of the houses with collapsed walls, scorched earth after the fire, and car wreckage scattered everywhere

After walking for only five minutes, Jingyuan saw what a "disaster" was.

Going from upstairs to downstairs, Jingyuan discovered that the city was not as complete as he imagined. The land had suffered large-scale bombings, the ruins of collapsed houses blocked the road ahead, and some deep potholes were filled with debris.

It is covered with grass, and you may step on the air and fall if you are not careful.

Even after several years, there is still a smell of gunpowder smoke and burning gasoline in the air. There must have been large-scale unrest here. You can imagine that scene if you close your eyes.

The traffic system is completely out of control, with crashing cars and people fleeing everywhere.

The night was as noisy as a busy city, with rapid and sharp trumpets, screams of the crowd, the sound of burning fires, gunshots, and explosions.

It was a hellish scene. He smelled the smell of burnt corpses under the soil. It was thick and lingering. Many people had died in this place. The corpses were covered under the soil and became nutrients for the plants. To this day

None have been completely decomposed.

Perhaps the bombers had dropped bombs towards the city center. Along the way, he didn't see many zombies. Instead, it was the ruins and potholes that made it difficult for him to move.

The main reason is that his eyesight is too poor. Although his hearing and smell are more than a hundred times more sensitive than before, these two senses cannot help him avoid those hidden "traps".

Once he almost missed his footing and fell into a large pit covered by lush weeds.

Fortunately, Xiaobai grabbed the rope. Compared to a newcomer like him, Xiaobai obviously had enough experience to avoid the potholes created by the bombing.

Not only that, it seemed to be able to identify which ruins were structurally unstable. When it crossed an arched bridge about eight meters high, it grabbed Jingyuan and pulled the rope hard to prevent Jingyuan from crossing the bridge.

past.

Jingyuan was doubtful at first. It wasn't until he followed Xiaobai's footsteps to the dry river bed that he saw clearly that the load-bearing columns of the arched bridge had deep cracks, the cement fell off, and the twisted steel bars were exposed.

This bridge is already classified as a dangerous building. It seems to be intact from the bridge deck, but in fact it is full of holes. It is not easy to maintain the current balance. If he steps on it again, it may cause the entire bridge deck to collapse.

.

Thinking of this, Jingyuan felt happy.

Fortunately, he took Xiaobai with him when he went out. If he went out alone, he might have fallen into a pit, causing the sky to be inoperable and the earth to respond. Even if he was lucky enough not to miss the mark in front of him, he would probably fall into a trap on this bridge.

seedling.

A lucky person may be able to cross the bridge smoothly, but he does not want to risk his life to see what his luck will be like today.

Having "Senior" with him gives him peace of mind. He feels that he can completely trust Xiaobai and follow its lead with confidence.

After taking half an hour longer than expected, he and Xiaobai finally arrived in front of Xianxuan Fruit Shop.

We took a lot of detours on the way and encountered some groups of zombies, but with Xiaobai's reminder, we all lurked past them without any danger, and there was no fight.

In front of you is a glass-decorated store. It is a fruit store after all. To let customers in, you have to let them see the fresh fruits on the shelves.

Just like a bakery, passers-by may have no intention of shopping, but when they see the fresh grapes and apples under the light through the glass, they will reflexively secrete saliva and walk into the store to spend some money.

Fan.

The owner of Xianxuan Fruit Shop had obviously done some research, so he decorated the entire store wall with transparent glass, but all the glass was broken. The ground was covered with glass slag, and the signboard surrounded by colored lights broke into three pieces.

, where the signboard originally hung, only the torn copper wires and wires remained.

Half of the front of a red car crashed into the glass door. Spider-web-like ice cracks spread around the front of the car. Jingyuan could smell the rotten smell coming from the driver's seat. There was a body there, and a steel pillar was just right.

Cutting into the driver's seat, the car owner probably didn't even leave his body intact.

Jingyuan picked up a rusty crowbar from the broken glass. This fruit shop was marked as a "treasure box" on the map, but it had obviously been robbed by a group of people. Even if there were any leftover fruits, they would have rotted long ago.

If it falls away, what else can be left as a treasure?

Wherever there is a "treasure chest" in the game, there must be a weapon or prop.

Could it be a dropped gun? But that would have almost no effect on Jingyuan. He already had a gun, but if he could find bullets, it would be pretty good.

He squatted down, touched Xiaobai's head, and pointed at the door of the fruit shop, indicating that he wanted to go in.

Xiaobai stood at the door and sniffed, bit his trouser leg, and pulled back. There seemed to be something inside that made him feel dangerous.

Jingyuan frowned. Logically speaking, the location of the "treasure box" is a treasure that can be obtained for free, and there will be no monsters or special events.

His nose only smelled the smell of corpses, and his ears didn't hear any strange sounds. Could it be that Xiaobai noticed something that he couldn't detect?

He thought for a moment, put away the dog leash around Xiaobai's neck, took out his flashlight and pistol, and walked ahead.

We have come, so there is no reason to retreat in the face of battle.

He is not an unarmed refugee. He has a knife and a gun. He is afraid of nothing. Being cautious does not mean being timid. When he is in danger, he will do it when he deserves it.

Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Xiaobai followed him.

When you go out to search for supplies, you will inevitably encounter this kind of situation, and it must be used to it.

After all, dogs are animals that recognize their owners, and they have to decide who is the boss.

The light from the flashlight illuminated the front, and Jingyuan walked into the room and passed over the dented front of the red car.

There was nothing on the fruit stall, and the whole room was empty, as if the moving company had come.

There was only one thing that attracted Jingyuan's attention.

Its pitch-black vines grow wildly on the ceiling and walls like wall-crawlers. The roots pierce the concrete floor and penetrate deeply into the soil. White threads like spider cocoons stick to the walls. Among those thread-like

In front of the object hangs a large and plump fruit, like a blue-black mango.

It resembles both a plant and a living thing. There is a strong stench of pus coming from those silk-like cocoons, as if there is a pool of melted blood inside.

Jingyuan didn't know if this thing would actively attack like in the movie. The first time he saw it, he stopped and stopped taking a step forward.

He tentatively stepped back, but the "unknown creature" showed no response.

Jingyuan kept a safe distance from it, took out the crowbar he picked up from his bag, and threw it hard at the branch where the "mango" was hanging.

It went surprisingly smoothly, and "Mango" was easily knocked down by him.

The "mango seedling" didn't respond at all, as if it were an ordinary plant.

Jingyuan picked up another steel bar from the ground and slowly poked the "mango" over.

After getting it in his hand, he opened the map and already received a prompt to obtain new props.

[Item name: Mutated Mango

Effect: After consumption, your maximum health will be increased by 15 points.

Description: The fruit shop owner hated the robbers. He knelt down and begged them not to take away everything, but no one listened to him. In the end, everyone became the nourishment of the mango.
