Chapter 75 Jingyuan and the new dress

When Jingyuan came to the fork in the road again, he could no longer see the crooked-necked tree. To be precise, the tree was burned down, like a collapsed building, with broken charcoal everywhere.

Nearly half of the tree trunks were still burning, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat and the smell of charcoal, similar to burning hair. Jingyuan carefully approached the charred field. On the ground were groups of mutated weaver sparrows that were roasted and blackened.

He was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, and put the weaver sparrows that had not yet been completely charred into the basket.

He collected these roasted birds in order to hang them on a meat drying rack to dry and make bird jerky.

If you really can't find any other source of meat, you can use these dried bird meat in an emergency.

According to observations, these bird meats are basically no different from ordinary roasted birds. They have a meaty aroma and are a very high-quality source of protein.

He didn't even know what his stomach looked like. In short, with his current digestion ability, there was no problem eating these bird meats, and he wasn't afraid of fungal infection. He was already infected anyway.

In the process of collecting and roasting birds, he discovered that these birds were not the same kind of birds. They were different sizes and colors, and the differences in body shape and feather texture were obvious.

He found some half-dead mutated weaver sparrows, most of which were the first batch of weaver sparrows that rushed out of their nests. They were not burned to death by the fire or fell to death. They were lucky enough to extinguish the flames on their bodies in the mud.

There are even a few weavers on the periphery that are almost unscathed. There are not even any scorch marks on the feathers. Some of the skin is exposed and stained with black mold.

However, these weaver birds showed no reaction and just lay paralyzed on the ground.

Jingyuan thought they had fallen to death at first, so he used fire tongs to clamp them, but when he clamped their heads, they actually started to struggle.

In response to contact with the outside world, these sparrows will have some instinctive unconditioned reflexes, but other than that, they lie motionless like a vegetative state with severed nerves.

It is easy to think that they were controlled by something before, like some kind of parasite living in their bodies and controlling their every move.

Just like the iron worm, this is a very terrible parasite that lays eggs in the water. Small arthropods, such as mantises, drink their eggs and become parasitized. The iron worm hatches and grows in the body of the parasitized person.

, and later can even control the behavior of the parasitized objects, making them actively dive into water sources, because the adult ironworms need to mate and reproduce in the water.

These flocks of weaver birds seemed to be controlled by a big consciousness, which reminded Jingyuan of the "Industrial Fungus Tree" in the city center.

It’s a tree again. There is also a tree at Shushan City No. 1 High School. It seems that nothing good happens if there is a relationship with the tree.

He picked up three baskets of roasted weaver sparrows, a total of 147. Some of them were too badly burned, so he ignored them.

Open the map and there will still be an exclamation mark on this monster. If there are still loot that have not been collected, they can only be found in the bird's nest.

The fire was still burning, the air was scorching, and the heat wave was rolling, distorting his vision. He took the fire tongs and dug through the ashes and charcoal, peeling these things apart, trying to find something special.

Half an hour later, he found a dark, egg-shaped object among the ashes. It was very large. The rough exterior looked like a burnt lime shell, like a large bluestone, but the shape was too big.

Perfect, unlike something produced in nature.

He took the fire tongs and knocked the shell of the egg, and the ash powder fell off, and the shell cracked like a turtle shell. He used pliers to peel off the shell, and a ball of soft mud rolled out from it.

Like a ball of black sludge wrapped in a thin film.

Is this it?

Jingyuan took out a glass jar from his travel bag, put on his gloves, and stuffed the sludge into the jar.

[The evolution material "Small Mold Colony" has been obtained, please select skill upgrade in the character panel]

Is this thing a colony of mold?

Jingyuan observed carefully through the glass, and suddenly thought of the mutated weaver sparrow he met for the first time. That guy had a few fungi-like things in its claws.

So, are the mutant weavers actually collecting mold?

This thing is actually an evolutionary material. If he absorbs this colony, what will it look like?

Anyway, he sealed the mold colony and put it away first.

Let’s not consider using it for the time being. After all, there is no way to predict the direction of evolution. Who can be sure that it will develop in a good direction?

For example, Agumon can evolve into ZombieGreymon by mistake.

After walking around for a few more times and finding nothing else, he left.

After returning home, he threaded the bird meat with a sweater needle and hung it in the attic to dry. He kept the mold colony in a compartment in the basement.

He didn't forget Xiao Yun'er's new skirts. These skirts had been washed very clean by him.

At the appointed time, he picked a white dress and a sky blue suspender skirt that best matched Xiao Yun'er's figure, and went to the city center.

This section of the road is not too long. He can get there in about an hour by bicycle.

Xiao Yun'er was still reading comics. In her free time, she also folded some paper cranes and placed them in the crystal ball base.

Jingyuan felt that coming to Shunxiang Supermarket was like visiting her home. He took out the folded skirt and handed it to Xiao Yun'er, but he discovered one thing, this child couldn't wear clothes at all.

She put the sky blue dress on her body, and within a few moments, the dress was torn.

She looked over with an innocent look on her face, as if she was asking for help.

Jingyuan touched her head helplessly, but did not change her clothes with his own hands, but used himself as a model to demonstrate for her.

He raised Xiao Yun'er as his daughter, so naturally he wouldn't have any strange thoughts about her.

He gestured with the skirt on his body, demonstrating the movements and sequence of dressing for Xiao Yun'er.

Of course, before getting dressed, he had to change out of his old clothes. After confirming that he had handed over this knowledge to her, he took Xiao Yun'er to the supermarket and asked her to complete the change alone.

When she reappeared, she had taken off her old skirt and put on a new skirt, but the hem and neckline had not been straightened.

Jingyuan helped her take care of it a little, and then on a whim, he tied her loose hair into a ponytail with a rubber band.

Xiao Yuner had a new look. This pleated dress and high ponytail made her look like a lively and sunny girl. Jingyuan brought her a small mirror. She stood in front of the mirror and looked to her left.

Looking to the right, he showed a slight smile and seemed very satisfied with his outfit.

Jingyuan feels that she is becoming more and more like a human girl. It would be great if she could talk. He really wants to chat with her.
