Chapter 36 Ripening
After the three people returned to the car, the bus started instantly and continued driving along the road.
Bai Yingying was a little surprised when she saw Ying Xian being carried back by Shu Kongdu. She didn't expect that Shu Kongdu, who looked so prosperous before, would actually carry someone away.
But after Shu Kongdu put the person on the car, he still looked worried, which made Bai Yingying very envious.
It must feel good to be protected like this by a person with superpowers!
She completely ignored the fact that Ying Xian was also a person with supernatural powers, and his combat ability was the strongest among the four in the team.
All I could think about was how great it would be if I could be protected like this by a person with powers.
The car quickly drove away from this small village, and the scene before everyone's eyes instantly broadened.
The road is surrounded by green farmland, but Ying Xian is so weak now that he can't even lift half of his fingers, and has no idea of going down to transplant a piece of farmland into the space.
After Su Zhengwen had a rest, he changed shifts with the driver and continued driving in his place.
Now everyone doesn’t know which way to go to City D. They only know that City D is northeast of City K, so they can only rely on a small compass to identify the direction, and then drive in the northeast direction.
.
It seems that the delay on the road may be far more than expected.
Obviously it usually only takes four hours by highway, and it may only take more than five hours by national highway. Everyone was stunned for almost half a day and still hadn't left K City.
The car was driving all the way, and the already small fuel tank was now being consumed rapidly.
It seems that I have to find a gas station next and fill up the car with oil.
The sky is getting darker, and the road at night is already full of countless accidents and dangers. In order to save power and prevent zombies from being attracted by the light of the headlights, it is best not to turn on the lights at night.
But without car lighting, for an unknown journey, the accidents and dangers that originally were only 5% soared to 50%.
No one suggested driving at night, but they all suggested finding a safe place to spend the night.
Before the sun went down completely, Su Zhengwen drove the car and found a place at the foot of the mountain to park the car. Then, just like at noon, there were people cooking and others collecting firewood.
There was a clear stream near the foot of the mountain, and the three people who had fought got out of the car and went to take a quick wash.
When they were fighting just now, their bodies were more or less stained with blood, which made the whole car stink. In addition, it was a confined space with no ventilation, and the smell was really disgusting.
After changing into clean clothes, Ying Xian felt refreshed.
Zhou Yannan had already picked a bag of green and yellow wild oranges from the mountain and happily brought them to Chu Zheng and Ying Xian.
"There are actually wild orange trees on this mountain. They look very sweet. I will bring them to you as soon as possible!"
It had been so long since the apocalypse began, and it had been a long time since everyone had eaten fresh fruit. Chu Zheng excitedly picked up one, peeled it off, broke it in half, handed half to Ying Xian, and stuffed the other half directly into his mouth.
His teeth bit open the white film, and the sour taste quickly exploded in his mouth. Chu Zheng's face instantly wrinkled up, and he quickly spat out the orange in his mouth.
"Zhou Yannan! Haven't you tasted it? It's so sour!"
She was so frantic that she wanted to hit Zhou Yannan, but the other party nimbly dodged away.
"Oh, hey, Senior Sister Chu, I just want to share something good with you as soon as possible, but it's just a bad thing with good intentions, you are not allowed to do it!"
Seeing Zhou Yannan running away, the helpless Chu Zheng had no choice but to summon supernatural powers to spill out from her fingertips, and then rinsed her mouth thoroughly with water three times before barely getting rid of the sour taste.
Just when she was about to complain to Ying Xian, she saw a layer of emerald green light lingering around the orange in her hand.
Ying Xian ripened the oranges directly, and then stuffed the oranges into his mouth calmly.
Although ripe wild oranges are still a little sour, most of them are still sweet, just enough to be eaten.
Chu Zheng was silent, she felt aggrieved.
Ying Xian patted her shoulder comfortingly, asked Zhou Yannan to bring over the oranges, and then used his superpower to ripen the sour oranges.
When the green light faded, the originally green-yellow peel of the orange had completely turned yellow, and it was slightly larger than before.
Ying Xian curled his lips, took two oranges and handed them to Chu Zheng, and then asked Zhou Yannan to share the oranges with others.
After being ripened, oranges are basically sweet. Everyone cherishes this hard-won fruit and is eager to break one segment into two and eat it.
And those children were even more happy and would not let go of the oranges.
If there are orange trees on the mountain, there should also be wild vegetables. Thinking of this, some aunts organized a group to go up the mountain to look for wild vegetables.
The trip was not in vain. Within twenty minutes, the aunts came back with several bags of edible wild vegetables.
But these wild vegetables look relatively small, and there probably won’t be much of them after blanching.
The aunts who had seen Ying Xian's skills just now looked at her with hope. Ying Xian smiled and sighed, and walked over to ripen the wild vegetables in the plastic bag.
The wild vegetables that were originally only packed in a few bags grew rapidly under the catalysis of supernatural powers. They fell to the ground and looked like a lot.
The aunts happily took wild vegetables to cook wild vegetable noodles, and added diced sausages and eggs, which smelled delicious.
After finishing the meal, the surroundings were completely dark, with only the light of the fire flickering.
In this case, when it gets dark, there is basically no other activity except returning to the car to rest.
Everyone simply cleaned up the place where they had eaten under the light of the fire. Shukongdu blocked up the top and bottom of the fire with earth to prevent the unextinguished sparks from being blown to the mountain by the night wind and causing a mountain fire.
After everything was arranged, everyone returned to the car and the doors were completely closed, leaving only a few small cracks in the rear windows to maintain air circulation.
Ying Xian sat on the seat, took out the crystal nuclei collected these days from the space, held them in his hands and looked at them.
Although the white light of the crystal core is weak, when gathered together, it is almost as bright as a night light.
A young man turned around from the seat in front of Ying Xian, lying on the backrest and looking at the crystal core in Ying Xian's hand.
The young man's name is Qi Zhao. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and was discharged from the army at the age of twenty, so he is younger than Ying Xian.
"Sister Ying, this crystal core in your hand is so beautiful. Have you figured out how to use it?"
This question really stopped Ying Xian from asking. She shook her head and said, "No, I don't know how to use the crystal core now. I can only wait to meet someone who has used the crystal core in the future to find a solution."
After Qi Zhao heard these words, his eyes shone brightly under the reflection of the light from the crystal core.
"Why bother? Just find someone to try. What do you think of me?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Ying Xian was stunned, but also everyone who heard these words was stunned.
After learning about the existence of the crystal core, although everyone had the idea of testing it on people, they didn't say anything.
Before, they dared to try Chu Zheng's water because it was water released by superpowers and would not be that dangerous.
But that's a crystal core! A crystal core dug out of a zombie's brain!
