The process of absorbing water droplets is so smooth that it is almost like a joke.`
There was no need for Mimic Ji Shanqing or No. 46 to conduct any analysis. After No. 43 compared the photos and tried to absorb several rows of water droplets, everyone discovered the distribution pattern of pure water droplets: If the previous
If the number of water drops in a grid cannot be determined by addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, then the number of water drops in the next grid cannot be determined, then the water in the previous grid is polluted water. Once the pattern is found, everyone will
They all think this level is so simple that it makes people laugh or cry.
Obviously, Harry had no intention of embarrassing Seed in the first level.
Thinking this way, it makes sense - after all, as a farmer, he certainly hopes to sprout as many seeds as possible, and there is no reason to block them.
That is to say, if No. 42 had not stirred up such a situation in the middle, I am afraid that the matter would not have developed to the point where one was dead and the other was missing. So why No. 42 did this has become a question in everyone's mind.
of doubts.
It's just that although everyone was puzzled, they all seemed to have made an appointment, and no one asked a single word; each of them seemed to have forgotten the number 42, and absorbed the forty drops of water one after another as if nothing had happened.
beads.
It was precisely because the secret was almost leaked that No. 42's blood was spattered on the spot and his body was found in two places. Everyone has seen No. 46's ruthless methods and his determination to keep it secret. Naturally, no one will try to
Discover the secrets behind this.
...Except Lin Sanjiu.
"The total length of time No. 48's eyes stayed on the surface of the diary card was about 42 seconds," at this time, a soft and vague voice like a sympathetic message murmured in Lin Sanjiu's ear. It came from Si Ba'an - for some reason,
In just a few sentences, the person responsible for speaking changed several times: "...After he read the first and second lines of words, he jumped to the center of the diary card and stayed there.
About 26 seconds or so.”
It was unimaginable that all this information came from his subconscious mind - Lin Sanjiu still remembered the state when he was staring at No. 48.
Even though her full attention was focused on No. 48's eyes, and she could see every eyelash of the other party clearly - but all she could detect was that the other party's eyes were trembling back and forth rapidly several times.
A vague rectangular white shadow was reflected in the pupils, nothing more.
"Then what...?" She moved her lips silently and asked.
"Because his pupils are darker in color, many of the reflections of the words on the diary card cannot be seen clearly. In addition, he did not read the entire card, but just skipped to read a few lines of words, so he sorted it out
The information is also fragmented and intermittent."
As if taking a vaccination, Hui Chuyan spoke word by word in her ear.
"Say it." Lin Sanjiu had long been used to the situation where her voice changed halfway through a sentence, and the character in the hallucination also changed into another person, so his expression didn't change at all - he went back and forth around her.
The people walking around didn't even notice that she was having a conversation.
Only No. 46 would occasionally glance at her.
"Starting from the second line, the words are pm, 4, say, plan."
Even though he was mentally prepared, Lin Sanjiu was still enveloped in uncontrollable disappointment for a while.
PM should be the time of the diary card, and 4 is someone's number. As for the words "plan", it is of no help to her.
"This information is too little - what about the next line? What is the next line?" Lin Sanjiu paused for a few seconds and asked again in her mind.
Only this time, the voice that immediately sounded was not Chu Yan's reply, but Harry's - she was stunned and realized that it was an announcement broadcast to all the seeds: "Congratulations to everyone for successfully absorbing forty pure seeds.
Water beads! So, now all the seeds are invited to enter any earth chamber at will and climb to the top of the room. There is no requirement for the number of seeds in each earth chamber. Please be in place within fifteen seconds. After fifteen seconds
, you are about to start the germination period, and the seeds that have not been successfully planted will not be able to germinate."
Fifteen seconds - this time would be enough for them to finish walking down the corridor, let alone climb up to the top floor one by one by climbing on the edge of the cells.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little panicked all of a sudden. They hurriedly complained about "how can we have enough time in such a small amount of time!" while rushing towards the three small doors in the hall.
Naturally, Lin Sanjiu didn't have time to ask anymore. He raised his legs and ran towards the first earthen room - also rushing towards there was a figure with a turban on his back, it was No. 43. But it was No. 43.
Because he was the first to test the poison, he absorbed several contaminated water pellets in succession before anyone noticed the pattern. At this moment, his face was green and yellow, and he was panting. He ran a few steps along the corridor, and his legs became weak and he almost sat down.
.
"Hurry up!" Lin Sanjiu shouted to him, grabbed the back of his neck and lifted his body, bent one knee, and picked up No. 43 by the waist. "I'll take you into the earthen chamber.
Go, then it will be up to you!"
No. 43 seemed to be gasping for breath and responded "Okay" several times, but she didn't hear it clearly - because several seconds had passed, and for a moment, her ears were filled with the sound of wind coming in while running.
Running all the way into the earthen chamber, Lin Sanjiu hurriedly stuffed No. 43 into the compartment on the second floor, and then quickly climbed up to the top floor using her hands and feet - while climbing, she looked around.
Now there are only two people in this earthen room: myself and No. 43; I don’t know how the other people chose the earthen room.
Probably because she had rested for a few seconds, No. 43 seemed to have gained a little strength now; when she glanced back briefly, she saw the figure wearing a headscarf following behind her, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Countdown to the last five seconds, five," Harry's loud voice startled the two of them without warning, echoing clearly in the earthen room; at this time, Lin Sanjiu was only one space away from the top floor.
, and No. 43 was still quite a distance away from her feet, and even she could clearly hear the heavy, breathless voice.
When the word "four" sounded, Lin Sanjiu's fingers suddenly grasped the edge of the topmost compartment.
"Help, please," No. 43's weak plea floated up from the soles of his feet, "I really can't climb anymore——"
Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and didn't even lower her head - as if she was turning a deaf ear. With the help of her arms, she jumped onto the half-person-wide dirt path on the top floor.
"Four!"
"I really can't climb anymore," No. 43 was still clinging to the cubicle below her. When he saw that she had climbed to the top floor, although she was still pleading, her eyes were full of despair - he lowered his voice.
The voice roared: "Please!"
...Rather than calling for help, it is better to say that he is venting his fear.
Lin Sanjiu bit her lips until they turned white.
No. 43 also knew that in this situation, no one in the world would come back; he dug his fingers deeply into the soil and couldn't think of anything for a while, he could only tremble his lips and make no sound.
.
The countdown of "three" and the crisp "Grab it!" sounded at the same time, shocking No. 43. As soon as he looked up, he saw a black shadow falling from above -
—
"I'll pull you up as hard as I can, quickly!" Lin Sanjiu roared, and then she felt a heavy weight on her hand; if she hadn't dug her feet into the soil, she would have been dragged down this time - to death
Gritting her teeth, veins popped up on her forehead, and she pulled back again and again.
The penultimate second was so fast that it seemed to slip by without even having time to blink; when Harry's "One!" came out, No. 43's turban was already clear in Lin Sanjiu's field of vision, but he wanted to cover his entire body.
It was too late for anyone to pull him up.
No. 43's hasty and vague voice sounded vaguely from under his feet. It was unclear what he said. But Lin Sanjiu didn't want to listen at all. He just roared "Don't let go!" and then moved his whole body.
With strength, he suddenly lifted his arms——
Although she couldn't compare with her physical strength in her heyday, when she even exerted her energy to suck milk, she finally drew an arc in the air as she thought - the figure of No. 43, "Boom
"With a heavy sound, he was thrown onto the other side of the dirt road.
"It's sprouted!" Almost at the same time, Harry's voice rang again.
Before Lin Sanjiu could take a breath, the earth beneath her feet had rumbled and shook several times, and then she was rising upwards as if being supported by something; she hurriedly knelt down and continued to move
She stabilized her body in the violent shaking. In panic, she looked up and saw No. 43 lying on the ground and hugging the edge of the dirt road tightly, and she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
"As seeds of excellent quality, you have now successfully sprouted," Harry announced: "...but I have to say that the test in the seed stage is just the simplest first step."
Following his words, the ceiling of the earthen chamber rumbled open, and countless clods of earth fell in clusters like rain. The dazzling white light suddenly sprinkled down from the head, and Lin Sanjiu's eyes had already adapted.
Out of the drowsiness in the earthen room, her field of vision was suddenly illuminated by a strong light, causing her to squint for a while and unable to open her eyes.
Under the constant sway of the dirt road under her feet, she felt herself rising higher and higher - until a fresh breeze suddenly blew across her cheeks, and the skylight passed through her closed eyelids.
The originally dark field of vision was dyed orange.
...Lin Sanjiu had almost forgotten what the outside air smelled like.
Slowly opening her eyes little by little, the first thing that caught her eye was the blue sky in the distance. At her feet were endless fields, and the earth had closed up again without knowing when. At this time, she was standing on the high
On the ground, on an "earth bridge" that looks like an overpass - it seems to be the same earth road in the cave just now.
Lin Sanjiu's entire body, including her head and between her fingernails, was covered with a thick layer of soil. When the breeze blew over her body, all she could smell in her nose was the strong earthy smell of her own body.
When she looked up again, there was an earth bridge standing on the other end about a hundred meters away from her. On that bridge, there were also a group of gray-faced people standing. After careful counting, there were exactly four of them, obviously.
It was No. 45 to No. 48—unexpectedly, those four people all entered the same earthen room.
At this time, the four people had obviously not noticed her yet, and were just staring blankly in another direction. Lin Sanjiu followed their gazes and glanced into the distance, and was stunned and speechless.
Within the range of her vision, at the other end of the field, there was a pair of huge...shoes.
Even with Lin Sanjiu's height, she could only reach the toes of those shoes; looking up at her neck, there were two more spectacular shadows on the hill-like shoelaces.
, as if holding up the sky, stretching straight into the sky - further up, it is obscured by clouds and nothing can be seen clearly.
"Thank you so much just now," No. 43's voice, still trembling slightly after the disaster, rang from the other side of the earth bridge, causing Lin Sanjiu to come back to his senses. He gasped and walked from
He sat up on the ground and wiped the mud from his face: "...If it weren't for you, my life would have been lost here."
"I don't want to see unnecessary casualties either," Lin Sanjiu smiled at him, "...Besides, it happens to be something within my power."
No. 43 seemed unable to say anything more. He just nodded repeatedly, as if hesitating for a moment, and hesitated. After a long while, he said "thank you" in a low voice.
"Speaking of which, what on earth do we need to do?" Lin Sanjiu didn't want to talk about it all the time, so she immediately turned away from the topic and looked around. "...Those shoes are...
What's going on?"
As if he heard her question, Harry's voice suddenly penetrated the air loudly - his voice sounded much louder than when he was in the cave just now, making people's ears numb: "
Congratulations to everyone, you have successfully entered the bud stage!"
Apparently, the sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the pair of shoes.
"Now let me explain to you the precautions during the budding period." Harry rumbled: "First of all, I hope you will pay attention not to step off the earth bridge you are on. You need water, fertilizer and water during the budding period.
Nutrients will be transported to your body through the soil bridge... Oh, by the way, if you take off your shoes, your physical strength may recover faster. Your current state is equivalent to being planted in a field, that is, in the soil.
On the bridge; once you step off the earth bridge, it will be regarded as your root system as a plant being pulled out, that is to say - you will die immediately."
He happened to pause here, and Lin Sanjiu heard himself take a slight breath of air.
"New plant buds often attract many insect pests; but because I hope to grow purely natural, pollution-free plants, I will not actively spray pesticides. Your bud period is also ten days.
, if you want to successfully enter the next stage, you must survive these ten days of insect infestation."
...pest infestation?
Lin Sanjiu frowned.
So far, she has not seen anything like insects; but no matter what the "pest" is, as long as it is a problem that can be solved with force, it is not a big problem——
"By the way, because you are just plant buds now, so logically speaking, you cannot use force." Harry's prompt interrupted her thoughts just right.
"Can't use force?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned and immediately heard No. 45's surprised voice from the opposite bridge.
"Have you ever seen people killing insects on farm crops?" Harry asked innocently.
Yes - this copy is always particularly true in unexpected places.
"Then how do we avoid pests?" No. 46 asked loudly. "What exactly are pests?"
"Pests are, of course, bugs that come to eat you. But after being bitten by bugs, you will not only suffer some skin injuries, but more importantly, you will lose part of your physical strength - well, it is probably equivalent to a month.
The physical loss of eating; but you are also increasing your physical strength during the budding stage, so the situation should not turn out to be too bad. As for how to avoid... let's put it this way, you are now divided into two according to the selected earthen chamber.
Groups, each person in each group has an opportunity to talk to the insects. Make good use of this opportunity to escape from the pests!" (To be continued.)
