The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 153 Huo Zhaohui, Sagittarius

In a secretly built safe house.

Huo Zhaohui touched his cracked lips and picked up a mineral water bottle filled with yellow liquid.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

After drinking it all, Huo Zhaohui threw the mineral water bottle to the ground and stomped on it hard.

"This damn rain has finally stopped. The teacher can finally arrange for someone to deliver the medicine!"

In order to save resources, the safe house is completely airtight.

In this way, the walls of the safe house will be composed of yang stone, and the evil spirits will not easily break into the walls because there are no gaps. Black fog and flying insects will not get in either, so there is no need to burn poplar wood, which can reduce the resources that need to be stored in the safe house.

However, the safe house can only be opened once. Once Huo Zhaohui goes out and wants to come back, there will be a gap in the safe house, and it will not be able to block the black fog and flying insects.

Therefore, Huo Chaohui was unable to go out to fetch water. After drinking up all the stored water resources, he could only survive on the recycled water he produced.

Fortunately, the safe house stored enough water resources. If it only relied on self-circulation, Huo Chaohui would have collapsed long ago.

"Which academician arranged this? This is really too much!"

Huo Zhaohui cursed angrily. It was okay to have self-circulating water, but who knew which guy had stored most of the food in the safe house, enoki mushrooms, in order to save food!

Never mind, it's the end of the world after all.

Huo Chaohui gritted his teeth, looked at the instruments in the safe house, and made sure that the rain had stopped outside and it was still daytime. Then he pushed open the door and climbed into the room above the safe house.

Squeak.

Huo Chaohui had just crawled back to the ground and closed the door of the secret safe house when the door of his own house was pushed open.

A man with tattered clothes but a happy face pushed open the door.

Seeing someone breaking into his room, Huo Chaohui subconsciously touched the mechanism on the arm guard. If the person showed any abnormality, Huo Chaohui would launch an attack.

"Hey, this room is occupied by you."

The visitor was just surprised at how fast Huo Zhaohui was, and then he greeted him cheerfully: "There's no one next door to you, right? Then I'll take your next door. From now on, we'll be neighbors, and we'll take care of each other."

Having said that, the person quickly left the room.

Huo Zhaohui was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

Neighbor?

This word is already unfamiliar.

Huo Zhaohui had no idea what was going on and didn't dare to move. He lay on the wall and listened carefully to the noise coming from next door.

Suddenly, the man opened the house next door and moved something in.

"What's going on outside? Is the investigation team transferring people here?"

Huo Zhaohui pushed open the door doubtfully, and warm light shone on him.

In mid-air, a White Zetsu light bulb that was cast with the Light and Heavy Rock Technique was floating. The soft light emanating from the White Zetsu light bulb not only supplemented the dim sunlight, but also made the cold wind a few degrees warmer.

There were now nearly a hundred people standing on the originally deserted street.

People were choosing houses, and many women were gathering together to discuss living together.

Behind each person was a large wooden barrel filled with potatoes and charcoal.

A woman was also looking at Huo Zhaohui's house. When she saw Huo Zhaohui coming out, she knew that the house was occupied. She smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, you already live here. I'll change to another one. Well, we will be neighbors from now on. Please take care of me."

Please take care of me again! In the apocalypse, does real care exist?
Huo Zhaohui's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, but he pretended to be polite and said to the woman, "Hello, hello. Please take care of me in the future."

As Huo Zhaohui spoke, the woman's eyes instantly became confused. After holding on for a few seconds, the woman couldn't hold on any longer and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The man who moved next to Huo Zhaohui came over and said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Good boy, when you see a woman, you just say you will take care of her in the future. When a grown man greets you, you pretend not to hear it, right?"

Although the man's expression was dissatisfied, his voice was light and it was obvious that he was joking.

Huo Zhaohui quickly replied: "Brother, don't punctuate your sentences like that. I didn't react just now."

Oh my god.

The man wanted to reach out and hug Huo Zhaohui, but as soon as Huo Zhaohui opened his mouth, the man suddenly jumped away as if he saw something strange: "Brother, did you eat shit?"

It's not that men are impolite, but the tone of Huo Zhaohui's words is too strong when he opens his mouth.

You bunch of untouchables!

Huo Zhaohui's face froze. Although he was furious, he didn't know how to refute.

"Brother, it's okay. This is the end of the world. Even if you eat it, it's understandable. After all, who doesn't want to live?"

The man perhaps felt that what he had just said was too harsh, so he quickly changed his words and tried to comfort her.

"I didn't eat it!" Huo Zhaohui finally couldn't help but yelled: "Even if I die, I will never eat that kind of thing! I ate it! I just kept eating enoki mushrooms!"

This guy has been eating enoki mushrooms.

Huo Zhaohui's shout was so loud that everyone on the entire street looked over at once, with shock and sympathy in their eyes.

"Uh, um, big brother, I was wrong. You ate enoki mushrooms." The man's eyes were full of pity, and his voice was full of apology: "My fault, my fault, big brother, to express my apology, I will give you a potato."

As he spoke, the man ran back to his wooden barrel, took out a potato from his share and gave it to Huo Zhaohui.

After hesitating for a long time, the man finally found a reason: "Enoki mushrooms are not nutritious. From now on, I'll just eat potatoes."

"Yes, yes, eating enoki mushrooms is not nutritious. I'll give you a potato as well." The woman who was offended by Huo Zhaohui's breath finally came to her senses. She hurriedly comforted Huo Zhaohui with the man, and took out a potato from her share and stuffed it into Huo Zhaohui's hand.

You bunch of untouchables!

As an academician, Huo Zhaohui was actually ridiculed by two ragged untouchables.

"Brother, with Lord Otsutsuki here, our lives have changed. You should eat better food from now on. If you work hard, you can even ask Lord Otsutsuki for rice."

People on the street also noticed the situation here. After learning that Huo Zhaohui lived on enoki mushrooms, they took out a potato from their own share.

"Brother, come on, our future will definitely get better and better."

"Brother, you don't have to reply, just listen carefully. From today on, our efforts will be rewarded."

"Brother, I want to give you a mask, but I don't have one, so I can only give you this pair of socks that I've worn for two and a half years."

You bunch of untouchables!

As Huo Zhaohui watched the potatoes around him increase in number, his eyes suddenly turned red. Huo Zhaohui tilted his head back, trying hard not to let the tears flow down, fearing that he would not be able to hold back. Huo Zhaohui raised his hand and wiped his eyes with his socks.

You bunch of damned untouchables actually moved an academician!
This is the end of the world, and you are still distributing food to outsiders!

Could it be that I am already dead, and everything now is just an illusion before death?

"Brother Enoki, we are holding a survival party tonight, do you want to come?"

Huo Zhaohui looked over and saw that the person who spoke was the woman who gave him the socks.

"Of course I have to go!" Huo Zhaohui squeezed his palms hard. If this was a dream, he would hold on for a while longer and never wake up. Huo Zhaohui didn't know who the Otsutsuki was, but he imitated the people on the street, first tidying up the room, and then lining up with everyone to the side of the hill.

"This place has turned into a poplar forest!"

"What is this! Is the end of the world, or is this the power of the infected?"

Huo Zhaohui was secretly surprised, and then he saw Bai Jue marching out of the forest, each carrying a thick sapling on his shoulder.

Afterwards, everyone was given a sapling, and the task assigned to everyone by Bai Zetsu was to plant poplar trees around the town.

Huo Chaohui looked at Bai Jue in surprise. He had seen this kind of creature before entering the safe house. At that time, every White Jue was skinny, but now the body of Bai Jue was more perfect than that of a fitness coach.

"It turns out that this kind of creature is controlled by someone." Huo Chaohui lowered his head, fearing that Bai Jue would find out that he was a later joiner, but the Bai Jue didn't care at all. They didn't even check his identity and gave Huo Chaohui a poplar sapling.

In the eyes of these creatures, poplar wood is so cheap!
Huo Chaohui silently took the sapling and left with the crowd in a low-key manner. Originally, he wanted to silently ponder what he should do after mastering the information, but soon, Huo Chaohui was infected by the happy atmosphere of the survivors around him, and began to dig holes and plant trees enthusiastically.

After finishing everything, Huo Chaohui discovered that in Ailing Town, there was no black fog or flying insects after dark. The white light bulbs floated quietly in the sky like street lights, making the night less scary.

It was the first time for everyone to experience such a day. Instead of sleeping, everyone piled up the dead branches and leaves in the poplar forest and lit a bonfire.

Although there is only one kind of food, potatoes.

But the survivors still made flowers out of potatoes.

Baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, fried shredded potatoes, and stir-fried potato chips. For a moment, the whole street was filled with the aroma of potatoes.

"Brother Enoki, try my roasted potatoes."

The woman who gave Huo Zhaohui the socks handed him a bunch of potatoes.

Huo Zhaohui looked along the skewers of potatoes. The woman was very pretty and had a gentle smile, which was different from Huo Zhenni's gentleness. Huo Zhenni's gentleness was cold, but the gentleness in the eyes of the woman in front of him was full of sunshine and hope.

Huo Zhaohui took the potato skewer and took a big bite: "So white!"

Ok?
Huo Zhaohui bit his tongue hastily and immediately changed his words: "No, it's so beautiful!"

ha?
"No, no, I mean, it's delicious!"

"I understand, I understand, Brother Enoki, you are really interesting."

Huo Zhaohui was very happy that night. In XN City, the authorities also organized various festivals to dilute the sadness of the end of the world, but everyone still couldn't wipe off the gloom on their faces.

The festival is just a useless formality.

If the problem of survival is not solved, no matter how many festivals, activities, and promotions are created, they cannot make people really smile.

Huo Chaohui used to represent the government, and he was quite contemptuous at that time. It was obvious that the government had already tried every possible means, so why were you poor people still pretending? Why aren't you laughing?

Today, looking at the soft light bulbs in the sky and feeling the cool evening breeze, without the threat of zombies and rain ghosts, and without the interference of black fog and flying insects, Huo Zhaohui found that the corners of his mouth were so raised that he couldn't suppress them at all.

It turns out that the real holiday is relaxation, not the holiday itself.

Before, he sat in a safe laboratory, and no matter how hard he thought, he could not figure out how to restore the confidence of the people of XN City in the doomsday.

Because XN City has never really considered letting the people relax.

Huo Zhaohui secretly looked at the poplar trees planted on both sides of the street.

He always thought that if such an important resource was distributed to the people, someone would definitely hide it and it would definitely be wasted.

Unexpectedly, everyone took the initiative to supervise and every tree was actually transported to the town.

On the contrary, the resources distributed by the government in XN City are often supervised by infected people, and only one in ten of them is actually implemented.

Untouchable.

Huo Zhaohui's heart ached.

He had always misunderstood this word.

The people have never been humble.

The infected people have forgotten that they are also ordinary people and have belittled their origins.

"Brother Enoki, what are you thinking about?"

The woman saw Huo Zhaohui was in a daze, and then moved closer to Huo Zhaohui.

"I wonder if I can get married and have children here if I work hard."

Huo Zhaohui said so.

The woman was startled, but she did not blush. Instead, she looked up at the sky with hope: "I don't know, but I thought the moon would never appear again. But today, I saw him, and he also shone on me."

Everyone played until the bonfire went out. The poplar wood of Doomsday was very resistant to burning, so everyone played for most of the night.

Huo Zhaohui returned to his room and lay down on the bed very comfortably. After thinking for a while, he might take out a pair of socks from his pocket and cover his eyes with them.

Suddenly, Huo Zhaohui sat up from the bed with a quick mind. He immediately put his left hand on the arm guard of his right hand, and the weapon on the arm guard was immediately ejected.

It's a needle.

There was an extra person in Huo Zhaohui's room at some point, and that person had actually come to Huo Zhaohui's bed.

Seeing the syringe shooting towards him, the man did not dodge. Instead, he stretched out his hand and used his skillful strength to remove the force of the syringe, and held the syringe intact in his hand.

"I've heard that the liquid medicine prepared by Academician Huo is difficult to resist even level 3 infectious agents." The visitor whispered, "I was sent by the old dean. I'm a human ghost warrior with a title, sequence 18, Sagittarius, and I'm here to deliver the sequence 3 infectious virus to Academician Huo Yue."

Sequence eighteen!
Huo Chaohui slowly put down his arms. He Lili was a human ghost experimental subject. Her strength was probably at the peak of the second-level infected, but her sequence was outside the top 100.

Ranked eighteenth in the sequence and also having a title, this means that the experimental subject in front of him is comparable to the best among the third-level infected people.

"Why did you come?"

Huo Zhaohui tried his best to make his voice calm, not wanting Sagittarius to discover his complicated emotions.

"Academician Huo, I set out from XN City after the rain stopped and arrived at Ailing Town before dark. You were always sticking with the untouchables, so I had no chance to get close to you."

Untouchable?

Huo Zhaohui frowned: "They are pariahs, then what are you? Something neither human nor cunning?"

Sagittarius was stunned: "You, aren't you afraid of death?"

"I was willing to be injected with virus number two for the sake of the fate of mankind. Tell me, am I afraid of death for the sake of the untouchables you mentioned?"

Sagittarius looked at Huo Zhaohui in amazement for a while, then bowed his head.

"Congratulations, Academician Huo, you have passed the test that the old dean arranged for me to give you. The sequence number two potion is yours."

Haha, haha.

Huo Zhaohui laughed dryly twice.

"Teacher, he still doesn't trust me."
