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

Chapter 51 Pollution
The courier said, "I didn't bring the vegetables and the blueprints for the shelter. If you really want to exchange them, I can bring them to you next time. But I suggest you exchange them for some food. The most important thing is to survive this zombie riot."

"There is a town library in Ailing Town. After the riot, you can go to the library to look for it, so as not to waste charcoal. Vegetables are not worth it. It is better to exchange them all for potatoes. Brother, I really care about you. Think about it carefully."

Huo Ying frowned. The courier didn't even have what he wanted. However, thinking of the mirror ghost sealed in the wooden box in the house, Huo Ying asked again: "Do you have any strange information?"

"Here we have it." The courier immediately took out a thick stack of documents from the bus. "This is what our courier organization sent to each courier. We also need to pay for the information. It contains the weird things recorded by XN City and the couriers. I also added a lot of notes in it. These are some special and weird handling methods, but you can't believe them all. I also recorded them based on hearsay."

"Okay, that's it. Next time you come, give me some more vegetables." Huo Ying decided to try his luck in the library, but he still refused to give him any vegetables.

The courier nodded. "Deal, but you have to wait a while. There is also a zombie riot in XN City, which lasted much longer than your town. Although the danger is lower, we can't carry out courier business for a while."

"Come on!" The courier patted Huo Ying's wooden armor and said, "See you next time."

After taking the robotic arm, Huo Ying did not put it on. After all, he was wearing wooden armor and it was not convenient to take it off now.

When Luna saw Huo Ying was about to leave, she hurriedly found a courier to exchange some food, then ran over and stopped Huo Ying and Liang Yao.

"Wait a minute, didn't you just say you wanted vegetables?" Luna glanced at Liang Yao, her eyes even hotter. If Huo Ying didn't have land that could accelerate plant growth, it would be impossible for him to have so much charcoal, let alone support a woman.

On the day of the playground assembly, Luna could tell that the poplar trees were new. This time, Huo Ying was selling a large amount of poplar charcoal. Moreover, Huo Ying and Liang Yao made a deal on the day of the assembly. Now the two are inseparable and are preparing to purchase vegetables. From any angle, Huo Ying was using the quick-growing land to purchase a large amount of supplies.

"I have vegetable seeds at home, all of which are improved seeds. If grown, they can be better than the vegetables you buy from the courier."

Huo Ying was curious: "Last time you came to me to trade, why don't you grow it yourself?"

"You want to buy vegetables after replacing the robot arm. Aren't you doing this for farming?" Luna explained, "We also have some, but we just grow them in pots in the room. We can't use up all the seeds, so we want to trade."

"What seeds do you have?"

"Carrot seeds and Jerusalem artichokes are suitable for planting outside, as they won't be eaten by black fog and flying insects. If you want to plant them indoors, I have onions, garlic, and peppers that are easy to grow." Luna deliberately talked about seasoning vegetables. In doomsday, everyone's mouth is tasteless, and the temptation of onions, ginger, garlic, and peppers is extremely strong.

Liang Yao, who was standing next to Huo Ying, swallowed subconsciously.

Huo Ying looked at Luna and Elsa, mother and daughter. He didn't want to make a deal before because he was too weak and was afraid that the mother and daughter would set some trap. Now, Huo Ying had no reason to refuse.

"I want all of these. What do you need in exchange?"

Luna's eyes lit up, and she tried to ask, "This is the first transaction, and since it's seeds that need to be cultivated, you can't get much in exchange. I can give you a few of each, and I can also teach you how to cultivate them. When you decide to exchange seeds in large quantities, we can add up the value of the seeds and cultivation technology and calculate it together."

Huo Ying glanced at Luna. Luna’s purpose was a bit too direct.

"Forget it, I don't like the hassle."

Huo Ying ignored Luna and turned away.

"Wait, that Yang Stone, just one Yang Stone will do. I will give you a few of each seed." Huo Ying turned around and took out a Yang Stone from his arms.

Luna took it, handed the Yang Stone to her mother Elsa, and then took out five paper bags of different colors.

"There are markings on the paper package, so don't plant the wrong ones. There are only a dozen seeds of each type. Try it first. The value of the seeds can't be that low. If you need a large amount of seeds, I'll talk to you."

Huo Ying did not answer, took the seeds, and left with Liang Yao.

Luna’s idea was correct, but it was useless to Huo Ying. With Wood Release, he only needed to get one seed, which was equivalent to getting countless seeds.

Elsa walked over to Luna, "Are you sure he'll need more seeds?"

"Not sure." Luna was very confident: "But once he starts mass production, he will be exposed. I don't believe he can resist not mass production. Besides, I have no ill intentions. He wants other seeds. Sooner or later, we will have a chance to trade."

The remaining group of newcomers who got off the bus included a father and son and a family of three. The father and son had honest faces. They waited for a long time and found that no one paid attention to them, so they bowed to the family of three who were also ignored. Then, one of them took out a machete from his bag, and they walked into the town side by side, looking for an empty house.

"Dad, they are both so awesome." The little girl raised her head, took off her hat and looked at Zhang father and son. Her hair was golden and the little girl was a mixed-race.

Huo Zhaohui, the little girl's father, raised his hand. On his wrist was a watch. After looking at the data displayed on the watch, Huo Zhaohui said, "The radiation values of those two weapons are extremely high. If I'm not mistaken, they are weapons smelted with Yangshi and iron ore. I didn't expect that besides the research institute, someone else has also developed this method."

Huo Zhenmei, the girl's mother, also has blonde hair. She changed her name to an oriental one after marrying Huo Zhaohui. "Those who can survive in a destroyed town until the investigation team rescues them are not ordinary people. That couple also has problems. I noticed in the car that the pollution value kept increasing, but after the couple left, the pollution value dropped."

"Mom, Dad, don't worry." The little girl held Huo Zhaohui with one hand and Huo Zhenmei with the other: "The people in this town are very powerful."

The little girl's eyes slid from Huo Ying to finally land on Hou Ping, who had been silent the whole time.

Hou Ping was standing far away, his pupils were red, and his eyes were fixed on Huo Ying. When he noticed the little girl's gaze, Hou Ping turned his head, and his pupils returned to normal. He saw the cute little girl and smiled kindly.

"Uncle, you are so pitiful."

The little girl also smiled cutely, without making any sound, but she made the same gesture with her mouth.

Hou Ping understood the little girl's lip language and subconsciously tightened the longbow on his back.

"No, if you want to move, come back."

A stuttering voice sounded in Hou Ping's mind.

Without daring to look at the little girl again, Hou Ping turned around and walked away. Soon, he disappeared into the alley.
