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

Chapter 86 Spice (3K chapter, please order first)

The living one is a wooden man.

Xiao Huo Huo stared at him, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

If Huo Ying is alive, it means that He Lili and her gang are dead.

How could an ordinary person who is not even an infected person kill the weirdo without any harm?

It must be a level three infected person who took action.

Only in this way can he kill He Lili, who possesses strange abilities, while ensuring that Huo Ying is not injured.

It was she who first found the third-level infected person in the town.

Without saying anything, Xiao Huo Huo's expression returned to calm and he pretended to know nothing.

Huo Chaohui glanced at Huo Ying and seemed very dissatisfied with him.

"This guy is so lucky. There's obviously something wrong with He Lili. She didn't even make a move." Huo Zhaohui looked around at everyone without leaving any trace, and then asked in confusion: "Huh? None of He Lili's group came?"

Xiao Huo Huo did not respond. He was full of contempt for Huo Chaohui in his heart. He had no idea how this guy got into the research institute. Apart from his self-righteous and random analysis, he was completely useless.

Huo Zhaohui didn't know what Xiao Huo Huo was thinking, but speculated: "He Lili was so eager to attack Hu Caigen, there is no reason for her to let the wooden man go. Could it be that He Lili was discovered by the third-level infected person in the town?"

Huo Zhaohui suddenly realized: "Let's go to Hu Caigen's residence now, maybe we can find some clues of the third-level infected person!"

Xiao Huo Huo almost laughed out loud, shook his head helplessly, and pursed his lips and said, "If we go to Hu Caigen's house together, we will be too conspicuous. You should go by yourself. If you find anything or have any plans, just let me know. We will divide the work. You will be responsible for planning and I will be responsible for taking action."

Huo Zhaohui didn't hear Xiao Huo Huo's ridicule at all. Instead, he said to Huo Zhenni solemnly, "Your mission is to protect Xiao Huo Huo, so you stay here and pretend to trade. After the trade is over, just go home and wait for me."

After arranging the tasks, Huo Chaohui hurriedly left the road and returned to the town.

"Mom Jenny, this guy, was he sent by the research institute to disgust me? How could he be so stupid?" Little Huo Huo looked at Huo Zhaohui's serious back and finally couldn't help laughing.

Huo Zhenni frowned: "I think this may be the research institute's assessment of you. Even if Huo Zhaohui is arrogant and incompetent, you should treat it with a normal mind and remember not to say such remarks again."

Huo Zhenni held Xiao Huo Huo's hand and secretly activated her ability: "It's okay for you to complain in front of me, but if the people from the research institute hear you, they will have to examine you, give you injections, and do a bunch of tests."

"Yes, thanks to you, Mother Jenny." Xiao Huo Huo's eyes calmed down, and his tone became gentle and humble: "However, I also have a small discovery. Mother Jenny, please accompany me to do something later."

Huo Ying randomly entered a house and after making sure that no one was following him, he used earth escape technique to open up a simple basement. He then used wood escape technique and lightning escape technique to make charcoal in the basement.

Huo Ying was not sure whether the infected people had any strange surveillance capabilities, so he specially added a layer of insurance for himself. Even if someone suspected the source of his charcoal, after discovering the basement, they would think that the charcoal was hidden there in advance by him and would not suspect that the charcoal was created by Huo Ying in an instant.

"Brother, you really lent it to me!" Zhang Famao had been holding his breath and remained silent. When he saw Huo Ying coming back, he finally let out a sigh of relief and went to greet him excitedly.

Zhang Zhanhong was stunned for a moment, and as he followed his father to meet Huo Ying, he asked in a low voice: "Dad, why are you stealing my lines? Now you call him Big Brother, what should I call him?"

Zhang Famao didn't care about that. He hurriedly took the charcoal from Huo Ying's arms and threw it on the courier's scale: "Okay, you can raise the price. Give me the gun."

"Well, what are you talking about? How could I be raising the price?" The courier was indignant. He weighed the charcoal several times and found that there was still a lot of charcoal left.

"Brother, there are too many. Do you want to exchange anything else?" The courier thought for a moment and lowered his voice to Huo Ying: "I have a high-end product here, a solar-powered radio pager. After you buy this, if you want anything else, you can contact me in advance and I will give you a quote. If you are sure to buy it, I will bring it to you directly, so that you don't have to wait for me to pass the message back and forth between the city and the town if you want to exchange something."

Huo Ying thought about it and asked, "This is indeed useful, but if you want to ask for too much, I'd better wait."

The courier hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, let's just consider it as making friends with you. My last name is Hei, and everyone calls me Black Panther. This pager can only be used to contact me through a single line, so I'll give it to you for free."

After saying that, Black Panther returned to the bus, fumbled around for a while, and came out with a machine the size of a brick.

"Brother, what's your name? I'll save it in the channel, otherwise I might not be able to react to who you are when I see the message."

"Otsutsuki." Huo Ying didn't dare to reply with his real name. The power of this world was very strange, so Huo Ying remained cautious as usual. After getting the pager, Huo Ying flipped through it. It was different from what he had imagined. The pager was very delicate and even had a small keyboard. Rather than a pager, it was more like a machine specifically used to send short messages.

Black Panther reached into his backpack and took out an identical machine. Then he opened the interface and typed something. Huo Ying saw that Black Panther changed a band interface with the name of his comrade-in-arms into Otsutsuki's name.

Noticing that Huo Ying's eyes were not right, Black Panther immediately laughed awkwardly: "Brother, feel free to use it. Nothing will happen. This is a gift from my comrade-in-arms before he died. It's not something I got from a loot box." "..." Huo Ying no longer paid attention to Black Panther, but asked Zhang Famo: "How are we going to trade this time?"

Zhang Famao held the special gun, pulled Zhang Zhanhong over, and lowered his voice: "Brother, I am temporarily living in an abandoned mine on a low mountain. There is a row of containers there, and few people approach. There are also many machines on the construction site. I can repair them and smelt weapons."

"When the time comes, just take the bullets and go directly to where I live. If you need me for anything in the future, you can find me there." Zhang Famao was very honest and actually told Huo Ying the address where his father and son lived.

Without saying anything more, Zhang Famao's actions proved that he was 100% sincere in wanting to make friends with Huo Ying.

"Brother, we're leaving first." Zhang Zhanhong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his father change his words to call Huo Ying "big brother". He had just been thinking about it, and if his father didn't change his words, he was ready to call Huo Ying "godfather".

After watching Zhang and his son disappear in the rain, Huo Ying turned around and met Luna's gaze. Ignoring Luna, Huo Ying also went into the rain and returned to the house.

"He didn't even look for me." Luna looked surprised.

Luna believed that her judgment was absolutely correct. Huo Ying must have the land or the ability to make plants mature quickly. The seeds she gave Huo Ying had specially modified genes, and only the original seeds could be planted. Once the seeds were harvested and the fruits were used to keep the seeds for a second time, the seeds would become dead and would never germinate again.

If Huo Ying had tasted the seasoning vegetables, he would not be able to resist and would want to eat them again, and would definitely come to herself to exchange new seeds. In that case, Luna could cooperate with Huo Ying by satisfying his appetite.

But today, Luna hinted for a long time, but Huo Ying ignored her.

"Mom, is it possible that Huo Ying's ability can change genes?" Luna was not discouraged, but became even more excited.

Elsa watched Huo Ying's back disappear in the rain. Somehow, she shuddered all over. "Luna, let's forget it. Let's not provoke him. Many people have disappeared from the town during this period, but he even changed his weapons."

Elsa didn't think highly of Huo Ying before.

When they first met on the playground, Huo Ying was still asking Wang Kai and his son about how to make a crossbow, and because of the poplar wood, he was targeted by a couple who didn't look like good people.

Today, Wang Kai and his son died, the couple died, the old faces of the town, Hu Caigen and Wang Haisheng, disappeared, and even the newcomers He Lili and her family disappeared.

But Huo Ying replaced the crossbow with a sword and a hammer, making him look more and more powerful and terrifying.

"Mom, I know my limits. He will definitely cooperate with me." Luna didn't listen to Elsa's words at all. She stared at Huo Ying's back until Huo Ying completely disappeared. Then she walked up to the courier Black Panther and asked, "Did you get the things I wanted to exchange last time?"

When Black Panther saw Luna, he immediately showed an embarrassment on his face: "Your request is too high. Now is the end of the world. Wheat is not a high yield. XN City doesn't grow it at all. I spent a lot of effort to find a seller for you, but you have to pay more."

Black Panther took out a transparent bag from the bus, and the bag was full of white flour.

Luna's eyes fell on the bag, but she was not looking at the quality of the flour, but the handwriting on the bag.

XN City specializes in wheat flour.

"Okay, I'll exchange it with spices." Luna's voice was very low. Elsa stood beside Luna and took out a small package from her arms. When the package was opened, a very pungent smell came to her face, very strong but extremely fragrant.

It is wrapped with the crumbs of many kinds of seasonings, and you can vaguely see the residues of star anise and other spices, but most of it is yellow powder.

"Of course!" Black Panther said excitedly, "The spices you grow are very popular in XN City. Even if you sprinkle a little on a stone, it will make people so greedy that they want to chew the stone into pieces."

"Have you ever tried it?" Luna raised her eyebrows.

"How can I afford to buy this kind of stuff? As couriers, we buy weapons and save money to buy suppressants. After all, the desire for food is not as important as life." Black Panther handed over the flour and then took the spices from Elsa.

Luna smiled and took out a small paper bag from her bosom. The paper bag was only the size of a matchbox. "This is a sample pack of spices. I'm giving it to you. You can try it and help me promote it."

"Well, I'm so sorry. It's my job to help you make a deal." Black Panther said nicely and immediately snatched the bag of ingredients and stuffed it into his arms.

Luna placed one hand on her chest, bowed slightly, and then pulled her mother Elsa off the road.

Seeing the two people walking away, Black Panther took out the bag of spices and put it under his nose to smell it, then he let out a long sigh: "It smells so damn good, so tempting, hey, sell it, sell it, and save some more money."

Black Panther shook his head. He really wanted to keep it for himself, but he couldn't. His infectious disease was about to break out, and he had to save money to buy inhibitors.

Resisting his greed, Black Panther put the tempting spices into the items he brought back to XN City.
