Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 117: Inducing Birth, Being Ruthless

Because of the appearance of mutant mice, Bai Li was very busy all day.

The walls surrounding the white fruit garden are no longer monotonous with just one green ivy vine. Instead, starting from the walls on both sides of the gate, from top to bottom, from left to right, the entire wall is covered with dense branches and broad green leaves. At first glance, those who are not familiar with it would think that there is no wall here, but just a dense plant that looks like green ivy.

The white fruit orchard is not small, and it took Bai Li a lot of effort to cover all four sides with green ivy. When his special energy was exhausted, he was tired and ate something. Then he slept for another hour. After waking up, he continued to produce the rest of the fruits.

After hanging everything up, I didn’t even feel like eating. I just closed my eyes and fell asleep again.

The whole family was very worried when they saw this, but fortunately Jiang Minglang did not find any other problems after checking her. She was dazed and still remembered to comfort everyone, "I'm fine, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Rats have a very strong reproductive capacity. Even though we only found two or three today, who can guarantee that there won’t be more tomorrow?
They had no better solution. In order to prevent any problems before they occur, Bai Li thought that using a green ivy wall would be a better idea.

Although I'm not sure how powerful it is, I still have to give it a try.

With so many green ivy growing on the wall, she can sleep more peacefully at night.

In the evening, Mu Song and Ning An came to find Jiang Minglang.

They had heard about the mutant rats, so before coming here they checked their place inside and out, and were relieved when they didn't find any rats.

This is one aspect. On the other hand, their people also went to Pingjiang Bridge in the afternoon and saw many people crossing the bridge and entering Pengcheng.

It would be fine if you were just passing by, but what if you want to stay here?
The area where they live now is in the suburbs of Pengcheng, which is in the countryside, but not far from the city. Compared with the deeper rural areas, the location here is not bad.

The fields were also tidy. When they arrived, the wheat and rice were ripe. After the harvest, they exchanged seeds with Uncle Bai under the guidance of some elderly people in Yunxi Village, and replanted vegetables and winter wheat.

If everything goes well, they will have no worries about food and drink this year.

But that's also why I'm worried.

After all, there are many people who want to gain something without working. I didn't worry before because there was no power in Pengcheng. Not to mention the few survivors left in the city, the surrounding countryside was either all killed or huddled together for warmth.

He would rather be quiet than concentrate on farming. When he has nothing to do, he would go around the city and surrounding areas. He knows where there are people and where there are no people, and where there are many people and few people.

To be honest, there aren't many survivors in Pengcheng right now. Not to mention the faraway places, there aren't many people alive around Yunxi Village.

If outsiders are well-behaved, they can find an uninhabited village and settle down there.

But the question is, will they be content?

"Brother Jiang, what do you think?"

Mu Song is the boss of Ning An’s group. He was bitten by a mutant bat before, but he didn’t turn into a zombie. Instead, he gained a superpower: fire!
A very powerful and enviable ability.

Jiang Minglang had gone to the city with him to clean up zombies. Whenever he threw fire, it would be a big fireball, which was completely different from the red light that Xiaowu spit out at the beginning.

But it didn't burn as fast as Xiaowu's. When Xiaowu burned the zombies, he quickly turned them into a pile of ashes, quickly and cleanly.

But it takes a while for Mu Song's fire to burn a corpse. Although it can burn everything to ashes in the end, its power is far inferior to Xiao Wu's.

Jiang Minglang didn’t know what was going on. You couldn’t say that people were worse than dogs, right?
But no matter what, after getting along for a while, he still has high hopes for this neighbor.

"Brother Jiang, why did Sister Bai plant green ivy all over your walls?"

Before Jiang Minglang could answer Mu Song's question, Ning Anxian couldn't help but point at the four walls and asked curiously, "What is the use?"

He is also a wood element, so he knows how much effort it takes to create such a large area, which is why he was surprised.

It's impossible that it was created just for the sake of looking good.

He felt that Sister Bai was not such a boring person. After all, in terms of beauty, green ivy could never compare to his peony. Sister Bai didn't even want it when he gave it to her.

Jiang Minglang turned his head and looked at the green around him. After a moment's hesitation, he told Ning An the truth, "Protection."

"What?"

Ning An stared at Jiang Minglang with wide eyes, feeling that he must have heard wrong. Also of the wood element, Sister Bai could not only promote the growth of green ivy, but also a variety of other plants.

The most important thing is that the green ivy can be used as a weapon in her hands.

The gap between the two of them was already huge, so what did Brother Jiang tell him now?
Protection?

Is this the protection he understands?

After inducing labor, even if she is not around, can she resist external invasion on her own?
No, isn’t the gap between people so big?

Jiang Minglang knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression. He raised his eyebrows and asked a soul-piercing question, "Ning An, can your peony really only be used for viewing?"

Ning An's face changed and he glared at Jiang Minglang, "Brother Jiang, you are going too far!"

How can you use this question to hurt his feelings?

When he just wanted to make the peony grow? When he thought the peony was useless and could only be looked at?

Besides, what's wrong with watching? Isn't it good to be pleasing to the eye?
Ning An was filled with rage. After returning from the ginkgo orchard, he angrily planted a row of peonies outside the wall of their village, close to the base of the wall. They were red, white, pink, and colorful, and extremely beautiful.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is a rare and nice scenery in this depressed end times.

What Ning An didn't know was that that night, a mosquito buzzed as it flew over the most beautiful white peony, and in just a moment, the buzzing disappeared, and the mosquito was gone.

Bai Li slept until ten o'clock the next morning. When she opened her eyes, all the tiredness in her body disappeared and she got up and went downstairs in full energy.

"Fengbao. Where are you going? Come back."

A strange shout was heard from the yard, and Bai Li walked out and looked up at the sky.

Feng Bao cried "Ah! Ah!" twice, spread his wings and flew high into the sky, and soon disappeared.

Qiqi stamped her feet anxiously, "Stinky Fengbao, you ran out yesterday and made yourself wild, and you even ran around."

This had never happened before. Since returning to his hometown, Fengbao has been staying with the old man. He feeds it melon seeds, fruits and bird food in turn. Its tender yellow body has become round and plump, almost like a free-range chicken.

Bai Li was worried that it was so fat that it might not be able to fly high.

Can’t fly high?

She looked at the black spot in the sky that was about to disappear and smiled.

Although I don't really understand how my bird has such great abilities, it's obvious that there's no need to worry about it.

"Mom, you're awake. Grandma left some food for you in the pot. Go and eat it."

The old man and the old lady have not been idle recently. The mung beans and yellow beans in the fields are ripe, and the two old people are helping to harvest them.

"Mom, let me tell you, it was almost dark when Fengbao came back last night. Now you go out again. It's so chaotic outside. What if you encounter a mutant bat?" That thing is not a bird and you don't listen to it.

The little guy kept mumbling and was very dissatisfied with the bird that ran out without following him.

Bai Li took out the warm sweet potato porridge from the pot and took out two scallion pancakes with grandma's pickled peppers. She ate them while listening patiently to her son's nagging.

"Where's your dad?"

After her son finally got tired of talking and stopped to take a breath, she asked hurriedly.

"I'm in the fields with Grandpa and the others, but Dad asked Uncle Dazi to go to Pingjiang Bridge. I heard him say that he saw two people he knew on the bridge yesterday, and he was worried that Uncle Xu and the others would come over, so he asked Uncle Dazi to wait there."

Know him?
Bai Li asked, "Did your father say who it was?"

"No, it seems like we just know each other, but we're not very familiar with each other."

Bai Li didn't ask any more questions. After breakfast, she asked Qiqi to go with her to the gate of Yunxi Village's fields.

The two generals Heng and Ha were sent here to guard the gate today. At this moment, they were squatting on both sides of the gate, one on the left and one on the right, their bodies motionless, their eyes looking ahead indifferently.

After hearing Qiqi's footsteps, the two big black dogs stood up and ran to him, with their big tails sweeping back and forth happily.

When the two dogs' necks were erected, they were taller than Qiqi, but the look in their eyes when they looked at Qiqi was full of jealousy?
"Little Heng and Little Ha, be good. The boss is here to see you."

Qiqi raised his hand and touched the heads of the two big dogs one by one, praising them generously, "Whose dog is so powerful that it can even guard the door? Oh, it turns out to be my two generals."

Regardless of whether the two dogs understood what he said or not, they opened their mouths wide and laughed and rubbed their smiling faces against him, obviously showing that they liked what he said very much.

Bai Li threw a piece of green radish onto the wall on the right and then began to stimulate its growth.

This wall faces the highway leading to the city. Although it is a bit far from the white fruit orchard, she may not be able to feel it when something happens, but with her green ivy on the wall, she can always feel at ease.

In addition, she planned to grow some weeds on the ground in front of the wall in addition to growing green ivy on the wall. This way, when looking from the other side of the road, people would think there was no wall here, but only wild green plants.

Of course, the big iron gate will also be covered with green ivy, completely concealing their side.

In fact, it can only deceive ordinary people, but if it meets someone with sharp eyes, they can see the flaw at a glance.

But that's enough.

They didn't want to deal with too many people, and while sharp-eyed psychics would certainly be good, there wouldn't be too many of them.

This way it won't be too troublesome for them to deal with it.

"Uncle Du,"

Lin Zhe got up early in the morning and exercised with Du Qiuyan and Qiao Fei. After having breakfast, he saw Uncle Qiao being called away by the person who picked them up yesterday.

Originally, he had called Du Qiyan, but he was worried about leaving Lin Zhe alone. Although Qiao Fei's sister and her family were also in the yard, he was even more worried because of their presence.

So he let Qiao Fei go alone, and he stayed to accompany Lin Zhe.

"Gigi, let's go out and take a look around."

As soon as Qiao Fei left, his nephew openly snorted at Lin Zhe and glared at him viciously with his arms crossed.

Du Qiyan glanced at the naughty kid and felt annoyed. But because the other party was Qiao Fei's sister's son, he couldn't say anything.

Actually, after arriving here yesterday, he wanted to take Lin Zhe and Qiao Fei to live in a separate yard, and let his sister's family live in another yard. If they don't live together, they won't be bothered by them, and naturally there will be no conflicts.

But Qiao Fei's brother-in-law and the old lady disagreed. They were afraid of another attack by bats or strange animals, or a group of zombies suddenly running over.

So we insisted that everyone live together so that we can take care of each other if any emergency happens.

Looking out for each other?

Du Qi Yan just wanted to sneer and let them take care of their family.

After all, this is how we have come all the way here.

If Qiao Fei's sister wasn't okay, he really didn't want to get involved with their family.

Du Qiyan glanced at the naughty kid, touched Lin Zhe's head, and led him out the door.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

When An Zirui saw that Lin Zhe ignored him and his uncle's comrades-in-arms looked down on him, he became annoyed.

Next to him was a small circular flower bed covered with a circle of decorative pebbles.

An Zirui picked up a palm-sized gray-white pebble and threw it hard at Lin Zhe's back.

With a whoosh, the pebble did not hit Lin Zhe as he expected, but was caught by a hand an inch behind his head.

Du Qiuyan turned around. Although he was wearing glasses, the cold light in his eyes still shot towards An Zirui like a sharp blade.

No matter what, the naughty kid is still a child after all. Under Du Qi'yan's stern gaze, he felt that all the blood in his body was frozen. He was so scared that his face turned pale and he couldn't help shivering.

"Zi Rui, what's wrong?"

At this time, Grandma An came out of the main hall and saw Du Qiyan staring at her grandson with unfriendly eyes. She was immediately unhappy and quickly stepped forward to hold her grandson in her arms. She noticed that her grandson was trembling, and her face changed immediately. She said angrily, "Xiao Du, what are you doing? How can you, an adult, look at a child with such eyes? Look how scared he is! Oh, Zirui, be good, grandma is here, we are not afraid, don't be afraid."

Hearing the noise in the yard, Qiao Wei and her husband, who were cleaning in the kitchen, hurried out.

Du Qiyan ignored the old lady. When he saw Qiao Wei coming out, he spread out his palm, revealing the pebble inside, and said coldly, "If I hadn't caught it in time, this stone would have hit Jiji on the head."

In today's world of shortage of medical care and medicine, being injured is almost the same as dying.

They came all the way here from the city where they used to live, so they understood this principle.

But what is An Zirui doing now?
Qiao Wei's face turned ugly. She didn't care that her hands were still wet. She took two steps forward, pulled her son out of his grandmother's arms, and slapped him in the face.

The crisp sound startled the three members of the An family, especially the old lady. After she realized what was happening, she screamed and was so angry that she tried to push Qiao Wei, but she dodged her. She then yelled, "Shut up!"

An Zirui, who was about to open his mouth to howl, was stuck. He stared at his mother blankly, the mist in his eyes gathered together, and then formed tears, streaming down.

"You keep protecting him. Sooner or later you will kill him!" Qiao Wei glared at her mother-in-law fiercely. "From now on, I will take care of my son. You are not allowed to interfere. And you..."

She turned her head and glared at her husband, "If you're like your mother, then get out of here, both of you!"

　good night!
