Chapter 5 5. Materials for building a house
The 600 acres of land of Qiangwei Mansion and the nearby hills connected to the Sanqing Mountains have long been cleared away by the alien plant defense army, leaving only small saplings that have not mutated.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a bare braised egg with a few hair stubbles standing on top.
On the flat land farther away, the grass buds are sparse and not as tall as the stubborn weeds growing in the ruins of the city.
Walking back and forth on his own vast territory, Huaiyu found that the water in the pond was clear and bright, and he could see the bottom at a glance. There are only a few insignificant aquatic plants and small fish inside...
I don’t know how the army managed to keep this mountain and water so safe.
She looked at the rolling and towering Sanqing Mountain not far away.
That's where I woke up. Weird and precipitous rocks stand there, surrounded by various mutant plants from all directions, stacking up another spectacle that is different from the strange rocks.
He raised his head and glanced at the mutation value sensor beside him again. Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh in frustration and muttered slowly:
"The Alien Plant Defense Force has something. ”
...
But before sighing, she had to think about what to do with a house that could protect her from wind and rain.
But there was no material around. Even if she removed the bricks and stones from the foundation, she didn't have the ability to add mud to the beams.
After much deliberation, I still have to rely on the mountain to survive.
She walked forward along the Rose Corridor, passing a flat building far in the middle. There was a sentry at the door, as if it was the station of the alien plant defense army.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the [8] area with a sign.
Those defending troops said that there was a strange movement here yesterday, and it was probably when they were traveling through it.
At this moment, looking around, there were some familiar signs. Huaiyu finally bent his eyes, then stretched out his fingers to gently stroke the leaves, with a soft voice:
"Be careful, help. I opened the door so I couldn't be discovered."
After thinking about it, she politely added: "Thank you."
The branches in front of me began to tremble, and soon they opened up a passage that could only be passed by one person just like they did yesterday morning.
When Huaiyu passed through, the branches were wrapped around and covered again, leaving no trace.
Leaving the city limits, the mountains in front of her seemed to be her home field. The vague road in the forest has long been covered with various plants. Huaiyu shuttles among the branches, shrubs and weeds, but his expression is as comfortable as if he has returned to his own home.
But...she doesn't have a home now and has to find materials to build one.
So not long after walking, she fell in love with the twisted vines in the woods.
In early spring, the temperature on the mountain is low, and only small bulges with buds can be vaguely seen on the trees and vines in front of you. But if you ask what kind of plants they are, you probably can't tell by looking at them this way.
But Huaiyu only hesitated for a moment and chose it immediately:
"Purple flowers! Wisteria! I like it! Come and build me a house!"
Although the tree vine in front of me is called "vine", the main stem rooted in the soil is four to five centimeters in diameter. The soil and rocks on the mountain were solid, and its roots were deep. Huaiyu held the trunk of the tree with both hands and pulled it out hard.
However, it has been a long time and it has not moved at all.
Instead, her palms were a little red.
“…”
But she didn’t feel frustrated. She simply moved forward along the branches, touched the thin vines at the front that had not yet grown thick, and then stretched out her hand directly. Break.
“Crack!”
The thin rattan was broken off without much effort, and in a short time a bunch of them had been gathered. Huaiyu didn't stop until the whole tree was stripped bare and only the main stem was left, and a small bundle was piled on the ground.
She hummed a random tune, and after looking around, she became confused again -
"The beams are there, where are the tiles?"
After thinking about it, she headed towards the mountain. Drilled in deep.
……
The environment covered by dense forests is humid, cool, humming, and filled with the chirping of insects and birds. Everything seems to be no different from before the disaster.
But only Huaiyu knows the difference.
Because she was walking through the mountains, she could sense the sprouting vitality of all the plants.
Spring is such a good season!
After walking for a long time, Huaiyu finally found a tall tree among the many trees and vines of various colors that had just sprouted a slight fluffy green color.
It is different from other similar ones. It seems to be a little mutated and should be easier to talk to.
Although the other party's leaves are now no bigger than a finger, she has been looking for it for so long and it is the only large leaf with leaves that can grow to 30 centimeters wide!
Unfortunately, the sycamore trees were very tall. She looked up for a long time and saw that the other party was unmoved. In the end, she could only grunt and hug the tree trunk:
"Please Please!”
The branches at the top moved twice, and it took a long time for a branch to reach out.
Huaiyu struggled for a long time before catching the branch, then closed his eyes and tried hard——
“Well——!!!”
His face was red, and his body was filled with blood. The powers that had just been restored slowly surged, making her panting from exhaustion.
But fortunately, the buds sprouted quickly on the branch in front of me, including the entire tung tree, which had already spread out many large leaves in layers!
It’s green and very beautiful!
She pulled the leaves off the leaves one by one, and the "click-click-click" sound was particularly addictive. She finished breaking off all the leaves and piled them into a small mountain in front of her, and then let go.
The next moment, the branches that were trying to move downward quickly retracted, as if they were unbearable.
Huaiyu didn't mind, he just stared at the hill of leaves for a while, and then found some small and flexible vines in the forest, slowly intertwining one by one.
She was a little unfamiliar with this job, but fortunately she could tinker with it, so when the sun was shining, she got a large vine net with jagged holes.
Fortunately, the leaves of the tung tree are not picked at all. Once they are all put in, the four corners can be folded and you can drag them away.
The trees on the mountain were still well-behaved, and Susu gave way to their place. After Huaiyu put the wisteria vines into the net bag, he even found a tall pine tree.
"It's Huashan pine..."
Huaiyu is a little happy. Huashan pine is the same as red pine, and the pine nuts are edible!
So she patted the tree trunk: "Are there any pine cones?"
She was still breathing a little while speaking.
She communicated too much today, and it was actually a bit laborious - strange, since she should be really good at it.
But it doesn’t matter, maybe I just woke up and it will be fine after a while.
As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I heard a few "pops" and a large pine cone fell from the branches. It was obviously a fish that had escaped the net even the squirrels.
“One, two, three, four…twelve in total!”
They are all quite big!
Huaiyu happily put the pine cone into the leaves. In order to prevent it from falling from the gaps, he also piled the leaves in the middle.
She looked around, and finally pulled a handful of flexible vines——
Okay!
All the materials for building a house are available!
Good luck with the new book! Today’s 10,000-word update is over! There won’t be so much more next, because there are no archives of manuscripts.
