Chapter 21

When An Yan thought of the flaming mutants that appeared earlier, his eyes moved slightly. He wondered if the country had let them go free or simply organized them into a team. The website is worth your collection. .

These people are endowed with unique abilities, and there is no doubt about their ability to withstand severe cold. Even if they cannot exert some of the power of fire in such cold climate conditions, at least they will not be easily frozen to death.

It's a pity that the state's control is too strict, and there are almost no such mutants living outside.

In the next few days, An Yanyi taught martial arts to others every day. On the first day, there were only six people, and on the second day, it expanded to include everyone on the farm.

It's still dark. Due to unknown reasons, electricity is lost rapidly in the existing storage media. Anjia's old house gives priority to electricity. The diesel generator roars from time to time, and the unused electricity is stored. Once the generator stops, the battery is used. , and so on in turn, none of the candles were used.

Due to natural selection, the living environment has become so harsh. Not only animals and plants are constantly changing themselves to adapt to the current environment, but even humans are no exception, but it is not as obvious as other creatures.

The two dozen people who followed An Yanyi to practice martial arts have significantly improved their ability to withstand the cold. At least they are no longer as intolerable as they were at the beginning when they stayed outside for more than an hour.

When the snow subsided, An Yan immediately started to implement the original plan. He divided everyone into five groups, each group of five to six people, and took turns to go out to clear the snow, first clearing the snow from the roof, and then cleaning the roads and farms.

Everyone agreed that clearing the snow from the roads and roofs was better than everyone expected. No one raised objections, especially those farm workers, but Zhou Junting stepped in to suppress them.

The resources are all in the hands of An Yanyi and Zhou Junting. It is really unreasonable for them to eat and use these two people and not even be willing to do some work.

Everyone had no choice but to suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts. They could do whatever An Yan asked them to do without risking their lives. At most, they would have to shovel snow in the cold wind. This was not difficult. They objected because they felt it was not necessary. What's the use of clearing the farm in such cold weather? I heard that electricity is not a big deal now, so we can only build greenhouses and burn coal for heating. How much coal will be wasted?

An Yan had more than that on his mind. Not only did he want to build a greenhouse, but he also had to spread seeds all over the farm and circle the land first. As for whether crops could grow, that was beyond his control. What he was betting on was moving. There is a farm in his homeland. If he loses the bet, it will be a waste of seeds and manpower. He can afford the loss. Once the bet wins, the benefits will be great. They will not have to worry about food in the future.

It is precisely because the temptation is so great that An Yanyi gave this order that made people think that his brain was short-circuited.

The farm is on the outskirts of the city. There are many people and snow plowing equipment in An Yi. The two father and son came up with the idea. An Yan would use manual labor to clear the road to the city, while An Yi would send a snow plow truck to clear the snow on the road leading to the farm. Within two days, the two groups of people converged. This was without dispatching Qingxue's main force, otherwise the speed would only be faster.

Once the road is open, it will be much easier to travel between the two sides. There is no snow to hinder it. If you just rely on your legs to walk, if you walk faster, you can reach it in more than half an hour. It takes less time to ride a bicycle, and it takes minutes to drive a car.

"Yan Yi, it's too slow to clear the snow by hand. I'll go to the city to help. You ask dad to keep the snowplow truck." Zhou Junting suggested. His intention was obvious. The two parties exchanged jobs, and Zhou Junting contributed his efforts in exchange for the right to use a snow plow.

"Then be careful and don't freeze." An Yan thought for a moment and then agreed. Zhou Junting's abilities are there, and there is no need to waste them. He has never thought about keeping people close to him.

Zhou Junting nodded in agreement, packed his luggage and drove into the city. It's hard to get oil now. Although it's easy to go back and forth, he may have to live in the county government compound for a while.

"It's not convenient for me to go home. Remember to go to the city to see me." Zhou Junting reminded before going out. He was not embarrassed at all, and it was taken for granted.

"Okay, I'll come find you when I have time." Naturally, An Yanyi would not refuse. This was taken into consideration when we first prepared the supplies. We have human-powered bicycles and tricycles, but not many. With the addition of a few for the dormitory staff, it is almost enough.

"Special Assistant Chen will leave it to you. Leave the trivial matters to him. He can help you take care of it." After saying that, Zhou Junting did not stop anymore and pulled up the scarf to cover his mouth and nose, leaving only his eyes exposed. , went out and got in the car, taking Chen Hua and Liu Dingshan away.

Except for the restriction of everyone's activities on the farm, everything else is fine and the living standard is not much worse than before. Other places are not so harmonious. The evil side of human nature keeps breaking out, eroding everyone's nerves.

Anping City.

With more people and greater strength, coupled with the presence of snowplows, on the third day of the severe cold, the main street was basically cleared to the point where people could move around easily. This not only brought convenience to people's lives, but also facilitated the growth of darkness. .

There are patrol cars on the streets, but they cannot stop the darkness from waving at people when they are threatened by cold and hunger.

It was okay in the first few days. The government heated and supplied electricity, and everyone hid in their houses. No one wanted to go out. When the government could no longer bear the huge coal consumption, it began to limit power, and even the heating could not keep up. Even with the heating on, the room temperature was less than ten degrees Celsius, and the food supply began to decrease. Although everyone would not go hungry, they would not be full.

Some people started to think of others.

Swearing and crying could be heard from time to time in slightly more remote communities. It was obvious that the house had been visited by thieves and the damage was considerable.

There is nothing the police can do about this. Currently, there is a shortage of police personnel and poor communication. By the time the victim reports the incident, the day lily will be long gone before the police are dispatched. All they can do is record the incident and see if the perpetrator can be found.

There have been more theft incidents, and citizens have become more vigilant, making it less easy for thieves to succeed again. If you are used to the enjoyment you get for free, how easy is it to change your ways? The incident escalated. Stealing was no longer an option, so robbery was the only option.

Some succeeded and then committed the crime again and again. Some failed and were attacked by the victim's family and neighbors. Different mentality leads to completely different situations. Who is to blame? Should we blame the cold and selfish nature, or should we blame this thief God who doesn't give people a way to survive?

The police have tried their best, but it is difficult to catch thieves. Many robbers have been corrected, but it is not the end of the world after they are caught. No one gets the stolen goods, so how can they be convicted? You can't just follow what others say and make conclusions based on the testimony of citizens. How many unjust cases will happen?

This is really not something they are overthinking. This kind of random accusation happened occasionally in the past, but now the chance of it happening will only be higher, so they have to think more about it.

Anyuan.

The management here is strict and the security is good. There is no need to worry about theft and robbery for the time being, but An Jianmin has kept a straight face for several days.

Just because we don't have to face these, doesn't mean that we don't have other worries. Needless to say, relatives, how can they leave empty-handed when they come to visit? What about old comrades? If you give me this, can I not give you that? Wouldn't this leave room for complaint?

Seeing that the piles of coal were gradually decreasing, but the weather showed no sign of getting warmer, An Jianmin felt bad and could not continue like this, otherwise An Yuan might not even have enough for himself.

The snow has been falling and stopping. The city and the surrounding areas are fine. The roads are easy to clear. However, the coal mine area cannot be opened in a short time. Coal cannot be transported in, and the reserves are being used up. This is the biggest reason for the weakening of heating in Anping City. It is not that all the coal is burned in just ten days and a half, but that the water is flowing slowly and the heating time is extended as much as possible.

Later, when guests came to the house again, An Jianmin began to complain, asking for coal and even missing grains. The original coal mountain was all broken up and stored in the basement. Most of the rice, flour, grain and oil in the kitchen were put away, leaving only enough food for people like An Yuan.

Of course, there is a process, and it is all used up at once. Isn't this suspicious? An Jianmin is not so confused when doing things.

"I want to eat meat." An Xing threw away his chopsticks and started making a fuss.

At lunch that day, An Yuan was no longer as peaceful as before. After the road was opened, several families came to An Yuan one after another. They could no longer stand the days of light tea and light meals every day. Seven-year-old An Xing was the first to express his dissatisfaction.

"Want to eat meat? Okay, I'll go find your parents. I still want to eat it!" An Jianmin said angrily.

"Dad, are you really out of meat?" An Li carefully asked to confirm.

"There's still a little bit left."

"Then..."

"Then, that, that, everything is left by Yan Yili and his wife, and you still want to scrape off the last bit?" An Jianmin glared at his second son, "My that I've already given you a portion, isn't that enough?"

"There's a lot more." Wang Xiao, who had been silent, suddenly said this, and everyone's thoughts that were about to stop were revived.

"If you want to stay here, just be more at ease with me. If you are not satisfied, get out." An Jianmin had a long face and could no longer maintain his superficial calmness. Sooner or later, he would have to go through this. The second son and the third son are now grandfathers. Are they embarrassed to still eat and drink from him? You dare to negotiate conditions with him just now, you are really capable.

What happened to cabbage and radish? At least I gave them enough to eat every day so they wouldn't go hungry. They couldn't even get enough to eat outside. Even though they were all vegetarian, these were fresh vegetables. Even though they were stored in a cellar, it was hard to find them even under a lantern.

Don't think that he doesn't know his children's calculations. The rice, flour, grains and oils they got from Anyuan were probably less than half of their inventory, and they only took more than half of the government's daily limited supply. They were preparing to eat from the rich, and he wasn't used to it. them.

"Dad, it's okay for us to eat almost everything, but the little ones like Xingxing are growing up, so how can they be nutritious when eating like this?" The third son, An Xin, said after considering it.

"As a father, you don't want to find a way to solve the problem, so you have to rely on me, an old guy?" An Jianmin's face was as dark as water.

"Dad, isn't there something we can do? Otherwise, reduce the supply in the east wing and use more grains and vegetables to exchange for meat and eggs to replenish the body of the child." An Yi's wife Li Zhen suggested, not to mention the child, she is also affected by it. It can't be like this every day.

An Jianmin suddenly put down his chopsticks, his eyes were cold. No matter how angry he was before, he was only angry that they didn't find a way to save themselves and always wanted to take advantage of An Yuan. Now he had to re-examine.

The reason An Yuan can remain so peaceful is because of the people Zhou Junting left behind, those who live in the east wing. Apart from some professionals, the majority are security guards, not the kind who just make up the numbers.

Now there is no disorder in An Yuan, but as long as the cold and darkness don't go away for a day, chaos will break out sooner or later. When that happens, who can rely on to guard An Yuan? Can we count on these pampered children and grandchildren? Save it, in the end you have to rely on his guards and the security guards left by Zhou Junting.

Wouldn't it be digging one's own grave to cut off the supply to the east wing at this time?

"Second brother, go back and teach Li Zhen what's wrong with what she said. If you don't understand, I don't mind beating you awake." An Jianmin moved his wrists. Years of military service have tempered his body bones. He is extremely tough, and even as he gets older, he still has the strength to hit someone.

"Dad, Li Zhen is not sensible. She is in a hurry. She didn't think too much. I will explain it clearly to her when I get back." An Li also blushed. His wife did do something wrong in this matter, and he didn't expect her. To say such a thoughtless thing.

An Jianmin will not be in trouble with his body. No matter how angry he is, he will eat and drink when he should, but his eating speed will be significantly faster. After finishing, he will put down his chopsticks and go back to the room, regardless of everyone's thoughts.

Xicheng County Government.

After An Yi learned of Zhou Junting's intention, he installed a desk and chair for him in the county magistrate's office.

Zhou Junting is not a government official, so it would be unfair for him to come forward. He only makes suggestions for An Yi from behind and checks for omissions and fills them.

The day after An Yan proposed the solution, An Yi saw that something was wrong, so he made up his mind to do it. Now he is worried about the matter, and the corners of his mouth are blistered in the cold weather.

When the country decided to migrate, there were also many obstacles, but due to the majesty of the country, no big trouble occurred.

In fact, to put it bluntly, everyone has selfish motives and cannot be unified at all. As long as no one comes forward to incite, it will be difficult for the people to cause trouble.

But it's different here in Xicheng. An Yi is just a county magistrate. His words don't carry enough weight and can't be compared with the country. The citizens may not be willing to listen. When he decided to centralize heating, the people quit.

Resistance comes not only from the communities selected for central heating, but also from those who are unwilling to relocate.

Anyi's approach is simply unflattering.

When Zhou Junting arrived at the county government, the Anyi work was in trouble, and the completion rate was not even one-tenth. This was achieved only by dispatching all government staff to present facts and reason, to speak with sincerity, and to say everything they could. .

In the past two days, An Yi has noticed that the rear is almost unstable. Internal staff have different opinions and have begun to have disagreements. If this matter cannot be resolved, a lot of his power will be taken away.

"Dad, we should continue to suffer from the chaos. There is nothing wrong with your approach, but it is not suitable for the current times. In troubled times, heavy codes are used, and it is similar now. I am afraid that gentle methods will not have much effect." Zhou Junting has never dealt with government affairs. On this point, he Not as good as An Yi, but he has experience in managing a group company, and he is no less good at controlling people's hearts. And there is one thing that An Yi can't even catch up with, that is, Zhou Junting is more ruthless than him, and he is more willing to be open to others. I am burdened by my identity, but I can see it more clearly.

"You mean..."

"Dad, have you communicated with the armed police brigade?"

"Well, without them, if I dare to do this, won't the citizens smash the county government?" "

That's good, from now on Now the heating in each community has been reduced. Just make sure they don't get sick from the cold. If we stop supplying food, within two days, without the government's intervention, they will take the initiative to come to the door, relocate them, and accept them."

An Yi rubbed his face . , either he didn't expect this method, or he just couldn't take this step. The consequences of doing so would be very serious. If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent person. There is no third way to go.

After pondering for a long time, An Yi made up his mind to do it. At worst, he would go home and enjoy his happiness.

As expected, things were okay with reduced heating, and they couldn't be frozen anyway. At most, they would feel a little uncomfortable, and the lack of food supply really choked the lives of the citizens.

Each household has different amounts of grain and different ideas. There are some citizens who go to the government to make trouble, but the number of people who negotiate in secret is no less than the number of troublemakers.

Seeing families who followed government policies receive relief food again, the remaining citizens couldn't sit still and began to take action regardless of whether they had food or not. A few die-hard elements wanted to cause trouble, but they were jointly suppressed by the armed police brigade and the police. Within a few days, all the citizens of Xicheng were concentrated in several communities.

Heating has been enhanced, but it is not as good as before. The room temperature can be kept at around ten degrees Celsius at most. Even if the heating pressure is greatly reduced, coal must be used sparingly.

"Capt. The situation was more serious than he thought.

"There are many people who think the same as us. In the area around Anping City, as long as the roads are opened, they all rush to ask for supplies. We can get these because of your family's face." Captain Xing lamented. Xicheng handled it well, and there was an armed police brigade on duty. There was no disorder. In some places, chaos had already occurred outside. There were endless incidents of robbery and vandalism. Even Anping City was not immune.

"Is everything okay in An Yuan?" Although he got a rough idea from Captain Xing's expression, An Yi couldn't help but worry about asking.

"Well, it's pretty good, it's very lively." Captain Xing smiled, lowering his eyes slightly, hiding the profound meaning in his eyes.

"Captain Xing, take the little brothers down to have some hot food and rest. Leave these to me." After having a rough understanding of the situation at home, An Yi cheered up and started arranging the storage of supplies.

Armed Police Brigade Station.

"Captain, do we really want to listen to County Magistrate An's orders?" Deputy Captain Lou asked in a low voice.

"What are you going to do?"

"I haven't thought about it, it's just..." At this point, Deputy Captain Lou stopped talking and turned to other things, "I heard that some places have lost control." "

Okay, How can I still not understand your little thoughts? Xicheng is less than a hundred kilometers away from Anping City. As long as Anping City is not in chaos, there will be no chaos here. Even if there is chaos, it will only be temporary. Only Anping City is unstable, and the surrounding areas Only then will the region be out of its control. County Magistrate An is obviously not stupid. As long as he can maintain the current situation in Xicheng, I will support him. You, stop associating with random people." "Copy that,

Captain. "After saying this, Lieutenant Lou looked worried. With Xicheng's limited food reserves, how long can he last even if he frugally saves money? What should I do if I run out of food? Judging from the intentions of Anping City, the continued support is not strong. There are too many areas asking for help and they simply cannot take care of them.

"Don't be so sad. The boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. As long as it doesn't lead to genocide, life can go on." Captain Xing patted the deputy captain on the shoulder and went back to his room to rest. It was freezing cold outside. After a trip to Anping City, I was really tired. Not only was my body tired, my heart was tired as well. I had to negotiate with the people who were in charge of supplies. I don't know how many brain cells he lost. Fortunately, I finally asked for help. Always take action, otherwise you may not even be able to get this small amount of supplies.

After Xicheng stabilized, Zhou Junting began to help Anyi formulate temporary management regulations. It was obviously inappropriate to follow the previous policies and a new decree must be issued.

The most important thing now is to find ways to raise food and heating supplies. There is no need to worry about clothes and bedding. What each household has prepared by itself is enough, at least for a short period of time.

There is no way to get coal, so we can only focus on firewood. There are mountains a few miles behind Xicheng. If the snow is cleared from the road, we can go up the mountain to collect firewood.

Food is a troublesome thing. There is no light and artificial lighting is needed. Even a greenhouse is useless. It is too wasteful of energy. You can only grow crops that don't need much light. Mushrooms have come into everyone's sight.

A farm on the outskirts of the city.

There is nothing planted in the field now, and there is no obstacle to the snow plow. It is very convenient to move. Several people take turns driving, and within a few days, all the snow on the farm will be cleared. Then it will be convenient, and various agricultural machinery will take turns. Come, the farm will soon look brand new.

"What a nonsense." The farm worker felt heartbroken as he watched the seeds being planted in his hands. But what can they do? They can only follow along and do it with their eyes closed.

"Can such a person really survive? He is still a small boss..." The middle-aged farmer pointed at his head, his meaning was self-explanatory.

"Who knows this? If not a single seedling grows, then it's better to give us the food. At least we can keep people fed for a while." "Stop

talking and go to work. Be careful that the boss finds out and we all get fired." Now, where can I find such a good job?"

"Yeah, that's right, work quickly. I'll send some to your family in two days, and go to the village to buy some chickens and the like." "

It's better for you, you're close to home. , the boss has entrusted this good job to you, but I can't do it. I'm far away and I don't know when I can go home to see you." "

Haha, maybe it will be your turn next time."

An Yanyi kept paying attention As the farm progressed, as the grain seeds were sown on the first plot of land, he checked the control core from time to time, but found no movement. Not even a shadow of the expected second leaf was seen. This situation continued until the last plot of the farm. The earth was finished, and nothing changed.

☆ 22. Chapter 22

Chapter 22

An Yanyi thought about the crux of this. Is he thinking in the wrong direction? The mobile home does not have the function of a farm at all, or the prerequisites have not been met yet.

An Yanyi looked at the stunted fire crystal fruit on the World Tree through the control core, thoughtfully.

There are three energy crystal fruits hanging on the World Tree. Needless to say, one of them is a fire crystal fruit that has passed the growth period and has not yet matured. Originally, as long as enough energy was supplied, it could be harvested in a month. Now An Yan has energy on hand. There is no shortage of it, but the Fire Crystal Fruit cannot absorb a large amount of energy required for its growth. It seems that it will take a while before it can be harvested.

The other one is dark green, so dark that at first glance you might mistake it for black. It looks a little uncomfortable, and it feels completely different from the Fire Crystal Fruit.

The last one is ice blue, like an ice sculpture, beautiful but without warmth, which makes people feel chilly just looking at it, which is exactly the opposite of the fire crystal fruit.

An Yan had some guesses. He couldn't judge the dark green one, but it must be related to the fact that it was dark and the light was not bright all the time. The ice blue energy crystal fruit probably corresponded to the fire crystal fruit. Maybe it was called ice crystal fruit. No need. Said, inseparable from the ice and snow.

Looking at these three types of energy crystals, An Yanyi roughly summed up a rule. Energy crystals do not appear for no reason. Each energy crystal corresponds to a kind of weather, or to be more detailed, corresponds to a certain element.

Without the protection of a mobile home, no seeds would germinate on the farm in such a cold climate. He had to think of some way to try it, and An Yanyi naturally turned his attention to the fire crystal fruit.

Although the current weather is not suitable for the fire crystal fruit to absorb energy, it does not mean that it cannot be absorbed, but the efficiency is reduced a lot. The efficiency of the few scattered before was at least halved under the influence of the severe cold climate. If you put it in an ordinary place, it can absorb energy. The effect will only be lower.

An Yan looked at the fire crystal fruit that would only mature in a few days, and had an idea in his mind.

There is light snow falling outside now, dyeing the farm white. The snow is not thick, and it just covers the straw covering the seeds, which acts as an insulation layer. The seeds will not germinate at such a temperature, but they will not lose their activity all of a sudden. They should be able to persist for a while.

What An Yan was trying to do was to catch up with the ripening of the fire crystal fruit. The result would come out quickly, and he would adjust his strategy according to the situation.

The farm came to an end for the time being, and An Yan took Biban and Banban on their bicycles to Xicheng to pick them up.

Zhou Junting stayed in Xicheng for a while. During this period, An Yan visited him several times. Seeing that he looked good, he didn't care much. He just told him not to forget to practice martial arts every day. Even if he couldn't do anything, he could at least keep fit. .

If Zhou Junting hadn't been unable to bear the cold, there would have been no need for the two of them to live in separate places. The farm is really not far from the Xicheng County Government Building. Riding a bicycle on a snowy day can only take about twenty minutes at most. In the past, it would not be too easy to go back and forth every day, but now because of Zhou Junting's health, the two had to separate.

In fact, Zhou Junting was more anxious than An Yanyi about this matter. Knowing that practicing martial arts could bring out a warm current, he became even more concerned about it and practiced diligently every day without An Yanyi's reminder.

An Yanyi was naturally only happy, and asked Zhou Junting to supervise An Yi and Zeng Ying in normal times, so that they would not pay attention to it and forget the Tai Chi he taught him when they got busy.

After the road was cleared, it was open to traffic, but it was still not possible to drive as carelessly as before. An Yan slowed down as soon as he could to avoid skidding and flying out. He was not afraid of falling. With his balance ability, this was not a problem for him. I'm just afraid that the bike's chain will fall off halfway, which will be troublesome. If nothing else, it will waste time. Of course, there is also the possibility of falling down Spot and Banban.

Now that the two leopard tortoises are as big as a small basin, one will fit into the car basket and the other will be placed in the back seat.

Banban woke up after three days of slumber. Not only did his body not glow, but it also exuded a faint coldness. It wasn't the coldness of ice and snow, but the kind that sent chills down your back.

At first, Banban, like Spot, could not control itself, which prevented it from getting close to Zhou Junting and An Yanyi.

The little guy suddenly felt aggrieved. It seemed to understand what the problem was. It was different if it had a strong desire. It mastered new skills one step ahead of Spot, and quickly put away the coldness that filled its body.

The light on the spot is not good. The light on it is still bright and dim. It is extremely unstable and cannot decide when to light up. However, the effect is not without it. At least An Yanyi and Zhou Junting understand that the light on the spot can be controlled.

Banban usually doesn't like to stay on the kang and can see in the dark, but Spot likes light and heat very much. He will come close to wherever it is bright and warm.

Two people with the same origin, but heading in completely different directions, An Yan couldn't help but be surprised.

But they have one thing in common. Spot and Spot are both afraid of the cold. One likes the cold after waking up, while the other is not afraid of the cold.

The spots and even the turtle shell are warm. If it weren't so eye-catching in Xi City, An Yanyi would have wanted to leave the spots to Zhou Junting. This little thing is a natural small heater and can compete with him.

After arriving at the county government, An Yan put the two small ones into a two-layer basket and carried them in his hand. In the other hand, he held a basket of mung bean sprouts distributed by farm workers. There is enough food now, so don't worry about it for the time being, but there are not many fresh vegetables. Apart from radishes, cabbage, and potatoes, there seems to be nothing else. If you want to eat something else, you can only think of ways to do it yourself.

Due to previous meteorite disasters and high-temperature weather, each family had more reserves than normal, but there was nothing they could do about seasonal vegetables, which were not easy to preserve.

Mung bean sprouts were nothing in the past, but now they are considered a good dish, and many people who want to eat them still can't eat them.

An Yan put his things in his parents' dormitory as soon as he knew the way, and then came to the county magistrate's office empty-handed.

"Why is it so busy here today?" An Yan was very embarrassed when he met several groups of people along the way. He had been staying quietly in a corner until the guests in the office left before he asked.

"It's been the past two days." An Yi leaned on the back of his chair to relax, "The roads between Xicheng and several nearby cities have been gradually opened in the past few days. Most people are passing by to rest, and a few want to stay here to see Xicheng. The city will not accept people."

An Yanyi said: "Should we accept them or not?"

"I would like to accept them, but unfortunately there is no food." An Yi sighed for a while, "I told them clearly that they can stay and provide central heating to a few communities. There are still some vacant rooms inside that can be accommodated, but they have to provide food themselves. I didn't expect that there would still be some people left."

"We have good security here." Zhou Junting explained the reason.

An Yanyi: "What, is it very chaotic outside?"

Zhou Junting: "If robbery and robbery can't be cured in Anping City, how can other places be better?"

It's not that An Yanyi hasn't thought about this, but he didn't expect that it would be chaotic in just over half a month. , you must know that there is no shortage of food in all regions, and heating supplies should be sufficient.

"Dad, have you contacted the eldest sister?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon. Your grandfather will send someone to pass the news. If the situation is not good, they will take your sister back to Anyuan directly." "

Then. Where is the eldest brother?"

"He is doing well in the army. Now he has returned to the defense and is responsible for the security of Anping City."

"Haha, dad, now you are not as good as the eldest brother." An Yan thought of his father and eldest brother. , I feel very happy.

"I am in charge of tens of thousands of people. Counting the surrounding villages, there are more than that. Your brother only has more than a thousand people. How can he compare with me?" An Yi was unhappy and retorted with a dark face.

An Yan tried his best to tighten his lips and prevent himself from laughing again, lest his father would be further shocked. However, he still had to say: "Dad, this is really incomparable."

One of his subordinates is a soldier, and the other is a group of rabble, or one who simply doesn't listen to orders. It's clear who is strong and who is weak.

An Yi was almost angry. Don't think that he couldn't understand the meaning of his younger son's words, but after the anger passed, he also enjoyed it. Putting aside the self-esteem of being a father, this is actually the best result. It is better to be better than someone who is better than someone who is not able to support the wall. Thinking, he looked at his little son with blank eyes, you are still happy, such a good thing With the role model right in front of you, why don't you know how much you can learn from it?

An Yanyi was thinking about other things at this time. He didn't realize it before, but now when comparing soldiers with ordinary people, the tens of thousands of people in Xicheng are really worthless.

"Dad, please arrange it. Find two representatives from each unit, preferably young people, regardless of gender. I will teach them martial arts. After they learn it, they can go back and teach others." "What are

you doing?" An Yi was a little unclear for a while.

"Your men are too weak, I will help you train your troops." An Yanyi followed the topic and said with a smile.

"Dad, you must be careful when selecting personnel. No matter how talented you are in martial arts or how loud your voice is, you can't recruit people with evil intentions and ulterior motives." Zhou Junting added.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements now. Tomorrow, Junting, you come with me to select someone." An Yi immediately nodded in agreement.

"Dad, I came here to pick someone up, why are you arranging things for Junting again?" An Yanyi looked sad. Was he shooting himself in the foot?

"Isn't this what you suggested?" An Yi was happy, this kid also had this day.

Since the day he proposed to teach community representatives martial arts, An Yanyi has been going back and forth to An's old house every day. Some of the farm staff went to nearby villages with farm workers to buy livestock cubs, and some stayed behind to prevent the intruders from visiting.

When they heard that they wanted to practice martial arts, most citizens were not very happy.

Now everyone is not idle. The county government has organized people to grow mushrooms and other crops that do not require much light in greenhouses. The workload is not small. Those at home are also trying to reduce their activities as much as possible, just to save some food and practice martial arts. It takes a lot of physical strength, and it is normal to be unhappy unless the food supply is improved.

Naturally, we can't agree to this. This is not a matter between one person and two people. If people who practice martial arts can be treated the same as people who go out to work, then why don't everyone rush in just to stutter?

If you force people to do some things, no matter how good the starting point is, things will go bad and the people may not be grateful.

Neither An Yi nor Zhou Junting agreed with what they were rushing to do. Naturally, An Yanyi would not object. You know, it is not easy to hire a martial arts master. If Haosheng provides it, he does not charge tuition, and the citizens still want to Trying to get benefits from him almost made him angry.

In this case, An Yan simply canceled this preferential treatment and signed up for those who wanted to learn martial arts. One class tuition fee is half a day's work. Remember first, when you need them, when you will pay back the debt.

The citizens who originally resisted and wanted to negotiate terms with the government suddenly withered. The remaining citizens who could have learned martial arts for free complained a lot about others. Of course, An Yanyi was also involved in this, but after all, they were only a minority. After all, Xicheng is not so difficult that it is not enough to eat, and most people have no unbalanced mentality. Apart from being unhappy due to the gap at the beginning, they think about it later.

However, as a result, there were far fewer people willing to learn martial arts. In the final statistics, only less than 200 people signed up out of nearly 10,000 people.

"I hope others won't regret it." An Yan smiled, not disappointed, just a little regretful.

Those who were harmed by fire creatures in the past were a warning. Unfortunately, order was still there at that time, and the number of mutated fire creatures was not large. Once they became arrogant, they were eliminated by the army within a short time. Many people only heard about it and had no personal experience. Having experienced it, I cannot feel how powerful they are. Nowadays, the climate is cold, and there are fewer fire creatures. Xicheng has not encountered them even once. The citizens may have forgotten this incident long ago, but it does not mean that they do not exist.

Since there are fire-bearing creatures, it is not difficult to understand that creatures that exude ice-cold auras appear. An Yanyi deduced from the two newly grown energy crystal fruits on the World Tree that it is only a matter of time before new mutant creatures appear. Perhaps It would be more powerful than the fire-bearing creatures. The cold was obviously worse than the high temperature. As for the mutated creature corresponding to the dark green energy crystal, he couldn't deduce it. In short, it was not a good sign.

These are just speculations. An Yan has repeatedly believed that it will happen, but he cannot guarantee 100% that it will happen, but the two mutated leopard tortoises at home are solid proof. It's okay to say that Spot makes people feel good, but Spot's release of power makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts, which is probably related to the darkness.

Just when An Yan thought there were only a few people there, Captain Xing came over with dozens of young armed policemen.

"Captain Xing, what are you doing?" An Yan was slightly surprised. The armed police brigade has its own training methods. Before anyone knew that martial arts could develop similar internal strength, it was not necessary to do so.

"Learn a few tricks from you." Captain Xing waved his hand, and the dozens of young armed policemen behind him lined up and stepped forward. "See if these people are qualified to learn from you. If they are, they can work under you for a few days."

Captain Xing originally had no access to government officials of An Yi's level. Unexpectedly, An Yi demoted himself and became the county magistrate of Xicheng, so he brought his youngest son with him.

The two parties have had many contacts, so he understands some things about the An family. He knows that An Yanyi's martial arts training is not just for decoration, but a real master. According to An Yi, An Yanyi is very skilled, and ordinary armed policemen are no match for him. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to study. If An Yi exaggerates, then after studying this period, others will not study. If you have real ability, you will naturally study more.

Captain Xing knows more than the citizens. There are already some signs of biological mutation. The domesticated ones have a mutation process and are easy to deal with. The ones in the wild are hard to say. The power loss is getting more and more serious. Who knows if it will be completely eliminated one day? When the power is lost, we will have to use the old method of lighting. If there are mutated creatures breaking in in the dark, it will be impossible to guard against it. Without good skills, he can only place his hopes on others. This is something he, as the captain of the Armed Police Brigade, will not allow under any circumstances. things.

"Captain Xing, of course there is no problem with this. I have made the decision to waive these tuition fees for you." An Yi stepped forward and said with a smile, and the two quickly reached a consensus.

After they left, An Yan glanced at An Yi angrily. Dad knew how to do things and use him as a favor.

"Don't worry about it so much. Now your brother is too far away and beyond our reach. Xicheng still needs to be guarded by Captain Xing and the others. This benefit should be given." An Yi explained.

"I agree with this, but Dad, that's not how things work, is it?" An Yanyi complained a few words without taking it to heart. Seeing that An Yi realized this problem, he stopped worrying about it. They are close relatives, so there is no need to distinguish them so clearly.

"I have asked people to clean up the place, and you can take office tomorrow." An Yi compensated, "I mean you can just open a martial arts school. You will be the chief martial arts coach, and you will appoint other coaches. How's it going?"

"It's okay." An Yan twitched the corner of his mouth reservedly, but his heart was already blooming with joy. He didn't expect that one day he would also be a teacher. This felt different from teaching people to practice martial arts before. This was a teacher in the true sense. He was a head coach. What a name he had. It seemed that he had to be more serious this time and couldn't be perfunctory. If there is a good talent, you should pay more attention to teaching it. Even if you don't meet his expectations, you can still promote martial arts.

Now that the game is temporarily out of play, An Yanyi is only good at martial arts. If he doesn't devote his energy to it, his life will be too boring.

"Dad, Jun Ting is responsible for the management of the martial arts school." Feeling happy enough, An Yanyi made a suggestion.

"Okay, now Xicheng is generally on the right track. After all, Junting is not a government employee. It is not good to stay here for a long time. It would be good to run a martial arts school with you." An Yi made the final decision, "You will be the principal and be in charge of martial arts. Junting is the vice-principal, and all matters except martial arts learning are under his control. You can ask him, and if you don't mind, it's settled." "

Okay, I'll go right away." An Yanyi immediately complied. .

Not only did Zhou Junting have no objection to this, but he was quite happy to see it come to fruition. He was willing to stay with An Yanyi. He had no choice before, but now that he has the conditions, he will naturally not miss it.

The matter was settled in this way. With Zhou Junting taking care of everything, An Yanyi could save a lot of worry.

This time, the two of them took a car back to An's old house together. The car took a long time to light up, which dampened their good spirits and cast a shadow over their hearts. It has become increasingly difficult to ignite vehicles recently, and I hope things will not go to the worst direction.

As soon as An Yan and the others left, news came from An Yi's side.

"Plants on the mountain are dying in large numbers, and the ones that survived don't look normal?" An Yi put away his smile and was replaced by a serious look.

"I didn't dare to go too deep. That's the case with the mountains on the edge."

"Where are the animals?"

"They probably all ran deep into the mountains. They are rarely seen outside. Some of them are frozen to death in the snow, so you can't tell what happened."

"In this case... you go down and rest first. When you pass by the Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Forestry Bureau, call Director Lin over."

After a while, Director Lin appeared in the county magistrate's office.

"County Magistrate, are you looking for me?"

"Director Lin, have there been any changes in the greenhouses and farms recently?" "

No, the non-deciduous street trees are not in good condition, and some have begun to show symptoms of withering."

"What's the reason? Light. ?"

"Well, the power is limited, so we can only take care of the greenhouse and the breeding farm, and we can't take care of other places."

"How long is it expected to die."

"If there is still no light source, it will take a month or two at most, and a little longer. Deciduous trees will also follow the footsteps of non-deciduous trees."

"You have overlooked one point. Trees may not die, but may grow well. Come and take a look." An Yi took out a few branches with leafy branches and pushed them forward. .

Director Lin took it, picked up one and observed it carefully. The branches were generally green, but the green was a little oozing. He put it down and took another one. This one felt much better, with a hint of fresh green. It's a little shiny, very similar to those underground fluorescent plants. The last one is cold to the touch. The surface temperature is lower than the first two, and the coolness penetrates to the bottom of my heart.

"County Magistrate An, where did you get these? We haven't seen such changes near Xicheng." "

Previously, those fire-bearing creatures gradually spread from wild to domestic, and I'm afraid it will be the same this time." After all,

street trees and wild ones cannot be confused with each other. Changes Not as obvious as wild trees, which is not difficult to understand.

"Send more people to keep an eye on it and report it if anything goes wrong. Don't let this threaten the citizens." An Yi thought for a moment and then continued, "Inspect each community, and I will send other departments to cooperate with you."

Director Lin nodded . Agreed, take action immediately.

As soon as An Yan returned to An's old house, someone came from the farm to report that the people who had gone to the surrounding villages to buy livestock babies had returned and asked what to do with the chickens and ducks.

There is a part of the farm that is a breeding ground, but it was a long way from the dormitory building because of the odor problem, but now it has become a problem.

"Put it in the nearest greenhouse to circle a space and raise it first." An Yanyi didn't think of a good idea and asked several farm workers, but they were also unable to do anything. He had to make do with it for the time being and wait until later.

It's dark outside now, and the farm's electricity is limited. It only provides a few hours of lighting and heating for the two greenhouses every day. The seeds planted are sprouting one after another, but the germination rate is quite low. Nearly half of the seeds have not seen any movement so far. It is estimated that there is little hope of germination. .

The same is true for livestock cubs. Originally, An Yan had ordered more than these from farmers. Now that workers have traveled to nearby villages, the number is far less than expected, so he can only make do with it for now.

An Yan thought about more than that. With this method of cultivation, the output was limited and could only provide food for a few people. He could not even guarantee the livelihood of the more than 20 people on the farm, let alone supply it to Xicheng.

☆ 23. Chapter 23

Chapter 23

The days of waiting are always extremely difficult, and An Yan simply doesn't think about when the fire crystal fruit will mature. It

's not that he hasn't considered taking back one of the three fire crystal fruits from the spring of Yunshan Villa to verify whether his idea is correct, but this is a waste of energy. After a few months, the situation of the World Tree is only worse than before Better yet, he must keep enough energy, otherwise one day he will be injured and the mobile home comes to protect him, but he does not have enough energy to deal with it, then he will be blinded, and the mobile home will probably be destroyed by then. He We cannot take this risk and would rather postpone it for a while.

These days An Yanyi concentrates on martial arts teaching, and more than two hundred students practice martial arts together. Even if it is just a show, the scene is very spectacular.

There is not much work on the farm now. An Yanyi consulted Zhou Junting's opinion and divided Zhou Junting's subordinates into three groups. Every day, one group was sent to the city to study with An Yanyi and help with management. The martial arts school was peaceful, with few people making trouble.

An Yan felt emotional when he saw that most of the students in the martial arts training ground were in their teens to their twenties. People of this age love to play and make trouble, especially those who study martial arts. It is nothing new to get into fights over disagreements. But now they are so sensible. It is really that the environment has changed people. I have to put aside the past and let him teach so much. Students must die from headaches.

An Yan understood the truth of biting off more than he could chew. Not everyone could study it as wholeheartedly as he did. Therefore, after he demonstrated his martial arts several times, he began to teach the more than 200 people according to their aptitude. Divided into one team that teaches Tai Chi, and one team that teaches Baguazhang... In this way, the super large class turned into a small class, which looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Although the larger the number of people, the more spectacular the scene, but it is also difficult to teach and delays things. Small class teaching of martial arts is more suitable.

At the beginning, everyone practiced martial arts just to keep fit and to see if there was a chance to develop good skills. If they could learn a few points of An Yan's abilities and build a good relationship with him, they would be satisfied. However, unexpectedly, things developed beyond their reach. Imagine.

Wen Wu is the best, martial arts is not the second. If the master is narrow-minded, the most taboo is for the apprentice to be better than the master. An Yanyi doesn't mind this, but he doesn't want to be looked down upon. In order to convince the crowd, he takes the class for the first time. He fought hard to get hurt, but also wanted to show everyone the power of martial arts.

As for how to show off, this is easy to do, and you can't perform routines. An Yan's big move is to directly point out several armed policemen to fight.

When he knocked down several armed policemen alone and seemed to be able to do so with ease, everyone in the martial arts training ground was excited. Some people didn't believe it, thinking that he was just showing off and competing in person. As expected, he was beaten down for a long time. Faster than before.

In fact, not only these martial arts students, but also An Yanyi himself was a little surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

After repeated practice and thinking during this period, An Yanyi was able to freely control the direction of the air flow generated during martial arts training. He no longer had to perform several sets of punches to mobilize it as before. However, he did not expect that attaching the air flow to the body surface would actually Such a great effect, not to mention that the resistance to blows is greatly improved. The air flow is carried to the hands and feet. Even though the same force is used, the lethality is greatly increased.

With An Yanyi's own skills, it is not difficult to deal with four or five ordinary armed police, but he will inevitably get injured, and it is not impossible to be bruised. However, this time he can do it easily. All armed police are like this, and the others have not received formal training. People who are not beaten are even less surprised. It is not surprising that they are killed in a few times.

What an unexpected surprise!

The weekend soon came, the martial arts school was on holiday, and An Yan returned to his leisurely life. To be honest, he was not used to teaching on time every day. He was most comfortable staying at home.

Armed Police Brigade Station.

"Bang."

The bullet penetrated the target with only the base left, and continued to hit the big tree behind it. Something unexpected happened. The bullet did not embed in the tree, but instead stayed on the surface of the bark for a moment, and then made a smooth clang. The tree trunk fell to the ground.

The shooting range was deathly quiet.

"Stop shooting, come on, come with me and take a look." Captain Xing called a few people around him to come forward. Everyone who noticed this scene looked incredulous.

The bullet fired just now was not a blank bullet. Such a distance was enough to send the bullet into the tree. Who would have known that this would be the result.

Captain Xing picked up the warhead and inspected it to make sure it was not made of plastic. Then he checked the point where the bullet was fired. The bark was only slightly dented, leaving a shallow mark without even scratching the skin.

Everyone was silent, having a bad premonition.

Captain Xing waved his hand and signaled the others to step back. He personally fired a shot at the tree trunk at close range. The scene he expected did not appear. This time the situation was better than before. The bark was broken, but the warhead was only embedded in the trunk. Half way in, the other half is hanging out of the bark of the tree, which is full of irony.

Captain Xing's eyes darkened, he took out his army thorn and stabbed it into the tree trunk. One or two blows... From a small shallow mark, it gradually turned into a crack as big as a cup. Although there were many stabs, it was far more powerful than the bullets.

He tried several nearby trees again. Some of them were no different from before, and the military thorns could easily penetrate the tree. However, some were on par with the tree just now, and even had a slightly higher defense.

Captain Xing's face was as dark as water: "Everyone is here, gather."

In an instant, all the armed police participating in the training in the small shooting range lined up.

"From now on, those who are not on duty will be strengthened in training. The police must carry swords and other cold weapons during normal times."

Fu Wushuang, misfortunes never come singly. When Captain Xing was about to go out to inform the county magistrate and others about the matter, the car went on strike and he couldn't fight no matter what. If it catches fire, switch to another vehicle, whether it's off-road, a troop carrier, or a military motorcycle, it's all like that.

This wasn't over yet. After that, the lights flashed a few times, and the power supply stopped completely. The generators also started to give up their work. Everyone tried it one by one, and all the power facilities were shut down.

Captain Xing slapped the steering wheel hard, and immediately summoned several teams of people, holding various lighting tools, such as lanterns and torches, and headed towards the grain depot. The remaining ones stayed behind while waiting for the armed police on duty to come back and change their shifts.

At the same moment, the earth was completely plunged into darkness, with only a few sparks illuminating small areas.

Settle into your old home.

"The battery is out and the car is scrapped." An Yan said in a low voice. He was not too surprised by this, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

There is no shortage of lighting tools at home. Without electric lights, it will not be limited to darkness. An Yan made a choice and finally decided to light candles. When these are used up, he will use other lighting methods.

Fortunately, the eldest sister has returned to Anyuan a few days ago, and is protected by her eldest brother. There should be no problems there, but it will be more troublesome to contact her in the future.

It used to take more than two hours to drive, so why not take a whole day to ride? This is still a good car and a normal time. With the current road conditions, I am afraid that one day is not enough. I have to take a break in the middle to avoid frostbite, so I cannot keep walking along the road. It is already very good to be able to get there in two days.

Just as I was thinking about it, someone came to report in front, and the footsteps were hurried, as if something was urgent.

"Boss An, there's something wrong in the greenhouse." Zhang Xing was obviously trotting over, and he was breathing heavily when he spoke.

"What's going on?"

"Nearly half of the chickens and ducks started attacking people, as well as the vegetables in the field. Uncle Xu and Uncle Zhang were both injured and were resting in the dormitory. Doctor Jiang was rushing there."

An Yan said something Without saying anything, he put on his coat and walked towards the greenhouse.

"Be careful where you step." Zhang Xing reminded, "The grass is starting to prick you, I tried it."

An Yan nodded and thanked Zhang Xing, but his footsteps did not stop at all. No matter how much damage the mobile home is, this kind of thing will make people live in a mobile home. Dangerous substances that can cause adverse mutations in the internal organisms are completely eliminated, so you can move around your old house with confidence.

After leaving the house, An Yanyi became cautious. He tried his best to avoid the vegetation and walked in the middle of the cleared road. Only then did he realize that it was really the season for all things to grow. Some of the withered grass on the roadside had begun to turn green. Through the light, you could see different shades of green.

Some are obviously abnormal at first glance, while others are inconspicuous at all, just like normal vegetation. This kind is the most dangerous, and no one can guarantee that they will not be aggressive.

The greenhouse was built on the edge of the farm, next to the dormitory building, and not far from Anjia's old residence. Now that the snow on the road had been cleared, the two walked quickly and arrived at the accident greenhouse in more than a minute.

The situation was even more serious than what Zhang Xing said. Not only were people injured, but the greenhouse was broken in several places. The few remaining uninjured workers were repairing it with materials. The chickens and ducks that were causing trouble were locked in cages, and some of them were in panic. They were trampled to death, picked up and piled aside.

There was no one in the greenhouse, and all the workers were moving outside the greenhouse. An Yan took the airflow generated by martial arts practice and attached it to his body, and walked inside.

"Boss An, be careful." The workers who have been paying attention to the situation here warned in unison.

"Yeah, I'll pay attention." As soon as An Yan accepted the workers' kindness, he went to check the chickens and ducks in the cages in the corner of the entrance. There were no crops here, so there was nothing else to worry about.

It probably happened in a hurry. The crazy chickens and ducks were kept together with the normal chickens and ducks. Several chickens and ducks were covered with scars. It didn't take much to think about it. It was obvious that they were attacked by the crazy chickens and ducks.

The arrival of An Yanyi attracted the attention of these crazy chickens and ducks. One by one, they abandoned their original targets and stretched their necks to look towards An Yanyi.

Looking at these cute little chickens and ducks, which are no bigger than an adult's hand and are furry all over, with eyes now glowing fiercely and corners of their mouths stained with blood, An Yan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Chickens and ducks all have such attack power. Aren't those big livestock and wild animals...

An Yanyi didn't dare to think about it. At this time, he was particularly lucky that Xicheng was still under construction, with nearly 10,000 residents and construction workers occupying There are not many citizens who have officially moved in, and there are not many families with pets. Otherwise, such a sudden outbreak may cause many casualties.

An Yan took the empty cage on the side and opened a small opening in the cage door where chickens and ducks were mixed, just enough for a chicken and duck to get out.

Perhaps it was because An Yan was more alluring to them than to the same kind. As soon as the cage door opened, the chickens and ducks rushed towards him in a frenzy. Unfortunately, the exit was only so big, and they suddenly crowded into a pile, and no one could get out of the cage easily.

Of course, An Yanyi would not be polite to them. He didn't take off his leather gloves and just stretched out his hand to grab them. He was quick and accurate. When they reacted, they could at most get a peck, and some even ended up throwing them into another chicken coop. Cage, I still don't know what's going on.

The workers have put down their work at this moment and are all paying attention here. Because there is a layer of outer membrane blocking them, they can't see very clearly, but they can't miss the general movements. Looking at those crazy chickens and ducks, they are dying. The ground pecked hard at An Yan and grabbed their hands, not even daring to breathe.

Aren't they dazzled? Then why didn't Boss An react at all?

Just now, when Uncle Xu and Uncle Zhang entered the greenhouse to feed the chickens and ducks, he accidentally got pecked several times. The pecks on his body were nothing. The beaks of chickens and ducks are only so long. No matter how sharp they are, they can't peck through the layers. Clothes, but the holes are clearly there.

There was no cover on the hand, and it was dripping with blood. A peck made a cut, and the blood spurted out. If the chicken and duck were not still small, although they were powerful, they were easy to deal with. The two of them might have had to decide their lives here.

Even if An Yanyi was protected by thick leather gloves, he would not be so calm. You must know that the thickness of leather gloves is not a bit thin compared to clothes. With the length and sharpness of a chicken's duck's beak, it is not difficult to peck through it.

An Yan looked at the several holes in the leather gloves and his eyes flashed. These were real cowhide gloves, not artificial leather. They only blocked the penetration of chickens and ducks, and then allowed them to drive in like a torrent. Directly through the back of his hand, if it weren't for the suspected internal force to protect his body, he would now...

An Yanyi wiped a sweat for himself in his heart. Fortunately, the suspected internal force was quite powerful, which saved him from leaving bloody holes on the back of his hand.

Catching the last crazy chicken in his hand, An Yan pressed the beak with his left hand and held the back with his right hand. After careful observation, he found that the chicken's body was not iron-clad and could be crushed to death with a little force, but its mouth and claws were very sharp. , at least judging from the current situation, it can easily penetrate into the trees. If the mouth is longer, it will not be difficult to pierce the arm.

The cages for chickens and ducks are made of bamboo. Due to the targets of attacks, there are not many marks on them. However, there are also some casual attacks that fell on them and poked small holes one after another.

After finding out the situation, An Yan threw the chickens into the chicken coop and ignored them. The cage should not be broken in a short time, so he had enough time to deal with the matter.

An Yan turned his attention to greenhouse crops. Due to the low germination rate, the crops were not dense, and they were just planted not long ago. Only the green vegetables with a short growth period were lush and green, and most of the others were still small seedlings. After thinning, they could barely grow. The place is full, but you can see a few seedlings waving their claws, which is not easy to mess with at first glance.

This time, An Yanyi did not go up to test it himself. He took a bamboo pole used to build a shelf and poked at the few obviously abnormal seedlings. As soon as he touched it, there was a pull from the top of the bamboo pole, and An Yan added It took some strength to keep the bamboo pole from loosening.

After a stalemate for a while, An Yanyi increased his strength again, pulled back the bamboo pole, and looked at it carefully in front of his eyes. At this time, several marks had been drawn on the top of the bamboo pole. If it hit a person with such force, it would be enough to draw bloody marks from the person.

An Yanyi took the bamboo pole and tried other seemingly normal crops nearby one by one. Most of them were indeed fine, but a few revealed their true nature at the first touch. This was really hard to guard against.

There were two greenhouses in total. After checking the first one, An Yan turned to the second one. This one was even more eye-opening for him than the previous one.

Although not too dense originally, nearly half of the crops that filled the entire greenhouse were now drooping, looking half-dead, with all their nutrients taken up by a few giant vegetables.

As soon as An Yan entered the greenhouse, he was attracted by these plants. They were so eye-catching that it was difficult not to notice them.

"Are these edible?" An Yan was worried and tested them with bamboo poles as usual. Except for the fact that these giant vegetables were a little bigger, there were no other abnormalities, at least they didn't show any aggression.

When An Yan walked out of Greenhouse No. 2, there were already many people outside who had heard the news and came to see what was going on. At a glance, there were no less than twenty people. I am afraid that except for the two wounded and the left-behind personnel, all the others were here.

An Yan ordered them to clear all the vegetation around the dormitory building, and move it aside even if it was normal. The two greenhouses were also temporarily closed, and the heating was reduced by half, and nothing else was done.

After everyone dispersed, An Yan returned to the greenhouse, dug up some abnormal crops and brought them to the An family's old house. Of course, he also didn't forget the chickens and ducks. Regardless of whether they were normal or not, he brought them all to the An family's old house.

Zhou Junting has been watching quietly without saying anything, and followed closely with Banban and Spot.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the crazy chicken and duck suddenly became quieter. It was not obvious, but An Yan, who had been observing and paying attention, saw it.

He ignored it and placed the mutated vegetables, chickens and ducks in the corner of the backyard, not close to the World Tree, but under its shadow.

Dong Peng's frostbite would have been cured in a few days. Like several others, he was hesitant to speak.

The most commendable thing about the replica of Anjia's old house is the big tree that occupies the entire backyard. Although it is not very vital and looks like it could die at any time, it is rare. Such a big tree is rare these days. It's easy to find, and even if it's old, it's still precious.

Now this has become a source of worry. For such a big tree, the canopy is not enough to cover the entire backyard, but has already touched the edge of the building. If this mutates, wouldn't it be dangerous for the people living in Anjia's old house?

"If you are worried, you can move back to the dormitory building." Zhou Junting seemed to know what his subordinates were thinking. He glanced at a few people with no expression, but it made people feel cold for no reason.

Dong Peng and others looked at each other but did not move. The world is about to be in complete chaos. Since the boss who hired them is not afraid of death, what are they afraid of? Not to mention Zhou Junting, who is not easy to mess with at first glance, even An Yanyi, who looks casual and casual, is not an ordinary person. Mr. Zhou is a very smart person. If a gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall, I'm afraid they will have someone to rely on.

An Yan's senses were far superior to those of ordinary people. Ever since he developed what seemed to be internal strength through martial arts training, they had become even sharper. He was naturally aware of the movement here. He remained silent and let Zhou Junting handle it. Now these are just child's play. When a large number of mutations appear in humans, the existing structure may have to change. Who can control the power will depend on how the local governments and military respond.

An Yan is not worried about Anping City. As long as the upper management does not seriously reduce the number of people, no matter how chaotic it is, the proper order can be guaranteed. At least the area where An Yuan is located will be protected. In addition, An Xuyang is here, and Bixi City Much safer.

An Yan simply had no distractions and focused on what was in front of him.

The mutated plants he selected cannot be touched casually except for the fact that they are swollen in size and the one-foot-square cabbage is not offensive.

Spot and Banban have been circling around An Yanyi's feet. When he stopped moving, they each chose a plant, stopped, and then involuntarily turned their heads to look at An Yanyi. Their meaning was very obvious.

An Yan brought two small pots of mutated vegetables in front of him and carefully compared them with other mutated vegetables to see what the differences were. The result really gave him some clues.

The tomato seedling that Spot is interested in looks just like a normal tomato seedling, but when you get closer, you can feel a hint of warmth.

As soon as An Yan took off his leather gloves, he protected his right arm with what seemed like internal force. When he got close to a certain distance, the tomato seedlings that had been standing quietly started to move without any wind. The vine branches wrapped around An Yan's arm one after another with such force that they strangled the adult chickens and ducks. No problem at all. As for people, the tomato seedlings are still a little small, and the branches and leaves are not long enough. As long as they are not too unlucky, no one will lose their lives because of it.

Such strength did not pose a threat to An Yan, so he let the tomato seedlings cling to him and just felt it carefully. The touch was indeed different. Not only was it not cold, but it was warm, which was very different from normal vegetables.

Apart from that, there was no new discovery. An Yan took his hand out of the branches and leaves of the tomato seedlings and pushed the pot towards the spot he was looking forward to, telling it to take it easy.

After that, An Yan turned his attention to the cauliflower that Banban had picked. There's something wrong with this pot at first glance. The leaves that should be bright green have a dark color. He did not treat him differently. He tested it like the pot of tomato seedlings before. It felt cold to the touch, which was in line with the current situation. The difference was that the moment the cauliflower leaves wrapped around An Yan's arm, they secreted a green liquid, which was blocked by An Yan's suspected internal force. It dripped into the soil in the pot along the wrist, and emerged? Shengbr />

Dong Peng and others standing on the edge were suddenly shocked. Fortunately, they discovered it early and saw that the opportunity was wrong, so they did not break in. If it was obviously corroded like this, If sexual fluids get on it, the ending may not be pretty.

While being frightened, everyone's eyes immediately lit up and they stared at An Yanyi without blinking, wishing they could pounce on him. It wasn't until the corner of their eyes caught sight of Zhou Junting standing in the corner of the hall that they could stop their impulse. I wisely gave up the idea.

An Yan had no time to pay attention to this. After the test, he took back his hand and pushed the cauliflower in front of Banban.

When he turned around, he smiled and saw that Spot was leisurely eating the leaves of the tomato seedlings, starting from the very edge and eating in little by little. The tomato seedlings were stunned and couldn't get hold of Spot.

Spot didn't eat it all at once. He ate it for a while, then stopped and started moving towards the next target. The entire tomato seedling seemed to have been pruned, which did not hinder its growth.

Banban, on the other hand, was completely different. He swallowed the whole mutated cauliflower directly into his stomach.

The onlookers felt chills running down their spines. They couldn't tell whether it was poisonous or not. It was at least highly corrosive. There was no mistaking this. Banban wiped out the corrosive mutated cauliflower with such ease and ease. He must leave Banban in the future. Farther away.

☆ 24. Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Just when a few people thought this, Banban looked over here. Everyone seemed to see the coldness in each other's eyes, and they all took a step back unconsciously.

Banban seemed unaware and slowly crawled towards its target.

The corners of Dong Peng and others' mouths twitched. It's really no matter who keeps pets. The spots are so good and the body is warm. Holding them in your hands is like a small heater. Is it Spot? It's better not to provoke it. Even if your ability is restrained, you still can't be molested. Play with it, otherwise be careful if it scratches your paw when it is unhappy, and you will not be able to explain it to you.

At this time, the two leopard tortoises were all surrounding the giant cabbage, and the desire in their eyes was only weaker than before.

Spot and Banban originally had exactly the same habits. After the mutation, there were obvious changes. At the same time, they liked less and less food. Now they both showed a preference for the mutated giant cabbage. An Yan thought for a while, stretched out his hand and broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth. Chewing inside, it is sweet and delicious, with a slight fragrance, and the taste is very good.

Zhou Junting's heart tightened, and the words that came to his lips were not uttered in the end. It was because An Yan moved too fast, and he had no time to stop him. An Yan put the mutated cabbage into his mouth. It was meaningless to say this at this time, so it was better not to say it. If there is any problem, he can just settle the accounts with his future wife.

The others were also shocked by An Yanyi's actions, and until they came back to their senses, their hearts were still beating hard.

An Yanyi's move was really too reckless. The mutation was imported without detection. What if there was an accident?

Is that really rash? Of course An Yanyi himself didn't think so. Even if he wasn't 100% sure, he was at least 80-90% sure. Besides, he also had a suspected internal force to protect his body. If he really expected mistakes, he could minimize the damage, and at least he wouldn't be alive. Dangerous, he could guarantee that.

"This cabbage tastes good, even better than the local cabbage." An Yan praised.

Khan, he was still in the mood to joke at this time, Dong Peng and the others were defeated.

An Yan looked around and didn't see Jiang Tao, so he told Assistant Chen: "Go get a basin and let everyone try it at noon." Assistant Chen

wanted to refuse, but in the end he couldn't resist and went back to the kitchen to get a knife. He Pen, just as he was about to take action, heard An Yan's words.

"Cut it in half, and leave the remaining half to the two great heroes, Spot and Banban." As he said this, An Yan ducked down and patted the two leopard tortoises' little heads one by one. He was right. Without them, he wouldn't be so bold. No matter how easy it is to use internal power, it is not a panacea. It is impossible to deal with all unknown things. Just because Spot and Banban like things at the same time, the probability of people being able to eat them is It was quite high before he dared to try it himself.

Special assistant Chen paused for a moment, then continued. He thought he could harvest it easily, but he didn't expect that wherever the kitchen knife passed, it was like cutting on leather, leaving only a mark and leaving almost no damage to the cabbage.

Chen Ying did not believe in evil. She pressed the cabbage root with one hand and raised the kitchen knife high with the other hand. When she lifted the knife and dropped it, the cabbage root did not break in response.

Assistant Chen was sweating profusely. He didn't expect that one day, he would even be able to chop down vegetables!

"I'll do it." Chen Hua took a few steps forward, took the kitchen knife from Chen Ying's hand, and used six points of force on the original position of the knife. The result was only slightly better than that of Chen Teshu. Even the previous one had not been cut. A third of the way in.

Chen Hua increased his strength until he reached nine points, and then he cut off the mutated giant cabbage's heel.

"Huh." Chen Hua put down the kitchen knife and shouted evil.

The other people all found it unbelievable, and they were all stunned, as if they were pieces of wood. Before, they watched An Yan break off the leaves and see how relaxed he was, but no one expected that the result would be like this.

It seemed that Special Assistant Chen was not strong, but he was not so weak that he could not chop down a cabbage. In addition, Chen Hua, who later came to help, was a retired pilot. He had to put in a lot of effort to cut down a cabbage. If the cabbage root is cut off, then it is not the fault of humans. The problem lies with the mutated cabbage. If this continues to be the case in the future, wouldn't it mean that they have to work hard to even eat the cabbage?

An Yanyi was also a little surprised. He had been using his suspected internal force to protect his body before, and he didn't notice this. He removed the suspected internal force, picked up the cabbage and broke it off, and the cabbage leaves broke off.

"Assistant Chen, try again."

Chen Ying took it in confusion, but due to the excessive force, he almost lost his center of gravity and stumbled.

While everyone laughed, they felt relieved. Fortunately, the mutated cabbage is no different after the roots are removed. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to eat the vegetables. I wonder if uprooting the mutated cabbage will have the same effect. I might as well try it in the future.

An Yan cut the mutated giant cabbage in half and placed it in the food bowl in front of Ban Ban and Ban Ban. The two happily ate it, and not long after, at least seven or eight kilograms of cabbage was eaten completely.

Everyone was astonished. How could they afford to feed these two animals with such huge appetites in the future?

Zhou Junting didn't watch the whole scene. When he saw Assistant Chen chopping vegetables, he went back to his room. Others didn't know clearly, but he knew that An Yan was able to be so relaxed because of his martial arts. He had to plan hard.

Mutated creatures appeared on a large scale, and all power equipment was shut down, which completely blocked traffic. Even if you use pure human transportation such as tricycles and bicycles, you must be equipped with sufficient force, otherwise traveling far away can only be a wishful thinking.

They are out of reach of Anping City, but An Yan will definitely help them in Xicheng.

In peaceful times, people's hearts are unpredictable, and any dark things may happen. Not to mention now, the situation should still be under control. When humans also have various mutant abilities, the situation will change. We must take advantage of this moment to deal with the situation. Stabilize the situation and introduce new policies in advance to deal with the possible large-scale mutation wave. Otherwise, the government and the armed police alone may not be able to control the overall situation.

Of course, the Armed Police Brigade cannot be completely trusted.

Zhou Junting thought about it. Captain Xing is a decent person. As long as he ensures adequate supply of food, there is no need to worry too much about him having different intentions. It's hard to say for the other deputy captains and squadron leaders. They all have their own thoughts. At present, the most stable one The method is to ensure that Captain Xing retains his position.

Relying on others is not Zhou Junting's habit. He puts his focus on the martial arts school. Previously, he thought that order might return to normal soon. But now he has given up on this thought. Even if the climate remains normal and there are so many mutant creatures there, Even if we think the best, humans have the upper hand and want to complete the eradication, we don't know that we have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Times have changed, and one moment is another. Previously, An Yanyi failed to expose that practicing martial arts can produce suspected internal strength. The martial arts school is not attractive to the public. With nearly 10,000 people, including the armed police brigade, it only recruits more than 200 students. , many of whom are not really learning martial arts. The situation is different now. They no longer have to worry about being asked to leave by the country if they show abnormality. Strength is the most important thing now. As long as An Yan demonstrates his ability in public and throws out the bait, he is not afraid that the citizens will not take the bait.

After Dong Peng and others left the backyard with half a mutant giant cabbage, An Yan sank his consciousness into the sea of ​​​​consciousness to check the status of the fire crystal fruit. This energy crystal fruit has been delayed for several months, and it has finally reached harvest time. The maturity period is only within these two days. Unfortunately, the power equipment failed, so he only has time to pay attention to it now.

This sight was amazing. Through the control core, An Yan saw a dozen new energy crystals hanging on the World Tree. There were none when he saw them last night, but there were so many more overnight.

One exudes a soft light, making people feel warm just by looking at it. It is wrapped in the leaves of the world tree and the light is not noticed by anyone. Otherwise, under such a dark sky, six or seven people were waiting in the backyard. I'm afraid it would have been exposed long ago.

World Tree was not so considerate before. Could it be self-evolution?

One is green in color and full of life.

One is light blue, and there seems to be water waves flowing inside.

A cyan, cyclone is generated from time to time.

One is white and purple, with electric light flashing.

A golden light shone with a metallic cold light.

One is earthy yellow and as thick as a mountain.

...

An Yan couldn't hide his surprise. These new energy crystals were completely incompatible with the climate and environment in Xicheng. If he guessed correctly, these should be light, wood, water, wind, and... Energy crystals related to lightning, gold, and earth.

Judging from the situation of the previous three energy crystals, there are eight to nine out of ten energy crystals corresponding to these attributes on the earth. There is none here in Xicheng. This can only mean that the earth's climate and environment are no longer unified. Some places have returned to light, and some places have returned to light. Thunder clouds are always with you...

These all just surprised An Yan. What attracted him the most was not these, but an energy crystal fruit that was very inconspicuous among these colorful energy crystal fruits. It was colorless and transparent without any light. This is too similar to the suspected internal strength he developed during his martial arts training.

An Yan withdrew his consciousness from the sea of ​​​​consciousness, pondered for a moment, climbed up the world tree, and stopped in front of the energy crystal fruit.

Carefully peeling off the green and yellow leaves of the world tree used to cover it up, An Yan held it in the palm of his hand, and the previous feeling became more obvious. He tried to input the suspected internal force into it, and the energy crystal fruit grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Until the Dantian was half empty, An Yanyi reluctantly stopped, and the energy crystal fruit stopped growing at the same time.

An Yan followed the same pattern and tried it on the other energy crystal fruits one by one. The result was as expected. Except for the first colorless energy crystal fruit, which reacted, there was no movement at all. He had to pick off the mature fire crystal fruit. Crystal fruit under the tree.

The energy crystal fruit has a similar function to a rechargeable battery. It can both charge and release energy. He had never had the chance to use it before, so this time An Yan planned to use this fire crystal fruit to give it a try.

He calculated the coverage area of ​​the farm, adjusted the fire crystal fruit's energy release radius and energy output intensity, and then walked towards the farm.

After Zhou Junting finished thinking about it, he stood in front of the window and paid attention to An Yanyi's movements. When he saw him climbing a tree and walking towards the farm, he had a rough idea, so he didn't ask Dong Peng and the others to follow him for protection. Some things are better known to those who know them. Less is better.

People are not prohibited from entering the backyard, but I also want to do the opposite. Since the World Tree cannot be hidden, it is better to simply display it openly in front of everyone.

☆ 25. Chapter 25

Chapter 25

It's been snowing here in Xicheng, but it's not like the heavy snowfall in the first few days. It keeps falling and falling. In the past few days, the snow-covered farm has just been cleared once, and now there are more snow layers. thick.

Except for the greenhouse, there is almost no vegetation on the farm. Of course, those seeds that have not germinated so far are not counted.

For the sake of safety, An Yan took a wooden stick to lift the snow, and checked several places one after another to make sure that the seeds were fine. Although a small number of sprouts obviously looked abnormal, the leaf buds were just that big, and even the soil layer None of them could be penetrated and would not pose any threat to him at all. Then An Yanyi strode towards the center of the farm.

When he got there, An Yan used the fire crystal fruit energy stored in his mobile home to charge the No. 5 fire crystal fruit in his hand until it was saturated, and then he turned on the energy release state. In an instant, the fire crystal fruit, which had previously been cold, suddenly became as warm as spring. Holding it in the palm of your hand was no different from holding a small heater.

An Yanyi didn't expect that the energy crystal fruit actually had such a function, and couldn't help but look happy. He thought that when there were more fire crystal fruits, he would leave one for Junting to use, so that he would not be able to go out and walk around at will in such a harsh cold climate.

But now is not the time to think about this. As soon as An Yan put away his impulse to give the fire crystal fruit to Zhou Junting, he buried the fire crystal fruit in the soil.

This time he only briefly covered up the Fire Crystal Fruit. If he had the wrong idea, he would have to take it away soon. Otherwise, it would encourage the mutant creature's arrogance and benefit the enemy, and An Yanyi would not do it.

If successful, the farm will become a part of the mobile home. The Fire Crystal Fruit can be controlled to move anytime and anywhere without having to worry about it being discovered.

The moment the fire crystal fruit was buried, the control core reacted. A small bud grew on the fist-sized seed, and some relevant information appeared at the same time.

An Yan looked at it with regret flashing in his eyes. His idea was correct, but the prerequisites were so complicated that it was obviously beyond his expectation.

As expected, the mobile home has a farm configuration, but it requires collecting the five elements of energy crystal fruits of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the light energy crystal fruits to operate. Currently, there are only fire crystal fruits, and the farm functions are incomplete. The crops grown on the farm, except for In addition to actively attacking people, they are no different from crops growing in the wild, that is, the mutated plants will passively fight back. If they don't have some ability, the farm workers may not even be able to weed and loosen the soil.

Now the only thing An Yan can take out is the fire crystal fruit, and the rest are just guesses. If the energy crystal fruit produced by the World Tree is not what he thought, then he will be completely blind.

An Yan automatically ruled out this possibility. Judging from his many years of gaming experience, the energy crystal fruits produced on the World Tree were 99% as he guessed.

As soon as An Yan returned to An's old house, he focused on Spot.

It emits light on its back and has its own warmth. Especially recently, its brightness has gradually increased and its flickering frequency has gradually decreased, so it can be used as a small sun.

In order to control the newly emerged abilities, Spot's original leisurely days are no longer. This is not what it thought. In fact, both An Yanyi and Zhou Junting expressed dissatisfaction with its sometimes bright and sometimes dark situation.

It's okay when the light is not strong. When watching TV, the screen is actually flickering all the time, but it is basically invisible to the human eye. It is only more obvious at night when the lights are not turned on, but no matter what, it is still within the range of human adaptation. .

Now that the brightness has increased, and it continues to flicker, even Spot himself can't stand the discomfort in his eyes, so he has no choice but to follow in Ban Ban's footsteps and work hard to master new abilities.

Although it has not yet reached the ideal situation, it can be accepted by An Yanyi and Zhou Junting if it flashes every hour and a half.

During this period, the biggest gain of Spot is that the brightness can be adjusted at any time. This is due to the threats of the two owners. If it cannot do this, they will keep it locked in the room and not allowed to go anywhere, which of course it will not do.

Sure enough, motivation comes from pursuit. Spot's new ability, which he had never been able to control in the past, soon found the trick after being restricted from moving even by being restricted by a small quilt. In just a few days, he roughly mastered it. In a few days, the shackles that bound it will be completely removed, and it will be able to come and go freely like Banban again. It feels great.

Spot seemed to sense the "malintention" from An Yanyi and quickly crawled behind Zhou Junting to seek shelter.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Junting's eyes twitched slightly and he looked at him in confusion.

"Nothing, I'll use some spots." An Yan retracted his gaze, took a few steps quickly, and dug out the spots hidden behind Zhou Junting's back. Feeling the struggle on his hand, he said angrily, "Be good, I won't cook you and eat you. Why are you struggling so hard?"

Zhou Junting reached out and patted the spotted head, although he didn't understand what was going on. , and also followed An Yanyi's wishes, using inducements: "Go with Yanyi to do some errands, and I'll give you

something delicious to eat later." Seeing that Spot slowly calmed down, Zhou Junting glanced at An Yanyi, asking him to hurry up. Click to do something. His probing eyes just now scared Spot, so be careful in the future.

An Yanyi: "..."

After being speechless, he carried the foot-long speck behind his back and climbed up the World Tree again.

As soon as he arrived at the destination, An Yan took Spot out of the bag and said to him gently: "Come on, Spot, use your power on this energy crystal fruit, be gentle and don't use too much force."

Spot was still a little uncomfortable at first . Happy, the little master is not gentle to him at all, it is better to be the big master. If it is not particularly comfortable to be around the little master, it will not do it. But why is this fruit like the little master, people can't help but want to get close to it?

Spot soon forgot the slight discomfort of being scared before, and his attention was completely attracted by the softly glowing fruit in front of him. He obediently did whatever the little master asked him to do.

Watching the energy from Spot's body being injected into the energy crystal fruit little by little, An Yan's eyes became brighter and brighter. It really worked. From this point of view, mutant creatures with corresponding attributes can charge corresponding energy crystals. Although I don't know how different it is from the natural absorption efficiency in places with abundant energy, it is at least better than absorbing energy anywhere. Reads; .

An Yanyi is not an unscrupulous profiteer who exploits his employees, not to mention that he has been raising Spot for almost a year and has developed feelings for it. How can he not consider it? When it consumes more than half of its power, let it stop. It is not safe outside now, so it must save some power to protect itself.

"Spot, let's come back next time." An Yan whispered to the leopard-print tortoise in his arms, regardless of whether it could understand it or not.

Spot was actually a little reluctant to let go. He kept moving in An Yan's arms and finally calmed down after a while.

"Okay, I'll leave one for you when the time comes." An Yan made a promise.

After Ban Ban's attempt was successful, An Yan took Ban Ban with him to the tree.

Although the only dark green energy crystal fruit that makes people feel uncomfortable at the sight has no effect on starting the farm, it would be better if it matures early, at least it can provide energy for the mobile home.

If it is said that the scene of Banban charging the energy crystal fruit is very comfortable, then Banban's ability to use it is a bit permeable. As soon as An Yan looked at it, he felt as if he had fallen into the Nine Netherland. Black air and green smoke filled the area around the energy crystal fruit, contaminating it. I'm afraid there won't be any good results.

Banban is a little sad. This ability is easy to use, but it is not close to anyone. Every time it uses its ability, it can feel the instinctive resistance from its little master. Wuwu, it doesn't want to, it really wants to cry. But soon it firmly believed that as long as the two masters wanted it, it would stay by their side and do whatever they asked, otherwise... A fierce light flashed in Banban's eyes.

An Yan was horrified. Why did he feel so cold at that moment?

"Okay, let's go back." An Yan looked at Banban's desperate posture and hurriedly stopped him. Seeing that it was unmoved, he could only attach what seemed to be internal strength to his hand and pick it up, "That's enough, let's get down." Come again."

Banban felt the warmth on his back, narrowed his eyes comfortably, and stayed still, no longer trying to prove that he was not useless.

An Yanyi didn't feel Banban's little thoughts at all. It was the same as it was before, but it was still the same now. It was just that when Banban used his abilities, he had to use what seemed to be internal force to protect his body. It was a little troublesome, but the rest was really nothing.

After finishing all this, An Yan thought of his parents in Xicheng.

Although there was nothing to worry about, his parents were protected by security guards sent by Zhou Junting, but he couldn't let go without taking a look. Even if Anping City is beyond reach, Xicheng is so close, no matter what, he has to go and see it in person.

After telling Zhou Junting about this, An Yan planned to leave when he seemed to have recovered most of his internal strength, but Zhou Junting also wanted to go with him.

"Junting, this..." Halfway through the words, An Yan stopped talking.

Zhou Junting is so shrewd. He knows the meaning of An Yanyi's unfinished words. Isn't it because he thinks he has no ability to protect himself and is afraid of delaying his trip? Of course, he will not belittle himself. There is concern about him being injured, but he is not old, weak, or disabled, and does not need to be protected behind him. The situation in the city is much more complicated than here on the farm. He can make some difference if he goes there. force.

Besides, it's not like he didn't have anything to rely on. Zhou Junting waved his hand, and a gloomy and cold aura instantly enveloped the two of them. An Yan felt a chill running down his spine, as if his internal power was protecting his body on his own.

"Okay, let's go together." After figuring out what was going on, An Yan smiled, with a little dissatisfaction in his words, "When did the ability appear, and you even hid it from me?" "Just now,

you fed Banban and the others to eat the mutant giant Not long after the cabbage." Zhou Junting raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and moved his hands again. The gloomy atmosphere was no longer there, and was replaced by a lively atmosphere in an instant, making the people inside feel relaxed and relaxed unconsciously.

"Is this?" An Yanyi was shocked. The power of life and the power of death coexist in one person. These are two extremes, just like water and fire. If one is not controlled properly, he can't help but frown slightly, " Is this okay for you?"

☆ 26. Chapter 26

Chapter 26

"It's okay." Zhou Junting shook his head and temporarily suppressed the small problem of the coexistence of two forces. The main reason is that the dark ability is stronger than the wood ability. After all, people are living beings, so it is impossible not to be affected.

It seems that he has to work harder to combine with An Yan as soon as possible. Of course, it is not that there are no other solutions, but there are ready-made personnel around him. It is most convenient and trouble-free to use such external force to achieve balance.

After a little thought, Zhou Junting made a decision, and the time was set after this trip to Xicheng.

"Now that you have the ability, then the others..." Seeing Zhou Junting say it was okay, An Yan felt relieved and thought of other things.

"You can find out if you just ask the convening personnel." Zhou Junting is not afraid of them hiding it. The suspected internal strength that An Yan has developed as soon as he practices martial arts will be made public in the near future. He doesn't care if it's a day early or a day later. It's better to take advantage of this opportunity to let Fei People with abilities saw hope and gathered around An Yanyi. This opportunity was not to be missed. With him in the mix, the chips were big enough to determine the future direction.

"Okay, let's do it this way." An Yanyi agreed with Zhou Junting's approach, and at the same time named the suspected internal force Qi Jin. There must be a way to explain it to the outside world. We can't always call it "suspected internal force". As for whether there will be other I'll leave the title for later.

With the decision made, the two took action immediately.

After being demonstrated by An Yanyi and Zhou Junting, those who were initially apprehensive and did not dare to expose their abilities at will, after thinking about it, spoke out boldly.

After some statistics, there were more than 20 people on the farm, and there were a total of five people with abilities. Counting An Yanyi and Zhou Junting, that was seven people. This ratio was not low. I wonder if it was the same in Xicheng.

Among the five ability users, three of them are either ice type or dark type, and the other two, one is wood type, and one seems to be an animal tamer. He can't say exactly how it is. Anyway, he is very close to animals. Even Spots and Spots now occasionally give him looks, but such things would never happen in the past.

An Yanyi is special. Excluding him, four of the six ability users are related to the ice and snow and the polar night in Xicheng. With such a high ratio, it seems that the emergence of ability users is closely related to the environment in which they live.

"Liu Dingshan, you stay at the farm with Zhang Xing and the others, and practice martial arts when you have nothing to do. Dong Peng, Fang Wei and Zhang Qiao will go to Xicheng with us in the afternoon." After An Yanyi and Zhou Junting discussed it, they immediately began to assign tasks.

Everyone nodded in agreement and started to act separately.

The few people who followed An Yan to Xicheng prepared the necessary equipment and immediately entered a state of rest to recuperate enough to cope with the unpredictable scenes that followed. Others heard that practicing martial arts can develop energy and become capable people. They all worked hard and wished they could become martial arts masters immediately. They didn't need anyone to push them. They were very motivated. Even Uncle Zhang and Uncle Xu who had injured their hands were eager to try. .

Zhou Junting is not optimistic. This is just an impulse. I am afraid that such enthusiasm will not last long. Practicing martial arts is a hard job. If you don't have enough perseverance, you will probably give up before the day you develop your strength. It is far less easy than it is for a person with super powers to gain abilities.

The term "superpower" was not coined by An Yanyi and the others. There was such a saying before, but it was not officially adopted and has been circulating in a small area. An Yanyi and the others directly used it, which is better than calling it a mutant. , similarly, anyone with special abilities is collectively called an ability person.

Even so, things in the world are usually accompanied by pros and cons. Judging from An Yanyi's performance, martial arts training is full of stamina. People with super powers just run a step first and don't work hard. They are likely to be overtaken by martial arts warriors who come after them. Which one is better depends on personal choice.

Xingyuan City.

"It's dawn, I can see the sun!" Zhang Nan was so excited that he jumped up on the bed and almost collapsed the bed.

"Let's go out and take a look. Finally, we don't have to hide from the sun like a ground mouse." Zhang Nan said hello, then threw on his clothes casually, not even afraid of the cold outside, and just ran out.

Xiao Han wasn't too excited. He hadn't figured out what was going on outside yet. Who knew whether dawn was a good thing or a bad thing? Although darkness easily breeds gloom, it also provides a layer of protection for everyone, making them less likely to be stared at. It's hard to tell when it's dawn. Nowadays, the relief food distributed in the city is getting less and less, and every family is facing the crisis of running out of food. The family must pay close attention to this.

There are many people like Zhang Nan shouting and yelling in the sun. Everyone has had enough of these dark days.

While everyone was going crazy about this, bad news came one after another. First, the electrical equipment was completely turned into a decoration, and then there were screams from all over the city, which overshadowed this joy.

Zhang Nan's wanton shouting suddenly stopped. He saw with his own eyes that a person was dragged into the green belt by the trees in the community. There were only a few calls for help, and then there was no more sound. He boldly took a look and saw that the person had become shriveled up. In a ball, he couldn't care about anything anymore and rolled and crawled upstairs.

"Xiao, Xiao Han..." Zhang Nan's face turned pale, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Han came back from his thoughts.

"What's going on outside?" Director Ji held up one of his trouser legs and ran out of the room disheveled, with a look of shock on his face. The screams outside were too miserable.

"Tree, bind people, suck blood." Zhang Nan finally regained his composure and tried to straighten his tongue.

"Are you getting close to the vegetation?" Xiao Han's face darkened, "Didn't I tell you not to get close to any strange living creatures?" "

I didn't get close, otherwise you might not be able to see me now." Zhang Nan quibbled, thinking in his heart Damn it, he was so happy that he forgot about this fatal thing. Xiao Han repeatedly warned him, but when it came to the end, he actually forgot all of this. No, he must not be so forgetful next time. What happened just now People's fate is a lesson to others.

The degree of mutation varies from place to place, and the changes in Xicheng are much more obvious than in Xingyuan City. This also makes them wary of vegetation and animals in advance. When mutations occur suddenly, the consequences are much lighter than in Xingyuan City.

"Alas, they deserved this fate." After figuring out the situation, Director Ji quickly calmed down and sighed.

They had already suggested, intentionally or unintentionally, that the community should uproot some large trees and lock up pets. Unfortunately, they were outsiders and only moved in two days before the dark sky enveloped Xingyuan City. Not many people were willing to listen to them, let alone the green belt of the community. Even the potted plants at home may not be willing to be placed outside. No, something will happen nowreads;.

After the sun rose, the room temperature began to gradually rise. Although it was still cold, it was much better than before. This long-lost temperature did not warm the hearts of the three people in the room. There were constant roars and wailings outside, and the atmosphere in the living room was extremely dull for a while. .

"Ah, what should I do? We don't have much food at home. We can hold on for at most seven or eight days." Thinking of the food stored at home, Zhang Nan couldn't help but feel desperate.

"You'd better worry about the water first." Director Ji stood up suddenly, "Hurry and dig out all the water-holding utensils. A lot of water pipes have been frozen these days. As soon as the sun comes out, the snow will melt within two days. , when there is food but no water, then let's just wait to die of thirst. Don't forget, it's late spring now, and the normal temperature is more than ten or twenty degrees." Neither of them

mentioned venturing out, otherwise There is no need to worry about food and water. If wild materials cannot provide a city's supply, how can it not feed the three of them?

Xiao Han didn't comment on this, but he didn't object. He carried two large buckets and followed the two of them to the top floor. There was a lot of clean snow there, which was perfect for taking home.

"It smells like blood!" Zhang Nan stopped when he reached the fourth floor and turned a little pale.

Xiao Han listened attentively, and heard the sound of crunching and biting bones from the direction of 401. His expression changed slightly, and he immediately left quickly: "Quickly, I'll take the lead, Nanzi, you will come from behind."

Zhang Nan swallowed his saliva, and he didn't feel anything at all. In this way, when Xiao Han said this, scenes from horror movies suddenly flashed in his mind. He was not afraid but also scared. He immediately urged the two of them to go upstairs and go back quickly.

The process of getting the snow went very smoothly. Except for the fourth floor, there were no problems. The three of them made several trips back and forth and filled up all the water containers in the house.

There was such a big movement outside, but the patrol police never showed up. Xiao Han had a bad feeling. Could it be that the traffic was completely paralyzed now? He turned on the light and tried it. Sure enough, the light did not turn on as expected.

Zhang Nan had regained his composure. He saw the pebbles on the balcony, picked one up at random, swung his arms and threw it towards the big tree dozens of meters away. As soon as the stone approached the tree, it was smashed into several small pieces by the branches that stretched out. He couldn't help but click his tongue. The forgotten memory suddenly came to his mind. He retched a few times and turned back without any interest. living room.

"Close the balcony doors and windows tightly." Xiao Han raised his ears and listened carefully. There were a lot of rustling sounds in the distance, as if some small animals were crossing the border in large numbers. "Go into the bedroom."

Zhang Nan and Director Ji were busy He did as he was told and didn't start asking until he sat on the bed. The color that had just returned to his face was now gone.

"Something is coming, and there are a lot of it." Xiao Han looked sternly, "Come here to help, use quilts and clothes to block all the gaps in the doors and windows, and try not to make any noise." After

the three of them finished their work, they sat motionless on the bed, and a large number of animals crawled over The sound was so obvious that they could hear it clearly even in a tightly covered and well-soundproofed bedroom.

It didn't take long for the sound of gnawing to be heard, and screams and cries one after another in the community. Although it was not as close as before, it was far more frightening than before.

Zhang Nan, the timidest one, trembled with hands and feet and sat on the bed without daring to move.

Director Ji's expression was quite bad. He had already judged what kind of animal was outside from the footsteps crawling by. It was a rat. He thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Han, there are some insect repellents and mosquito repellents that cover up the scent, such as toilet water." Objects?"

He wanted to spray the entire room with insecticides and rodenticides, but spraying these in a confined space would kill one thousand enemies and damage oneself five hundred, so he had to give up and look for items that were basically harmless to the human body.

"Yes, just sit down and I'll do it." Xiao Han got off the bed gently, opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of toilet water. It wasn't the spray type, which was a bit troublesome, so he had to open the lid and apply it on the doors and windows for free. After pouring out the quilt and clothes, most of the bottle was used. Then he stopped and divided the remaining bit between the three of them. Suddenly, the whole room was filled with the smell of toilet water.

☆ 27. Chapter 27

Chapter 27:

Settling down in the old house.

An Yan finished dressing up and said, "Are you ready?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then let's go."

The five people, together with two leopard tortoises, rode a tricycle and three bicycles towards Xicheng.

With the little spotted sun around, the group even spared the need for lighting tools, but they still had their things ready, just in case.

The road from the farm to Xicheng was built not long ago. There were no street trees or other vegetation on both sides. Everyone was relaxed and entered Xicheng without any obstacles.

You have to be careful when you get here, because it is a new town and there is not much greenery, but you have to pay attention.

As soon as we were alert, something unexpected happened.

"Whoops." The originally intact road surface turned up, and tree roots poked out. Coincidentally, they were stuck on the tires of Dong Peng's bicycle, which was on the outpost, and then there was a "chichi" sound of air leakage.

Dong Peng was not an ordinary person. He reacted quickly enough to give up his bicycle and fell into the middle of the road.

Others were not idle either. This time, the people in An Yan's area, except for Zhou Junting who had no experience in this area, the rest were all novices. They were either bodyguards or capable security guards, and they all took action immediately.

In an instant, all kinds of abilities were flying around. The tree roots that had been showing their claws before were beaten into sieves, but they still had tenacious vitality and still approached them until they were cut off. Then they twisted a few times and then collapsed on the ground.

"Pick up the tree roots." Zhou Junting, who had been protecting him, said.

Everyone didn't know why, but they still obeyed. Dong Peng was the closest, picked up the iron rod tied to the back seat and poked the root of the tree. When there was no movement, he pushed it to An Yanyi.

"It's okay, it's dead, just bring it to me."

Dong Peng was not embarrassed at all. Caution is a must, otherwise he might not know how he died in such an environment.

But since Zhou Junting, the wood-type superpower, said so, Dong Peng was relieved, bent down to pick up the tree root, and handed it to Zhou Junting.

Zhou Junting was right, the roots of the tree were indeed dead, and there was no movement from Dong Peng, so everyone felt relieved.

Zhou Junting took it, and the roots of the tree soon withered completely, and the vitality that had been dissipating after death was sucked clean all of a sudden.

Dong Peng subconsciously took a step back, and the others also looked horrified.

Zhou Junting didn't care at all, he wanted this effect. In the current environment, force and deterrence were more effective than anything else, but this did not include An Yanyi. When he was using his ability, he kept staring at An Yanyi without blinking. Seeing that he did not feel taboo towards him because of this, he smiled silently, like spring flowers blooming, which made An Yanyi's eyes move.

"Can this supplement your superpower?" An Yanyi asked.

"Well, there are other uses." Zhou Junting only said half a sentence, which made everyone feel itchy, but no one asked. Except for An Yanyi, no one else here can try to find out from Zhou Junting what he doesn't want to say.

As for An Yanyi, there was no hope that he would not embarrass Zhou Junting when he had nothing to do.

"Let's get out of the car." An Yan greeted Zhou Junting, then walked toward the tree that attacked them with a sword in hand. The roots of the trees close to everyone were cut off, but the others were still ready to move, but they were far away and beyond the reach of the whip, so they could not pose a threat to them.

An Yan approached the attack range of the big tree one by one, and the roots of the nearby trees were all pulled towards him, and a branch was also added. Dong Peng and others were about to help, when An Yan waved his long sword and "swiped" it a few times. Wherever the sword light passed, tree roots and branches flew, and the obstacles in front of him were cleared away in an instant.

Everyone's eyes were surprisingly bright, and they decided to practice more martial arts in their free time. The power is easy to use, but the endurance is obviously not good, at least for now. After they used it for a round just now, they clearly felt that the power was empty for a while. , based on this calculation, I'm afraid it will be exhausted after just one or twenty uses.

On the other hand, An Yanyi looked relaxed and showed no signs of weakness at all. Not to mention his offensive power, this alone was enough to make people envious.

An Yan approached the trunk of the mutated tree step by step. None of the tree roots and branches that were blocked on the way were effective. They were all chopped down by An Yan and spread on the ground around him.

Wherever An Yan passed, it was like entering an uninhabited land. The mutated tree posed no threat to him. When he stood under the mutated tree, one side of the mutated tree had been cut away, and the roots and branches of the other side were pointing towards the intruder. Tan, but allowed them to show their teeth and claws again, but they couldn't do anything about An Yan. After all, it was not a vine, and it had no ability to bend freely for the time being, so it could only stare from the side.

"Come next." An Yan turned around and motioned to Zhou Junting.

Zhou Junting understood, and ignored the branches and roots that were trying to reach this way, and put his hand on the trunk of the mutated tree. Soon, the mutated tree withered and decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became completely motionless.

After inhaling a large amount of life force, Zhou Junting felt a little overwhelmed. When he saw An Yanyi guarding him, he transferred his life force to An Yanyi without thinking.

An Yan was startled at first and instinctively wanted to take action, but he stopped when he saw it was Zhou Junting. As the unknown energy continued to flow into his body, he felt that his whole body was full of energy. He couldn't help but ask softly: "What did you lose to me?"

"Life force." After seeing that it was almost done, Zhou Junting withdrew his hand and faced the mutated tree that made no sound. Pointed in the direction.

An Yan understood immediately, thinking that this was Zhou Junting's ability that he didn't want people to know for the time being, so he didn't ask any more questions at this time.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Junting took a few steps back and asked with a raised eyebrow when he noticed that An Yan hadn't followed.

"Game."

Everyone, including Zhou Junting: "..."

An Yan smiled and did not distinguish it for himself. He simply picked up the long sword Yinshuang and slashed at the withered mutated tree, completely using the sword as a knife.

In the past, cutting down trees like this was too inefficient, but now, the trunk of the mutated tree will be broken in just a few strokes.

"Come on, help us chop the mutated tree into pieces." An Yan greeted.

Dong Peng and the other three were speechless and each took tools from the tricycle and started working. There was only one axe, and the others were either iron rods or swords. Forget about swords, they didn't have An Yanyi's ability to chop with swords. The tree was a joke, so I had to make do with a knife at first.

An Yan took a look at it and thought that the efficiency of the two people's knife use was too low and it would easily cause wear and tear on the knife, so he asked Fang Wei and Zhang Qiao, who was using the knife, to rest on the side, and later replaced Dong Peng, who was happily chopping firewood with an axe. .

Even though the three of them took turns chopping the tree, their progress was far less than that of An Yanyi. He chopped all the trunks of the big tree that were more than half a meter above the ground. It took the three of them to chop the collapsed trunk into three sections. The visual efficiency was not even one-fifth.

An Yan stared at the remaining tree roots for a long time, then turned back to the tricycle, but found nothing. Also, they did not bring farm tools with them on this trip. The only reason they had an ax was because it was powerful enough to kill people. Hoes and the like were not considered by them at all.

It seems that using tools to dig trees is obviously not possible, so An Yanyi can only do the next best thing, and feels wronged by Yinshuang for digging the ground after cutting down the trees.

Yinshuang, which seems to have internal power, is easy to use. Not only can it cut iron like mud, but at least it can cut mud like chopping vegetables, eggplants and melons.

Soon, An Yan cleared out a circle of soil around the roots of the tree, then sheathed Yinshuang, squatted into a horse stance, held both ends of the roots with both hands, took a deep breath, and lifted the roots. Then slowly lift it up.

Dong Peng and the other two people all stopped what they were doing and looked at An Yanyi's performance in amazement.

These are the roots of a mutated tree. Although many of the roots have been cut off, there are still enough roots left to support the mutated tree. There are some things in this world that you cannot think deeply about, and it will make people feel incredible if you think about them too much. For example, seeds and leaf buds burst out of the ground, and tree roots have the power to grip the ground. These are not what humans can do. Now An Yanyi uses his own power to uproot a mutant tree instead of an ordinary tree. This is the opposite of Lu Zhishen. Weeping willows are not on the same level.

Sure enough, things are not the same as before. Things cannot be inferred based on common sense. Maybe this kind of thing will be common in the future, and maybe they will be able to do it in a while.

Once the roots of the tree were moved, it was easy. The next time An Yan applied force, he uprooted the mutated tree in one fell swoop.

An Yan didn't stop and waved Yinshuang at the root of the tree. In a few breaths, the tree stump turned into a pile of debris. He took his sword and rummaged through the pile of debris. When he saw a green bead, his eyes suddenly lit up. a bit.

Zhou Junting had been paying attention to An Yanyi, and he immediately realized that he wanted to get closer to take a closer look, but when he got closer to a certain distance, he felt the attraction from the green pearl.

"Try it, this might be useful to you." Before Zhou Junting could ask, An Yan took the initiative to mention it.

Zhou Junting took it without saying a word. The green beads were not pure green, but mixed with a trace of black energy. Zhou Junting did not feel any discomfort. This thing seemed to be tailor-made for him. He knew it instinctively without anyone having to tell him. Green beads are good for him.

"Try using conscious guidance. If it doesn't work, use superpowers." An Yanyi suggested.

Zhou Junting did as he was told and succeeded in the first attempt. However, due to his lack of skill, the energy from the green beads poured into his body, leaving very little. But now was not the time to try again and again. When he felt it was working, he stopped and put the green beads into his inner pocket.

"Boss An, what was that just now?" Dong Peng and Zhang Qiao came around and asked curiously when they had time.

"The products of the mutant tree are roughly equivalent to the crystal nuclei and energy cores in the game." An Yanyi said casually.

"Can it be found in humans?"

An Yan's smile faltered, and the four people present turned their attention to Fang Wei, who was still chopping the tree, and saw cold air rising from the soles of his feet.

"Why do you think so of me?" Fang Wei was puzzled. "There are many situations like this in apocalyptic novels. I just said it casually." "Don't say

this again, don't even think about it." An Yan looked solemn. , he could think from the game that there may be similar crystal nuclei. Fang Wei derived the analogy from apocalyptic novels. If this is true, it may not be possible to stop it for a while, but it can be delayed as long as it lasts. Such speculation can only die. In the belly, at the same time, be vigilant.

Fang Wei's sudden words broke the originally relaxed atmosphere. Everyone was busy working. After cutting the entire mutated tree into pieces and finding that there was no second green bead, they summed up their experience and Repair the car.

The front tire of Dong Peng's car was punctured and needed to be repaired. Several people had considered this situation before coming, and they had all the repair tools and materials. Dong Peng spent some time repairing the tire.

After resting, everyone continued on their way.

☆ 28. Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Everyone is more careful this time. Fortunately, the street trees are all newly planted, not the kind of old trees that are decades old. Coupled with the influence of the dark nights these days, many trees are half dead. The overall number of mutant trees is not large, and even the roots are There were even fewer people who could move, but the journey afterwards was smooth.

After An Yanyi confirmed his idea, he no longer used his energy to split the tree to find the mutant tree energy core. More than half an hour later, the group of five people successfully arrived at the county government building.

Several doormen were attracted by the glowing spots and stared at them with envy in their eyes.

No matter how good the conditions in Xicheng are, no matter how appropriate the government's preventive measures are, unprepared mutations are still unavoidable. After the accident, hundreds of people died in several communities in just a few hours. Thinking of that scene, several gatekeepers still have lingering fears.

Some are unlucky, and some are lucky. Will pets that are still close to people after mutation be in trouble? Look, here comes another one, the youngest son of the county magistrate's family. This is really...

the envy in the eyes of the several guards became more and more obvious, almost beyond words.

An Yan and the other five people did not hide and tuck them in. They openly let the guard look at them, but they did not stop there to show off. They said hello to the guard and went straight to the county magistrate's office.

Without such a convenient lighting method as electricity, the entire Xicheng instantly returned to its old state, and could only rely on various fire sources to see things. The moving light source spots became particularly conspicuous.

This is also now, before on the road, An Yanyi and the others did not dare to let the spots increase to such brightness. It is no joke for moths to fly into the flames. The bright light in the dark is a bright target, not to mention those phototactic creatures. Even other creatures will be attracted by the light, and no one dares to joke with their own lives.

No, before they got to the county magistrate's office, people along the way who saw the light through the windows cast inquiring glances at them.

"Knock knock."

"Who is it?"

"Dad, it's me."

"Xiaoquan, open the door."

After An Yi finished speaking, the office door opened with a click, and An Yan, five people and two turtles filed in.

As soon as Spot entered, the office suddenly became as bright as day.

Before An Yi had time to greet a few people, he was attracted by An Jing, who was lying at An Yan's feet, stretching his neck and looking around.

An Yi knew that the spots would glow, but at that time it was only a weak light, just a little better than fireflies, and it kept flickering on and off. Although it was strange, it had no real effect, so he didn't take it to heart. Now it's On the other hand, even if the spots only glow and serve no other purpose, they are still rare treasures.

An Yi has not done any research on these, but he also knows some common sense. He sees that the light emitted by the spot is very similar to sunlight, but the brightness is different. It is overkill for illumination. The real function is to provide biological illumination.

You must know that even though there was electric light in the past, the human body will still feel a little abnormal after a long time. After all, common lights cannot be compared with real sunlight, but spots solve this problem.

"Yan Yi..."

An Yi just stood up and was interrupted by An Yanyi: "Dad, there are so many people in Xicheng, don't tell me that there are no people with light powers." "

Oh, this..."

"Since Yes, Dad, don't worry about Spot, I need it over there too, Spot, don't you think so?" An Yan bent down and patted Spot's little head, seeking the approval of Spot in a serious manner.

Spot narrowed his small eyes in enjoyment, and then nodded his head according to the rhythm of An Yan's patting. He didn't know whether he really understood it or it was just a coincidence.

"There are a few light-type ones, but I treasure them all. How can I carry them with me like Spot?" An Yi felt regretful, but he didn't mean to insist on it.

"Dad, how is the situation in the city?" Zhou Junting stood aside quietly until An Yi and his son made a move before speaking.

"Hundreds of people died, and even more were injured." An Yi's eyes darkened, "I didn't expect that the food and heating supplies were not exhausted yet, but the hemostatic drugs and other medicines were exhausted first."

An Yan was puzzled when he heard this: "Dad , there should be a lot of light, wood, and water power users in the city, right? Aren't there a few of them who can heal?" "Is there

such a thing?" An Yi frowned. Ruo Yanyi was right, The situation is complicated. Either these people with superpowers are hiding it, or they don't even know they have such abilities. It seems that they have to ask them again.

"As I guess, people with powers of all types have appeared. Isn't it normal for people with healing abilities to appear?" An Yanyi said with a natural look on his face, and he was not false at all.

His determination is actually related to Zhou Junting's ability.

Zhou Junting is not a pure wood power user, but he just lost the vitality of the mutant tree to him, and he can barely get along with the treatment. Maybe with more research, he can rely on the treatment, but Zhou Junting's treatment is a bit scary, even if it is really possible Treatment is not a true treatment of a person with superpowers. He is doing so at the expense of absorbing the vitality of other creatures. To be more serious, it is equivalent to exchanging one life for another.

"Okay, I'll ask someone later." At this point, An Yi changed the topic, "It's not safe where you are. When you get back, you will transfer all the farm workers to the city." "

Dad, we'll talk about this later. , you continue." An Yan mumbled.

An Yi is not the only one in the office. Xicheng is in chaos now and there are too many things that need to be solved. How can An Yi be idle? When the five of them came in, everyone was discussing matters in the county magistrate's office. If the spots hadn't been too eye-catching and it was a special period, An Yanyi would have been blocked from the door even if he was An Yi's son.

"Well, you can do it yourself." An Yi continued the previous topic without being polite to his son.

What they are discussing now is not a secret. There is no problem for Yan Yi and a few to observe, and they may be able to make reliable suggestions. Several other county leaders have seen Zhou Junting's ability, and they have no objections. Besides, even if they have, they can't do it now. It was not the right time to object, and the office was once again getting into a heated discussion.

Dong Peng and the other three did not stay. They left the office very wisely and went to the doorman to get close to him.

An Yan glanced at the people in the field, and his eyes fell on a few armed policemen and policemen. They were probably representatives of Xicheng's armed forces. Several of them had good faces, and Captain Xing was even more familiar with them. However, at the moment, there were supernatural beings and mutant creatures. If it appears on a large scale, the gap between government force and civilian force will become smaller in the future. Over time, if the current situation remains, without new blood joining, the latter will even far exceed the former.

Right now, An Yi and others are talking about this matter.

"I propose to organize a brigade of superpowers." Captain Xing was the first to speak.

"Who will lead it?" Police Chief Wu Qing hit the point immediately, and the county magistrate's office fell into silence.

The people present were divided into at least three parties, the government, the police station, and the armed police brigade. The government members were the most complex and were not monolithic. Apart from being generally acceptable, each had their own thoughts. The same goes for the other two parties.

Generally speaking, in terms of force, the armed police brigade is the strongest. There is no doubt about this. In terms of resources, the government is the best. Almost all the resources of Xicheng are concentrated in their hands. However, these are all false. Once the armed police and police station take action, The government's advantage can be wiped out in minutes.

The police station itself is on the government's side, and now that it is raised separately, we can see the subtleties.

After Zhou Junting listened for a moment, he roughly understood the current situation in Xicheng.

The government is too passive, and there are still internal differences. They have the most urgent need for superpowers, but they don't have enough capital to compete.

Now all government affairs in Xicheng still fall on the side of the government, but this is based on the premise that Captain Xing has no independent ideas, otherwise An Yi would not be able to secure his position as county magistrate.

Of course, this is also An Yi's ability, including the factor of Anjia, but mostly it is An Yi himself who allowed Xicheng to form the current tripartite situation. Whether it is relying on personal charm or attracting divisions, Xicheng There was no chaos and An Yi was not pulled down. This is the fact.

Even so, Zhou Junting will not hand over the initiative to others. The existence of the martial arts school will become the foundation for their survival.

No matter how greedy the government is for superpowers, it probably won't be able to win much. At most, it will hire some wood-type, water-type superpowers to look after greenhouse farms.

According to county government statistics, superpowers account for about one-tenth of the total population. Counting those that have not been reported and those that have not yet mutated, one-fifth is enough, and the remaining four-fifths are the targets they can fight for.

"I would like to ask, have you considered the idea of ​​​​people with superpowers?" An Yan broke the silence, "Is it possible that you want to force recruitment?"

Captain Xing and others were stuck for a moment, and it took a while to come back to their senses.

"Give them good treatment, and you won't be afraid that they won't take the bait." Captain Xing immediately changed his plan and planned to use inducements. "Besides, military control is nothing. Now individuals don't have much food in their hands. Many of them rely on government relief. It's really a forced recruitment." We are not afraid of chaos."

This is true. Extraordinary measures must be used in emergency situations, but again, the crux lies in the right to speak. Military control is not good for the other two parties. No, An Yi and Wu Qing No words echoed.

On this point, everyone started to argue and fight for their own interests.

An Yan felt a little sleepy upon hearing this, but Zhou Junting became more energetic the more he listened.

To put it bluntly, this is no different from a shopping mall. In the final analysis, it is just that. Zhou Junting has been exposed to political affairs for a period of time, and he knows everything about it, and he already knows the situation in Xicheng.

After wrangling for a while, the final outcome was as Zhou Junting expected. Most of the people with special abilities belonged to the Armed Police Brigade, and the remaining half was divided equally between the government and the police.

Returning to Anyi's dormitory, An Yan immediately informed An Yi about the energy core and suggested that An Yi send someone to secretly collect the energy core. He wanted the metal, wood, water, fire, earth and light energy cores, which would be of great use to him.

"Energy core? What do you want it for?" An Yi asked without thinking.

"I made up the name randomly. As for the purpose, I'll keep it a secret for now. I'll tell you when the results come out." An Yan said with confidence.

"How do you know more than the nearly ten thousand people in the city?" An Yi looked suspicious.

☆ 29. Chapter 29

Chapter 29

"There are many similar situations in the game, so I tried it, and it turned out to be true." As soon as An Yan took the green bead handed to him by Zhou Junting, this was the wood energy core in his mouth, "Dad, look, This is what I found in the roots of the mutated tree."

"You are not the only one who plays games..." An Yi only said half of what he said, but the meaning was self-evident.

"Make a fortune silently." An Yanyi didn't think he was the only one in the world who could think of this. He said quite bluntly, "Dad, do you have super powers? And mom, why haven't you seen her?"

"I seem to have seen her. My strength has become stronger." An Yi raised his hand, with a smile on his face, "Your mother can see in the dark. She is now in charge of logistics and finance, and the account books are all in her place. She is busy."

Although she is not a natural superpower, The physical mutation is not bad, at least it has more self-protection ability than ordinary people.

"Dad, you and mom, don't forget to practice martial arts." An Yan reminded.

"I was just about to tell you this. It's better to learn to fight than to practice martial arts. I'm afraid the martial arts school won't last long." An Yi was a little regretful. It was rare for his younger son to be willing to take up the job, so something changed. "I'll practice with your mother." We have been practicing for more than half a month and haven't seen anything. We are okay, just treat it as a hobby and do a set of boxing exercises every day to exercise our hands and feet. In such an environment, other people can't help but be a little eager for quick success."

At this point, An Yan After a moment of pause, he continued: "Besides, the tuition you offer is not low. One class takes half a day's work. Just this morning, I have received many withdrawal applications. Except for the Armed Police Brigade, there has been no movement. , there are nearly two hundred students, and dozens of them have made it clear that they will not come in the future. Others are probably still waiting and watching. When classes start next week, I don't know how many people will be there." "It's

okay, I'll just do it for the first batch. Screening." An Yanyi looked unconcerned. He took out the prepared demonstration tool, a pebble, from his pocket, and held it in his hand in front of An Yi. When he unfolded it again, it turned into a pile of powder puffs and fell on the coffee table. , An Yi's eyes widened when he saw it.

"Okay! If you have this ability, it won't be a problem for the martial arts school to continue running." An Yi frowned with joy, then thought of what his youngest son had vaguely said just now, and asked, "I heard what you mean, are you not going to move to the city?" Where?"

"Yeah."

"You..."

"Dad, don't ask me yet, I will tell you when it's done."

An Yi looked at his youngest son carefully and saw that he really didn't want to say more, so he didn't pursue the matter further. Bottom: "That's it, just make sure you know what's going on. If you run into trouble, just go to the city. I'm very busy recently and have to go see the situation in the greenhouse, so I won't accompany you. You and Junting are free."

"Dad, you're busy." Just keep it for yourself, don't worry about us." An Yanyi would not be polite to his father, so he took a bottle of drink and handed it to Zhou Junting, and he opened a bottle himself and poured it into his mouth.

"This brat is really..." An Yi muttered in his mouth and went out. Nowadays, supplies are tight and drinks have become luxuries. The younger son obviously has a lot of reserves and prefers to come to his place to enjoy the autumn breeze. However, he does not take it seriously. The younger son brings more things and drinks him a few bottles. Drinks are really nothing.

"Why don't I feel a bit of the tension that should be present in the apocalypse?" An Yanyi sighed while drinking.

"We have food and drink, even the most troublesome light source has been solved, and we have other trump cards in hand. If we live in fear all day long, then no one else will have to live." Zhou Junting glanced at An Yan one by one. Eyes, "The situation in Xicheng is relatively good, and supplies are also quite tight. If you go to the community more often, you should be able to feel something." "

Yes." An Yan said with approval on his face, and thought in his mind that he would wait until the farm is completely Falling into the category of mobile homes really eliminates the idea of ​​having to worry about anything.

The two were chatting casually, but An Yi returned not long after leaving and said breathlessly: "Yan Yi, someone from Zhangshu Village came to ask for help. That village is very close to the farm. Do you want to come with him?"

"Okay. " ." An Yanyi didn't delay, immediately dressed up, took Zhou Junting and two leopard-print tortoises out, met Dong Peng and the other two at the guard, and then set off with an armed police team.

Team leader Huang Qian explained the situation to An Yan and others while riding his bike.

As you can tell from the name of Zhangshu Village, camphor trees are indispensable in the village. This is also true. In the center of the village, there is a camphor tree with several people hugging each other. At this moment, the area around this camphor tree has become a dead end, and the camphor tree is still expanding outwards, with roots There is a tendency to cover the entire village. Otherwise, a tree that cannot move, even if it mutates, will not be able to affect the lives within its coverage. The villagers of Zhangshu Village do not need to be so nervous.

An Yi had no choice but to call An Yanyi. There is a severe shortage of police force now, and armed police are everywhere to rescue. Although superpowers are powerful, they have a limit. Once the superpowers are used up, it will take a long time to recover on their own. It is okay to be used as a killer, but as a routine The force is not up to the requirements for the time being. It would be good if the armed police can separate into a small team.

In the past, An Yi would never let An Yanyi participate in such a dangerous task. The situation is different now. The flowers in the greenhouse wither too easily, but the mutated trees cannot move. At most, An Yi cannot deal with them and stay away. Yi felt relieved, even so, before An Yanyi and Zhou Junting went out, he also warned them several times to be careful and not to make too much mistakes.

With the villagers of Zhangshu Village leading the way, dangerous mutant plants were easily avoided, and no mutant animals were encountered on the road. The group entered Zhangshu Village without any hindrance.

After arriving at the scene, the expressions of the villagers who reported the news changed. Just over an hour had passed, and the territory of the mutant camphor tree had expanded by at least two meters. If this rate continues, I am afraid that within a few days, the entire Zhangshu Village will become the territory of the mutant camphor tree. .

Everyone looked at the ground that was turning up from time to time, as well as the buildings that were swaying here and there, and even collapsed, and a chill rushed to their foreheads.

Of course, they were not frightened by these, but by the few human bodies hanging on the branches with only a thin layer left. The scene was really shocking.

"Have you used fire attacks?" Huang Qian asked, motioning for everyone to move back and stay away from the attack range of the mutated camphor tree.

"It was used, and the gasoline was put on it, and it was put out quickly."

"Where's the fire power?"

"It works a little, but it won't have much impact. The mutated camphor tree can secrete a layer of fire-resistant sap, and the fire power will burn it down." If you lose a layer of skin, you won't be able to burn it anymore."

The most people in Xicheng are ice system users, followed by dark system users. For other superpowers, the number of fire system users is quite low. Xicheng has listed it as a rare superpower, and Zhangshu Village is lucky to have it. Unexpectedly, even fire superpower users can't use this mutated camphor tree. Things are a bit tricky.

"Is there a way to control any outer branch?" An Yan asked.

"We have tried this, and this mutated camphor tree is particularly smart. It does not extend its branches and roots to the outermost edge, at least it never does so when there are many people." A villager immediately explained, "It shrinks its branches to the inner circle. We can't reach it with tools such as hoes. Once we go inside, we will attack in groups. At least dozens of branches can attack the intruder at the same time."

In this way, An Yanyi's previous method of dealing with mutated trees was eliminated. , unable to nibble away bit by bit, it is indeed difficult to solve. Alas, it's a pity. If the power user has enough battery life but not the fire system, and cooperates with the water and ice system, and has the help of other power users, he may not be able to deal with this mutated camphor tree, but things are so embarrassing.

Huang Qian pondered for a moment and said: "Try it, if it doesn't work, think of another way." The

armed police team immediately took action, but the result was not good. This mutated camphor tree seemed to be particularly well-prepared for its nemesis, the flame, and the trunk caught fire. It was instantly doused by a stream of green juice, leaving nothing but a black mark on the outside.

However, this angered it, and its aerial roots like a banyan tree bared its teeth and claws in protest at the crowd, but it did not go overboard.

What a tough guy to deal with. How come this tree looks smarter than a human?

Everyone was helpless. Huang Qian tried other weapons he brought, but the effect was not as good as the other weapons. He didn't bring more powerful weapons. Now these are used less and less. If he wants them, he has to apply to the superior department. It's troublesome. .

"Are there any people with metal powers? If so, I have a way." An Yanyi can't release his energy for the time being, but he can do it with the help of weapons.

"Yes, yes, I'll call someone right away." One of the villagers who was watching hurriedly ran out, and after a while he brought over a very strong middle-aged woman in her thirties, pointed at An Yan and said to her, "Acai, this little brother is looking for you."

Yinshuang was naturally not suitable for transformation. An Yanyi took a few iron rods from the tricycle and estimated them. It seemed that there were not enough, so he asked the villagers to add some, and called this man A Cai's woman said: "Mold these together and make them solid and stick-shaped, with a slight edge on the upper half of one side."

Feng Cai did as he was told, and after several attempts, he finally made the stick blade according to An Yanyi's requirements.

An Yan tried it out once he got started, and it was enough if he could dance.

The villagers looked disappointed when they saw this. It's not that they have never tried similar methods, but they have failed to work. As soon as the long bamboo pole approached the mutated camphor tree, it was immediately broken into pieces by the branches. Even the steel bars used for building houses could only be used for a long time. After a while, the final result is no different from a bamboo pole.

An Yanyi didn't know what the villagers were thinking. He acted directly according to his plan. He took a few steps forward and stood at the edge of the mutant camphor tree's attack range. He could touch it, but only the roots of the longest branches could reach it.

Well, this position was good. An Yanyi was very satisfied with it. Then he waved the stick blade in the posture of using a penis. As expected, the mutant camphor tree branches immediately wrapped around the stick blade, and some even reached An Yanyi along the stick blade. before.

What An Yan wanted was this result, so he asked Dong Peng and others to hold down the stick, free up one hand to strike out like lightning, grab the branch closest to him, and shouted back: "Jun Ting, look at you below. Zhou

Junting immediately stepped forward and put his hand on the struggling branch: "I can't control it well, are you okay?"

"It's okay." An Yanyi replied firmly.

Zhou Junting took a deep breath and decided to trust An Yanyi. He immediately put aside distracting thoughts and began to use his abilities without any distractions. In an instant, a steady stream of life force flowed into Zhou Junting's body from the branches.

Zhou Junting already knew that absorbing too much life force was not always a good thing. Therefore, he took away the life force of the mutated camphor tree and released it at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the branch in his hand became dry, and then spread to the tree body and the roots of other branches.

The mutated camphor tree did not sit still and waited for death. It immediately cut off its limbs to survive. Zhou Junting touched his hand lightly and came to his senses, only to find that the withered branches had separated from the tree body.

☆ 30. Chapter 30

Chapter 30

It was just too late. At this time, less than half of the mutated camphor tree's body showed a gray color. Just like ordinary trees, the branches and roots that had been sucked out of life naturally drooped and stretched, no longer moving.

Taking advantage of the fact that his illness was killing him, An Yan immediately withdrew the stick blade and swung it to retrieve the branches that had lost their vitality.

The mutated camphor tree tried its best to prevent its branches from falling into the enemy's hands again, but it was helpless that it was not a gecko and had not mastered the skill of regenerating severed limbs. The speed of cutting off the roots of dead branches could not match the speed of An Yanyi and Zhou Junting's ability to absorb the vitality. It was a drop in the bucket. Next, finally following in the footsteps of the previous mutated tree, the whole tree was like a dried tree, with no trace of its previous ferocious appearance. There were only dry branches that had fallen off on their own, and the branches that were still hanging on the ground. The victims on the branches tell the story of something abnormal here.

Everyone onlookers opened their mouths in surprise, with ecstasy in their eyes and a hint of taboo about Zhou Junting's abilities.

When An Yan turned around, he saw such a scene, and his original joy was gone.

Even so, An Yanyi didn't want to ask Zhou Junting to restrain his ability. There was no need. Since he accepted Zhou Junting, he had to tolerate everything about him, no matter good or bad. This kind of thing has nothing to do with Zhou Junting. In person, it was just his ability that made people fearful, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

An Yan pointed at the mutated camphor tree and glanced at Zhou Junting. Zhou Junting nodded and said no problem. An Yan said to the head of Zhangshu Village: "I want a piece of tree trunk." "

Little brother, you can take whatever you want." Don't worry about the village. What attitude does the leader have towards Zhou Junting? It is a fact that the mutant camphor tree has been eliminated. He is really happy. When An Yan made such a small request, he immediately agreed with a smile on his face and even thought about giving the entire mutant camphor tree to them. As a thank you gift.

An Yanyi was a drunkard and was not interested in drinking, so naturally he would not drag such a large mutated camphor tree home. It would be more appropriate to leave these matters to Huang Qian, the captain of the armed police squad, to negotiate. He followed Zhou Junting to the roots of the mutated camphor tree. .

"Can you feel it?" An Yan asked quietly.

"Yeah." Zhou Junting put his hand on the tree trunk, felt it carefully, and then gave an approximate location.

An Yan immediately waved Yinshuang to chop, and everyone was once again shocked. In just a few minutes, the mutated camphor tree hugged by several people was broken into two parts. After a similar amount of time, a small section of the trunk was freshly baked in front of everyone.

The trunk was too big and was inconvenient to hold. An Yan cut off all the surrounding areas, leaving only the center piece. He weighed it in his hand and felt that any adult could handle it, so he stopped.

"Captain Huang, please tell my father that you are safe when you return to the city." As soon as An Yan put the tree trunk on the tricycle, he stopped lingering, said goodbye to everyone, and immediately set off back to the farm.

Naturally, Huang Qian would not refuse such a trivial matter. He first went around to the county government building, then returned to the armed police station and reported the truth to the authorities about Zhangshu Village and his party.

After everyone went out, Captain Xing looked thoughtful and then smiled. This is not bad. There are people behind County Magistrate An, so Xicheng will not be in chaos. He has a lot of force in his hands. Unfortunately, he is not As for handling internal affairs, it would be okay for him to be in charge of the armed police force. If he was the leader of Xicheng, then forget it.

If you want to manage Xicheng well, you must appoint relevant personnel. Even if you don't directly call on government officials and recruit talents on your own, it is just changing the soup without changing the medicine. Maybe he leads his subordinates to work hard on the outside, but inside they are in a mess, and what they have earned It's all going into the pockets of these people. Instead of doing this, it is better to maintain the status quo. It will save him trouble and County Magistrate An will also save worry.

Xingyuan City.

"Xiao Han, what should I do?" Zhang Nan got used to it by shivering. No matter how scared she was, at least she wasn't so panicked that she couldn't speak clearly.

"Wait." Xiao Han didn't think he had the ability to overwhelm the rats. He could only wait for the rat tide to pass and see if he could move to another place or stick to this place.

After the two people chatted quietly, the room quickly became quiet. It was not appropriate to say anything more at this moment, lest they be noticed by the rats outside and cause unnecessary disaster.

"Ouch!"

When the three of them were silent, a long howl like a wolf's howl suddenly came from upstairs. The rats staying in this building suddenly became restless. Thinking of the previous experience of fetching snow, the three of them knew that this should be It was the dog on the fourth floor who was facing off against the rats.

Xiao Han originally wanted to wait for the mutated pet in Room 401 to break out of the door before dealing with it, but he didn't expect that his move would come in handy at this time. This would also allow him to easily judge the damage done by both parties afterwards. force.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is enough to win a hundred battles. Although Xiao Han has the information provided by the pocket sword, it cannot be used as evidence. The difference is a thousand miles away. If he regards the memory of his ancestors as a treasure and acts based on it, he will miss it one day.

For example, when choosing the place of Xingyuan City, Xiao Han referred to the experiences of his ancestors. This place was indeed suitable for life. The dark sky was driven away by the light, and the long-lost sunshine made everyone ecstatic, even Xiao Han was no exception.

It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. No matter how well he planned, something unexpected would happen. He didn't expect to encounter a rat tide so soon. I'm afraid not many people in this community would survive, and they were trapped here because of this.

The restlessness outside did not last long. After about ten minutes, the howling of the pet dogs gradually faded away, and the rats gradually subsided.

Xiao Han clung to the wall and could only hear faint sounds. It seemed that the rats should have won a great victory in this battle, but the losses of the rats were not small. At least the number of rats in their unit was significantly reduced.

Zhang Nan, who had been very nervous, regained a trace of color on his face. This was good. When the rat swarm passed, they only had to deal with a few mutated rats, which greatly increased their safety.

Will the rat tide recede? Zhang Nan was not sure and simply gave up thinking, otherwise he would only scare himself.

Xiao Han and the others just waited with bated breath until the noise outside almost stopped. Then they cautiously approached the window and opened a corner of the curtain to take a look.

Looking out the window of the master bedroom, one can see the green belt of the community and the two buildings next to it. They are a bit far apart and cannot be seen clearly, but there are several places that are covered in scarlet color, even on the road to the community. If there is no window across the , I'm afraid the smell of blood is coming to my nose.

It is conceivable that originally this place was full of blood and flesh. As for why there were only stains of blood left, the three of them knew it well, but they just controlled themselves not to think about it deeply.

Xiao Han had seen similar situations more than once in his dreams, but he still couldn't keep his face straight, let alone Zhang Nan and Director Ji. It would be good if they didn't spit it out.

But even if they were really nauseous at this time, no one would dare to vomit. Although the large army of rats has passed, who knows how many mutant rats are still in the community? A slightly louder noise may attract rats, but anyone with good sense will try to avoid these.

"It's a bit hot, how about you?" I didn't feel nervous before, but now that I was relaxed, Zhang Nan couldn't put on his coat anymore, so he took it off and threw it on the bed.

The same goes for the other two, who are just a little better than Zhang Nan. Xiao Han and Director Ji looked at each other.

This is not good news. The temperature is rising too quickly, which may not be good for them. Before, without turning on the heater, lighting the brazier couldn't stop the cold, and they had to move their hands and feet from time to time. Later, they adapted and it became better, but they still wouldn't feel hot without lighting a fire.

The sun has only been out for a few hours, and the temperature is close to normal. This may be another disaster for humans.

None of the three people dared to move rashly. They just stayed in the room, drinking water when they were thirsty and eating cooked food when they were hungry. They spent the day like this.

Settle into your old home.

After returning home, An Yan carried the piece of tree heart to the backyard. He used Yinshuang's hands without using the axe, and directly chopped the tree with his long sword. As expected, he got another wood energy core.

This one is slightly different from the previous one. Not only is it slightly larger than the previous one, it is also purer. It is completely green and does not contain a trace of color. For Zhou Junting, the effect is not as good as the previous one.

An Yan thought for a moment and decided to give this wood energy core to Zhang Xing, a wood type superpower.

When Dong Peng and the other four superpowers saw this, their eyes suddenly lit up. If Zhang Xing can benefit from it, how can the four of them, Zhou Junting's direct relatives, get any less? With this understanding, several people are more motivated.

Zhou Junting witnessed all this. While he was happy for An Yanyi, he also felt a little disapproval, but he did not show anything strange. The two of them have different personalities and different ways of handling problems. They don't have to get closer to each other and check for each other. It's what they should do each to check for leaks and fill in the gaps. He will then work out a set of rewards and punishments.

Zhang Xing heard that energy cores can help improve super powers. He held the wood energy cores in his hands as if he were holding treasures. He grinned all the way back to the dormitory building with a silly smile, attracting the attention of many people. Fortunately, he was still there. Remember that the energy core cannot be exposed for the time being, otherwise you will definitely have to ask others for it.

This is a decision made by An Yanyi and Zhou Junting after discussion. Regarding the energy core, it is currently only circulated among the people with powers on their own side. If no one mentions it after a while, An Yi will reveal it.

After breakfast the next day, An Yan took Zhou Junting and two leopard tortoises to the farm.

Zhou Junting was surprised and asked directly: "What's different about the farm?"

"You'll know when you go and see it." An Yanyi looked mysterious.

Zhou Junting knew clearly in his heart, presumably the farm business was completed yesterday, and today An Yanyi wanted to offer him a treasure, or show off? What kind of situation it was, he had no way of knowing. He could only make a judgment after entering the farm.

"Hey!"

As soon as he stepped into the farm, Zhou Junting felt the temperature difference. He was now one foot inside the farm and one foot outside the farm. It was like he was in two worlds, one as warm as spring and the other as ice and snow.

"Spot, make it brighter." Zhou Junting patted Spot's little head to indicate.

Spot was already used to this kind of instructions. He didn't even need time to react and just followed Zhou Junting's request.

An Yan and his party could only clearly see a small area nearby. After turning up the brightness, they could see everything within a few dozen meters.

Wherever Zhou Junting could see, most of the snow had melted away, leaving only a thin layer, and it was estimated that it would disappear soon
