The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

Chapter 141 Grocery shopping and the lost crystal nucleus

Li Tie and the others are also helping to collect vegetables. Now most of the vegetables in the rooms and corridors are ripe. They planted more vegetables this time. Even if everyone eats like crazy these days, they can’t eat too much. The rest Some of the vegetables were pickled, and some of the rest were temporarily left in the planting pen and were not picked immediately. Some of them were preparing to bloom and set seeds. As a result, the information was communicated today, and even these slightly old vegetables were anxiously picked. It's time to buy...and their bids have doubled compared to before the snowfall!

Sure enough, once the weather is bad, will the price of vegetables increase?

After the vegetable basket was full, everything was packed into the box except for the ones left for making seeds and what everyone wanted to eat. Luo Xun was about to go out with Yan Fei to deliver something when his cell phone rang again—— "Ah, it's the phone number from the cafeteria." Luo Xun looked up at Yan Fei with some amusement.

Yan Fei shrugged and let him handle it.

Sure enough, Captain Li also said that he wanted to buy food. In fact, Luo Xun and the others still have some stock in the refrigerator, which everyone is going to eat slowly—although it is certain that they will not be able to eat all of them for a while, but the problem is—how can they get along with those teams? Compared with taking the initiative to pick up goods nearby, the distance from the barracks canteen is too far.

Luo Xun had no choice but to say: "There are some vegetables at home, but there is no way to go outside, we can't deliver them."

The teams I contacted before all said that they would come to pick up the goods in person, but Luo Xun didn't tell them the exact location of his home, but booked them at the intersection of a nearby community and let them bring the crystal core to pick up the goods. As for the cafeteria... he Sorry to say they are temporarily unable to provide home delivery service.

Now even if Luo Xun and the others went to that intersection, it was still stamped out by the footprints of the nearby residents these days.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the other party was silent for a while, saying that they would contact them again after a while.

Yan Fei controlled a bunch of metal boxes to "float" downstairs and put them on a metal board, and the two of them walked to a certain place to meet the people who picked up the goods from the supernatural team, taking the big board with vegetables.

Should it be said that it is a supernatural team?Anyway, there is no normal person who comes to pick up the goods.

Two of the teams sent out wind-type superpowers, who floated over the snow all the way. Although they still couldn't really fly, it was no problem to float on the snow like that mad sheep.The team that arrived at the end actually drove a sled—they didn't drive a low-grade product modified by Luo Xun and the others, but they rode a real, real sled!The speed is slow when driving, but it is a pity that this kind of sled cannot drive fast in urban areas full of debris and buildings, otherwise it may bump into something accidentally.

After the transaction was completed, the two turned around and walked back to their own community step by step on the snow. Before they saw the gate of the community, Luo Xun's phone rang again.

I took it out and saw that it was Captain Li calling again.

"Where do you live? We have a car here to pick up the food."

Should it really be worthy of the military?If you say send a car, you can send a car.

Luo Xun pondered for a while, and also set the delivery location at the place where he had just traded with those supernatural beings, and then Captain Li said that they would send someone there immediately.

So Luo Xun had no choice but to make a phone call to the mobile phones of the people left behind at home, and asked Xu Mei and the others to help pack some vegetables that were temporarily stored in the refrigerator and that everyone couldn't eat for a while.

After Luo Xun and the two of them dragged another box of vegetables to the place they left before, they were stunned to find... there was a land tank parked here, is there any reason? !

Well, they know that land combat vehicles can move freely on all kinds of weird terrain, but you are just taking food, do you have to use such a brutal vehicle? !Is this vegetable enough for your car's fuel money? !

Looking around, they confirmed that there were indeed no other "cars" nearby, so the two had no choice but to inquire, and found out that... Captain Li actually asked to buy this car!vegetable!of!car! !

With the crystal core in one hand and the vegetables in the other, Luo Xun finally couldn't hold back and asked, "You guys just drive this...car to buy vegetables?"

A soldier holding an automatic rifle twisted his expression twice, showed an awkward smile, and said to Luo Xun in a low voice: "Our leader...cough cough, the leader wants to eat." After speaking, he quickly climbed back into the car.

Well, if the boss wants to eat vegetables, these little soldiers have to drive out to buy vegetables in a land combat vehicle. It is not easy for these soldiers.

The couple took their own shrunken metal boards and stepped on them step by step, and distributed the crystal cores after the two transactions to everyone according to the previously agreed distribution ratio, and put the rest into the team's public income.

Li Tie and the others have also received a message from their leader this time, saying that the leader told them to go back to work.But the road outside has not yet opened, so Li Tie and the others had no choice but to reply to a message expressing that the road condition was a problem, and they are still communicating with their leaders until now.

Seeing Luo Xun and the others come back, several people hurriedly greeted them: "Brother Luo, we first said that there is no way to clear the road near us in a short time."

"Then what about your work?" Luo Xun asked with raised eyebrows.

Several people looked at each other with sad faces: "We are still waiting for the news from the leader... But judging from what they mean, we still need to find a way to overcome it..."

Just as they were talking, the message came again, and the other party really said that they should try their best to find a solution, and they would report to the military camp the day after tomorrow at the latest.

Staring at this message, Wang Duo nervously confirmed to everyone: "You said... do they mean that if we don't report again, we will find someone to replace us?!"

Li Tie and the others stared wide-eyed, feeling more and more ominous in their hearts.Luo Xun, Yan Fei, and Xu Mei looked at them with sympathy in their eyes.

Zhang Su sneered: "Isn't this nonsense? It's obvious." Isn't there no one in the army?Although Li Tie and the others are already skilled workers, it would be a pity to give up now, but if there are subordinates who live closer and are more obedient, it is quite normal for their leaders to consider replacing them.

"But...but..." Li Tie's face turned green. They have been doing this job for more than a year, and they are really unwilling to let them give up now.And although it's a bit hard to get up early and stay late every day, they have also developed feelings after doing it for a long time.What's more, their work is actually not too tiring. Finding a stable mental job in the base is simply a luxury among luxuries, and they really don't want to give up.

"Maybe you can give it a try." Luo Xun suddenly thought of something, and pointed outside, "When we were selling vegetables just now, a land tank came from the military..."

"what?!"

"Driving a landing vehicle to sell vegetables?!"

Sure enough, everyone was stunned by the news.

Luo Xun coughed twice and said solemnly: "What kind of vehicle they drive here is not the issue we are going to discuss now, what I want to say is - the land tank vehicle is heavy! It came directly from the barracks. If you follow the It is estimated that the route it drove over will be much easier to walk than other places, right? But it is also easier to walk than other places.”

Li Tie and the others changed their expressions for a while, then gritted their teeth and sent a message to their leader, saying that they would try to go there tomorrow.

Seeing that Li Tie and the others were busy contacting their own leaders, Xu Mei whispered to Luo Xun and the other two: "Today we heard that someone in the corridor asked around if they had smelled meat a few days ago."

"Fragrant meat?" Luo Xun suddenly remembered that everyone had eaten boiled mutton before, and immediately raised his vigilance, "What's the situation?"

Xu Mei pursed her lips and sneered: "They said they were worried that someone would eat human flesh secretly at home, and they wanted to encourage everyone to go door by door and check."

"Inspection?" Luo Xun laughed, "Just because I smelled someone eating human flesh, I suspect that someone is eating human flesh, so I have to conduct inspections from house to house?" Is the reason so far-fetched?

After Song Lingling heard what the two said, she hurriedly came over: "Isn't it? The talk is still in full swing, but only people talk about it, no one really dares to organize people to investigate, and some people say that it smells like boiled mutton." But others don’t believe that there is no mutton these days. If someone eats meat at home, it must be human flesh. After hearing this, sister Xu and I didn’t talk to them at all. Really organize people to check things like this door to door?"

Yan Fei couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Don't say it, if they can find someone to support them, they might really dare to do this. Unfortunately, the forces that can serve as waists are basically in Xincheng." No matter who What exactly is "meat"? Once these people have doubts, they may take the opportunity to make trouble. Anyway, the barefoot and those who are not afraid of wearing shoes are searching other people's homes. They have nothing to lose, and they may get Benefits, why not do it?

"Plus it's snowing heavily and the roads are impassable." Xu Mei also shook her head and sighed, "Don't say, they can use this trick in normal times. They use this as an excuse to search from house to house, taking advantage of the fact that there are few people in other people's homes. Maybe it can be cheaper..."

"However, having said that, we just ate a boiled mutton... Their noses are too good, right?" Song Lingling complained with some displeasure.

Luo Xun thought about it for a while: "It should be about the day when the snow stopped. There was no strong wind that day, so some smell might have spread."

"So we have to depend on the weather if we want to eat meat in the future?? Which day is it windy?" Song Lingling stared with some displeasure.

Luo Xun helplessly spread his hands: "It's okay to have a good meal once in a while, and our floor is high, generally speaking, the smell will not spread to the bottom..." So he was very nervous about the problem of people living on the roof .Thinking of this, Luo Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to Zhang Su who was yawning with his legs up, "In the future, when we eat food with a strong aroma, wouldn't it be over if we let Zhang Su act as an exhaust fan while cooking?" Using the wind ability to blow the fragrance out of the sky, he didn't believe that anyone could follow the fragrance to find it!

Zhang Su gave him a pair of big white eyes.

In the evening, Luo Xun and the others waved goodbye to everyone and returned to their home. The little guy followed them into the room and climbed onto the sofa wagging his tail.Luo Xun suddenly remembered something, glanced around the little guy's kennel, and suddenly froze: "Oh? Where's the crystal nucleus?"

"What crystal nuclei?" Yan Fei subconsciously put his eyes on the metal boxes where the crystal nuclei are usually stored - these metal boxes are completely sealed, and all the crystal nuclei stored by the two of them are stored inside - Luo Xun is not Supernatural beings, the two of them usually don't spend much, so they put all the crystal cores in it, no matter when Yan Fei needs to use crystal cores to level up, or when Luo Xun needs crystal cores to buy things. Take it here.

"It's not those, it's the crystal nucleus of the duck from last time! The one used as a pillow for the little guy!" Luo Xun bent down and searched carefully behind the sofa.

"That? Wasn't it put in the kennel before?" Yan Fei also followed Luo Xun to rummage through the boxes.

Such a big thing, how can you say it's gone?They clearly remembered seeing the little guy put that thing under his chin as a pillow...

"Wait, when was the last time you saw that thing?" Maybe the thing had been left as a decoration at home before, and the two of them suddenly disappeared after looking at it for too long, so they didn't pay attention for a while.After hearing Luo Xun's words, even Yan Fei said...he couldn't remember the exact time.

"...It seems to me that I have seen it not long ago."

"Did it roll under something as a little guy?" Luo Xun scratched his hair, even if someone wanted to steal that thing... it would be inconvenient to take it away! !

The two simply lay down on the floor and used their flashlights to scan all the gaps where things might be hidden. It didn't take long for the two of them to sweep out a lot of dog hair from under the sofa, dog hair and a slipper under the shelf... okay Well, the little guy is already being polite. After all, they have found so many slippers from the ground before, and they have only found this one since then.

The two first searched from the living room on the first floor, without any results at all, then the nursery room, kitchen, bathroom, and storage room under the stairs. Finally, the couple simply ran to the second floor, completely cracking all the corners and cracks in the house. Cleaning up, finding a lot of dust, dog hair, and gadgets that rolled into the crevices at some point, but there is still no trace of the huge crystal nucleus...

"So, where did you get that thing?" Luo Xun felt that his back was sore, and now he was completely relaxed on the sofa, holding the dog's head that was rubbing against it with both hands and kneading it into a strange shape. "Forced" asked brat.

It's a pity that their dog can't speak human language, and can't understand advanced questions, so they just stare at each other with Luo Xun's big eyes and small eyes, with an innocent look on his face.

Yan Fei also raised his hand and flicked the dog's head: "Is it eaten by it?"

"It's so big... how do you eat it? Is the lick gone? It's not ice cream." Luo Xun looked up at Yan Fei with a distorted expression, and suddenly frowned and pondered, "You said... the crystal nucleus was licked, right? Can it really get smaller and smaller?"

Yan Fei's hands stopped, and his expression became a little subtle: "Have you ever seen a situation where the crystal nucleus can be washed away with water?" He really thinks that the crystal nucleus is ice cream? ?

When they collect the crystal nucleus now, they will let Song Lingling wash it with water-type abilities before they dare to touch it with their hands, for fear that there may be zombie virus on it... Well, even if the crystal nucleus in the duck's head does not have zombie virus, this thing How can I use "licking" to absorb it?

"...Maybe the dog's saliva...is different from ordinary water?" Luo Xun developed a new idea with uncertainty.

Saliva is indeed different from ordinary water, and the ingredients contained in it must be different.But the problem is that I haven't heard of anyone who can "eat the crystal nucleus" and still live well... However, maybe the crystal nucleus of mutant animals is different from the crystal nucleus of normal zombies?

The two looked at each other and then looked at the little guy again. The little guy suddenly shook his ears vigilantly, stood up instinctively on his hind legs and wanted to back away.

Yan Fei fetched a first-level transparent crystal nucleus, Luo Xun pried open the dog's mouth directly, and dipped a little dog's saliva with a small towel... Well, it's okay to be licked by the dog's tongue, although it is unhygienic, but because it is his own Having a dog is not disgusting.But now I want to use dog saliva to do the experiment, and I still feel a little awkward.After being touched by the towel, the little guy ran to hide behind the quail box vigilantly, shaking his head and tucking his tail, and then quietly stretched out half of his dog's head to peek at the movements of the two owners, for fear that they would lick his mouth again. Rise something weird.

The two wrapped the crystal nucleus with a wet towel, and then wrapped the towel with two plastic bags... Well, this is because they are afraid of water loss, but they don't know what will happen when they open this thing tomorrow morning chemical reaction.

After finishing all this, Luo Xun ran to the quail box again and held up the dog's head: "Did you really eat that thing? Or was it taken away? If it was eaten by you, shouldn't you also have supernatural powers?" gone?"

Shagou still tilted his head at Luo Xun with a foolish look.

"Sometimes I really feel like I'm raising a husky instead of a smart black back..." Luo Xun turned his head and complained to Yan Fei.

Yan Fei laughed: "No matter how smart it is, it can't understand everything you say, and do you think it can answer the questions you ask?"

"But where did that big crystal nucleus go?" Luo Xun frowned and looked around the room again. They searched all the places they could find in the house!Even the inside of the quail box has been checked-there is no horse! ! "Isn't it really stolen?"

Yan Fei frowned and looked towards the direction of the window - outside was blocked by a pile of iron railings, the inside glass was intact, and the walls of the house were not damaged at all.

To be honest, if this is really a foreign thief... unless the thief has the ability to penetrate walls, who else can steal it?

But if it's an inside thief...the two of them have never given the key to their own room to anyone else.The members of the team were also very kind and never offered to come to the two people's homes as guests, and they would only come after the invitation of Luo Xun and the other two.And the thing is so big, if they really took it, where would they hide it?I can't hide it at all, okay? !

"Do you think if it is stolen... who can steal it?" It's not that Yan Fei trusts the team members too much, but that even if someone steals this thing... there is no place to sell it!I have never heard of anyone with that kind of ability in the whole base. Although this thing looks quite arrogant, it is a tasteless thing at all!It just sits there and looks good.

Luo Xun also had a bitter face and lowered his head helplessly, and continued to rub the dog's head: "So it was lost by you, right? Tell me, did you eat it!"

The silly dog ​​still looks stupid, allowing his unscrupulous master to knead his dog's face into various shapes. Now it has forgotten the matter of Luo Xun stuffing cloth into his mouth, and is still foolishly making do with it, thinking that He's kidding himself...

After the couple abused their stupid dog's big face, they happily went upstairs to sleep hand in hand.

In the early morning of the next day, the two people who were still thinking about this matter went downstairs and first ran to the place where the towels were placed yesterday, took it out, opened it, and checked the crystal nucleus...

"I don't think the size has changed at all." Luo Xun took the crystal nucleus that had been cleaned again and inspected it carefully before expressing his opinion.

Yan Fei nodded in agreement: "I weighed it yesterday, let's weigh it again." As he spoke, he brought a small scale at home—this thing doesn't need to change the battery, and it's durable, and weighing small things is generally not a big problem.

The two weighed it, and found that it was the same as yesterday, without the slightest difference.

The two looked at each other, at the crystal nucleus, and then at the little guy who was looking up at the two of them with a puzzled face.

"You said... If that thing was really 'eaten' by the little guy, then does it... already have supernatural powers?" Luo Xun asked hesitantly.

"I can't tell, but if the disappearance of that thing is really related to it." After all, after the crystal nucleus was brought back, the little guy almost kept holding that thing when he was at home, except for eating and taking it out during the day Outside of playing with Xiao Xinran, he almost never let go of it. If it was taken away by someone, it would be the first to agree, so it is not certain that it was really taken away by it.

Luo Xun frowned and squatted in front of the little guy, holding his dog's face again: "But... the mutant animals I've seen and heard of all have strange shapes, it... it shouldn't be a mutant yet. Right?" But it doesn't have such a big crystal nucleus, is this thing really not mutated?

Yan Fei also fell silent. Unlike Luo Xun, he knew so much accurate information about the "future", but the appearance of the only mutated animal they had seen after the end of the world... was already weird to a certain extent.He wouldn't be surprised at all if the little guy would increase in size after mutating, but he would be a little surprised if it kept like this all the time.

"Maybe... some mutated animals don't change in shape?" Yan Fei asked tentatively.

"I don't know either... Eh? Do you remember? When we came back several nights ago, its eyes were glowing like light bulbs!" Luo Xun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly raised his head to ask Yan Fei for confirmation.

"You mean..." Yan Fei also vaguely remembered the situation when he came back late last night.
