the beginning of the end

After the team of more than sixty people left the village, everyone was a bit apprehensive about everything that was unfamiliar outside. Therefore, apart from the slight sound of footsteps along the way, and the occasional sound of the breeze blowing leaves, no one spoke. , kept quiet.

Shen Xi, Mu Qiangguo and the others walked in the middle of the team and looked around at the lush weeds and thick trees. They didn't find any mutated animals around. Except for the endless trees and wild grasses, there was nothing. It was so quiet.

Everyone looked a few meters ahead and saw an ordinary camphor tree rooted in the soil. Seeing the thick trunk that at least five people couldn't hold it, many people were amazed.

"Could it be that this tree has taken a growth agent, and it grew too exaggeratedly in just one night." Standing behind Mo Cheng, Shen Zhi muttered in a low voice.

When Mo Cheng heard Shen Zhi's words, he looked away from the camphor tree and looked at him, the amazement in his eyes also flashed.

Shaking his head at Shen Zhi, Mo Cheng said that he didn't know how to answer the situation in front of him.

Seeing that Mo Cheng didn't intend to speak, Shen Zhi shut his mouth, obediently walked behind him, and continued to follow the team.

The end of the world has happened, what else can you not accept, the more you go forward, the more you see, and everyone will stop making a fuss.

I don't know how far I walked, but the surrounding scenery has never changed.

"Ah~~" Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing the sound, everyone turned their eyes vigilantly.

"What's going on?" Du Ziteng, who was walking in the front, glanced at the team, and at the same time he asked the question, he had already quickly walked in front of the thin man who made the sound.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that my brother was walking in a hurry, and accidentally tripped over a rattan on the ground, and was scratched by the small thorns on it, so ```" The thin man who screamed did not speak , but the fat man who supported him saw that everyone was looking at him and himself, and even Du Ziteng, the captain, came over in person, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure. He quickly explained.

"Scraping the flesh and screaming so fiercely, it's not a man." Many people thought in their hearts, looking at the thin man with contempt, that in the last days for so long, the color of the skin is actually like a woman, in their hearts more contemptuous.

The fat man noticed that everyone's stares were even more unfriendly, and he hurriedly said to everyone, "Sorry, sorry. My brother has never suffered, so ```hehe, hehe``",

"It turns out he's still a little boy, no wonder." He said contemptuously, with a look of no shyness at all.

When everyone heard it, they suddenly realized. No one noticed that the thin man who had been silent just now stared at the person who taunted him angrily,

The fat man seemed to have noticed the change in his mood, and pulled his arm, the thin man lowered his head unwillingly, and no one could see his expression clearly.

"Everyone, if you want to return to the base safely, you'd better calm down." Du Ziteng saw that the team was making a fuss, and stopped talking. Seeing that the team had quieted down, he greeted everyone: "If it's okay, let's move on "

Just when everyone was ready to move on.

"Wait a minute." Another voice stopped everyone.

This time, even Shen Xi was curious about what happened. At this moment, under his spiritual observation, he did not find any traces of mutant animals.

Hearing this sound, everyone looked at that person again. Many people even showed a hint of impatience on their faces, and looked over with a look of what's the matter. Most likely the person didn't say anything important, and immediately Trending trend.

"What did you find?" Du Ziteng saw that the person who made the sound was squatting on the ground, and he really couldn't see his expression clearly, but hearing the sound was a bit of surprise and surprise.

Du Ziteng was not far from that person, and hurried over.

Shen Zhi saw many people leaning over, pulled Mo Cheng, and walked forward quickly.

"Brother Shen, Brother Mu..." Mo Cheng turned around and called Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo.

Shen Xi nodded, and led Mu Qiangguo forward.

Everyone gathered around and saw that the man who made the sound just now was digging something on the ground with his bare hands, with a very excited expression on his face.

After a while, I saw him eagerly digging open the soil, and saw a purple color appearing under the soil, laughing like a madman, while still not forgetting to continue digging the soil.

"This is purple sweet potato." As more and more parts of the thing were exposed under the soil, many people also recognized this thing and called out its name.

Some people who originally lived in the city were a little confused when they heard this name, but when they heard someone say that this purple potato is edible, they immediately became excited.

Being able to eat means food. Food is so scarce now that many people’s family members are starved to death after the end of the world. In order to have a bite to eat, there are many people who betray their conscience. Killing people is nothing , and there are even some places where children are exchanged for food.

In the last days, food represents life and cannot be replaced by anything.

After a while, the purple potato was finally dug out by that person, and this one was as big as four fists of a grown man.

"It's actually the first time I've seen such a big purple potato." Many people expressed their amazement. Even Shen Zhi looked at the purple potato with joy. Imagine that Mo Cheng had just taught him that purple potato can be made. The food that comes out makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Even being knocked by Mo Cheng, he didn't mind at all.

Seeing that many teams were looking at the fiery eyes of Zishu and started to move, Du Ziteng simply said, asking their respective team leaders to lead their subordinates to separate to search for food, gather at the current location before dark, and make a stern statement , don't wait for the time.

Also, everything found must be implemented as assigned before departure.

As soon as Du Ziteng spoke, the team began to disperse towards the direction he had agreed on.

After a while, the number of people in the team decreased by two-thirds, and the person who had just discovered the purple sweet potato led his team to occupy the position where he had just dug the soil.

The four of Shen Xi discussed it, greeted Du Ziteng, and chose a less crowded direction to go.

Of course, the four of them knew the growth of purple sweet potatoes. However, what did other edible things look like? Except for Mu Qiangguo who had done a lot of farm work with Mrs. Mu since childhood, the other three, unless they put the food on the table, In front of them, they may be able to recognize quite a few. Let them recognize the original ecological appearance of food, but they really can't recognize a few.

Although Shen Xi has space, he is only in charge of buying the seeds, and Mu Qiangguo is in charge of the planting inside, so let him know that, except for fruit trees, he knows almost all of them because his son loves to eat. Others, those who are impressed may be able to recognize several.

Therefore, apart from looking for purple sweet potato vines, the task of finding other food was given to Mu Qiangguo alone.

Under the leadership of Shen Xi, the four of them walked more and more sideways. After walking for about 10 minutes, they really found a small piece of purple sweet potato.

In fact, Shen Xi found another large piece of purple sweet potato on the road with his spiritual sense. However, it happened that there were two other teams passing by that road at the same time, so he didn't want to conflict with those teams at this moment. There is no shortage of food, and there is no need to compete with others for anything, so I took Shen Xi and Mo Cheng to another road.

"Wow. This small piece of purple sweet potato is sure to dig out a lot of purple sweet potatoes." Shen Xi ran forward eagerly, rolled up his sleeves and planned to plan it with his hands.

"Shen Xi." Seeing this, Shen Xi immediately stopped him,

"Brother Shen, what's the matter?" Shen Zhi turned his head and looked at Shen Xi without knowing why. When he saw the small hoe Shen Xi took out from the space, his eyes immediately turned into worship. This has all. Spatial abilities, they are all universal boxes. Of course, as for why Shen Xi put this kind of thing in the space, with his head, of course, he would not think too much, but Mo Cheng, who was standing by the side, would Su Si glanced at the small hoe on the ground, but he didn't know how to get to the bottom of it.

Shen Xi quickly took out three identical small hoes from the space. These were because Mu Qiangguo bought them back as spare farm tools when he wanted to grow vegetables and food in the space.

"We dug up these purple potatoes, how did we take them back?" Mo Cheng asked immediately when he thought of the size of the purple potatoes. The family had discussed it long ago, and they must not expose Shen Xi's identity as a space power user unless it is absolutely necessary. .

"We put part of the purple sweet potatoes in Shen Xi's space, we keep half for ourselves, and take the other part when we gather. I just saw a lot of vines around. I will use those flexible ones later. Let’s weave a basket for the purple sweet potatoes from the vines. Then the purple sweet potatoes dug up will be convenient to take there.” Mu Qiangguo said.

"That's good, Brother Mu has a solution." Shen Xi looked at Mu Qiangguo with admiration again, and immediately nodded in agreement.

The other two, of course, disagreed.

"The basket containing the purple potatoes will be handed over to you. I will stay with Shen Zhi and Mo Cheng and be responsible for digging out these purple potatoes." Shen Xi arranged the tasks for the four of them, and Mu Qiangguo nodded to find usable vines. After weaving the rattan baskets, the two remaining people plus Shen Xi devoted themselves to digging out the purple sweet potatoes on the ground.

In a small piece of land, a large pile of purple sweet potatoes was dug out, the smallest ones were about the size of two fists.

Shen Zhi was so excited that he almost screamed, even Mo Cheng's eyes showed a hint of excitement, if the other found food mutated to such a large extent, then people might not have to worry about food.

Mu Qiangguo walked up to Shen Xi with a basket, and was a little surprised to see such a big pile of purple potatoes on the ground, and said: "It's really quite a lot. Although the basket I made is big, it can't hold so many."

"Let's just put it in a basket and take it there, and let Brother Shen pack the rest. Anyway, no one knows how much we dug out." Shen Zhi looked at Mu Qiangguo's basket, and it really couldn't fit much. In his heart Immediately played Xiaojiujiu, it’s better if we can’t pretend, we can save some more to eat by ourselves, and then let the godmother get more delicious varieties, and also greedy for the little baby and that stinky cat, let it eat every day Always grab my food.

Only when dealing with food issues, Shen Zhi's mind can turn so fast, Mo Cheng looked at him a little funny.

However, almost all three of them have the same idea.

After a basket of purple potatoes came out, the rest of Shen Xi neatly put it into the space.

Anyway, one day, although the four of them had been busy for a while, they were not tired. When Mu Qiangguo went to get vines just now, he found a lot of wild vegetables, and they were several times bigger than before, but he took a look. , is still very tender.

When he heard that there were fresh vegetables to eat, he didn't care what wild vegetables they were, Shen Xi exclaimed, and immediately asked Mu Qiangguo to lead the way to get wild vegetables, and shouted urgently: "Where is where?"

Since Mu Qiangguo mentioned it, he planned to pick these wild vegetables back. He smiled and said with his finger: "Let's go. It has grown a lot over there."

After the four of them approached, they saw a small slope, half of which was covered with lush green wild vegetables.

Seeing that Mo Cheng and Shen Zhi were overjoyed.

Just as the two squatted happily to pick wild vegetables, they were interrupted by a sudden voice.
