Guo Junyuan came back while Ji Changze was packing things in the car. He could obviously feel that her attitude towards him was completely different from before. Although she hadn't reached 100% trust yet, she still had 80%. .
He pretended not to notice anything, then turned his head and smiled at Guo Junyuan: "Everything is almost packed. I drove during the day, and you were behind with the baby. We usually find a place to rest at night, or we can't find it If there is a place, just rest in the car directly, you can see what is missing, we can still find it on the way."
Guo Junyuan's tone was more than a little softer than before: "There is nothing missing at the moment, so that's great."
Indeed, Ji Changze is very considerate.
He even brought the things a woman needs during her menstrual period. Five large boxes are enough.
Xiao Bao is sleeping. He is too young and sleeps a lot. This gives adults plenty of time to do other things.
Guo Junyuan asked: "I remember that there are many books on this car, do you have that kind of teaching skills?"
"Have."
Ji Changze opened the cabinet under the bottom bed. It was full of books. He went to open the cabinet next to him: "What kind of book do you want?"
Guo Junyuan thought for a while: "Teach practical skills, you can learn it now."
Ji Changze nodded, and said while looking for the book she wanted:
"When Chuanchuan and I were searching for food before, we discovered that although many buildings did not fall, too few humans survived. The main reason is that even if some buildings are not hit, they will be smashed by other fallen buildings. In addition, it was during the day when things happened. There were a lot of people outside. The dust from the falling building was enough to make them sick. We explored the surroundings all the time and we could count the people we met with one hand. come."
"According to normal circumstances, the army should come out for rescue in such a major accident, but after so long, Chuanchuan and I guessed that either the military was busy protecting itself, or there was no manpower at all. Basically, cities have become forests, and rural areas are about the same, but there is land in rural areas. Now the plants we encounter along the way are ten times or larger than before, but these plants are not much edible, and rural areas are different. There is land in the countryside and crops are planted in the land. Although we may also face wild animals and plants when we go to the countryside, we can at least eat."
He found a book about making a textile machine and handed it to Guo Junyuan.
"Just this one. I basically have all the tools and materials that I should have here. I will find out and give it to you later. Now people buy clothes directly. Even in the countryside, there is no fabric."
Guo Junyuan took the book and asked, "Can those crops still be eaten? I think the plants now are fundamentally different from the previous ones. Will they be poisonous?"
"I have done experiments, and the crops are basically edible. For example, green onions and leeks are just a lot larger than before, the taste has not changed, and there is no attack phenomenon."
As Ji Changze said, he took out a glass bottle from the cloth bag behind the driver's seat, and inside it was a small branch of a vine, waving his body in the bottle.
Seeing Guo Junyuan was shocked, she subconsciously leaned back in front of Xiaobao, Ji Changze quickly calmed her: "Don't be afraid, this vine is different from the one that attacked you before. Even if it is released, it will only Overgrown our car immediately, nothing else will do."
Sounds scary, okay?
Guo Junyuan's body became stiffer, her eyes staring at this vine as if she was looking at some kind of prehistoric behemoth.
Ji Changze reluctantly put the bottle back, seeing Guo Junyuan's expression relaxed a little, then said: "Its weakness is that it can't climb on the glass. Before the end of the world, this vine is a very small variety, and it can only cover a car at most. The size of the window, they are actually very strange. They can grow with a little water, but once there is no water, they will wither and die. In the past, this kind of vine would be used as an ornamental plant by fish farmers in aquariums because it cannot Climbing on the glass, so it will climb on the rockery. I found that all the characteristics of it have not changed after the mutation. For example, it still relies heavily on water and still cannot climb on the glass."
Knowing that this vine has weaknesses, Guo Junyuan is obviously more relaxed.
She leaned slightly, and she found a shallow layer of water at the bottom of the glass bottle.
The roots of the vines floated above the water, and the upper body was almost upright, even a small leaf did not lean against the glass.
Ji Changze added: "In fact, most plants are not terrible. As long as you master their characteristics, they not only can't hurt us, but sometimes they can be used by us, as an analogy."
He pulled the car door, put a small bowl on the shelf on the right side of the door, filled the bowl with water, then opened the glass bottle in his hand and poured the vine that was dancing magically into it, with the roots stuck in the bowl on top The branch was pulled by Ji Changze and let it lie on the body.
The shackles without the glass had a source of water again, and the vines suddenly grew wanton, and began to climb towards the roof of the car at a speed visible to the naked eye, but they all bypassed the place where the glass strips were attached.
Guo Junyuan opened her eyes wide in shock. She unconsciously stood up and walked to the door of the car. She watched the vine slowly crawling across all parts of the car body as if controlled, and bypassing all the places that should not be climbed. Stop where it should be.
Now, if this RV is viewed from a distance, it can basically blend in with the surrounding grass.
"Oh my God..."
She covered her mouth, her face full of surprise: "It actually bypassed those things that shouldn't be crawled."
This is as if there is life and thinking.
Of course there is no thinking or something.
Ji Changze explained: "After I discovered the characteristics of this vine, I put a glass strip on the car where I don't want it to climb. The place where the water source is given is directly connected to the car body. If something happens, the glass strip will fall off. If you climb on other parts of the car, this rack will be removed, and it will die immediately without water, so it is safe."
While talking, he took out the scissors, cut out a small branch on the vine, and threw it in the glass bottle.
"This kind of vine cut branches can survive as long as there is water, so as long as you have a backup, you can let it wither at any time."
He continued: "It used to be able to cut off the branches to survive, but it needs to be carefully raised. Now it may be mutated and it is easy to survive. Even if it is kept in a glass bottle, it will not die."
Ji Changze shook the glass bottle in his hand and looked at Guo Junyuan: "How about it, isn't it convenient?"
Guo Junyuan looked at the green-looking RV in front of him, and suddenly realized: "As long as we have this kind of vine in our hands, we can quickly hide wherever we are."
"Yes, some birds will look down from the sky and then fly down to catch food. They don't know solar panels and they always fly down and want to peck, which is very annoying. But now it's different with this kind of vine, although it is not lethal. , But it looks like another kind of vine that feeds on birds. Those birds are now so refined that they will never fly down."
"And the anesthetics I gave you before. These anesthetics are extracted from another plant. Their lifestyle is similar to the Venus flytrap. They trap prey to themselves and open their leaves to swallow them, in order to prevent the prey. Flee, they will automatically secrete a liquid that can numb the prey."
"In the past, this kind of plant could only catch a fly, a mosquito, or something. After the mutation, the appetite is much larger than before. Similarly, their secretion effect is many times stronger than before. I extracted these secreted liquids. I have to dilute it before it can be used. I extracted its seeds, and I have the opportunity to plant them in the future, so I can always extract the anesthetic."
After Ji Changze finished speaking, he put down the glass bottle and took out another bottle. This time, it was not vines, but some seeds.
He handed the seeds to the curious Guo Junyuan: "This is also a Venus flytrap-like plant. In order to catch prey, their leaves are covered with spikes, which are used to pierce struggling prey. Now they can almost grow to half a person. It is tall and grows very fast. As long as it is placed in the soil and watered, it can grow in about three days, and it is also aggressive to humans."
Guo Junyuan didn't understand, holding the bottle and looking at the seeds inside: "The previous vine can be used for concealment, and the latter can be used as anesthetic, what about this one?"
Ji Changze: "Its spikes can be grown again, the size is about the size of the arrows in my bow and arrow, and because the pointed tip is very sharp and there are barbs on it, it can be used directly as an arrow without even polishing."
"The key point is that it can grow longer. It can grow a new one after five days after cutting one. So it can be recycled. Then we will raise a batch and cut off all the spikes at a specific time. After five days, I can slash again, and I don't have to make my own arrows, and the lethality of the arrows made is not good."
After that, Ji Changze took the bottle in Guo Junyuan's hand again, and touched it with a little cherishment: "The only drawback is that it takes time to grow. After a while, I will dig some soil underneath. We will plant it today. It's a waste of time for us to use an arrow and stop to get there on the way we came here before. Having it here can save a lot of things."
Guo Junyuan: "..."
When she lived in the office building before, every time she went out, everyone was cautiously cheering each other up. Seeing some weird-looking plants could not wait to hide as far as 800 meters, talking about these plants was full of fear and horror.
She never expected that one day she would sit here, listening to Ji Changze's "On the Eight Hundred Use Methods of Mutant Plants".
Ji Changze: "Don't worry, most of those mutant plants have such a foundation before, but they have been enlarged many times now. For example, the food we usually eat does not have this bad problem at all. Although there may be many animals in our hometown, Anyhow, for the time being, there will be no big beasts like lions and tigers."
Nowadays, in addition to that kind of special territory, what kind of mountain next to the countryside can still have lions and tigers.
After all, humans in the village have long designated the mountains as their possessions. Wild animals walk in hiding. At most, they can see rabbits, pheasants, hedgehogs, and even deer and wild boars.
And the reason why the city suddenly became a paradise for animals is not because there is a zoo.
There are all kinds of animals in the zoo, there are a lot of lions and tigers, even elephants, anyway, only people can't think that no one can't see them. On the second day of the end of the world, Ji Changze also saw a group of peacocks, but later on Never saw it again, but saw a lot of peacock feathers.
He guessed that these peacocks probably died.
After all, although the peacock has a long neck, it is still very fat. It has wings. It can't fly. Even if it can fly, it can only fly a little distance. Such a delicious prey that can't run fast, don't eat anyone.
The countryside is different.
Although there are many vegetation, there are still very few exotic plants.
For example, the weird plants that Ji Changze sees now are mostly not native to China, or are not native to this region at all, but used by some people to keep them for fun. The result may be that the building fell down or something, seeds or plants. Falling on the ground, it grew and multiplied with this momentum.
There are not many young people in rural areas. Everyone is busy farming, watching TV and playing mahjong. Who has the time to play with this stuff?
Even if it is because of the sudden growth of vegetation now that it has become a hotbed for large animals, how long will it take for them to appear in the mountains for a while.
After Ji Changze and Guo Junyuan analyzed this way, Guo Junyuan understood.
That said, it really is.
She could occasionally see wild rabbits in the mountains when she was young, but when she went to high school and went home, she couldn't see them anymore. The rabbits are very reproductive and small. There are definitely some, but the kind of slightly larger beasts. It's really impossible.
She and Ji Changze both tacitly failed to mention whether the village where their elders were located might have been hit by a meteorite.
Chinese people value their family very much. When something happens, the first reaction is to go home and return to their parents, especially in this situation where the family cannot be contacted, even if they know that the elders in the family may die in a meteorite. When it rains, even if there is only a tenth of a percent probability left, most people will still choose to go home.
Guo Junyuan is taking a child with her, and she doesn't have enough supplies, otherwise she would have found a car and went home directly.
Among the people who followed, Li Hechuan was with his parents, while Fu Hao and Zhang Shengsheng were both parents dead and no more ties.
Therefore, the group of them can be regarded as a successful team, and together they drove towards the home of Ji Changze and Guo Junyuan.
Several members of the family are considered to have a bit of abilities.
Don't say Ji Changze, he knows everything, basically equivalent to a Baidu Encyclopedia.
Li Hechuan is good at playing with computers and has strong hands-on skills. He used to get those racks up before. In addition, he is also very good at bait, knowing how to run to show his flesh to a greater extent. The deliciousness of the meat.
Zhang Shengsheng is a medical student. Although she hasn't graduated yet, she has good grades and can see a headache, even though she herself is not confident.
As for why the child is five years old and she has not graduated...
Five years of undergraduate, three years of master's degree, three years of doctoral degree, and he could go to the hospital just now.
The three families have their own abilities, and they all have a bottom line in their hearts.
Oh no, there is another one who is not capable.
Ji Changze emerged from the door half of his body, looking at the small broken car behind: "That's Chen's Lu, right?"
Guo Junyuan also got out of the car door with a little doubt and looked back, just to see Chen's Lu Zheng gnawing on a pack of instant noodles, while eating while looking towards them, she immediately looked at her with disgust. Open, the look on his face is very strange.
It's just like seeing something amazing.
Guo Junyuan: "..."
Forget it, don't care about him, after all, his brain circuit seems to have not been normal.
She guessed: "Maybe he wants to go home too, isn't he in the same village as you?"
"I guess so, isn't Li Hechuan's car a bit crowded? Let's see if Chen's Lu can join us. Then Fu Hao and his wife can go to Chen's Lu car, so that the ride will not be crowded."
Guo Junyuan was a little surprised that Ji Changze actually offered to let Chen's Lu go with them.
Didn't he and Chen's Lu never deal with each other?
"Look at what I am doing? Although he and I are rivals, they are in the same village anyway. If you can drop in, you will be able to drop in, and Zhang Shengsheng also said that before you were injured, he gave you gauze. We can't let him think of us. I owe him a favor, and taking him with him this time can be regarded as repaying the favor."
Ji Changze speaks hard, but in Guo Junyuan's eyes, he is trying to hide his kindness.
Her gaze softened, she only felt as if she had seen Changze in college again.
At that time, she agreed to Changze's pursuit, not only because he was handsome and gentle, but also because he once found a litter of abandoned milk cats on a rainy day. He wanted to take in the school dormitory without allowing pets. There was no other way. Asked if she could do anything about it, and finally they sent the litter of milk cats together.
Guo Junyuan likes small animals very much, and once rescued milk cats. Therefore, she has a good impression of Ji Changze, who can also help these small animals that will die if not saved. After that, she naturally agreed to Ji Changze's pursuit.
When the two were in love, they had agreed to raise a cat together after they got married. However, after they got married, Ji Changze said that they had no time to take care of the cat, so they never raised it. Later, they finally stabilized their career and had money in their hands, but Guo Junyuan Just happened to be pregnant.
Later, she and Ji Changze had a relationship crisis. She began to suspect that Ji Changze had derailed. Chen's Lu insisted on telling him that Ji Changze was a disguise, and she gradually became really suspicious.
But sometimes, suspicion will be defeated by the original memories.
The silly Ji Changze who held the umbrella for the milk cat got wet all over, just waiting for the appearance of the mother cat, how could he be that kind of person.
Now, this idea has been reinforced again.
Ji Changze got up to go out: "I'll go talk to him."
"Don't, you two don't deal with each other, stop arguing, let me go."
Guo Junyuan understands how unpleasant Ji Changze looks at Chen's Lu, and almost everyone knows how uncomfortable Chen's Lu is.
It's strange that the two people bumped into each other and didn't make a noise.
Ji Changze sat down happily: "It's okay, you go, you tell this kid, we are just repaying the favor, and he is not willing to go with us, it's not uncommon."
Guo Junyuan glanced at him helplessly, only to think that the two of them were the same.
It's normal to do everything, and immediately become elementary school students as soon as they meet each other.
When she was in college, she could imagine how they got along when they were in elementary school every time she watched each other.
"Don't worry, I'm going, if you don't worry, just stand by the car door and watch."
Ji Changze waved his hand: "I have nothing to worry about about you. Chen's Lu wants to pry my corner, but your vision is not that bad."
"Your vision is too bad, too bad. Were you not very normal when we were freshman? How come you would look at Shang Ji Changze, who looks like a dog, looks like a dog, and has a small belly chicken inside. ?"
Chen's Lu felt he was suffocating.
"And look at what you said to Zhang Shengsheng before. He did what he did because he loves Xiaobao too much. Oh my god, I love Xiaobao more than him. You can't remember. I remember, when Xiaobao was full moon, I knew that Ji Changze didn't buy a longevity lock. I bought that longevity lock. I specially asked someone to ask the master for blessing at the Chang'an Temple and added a full 20 yuan to let the wind go. The express mail came here. Where's Ji Changze? Not to mention the long life lock. He didn't even buy an ordinary lock. Is this my father?"
Guo Junyuan looked at Chen Lu who was talking and was angry again, and was a little bit dumbfounded: "The long life lock is Changze who doesn't believe in this kind of thing. It's his own son. Can he not hurt?"
"Listen to him nonsense. Before the college entrance examination, I didn't know who went to Mount Tai to pray for Buddha for a good grade. And it's the rule in our village that children wear long life locks on the full moon. He and I did it when we were young. , Saying that it is the longevity lock child that can be safe, he doesn't buy it for Xiaobao, how could he hurt Xiaobao."
Guo Junyuan and the others didn't have this rule, so she didn't quite understand Chen Lu's rhetoric.
She can only skip this topic temporarily: "Don't talk about it, you haven't returned to me yet, can you go home in a team, okay?"
"If you don't form a team, no one in this life can get me and Ji Changze into the same team. No matter how difficult my Chen Lu is on the way home, I won't go with Ji Changze."
"I didn't say to go together. We were in the RV in front. It was mainly you and Fu Hao who were talking together, and then the three cars went together."
Chen's Lu refused: "Then I dare not do it. I will definitely not team up with Ji Changze. This kid is very refined. The ghost knows if he will sell me. I will tell you that when we were in college, I saw him squatting on the ground with an umbrella. There was a litter of kittens in front of me. He watched them soaking in the rain and didn't give the kittens an umbrella. I wanted to go up and take the kittens away. He said I'm too much. Nosy, what kind of person, this kind of person's cold-blooded ruthlessness is in the bones, I don't believe him."
He just finished speaking angrily, and saw Guo Junyuan in front of him look even more helpless.
"Where did you hear that Changze saved a litter of cats and would rather get wet and give them an umbrella?"
Chen's Lu: "?? No, I mean I saw him holding an umbrella there, not an umbrella for the cat."
"I know I know, no, Chen Lu, you really don't do this, you are not bad, you are good to others, why do you have to do this to Changze... so distorting the facts? Changze He has a bad relationship with you, but his character cannot be changed by twisting the facts and making up some things."
Chen's Lu: "..."
He almost didn't poke his finger in his nostril: "Am I distorting the facts?? Me???"
"OK OK."
Chen's Lu also knows how tinted glasses Ji Changze has, and Guo Junyuan also waved her hand: "Don't talk about this, you really don't go with us?"
"Don't go."
Chen's Lu firmly refused.
He is spine, and if he doesn't partner with Ji Changze, he won't partner with Ji Changze.
Seeing his firm attitude, Guo Junyuan had no choice but to turn around and leave when she saw Ji Changze coming.
"Jun Yuan, you go back first, I will tell him."
Guo Junyuan was a little worried that the two of them would fight, but still chose to trust her husband and nodded and went back to the car.
The remaining Ji Changze looked at Chen's Lu with a vigilant look. He didn't say much, and went directly to the subject: "Are you really not going together? Chuan Chuan, that's the fat young man. He has a strong hands-on ability and did it by himself." A simple monitoring alarm, even if we sleep at night, if something steps into the range, the alarm will sound immediately."
Chen's Lu: "..."
"Zhang Shengsheng is a medical student and a Ph.D. She can cure any headaches."
Chen's Lu: "This..."
"There is also a plant in our car that can be used as an arrow. Bows and arrows can be used to shoot prey, so we don't worry about not eating them all the way."
Chen's Lu: "Hmm..."
Seeing that he was still hesitant, looking like he wanted to agree and felt shameless, Ji Changze said, "We still have gasoline reserves in the car."
Chen's Lu Xiao smiled.
"Okay, okay, when we set off, I'm on standby anytime."
backbone?
I can't eat it, so why do I want it?
Ji Changze glanced at him condescendingly: "Quiet, I know you will agree."
Chen's Lu: "..."
Bah, the fool wouldn't agree.
Ji Changze went back and told Guo Junyuan that Chen's Lu had agreed. Guo Junyuan was very happy. After all, Chen's Lu had helped her and was still a classmate. Of course, it would be best to walk together and go home safely.
While happy, but also somewhat clear.
Chen Lu, who repelled Changze so much, agreed, showing that he didn't know what Changze was, otherwise how could he agree.
Hey, Chen's Lu is pretty good in everything else, that is, in Hei Changze, he is too persistent in making up nonsense for Hei Changze, and making up all kinds of nonsense.
Sure enough, he was still jealous and wanted to cuckold Nagasawa's little mung bean eyes, otherwise there was no way to explain it.
Look, he knows Changze is a good person.
