Li Jian did not deny it. He just knelt down slowly in front of Zhang Yi.
"Sorry! We didn't protect the child you left behind."
"I know you're angry, but under these circumstances, we did our best. Kill me if you want to! But please don't hurt the others. They're innocent."
After Li Jian finished speaking, he calmly prepared to die.
He didn't intend to die, but as the building director of 18#, he knew that if he didn't die, it would be difficult to quell Zhang Yi's anger.
But at this moment, an old man's voice suddenly came from inside the building.
"Li Jian, you can't die! If you die, none of us have any hope of surviving!"
Zhang Yi looked up at the room on the sixth floor
A group of people appeared. The person standing at the front looked familiar. He seemed to be the old man who had taken the grain seeds with Li Jian.
The old man's name was Ge Chenghua, a respected professor of agriculture.
He led a group of neighbors over, all with determined faces
"Zhang Yi, it's our fault that we didn't take care of the children you sent. But Li Jian is our hope. Please let him go and let me die for him!"
Ge Chenghua looked at Zhang Yi without fear and said firmly.
"If you want revenge, take my life! I've lived long enough anyway."
said an old lady with gray hair
"Let me do it. Kill me!"
"I'm alone. I'm not afraid of death!"
...
Neighbors rushed forward to replace Li Jian to die
Li Jian was so excited that tears filled his eyes." You guys…"
Zhang Yi was slightly moved by the scene of this group of people competing to die, but he was also speechless.
He laughed coldly and asked,"Who said I wanted you to die?"
Li Jian looked at Zhang Yi in astonishment and lowered his head guiltily."We didn't feed the child you sent." You can't possibly forgive us, can you?"
Zhang Yi took a deep breath. He looked at Li Jian and the others as if they were retarded.
It turned out that Xie Limei's child died
Sure enough, there aren't that many miracles in this world.
An infant child is too fragile to get sick even in peacetime, let alone in the extreme cold of an ice age
Li Jian and the others were afraid because they thought that the child was very important to Zhang Yi.
But they didn't know that Zhang Yi left the child with them because he thought the child was a burden.
If it weren't for the fear that he had a demon, he would have personally sent that child away.
Now that she's dead, Zhang Yi doesn't care.
Then he said,"I know you have nothing to do with this." Li Jian, get up!"
Zhang Yi asked Li Jian to stand up and stop kneeling.
Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Li Jian was stunned for a moment, then he was ecstatic.
He didn't have to die anymore?
Li Jian was touched and felt that Zhang Yi was really a good person with human feelings.
The neighbors of #18 also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I want to know how you survived until now. What the hell was that? Tell me more about it! I'm curious."
Zhang Yi directly said the purpose of his coming
Li Jian naturally did not dare to hide anything. He extended his hand and invited Zhang Yi into the unit building.
" You'll understand everything when you see it with your own eyes. I'll explain it to you slowly."
Zhang Yi looked at the dark corridor and touched Huahua's head. He smiled and nodded.
"Alright, let's go over and take a look."
With this super bodyguard around, he really isn't afraid of any danger.
Li Jian led the way, Zhang Yi and he went upstairs together.
On the way, Li Jian talked to him about what happened during this period of time
" Ever since we received the seeds you gave us, we have tried all kinds of methods to make them take root and grow."
"However, after trying, the results weren't very good. A large number of seeds died. Even if there are survivors, their vitality is very weak."
" At one point, we were already desperate. We even considered organizing a group of suicide squads to go out and look for food."
"But at this moment, a group of believers who call themselves Snow worshippers arrived."
Zhang Yi's eyes sparkled." Snow worship? Do you mean to say that you are able to survive because you received their help?"
Li Jian did not dare to hide anything from Zhang Yi.
He said,"They came and found me. They said it could help us survive and give me extraordinary abilities."
"At that time, we had no other way to go, so I agreed to their conditions." Xiu Shuyu
"Anyway, everyone is going to die soon. We will accept any conditions now."
Zhang Yi was also very curious. What kind of conditions did the other party propose to get back what they had paid for?
"But they said that as long as we believe in the Snow God, it's fine. We don't need anything else," Li Jian said.
Zhang Yi's mouth revealed a sneer
He never believed in free lunches.
A certain penguin used himself as an example to teach countless young people in the country that free things were the most expensive!
"Then what ability do you have now?"
Zhang Yi stared at Li Jian and asked,
Li Jian answered honestly," He planted a white seed between my eyebrows, right here."
Li Jian reached out and pointed at the position between his eyebrows
"I feel like I've been thrown into an ice cellar, and then there's a burning heat."
"Then, my body produced a strange power. Look!"
In front of Zhang Yi, Li Jian pulled up his right arm clothes.
Zhang Yi saw a very strange scene, he believes that any intensive phobia patients will see this scene scalp tingle
Under Li Jian's thin arm skin, there were bumps one after another. Moreover, there were dense net-like roots deeply penetrating into the flesh.
The whole arm no longer looks like a human arm, but rather like a petri dish. Every place the eye can see is a small bump like this.
"What is this?"
Zhang Yi swallowed. He felt a little conflicted with this strange feeling, but he still asked.
"These are seeds for food," Li Jian said.
He looked at Zhang Yi and revealed a weak smile: "My ability is to cultivate plants with my own body." The seeds cultivated by my body will not only have more vitality, but also grow faster."
Zhang Yi was silent
He only took a deep look at the skinny Li Jian and finally understood why he had become such a neither human nor ghost.
" Just using your flesh to cultivate food can't satisfy the nutrients needed for planting, right?"
Zhang Yi said lightly
"Ah! This problem is easy to solve, we have Professor Ge here. He's an expert in agriculture!"
Li Jian took Zhang Yi to the door of a room. When he reached out to unscrew the door handle, he looked at Zhang Yi apologetically.
"The next picture may make you feel a little uncomfortable, please forgive me."
Zhang Yi smiled disapprovingly and said,"What do you think I haven't seen before?"
"Ah, you're right."
After Li Jian finished speaking, he reached out and opened the door
A touch of green came into Zhang Yi's eyes
He could feel the warm and humid air, and everything in the room was indeed strange.
This is a growing room, which is full of all kinds of cultivated food. It is lush and very vigorous.
But it's not the soil where they take root--it's the bodies.
Plants take root on corpses, feed on them, and thrive.
Li Jian said to Zhang Yi," Due to the lack of nutrients, we can only attack the dead residents of the community."
Zhang Yi curled his lips and smiled."Isn't this good?" At least you know how to recycle. There is no moral guilt about cannibalism, and no waste of resources."
He suddenly thought of something and asked Li Jian Dao," Then those graves outside were also built to store corpses?"
"That's true," Li Jian nodded sheepishly.
Zhang Yi looked around the room. The grain was growing very well.
Those corpses had long since been drained of nutrients and turned into white bones.
There's a lot of soil on the body, and the rest of the nutrients and microbes are absorbed by the soil.
It's true. Nothing goes to waste.
"How many cultivation rooms do you have in your unit?"
Zhang Yi stretched out his hand and pinched the leaves of a wheat plant as he asked casually.
"There are three rooms in total."
"Well, not bad, it's good to be self-sufficient."
Zhang Yi glanced at Li Jian." However, if this continues, you will die!"
Three cultivation rooms. Each seed absorbs Li Jian's flesh and grows.
For him, overdraft is vitality, which is equivalent to using his life to exchange for the hope of food growth.
Li Jian scratched his head and laughed." Anyway, at this time, even if I don't do anything, I'll still die!"
"Why don't I try my best to do something, and then…let my wife and children live."
When Li Jian mentioned his wife and son, his eyes were full of warmth.
It's something called love.
Zhang Yi could not help but admire Li Jian.
Maybe one day he'll have a baby, too.
However, that day would have to wait until after the apocalypse.
"Li Jian, let me see your ability!"
Zhang Yi retracted his sympathy and stared at Li Jian seriously.
So far, he had seen many artificial Inhumans. For the time being, it would be better to call them modified humans.
And the ability to modify humans is much weaker than the naturally awakened Inhumans.
Li Jian's ability is very practical, but it doesn't show a strong enough aspect
Zhang Yi wanted to confirm to what extent the so-called Snow Worship Sect's Great Decree could stimulate a person's potential.
Li Jian was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes firmly agreed.
Although this kind of thing was very harmful to his body, he could not refuse Zhang Yi, or he was not qualified to negotiate terms.
" I understand. Now I'll show you my abilities!"
