Er Dai stood there at a loss. He had no idea why Shao Qing suddenly got so angry. However seeing Shao Qing wanting to leave, he couldn’t help but follow her. Yet, Shao Qing immediately turned around frowning. “Go back, stop following me.”
Er Dai stopped his footsteps, standing there appearing rather pitiful. As he watched Shao Qing take a step little by little departing away from him, he abruptly made a really really soft whimper as if to detain her. Shao Qing had always believed herself to have a heart of steel but she couldn’t lift her legs up to continue walking any more.
She suddenly began calling into question whether her treating Er Dai well is good conduct or did it in fact harm Er Dai. In the end, she couldn’t resist turning around causing her to see Er Dai helplessly standing in a field of complete disorder, clothing all tattered, and covered in dust.
Shao Qing could roughly guess to why Er Dai was secretly following her. But the more she thought, the more Shao Qing felt sad. She felt that her decision would cause Er Dai harm, even if he was a zombie who didn’t understand anything.
Does a zombie have a heart? Have feelings? Shao Qing didn’t know, but Er Dai definitely does.
Shao Qing hesitated for a long time. Finally letting out a sigh she turned around. “Follow me and listen to what I say.”
The originally downcast Er Dai who was wailing, suddenly resembled the release of an arrow, and directly hung onto Shao Qing.
Shao Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry as she caught Er Dai, sighing. “You don’t even resemble a zombie at all. You’re more like a husky. Stupid and foolish, and also super clingy. Come down quickly.”
Probably scared that Shao Qing might change her mind, Er Dai hurriedly came down Shao Qing’s body. Following her from behind, he had a lovable appearance on.
“He’s changed……” Shao Qing sighed in admiration as she dragged Er Dai to the ravine in the vicinity. Connected to this ravine was a reservoir thus the ravine had not so shallow water. Directly peeling off Er Dai’s clothings until he was stark naked, she pushed him into the water. From head to toe, she washed him clean thoroughly.
Probably from being scared that Shao Qing might abandon him again, so although he loathed the water, he was especially obedient and didn’t move at all to cooperate with Shao Qing.
After cleaning Er Dai thoroughly, she found a somewhat clean…… set of women clothes for Er Dai to put on. Not bad. It was women clothing because within Shao Qing’s storage apart from women clothing she only had children clothing.
Although it was women clothing, it was the neutral type of clothing. With Er Dai’s facial features being extremely delicate and pretty, even so much that you could call him refined and exquisite. Now after washing that chaotic mess of a hair so it became agreeable and obedient and changing into women clothing, unexpectedly nothing seemed out of sorts.
Shao Qing rubbed Er Dai’s dripping wet hair. His agreeable short hair immediately changing into a messy regiment. Specially taking out a black cloak from within her dimension, she allowed Er Dai to drape it over his shoulders. “In front of others, make sure you don’t remove it. You understand?”
After Er Dai earnestly nodded his head, Shao Qing pulled him along. By the time they got back, the flock of zombies had already started to slowly disperse. Pulling Er Dai along, they returned back to the house where the rest had gone into hiding.
When they climbed over the wall to enter, several people became on guard until they discovered it was Shao Qing and then let out a sigh of relief. Gu Panpan patted her chest. “Qing Jie Jie, you really scared me! You said you’re going to leave, and then you just left. There were so many zombies outside, just taking a glance at them left my whole body numb and full of goosebumps. Fortunately, you were able to safely return…… wait, who are you?”
Gu Panpan let her gaze to fall on the good looking Er Dai who was standing on the side. After cleaning up and changing his entire outfit, if one didn’t look carefully, he did seem to be like a graceful and beautiful maiden.
“My cousin, he’s mute. When he was young he had a really high fever, so at the hospital he was given hormones and injections. After all that he ended up losing his voice and is a bit foolish. Just now when I went out, I discovered that he was inside the car that was being chased.” Shao Qing coughed, without even the slightest of pressure she began to fabricate her lie: “My cousin followed his family to J city. After the apocalypse began, we haven’t been in touch, who would have thought that we would see each other here.”
“So it was your Biao Di*…… I thought it was your Biao Mei**……” Gu Panpan extended out her hand. “Nice to meet you Biao Di, my name’s Gu Panpan.”
*Biao Di = male cousin; everytime you see cousin, it actually says Biao Di. In Chinese, family relations usually have more specific titles in comparison to English.
**Biao Mei = female cousin
Er Dai secretly stole a glance over at Shao Qing, then took a look at his own claws. His ash gray fingernails were too conspicuous. After hurriedly retracting his fingernails, he stiffly reached out and shook Gu Panpan’s hand for moment then quickly pulled back.
“Your cousin is really shy……” Gu Panpan looked at Er Dai then coughed. “But the way he dresses seems the exact opposite.”
“His clothes ripped, so I gave him mine to wear.” Shao Qing coughed into her fists, her confidence very lacking.
Luckily, Xiao Baozi who was currently in Yan Hanqing’s embrace struggled out, then…… scuttled over to Er Dai’s bosom.
Er Dai at once caught Xiao Baozi. After all at that time, he had repeatedly taken over the role of being a nanny, so Xiao Baozi was extremely familiar with Er Dai.
It should be actually said that Xiao Baozi is extremely proficient in bullying Er Dai.
After arriving within Er Dai’s embrace, he proficiently occupied Er Dai’s bosom. When Xiao Baozi interrupted the moment, the atmosphere immediately eased up and the rest of the group also accepted Er Dai.
Shao Qing let out a breath of relief, then turned her head to see Yan Hanqing standing behind her with gentle eyes. “You’ve returned.”
Just when Shao Qing was preparing to reply, a shadow flashed in front of her. She could only see that Er Dai was standing in front of her as if protecting his food, giving ferocious stares at Yan Hanqing.
Volume 3 32 Searching for man eating flowers
The statement that everything has its weakness is quite accurate. Da Hua was actually the nemesis of this group of black bugs. This bug should be a mutant animal. Yan Qiyue found that they were very similar to zombies. Dissecting them, they were a mass of dead flesh and the so-called reproduction was actually a form of splitting. The energy swallowed was converted into a part of the body. Then when the limit was reached, it would split up becoming another one of its own.
This was a peculiar type of zombified bug, thus they were not interested in zombies.
While their shells were made of a very special substance, the hardness was a bit terrifying.
The liquid secreted by Da Hua was extremely corrosive. Don’t look at this shell, even a knife or a gun would not penetrate it, yet it was weak against the corrosive liquid of Da Hua.
But the problem was this. Da Hua was different from ordinary man eating flowers. Da Hua had evolved with Shao Qing, that is to say, it was actually a rank six mutant plant.
After reaching the sixth rank, the most remarkable feature of Da Hua was that the liquid it secretes was more corrosive than the typical man eating flower by several times.
Can ordinary man eating flowers digest these black bugs?
Yan Qiyue was not sure since there was no material on hand and what he could use was limited. He just used the liquid secreted by Da Hua and simply made it into a kind of medicine.
The name cripple referred to this medication as ‘corrosive medicine’. Taking it for a test, when the medicine was poured into the swarm, the insects that were stained squeaked and corroded immediately.
A large blank space was vacated at once.
“It works.” Yan Qiyue said in surprise: “Give me some more time and I can turn the medicine into a spray. This way the people who patrol the beach can carry a bottle with them. When they discover any black bugs, they can exterminate them directly.”
Shao Qing nodded, then turned towards the person in charge: “Can you send your men to the vicinity and see if there are any man eating flowers. We want to take a look at the corrosive liquid of ordinary man eating flowers to see if they would be effective.”
The person responsible nodded quickly and sent someone out to find it.
Shao Qing threatened Da Hua and it vomited out a lot of liquid to allow Yan Qiyue to research further. Da Hua was wronged, but with so many bugs to eat, it was comforted quickly.
After the insects were wiped out by Da Hua, Da Hua had some indigestion. After all, these bugs were small, but they each carried a lot of energy. After they are eaten, it would take some time to be digested.
The plan to use Da Hua to eliminate bugs was naturally announced. This was because after Da Hua ate the swarm, it took about one night to digest it.
More leaves have grown out, and thin vines have grown under the leaves. In the past, it would stand on the spot, waiting for the prey to come to its door. Later, after being recruited by Shao Qing, it would jump around and chase people. Now, it has evolved again. It could stretch out its vines, tie down the prey, and stuff it into its mouth. This was worthy of celebration.
Because Da Hua constantly provided corrosive liquid, Yan Qiyue quickly made a “corrosive spray”. Later on, the patrol squads each had a bottle.
The team that went out to find the man eating flower also came back. They found a few man eating flowers, but unfortunately the rank was not high. The highest was only rank three. Their corrosive liquid had no effect at all.
In the past two days, Da Hua was placed outside, appearing to be in breeding mode. It would also secretly eat one of its own kind. When it hiccuped, it was discovered by Shao Qing. Then it had a few petals ripped out. Wrapping its own head, it hid in the corner for a long time crying.
Yan Qiyue was sorry to discover that only rank 5 and higher man eating flowers would produce corrosive liquid that can have an effect. Of course, Da Hua was still the most effective. It is probably the highest rank amongst the man eating flowers today.
After the result came out, Shao Qing thought for a long time, then finally said: “Zixi, you bring some people to stay, beware of the black bugs. Qiyue and I will go to the jungle to find out if there are any more advanced man eating flowers.”
It won’t work if they just rely on Da Hua. They need more corrosive liquids to produce the spray. Da Hua was already exhausted and they couldn’t produce that much.
Qin Zixi knew that Shao Qing was a zombie. For going to the jungle, she would be the safest, so he nodded. However, he couldn’t help but remind her, “Be careful and come back quickly.”
He felt that he was very much like a wife telling her husband who was going away……
“I know.” Shao Qing patted his head, then said: “I will leave tomorrow morning, so Qiyue can make some more spray tonight. You will need it for self-defense.”
Actually, it was not because of this. In fact, she also needed to go to the jungle. Going past a small jungle before, this time, she wanted to go to the largest jungle in china. In fact, she wanted to explore its deepest parts.
Anyway, after breaking through to the sixth rank, she still lacked a mutant plant. This time, it just worked out coincidentally.
Killing two birds with one stone.
Early the next morning, they left, leaving the spray that Yan Qiyue rushed to produce all night long. For this reason, all the leaves on Da Hua hung down low, depicting a pitiful appearance of a dying flower.
Yan Qiyue only slept for two hours last night. Yawning the entire time, he looked very pitiful. After Shao Qing took them away, she first went to the surrounding areas to catch a mutant tiger first. Then she allowed Yan Qiyue to sleep on the tiger’s back.
For a while. Yaya was very proud, squatting on the tiger’s head bouncing around. The tiger dared not complain, since it had already been beaten by Shao Qing……
Yaya was probably the first rabbit to dare to act wild on a tiger’s head……
This was the biggest jungle, in the southernmost part of China. It rained for 10 months of the year. Sometimes it would be a downpour and sometimes it would be continuous light rain.
It is because of the excessively humid weather that the jungle there was exceptionally lush.
When Shao Qing and Er Dai arrived, it was rare that it was not raining. The sky was also clear, but there was a layer of haze making it hard to see.
After a brief rest, Shao Qing let go of the tiger. Carrying Xiao Yu, she led her family into the jungle.
The first time she entered the jungle, her strength was not high enough for her to be daring. But now, she has already reached the sixth rank. She did not dare say that she was the world’s strongest, but she can definitely be regarded as one of the top handful of people.
Beside her, there were also no weak people around, so she was especially confident.
They lived in the jungle as if they were at home. If they were hungry, they were surrounded by ingredients. What they wanted to eat is what they could eat. Everything was fresh. There were vegetables and meat. Shao Qing wanted to move the entire Jiangcheng to here.
“When we are free, we can come and transplant some trees back to Jiangcheng. We can also gather some wild vegetables, mushrooms, and animals to bring back and raise.” When Shao Qing said this she was almost drooling.
The happiest thing in the world is to have a food warehouse right in front of the house. This way whatever they wanted to eat would be fresh.
Yan Qiyue’s mouth twitched, “As long as you’re happy.”
The jungle was hit by a disaster the moment they entered. No one dared to come into this jungle originally because it was too dangerous. Even the outer perimeters of the jungle was dangerous, thus few dared to risk their lives.
Therefore, the plants in the jungle, as well as the mutated animals, had a very comfortable life.
But when Shao Qing came, she had brought her family over causing chaos within the jungle. The originally arrogant animals now ran away when they saw Shao Qing.
This was because if they were slower, they would be turned into a plate of barbecue or a pot of ribs. Even those ugly animals, such as snakes, rats, ants could not escape Shao Qing’s kitchen knife.
There was nothing they dared not eat. There were only things they have not encountered yet.
For the group of mutant animals, Shao Qing was terrible. Not only the mutant animals, but the mutant plants were also attacked by Shao Qing.
For others, this might be the jungle of death, but for Shao Qing, this was the jungle on the tip of her tongue.
Those fierce beasts, in the eyes of outsiders, were scary and deadly. For Shao Qing, they were divided into two types: tender meat that should be roasted and fried or older meat that should be stewed or boiled.
Those poisonous animals also failed to escape.
This is the terrifying power of a foodie.
Shao Qing took them and rampaged into the depths of the jungle. At first, she encountered many mutant beasts. Some of them even saw them and rushed up with saliva drooling down.
Later on, as soon as they heard movement, they would run away. Shao Qing would only be able to see the dust that hadn’t fallen to the ground yet.
Yan Qiyue later began to doubt. Are they really not at the zoo? Are they sure they aren’t looking at docile animals that have been domesticated?
He couldn’t sense the scariness of a death jungle at all. He could only feel the deliciousness of the jungle = v =
Yesterday’s barbecue was so amazing……
Yan Qiyue was completely assimilated by foodies.
“We are about to enter the inner circle soon.” Shao Qing, who was very relaxed, became vigilant. There was a reason for her to relax before. There was no danger in the outer edge of the jungle, at least for them.
But now entering the inner circle, Shao Qing cannot guarantee their safety.
They walked all the way and found many man eating flowers. Unfortunately, these man eating flowers were not of high rank.
Shao Qing didn’t even have the idea of ??collecting the corrosive liquid.
“Everyone be on your guard.” Shao Qing said very seriously. When the group heard Shao Qing, everyone became a lot more vigilant.
Especially Er Dai. He listened to Shao Qing the most. His ears were erected, striving to put all the nearby sounds into his ears, to identify where was dangerous and where was safe. This would allow him to protect Shao Qing better.
They approached places that were suitable for the growth of man eating flowers, trying to find higher-ranking ones to collect some corrosive liquids. After collecting some, they could also get Da Hua to swallow some.
Devouring the same kind could make Da Hua grow faster. Moreover, it would show favor to Shao Qing. Shao Qing can also get a lot of benefits. It can be said that they were killing two birds with one stone.
But since entering into the inner circle, they have been there for two days and have not encountered any living creatures……
