Interstellar Boss, Doomsday

Chapter 63 Going out hunting

They drove away from the villa area.

The vegetation on Qingya Mountain was already lush, and the impact of those swept away by the violent floods had long since disappeared without a trace after the natural growth under the sunshine in the past few days. Everywhere is full of life, tender grass sprouts emerge from the soil, holding dew in their mouths facing the bright sunshine, making people feel that the four seasons have turned to spring.

It's just that in the green gloom, there is no live embellishment of the chirping of insects and birds. The wheels rolled over the uneven dirt road, and except for the roar of the car engine and the sound of wind in the ears as the vehicle progressed, it was particularly quiet.

It was so quiet that it was a bit scary.

Lou Jingce turned the steering wheel, and the navigation phone was still in the same position as before, but it no longer reported the location coordinates as before. The phone is surprisingly quiet, just like the surrounding environment. It is so quiet that one wonders if it has run out of power and shut down.

"Where are we going?" Turning onto the suburban road that was familiar in the past but now completely different, Lou Jingce glanced at the rearview mirror and asked.

"Go where there are many people."

Where there are many people, there are bound to be many zombies. As long as there are too many zombies, crystal nuclei will naturally be indispensable.

Lou Jingce responded and Mingji looked outside the car.

Everywhere you look outside the car is green, with vegetation sprouting from between the cracks in the rocks, from under the cracked cement of the road, from the ruins of reinforced concrete buildings, and facing upwards in the wind. It seems that the disaster has passed, and there is life and happiness everywhere.

This morning, after Lou Jingce left, Mingji asked Xingxing to move the pot of sunflowers he placed on the windowsill to Lou Jingce's bedroom. But in just one day, the sunflower grew very fast. Yesterday it was only an inch tall, but now it is taller than the knees.

The golden flower disk is like a small sun, chasing the footsteps of the sun in the sky.

Plants are growing rapidly for many reasons, including previous floods or changes in the plant's genes. How big they can grow is anyone's guess.

"It seems that we won't be able to live in the villa for too long."

Mingji calculated the growth rate of these plants, and the stars listed various sets of data flashing in his eyes. He soon came to such a conclusion.

"What? How could that happen?"

His words startled Lou Jingce and Zuo Tanghua, who were focused on driving.

Zuo Tanghua's reaction was not small, causing Lou Jingce to take another look at him.

Mingji moved the hand covering his mouth downwards, supported his chin and explained to him.

"Didn't we get rid of all the plants five hundred meters around the villa yesterday? I looked at it when we came out just now, and the circle shrunk a little. You should have cleaned it up again this morning, Zuo Tanghua, right?"

Could it be that it will always be there from now on ? Fighting a war of attrition between growing and clearing?

"That's not a problem. We can surround the villa as we did before."

Zuo Tanghua's suggestion was interrupted by Mingji's shaking head.

"That's the big question."

"Plants grow upwards and take root naturally downwards." Seeing that they were still puzzled, Mingji asked a terrible question: "Plants need soil nutrients to grow, right? Guess this mountain is Qingya Mountain The plants just grow like this, no plants die and degrade into nutrients and return to the earth, and no herbivorous animals participate in consumption... The cycle is broken, and the vegetation alone takes root and continues to grow downwards. How long will it take for the mountain to be exhausted? "
