The golden sky is falling, and the ground that has been exposed to the sun for a day is as hot as a steamer. Through the window, you can see the burning clouds all over the sky.With the continuous operation of the air conditioner, the room was cool and comfortable. Jiang Rong and his son didn't feel hot at all.

At this moment, their father and son are calling Chu Qiang's family. Chu Qiang and the others have been driving on the highway for three days, and they haven't left the boundary of City C yet.

In the video, Chu Qiang's eyes are bloodshot, and his voice is hoarse, "I can't go ahead, it is said to be blocked. I am going to take the national highway from the next ramp. It may take a lot of detours, but it should be safer."

The scene he saw along the way was horrific, not to mention the car accidents all over the place, those horrible corpses made Chu Qiang, a senior man, feel scared from the bottom of his heart.It's fine for mutated animals and plants to harass them, but the people who are supposed to survive together are divided into different ranks.He has seen many incidents of roadblocking, robbery and even murder.

He has never felt that he is so close to death. He used to express his emotions at most, but now death can happen anytime and anywhere.He didn't dare to rest, for fear that a wrong decision would destroy the whole family.

At this moment, his heart was full of fear, he regretted, he regretted not listening to Jiang Rong's advice and taking his parents back to his hometown early.They can obviously live a peaceful life in their hometown, why should they worry about it on the road?

Looking at the exhaustion and anxiety in Chu Qiang's eyes, Jiang Rong was also worried.But they were hundreds of miles apart, and they couldn't help even if they wanted to.He could only comfort Chu Qiang, "Okay, it's good to take the national highway. Remember to fill up the fuel tank. If you can't fill up the gas station and service area passing by, you can see if you can get it in the fuel tank of the broken down car on the side of the road.some out."

In his previous life, he relied on this method to successfully drive his car to the peace base, hoping that this trick would help Chu Qiang and the others.

Chu Qiang wiped his face, "I see." After a pause, Chu Qiang lowered his voice, "Xiaojiang, do you think God doesn't want to give humans a way out?"

Jiang Rong encouraged, "Don't talk nonsense, haven't you awakened the enhanced ability? God really wants our lives, so we have no reason to survive. Don't think too much, drive well. If the national road is not good, just take the provincial road.You can't save the road..."

Before Jiang Rong could finish speaking, the call interface suddenly went dark.At the same time, the electrical appliances at home went on strike and stopped. Jiang Xiaoheng held up the children's phone in a daze, "Dad, the phone was cut off suddenly, and I haven't said goodbye to my grandparents yet."

Jiang Rong held the phone and his heart sank heavily. He glanced at the screen of the phone, and the signal on the screen had disappeared.It seems that the civilian electricity in city D has been cut off, and from today on, he can no longer make or receive calls on his mobile phone.

At this time, the home appliances that had been on strike made beeping sounds after being powered on, and the battery panels on the roof of Jiang Rong's house officially started working.The cool wind blowing on his body couldn't dispel the irritability in Jiang Rong's heart. Now he can only hope that Chu Qiang and his family will return to their hometown as soon as possible.

After the power outage, the original TV programs could not be received.Jiang Xiaoheng turned around with the remote control in his arms and stared at the screen disappointedly, "Dad... the Meow Meow team is gone."

Jiang Rong calmed down, and pulled the remote control out of Jiang Xiaoheng's hand, "You've watched the show for a long time today, and you can't watch it anymore. Let's go out for activities with Dad."

Ever since he got the wood-type ability, Jiang Rong has seriously studied the use of his ability.After his confirmation, a light blue light cluster can be produced on his body.This kind of light group can make plants stronger. Plants that are about to die can become energetic when they encounter this kind of light group. After encountering this light group, mutated plants will be particularly friendly.

Jiang Rong felt that his awakened wood power was no different from other wood power users.In the previous life in the peace base, many wood-type abilities were left in the base to grow vegetables because of this ability, so wood-type abilities, space and healing-type abilities were all included in the list of auxiliary abilities.

He thought this ability was very good. If used properly, he and his son might be able to eat fresh vegetables.

If he had known that he could awaken wood-type abilities, he would have set up a vegetable greenhouse in the yard.But it's not too late to do it now, these two days, when the morning and evening are a little cooler, Jiang Rong is clearing up wasteland outside the courtyard.

On the east side of his yard, there is a flat land with an area of about two or three mu.From the ridge to the east is the mountain road into the mountain. This was once the vegetable field of grandparents. When the old couple were alive, green vegetables could be seen in the vegetable field even in the coldest winter.After the two elders passed away, the vegetable field was not taken care of, and it was already full of weeds.

In the hot weather, most of the delicate grasses have already wilted, but the hardy Humulus is growing vigorously.Humulus is a vine with fine barbs growing on its body, and it feels sticky when touched lightly.If someone brushes past it inadvertently, bloodstains will definitely be left on the skin.

Jiang Rong was often harmed by this thing when he was a child. Once he and Chu Qiang ran all over the mountains and fields, and fell into a humulus nest.If grandpa and grandma didn't come to find them, they don't know how long they would be entangled by humulus.

After the big crisis, Humulus also began to mutate, the vines were thicker than before, and the barbs on them became harder.It's not as simple as leaving a bloodstain if you accidentally wiped it from the side.

If you want to have a vegetable field, you must first get rid of these nasty humulus.It took Jiang Rong two days to clean up a small piece. The entangled humulus was intertwined and intertwined. It was obviously an annual plant, and it felt like it was king of the mountain.

As soon as he went out, Jiang Xiaoheng was scared by the heat wave outside and took two steps back.He looked hesitantly at the sun-baked concrete floor in the courtyard, and a look of resistance appeared on the white bun's face, "Dad, it's so hot."

Jiang Rong casually put the duckling sun hat on his son's head, "A real man dares to face the hot sun, Xiaoheng, are you a man?"

Jiang Xiaoheng raised his small fist and responded loudly to his father, "I am! I am a man!"

Jiang Rong deftly stuffed a gardening shovel into his son's hand, and he was already very good at fooling his son, "Hey~ That's right, you should go dig sand on the beach in the park and let us enjoy it."Have fun working~”

Jiang Xiaoheng became even more excited when he heard it, and rushed out of the yard as soon as the door opened.I saw him holding up the gardening shovel in his hand and shouting: "Le Le hurry up, let's dig the sand~"

Le Le shook her head and ran ahead, and the two of them ran out of the yard after a while.

Jiang Rong followed them not far or near, and as soon as he went out, he saw a big prickly pear hanging on the west courtyard wall, "Little fairy, stand up straight." After receiving the order, the prickly pear straightened up again, and the huge prickly pear hung on the wall.Shadows enveloped the small half of the yard.

However, after walking two steps, Jiang Rong saw from the corner of his eye that the little fairy had tilted her body towards the courtyard wall again.It shook the thorns leisurely, and hummed the nursery rhyme it heard today in Jiang Rong's mind.

A few meters to the east after walking out of the yard, you can see a jujube tree full of flowers.Off-white jujube flowers fell from time to time, and the ground was covered with a layer of fine jujube flowers.Jiang Rong walked to the jujube tree and touched it with his hand. The leaves of the jujube tree seemed to have been waxed, and they were shiny again.

On the east side of the jujube tree, there are five or six steps leading to the vegetable field below. When he arrived, Jiang Xiaoheng had already aimed a small shovel at the stem of Humulus and tried hard to shovel it.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but as soon as Jiang Rong got close to the humulus bushes, the humulus became excited.They swayed the tender leaves in the direction of Jiang Rong, and many vines were slowly crawling in the direction of Jiang Rong.It's just that their movements are very slow. If Jiang Rong's five senses were not much more sensitive than before, he would not be able to detect them at all.

Jiang Rong felt that he might be a big piece of fertilizer in the eyes of Variation Lingzhi.The abilities radiating from his body are too attractive to mutant spiritual plants. For safety reasons, he should block the abilities.But he was still in the groping stage, and he couldn't move freely, so he could only grope slowly.

Compared with Jiang Xiaoheng's haphazard chopping, Jiang Rong has already figured out a way to deal with Humulus.Humulus is a single-year plant. As long as its root system is found and cut off, the vines on it will stop growing without supplies.Without the supply of roots, humulus will quickly wither in the sun.

Holding a sickle in his hand, Jiang Rong walked slowly into the humulus bushes, cutting off the vines that got in the way from time to time, looking for the root system.After fumbling around for a while, Jiang Rong found a large nest of Humulus roots.There are several Humulus trees in this litter, and the root system of each tree is as thick as a banyan's thumb.

Handling Humulus requires full armor. If the exposed skin is accidentally scratched, the skin will feel hot and painful like being burned.Jiang Rong bent down and did not work for a while, but his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Just when he finished cutting the last Humulus, Le Le suddenly screamed in the direction of the mountain road.Jiang Rong looked over in surprise, and saw that Le Le lowered her body, the hair on her neck was blown off, revealing a fierce look.

Le Le is a family-raised idiot who always sticks out his tongue and smiles.Jiang Xiaoheng saw such a fierce Le Le for the first time. He bent down and touched Lele's head while looking towards the mountain road, "There is nothing..."

Jiang Rong's fine hairs exploded like Lele's. In his previous life, he often saw Le Le turn into this appearance whenever he saw a violent mutant animal.Although he didn't know what was coming up the mountain road, Jiang Rong said to Jiang Xiaoheng without hesitation: "Son, run, run home with Lele!"

While speaking, he also ran towards home.However, now his feet are deep into the humulus bushes, let alone running, even if he walks, he can feel his feet being caught by the tendons of the grass.

Jiang Xiaoheng was dazed by this sudden turn of events, he stood there blankly holding a small shovel, until Jiang Rong suddenly raised his voice, "Run!" He came back to his senses and ran towards home.

The mutated Humulus was extremely tough, and the more anxious Jiang Rong was, the more he couldn't escape.At this time, the roar of wild boar was heard on the mountain road, and Jiang Rong's face sank when he heard this sound.

Oops.

People in the mountains are most afraid of wild animals in the mountains, among which wild boars and poisonous snakes have always been at the top of the list of wounding people.Poisonous snakes don't take the initiative to hurt people, as long as they don't enter its territory, there will be no accidents.But wild boars are different. They are violent and like to run around in groups.

It can be judged from the sound of pigs that the wild boars in the mountain must be quite big.If they catch up with them, they will either die or be injured.

Seeing that the pig's cry was getting closer, he was getting more and more entangled by the humulus.In desperation, an idea popped into Jiang Rong's mind: These humulus have no need to exist at all, it would be nice if they were all dead.

As soon as the voice fell, he felt his heartbeat suddenly stop, and the world instantly became quiet.Many turquoise light groups appeared on the humulus, and these light groups flew towards Jiang Rong as if they were guided by something.The moment the turquoise light group touched Jiang Rong's skin, it was absorbed by him, and he felt his body become very light.

The Humulus tangled around Jiang Rong's body began to die in large areas, the originally fresh branches drooped, and the dark green leaves quickly became dry.In an instant, the humulus bushes lost their vitality and became a dead meadow.

Jiang Rong was stunned for a moment, what's going on?

At this time, Jiang Xiaoheng had already run outside the gate, and he shouted anxiously at Jiang Rong: "Dad, hurry up, Dad!"

The hasty cry awakened Jiang Rong's consciousness. Now is not the time to be in a daze. If a wild boar finds out, it is very likely that he will die today.

This time, Jiang Rong was finally able to free himself from the humulus bushes easily, and he galloped in the direction of the house with both feet.When he ran back to the gate and was about to close it, two huge wild boars appeared on the mountain road one after the other.

The courtyard door of Jiang Rong's house is very heavy, and it takes a while to close the door.Just as the father and son were waiting for the gate to close, the rear one of the two wild boars suddenly let out a miserable roar, and then fell down with a bang, rolling over and over on the mountain road.

The screams gradually weakened, and after a while, the wild boar fell to the ground and did not move.

The one in front ran wildly along the mountain road, its two hind hooves kept throwing back, as if it wanted to throw something away.After a jerk, the wild boar rushed towards Jiang Rong's vegetable field out of control.

The vegetable field is full of dry humulus, and the wild boar tripped over the grass tendons and fell to the ground as soon as it rushed in.Under normal circumstances, the soft meadow and soil will not cause any harm to wild boars, and wild boars can get up quickly even if they fall.

However, the wild boar howled like the one that fell down before. It kept rolling on the ground, and the howling startled the birds in the forest to fly.

With keen eyes, Jiang Rong noticed that when the wild boar was rolling, there were black and red things falling from its body.That thing was like a tide, climbing up from under the wild boar, covering the whole pig in a short while.

The wild boar's screams became weaker and weaker. When the black and red flooded its head, it struggled a few times and lost its life.

And Jiang Rong, who saw the black and red, had all his hairs standing on end: the tide-like black and red are mutated ants!A mutated ant that no one survives wherever it passes!
