Thinking of Yueya'er, Zhang Xiaoqiang searched the female soldiers. Suddenly, he saw a pair of dark green eyes secretly staring at him. The moment their gazes met, the pair of eyes with a trace of grief suddenly disappeared. Zhang Xiaoqiang's vision was blocked by the dense group of female soldiers, and he could no longer find the owner of the eyes.
Zhang Xiaoqiang let out a long sigh, and closed his eyes as he leaned back in his chair to rest. He recognized the pair of eyes just now, they were Yueya'er's eyes. Yueya'er's eyes were different from others, but Zhang Xiaoqiang had already decided not to interact with the owner of the pair of eyes anymore, and thus did not deliberately try to pry.
Before the apocalypse, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not understand women very well, and after the apocalypse, he still did not understand them. Su Qian, whom he liked, had betrayed him, and the people he hated, Yuan Yi and Shangguan Qiaoyun, had become his closest people. There was also the arrogant and weak Mu Peipei, who had accidentally become the mother of his child.
Towards women, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not have much resistance. However, he was not blindly promiscuous. After having three women, his feelings towards women started to fade. After arriving at the Central Plains, he had tens of thousands of women under his command, and as long as he wanted them, no one would dare to reject him. However, he still held onto them. It was just that when he reached Eliza's place, something unexpected happened. This could also be due to his curiosity towards foreign girls, and the thought of winning glory for the country was also a large part of it.
Eliza and Yueya'er were the two women who were closest to him in the Central Plains, and there had been ambiguous moments between them. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang had his own insistence, he would not change himself for a woman. If the woman could not change herself to keep up with his footsteps, he would not stop and wait. Eliza was like this, and so was Yueya'er.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang's mind was tangled with the two women. Suddenly, a furry thing went along his collar and burrowed into his clothes. Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a big furry tail. Zhang Xiaoqiang grabbed the tail and pulled, like pulling a carrot. He pulled Flash out from his collar, and saw that Flash was holding a large peanut-like fruit in its claws.
Following that, Flash was snatched away by a small white hand. Turning his head, he saw Meow holding Flash while muttering, "Hmph!
You still know to come back. Where have you been all morning?
You're becoming more and more disobedient. Thinking back, if it weren't for me, you would have starved to death. Now that you've grown up, you won't listen to me? "
Meow lectured Flash like a little adult, but Zhang Xiaoqiang grabbed the fruit in Flash's hands and snatched it away. Then, he smiled at Meow and said, "Let's split it in half. The things that this guy gets can't be wrong..."
After saying that, Zhang Xiao Qiang felt that something was wrong. He didn't think too much about it and used both his hands to try to pry open the fruit. Of course, he could only think about it. The fruit was so heavy that he couldn't pry it open no matter how hard he tried. Instead, his teeth almost fell out. Even the military knife was useless. In the end, he used the Rat King Blade. In the end, Zhang Xiao Qiang sadly thought that this was just an unknown object that looked like a fruit.
Holding this peanut-like fruit with linen veins, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head to look at Flash. Flash was crying in Meow's kneading, and there was no reaction to the fruit in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand. Obviously, Flash also suffered a lot from this fruit.
"What the hell is this?
Why is it so hard? "
Zhang Xiaoqiang repeatedly studied this peanut, which was about the size of a walnut, and wondered if it was a plant. Suddenly, an off-road military vehicle rushed over. Wang Xin didn't wait for the vehicle to stop and shouted anxiously, "Zhang Xiaoqiang... something happened in the mountain town..."
Wang Xin's shout made Zhang Xiao Qiang stunned, and then cold sweat came out. The first thing he thought of was in the mountain town. There were dozens of type 2 zombies and hundreds of evolved zombies in the virus research institute. If these zombies ran out, the mountain town with only air defense forces would be completely destroyed … ….
"Creak..."
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't wait for the military vehicle to completely stop. He opened the door and jumped out, rushed to the side of Wang Xin's military vehicle, and shouted:
"How many people died, and is Li Haiyun in the virus laboratory still alive..."
Zhang Xiaoqiang was planning a big counterattack, but the research work in the mountain town had not been put down. Although Zhang Xiaoqiang moved the Botany Research Institute to Helan Canyon, the mountain town still left the virus laboratory and the Botany Research Institute branch.
The one in trouble wasn't Li Haiyun, but the Botany Research Institute's branch. Zhang Xiao Qiang had planted a Dragon Tooth Tree in the mountain town. Every day, he would use the corrosive fluid of hundreds of zombies to water it.
In less than a month, the original seedling had grown into a towering tree. Every day, it grew one to two meters higher, so that the top of the tree was at least 50 meters above the ground. At the same time, the tree also developed horizontally. Countless roots overturned the soil at the root, and then quickly expanded. Until yesterday, the diameter of the tree was more than eight meters wide.
Zhang Xiaoqiang planted this tree only for the fruit, but this tree only grew tall and did not bear fruit. Zhang Xiaoqiang had already given up and no longer cared about it. The Botany Research Institute did not think so. They saw another thing on this tree, the fast-growing forest. Because of the relationship with zombies, the tree grew too fast, even faster than the water growing bean sprouts.
So the Research Institute decided to leave a branch and use the tree as a research topic. Every day, they guaranteed 50 to 80 ordinary zombies as fertilizer. Under the continuous fertilization, the tree seemed to have no peak and kept growing rapidly. Just when the Research Institute decided to stop fertilization, cut down the tree, and made it into logs to evaluate the quality of the wood.
The tree seemed to finally understand that the little thing below did not look at its height, but at its fruit. Overnight, countless white flowers bloomed one after another, attracting countless mutant insects to wander among the flowers.
The tree bloomed at night, and the area around the tree was always filled with the stench of corpses. The sudden blooming of the flowers dispelled the stench, and the fragrance of the flowers filled the entire mountain plain.
At this time, anyone who smelled the fragrance of the flowers suddenly became spirited, as if they had eaten a great tonic. Everyone was full of energy. Even the zombies that smelled the fragrance of the flowers began to become irritable, and constantly attacked the iron cage, trying to break free.
Just when the Virus Research Institute was busy controlling the zombies, the fragrance of the flowers finally attracted a group of uninvited guests. More than 10 mutant birds arrived on the tree in the middle of the night, as if they were waiting. The soldiers guarding the tree used night vision goggles to investigate the number of incoming mutant birds, and mistakenly thought that these mutant birds were only temporarily staying overnight. They reported it to Zhou Xiong of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Zhou Xiong did not report what he thought was a small matter to Zhang Xiaoqiang.
However, Zhou Xiong knew the purpose of Zhang Xiaoqiang planting the tree. Once it bloomed, it would bear fruit, and these fruits could not be lost. That night, more than 10 anti-aircraft cannons and anti-aircraft machine guns were taken out, just in case. The anti-aircraft company of the Second Regiment also took out their personal anti-aircraft missile, the Vanguard-2.
When it was midnight, all the mutant birds rose into the air, and the soldiers below heaved a sigh of relief. Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the bowl-sized white flowers began to wither, and one by one, green Dragon Tooth Fruits appeared in the center of the tree.
As the sun rose, the Dragon Tooth Fruits also slowly turned from green to red. When all the fruits turned red, an unprecedented fragrance once again covered the entire mountain plains. For a moment, everyone who smelled this fragrance was intoxicated. Only the researcher who used to collect the bug flowers suddenly remembered that it was the fragrance of the fruit shell that Eliza had lent him.
If Zhang Xiaoqiang was here, he would definitely let people pick all the Dragon Tooth Fruits, that was the kind of fruit that Shan Ying had found, but the people below did not dare to move. They all wanted to wait for Zhang Xiaoqiang to come and personally decide. Just when Zhou Xiong was preparing to report to Zhang Xiaoqiang, those mutant birds appeared again, and their target was the treetop of the tree.
The anti-aircraft troops who had been waiting for half the night opened fire without thinking. In their opinion, the fruit tree was the target they needed to protect. Although when they first fired, the firepower net had not yet been established, and the firing time was also uneven, those mutant birds had never experienced the attacks of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons. The one in the lead was hit in the neck by five consecutive rounds of artillery, and the continuous explosions broke the mutant bird's neck in half.
After the first mutant bird fell, all the other mutant birds were immediately enraged. When they flew in all directions, two more mutant birds were covered by the firepower net and torn to pieces in an instant.
There were a total of twelve mutant birds, the largest of which had a wingspan of nearly twenty meters, and its entire body was larger than a truck. Its fur was gray, and its claws were like spears, slender and curved. If Zhang Xiaoqiang and Meow were here, they would recognize this mutant bird as the one that had appeared during the recapture of Alxa.
If Ishihara was here, he would also recognize this flock of mutant birds as the ones that had caused the destruction of the helicopter fleet. Three mutant birds were lost in a short period of time. Under the cry of the leading mutant bird, nine mutant birds flew together into the sky. Just as they were about to fly out of the range of bullets and cannons, two white anti-air rockets caught up and blew up two of the mutant birds into a mist of blood.
This time, there were only seven mutant birds left in the flock. The seven mutant birds cried sadly under the clouds, but the soldiers below rejoiced. Unexpectedly, when the mutant birds swooped down again …
