Chapter 35

When Gu Xi helped the two sisters of the Qin family pack up the cabbage in the field and returned to the other side of the stream, Wei Heng had already gone back to steam the sweet potatoes, and was peeling the tomatoes right now...

Wei Heng has long discovered that Gu Xi is not a picky girl, and usually eats whatever she has, but among all the vegetables, she seems to particularly like to eat sweet and sour tomatoes?
And when she eats tomatoes, she has another characteristic - she never eats tomato skins.

After the apocalypse, food has become extremely precious, and no one would waste food. Gu Xi, a person who eats watermelon and even eats up the skin of the watermelon, chooses not to eat the skin of the tomato. This is obviously not because of pickiness...

Wei Heng is a very careful person. After discovering this, when he makes tomatoes again, he will carefully peel the skins every time...

But this time, Gu Xi stared at the peeled tomato in his hand, but frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Wei Heng raised his head and asked.

"It's nothing." Gu Xi was thinking about other things in his mind, so he said casually: "I just suddenly thought that there was a famous dish before the end of the world - tomato and egg soup..."

This time, Wei Heng's brows also frowned.

After the end of the world, although chickens have mutated, they still lay eggs.

And the size of the egg was bigger than the mouth of the bowl.

It's just the taste... It's hard to describe in words.

After Wei Heng was tricked into eating eggs once when he was a child, he has never touched that thing since then.

This is also why, although Wei Heng has always wanted to make up for Gu Xi's body, he never thought of cooking her a few eggs or stewing a pot of chicken soup - eating those things would kill her!

Now that Gu Xi suddenly mentioned this, he thought she was curious and wanted to try it. After thinking about it, he gently persuaded him: "Actually, tomato soup without eggs is also quite delicious..."

Just at this moment, Shen Yue came over in a rush for the meal.

Gu Xi glanced behind him, but she didn't find that person, and even Qi Xiang didn't come back.

It seems that Wei Heng knows that person very well, and his guess is right...

"Is the meal ready?" Shen Yue went to the kitchen familiarly and brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and squatted next to the two of them, with half a sweet potato in his mouth.

Wei Heng looked up at him, very speechless: "..."

Shen Yue suddenly said, "Ye Junhan protected Ye Nan and the two professors and went to the forest again last night..."

Although the two professors are ordinary people and don't know much about X energy, they are professionals in botany. After Ye Nan analyzed the sample data of the mutated locust tree brought back, the two professors immediately expressed of great interest.

No, they didn't even have time for lunch, so Ye Junhan took them into the woods.

Gu Xi thought for a while, then turned her head and asked him, "Qi Xiang has gone too?"

Shen Yue nodded, and turned his head to look at her: "You seem to be... very interested in Qi Xiang?"

Gu Xi met his probing eyes, without avoiding them: "Her abilities are very interesting."

"Really?" Shen Yue shrugged, seemingly saying it casually, but in fact he blatantly tried: "I thought you were interested in that Dr. Qi..."

Gu Xi couldn't help but take another look at him, this man's acumen was not inferior to Wei Heng's.

But she neither admitted nor denied, but instead asked: "The two professors have entered the forest, so why didn't you go?"

Shen Yue has always been in charge of the security work of the two professors. It makes no sense that the two professors entered the forest, but Shen Yue, the security officer, did not.

Shen Yue got up and swallowed the remaining sweet potatoes, leaned back lazily, and glanced at Wei Heng next to him: "With Ye Junhan here, I don't have to go..."

Wei Heng lowered his head and put the peeled tomato in a basin beside him. After wiping his hands, he turned around and added a handful of firewood to the stove.

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly: Why does she feel that the atmosphere between these two men is a little weird?

……

In the afternoon, a few young people had nothing to do and went to open a few acres of land at the foot of the unowned barren hill next to them, and decided to plant another crop of big watermelons and send them to the front line of Hengshan.

During this period, Professor Zhao and others did not come out of the forest.

From time to time, Shen Yue would take a meaningful look at Gu Xi, which was blatantly blatant.

And Gu Xi acted as if he didn't see it, the emotion on his face didn't fluctuate at all.

On the contrary, Wei Heng couldn't stand it any longer. She didn't want her to clean up after one kind of watermelon, so he hurriedly pushed Gu Xi back to rest.

Gu Xi didn't force it either.

The weather in the afternoon was not bad, the sky was clear and the sun was warm without drying people.

Gu Xi didn't go back to the house either, but moved out a reclining chair, leaned against the corner to bask in the sun, and listened to the radio slowly.

Another thing was on my mind:

Seeing Wei Heng peeling the tomato at noon reminded her that now the energy in the mutated pagoda tree is wrapped by her supernatural power, just like the skins of the tomato, no one will touch it naturally.

But once that layer of skin is lifted, those weird energies that were previously suppressed by her abilities will grow explosively.

At that time, the mutated locust tree is very likely to undergo a malignant transformation in a very short period of time.

At that time, it will be another troublesome matter.

You must know that from the information disclosed by Xu Yiersan, the places where the previous cases of xenoplantation malignant transformation occurred are far apart.

In the vicinity of Camp No. 9527, there have been two cases of xenoplantation malignant transformation in a short period of time.

If at this time, there is another xenoplantation malignant transformation incident nearby... then Camp 9527 will probably become the focus of everyone's attention.

This is obviously not a good thing for Gu Xi, at least for the current Gu Xi.

So this matter cannot be delayed.

It has to be resolved as soon as possible.

At this moment, Shen Yue suddenly swayed over.

Gu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.It seems that Wei Heng still failed to guard against him.

Shen Yue took a look at her, went to the house familiarly, brought out another recliner, lay comfortably beside Gu Xi, and turned his head to look over: "Are you listening to the radio again?"

He found that the girl seemed to like listening to the radio very much. Since she bought this antique radio, she listened to it almost every day.

Gu Xi responded casually.

Shen Yue's eyes fell on the somewhat old dictionary in her hand, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you look at this?"

Gu Xi: "I didn't study much, and I didn't go to school seriously... Now it's rare to settle down, my life is leisurely, and I can calm down when I have time... Just take a look."

When Li Ming designated the cipher book as a dictionary, Qi Ran laughed at him, saying that these days, even old pedants don't live with dictionaries.

After all, these post-apocalyptic days are really too difficult.Even if it is difficult to live, who would live with those useless books all day long?
The nostalgia and sadness in Gu Xi's eyes flashed past.

Shen Yue looked at her, sat up suddenly from the recliner, touched his chin with one hand and said, "Is that so... I have studied for a few years, how about I teach you?"

Gu Xi raised her eyes slightly, stared at him for a while, "...Okay."

As she spoke, she directly handed the dictionary in her hand to Shen Yue.

Shen Yue was not too polite, took the dictionary and coughed twice, and rarely restrained his habitual sloppy face, and solemnly flipped through the "textbook" he had just received.

Suddenly, the man flicked through the dictionary, pointed to a word on a certain page, and asked Gu Xi: "Do you know this word?"

Gu Xi followed his direction and looked over, raising his eyebrows slightly: "A demon?"

Shen Yue suddenly exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Gu Xiaoxi, you are amazing, you know such difficult words..." There was a bit of a teasing smile on his face.

Gu Xi was very speechless, and said with a dull face: "...Although I don't read much, I am not illiterate." There is no problem with reading and writing.

You know, she grew up in the Ability Research Institute since she was a child.

And where is the Ability Research Institute?That is the place where high-level intellectuals gather in piles!

So even though Gu Xi didn't read much and didn't go to school seriously, but under the influence of her ears and eyes, she was able to know a few words without any problem... What's more, Li Ming taught her a lot when she was young.

but……

Gu Xi's eyes once again fell on the words under the man's fingertips - demons and monsters?
Is this hinting at her?

Thinking about it carefully, Shen Yue was indeed a little abnormal today.

He is the security officer of the two professors. It is said that when the two professors entered the forest, he, the security officer, would follow no matter what.

——No matter how powerful Ye Junhan is, if he encounters an emergency, he may not be able to protect so many people alone in a dense forest!

What's more, the two professors are ordinary people, and they are both old... If something happens, it will be all the responsibility of him, the security officer.

But this person did not follow.

Gu Xi recalled Shen Yue's expression and tone, and the look he gave Wei Heng when he mentioned this matter at noon...

Gu Xi withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes slightly.It seems that Ye Junhan's trip has another purpose.

And the person in front of him... I'm afraid he has reached some kind of tacit understanding with that person.

Under the shattered sunlight, a gust of breeze hits, carrying the unique fragrance of grass and trees.

At the same time, the sweet voice of the announcer came from the old radio: "Listener friends, let's listen to an old song together..."

Gu Xi raised her eyes and took a deep look at this person.

Then, under the unwavering gaze of the other party, he reached out and took back his own dictionary, turned to a certain page in it, pushed it over, tilted his head and asked him seriously: "I don't really understand the explanation of this word..."

She began to try to recall the way the two devil professors asked questions in class, and then turned on the paste and copy mode...

Ten minutes later, Shen Yue fled in despair.
