Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 246 246. Air pollution survival mode ([-])
The damage to the ventilation ducts is getting more and more serious, and the cracks are like spider webs.

But now there is no time to care.

Lin Sen and other former plumbers have already "changed careers" and become part of the in-demand labor force on the ground.

Now that the decision has been made and they want to give it a try and return to life on the ground, the town leader led everyone to relax, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Everyone is looking forward to seeing their brand new home soon.

Day [-] of the game.

After soaking all the seeds that could be collected underground in the water of life and successfully transplanting them, Tang Qinqin greeted everyone and began his treasure hunt on the ground.

These "treasures" are plant seeds that may have survived under shelters such as buildings on the ground.

She also obtained a detailed map of the original black town from the person in charge, with the main targets being the farmer's flower and bird market, seed shops, etc.

The natural psychic ability was like an automatic "life detector" at this time, allowing Tang Qinqin to discover many unexpected surprises under the many ruins.

When she arrived at the largest flower and bird market in Black Town, there was already a large group of people following behind her.

As a large grass and tree commercial street, the Flower and Bird Market is located in the suburbs of the city, covering a large area and having a broad layout.

Compared with the tragic collapse scene after the buildings in the crowd gathering area "injured each other", the buildings in this market are quite well preserved.

Because the disaster struck suddenly and people were busy running for survival, the doors of almost all stores were open, and the situation inside was clear at a glance.

The large flowers and trees placed outside the store as signboards have withered into ashes after being exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, leaving only empty pots with compacted soil.

The flower shelves in the store are lined with beautiful potted plants of different sizes. The beautiful flowers and plants inside were once colorful, but now the plants are wilted and yellow, hanging lifelessly on the edge of the pots.

Not that the whole army was wiped out. Tang Qinqin discovered that many aloe vera plants, cacti, etc. were still alive and tenaciously surviving to this day.

Being able to survive in such a small space as a flower pot for more than ten years, their vitality is really impressive.

Some fruit-bearing potted plants such as kumquat trees, bergamots, winter red fruits, winter corals, perfume lemons, etc. Although the trunks and leaves have withered and fallen, there are many seeds hidden in their shriveled fruits, which gave Tang Qinqin a rich harvest.

Among them, kumquats and bergamot are suitable for slightly acidic soil and can be transplanted to improved land. They may be used as special cash crops in the black town in the future.

She tried to explore the roots of plants in all the pots.

Those who are still alive can be rescued by feeding them water of life; those who have lost their vitality can be turned into nutrients in the soil to create new life.

Behind him, a bunch of spiders, insects, and mice that Tang Qinqin had snatched from under the ruins helped to find the fruits and seeds that had fallen in the corners. Soon, the collected seeds piled up into a hill.

"Okay, then please take these back first." Tang Qinqin gave the order.

It is unrealistic to expect black town residents with poor eyesight to travel such a distance to transport them. This group of small animals with nimble legs and feet is just right.

They deliver seeds, and she's responsible for larger items like rejuvenating plant roots and cacti.

In the store in the market that specializes in selling ornamental flowers, birds, fish and insects, most of the birds have turned into bones in their cages, with their feathers scattered all over the floor. However, there are still a few skinny bald parrots, huddled warily in the corner of the room, round and round. Liu Liu tried his best to open his eyes wide and stared at Tang Qinqin who suddenly appeared.

The fish in the aquarium have disappeared, leaving only a lonely tank of water covered with green algae.

The water was not turbid, and the fish couldn't fly. Tang Qinqin was willing to bet that they probably entered the parrot's belly.

This group of captive beings need to rely on humans to survive. If they want to survive independently, they must face even more severe challenges.

……

Return to the ground to plant the base.

The seeds have been successfully sown, and the surviving plant roots have been specially cared for.

When night comes, people who have been busy in the fields for a day are content to carry their reclamation tools and end their work for the day.

Everyone is full of hope before going to bed, looking forward to the next day.

In the early morning of the fifth day of the game, the weather was unfavorable and it started to rain again.

The rain turned from light to heavy and became more and more intense.

The security team, who had noticed it was raining today last night, rushed into the rain as soon as possible, trying to protect the seedlings that had not yet taken root from the wind and rain.

The howling wind knocked all the raindrops on them. Although they were wearing protective clothing, the slightest burning sensation seemed to seep into their skin through the clothing.

The growing sound of rain woke up more and more sleeping people.

"It's broken, it's raining!"

"Quick, quick, we have to protect them!"

"Get up, it's raining!"

People rushed to tell each other, and then plunged into the rain without hesitation.

Qin Zhuo stood up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Grandma Ning.

"Xiao Zhuo, is it raining outside?"

"It's raining, grandma. It sounds very loud. I won't tell you for now. Grandma, I have to go there quickly." Xiao Zhuo quickly put on his clothes and shoes and was about to open the door and go out.

"Xiao Zhuo!" Grandma Ning shouted eagerly.

Qin Zhuo was puzzled, stopped and looked back at grandma.

"grandmother?"

"Xiao Zhuo, it's raining outside. You're still young and your health is in critical condition...why don't we go?"

Jing Jingxuan said with some difficulty.

She has always taught Xiaozhuo to be a brave and responsible person.

But at this moment, the tension, worry, and fear in her heart made her want to selfishly keep him at home.

She has grown up little by little, and has been dependent on her for more than ten years. It has become a child of flesh and blood. She is not a child who is better than a relative!
If the rain outside was normal, she might not even frown and let him go.

How can we grow better without experiencing ups and downs?
But this is acid rain!
His body has been weak since he was a child. After being exposed to the rain, he was eroded by germs and his skin was infected. I'm afraid...

Jing Jingxuan felt heartbroken when she thought of this.

Qin Zhuo saw the worry and nervousness about him that could not be hidden in her grandma's eyes, and her heart felt sour.

He walked over and hugged grandma.

"Grandma, I know you are worried about me. But I have grown up and I am a man now. It is time to protect grandma from the wind and rain. Don't worry, I will be careful and pay attention to safety. It will be fine."

Jing Jingxuan sighed.

With tears in her eyes, she hugged Qin Zhuo tightly.

She knew the temperament of the child she had raised.

She was ruthless.

"Good boy, then go ahead and do what you think is right. Grandma supports you. But remember, stay safe! Grandma is waiting for you at home..."

She fumbled for the coat on the side and put it on Qin Zhuo.

Qin Zhuo pursed his lips and glanced at his grandma, then turned around and quickly opened the door and ran out.

It rained heavily and lasted the whole day.

People also spent almost a whole day in the rain.

Fortunately, the concentration of acidic substances in the rain this time was not high, and most people only experienced skin allergy symptoms.

However, the seeds survived.

The seedlings were saved.

Hope, saved.
