Chapter 98： winter

After several major events happened one after another, the time soon came to September. Having been caught off guard by the sudden heavy snowfall last year, every household has been rummaging through boxes since mid-September this year. Clothes and thick quilts, for fear of being tossed again by the severe cold.

In this kind of environment where the whole base is preparing for winter together, Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze are not that different. The plan for the mutant plants has not fallen off at all, and the villa that has lived in for more than a year looks cleaner and tidy than the home that others have just moved into.

After working in full swing for several days, and the temperature has not dropped sharply, Ye Xuan fell into a coma after leaving a sentence "I seem to be going up again" on the day when the third year of the end of the world began.

I don't know if it was just in time for the special day of the change of summer and winter, but Ye Xuan's upgrade went very smoothly this time. He subsided from the high fever in just a few hours and woke up from a coma.

After closing his eyes and feeling for a few minutes the power that was several times stronger than before, he opened his eyes and was stunned for a few seconds after seeing the familiar furnishings. It was the snow that came as promised.

Ling Jiaze, who was sweeping snow with his supernatural powers in the yard, heard the sound of a window opening upstairs. He subconsciously raised his head and saw Ye Xuan standing by the window. He raised his head and shouted, "Ye Xuan, are you finished upgrading? "

"Well, just woke up."

"Then come down and look at the flowers you've raised. One by one, they've been making noise since it snowed. I can't wait to demolish the house! If you don't wake up again, I'll freeze them directly!" , Ling Jiaze also tugged at the wisteria that was leaning beside him, obviously it was out of trouble.

"Oh, I'm coming!"

Ye Xuan put on a warm jacket while running downstairs, and just finished putting on his jacket when he ran to the yard in three and two steps. As soon as he opened the door, the nearest bougainvillea wrapped around his wrist, but before he could climb up, he was entangled by the vines that came out of him and violently pulled aside.

Afterwards, several mutant plants that were closer to the door and were leaning towards Ye Xuan were also forcibly dragged aside by the vines, preventing them from getting any closer.

Ling Jiaze watched from a distance the scene where the vines were covering Ye Xuan's body, and the other plants were surrounded by him a meter away. He couldn't help laughing and teasing him: "I only knew about you before. Liked by plants, I didn't expect them to be jealous for you."

Ye Xuan used his supernatural ability to guide the mutant plants that came over to each of them, and then walked to Ling Jiaze with the vines that were still wrapped around his arms, stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair, feigning anger: "I will. Look at my jokes here, and don't come and help me."

Ling Jiaze smiled and rubbed it back, while making trouble, he said, "Who made you like plants?"

"They don't like me." Ye Xuan kicked Ling Jiaze's cold hands into his jacket pockets because he had been outdoors for a long time, and explained to him, "They sensed that my powers were upgraded. Come and ask me for a favor! Although it is of no use to humans, the energy released by the wood-type power user for the first time after the upgrade has something very helpful for these mutant plants to grow, otherwise Why are they so diligent?"

"Hey, look," he pointed to the mutant plants that had returned to their original positions, with a layer of mutated plants in different colors, "Did you throw me away after getting the benefits?"

"Pfft-"

Ye Xuan described himself as miserable, but Ling Jiaze couldn't help laughing.

Ye Xuan looked at him puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

"I thought of a sentence on the Internet before, which is especially suitable for the way you just looked."

Ye Xuan: ?

While explaining to him, Ling Jiaze also added a knife by the way, "You see that you usually water and instill supernatural powers to raise the mutant plants in this yard, isn't it like an old father raising sons? And now they are Don't pay attention to your appearance when you get the benefits, isn't it just 'The cold leaves are flowing all over my face, my son's rebellion hurts my heart'?"

You know, after Ye Xuan brought back the mutant plants in this yard, he didn't just leave them in the yard and let them fend for themselves. When there are plants that are about to be upgraded, they will directly move a chair to sit in the yard, and pay close attention to their conditions while completing orders from the base, lest they go wrong.

Under his careful rearing, the mutant plants in this yard with not very strong predation skills grow much faster than when they were all on their own in the wild. It is precisely because they know that it is beneficial to follow Ye Xuan, so they are so obedient. Otherwise, just relying on the violent teaching of the vines, the mutant plants with different temperaments in this yard will not be so obedient.

Therefore, in Ling Jiaze's view, before the end of the world, people who raised a cat and a dog liked to call themselves parents, but Ye Xuan now raised this yard plant, isn't he their old father?

Ye Xuan: ...

He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly. First, he instilled a supernatural power on the mutant plants in the entire yard. After confirming that they all began to absorb energy safely, he took advantage of Ling Jiaze's inattentiveness and directly slapped him. carried it up.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

"you!"

Ling Jiaze: ? !

——

After tossing on the bed for an entire afternoon, Ye Xuan ran to the roof to clear the snow with vines, and it was time for Shen Minglang and the three brothers and sisters to come over to eat hot pot.

The meat of the high-level supernatural beasts at this stage will not cause damage to the human body even if the supernatural power is not used once, and it tastes better than the meat of the ordinary animals before the end of the world. Shen Minglang brought him today A piece of meat made from a mutant sheep that was hunted during the mission, served with a charcoal copper pot prepared by Ye Xuan and freshly ripened vegetables, even if only some simple slices of ginger, scallions, wolfberry and jujube were added. The clear soup pot is also enough to make one's appetite open.

After taking a sip of the freshly squeezed orange juice, Shen Mingyue squinted her almond eyes that resembled Ling Jiaze's, and said contentedly, "Cousin, you are still comfortable here, I was dragged out by my brother today for a busy day, and I'm really exhausted. It's gone!"

Last winter, Shen Mingyue suddenly awakened her supernatural powers and possessed the ability to control snow. Although she can't summon snow out of thin air like the similar water and ice power users, she has a strong ability to control the existing snow.

So last winter, as long as the base snowed, she would be recruited to help everywhere in the base, sometimes to help clear the roads, and sometimes to go to Xicheng District to help clear the snow on the roof, so as to avoid those unstable and dangerous houses It will collapse due to the laziness of the owner, causing trouble to the base for nothing.

"Isn't this just the way you can do this?" Shen Minghui put chopsticks of freshly cooked mutton for her sister who had been busy all day, and comforted her: "Look at me, I want to help eldest brother, but don't let me go over there. Woolen cloth!"

Shen Mingyue rolled his eyes at him, and asked back, "What do I tell you to do? Turn the snow into water and then freeze it directly?"

Ling Jiaze reminded: "Do you want to go to Xicheng District to help this year? I heard that there has been a little bit of trouble there recently. If you want to go there, remember to bring some more people."

Shen Minglang replied for her: "This year, the base doesn't care about the snow-sweeping work of various families. Last year, I could say that I didn't expect the temperature to drop again. I couldn't react for a while. Sweeping the snow cleanly and diligently is too unreasonable. We can’t sweep the snow from the outside in the cold weather, and those homeowners huddle at home and enjoy themselves, right?”

Ye Xuan nodded in agreement, "That's right, it's not a problem to always help those who don't work hard."

When it comes to helping ordinary people, Ye Xuan still admires the degree that the Shen family has mastered.

In August last year, because he suspected that the cold winter would come again, Shen Minglang made a special trip to several surrounding cities to bring back the equipment and inventory of the nearby quilt factory, and then set up a series of tasks for ordinary people in the base. , as long as the work is done in exchange for thick clothes and quilts.

Although the weather was still very hot at that time, there was a previous experience of the temperature soaring by dozens of degrees in one day in March. Those people who could no longer wear clothes, the quilts were not thick enough, and were still afraid of freezing the previous year were still in a prepared mind. The workmanship has been replaced by something warm, and the sudden cooling has been successfully carried.

And those who were idle or caused trouble all day long were hit hard by the heavy snow and severe cold that came without warning, and there were not a few people who died of frostbite.

After one night, some of those who did not work before chose to take the initiative to bow their heads and wear soft clothes. They worked hard for several days in the jobs provided by the base, and got their late warm clothes.

But in addition to these people, there are others who feel that the base should provide them with supplies for the winter free of charge, and ask the clothing factory to distribute relief clothes to help them survive the cold winter. For these people, it is rare for the base, which has always been generous and preferential to ordinary people, to not give a good face. Not only did they fail to give things directly as they wished, but they also neatly avoided a few days when they didn't do anything serious and would spread them around the base. Rumors, thorns that fan the flames, and guaranteed supplies every day.

They didn't even think about it. If the base really gave things because of the trouble for two days, what would those people who had worked hard to support themselves think about, how could they think it was fair, and the base wouldn't have more troubles?

There are no rules and no circles. In this chaotic society after the end of the world, this sentence is far more useful than those rationality and sympathy.

My attitude towards poverty alleviation is probably that if it is really difficult, I can help, and if it is difficult for me to die, I should say goodbye. Or the little angel who irrigates the nutrient solution~
