Chapter 62 Strange Mushroom Forest
The leek-shaped wheat seedlings were no longer as green as Zhang Yifei's memory as he should have, but were yellow and wilted, like eggplants made from frost.
"What's going on?" The car was driving on the road. Wherever he passed, Zhang Yifei saw the fields along the way, all of which were full of this scene.
"It's probably because the sun is not enough now." Lao Ge pointed to the sky while driving.
Indeed, after entering the dust cloud, the light on the ground is severely limited every day, like cloudy during the day, not to mention at night, the stars are basically invisible.
When wheat seedlings grow in summer, they mainly rely on sufficient sunshine and nutrients. If sunshine is insufficient, they will naturally not grow well.
"Now it's all yellow. Judging from this situation, this crop of wheat cannot produce seeds." Zhang Yifei looked at the fields outside and sighed - maybe from this moment on, the grain will really begin to produce.
Unless anyone can cultivate new crops that can develop normally without much light.
As the car continued to drive, the surrounding scenery became worse and worse. Some fields were completely abandoned and no one took care of them.
Those surrounding villages are probably either dead or give up completely when the fields are difficult to produce.
As the cars get farther and farther away from the city, the surrounding area is becoming more and more desolate, and there are fewer vehicles on the provincial roads. There is no car seen for a long time, and there is a dilapidated scene everywhere. This dilapidation and desolation outside the city forms a sharp contrast with the chaos and madness inside the city, which makes Zhang Yifei, who has just left the city, have a very strange change in his mood.
"The doomsday is really coming..." Lao Ge also felt at the sight outside, "I don't know how the villages outside the city live... Speaking of the several famines in China in modern times, there were more and more people who died in rural areas than in cities. They grow grain, but the large grain warehouses are all in the city, which is quite unfair..."
"Well, it's quite unfair, but there's nothing fair in this world. Fairness is just a joke..." Zhang Yifei continued to look out the window and chatted with Lao Ge casually. "In peacetime, cities must be the distribution center of all commodities, and there's nothing to do about it. If you want to say fair words... there is anything to be fair, some people are born with everything, while some people are born with nothing..."
"Hey, wait, what do you think that is?" Zhang Yifei was chatting casually, but while he was talking, he suddenly saw something strange.
"where?"
"Then!" Zhang Yifei pointed to the place where he was looking.
Looking along his fingers, Lao Ge saw the wheat field in front of Zhang Yifei. There was a sudden strange mushroom forest. The mushrooms there could grow to half a person's height, some were fan-leaf-shaped, some were small umbrella-shaped, some were very thick, some were thin, and the color was gray-black, which was very strange.
"Is this a mushroom?" Lao Ge frowned. He had never grown anything, so his understanding of mushrooms was only at the stage of shiitake mushrooms and enoki mushrooms.
"It shouldn't be any kind of mushroom." Zhang Yifei shook his head, "Stop, I want to go down and take a look."
"Yeah." After hearing him, Lao Ge began to slow down and put on the brakes. When the car stopped, it was the closest place to the mushroom forest.
After the car parked on the side of the road, Zhang Yifei and Lao Ge got off the car together and looked at the mushroom forest that was intersecting with the wheat fields from afar.
The area where things spread is quite large. From here, you can see a large area of dense areas that have been occupied by this mushroom. Then, where these mushroom forests and wheat intersect, the two kinds of creatures are also fighting for territory - there is actually a phenomenon of territorial disputes between plants.
But it is obvious that in this nutrient battle, this mushroom has an absolute advantage. The place where the mushroom forest and wheat seedlings intersect are not flat and clear, but uneven. Some mushrooms have spread into the wheat seedlings in a staggered manner, but no wheat seedlings have ever entered the mushroom forest.
"This thing is stronger than weeds!" Lao Ge sighed when he saw this, "This was all wheat fields before, why did such a strange thing suddenly grow?"
"I don't know." Zhang Yifei also shook his head. According to the principle, if the dust clouds block the sunlight, the species should not change so quickly. "Is it related to the hill of sand?"
"Maybe, aren't they called the King of the Wild? But what does it have to do with the King of the Wild?"
"God knows." Zhang Yifei jumped off the wheat field while talking, "I'll go and have a look."
"Then..." Lao Ge looked at the bumpy ground below, then looked at his fat body of more than 200 kilograms, "Then I'm waiting for you here!"
"oh!"
After Zhang Yifei jumped off the road, he walked along the wheat field, and then shocked countless flying insects along the way.
I didn't look very carefully on the road, but after jumping down, he realized that there were particularly many kinds of insects in the wheat field - much more than the number of insects he should have in the wheat field as he remembered.
After arriving all the way, ladybugs, moths, grasshoppers... they were so chaotic that countless things were shocked, and there were also some things that Zhang Yifei had never seen before.
"Even if you don't have pesticides, it's not all bugs... Uh!" Zhang Yifei walked forward, and suddenly there was a pain in his calf. When he raised his legs, he saw a hole in his pants. When he tore open his pants, he saw a strange bug crawling into his flesh with all his efforts.
The skin had been broken, and the thing was drilling into his flesh...
"What, leeches?" Zhang Yifei pulled the insect's butt out of his flesh and blood. He looked up and saw a very strange "tips and sharp-mouthed" insect. The insect looked a bit like a leeches, but its whole body was blue and black, and its mouth was like a drill, with strange hard keratin.
Zhang Yifei's current physical strength and pistol bullets are difficult to shoot through. This thing actually drilled a small hole in his legs. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have torn apart the flesh and flesh into his body as soon as he felt it.
"What the hell, it's so fucking disgusting!" After the insect was in his hand and looked at it for a few times, the thing was still struggling in his hand with great strength. Zhang Yifei pinched it tightly with his fingers, and blood and mucus were spewed out of the insect's butt and mouth.
"Fuck!" He shook his hands and threw away the dead insects. Zhang Yifei dried the mucus on his hands and continued to move forward.
In order to prevent being "possessed" by insects, he ran directly behind him, and kept checking when he ran until the junction of the wheat field and the mushroom forest, and stopped.
Then Zhang Yifei saw a more disgusting scene inside.
There are more insects in the mushroom forest than in the wheat fields. From strange centipedes covered with long hair to earthworms with teeth in their mouths, there are all kinds of things. On the mushroom bodies, there are also small insects with white hair-tips attached to them, which makes him dazzled.
