Natural disasters are coming: the space is busy with stockpiling and farming

Chapter 50 Qingcheng with Checkpoints

It seems that the role of the forest is more like unlocking.

If you find something in the forest, its seeds will appear in the space store.

Jiang Sheng wandered around for a while and found a few wild strawberries.

I bought the seeds and planted them immediately. It didn't take long for the seeds to mature, and the resulting strawberries were as big as a baby's fist.

Jiang Sheng couldn't wait to pick one and put it into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste went straight to his forehead, and he was almost bubbling with happiness.

But she didn't plan to let Su Chen and others know about it outside the space.

Apple itself can explain that it is supplies collected in the fruit store.

After all, apples don’t go bad easily and can last for a while in cold weather.

But that's not the case with strawberries. Now if she could produce such a bright red strawberry, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

Although he has the idea of ​​​​continuing to get along with everyone and become good friends, Jiang Sheng does not intend to reveal his true identity.

Withdrawing his consciousness from the space, Jiang Sheng opened his eyes and saw Cheng Xiao's dark eyes only 10 centimeters away from his face.

This kind of situation has only been seen in horror movies. Jiang Sheng was forced to endure the scream that was about to burst out of his throat.

She angrily punched Cheng Xiao. Is this idiot afraid of scaring her to death if he is so close?

Cheng Xiao could sense some subtle changes in Jiang Sheng, but he couldn't do it if he continued to probe, so he subconsciously got closer and closer.

Who has ever wanted to get punched directly?

Looking at Cheng Xiao, he was dirty, his clothes were torn and torn, and the soles of the shoes on his feet were worn out.

Jiang Sheng rummaged in the space for a while and took out a long-sleeved sweatshirt with a hood.

After all, bringing Cheng Xiao with him in such a ostentatious way might cause trouble, so it would be better to let Cheng Xiao disguise himself as much as possible.

Zombies don't have any requirements for hot or cold conditions, and they don't feel uncomfortable wearing a sweatshirt. They put on a baseball cap, a sweatshirt hat, and a mask.

Although it looked a bit weird in the hot weather, it was still better than exposing Cheng Xiao's pure black eyes and sharp fangs.

After wiping Cheng Xiao's face, Jiang Sheng continued to sit back on the chair with some heartache.

The vigil was indeed extremely boring. When he saw that there was not even a zombie outside the door, Jiang Sheng knew that it was Cheng Xiao's masterpiece.

Su Chen is right. Having a powerful zombie like Cheng Xiao by your side is indeed a sense of security and convenience.

What exactly are superpowers that don’t have process effects?

Cheng Xiao had not often used his powers, and the only time he had used them was when he first met Jiang Sheng.

It can confuse people's minds, and it feels somewhat similar to Su Chen's spiritual system, but I am not entirely sure.

That's all, Jiang Sheng has never had a strong desire to explore. After thinking about it, he felt that he had nothing to think about, so he leaned back on the chair in a daze.

Cheng Xiao didn't make any trouble and snuggled up to Jiang Sheng's side obediently, just like he did when he was a child.

——

Time passes day by day, and 24 days have passed since everyone set out on the journey.

Fortunately, we are only one city away from Qingcheng, so we can reach Qingcheng safely within two days.

The driving speed is much faster, and the main credit goes to Cheng Xiao.

If he hadn't unleashed the pressure of high-level zombies, the car on the road would have been chased by low-level zombies.

People in the team saw that Cheng Xiao not only stopped eating meat, but also helped them overcome difficulties, so they took more care of Cheng Xiao.

Along the way, Cheng Xiao continued to hunt zombies and would keep the crystal cores he took out and hand them over to Jiang Sheng in the end.

At first, Jiang Sheng was afraid that Cheng Xiao would get lost, but he didn't expect that this guy could even pick out crystal cores at an amazing speed, and there would be no chance of him being unable to keep up with the car.

Although he hasn't gotten out of the car much in the past few days, the number of crystal nuclei in Jiang Sheng's hands continues to multiply.

Cheng Xiao even hunted two third-level zombies. Looking at the crystal core that seemed to be flowing with huge energy, Jiang Sheng gave Cheng Xiao a thumbs up again.

Isn’t this awesome?

However, Jiang Sheng did not have all the crystal nuclei under his command. Since Cheng Xiao did not eat human flesh, the energy in his daily life must be obtained from the crystal nuclei.

So Jiang Sheng only kept one third-level crystal core and gave the other one back to Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao searched for crystal nuclei and hunted zombies every day, and had a great time.

He could naturally sense that Jiang Sheng was very interested in the crystal core, and would usually kill many more zombies to please Jiang Sheng.

But the main reason is that Jiang Sheng is too weak.

At least in Cheng Xiao's eyes, Jiang Sheng was unreasonably weak.

Although it is stronger than the third-level zombies, it is still not enough in front of Cheng Xiao, an invincible mutated zombie.

Everyone in the car was a little envious. Jiang Sheng’s zombie cousin was so awesome, wasn’t he?

It can drive away low-level zombies and help Jiang Sheng seize the crystal core!

Su Chen also felt some comfort in his heart. With Cheng Xiao here, Jiang Sheng's future safety would be better guaranteed.

The car finally arrived at the edge of Qingcheng, but before driving long, a roadblock appeared in front of it.

There is a sign next to it: [Toll fee, 5 kilograms of grain or 3 liters of pure water per person.]

Jiang Sheng frowned. He hadn't been back for several months. Why were there still checkpoints around Qingcheng?

Carrot was better at dealing with people. He got out of the car and went to get close to the guard on duty in front of him.

"Brother, could you please tell me who is collecting the tolls?"

Luobo handed over a cigarette. Although there was only one cigarette, it was a rare good thing in the apocalypse.

The guard looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he carefully put the cigarette into his pocket.

His face was very kind: "This is the toll collected by our boss. After all, Qingcheng is also close to the sea. Some people will go to the seaside to collect some seawater and sell it in inland areas.

As a native of Qingcheng, we can't let outsiders drag away this sea water, right?

So our boss set up a checkpoint to collect tolls."

The carrots were collected as soon as they were ready, and they returned to the car without asking any more questions.

After getting in the car, Luobo informed everyone of the situation.

Jiang Sheng looked at Cheng Xiao, who had been hidden in the car by her in advance.

Although Cheng Xiao could enter Qingcheng herself, she was always worried, so it would be better to watch him enter with her own eyes.

"I tried my best to get to the coast from the mainland, thinking about bringing some water back to sell, but I didn't expect that I would encounter a checkpoint."

Jiang Sheng lamented that ordinary people naturally had no chance to taste the pure water created by superpowers.

So we can only exchange things for things, like gambling to use the seawater brought back from the seaside.

These people who came to the beach to fetch water originally wanted to make a fortune, but they never thought of setting up a checkpoint here.

But looking at the way these people paid tolls without changing their expressions, this must be the case not just in Qingcheng, but in all coastal cities.

"The tolls paid into the city are quite small. If you want to transport water from Qingcheng, you need at least these grains!"

Carrot stretched out five fingers.

Su Cheng asked doubtfully: "50 kilograms of grain?"

"No, no, no, 500 pounds."
