Chapter 11: Longtan, Tiger's Den (6)

Around the base of these industrial products, countless weeds grow tenaciously.Here, plants not only cannot find enough soil, they are also regularly harvested by robots, and the area cannot be expanded.But they just refused to give in. As long as they found an opportunity, they would follow the guidance of DNA and invade toward the inspection road wedgely.

The leaves of grass swayed, adding mottled green to the ground.Countless lives are active here, running their own little lives.The thin butterfly gathers its wings and puts its mouthparts into the blue cap flower with great effort; the praying mantis quietly raises its sword arm, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the prey; the pointed grasshopper is indifferent to this, and jumps onto the maintenance aisle on its own, almost scratching To the drooping muzzle of AR-290.

This group of six-legged insects didn't care much about Suo Zhongwu's footsteps.But those larger creatures are very vigilant.After seeing someone approaching, the wild daisy on the left side of the intersection immediately rustled, and the two hairy tails stood up high, and the spin disappeared.

They ran too fast, and their claws kicked several clusters of particles out of the grass. They were black and round, and seemed to be steaming.A group of beetles flew over immediately, with the look of greed, the hungry ghosts who hadn't eaten for three months were ashamed.

Suo Zhongwu shook his head and decided to turn right ahead of time. He would rather take a detour and try to be quiet.However, when he walked into the gap between the panels, what he saw and heard was even more unpleasant.From west to east, you will find a large piece of bare ground within a few steps, which is more eye-catching than what you saw with a night vision device last night. No matter the color or shape, it looks like the moss spots on cats and dogs.

Suo Zhongwu tried to dig with an engineer shovel, and his hands were covered with dust.But he found nothing except some old plastic packaging of unknown type.Mr. Garrett’s men might have done some special entertainment here, but he didn’t want to know the details.

[What do these gangsters think, dare to be in a mess?No, not only them, but Garrett obviously got the wrong line. He treated such a good deal as old deerskin, and didn't even look at it. The bad conscience of the gang game, but sharpened his head and had to go inside.

Suo Zhongwu looked down on his employer even more.But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't transfer his thoughts to Port Rye.After scolding, he still had to go back to work and continue to explore the secrets behind the cartridge case.If there is a secret

Last night, his search range was centered on the point 223 shell and had a radius of five meters.During the day today, he intends to double the radius and focus on the southeast direction that is not often concerned.

[Think about it carefully, it's really ironic.I am a hired assassin who works for a gang, and I actually acted as a detective, looking for evidence of crime in the employer's property.If you fail, all your efforts will be lost. Even if you succeed, you can only find a pit of rotting corpses, or even completely rotten bones——]

A strange color flashed before my eyes suddenly.Not on the ground, but on the edge of the solar panel, almost as high as the eyebrows.Suo Zhongwu stopped, looked at the discovery in surprise, and even held his breath for a while.how is this possible?Why is there such a thing?

He saw a gooseberry.A short, weak, yellow-green gooseberry.It is rooted between the battery slices, and countless thin whiskers stretched and entangled, firmly locked in a few clods, and just stood firm in the gap.

There is only a vertical distance of less than two meters between the plant and the ground.But this short span of more than a hundred centimeters cut off the groundwater source, blocked the thick soil, and took away most of the resources needed for growth.If you can choose, gooseberry will definitely not grow in Sri Lanka, but like Suo Zhongwu at this time, it cannot control its own destiny with its branches and leaves.

This plant probably originated from a seed discarded by the claws after the bird ate the fruit.Among the hard cells, the source of fertilizer is almost only dust. If you want to add moisture, you often have to ask for help from irregular rainfall.A random disturbance, even if it is just a whim of the insect, could cut it off, and then fall into a situation where it will never be restored.

But this gooseberry has survived without wilting or shedding, but has persisted until now.It hugs the dust tightly with roots, and squeezes the virtual powder blown by the strong wind into a solid mass; it stretches the branches and leaves to the edge of the battery panel, which can avoid the deadly direct sunlight and collect in the early morning. Dewdrops are a valuable supplement to the intermittent rainfall.

It will be May soon.As long as it persists for another twenty days, this gooseberry will bloom with pink flowers and proudly invite butterflies and bees.In mid-July and early August at the latest, it will surely bear red agate-like fruits, attracting birds and rodents.The pulp will be eaten by the animals to supplement the body with much-needed sugar; the seeds will be taken away by the group of guests, and will take root and sprout everywhere in the wilderness, completing another round of life cycle.

"..."

Suo Zhongwu looked at the seedling and laughed like a small road boy.He was immersed in his imagination and didn't move for two minutes until the ladybug fell on the clumped hair and happily played on the slide.Decided!Suo Zhongwu scratched his head, only feeling that his whole body was full of strength, his chest seemed to be equipped with a reactor, and the hot blood would boil.[The next thing to do is decided!

He solemnly saluted the gooseberry, and then ran back to the main control tower, "dongdongdongdongdong" straight into the engine room.The mechanical equipment in this place has the simplest structure of the entire power station, the least connection with the computer, and the oldest.Although Suo Zhongwu had never studied related majors, and had not repaired any other major items except the 04-step chariot, he still found the water pipe valve and the spare drain buried under the layers of cobwebs easily.

The next thing to do is even simpler.Suo Zhongwu flipped through the inventory records, and by the way, he caught the cleaning robot as a coolie. He never knew how long no one paid attention to the parts warehouse and got a half-mile (about 800 meters) long plastic water pipe.In addition, he also found a bundle of aluminum alloy railings, six large pieces of decayed wooden boards, two large stacks of plastic tarps, and the silver insulating tape that was piled up as high as a hill and appeared frequently in North American film and television dramas.

In order to move these rags to the outside of the tower, Suo Zhongwu had to take out the gas mask again, and made his whole body sweat profusely. During the work, his shoulders were worn red and swollen by the armor. Because he had been wearing a helmet, the temperature of his head was as high as fever. Thanks to timely hydration, he did not experience embarrassing symptoms of heat stroke.
