Chapter 181: Mutation - Granary 26
The place is big to begin with, and the mushrooms don’t seem to have a very good memory.
Anjiu was really worried that it would forget about it just after it was hidden.
In fact, Anjiu also has her own selfish motives - she hopes that Xianggu will have a smoother life after she leaves.
Although its body has changed, its personality is still kind.
If she hadn't met Shiitake Mushroom on the first day, this journey to another world would not have been so easy for her.
This allowed Anjiu, who had only experienced two different worlds, to discover a new world, and he had more expectations in his heart besides collecting supplies.
Of course, it is still unknown what we will encounter in the next different world.
When passing by a tree with protruding roots entangled with each other to form a ball-like vegetation, the mushroom stopped, circled around it, and indicated that this was the place.
"I'll just move the tree roots away and hide the bucket inside. No one will find it."
Although shiitake mushrooms have slender limbs, they are very strong.
His slender fingers easily inserted into the gap between the tree roots, and with all his strength he lifted it up.
Anjiu picked up the bucket and was about to put it in, but heard a scream.
"Oh my god, why is there a corpse with white hair in there? So disgusting."
Xianggu clicked his tongue in disgust, stretched out a little finger, hooked the clothes on the corpse with his nails, and threw them outside.
The corpse rolled over several times, and the white hair on its body was covered by a thin layer of soil, so that the face could barely be seen.
——It’s senior year of high school.
Not long after he died of poisoning that day, something strange happened and Anjiu's attention was drawn away.
In addition, there have been many problems in the past two days, and all my attention has been focused on collecting supplies.
Anjiu recalled for a long time before he remembered that when Gao San fell down that day, he was lying on the roots of a tree, right?
And now, the body is wrapped up inside?
How can tree roots grow so fast in just one or two days?
An Jiu lowered his eyes to look at the unusually thick tree roots, and said softly: "Shiitake mushroom...let go of your hand first, and come over slowly."
"Gu?" Although Xianggu was confused, he was willing to listen to advice.
It put down the tree roots, stood on tiptoe, and walked over in a strange posture.
Anjiu looked past it and out along the roots of the tree little by little.
Gao San's body was thrown not far away, also within the range of the tree roots. His face was tilted towards this side, and his skin was covered with a mixture of white hair and dirt.
He should have his eyes open, but Anjiu couldn't see clearly because his eye membrane was also covered with white hair.
His skin was dry, his limbs were stiff, and he exuded a dead air all over.
Anjiu was about to look away, but turned back the next second!
"What's wrong?" Xianggu noticed something was wrong.
"I just seemed to feel him... move a little." An Jiu suspected that he had seen it wrong.
"Moved?" Shiitake chewed these two words in his mouth.
"Um……"
Anjiu couldn't be completely sure. After all, the amplitude was very small, and it might also be an illusion that appeared in the blink of an eye.
"Go check it out."
Xianggu seemed to have no idea of fear. He walked over, lifted him into the air and shook him hard.
"Hey, are you still alive? If you're alive, squeak."
Anjiu: ...
As expected, his limbs are well-developed.
After muttering to himself several times, Xianggu lost his patience, smashed the body against the tree, and looked down at those eyes from above.
After a careful observation, he said to Anjiu, "Gu, I'm sure he's dead."
It had no scruples and continued to lift the tree root. "Don't just stand there, put the bucket in quickly. It's here so I can remember the location. And with it here, no one will know there is something here."
Anjiu had no choice but to put the barrel into the tree pit as it requested.
He covered the tree roots, stepped on the mushrooms a few times as a camouflage, pulled Anjiu onto his back, drank the last bit of water left in the pot, stuffed it into her arms, and prepared to collect the leaf flesh.
Anjiu leaned on it, holding on to it with her fingers tightly. She looked back worriedly, only to see the corpse lying quietly on the tree roots.
Maybe she was really hallucinating.
……
The leaf flesh can be seen everywhere. Anjiu has a knife in his hand, so breaking through the surface of the leaf is not a problem.
More than half of the dug-out leaf pulp was stored in the space and neatly placed in a stainless steel basin.
The remaining part is passed through the middle by leaf veins and hung on the neck of the mushroom, and some is cut into small pieces and placed in the pot.
Put the two pots together and use the leaf veins to tie the two handles tightly so that you can take them and eat whenever you are hungry.
The remaining bits were eaten on the spot to satisfy hunger.
She forbade Shiitake to participate in labor and only made him responsible for security issues.
The shiitake mushroom climbed to the highest point, its huge eyes fixed on the nearby air to avoid being surrounded by poisonous fog. It held the fresh leaf flesh that Anjiu handed to it in its hand and ate it with a loud crunch.
After eating vegetarian food for three consecutive days, Anjiu's eyes turned a little green and he couldn't help but recall the feeling of eating meat.
There were still more than a dozen cans of meat in the space, but she didn't dare take them out. Firstly, she couldn't pass through the clear road, and secondly, the mutants had a very sensitive sense of smell.
The smell of braised meat is overbearing and takes a long time to dissipate after contact with your body. It can be easily smelled and will cause unnecessary trouble.
Anjiu looked at the canned food to fill his stomach, picked up the leaf flesh and took a big bite - the leaf flesh is also meat, it is tree flesh!
She remembered something, and a lollipop appeared in her hand.
——This was the candy I picked up on the road when I went to the Cailutong shop for the first time, and a conflict broke out over it.
It had been kept in the space without being moved, and she had forgotten about it after a long time.
It wasn't until yesterday when I was cleaning up the space that I found it in the corner.
The lollipop had no outer packaging and looked two sizes smaller (because it had been eaten). After washing it with clean water, Anjiu put his right hand behind his back and waved at it with a smile.
"Boss, please come down for a while."
Shiitake mushroom stuffed all the uneaten leaf flesh into its mouth, jumped down from the height with all four limbs.
"What's the matter? You still have more food for me to eat?"
It runs fast and jumps high, which consumes a lot of energy. Leaf flesh is digested in a short time, so it is either looking for water or looking for food.
Seeing Anjiu waving at him, even though his stomach was a little bloated, he still felt that it was not a problem to eat one more piece.
"It's not leaf meat. I found it in the hot pot restaurant yesterday. Here," Anjiu held out his hand, "a lollipop that has been eaten. I just washed it carefully. The smell is the same. It's edible. Do you want to eat it?"
Looking at the pink and white lollipop in her hand, Xianggu was stunned for a long time.
It blinked slowly, its mouthparts hanging limply on its chest.
Even the voice became softer.
“…For Gu?”
"Well, you can eat it. I don't like sweet things." Anjiu touched its hand and let it hold the candy stick. "There is water on the sugar, don't let it get dirty."
It was such a small lollipop that it was so heavy that Shiitake Mushroom could hardly hold it.
It pinched it tightly with the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, and for the first time it felt that its nails were too long.
