Chapter 82 Self-healing of the planet(2/2)
You Xi quickly remembered that on the day when the reverse flight of migratory birds passed through the city, a heron got stuck in a gap in the air window and had a conflict with the couple next door. In the end, the heron was poked out and slid along the outer wall of the building.
It went down and never flew again.
After that, several other herons pecked randomly at the glass next door for a while.
At that time, she was quite surprised by the behavior of these herons, but now nearly twenty days have passed since that time. Could it be that these few herons are the same ones last time - they still remember their companions. This is
Come back for revenge?!
When You Xi stood in front of the glass in surprise, You Feng also stood in front of the window of the room and stared blankly at the city below.
Their room is in the southeast corner of the upper floor where there is better lighting, and more than half of the south-facing wall is covered with floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
They went to bed early yesterday, and Fan Qi had been reading the news without paying attention. However, he noticed that his daughter seemed to have something to say to them. Later, when he saw their tired faces, he gave up and asked them to rest early, saying
There will be something important to tell them today.
He didn't sleep well at night, and he vaguely kept hearing sounds outside.
However, because all the windows in the house were equipped with a layer of tempered glass, the sound insulation was very good. Under normal circumstances, if the windows were not opened, they would not be able to hear what was going on outside at all when they fell asleep. He always thought it was just his illusion.
But he was thinking about the important things his daughter said, and he woke up just after dawn.
Afraid of waking up Fan Qi, he got out of bed lightly and went to the bathroom near the door to wash up. After washing up, You Feng woke up completely, and it was at this time that he noticed the movement outside again.
There seemed to be someone screaming, and there were chaotic horns and crashes from cars.
Where was the car accident nearby?
He walked out of the bathroom, came to the south-facing window, opened a little of the curtain and looked down.
On a road nearby outside the community, a poplar tree that was originally planted on the roadside suddenly stood across the road. He initially thought that the tree was knocked down because of yesterday's thunderstorm, until he took a telescope nearby to check.
Found it wasn't.
Because the poplar tree is still growing - at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Brown branches crossed the sidewalk and squeezed through the shops nearby. It looked like a giant that had been curled up in a ball suddenly stood up and stretched out its arms and legs.
The nearby building was easily broken by the stretched branches. People in the store screamed and fled from the crumbling building. Some people around were frightened and fell down. Some people drove their cars directly into the car next to them. Some people were talking to them with their mobile phones.
I was taking pictures under a poplar tree and the people around me couldn't be dragged away no matter how hard I dragged them. The scene was in chaos...
The pavement on both sides of the poplar tree cracked and cracked. The thick and tangled roots squeezed through the cement and asphalt pavement and were exposed. Green leaves continued to grow from the branches. Eventually, the whole tree grew from two or three stories tall to six or seven stories high.
The height of the floor.
The entire crown of the tree is like a huge green umbrella, cutting off the center of the four lanes and domineeringly crushing all the buildings that hinder the growth of its branches and leaves.
One building was even traversed by its branches, which penetrated through the windows at one end and poked out from the windows at the other end.
Strings of yellow-green flower buds soon grew between the branches and leaves. When a gust of wind blew, the flower buds suddenly burst open, and white poplar catkins scattered in the air like goose feathers and heavy snow.
The people nearby were first attracted by the scene, which looked like heavy snow in the sky. However, soon, some people began to scratch at their exposed skin. After a while, everyone screamed. They covered their eyes and faces and fled away from the catkins wailing.
The flying range...
You Feng soon discovered that there were more than one plant in the city that had undergone such shocking changes.
There was a three- or four-story house completely covered in green. He thought it was an ivy at first, but later he recognized from the strings of purple spherical objects hanging among the vine leaves that it was actually a grapevine!
A group of brown-yellow hen-sized birds fell from the sky and began to peck at bunches of grapes. You Feng recognized from the physical appearance of these birds that they were a group of thrushes!?
Soon, a crimson tendon shot out, wrapped around a thrush, and quickly put it into the open mouth. It was a gecko...
In such an early morning, many people have just woken up and are facing all this without preparation.
There were screams, car crashes, and the sound of buildings being destroyed everywhere. There were even accidental explosions in several places, setting off flames that shot into the sky. The sounds of ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars also began to sound everywhere.
The air raid sirens were sounded and roared repeatedly over the city, making people's hearts beat faster.
Some people were lucky enough to be in a place where there were no mutated plants or animals, but they gave up their original plan immediately and hid in the nearest building.
You Feng looked at the city and suddenly felt his eyes darken. He put down his binoculars and saw a black swallowtail butterfly flying slowly above their window...
He looked at the butterfly, which was the size of an adult, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Is this the end of the world?
Fan Qi was glad that she woke up late so that she would not face all this unprepared.
Their apartment has a higher floor, and although it has a lot of glass, it is not affected by plants and animals for the time being, because only some of the animals can fly, and they generally will not attack humans unless they are frightened.
In the city, all troops and fire fighters have been mobilized to rescue people whose lives are threatened, but the process is not smooth because some plants and animals can become extremely aggressive once disturbed.
In the past, this was just an instinctive reaction of living things, but now, a small and unconscious resistance of animals can pose a threat to human life.
After getting up, Fan Qi calmed down and rushed downstairs immediately, hugging You Xi tightly by the floor-to-ceiling window: "Don't look away, mom is here, don't be afraid!"
"Mom, don't worry, I'm not afraid. In fact, there's something I've been hiding from you for a long time -"
You Feng followed closely and closed the curtains to isolate the chaotic city outside: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. The troops have been dispatched. We just need to stay at home for the time being and wait for those strange plants and animals to be wiped out -
—”
As if in response to You Feng's words, a deafening explosion suddenly came from outside. The family of three reopened the curtains. It turned out that an explosion occurred at a gas station in the distance. A plant surrounded by flames caused the explosion.
The culprit, at this moment, the plant seemed to be alive as it was twisting its branches and leaves desperately in the fire, as if it wanted to get rid of the flames, but in the end it fired a circle of fire bombs around it, causing even greater damage and destruction.
…
This scene made You Feng feel cold in his heart. He closed the curtains again and turned around to comfort his family: "Let's stop reading. We will watch the news later and the official announcement will prevail. Don't worry, this matter will be solved just like before."
of!"
"Dad, don't be nervous. In fact, I already knew that these things would happen, and I was already prepared. I'm sorry that I kept it secret from you for so long—"
Fan Qi and You Feng looked at each other and neither answered her words. One continued to hug her and pat her back gently, while the other continued to comfort her.
"I wanted to tell you about this yesterday...don't worry, no matter what happens, our family of three can live well."
You Xi said, gesturing in the direction of the bathroom, "Okay, let's activate your passenger status first so that you can enter the Star Room, and then you will understand everything!"
You Feng:……
Fan Qi:......?
——It’s over, your daughter started talking nonsense...
——She usually seems to have a lot of ideas, why is she suddenly like this?
The two exchanged words with their eyes, and then continued to touch her head and pat her back, trying to comfort her: "...How about, Xixi, you go upstairs to sleep for a while?"
You Xi:……
Her words were really pale, even if it was already like this outside, her parents still didn't believe her words with such a serious face.
You Xi didn't say anything more, but pulled You Feng and Fan Qi towards the bathroom.
"Xixi, Mom just went to the toilet, don't be in a hurry now..."
You Xi didn't make a sound, and relied on his strength to directly pull the two of them to the bathroom door, then stepped forward and opened the bathroom door, and said to the two of them: "Mom and Dad, you come in first, this is the Star House - similar to
In an alien space, as long as you stay in the star house, you can avoid the harm of plants and animals.
I have registered you before. You already have the right to live in the star house. Just come in and activate it and you can officially move in. But I don't have the money to upgrade now. It's not big inside and there is no furniture. I can only make you sleep in it first.
Is there a floor, or can we just put a mattress on it?”
Fan Qi stood outside the door, feeling extremely complicated and glanced at her daughter standing by the toilet. She wanted to speak several times but couldn't bear it.
You Feng couldn't hold back, lowered his head and leaned into Fan Qi's ear: "...It's over, damn it, my daughter seems to be really scared crazy..."
Fan Qi nudged him with her elbow and lowered her voice: "Shut up..."
You Feng was silent.
For the two of them at this moment, it doesn't matter how the outside world is turned upside down. What if their most precious daughter is really overstimulated and mentally disturbed? It's so chaotic outside now that it's difficult to send her to the hospital.
You Xiguang could imagine their thoughts from their expressions. She remembered that in her eyes, this was a star house full of supplies, but because her parents had not activated the "Star House Passenger", in their eyes
Inside, the place she was in was still the bathroom.
Thinking of this, she stopped explaining, stretched out her hand and pulled the two of them in, and then said: "System, activate my parents' Star House Passengers' permissions!"
【Yes, host.】
In the eyes of You Feng and Fan Qi, You Xi seemed to have said something incomprehensible to the toilet or the shower room. The next second, a white light suddenly flashed in front of their eyes.
The two subconsciously closed their eyes. When they opened their eyes again after a while, they found that they were no longer in the original bathroom.
They were now in a strange room of about forty to fifty square meters. The room was light gray, with no furniture inside, and half of it was filled with various boxes stacked high.
There are two square-shaped windows in the front of the room. There are no curtains, so you can see the outside at a glance. On the left is a protruding entrance hall, where there is a closed black door.
[The Star House passengers of the host, You Feng and Fan Qi have been activated. They can enter and leave the Star House at will. The portable function of the Star House in their own world has been unlocked.]
The last words of the system made You Xi overjoyed: "Can my parents teleport back to the Star House from anywhere?"
[Yes, Star House travelers can teleport back to the Star House from anywhere in the world after being confirmed by the host. The cost of one move per person is 30 star coins. ]
You Xi:……
As expected of you, Star House System!
Chapter completed!
