Li Jian didn't deny it, he just knelt down slowly in front of Zhang Yi.

"Sorry! We didn't protect the child you left behind."

"I know you are very angry, but under these conditions, we have done our best. If you want to kill me, kill me! But please don't hurt other people, they are innocent."

After Li Jian said this, he calmly prepared to die.

He didn't intend to die, but as the building leader of 18#, he knew that if he didn't die, it would be difficult to appease Zhang Yi's anger.

But at this moment, an old man's voice suddenly came from inside the building.

"Li Jian, you must not die! If you die, all of us will have no hope of living!"

Zhang Yi looked up at the room on the 6th floor.

A group of people appeared there, and the person standing at the front looked familiar. It seemed to be the old man who took the grain seeds with Li Jian back then.

The old man's name is Ge Chenghua, and he is a highly respected professor of agriculture.

He led a group of neighbors over, all of them had firm expressions on their faces.

"Zhang Yi, it's our fault for not feeding the child you sent. But Li Jian is our hope, please let him go and let me die for him!"

Ge Chenghua looked at Zhang Yi without fear, and said firmly.

"If you want revenge, take my life! Anyway, I have enough to live."

Said an old lady with gray hair.

"Let me come, kill me!"

"I'm a bachelor and I'm not afraid of death!"

……

The neighbors scrambled forward to die instead of Li Jian.

Li Jian burst into tears with excitement, "You..."

The scene of this group of people rushing to die made Zhang Yi a little moved, but also a little speechless.

He sneered and asked, "Who said I want you to die?"

Li Jian looked at Zhang Yi in astonishment, bowed his head and said guiltily: "We didn't support the child you sent over. You can't forgive us, right?"

Zhang Yi took a deep breath, looking at Li Jian and his group as if they were mentally handicapped.

It turned out that Xie Limei's child died.

Sure enough, there are not so many miracles in this world.

An infant child is too fragile to get sick even in peaceful times, let alone in the freezing temperatures of the Ice Age.

The reason why Li Jian and others were afraid was because they thought that child was very important to Zhang Yi.

But he didn't know that Zhang Yi threw the child to them because he felt that the child was a burden.

If it wasn't because he was afraid that he would have demons, he would have sent that child away with his own hands.

Now that she died, she died, and Zhang Yi didn't care.

So Zhang Yi said: "I know you have nothing to do about this kind of thing. Li Jian, get up!"

Zhang Yi asked Li Jian to stand up and stop kneeling.

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Li Jian was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.

Don't you have to die?

Li Jian was very moved, and felt that Zhang Yi was really a good person with a human touch.

The neighbors of 18# also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I want to know how you have survived until now. What is it that you rely on? Tell me in detail! I'm curious."

Zhang Yi directly stated his purpose for coming here.

Li Jian naturally didn't dare to hide anything, he stretched out his hand to ask Zhang Yi to enter the unit building.

"You can come and see all this with your own eyes, and I will explain it to you slowly."

Zhang Yi looked at the dark corridor, reached out and touched Huahua's head, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

With this super bodyguard around, he really wasn't afraid of any danger.

Li Jian led the way, and Zhang Yi walked upstairs with him.

On the way, Li Jian told him what happened during this period.

"Since we got the seeds you gave us, we have tried various methods to make them take root and grow."

"But the results after trying it are not very good, and a large number of seeds are dying. Even if there are some that survive, their vitality is very weak."

"At one point we were all desperate, and even considered organizing a group of death squads to go out to find food."

"But at this time, a group of believers who call themselves Snow Worship Sect came."

Zhang Yi's eyes flashed brightly, "Bai Xuejiao? You mean, you are able to survive now because of their help?"

Li Jian did not dare to hide anything from Zhang Yi.

He said: "Their people came to find me. They said they could help us survive and give me extraordinary abilities."

"At that time, we had no other way to go, so I agreed to their conditions."

"Anyway, everyone is going to die, and now we will accept no matter what the conditions are."

Zhang Yi was also very curious about what kind of conditions the other party put forward in order to be able to get back what they paid.

But Li Jian said: "But they said, as long as we believe in the Snow God, nothing else is needed."

A sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth.

He never believed that there is a free lunch in the world.

A certain penguin used himself as an example to teach countless young people across the country that free things are the most expensive!

"Then what ability do you have now?"

Zhang Yi stared at Li Jian and asked.

Li Jian replied honestly: "He planted a white seed in the center of my eyebrow, right here."

Li Jian stretched out his hand and tapped the position between his eyebrows.

"I felt like my whole body was thrown into an ice cellar, and then there was another burst of fire-like heat."

"Afterwards, my body produced a strange power. You see!"

In front of Zhang Yi, Li Jian rolled up the clothes on his right arm.

Zhang Yi saw a very strange scene, and he believed that any intensive phobia patient would feel his scalp go numb when he saw this scene.

Under the skin of Li Jian's skinny arm, there are bumps one after another, and there are dense web-shaped roots deeply piercing into the flesh and blood.

The entire arm is no longer like a human arm, but like a petri dish, and every place the eyes can see is this kind of raised bump.

"What is this?"

Zhang Yi swallowed his saliva, feeling somewhat resistant to this weird feeling, but he still asked.

Li Jian said: "These are the seeds of food."

He looked at Zhang Yi and showed a weak smile: "My ability is to use my own body to cultivate plants. The grain seeds cultivated by my body will not only have more vitality, but also grow faster."

Zhang Yi was silent.

He just took a deep look at the scrawny Li Jian, and finally understood why he became the inhuman and ghost-like person he is now.

"Just using your flesh and blood to cultivate food, but it can't satisfy the nutrients needed for planting, right?"

Zhang Yi said lightly.

"Ah! This problem is easy to solve. We have Professor Ge here. He is an expert in the field of agriculture!"

Li Jian led Zhang Yi to the door of a room, and when he reached out to unscrew the doorknob, he looked at Zhang Yi apologetically.

"The following pictures may make you feel a little uncomfortable, please forgive me."

Zhang Yi smiled disapprovingly: "Do you think there is anything I haven't seen?"

"Ah, that's what I said."

After Li Jian finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and opened the door.

A touch of greenness came into Zhang Yi's eyes.

He felt the warm and humid air, and his eyes were crisp and green, and everything in this room was indeed full of weirdness.

This is a planting room, which is full of various cultivated grains, which are lush and grow very vigorously.

But the place where they took root was not the soil—it was corpses.

Plants take root on the corpse, absorb nutrients, and grow vigorously.

Li Jian said to Zhang Yi: "Because of the lack of nutrients, we can only attack the dead residents of the community."

Zhang Yi curled his lips and said with a smile: "Isn't this good? At least you know how to recycle waste. This way you don't have to feel morally guilty because of cannibalism, and you don't waste any resources."

He suddenly thought of something, and asked Li Jiandao: "Then those tombs outside were also built by you to store corpses?"

Li Jian nodded in embarrassment: "That's true."

Zhang Yi looked in the room and found that the food was growing very well.

And those corpses have long been drained of nutrients and turned into bones.

There is still a lot of soil on the corpse, and the remaining nutrients and microorganisms will be absorbed by the soil.

Really nothing goes to waste.

"How many cultivation rooms like this are there in your unit building?"

Zhang Yi reached out and squeezed the leaves of a wheat plant, asking casually.

"There are three rooms in total."

"Well, yes, it's good to be self-reliant."

Zhang Yi glanced at Li Jian, "But if you go on like this, you will die!"

In the three cultivation rooms, each seed grew by absorbing Li Jian's flesh and blood.

For him, what is overdrawn is vitality, which is tantamount to exchanging his life for the hope of food growth.

Li Jian scratched his head, laughed and said, "Anyway, at this time, even if you don't do anything, you still have to die!"

"It's better to try my best to do something, and then... let my wife and children live."

When Li Jian mentioned his wife and son, his eyes were full of warmth.

That's a thing called love.

Zhang Yi couldn't help feeling a little admiration for Li Jian.

Maybe one day he will do the same when he has kids.

But that day, at least until after the end of the world.

"Li Jian, let me see your ability!"

Zhang Yi put away his sympathy and stared at Li Jian seriously.

So far, he has seen many man-made aliens, so let's call them transformed people for the time being.

And the ability to transform people is much worse than that of naturally awakened aliens.

Li Jian's ability was very practical, but he didn't show a strong enough aspect.

Zhang Yi wanted to confirm to what extent the so-called snow-worshiping religious decree could stimulate people's potential.

Li Jian was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and then agreed with firm eyes.

Although this kind of thing hurt his body a lot, he couldn't refuse Zhang Yi, or he was not qualified to negotiate terms.

"I understand, now I will show you my ability!"
