Peter pressed his hands on the edge of the bed, and just as he was about to exert force, a grainy feeling that shouldn't exist made his whole body stiffen, and his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip.
Under the palm he had just used to wipe away sweat, there was the normal hard touch of the edge of the bed, but the other hand was held tightly for some reason. When he exerted force, a clear grainy feeling came from the palm of his hand.
Peter lowered his head stiffly, slowly stretched out his hand, and spread out his fingers one by one. A few unidentifiable seeds were lying in the palm of his hand. They were brightly colored and had an unreal beauty.
"Hell, this is... the seed I got in a dream?!"
Peter could no longer control the horror in his heart and screamed out in surprise. His voice became sharp and distorted due to the loss of control of his emotions, and it broke directly.
He jumped down from the bed and raised his hand to throw a few seeds out, but as soon as he raised his hand, he forcibly stopped.
"No, I brought these seeds back from a dream. They might have some magical power. I should observe them before deciding what to do with them."
"When Bucky comes back, let him help me analyze the situation. I must have overlooked some details. The dream... did I accidentally enter some strange space in the dream?"
Peter slowly sat down on the stone bench, and calmed down in his heart. His reason successfully overcame his instinctive fear when facing unknown and strange situations.
Peter, who knew a lot of secrets and knew some magic and dimensional conditions, almost instantly realized what might have happened to him.
"Peter, what happened?"
At this time, Bucky, who was exercising outside, heard Peter's exclamation and rushed in with a nervous look on his face, bringing with him a breath of fresh morning air.
His mechanical fists were clenched tightly, and on his flesh and blood arm, a large-caliber submachine gun was loaded.
"Bucky, I... I had a very strange dream!"
Peter calmed down, spoke in a dry voice, then looked at Bucky, slowly opened his palms, and displayed a few strange seeds in Bucky's sight.
"Huh?"
Bucky, who thought something had happened to Peter, frowned in confusion, picked up a seed and put it in front of his eyes to observe carefully.
"Last night, I was in a dream..."
Peter swallowed, and under Bucky's inquiring eyes, he recounted his experience in the dream.
Outside the cave, not far from the side, there is a flat earth with no stones.
There is a small vegetable garden here, with a rough fence surrounded by branches, and some vegetables such as radishes, potatoes, and cabbage are planted in it.
This is one of the food sources for Peter and Bucky. After all, they cannot completely rely on taking risks and trying their luck in the city to obtain food.
Growing your own vegetables is the best option.
In fact, they wanted to raise some livestock at first, but they had no experience in raising livestock. After raising them a few times, they became confused.
What's more, there are too many things that need to be paid attention to when raising livestock, such as handling manure, preparing feed, preventing diseases, arranging livestock pens...
The most important thing is that animals are not as quiet as humans. They are easily stressed and like to roar when nothing happens.
Moreover, if too many creatures gather together, the strong smell of flesh and blood emitted will very likely attract zombies.
They had attracted zombies once before and had to move their base.
The current cave base is where they moved to.
Therefore, even if they occasionally catch livestock, they just dispose of it quickly and store it as food, without any thought of raising it.
However, vegetables did not have this problem, so they opened their own vegetable garden and planted some vegetable seeds collected in the city.
The two people who didn't know how to grow vegetables, in order to be able to harvest more food and have a safe and stable food source, they unexpectedly mastered their vegetable growing skills to the point of proficiency.
With the help of Bucky, Peter opened up a small piece of land next to the vegetable garden, and then carefully planted a few seeds obtained from the dream.
After finishing all this, Peter cleaned the dirt on his hands and looked at Bucky who was standing beside him without saying a word, his eyes fixed on several pits in the dirt.
"Bucky, tell me, is it too dangerous for us to do this? After all, I got these seeds from my dream. If there is something hidden in them..."
Peter's tone was full of anxiety. Every time he said a few words, he would glance at the pits and subconsciously move his steps away, as if he was guarding against some scourge.
"Peter, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to gain more powerful power. This power that can transcend dreams and reality may be the hope we have been looking for!"
Bucky did not move, still staring at the pits intently, speaking in a low voice, and rarely spoke for a long time.
There was a trace of hope and expectation in his eyes as he looked at the pit that Peter couldn't bear to refute.
"Steve has turned into a zombie, looking for flesh and blood everywhere, but I can't make him return to normal, or let him rest in peace completely!"
Bucky's fists were clenched tightly. Thinking of his good friend's current situation, a trace of sadness and weakness appeared on his face.
Peter opened his mouth, thinking of Tony who had also turned into a zombie and other familiar people, his eyes became sad for a while.
"And now...Peter, you don't know why you came into contact with the magical dream world, and you even brought back strange seeds!"
The voice of Bucky is a little higher, like grasping at a straw in Extremis.
He looked at Peter fiercely, and the heat in his eyes made Peter dare not look directly and wanted to look away.
"You said that you saw a lot of Avengers things inside, and you also saw a lot of treasures you had never seen before, and you sensed powerful existences in the sky that you didn't even dare to look at, but in the end you came back unscathed!"
"Not only that, you brought back the seeds you gained inside!"
"What if..."
Bucky's voice became dry, he pursed his lips and continued, "If... you can still enter that world and get more things from it, and then bring them out."
He looked directly into Peter's eyes. "We have a steady stream of supplies and the power to deal with zombies, and even..."
"... There is even a chance to find the power to destroy the zombie virus inside!"
Peter's breathing became more and more rapid as Bucky spoke, and his face turned red due to the surging blood.
"Bucky, you are right!"
"Tonight... no... I will go to bed right away. I hope... no... I must enter that magical dream world again!"
Thinking of the unknown danger hanging in the sky that he sensed in his dream that made every pore in his body resist, Peter's eyes revealed a trace of hesitation. However, after seeing Bucky's expectant eyes, Peter gritted his teeth, and only determination remained in his heart.
