Chapter 13 The days are still long, and the meal must be eaten
At the same time, Wei Heng in the container house next door was also thinking about this matter.
A few days ago, some of the large equipment at the camp had not yet arrived, and with nothing to do, Uncle Zhou organized everyone to go out on a scavenging adventure.
The ruins area of NX1984 is said to have been a trading town with very developed commerce before the end of the world.
Nowadays, things from before the end of the world are very rare, and they can usually be sold for a lot of money when brought back to the base.
Wei Heng followed him as he had nothing to do.
Later, he accidentally found Gu Xi unconscious in the weeds...
Before today, Wei Heng always thought that this was just an accident.
But Gu Xi's reaction today... made Wei Heng have to wonder, maybe there is something hidden behind this matter?
Wei Heng felt a little regretful at this moment. At noon today, he should not have sent a message to that person in a moment of excitement.
But the fact that Gu Xi could grow sweet potatoes with extremely low coefficient of variation shocked him so much at the time! If the coefficient of variation of those sweet potatoes could be stabilized and promoted as seeds...
Perhaps this will be an opportunity to solve the food crisis in the end of the world.
Moreover, I am afraid this matter cannot be hidden... With Gu Xi's financial situation, some of those sweet potatoes will eventually be sold.
So he hesitated and sent a message to that person.
But what he didn't expect was that Gu Xi's identity might be more complicated than he had guessed before, and it might be a big deal.
After a moment of silence, Wei Heng opened his personal terminal. He wanted to ask that person...
But before sending the message, Wei Heng suddenly changed his mind. He found the communication number that he had forgotten for a long time, and then reorganized and edited a message:
[Captain Ye, I want to know what happened after that incident...]
After the message was sent successfully, Wei Heng closed his eyes.
Late at night, after dealing with another incident where monsters broke out and injured people, Ye Junhan took off his tactical gloves, washed his face with cold water, and then opened his personal terminal.
Looking at the sudden message from the person who had not contacted him for a long time, Ye Junhan frowned slightly.
After a while, he replied: Got it, waiting for my message.
…
Early the next morning, after the two ate another meal of sweet potatoes, Wei Heng got on the farm machine. He planned to clear out the wasteland this morning and plant all of it with sweet potatoes.
In the afternoon, I dragged it back to the camp to replace the generator, seeds, and living supplies...
Gu Xi watched him do it for a while, thought about it, and decided to go to the forest to catch butterflies - she had to eat these tomatoes.
At this moment, two sisters from the Qin family on the other side suddenly came over.
Qin Yi pointed to the cold-haired girl next to him with short hair, smiled and introduced to Gu Xi: "This is my sister, Qin Shi."
Qin Shi nodded slightly to her coldly: "Hello."
"Hello." Gu Xi didn't mind Qin Shi's cold attitude. In the past, she had a friend who was even colder than this in her apocalyptic team...
Thinking of my old friends... I wonder what they are like now?
After getting the personal terminal that night, Ye Zhen wanted to check the current situation of her friends, but the personal terminal allocated to the pioneers by the base was only a basic model with single functions and many permissions were not open.
Gu Xi didn't find many useful things. He only vaguely guessed that two former friends should be at the central base now...
More, there will be no more.
But Gu Xi was not in a hurry.
Of course she will find out what happened to her inexplicable disappearance for thirty years!
Whether there was something really wrong with that glass of wine, or something else happened to her while she was drunk, it still needs to be clarified.
But what happens after you figure it out?
As early as thirty years ago, studies have shown that superpowers can extend human lifespan, and the lifespan of high-level superpowers is even predicted to be over 200 years old!
So even counting the thirty years she lost inexplicably, she is only 58 years old now.
The days are still long, and food must be eaten.
What's more, compared to the days of fighting and killing in the past, she prefers the leisurely days of opening up wasteland and farming now.
Gu Xi looked at the vast wasteland allocated to her by the country and felt particularly at ease.
"Gu Xi," Qin Yi glanced at Wei Heng who was clearing the wasteland, and then asked Gu Xi, "Are you planning to clear all these lands at once? Are you going to plant something?"
"Grow sweet potatoes." Gu Xi replied casually, thinking of the small bag of tomato seeds again, and turned back to ask Qin Yi: "I heard from Wei Heng that you came from another camp and brought a lot of seeds with you...
"
"Yes." Qin Yi smiled and nodded, opened his personal terminal directly, and showed it to her: "Wei Heng said, you came out in a hurry and didn't bring anything with you...
Take a look and see if there is anything useful. You can take it and plant it first, and then you can return it to us after it comes out."
Qin Yi behaved calmly.
Gu Xi glanced at the long list of seeds and asked in surprise: "Why do you have so many seeds..." Didn't Wei Heng say that the base has regulations and that everyone can receive a certain number of seeds?
Qin Yi smiled playfully and said embarrassedly: "What, my sister and I are farming for the first time. We don't know what to plant or what we can grow, so we bought every kind of seed.
point……"
So rich.
Gu Xi thought of her account with a balance of 0 and fell silent.
Qin Yi is a very generous, cheerful, enthusiastic and talkative girl who also loves to laugh.
After learning that Gu Xi was going to the mountains and forests to catch butterflies to pollinate tomatoes, she went with Gu Xi without thinking, leaving her sister behind to help Wei Heng clear up wasteland.
Along the way, the sweet girl Qin Yi even took the initiative to reveal the situation of her sisters: her elder sister is an earth element user, and her younger sister is a wood and water element user.
Gu Xi heard that she was a water element user and couldn't help but take another look at her: Water and wood elements? No wonder her affinity is so strong.
It's just... as far as she knows, the country's population is less than 100 million, and there are less than 1 million registered superpowers, and most of them have joined the military or official organizations.
There are very few people with super powers, and those in the wild are almost never seen.
However, now she met two at once, one of them was a dual-power user?
Moreover, the abilities of these two sisters are not low. The elder sister is at the elementary level of level 8, and the younger sister is also at the intermediate level of dual-level 7 levels.
You must know that it is very difficult for a superpower to break through the barrier between level 6 and level 7 and become a high-level superpower. It requires not only opportunities, but also talent and understanding.
Some people, throughout their lives, never reach that threshold.
Therefore, these two sisters are considered masters even in the military.
Now he appears in the wilderness and becomes her new neighbor to open up wasteland and farm?
"Gu Xi, look." Suddenly, Qin Yi pointed to the front and said happily, "There is a big butterfly over there!"
She already knew that Gu Xi caught butterflies to pollinate tomatoes, and Qin Yi also wanted to eat tomatoes, tomatoes with a low coefficient of variation.
Before Gu Xi could take action, Qin Yi took action.
——The rose vine rolled up a large butterfly whose wings were wet with water vapor and could not fly at an extremely fast speed, and delivered it to Gu Xi.
The whole set of movements was smooth and neat, showing a strong fighting ability.
"Gu Xi, can you look at them?" Xu thought that she would be able to eat delicious tomatoes soon. The sweet girl Qin Yi was very happy. The dimples on her face became sweeter and she looked at Gu Xi with bright eyes.
Gu Xi was silent, "...It should be okay."
Qin Yi opened his eyes slightly and looked at her blankly: "Ah?"
Gu Xi told the truth: "...I have never tried it before."
Before, she used her superpower to grow fruit. It was simple, crude, and very effective. She could eat it in minutes. Why was it so troublesome?
But the situation is unclear now, and Gu Xi doesn't want to show too much abnormality.
Especially after learning that his own powers can enhance certain abilities of plants.
"That's it..." Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Whether it works or not, let's catch a few more and take them back to try?"
Gu Xi had no objection, thought for a while and then said: "I saw in the video that insects such as bees and butterflies can not only pollinate tomatoes, but also crops such as pumpkins and watermelons..."
Qin Yi's eyes lit up: "I just happened to bring watermelon seeds!"
Gu Xi fell silent again.
Today, the mutation rate of plants is 100%, and the coefficient of variation of most plants is extremely high and extremely unstable.
As we all know, the growth cycle of fruits is generally relatively long, and many fruits are perennial plants.
The longer the growth cycle, the greater the possibility of high coefficient of variation.
In the current situation where it is difficult to have enough to eat, except for people with wood powers, ordinary people generally will not choose to grow fruits - it is almost 100% loss of money.
But even those with wood powers cannot guarantee that the fruits they grow will be edible.
That's why fruit has become such a rare item today.
Especially fruits with low coefficient of variation.
Qin Yi is a wood-type psychic, so it's not surprising that she has watermelon seeds in her hand.
But judging from her words, it seemed that she hadn't eaten watermelon for a long time, and she showed an unusually strong desire for watermelon.
This is a bit strange. This chapter has been completed!
