Chapter 18 Don't Get Cheap and Be Good

The little green bud obediently rubbed against Gu Xi's fingertips, and the next moment its swelling surged, and it couldn't wait to rush into the black and colorful exotic plants.

Ten minutes later, Gu Xi took back his powers.

The alien plant that was still dark and colorful under the gloomy moonlight has now returned to the original color of the plant visible to the naked eye.

But the little green bud seemed a little dissatisfied. After picking up this alien plant, it was obviously not full yet, and eagerly stared at the alien plants next to it...

So much energy!

After it has devoured this large area, it can be upgraded.

Little Green Ya: I’m hungry, I need to upgrade.

But Gu Xi remained unmoved.

It is very difficult for ordinary superpower users to improve their superpower level. It requires not only the accumulation of quantity, but also talent, perception and opportunity, all of which are indispensable.

But Gu Xi is different.

She is now a max-level boss rebuilding her trumpet, but it is a road she has walked once before, and now she can walk it again with almost no obstacles.

So Gu Xi is not in a hurry. The energy on the left and right is here, and it can't escape. Sooner or later it will all be hers.

But the little green bud was very anxious.

It began to circle around her fingertips, and used the two small leaves at the top to rub Gu Xi's fingertips...

Gu Xi smiled silently at the pain, raised her hand and poked the young green sprout: Be good, and you will get something to eat later.

Little Luya felt aggrieved:...Okay then.

One night passed quickly.

After dawn, Wei Heng walked out of the container house, washed his face with cold water, steamed the sweet potatoes in a pot, and then boiled a pot of hot water.

Just as he was about to turn around to wake Gu Xi up, he saw Gu Xi slowly walking out of the forest behind him.

Wei Heng was stunned for a moment: "Gu Xi, you got up so early?" Where did you go this early in the morning?

Gu Xi: "I went to the mountains for some morning exercise."

"Morning exercise?" Wei Heng's eyes fell on her clothes and he frowned slightly.

These were the new clothes he had just changed for her yesterday, but now they were damp and wrinkled, stained with a lot of dirt and grass clippings, and even the piece on the back connected to the shoulders seemed to have a cut.

?

What kind of morning exercise can produce such an effect?

Gu Xi also followed his gaze and looked at the new clothes she was wearing, and then... fell silent.

She used to live a life of fighting and killing, and she was used to it. When fighting, she only focused on the results...

Gu Xi sighed and saw that Wei Heng was still staring at her clothes, so she adjusted her clothes uncomfortably: "There was heavy dew in the morning, and I accidentally slipped and fell during the morning exercise..."

"Ah, are you okay?" Wei Heng became nervous instantly and looked her up and down carefully.

"It's okay." Gu Xi shook her head and told the truth: "I am a superpower after all, I'm really not that delicate."

Seeing that Wei Heng was hesitant to speak, Gu Xi had no choice but to change the topic and asked him instead: "Is there hot water?"

Wei Heng saw that apart from her face being a little pale, she really didn't look injured, so he turned around and poured a basin of hot water for her, without letting her do anything, and took her directly to the house.

"You wash up first and then change your clothes. The sweet potatoes will be steamed soon." Before going out, he closed the door for her very thoughtfully.

Gu Xi: Her roommate is really nice.

After breakfast, Wei Heng dug out a bottle of black potion from the house.

This was what the staff there recommended to him yesterday when he went to the camp to change the soil nutrient solution. He said it was a herbicide newly developed by the research institute, which could effectively inhibit the reproduction of certain wild exotic plants...



Wei Heng saw that the price was not expensive, so he bought a bottle.

He was thinking, wouldn't their land need to be sprinkled with nutrient solution? If the weeds jumped out as soon as the nutrient solution was sprinkled on it and took over the fertility in the soil, wouldn't that be a waste of his nutrient solution?

This nutrient solution is not cheap.

After studying the use of the herbicide for a while, Wei Heng carried a large wooden bucket and went out. The land outside was only reclaimed yesterday, and now there are only a few weeds sprouting up.

This cannot be delayed.

When Gu Xi saw this, he was about to help, but Wei Hengyi refused categorically - how could a girl do such strenuous work?

Gu Xi: "..."

Although this was not the first time that Wei Heng took care of her as a delicate girl, but what should I say?

Just, this experience... is quite novel.

Gu Xi looked around and saw that she didn't have to farm the land now, and Wei Heng had taken care of the housework. There was really nothing to do, so Gu Xi decided to go back to the house and lie down for a while.

She had to think carefully about the future path.

I originally thought that with these strange plants all over the mountains and plains, it would be easy to restore the supernatural powers.

But reality poured a bucket of cold water on her last night.

——It is possible for her to forcibly restore her power level through plunder, but her body cannot support it.

She doesn't know what happened in the past thirty years. Her current body can support level 8 superpowers at its limit. She almost fell over on the malignant mutant plant last night.

This also forced Gu Xi to forcefully lower his abilities back to the level of early level 4 after the fight.

Gu Xi sighed.

It seems that there is no need to rush the restoration of superpowers, it must be done step by step.

First of all, you must have a strong body...

There is actually nothing wrong with her body now, but she is inexplicably much weaker than before. It is like a thirty-year-old special forces king and a five- or six-year-old girl. There is nothing wrong with her body, but the difference is a bit big.

But Gu Xi had never been an impatient person. After thinking clearly, she lay on the bed for a while to recuperate before opening the door and walking out.

By the stream, the two Qin sisters were playing with the water pump. When they saw Gu Xi, they waved to her from afar.

Gu Xi thought for a while and walked over slowly.

"Gu Xi, you're here." The sweet girl Qin Yi wiped her hands and said, "My sister is going to build a large water storage pond here later. It will be convenient for us to use water in the future."

Qin Shi has an earth element ability, so it is convenient to use it.

Qin Shi saw Gu Xi looking over, and while playing with the water pump, she nodded lightly and said, "Wei Heng also changed a lot of water pipes yesterday. You can go find them later and I will help you get them."

Gu Xi had seen Qin Shi's hands-on ability yesterday.

It's good to have someone to help, but it's not good for her to take advantage of others in vain.

Gu Xi thought for a while and said, "Thank you. Then at noon, can I treat you to sweet potatoes?"

The Qin sisters looked at each other: Today’s lunch is ready!



At the same time, the outer reaches of the Daheng Mountains were more than 300 miles away.

This is the forefront of mankind's efforts to regain lost territory, and it is also one of the forward bases of military combat teams.

In the makeshift medical clinic, Shen Yue was half lying on the bed, with one leg slightly bent and the other straight. It was obviously a very leisurely and lazy posture, but there was a faint sense of vigorous strength that was ready to go.

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and Shen Yue raised his eyes to look, his eyes were indifferent and careless, but inexplicably gave people a strong sense of oppression.

The little soldier on duty gave a military salute and silently stepped aside to let the people behind him come.

After seeing clearly who the visitor was, Shen Yue was slightly startled, and then the corners of his lips slowly curved into a lazy arc.

"Old man, why are you here?" He lay back on the bed and asked with a smile.

Although he called the visitor an old man, he looked to be in his early forties.

He seemed a little dissatisfied with Shen Yue's laziness, frowned and glared at him, then strode to the bedside and sat down, with a condensed expression: "Satellite 11 detected abnormal energy fluctuations in the NC9257018 area around 5 a.m. , suspected of malignant transformation of the transplanted plant."

The laziness on Shen Yue's face instantly disappeared, and his fingertips moved slightly.

He slowly sat up straight and asked, "Did you take any pictures?"

The visitor slowly shook his head, his face a little ugly: "The satellite did not capture the image in time..."

This is also something that can't be helped.

The end of the world came too suddenly, causing the entire human society to be in chaos for a long time, and most of the satellites also lost control.

Over the years, although mankind has gradually regained lost ground and launched several satellites one after another, the monitoring of the ground is still not as good as before.

"After receiving the news, the nearby camp sent a drone to check this morning, but no malignant mutant plants were found. They only photographed a large area of ​​naturally withered wild mutant plants nearby..."

"Shen Yue, you should know what this means!" The visitor frowned slightly and looked at Shen Yue solemnly.

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at his old man: "You want me to go? Come on, I'm still injured... If you really encounter a powerful malignant mutation, don't you be afraid to kill your son's body?" Where was my fate given?"

Shen Zhennan glared at his son angrily: "Shen Yue! Don't let me get an advantage and act like a good boy..."

With that said, he clicked on his personal terminal: "Why do you think I want you to go? Qin Shi and the others' mission target this time is in area nc9257018..."

"You went there this time, ostensibly to investigate the disappearance of malignant mutations, but actually..."

He turned his light screen in front of his son and said with a tigerish face: "Look carefully. If I hadn't thought that you were injured, would it be your turn to have good things happen this time?"

Shen Yue did not look at the light screen, but looked at his old man with a look like "With a biological father like you, will something good happen to me?", his lips thinned little by little. Hooked up: "Really?"

He didn't believe it.

In the past, if there was such a good thing, the old man would only hand it over to Lao Ye's special service team.

Shen Zhennan frowned slightly and said with a cold expression: "Shen Yue!"

If it weren't for the fact that this mission was very important and he had to find someone he could trust and meet, he would have wanted to close the light screen and leave right away.

Shen Yue shrugged: "Okay, then I'll take a look?" You can't really make the old man angry, can you?

Then you can't go to a military court.

There is very little information about this mission, only a few lines.

After Shen Yue read it, his eyes fell on the last line of the information with some scrutiny, and he frowned slightly.

After a while, he raised his head and asked his old man: "The one who discovered the mission target in the ruins of NX1984 was the former Wei Heng of the Special Forces Team?"

He and Wei Heng didn't know each other, but they were all in the same system, and he had vaguely heard about Wei Heng.

After all, the incident half a year ago was quite a big deal.

Shen Zhennan nodded solemnly: "Yes. But I checked and found that there was no problem with the screening of the ruins area of ​​nx1984. The third team was directly responsible for it, and no other forces intervened during the period."

After a pause, the old general frowned slightly and seemed to be talking to himself: "That little girl seems to have appeared out of thin air..."

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows: That's it? It's okay?

However, thinking of the information he had just read, Shen Yue's heart moved.

He licked his dry and white lips and said in one breath: "I accepted this mission. But how to solve the identity problem?"

In recent years, with the restoration of human order, major bases have successively received many refugees who returned from the ruined areas.

These refugees who have lived alone in the ruined areas for a long time almost all have one characteristic in common - they are cautious and very wary by nature, and it is difficult to trust anyone except themselves.

The target of this mission looks young, but she is a little girl who grew up alone in the ruins. Who knows what she has experienced?

That vigilance may not be as strong as usual.

The appearance of the two sisters Qin Shi can be explained with difficulty, but if another person with supernatural powers appears and hangs around the little girl... I am afraid it will be difficult not to make people suspicious.

"Don't worry about this." Shen Zhennan stood up and said: "The issue of identity has been arranged by the superiors. A helicopter will come to pick you up in the afternoon. You can prepare and leave in the evening."

"Remember, this mission is top secret!"
