MTL - Please Spare Me a Tail-v2 Chapter 54
Bai Xiaohu, who was very tired from cutting down trees, got help from her good employee Lu Ye on the first night.
Lu Ye came back from exterminating insects outside at night, and came to look for Bai Xiaohu, because there was a bad effect of staying overnight, and the danger of being thrown out by people around Bai Xiaohu, such as that time. I have to pretend to say goodbye first, and then quietly climb back over the wall.
When Lu Ye's head appeared outside the window and tapped on the glass window lightly, Bai Xiaohu immediately opened the window for him to let him in, then closed the curtains, and then... the whole person couldn't help but laugh.
Lu Ye looked at her helplessly, not knowing which point of laughter she had been poked at.
Bai Xiaohu tilted his head on the bed with a smile: "Is it a little bit like a private meeting in the middle of the night behind our parents' backs?"
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Bai Xiaohu finished laughing and said, "Actually, I can go to your place. I am better at climbing walls than you. I will never be discovered."
This Lu Yexin, after all, she is the one who can quietly climb up to the 24th floor, and he, the white head squad does a good job of night patrolling, and what electronic security system is there, if he is not good at it, Really will be found.
But: "Even if someone comes to look for me at night, it's fine if I'm not in the room, how about you?"
Bai Xiaohu was stopped by questioning, if someone asked her for something and found that she was not in the room, they would definitely look for her everywhere.
"Okay, stop talking about this, and go into the space."
Bai Xiaohu nodded, and led him into the space together with the two little ones whose status and function are now equivalent to pets.
Bai Xiaohu chopped down thousands of trees today, and his spiritual energy was exhausted a bit. Lu Ye also found that she was a little tired, so he refused to let her do it. He unbuttoned the two buttons on his neckline, rolled up his sleeves, and started to chop down trees. The proficiency and high efficiency are stronger than before.
Bai Xiaohu looked at it for a while, then went to the valley full of aura to practice.
By the time she finished her few big weekends and came back refreshed and dressed, Lu Ye had cut down a hilltop and left big trees and stumps lying all over the ground. He had already moved on to the next battlefield.
Bai Xiaohu also went to help. She also got some saplings and decided to let people plant them slowly.
After cutting down thousands of trees, the two finally rested and started cooking as before.
It's a pity that there are not many things to eat in the space, except for small wild animals such as pheasants and rabbits, the larger ones hidden in the mountains and forests, or the birds and cranes in the sky, all of which are old, and Bai Xiaohu does not. If you are willing to eat them, other things you can eat are fruits and the like.
Bai Xiaohu looked at Lu Ye's grilled fish, and suddenly said: "What do you like to eat, let's grow some here, it's not good to eat grilled fish and chicken all at once."
Lu Ye originally wanted to say that he could bring food in from outside, but the words turned into: "You are not afraid that such a good paradise will become a farm."
Bai Xiaohu hugged his knees and rested his chin on the back of his hands: "That's pretty good, it's always so boring. By the way, you haven't looked at our team's farm carefully yet, you can take a look after the bugs are caught. , I buried some spirit stones in the farm."
"Spirit stone?"
"That's right, the energy in the space you feel is all aura, and aura comes from spirit stones, and spirit stones come from spirit veins. The reason why this space can become a small world on its own is because of the continuous generation of aura, One very important reason is that there are several spiritual veins buried here."
As Bai Xiaohu said, he took Lu Ye to the Lingmai to have a look. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary mountain, but if you go into the cave, you can pick it up and it will turn out to be a Lingshi.
Bai Xiaohu bent down and picked out a spirit stone, and showed it to Lu Ye: "This is the spirit stone."
Lu Ye looked at it carefully, and found that it was a bit like crystal and a bit like jade, an irregular piece, not very transparent.
"I didn't feel the aura."
"Of course, the thing that can make you feel the aura is because it is constantly emitting aura. The main function of the spirit stone is to store the aura. If it also emits the aura all the time, you can release the aura by yourself after a while." What's the value if it's all gone?"
Bai Xiaohu thought for a while, then a thought came to his mind, and he immediately said, "Let's go, I have an idea."
With a thought, she brought Lu Ye back to the lake. Lu Ye accepted her ability very well, and continued to roast his fish calmly, while Bai Xiaohu raised her pot that was hard enough to be used as a hammer, Start smashing spirit stones.
Lu Ye: "..."
Lu Ye just watched silently, and he didn't dare to ask.
Bai Xiaohu smashed the spirit stone into small pieces, and then used the bottom of the pot to grind the spirit stone, creaking and creaking, and the cats and chickens couldn't stand it and hid far away, only Lu Ye remained steadfast.
After the fish was roasted, Bai Xiaohu also shaped the spirit stone into a flat disc shape, and then she plucked a hair from her hair belt, and turned it into an extremely sharp thing, poking on the disc. stamp.
Lu Ye looked at it and didn't obstruct it, just picked off the fish, cleaned the bones, and brought it to her mouth, Bai Xiaohu ate it without looking at it.
Lu Ye just finished feeding a fish quietly, and then the yellow-clay beggar chicken was cooked, so he started feeding the chicken again.
Bai Xiaohu was able to balance both food and work. After poking a hole on the top of the disc, she carved a simple rune on it with a sharp thorn turned from Mao Mao. Finally, she blew on it and said with a smile: "You're done!" !"
She handed this crystal-clear thing to Lu Ye: "Here you are."
Lu Ye was taken aback: "For me?"
"That's right, if you wear this with you, it will continuously provide you with spiritual energy and nourish your muscles and bones. In fact, there is also a small piece of spiritual stone in the sachet I gave you, but that is not as good as this."
Lu Ye caressed the thing that still had her body temperature on it. It should be because of the runes on it. This time, he could detect the energy contained in it, which was much stronger and more refined than the energy contained in the highest-grade crystal nucleus known today. At this time, the energy is still continuously radiating out.
Bai Xiaohu said: "Don't worry, the aura coming out of it can only be felt by you, and no one else can." She thought for a while, thought of a word, and joked, "This can be considered as a personal order."
Customized? Lu Ye's chest was throbbing. He stabilized his mind and was about to speak. He hugged Bai Xiaohu who was gnawing on the chicken and said, "You have not made any progress in your cultivation. Wearing this may help your cultivation for a long time."
Lu Ye: "..." Can't he be touched for a while longer?
All in all it was another hard and pleasant night of tree-cutting.
On the second day, the swarm of insects was obviously not as aggressive as yesterday, and the number was also a little smaller. Obviously, the passing of one night did not restore much vitality to them.
This is also normal, originally the adult insects were supposed to look for food, lay eggs, and reproduce more offspring, but as soon as they crawled out of the ground, they frantically headed towards the flames, sending themselves to death.
As a result, a group of adults died, and the eggs behind hatched, and then ran to die. After a few rounds of this, there were fewer insects, fewer eggs, and naturally fewer new insects.
It's a pity that this is at most only the situation within Jiangcheng. Otherwise, if the bugs in the whole country don't have the strength to reproduce and breathe, the bugs won't be able to become a climate.
But no matter what, when the typhoon passed through completely and the weather cleared up, the Jiangcheng base was largely free from the threat of mutants.
This day, Bai Xiaohu, who was trapped at home by the typhoon for several days, also came out to let the wind out. She ran to the city wall to look at the ground outside. The **** burned by the bugs in tons.
Not to mention chasing her away, the guarding soldiers asked her kindly if she needed anything.
Bai Xiaohu lay on the top of the wall, looking at the busy people below, he couldn't help but ask, "What should we do with the **** from those bugs?"
Shi Jian didn't know when he was with her.
"This **** is very nutritious, and it's good for making feed or fertilizer." A clear and pleasant voice sounded.
Bai Xiaohu was stunned: "Feed? Fertilizer?"
Just think about the dregs burned by such ugly bugs, which are eaten by chickens and ducks, and then the chickens and ducks are eaten by people, or buried in the fields, nourishing the growth of crops, and then these crops are eaten by people...
Rounding up and eating bugs are almost equated.
Bai Xiaohu's expression was a little distorted, and when he turned his head to look, he was a man with a handsome appearance, wearing glasses and a big white trigram, with a very clean demeanor, that of a scholar.
Bai Xiaohu didn't know him, but Shi Jian did, but before Shi Jian opened his mouth, the other party first extended his hand to Bai Xiaohu: "Let me introduce myself, I'm Qu Huanian from the research center."
Bai Xiaohu shook hands with him: "Hello, is what you said true?"
Qu Huanian smiled and said, "These bugs are all protein in essence. Apart from their appearance, they are really nutritious."
Bai Xiaohu: "..." Bai Xiaohu silently moved away from him,
Qu Huanian laughed and said, "Just kidding, the genes of these bugs have mutated. In order to prevent this gene from affecting humans, it's best to deal with it intensively, and it's best not to let them seep into the soil and water sources."
Bai Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it."
Qu Huanian blinked: "You also believe that."
Bai Xiaohu: "?"
"These bugs originally came from the ground, and a considerable part of them must have died in the ground. After their bodies rot, they will still become nutrients for plants. Seeping into the groundwater is equivalent to entering the water source, so everything you import in the future may be destroyed. They've been polluted."
Bai Xiaohu: "..."
"But when you meet this era, you have to accept everything in this era, don't you?"
Bai Xiaohu's mind is full of thoughts that the water he will drink in the future may be soaked in bugs... It's okay, we still have spiritual spring water.
Qu Huanian suddenly became serious: "Thanks to the things you provided, Miss Bai, otherwise the base would have suffered heavy casualties."
Bai Xiaohu looked at him in surprise.
Chu Huanian smiled and said, "I've always been curious about Miss Bai. The flowers, plants and trees that come from your hands, from the Leigong tree at the beginning to the three plants that played an important role this time, are all very special."
Bai Xiaohu's heart twitched slightly, and then raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why is it so special?" She was very calm, not afraid at all, Lu Ye was in the same camp as her, even if she was called to break the identity of a non-human, she still had friends to carry it with her. .
Chu Huanian said: "They all contain very special energy, do you know that? Since the end of the world, the world is rapidly going backwards, and all living things are degenerating and decaying. Zombies are like this. This time the bugs mutate, too. Their genetic chains were forcibly dismantled and distorted, and they seemed to bring a signal of decay, collapse, and destruction.
"But these plants you brought, they are very good. Although I can't analyze their genes, they are powerful, spiritual, and full of vitality. They have a natural restraint ability against zombies and bugs. The freshest air in the world, as if the fate of decay has ushered in a turning point."
Chu Huanian's eyes were a little eager, and his hand stretched out from his pocket. His hand was slender and clean. It was a hand that held a pen all the year round and dealt with various experimental equipment. Now he waved it forward, It seems to be drawing a grand blueprint, and it is also like a poet imagining: "I have a hunch that when there are more and more of them in this world, the world will change."
Bai Xiaohu was stunned when he heard that, ah, so my flowers, plants and trees are so powerful?
Also change the world?
I do not know how?
She felt that this person was a bit supernatural, and said a little embarrassedly: "Um, this world is pretty good, not everything is degenerating, like a supernatural person, isn't it a typical representative of evolution?"
"Supernatural beings?" Chu Huanian shook his head, his eyes regretful: "The world only sees the power of supernatural beings, and thinks that supernatural beings are the direction of human evolution, but they are so powerful and terrifying as behind the transformation of the human body. Maybe there is no defect? Rather than saying that supernatural beings are the result of evolution, it is better to say that they are a product of incomplete stress."
Bai Xiaohu blinked, but didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Qu Huanian also blinked, moved a little closer, and said mysteriously: "Others think you are a supernatural being, but I know you are not, so I advise you to break up with Lu Ye as soon as possible and be with the supernatural being together." Nothing good came of it."
Bai Xiaohu opened his eyes wide: "Break up, break up?"
Qu Huanian smiled and said, "Aren't you a couple?"
Eh? Are they a couple?
Shi Jian frowned, and immediately stepped forward: "Don't spread rumors, our Captain Bai and Captain Lu of Zhongyang's team are just ordinary friends, and everyone in our two teams can testify!"
Qu Huanian raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it? But everyone is spreading..."
"What are you guys? Where are you guys?" Shi Jian said coldly, "Do outsiders know better than our insiders? The outsiders are all rumors. Do you know that Team Lu has refuted the rumors himself? If you think you want to provoke a few words, You can make them disagree so that you can profit from it, and you can give up."
She was too aggressive, but Qu Huanian didn't take it seriously, he just set his eyes on Bai Xiaohu's face: "Is that so?"
The word "couple" was still spinning in Bai Xiaohu's mind. After thinking about it, no, the point is not this! She frowned and asked, "Why do you say that supernatural beings are disabled? What do you know?"
Qu Huanian said: "Tell me first, you and Lu Ye are not in a relationship?"
Bai Xiaohu thinks this person is annoying, what does it matter to him? But she still wanted his answer, so she said, "Of course not."
She looked past Qu Huanian and saw a person behind him, her eyes lit up: "Lu Ye, you came just in time." She said to Qu Huanian, "If you don't believe me, ask Lu Ye, he has already refuted the rumors."
Seeing Bai Xiaohu on the city wall, he came over, just in time to hear the conversation between the three of them, Lu Ye: "..."
Lu Ye: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense
