Not for sale?!

After listening to the report of the salesman under him, Cindisson, who was drinking tea and flipping through the newspaper, was stunned on the spot and stopped turning the newspaper.

The salesman standing at the table nodded his head and said helplessly.

"Yes sir, we went to the Boulder militia regiment's station on the front line and asked the regimental commander to buy the wreckage of the fruiting entity, but they didn't even listen to what we offered, and kept us out of the door-"

"Why?!" Cindison interrupted him in a frenzy, grabbed the armrests of her chair with both hands, and said indignantly, "Don't they know that leaving the remains of those fruiting bodies alone will lead to a terrible plague?" ”

"This ...... I don't know," the clerk whispered, looking nervously at the boss, "and the reason they gave was that the Coalition authorities had taken over the subentities. ”

Cindison looked confused.

The coalition authorities took over?

What's the use of them asking for that?!

In the drunken Bugerra Free State, the Cindison Comptoir is a small company whose sole business is to supply processing plants in the Free State with raw materials for the production of synthetic food and organic fertilizers.

In previous years, when the tide broke out, he would send people to Qingquan City to buy a batch of goods, and when he brought it back, it would be a profit of hundreds of millions of cloth yuan.

The remains of those fruiting bodies were as if they had been picked up for nothing.

In any case, the poor people of the Free State of Bugra don't care where what they eat comes from, and the food processing factories don't care about where the nutrients come from.

It just so happens that Boulder City also has the need to deal with the wreckage of those fruiting entities, and his sale is undoubtedly a win-win for all parties!

Hearing that the wave after the warm winter will be stronger than in previous years, this year Cindison not only borrowed money from the bank to rent more than 30 heavy trucks and 100 guards, but also personally led the team south to Dawn City, ready to do a big job.

However, just when he was full of ambition and dreaming of making a fortune, the news brought back by the salesman he sent to the front line made him stunned in place.

He even found a buyer.

The Alliance told him that the wreckage of those fruiting entities was not for sale!?

Are you kidding!

Although her angry fingers trembled, Cindison quickly calmed down.

As the saying goes, the arm can't twist the thigh.

In the face of the behemoth of the alliance, a mere trading house is just an inconspicuous grasshopper.

Although she didn't want to watch the business bank she had worked so hard for many years go bankrupt because of liquidated damages and the money she couldn't pay back in the bank, Cindison knew very well that it would definitely not work head-on.

Only from somewhere else can I think of a way!

Staring at her salesman, Cindison asked word by word.

"What about the fruiting entities? What does the alliance plan to do? ”

The salesman swallowed and whispered.

"I heard that they were all sent to the eastern district of Qingquan City by the coalition authorities...... I don't know exactly what it does. ”

Sent to the eastern district of Qingquan City?

Cindison frowned.

Does he remember that the East End wasn't a forested urban area?

What are you sending there for?

Puzzled, Cindison pondered for a moment, then looked at his subordinates and said.

"Early tomorrow morning, you take me to the eastern suburbs of Qingquan City to have a look."

The salesman nodded hurriedly.

"Good boss!"

……

Early the next morning, Cindison got up early, and left the hotel with her salesman and a few guards when it was still dark.

Out of Dawn City from the east, the group walked for more than ten miles, and finally arrived at the edge of the eastern district of Qingquan City.

However, when he saw the scene in front of him, the whole person was shocked, and he was stunned for a long time before he could hold back a sentence from his mouth.

“…… What is this? ”

One by one, the nibbles pushed carts full of fruiting corpse remains, from the mountains of corpses to the half-collapsed buildings on the side.

In the dark window, a faint scarlet plaque was slowly agitating - and it was the shape of the hatching room!

The guards standing next to Cindison involuntarily clenched their guns, their index fingers unflicked the safe, and their nerves tensed and carefully guarded the direction of the hatchery.

Eaters really don't deserve their fear.

But if you add a creeper, or even a tyrant, that's a big deal...... In this complex terrain, even experienced mercenaries dare not say that they have a 100% chance of winning.

In fact, there are crawlers and tyrants here.

Not far from the hatchery, next to an abandoned concrete building, a four-legged creeper was carrying a stack of bricks or a bundle of steel bars up and down the slime-covered walls.

They deliver bricks to the broken wall, where they are answered by a head with a drooping head, who stacks bricks on top of the broken wall.

"They...... Building a wall? The salesman looked in that direction in surprise, and the guards on the side had a ghostly expression on their faces.

"The god of the bighorn deer is on ......"

"When are those mushrooms going to build a house?!"

Cindison didn't speak, swallowed, took a telescope from her bosom, and looked at the waist of the concrete building, trying to look more closely.

Then he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

I saw that the bricks were not stacked on the cement, but on a layer of pale red fungus blanket.

The blanket was as if it were alive, wriggling with tiny cilia. The moment it made contact with the brick, the countless tiny cilia firmly grasped the brick, and then a pale red bract grew outward through the gap, and the brick was firmly fixed to the broken wall by removing the water.

Cindison was stunned by the scene in front of her.

It's really the sun hitting the west and coming out!

These slime molds are actually repairing human buildings!

What's even more incredible to him is that Cindison unexpectedly discovers that the building repaired by slime mold is not unexpectedly ugly, but has a unique natural beauty.

At least, it's much more beautiful than the ruined old buildings around it!

The pale red fungus carpet is not in the slightest hideous or abrupt, spreading along the broken gap on the wall, like some kind of artistic graffiti, recording the scars of the war two centuries ago in a unique way.

The only suspense now is whether this house restored by slime molds can be inhabited.

Cindison asked himself if he dared not live in it, maybe the poor ghosts of the Bougerra Free State didn't mind the living conditions, but he didn't want to soak in musty spores every day.

The salesman standing next to him was obviously the same, shaking his head as he looked at the slowly repairing scars on the abandoned building.

"I'm not going to live in a place like this...... I always felt like some kind of trap that people would swallow whole once they got in, like a pitcher plant. ”

Several of the other guards looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Me ...... too"

"Unless you pay me."

"But can you really live in this kind of house? They don't even use cement. ”

"Whether it can live or not, now I finally know what the Alliance is doing with these fruiting entities." Putting down the binoculars in her hand, Cindison scolded with an ugly face, but she was helpless.

I don't know what method the Alliance used to make those slime fruiting bodies work obediently, but that's all people's business.

Before, he had thought of ways to buy for zero yuan, such as sneaking over at night, pulling a few truckloads of fruiting bodies and running north.

Anyway, the eastern district of Qingquan City is so big, and the alliance may not be able to find it.

But now, it was definitely not going to work, and the fruiting entities were like independent beings who wouldn't have watched them load the corpses of their kind onto trucks.

Just when Cindison was depressed, the sound of an engine was heard not far away, and two motorcycles drove down the street from the side.

Cindison and his party immediately looked over there, only to see that the motorcycle had the Union flag on it, and the insignia of the First Corps was printed on the front of the motorcycle.

Four soldiers jumped off their motorcycles, stared warily at the strange group, and walked in their direction.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

Cindison said hurriedly.

"I'm a merchant passing through here, what's going on here? Why are there so many slime fruiting bodies—"

"That's none of your business," said the soldier, grimacing and expressionless, "there is a military restricted area ahead, and it is forbidden to enter without authorization, and now I ask you to leave here immediately, or we will take coercive measures against you." ”

At present, the Alliance Ecological Reserve is not open to the public.

While this is no secret, anyone who enters the area, with the exception of the Vault residents, will be forcibly evicted from the area.

After all, the public still has great doubts about slime molds, and if someone encounters danger in this area at this time, even if it is not the fruiting body of Xiao Yu, it is almost impossible to say clearly.

Seeing that there were only four soldiers in this group, a young guard who followed Cindison couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous, and said mockingly.

"Coercive measures? Just a few of you? ”

The soldier was not provoked by his provocation, but just looked at him playfully.

"Want to try?"

The survivors in the province of the river valley are fierce, and this is especially true in Qingquan City, and he has seen a lot of thorns like this kind of thorn with a gun hanging around his neck.

The guard furrowed his eyebrows and was about to say something cruel, but he was grabbed by the boss next to him and glared at him fiercely.

Cindison couldn't wait to slap this guy twice.

He's here to ask for money, not to make trouble for himself!

Looking at the four soldiers who were waiting for the battle with a smile on his face, Cindison softened his attitude and said in a tone of reparation.

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, we are new to the city and we don't know the rules here...... Let's leave right away. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few banknotes and tried to stuff them into the captain, but the captain pushed them away with disdain.

"Put away your money and leave immediately, this is the last warning."

"Yes, yes!"

Cindison nodded hurriedly, pulled the salesman next to her and the unconvinced guard, and hurriedly left this place of right and wrong.

The soldiers of the 1st Regiment followed them until they had completely left the city.

Looking at the two motorcycles parked at the other end of the street, the salesman who followed Cindison couldn't help but ask with an indignant expression on his face.

"Boss, are we going to leave it at that?"

"Forget it?" Cindison narrowed her eyes slightly, laughed and said, "How can it be just like that." ”

The other guard, who had been following him all this time, hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice.

"The owner...... It's so heavily patrolled that we were discovered as soon as we arrived, and it's not easy to sneak it out. ”

"Steal? Hehe," Cindison glanced at her men and pursed her lips disdainfully, "Am I the kind of person who needs to steal?" ”

Just now, he suddenly thought of a good idea, maybe not only could the alliance spit out this hot potato, but maybe he could also get a few live ones to take back for study.

A group of fruiting bodies that are able to function on the production line......

Thinking of this, Cindison felt a pang of heat in her heart, and she couldn't wait to start implementing her genius plan immediately.

Seeing the boss's confident expression, the salesman immediately understood, approached the boss and asked in a low voice.

"The owner...... What do you command? ”

Cindison smiled and whispered a few words in his ear.

"It's not just us who come here from the Free State of Bugra, but other traders...... You find their boss and send them an invitation to say that the owner of the Cindison firm wants to invite them to a drink and discuss something important together. ”

After a pause, he looked at the guard standing nearby, beckoned the man to come closer, and continued to whisper in his ear.

"You take a detour in a moment and go to the place where we just took a few pictures...... I'm of great use. ”

……

While the merchants from Bugerra were sneakily planning, Chu Guang happened to be inspecting the area around the ecological reserve.

After yesterday's day of practice and summing up experience, his little players have become more and more proficient in summoning Xiao Yu's fruiting body.

Especially some life pro gamers.

In order to earn back the silver coins spent on buying the sub-entity, they can say that they have thought of all the ways they can think of.

There are people who cut trees, there are people who hunt, there are people who help build houses, and there are even people who take some orders from the industrial area to sort garbage.

With their help, this ecological reserve, which has nothing but slime molds and forests, is gradually showing economic value.

The most incredible thing for Chu Guang was that his little player actually applied the fruiting body of slime mold to the construction site with a brain.

It turned out that to build a house, they needed to build scaffolding, with cranes and other engineering equipment, and then start construction.

Nowadays, however, the fungus blanket that covers the walls is a natural scaffolding, and the creepers who can climb up and down the walls are natural brick movers.

Now not only is the labor of moving bricks saved, but they have even improved the materials used in construction.

That is, the slime fruiting body is used instead of cement as a binder between the bricks.

Chu Guang, who heard about this from Xiao Qi, was immediately shocked by the whimsical brains of these players.

Can this slime mold still play like this?

"Replace cement with a fungus blanket...... Is the strength of this material really okay? Looking at the building that was repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye, Chu Guang was stunned for a long time and couldn't help but ask.

A cheerful cry came from the communication channel.

"Hmmm!"

Sitting on Chu Guang's shoulder and shaking his calves, Xiao Qi translated happily in his voice.

"Xiao Yu said that this is a bonding strain made from the DNA recovered from the evolution of the 'Corrupt Knight', and after being covered with a fungus blanket, dehydration can produce a similar effect as cement, which is not only very strong, but also self-healing!"

Can concrete repair itself?

Nope-

This can't be considered concrete, right?

Bio-hybrid building materials?

Chu Guang forgot where he saw it, and heard that the ancients built bridges, and in order to make the bridge stable, they would breed oysters under the piers.

Due to its rapid growth, strong fecundity, and good gelatinity, it is possible to bond stones into a solid whole at the bottom of the river, and this method is also known as the "oyster solid foundation" method.

Inspired by the player's brain, Xiao Yu used this method to restore the high-rise buildings left behind by the Prosperous Era.

The fungus blanket filled between the bricks not only has the same adhesion as cement, but also repairs itself in case of damage!

Although this construction method may sound a little too avant-garde, it seems to be surprisingly effective under the command of the players?

At this moment, Chu Guang suddenly had a more avant-garde brain hole.

"This type of strain...... Can it survive in a vacuum? ”

Xiao Yu: "Huh? ”

Xiaoqi: "Hmm...... Xiao Yu said that it hadn't tried, but the brood it devoured first had experience surviving in a near-vacuum environment, and it should be fine with a little improvement...... Master, where would you like to apply it? ”

"For starships!" Chu Guang said without thinking.

Not only Xiao Yu, but even Xiao Qi was stunned.

Star ...... Starship? ”

Does the Union have such a thing?

"That's right!" Chu Guang had a happy smile on his face, "But it's too early for us to use the starship, let's test it with the Heart of Steel first." ”

Self-healing armor!

If this idea can be realized, it will be awesome!

Thinking of the anti-heaven evolutions produced by the brood in the city center, he felt that his brain hole did not seem to be completely impossible.

The more Chu Guang thought about it, the more excited he became.

Just when he was about to put it into action and try it, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on his shoulder, suddenly spoke.

"Master, the researcher from the academy sent a message saying that he wanted to talk to you face-to-face, do you need me to help you arrange a time for the meeting?"

"A researcher at the Academy?" Stopping the thoughts that were fermenting in his mind, Chu Guang turned his face sideways to look at Xiao Qi and asked, "Which researcher?" ”

Xiao Qi continued.

"It's that B-level researcher named Yang Kai, and he wants to discuss cooperation with you on behalf of the academy......"

Hearing Yang Kai's name, Chu Guang's expression was slightly surprised.

It's not that I'm surprised by that guy's identity, but that guy has always been sitting on a scientific research ship and showing people with holograms, and this time he is willing to talk to himself face-to-face?

Probably able to guess what he wanted to talk to himself, Chu Guang couldn't help but have a playful smile on his face.

"It's scheduled for today...... No, tomorrow at noon, let him wait for me in the conference room of the Union Building. ”

Xiao Qi replied energetically.

"Roger!"
