Chapter 18: Don't get cheap and sell well
The little green sprout obediently rubbed Gu Xi's fingertips, and the next moment it skyrocketed, and he couldn't wait to rush into the black and colorful alien plants.
Ten minutes later, Gu Xi withdrew his ability.
The alien plant, which was still black and colorful under the gloomy moonlight, has now visibly returned to the original color of the plant.
But the little green sprout seemed to be a little dissatisfied, after finishing this piece of foreign plants, it was obviously not full, and it was eager to stare at the foreign plants next to it......
That's a lot of energy!
Once it's done devouring the blockbuster, it'll be ready to level up.
Little Green Shoots: Hungry, hungry, rice, to upgrade.
But Gu Xi was unmoved.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to increase the level of their abilities, and they need not only the accumulation of quantity, but also talents, perceptions, and opportunities, all of which are indispensable.
But Gu Xi is different.
She now belongs to the full-level boss to rebuild the trumpet, but she has walked the road once, and now she walks again, and there is almost no hindrance.
So Gu Xi is not in a hurry. The energy on the left and right is here, and she can't run, sooner or later it's all hers.
But Little Green Sprout was in a hurry.
It began to circle around her fingertips, and kept rubbing Gu Xi's fingertips with the two small young leaves on the top of herself......
Gu Xi was silently ground by it, and raised his hand to poke the young shoots of the little green shoots: Be good, you will eat later.
Little Green Shoots Grievances: ...... All right.
The night passed quickly.
After dawn, Wei Heng walked out of the container house, washed his face with cold water, steamed the sweet potatoes in the pot, and boiled another pot of hot water.
He was just about to turn around and ask Gu Xi to get up, when he saw Gu Xi slowly walking out of the mountain forest behind.
Wei Heng was stunned: "Gu Xi, you got up so early?" "Where did you go this early in the morning?
Gu Xi: "I went to the mountains to practice for a while. ”
"Morning exercises?" Wei Heng's gaze fell on her clothes, frowning slightly.
This is the new clothes he changed for her only yesterday, but now they are wet and wrinkled, and there is a lot of dirt and grass clippings, and even the back is connected to the shoulder, as if there is a cut?
What kind of morning exercise will cause such an effect?
Gu Xi also followed his line of sight, looked at the new clothes he was wearing, and then ...... There was silence.
She used to live a life of fighting and killing, and she was used to it, and when she fought, she only focused on the result......
Gu Xi sighed, and saw that Wei Heng was still staring at her clothes, so he tidied up his clothes a little uncomfortably: "The morning dew is heavy, and I accidentally slipped and fell during morning exercise......"
"Ah, are you okay then?" Wei Heng instantly became nervous, and carefully looked her up and down.
"It's fine." Gu Xi shook his head and said honestly: "I'm a stranger, I'm really not that delicate. ”
Seeing that Wei Heng wanted to speak and stopped, Gu Xi had no choice but to divert the topic and ask him instead, "Is there hot water?" ”
Wei Heng saw that she didn't look like she was injured except that her face was a little pale, so he turned around and poured her a basin of hot water, and didn't let her do anything, so he sent her directly to the house.
"You wash first, then change your clothes, and the sweet potatoes will be steamed soon." Before going out, I also brought the door for her very intimately.
Gu Xi: Her roommate is really good.
After breakfast, Wei Heng took out a bottle of black potion from the house.
This was recommended to him by the staff there when he went to the camp to change the nutrient solution of the land yesterday, saying that it was a newly developed herbicide from the research institute, which can effectively inhibit the reproduction of some wild heterogeneous plants......
Wei Heng saw that the price was not expensive, so he bought a bottle.
He thought, "Isn't their land going to be sprinkled with nutrient solution?" If, as soon as the nutrient solution is sprinkled, those weeds rush out to seize the fertility in the soil, is that not a waste of his nutrient solution?
This nutrient solution is not cheap.
After studying the use of this herbicide for a while, Wei Heng carried a large wooden barrel and went out. Outside, the land that had been reclaimed only yesterday was now sparsely popped with weeds.
There is no delay in this.
Seeing this, Gu Xi was about to help, but was rejected by Wei Heng with righteous words - how can a girl do this kind of hard work?
Gu Xi: "......"
Although it was not the first time that Wei Heng had been taken care of as a delicate girl, how could I say it?
Just, this experience...... It's quite a novelty.
Gu Xi looked left and right, she didn't need to farm at this time, and Wei Heng had also taken care of the housework, so she really had nothing to do, so Gu Xi decided to go back to the house and lie down for a while.
She has to think carefully about the way forward, how to go.
I thought that with all this mountain of alien plants, it should be a breeze to restore the ability.
But last night, reality poured a bucket of cold water on her.
- She wants to forcibly restore the ability level by plundering, but she can; But her body couldn't support it.
I don't know what has happened in the past thirty years, her current body, supporting level 8 ability is the limit, and last night she almost planted a heel on that vicious alien plant.
This also made Gu Xi have to force his ability back to the level of the beginning of level 4 after that fight.
Gu Xi sighed.
It seems that the matter of recovering the ability is urgent, and it still has to be done step by step.
First of all, you have to have a strong physique......
In fact, there is no problem with her body now, but compared with the past, she is inexplicably much more delicate. It's like a thirty-year-old special forces king, and a five or six-year-old girl, their bodies are fine, but the difference is a bit big.
But Gu Xi has never been an impatient person, and after thinking it through, she lay on the bed for a while to recuperate before pushing the door and walking out.
On the edge of the stream, the two sisters of the Qin family were fiddling with the pumping machine, and when they saw Gu Xi, they waved at her from afar.
Gu Xi thought about it, and then paced slowly.
"Gu Xi, you're here." Qin Yi, the little sweet sister, wiped her hands and said, "In a while, my sister will get a big pool here to store water, and it will be convenient for us to use water in the future." ”
Qin Shi is an earth-based ability, so it's convenient to get this.
Seeing Gu Xi coming over, Qin Shi nodded lightly at her while fiddling with the water pump: "Wei Heng also changed a lot of water pipes yesterday, you can find it in a while, and I'll help you get it." ”
Qin Shi's hands-on ability is so strong, Gu Xi had seen it yesterday.
It's good to have someone to help, but she doesn't want to take advantage of others for nothing.
Gu Xi thought for a while and said, "Thank you." At noon, I invite you to eat sweet potatoes? ”
The sisters of the Qin family glanced at each other: Today's lunch, it's all right!
……
At the same time, according to this, more than 300 miles away from the periphery of the Daheng Mountain Range.
It is at the forefront of the human reconquest and one of the forward stations of the military combat team.
In the makeshift medical center, Shen Yue was half-lying on his illness, one leg slightly bent and the other leg straight, obviously in a very leisurely and lazy posture, but there was a faint sense of vigorous strength ready to go.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and Shen Yue raised his eyes to look, his gaze was indifferent and careless, but it inexplicably gave people a strong sense of oppression.
The little soldier on duty gave a military salute, silently stepped aside, and let the person behind him come.
After seeing who it was, Shen Yue was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his lips slowly hooked up a lazy arc.
"Old man, why are you here?" He asked with a smile as he lay back on his bed.
Although he called him an old man, he looked like he was in his early forties.
He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Shen Yue's lazy appearance, frowned and glared at him, before he strode to the side of the hospital bed and sat down, and said with a condensed expression: "The No. 11 satellite detected abnormal energy fluctuations in the No. NC9257018 area at around 5 o'clock in the morning, and suspected that there was a malignant transformation of the alien plant. ”
The laziness on Shen Yue's face disappeared instantly, and his fingertips moved slightly.
He slowly sat up straight and asked, "Did you get a picture?" ”
The visitor shook his head slowly, his face was a little unsightly: "The satellite did not capture the image in time......"
It's something that can't be helped.
The end of the world came too suddenly, causing the entire human society to be chaotic for a long time, and most of the satellites were out of 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 getting the news, the nearby camp sent a drone to check this morning, but no malignant alien plants were found, and only a large area of naturally withered wild alien plants was photographed nearby......"
"Shen Yue, you should know what this means!" The person who came frowned slightly, and looked at Shen Yue with a solemn face.
Shen Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at his old man: "Do you want me to go?" No, I'm still hurt...... If you really encounter a powerful evil mutant plant, you are not afraid to give your son's life there? ”
Shen Zhennan glared at his son angrily: "Shen Yue! Don't give Lao Tzu a cheap price and sell it well......"
As he spoke, he clicked on his personal terminal: "Why do you think Lao Tzu wants you to go?" Qin Shi: The target of their mission this time is in the No. NC9257018 area......"
"You went there this time, ostensibly to investigate the disappearance of the evil mutant plant, but in fact, ......"
He turned his light screen in front of his son, and said with a tiger face: "Look carefully." If it weren't for the fact that you were injured, it would have been your turn to do good things this time? ”
Shen Yue didn't look at the light screen, but used a kind of "With a father like you, will there be good things on my head?" Looking at the old man of his family, his thin lips hooked little by little: "Really? ”
He didn't believe it.
In the past, there was such a good thing, and the old man would only hand it over to Lao Ye's special service team.
Shen Zhennan frowned slightly, with a cold expression: "Shen Yue! ”
If it weren't for the importance of this mission, he had to find someone who was absolutely trustworthy and face-to-face, he really wanted to close the light screen and leave immediately.
Shen Yue shrugged: "Okay, then I'll take a look?" "You can't really make the old man angry, can you?
You can't go to court-martial.
There is very little information about the mission, only a few lines.
After Shen Yue finished reading it, his gaze fell on the last line of the information with a bit of scrutiny, frowning slightly.
After half a ring, he looked up and asked his old man: "When I was in the ruins of NX1984, it was Wei Heng from the former special combat team who found the mission target?" ”
He and Wei Heng didn't know each other, but everyone was in the same system, and he had faintly heard about Wei Heng.
After all, the incident half a year ago was quite a big one.
Shen Zhennan nodded solemnly: "Not bad." But I checked, and there was no problem with the screening of the ruins of NX1984, which was directly responsible for the third team, and no other forces intervened during the period. ”
After a pause, the old general frowned slightly, as if he was talking to himself: "That little girl, it seems to have appeared out of thin air......
Shen Yue raised his eyebrows: That's it? Still called no problem?
However, thinking of the information he had just read, Shen Yue's heart moved.
He licked his somewhat dry and gray lips, and replied, "I took this task." But how to solve the identity problem? ”
In recent years, with the restoration of human order, the major bases have also successively received many displaced people who have returned from the ruins.
These homeless people who have lived alone for a long time in the ruins almost all have one thing in common - they are cautious and wary by nature, and it is difficult to trust everyone but themselves.
The target of this mission this time looks young, but a little girl who grew up alone in the ruins, who knows what she has experienced?
I'm afraid that the vigilance is not ordinarily strong.
The appearance of the two sisters of Qin Shi can barely be explained, but if there is another person with extraordinary abilities to hang around the little girl...... I'm afraid it's hard not to be suspicious.
"Don't worry about this." Shen Zhennan got up and said: "The issue of identity, the boss has already arranged, a helicopter will come to pick you up in the afternoon, you are ready to prepare, and you will leave in the evening." ”
"Remember, this mission, top secret!"
