Now that he was there, Shen Qing agreed under Tang's mother's moist gaze.

The healing psychic was in a very good mood. He wished he could do this kind of easy and well-paid work more often every day! He placed his hand on Tang Wenjie's forehead, and the white light from his fingertips condensed into a ball and moved around Tang Wenjie's body.

Soon, the face of the healing power user changed: this extra income was not as easy as he thought. Tang Wenjie's body was like a whirlpool, sucking his power bit by bit, and the energy was forced to flow out of his body. The white light symbolizing the healing power became bigger and bigger.

The healing psychic was sweating on his forehead. This meant that the power that the person in front of him was about to awaken was extremely powerful, which was why there was such a large energy gap. Even though this person had just awakened, his body already had independent consciousness and instinct to absorb his own power.

If nothing unexpected happens, another strong man will be born in Hongcheng Base.

After a long time, Tang Wenjie's condition finally stabilized. When he touched his forehead, it was no longer hot. The healing psychic finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it was any later, he would have worried that his psychic power would be drained by Tang Wenjie. "It's healed now. We'll know what psychic power he has awakened when he wakes up." He added half-truthfully, "I've lost a lot of money on these ten crystal cores."

Mother Tang was very nervous: "When will he wake up?"

"It's hard to say, but it's not a bad thing for him to fall asleep." When helping Tang Wenjie break through just now, the healing ability user had already noticed that Tang Wenjie's body was seriously depleted and extremely tired. It seems that he has not eaten much recently, and his mind has been tense for a long time, and he has not gotten enough sleep. After the breakthrough, he has absorbed a lot of healing abilities, and sleep can help the body adjust better and recuperate.

Song Kaiji counted out ten crystal cores, stuffed two hawthorns in it and handed it over: "Thank you for your hard work."

Although he didn't get more crystal cores, it was good to get two more hawthorns. Fresh fruits are rare now. Together with the fifty crystal cores he got from the previous visit, the healing psychic was quite satisfied with the income this time. He also sold it to Song Kaiji and the others and went to tell the guards at the city gate about Tang Wenjie's situation. With the healing psychic registered in the hospital as a guarantor, the guards only did a simple examination of Tang Wenjie, and after Shen Qing and Song Kaiji paid the entrance fee for him and Tang's mother, they let him in.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Mother Tang was very touched. Although Tang Wenjie had awakened his superpowers, she was not the kind of person who didn't know how to be grateful or change her face at any time. Song Kaiji and the others had already helped Tang Wenjie before they knew he was going to awaken. If Song Kaiji hadn't invited a healing superpower, it's unknown how long Tang Wenjie would have to endure, and whether anything would go wrong: "When Wenjie wakes up, I will definitely tell him that we mother and son will repay you well!"

"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite to me," Song Kaiji said, "Wen Jie and I have been roommates for three years. We are like brothers. Isn't it my duty to help him?" He then looked at Shen Qing and said to Tang's mother, "This is Boss Shen from our team. I just want to help Wen Jie, but my ability is limited. Those crystal cores were provided by our boss."

Mother Tang keenly caught the meaning of Song Kaiji's words, and quickly said to Shen Qing: "Thank you, boss. If you don't mind, Wen Jie and I are willing to follow you in the future! Although I can't fight zombies, I can cook, wash clothes, and clean!"

She really wanted to join a zombie hunting team! She and Tang Wenjie had been wandering all the way before, and had seen many fixed teams. They didn't even need to be big, just four or five people could improve efficiency a lot. Some people were responsible for attracting zombies, some were responsible for killing zombies, some were responsible for keeping watch and filling in at any time, and some were responsible for digging crystal cores... Such a clear division of labor and seamless cooperation really made her envious.

She and Tang Wenjie were the only two of them, and unless they encountered a solitary zombie, they could not collect any crystal cores. Most of the time, they were chased by zombies, and they were killed while running. The most important thing was to escape. Who knew who would get all those crystal cores in the future!

If they could join a team, they would never again be in a situation where they had done a lot but gained nothing. Now that Tang Wenjie had awakened his special ability, although they didn't know what it was, this wealthy boss should be able to agree to their joining for Song Kaiji's sake, right?

Shen Qing felt a little uncomfortable when Song Kaiji and Tang's mother called him "boss". Of course, he wanted to recruit Tang Wenjie. Although he helped Tang Wenjie today just for Song Kaiji's sake, he didn't expect Tang Wenjie to awaken his superpowers. This was a pleasant surprise. Tang's mother didn't seem to be a scheming person. In this case, he paid for Tang Wenjie's treatment and paid for their entry fee. Isn't this similar to saving Qu Weiwei?

However, although Tang's mother expressed her desire to join the team, Tang Wenjie was still in a coma and she didn't know whether he was willing or not: "Wait until Tang Wenjie wakes up and see what he thinks. If he agrees to join my team, I will naturally welcome you."

Tang Wenjie felt pain all over his body. It was like the muscle pain that is common when having a fever, and it was as if all the bones, muscles, meridians and blood vessels in his body were disassembled and reassembled. He almost wanted to scream out in pain. Fortunately, a force suddenly injected into his body, like a pair of gentle hands, smoothing out his disassembled bones one by one and putting them back in place.

He tried desperately to retain that power, hoping to alleviate his pain a little more. Sure enough, he and the invisible hand kept pulling, and soon the pain ended. Tang Wenjie felt that deep in his body, new energy continued to surge out, filling his limbs.

Tang Wenjie opened his eyes. What he saw was not the sky outside the base, nor the shabby tent of his home, but a whitewashed roof. He sat up slowly and found himself in an unfamiliar bedroom. He was lying on a very comfortable bed, covered with a thick duvet.

He has never slept so comfortably since he left home.

The memory before he fainted came back. He met the third brother, who came out of the base, dressed neatly and in high spirits, not looking like he had suffered a lot. He wanted to ask the third brother to bring his mother into the base and protect her, so that he could go out to kill zombies and earn crystal cores!

mom!

Tang Wenjie suddenly woke up, jumped out of the bed, hurriedly pushed open the bedroom door and rushed out, but he didn't expect to see his mother sitting in the living room, picking vegetables with a familiar woman, chatting and laughing, while the third brother was sitting on the sofa on the other side, talking to the young man who came out of the base with him that day.

Seeing Tang Wenjie push the door open, everyone was stunned. It was Tang's mother who reacted first and rushed over to him: "Wenjie, you're finally awake. You've been sleeping for two days!"

Two days is enough time for a lot to happen.

Shen Qing left and came back, sent the creams back home, and exchanged a few bags of vegetable seeds with the villagers. Song Kaiji really dug the soil this time. Mother Tang had a lot of experience in growing vegetables on the balcony, and taught them to nail the baskets with wooden strips. Yesterday, Qu Weiwei had successfully grown two baskets of vegetables.

But the dishes that were born... Qu Weiwei checked them one by one in confusion: "Is it because my ability level is too low? Or is it because the soil is not good? Why do these dishes look wrong?"

Whether she bought them in supermarkets before the apocalypse or worked on farms after the apocalypse, the vegetables all had large leaves and plenty of water, and the fruits were large and plump. How come these ones she had grown herself looked malnourished?

Mother Tang broke off a small section, put it into her mouth and chewed it twice, then spit it out: "No problem, it's a different variety." She is older and grew up in the countryside, so she is very knowledgeable about this: "The vegetables we grew at home when we were young were like this. You young people today don't see much. What are those sold in supermarkets? Genetically modified or something? They must be big. The vegetables we grew when we were young were not that big."

"But this kind of vegetable also has an advantage. Don't underestimate the genetically modified ones. Some of them are very watery and have no taste. This kind is full of flavor. Another thing is that you can save the seeds yourself and don't have to buy seeds from the seed station. Don't tell me, no one grows this kind of vegetable now because the yield is too low. It's hard to find it even if you want to." Mother Tang said. These are things that young people today have never seen!

Let's talk about sweet potatoes: when she was a child, she had never seen a sweet potato with a red heart. The sweet potatoes grown in her own fields were all white and fragrant. They smelled good when roasted, but they were so dry that they would make people choke and hiccup after eating a few bites. She was almost 20 years old when she saw a sweet potato with a red heart for the first time. It was shipped from other places because they didn't have it locally. Mother Tang still remembers that the students at the school gate squeezed several times that day just to see the novelty, and everyone rushed to buy it!

But the red sweet potatoes at that time were not as sweet as the smoked sweet potatoes and honey sweet potatoes of today! I don’t know how the sweet potatoes of today are cultivated, but they can really ooze honey when roasted! And the chestnut sweet potatoes and watermelon sweet potatoes, I don’t know if they are really hybridized with chestnuts, but they really taste like chestnuts when eaten!

Tell me, if you were asked to find a sweet potato with a white core that was so choking she ate when she was a child in a supermarket or a small stall selling roasted sweet potatoes, who could find it? And the seeds that Shen Qing brought were almost the same!

Qu Weiwei's eyes widened.

She grew up in the city, and it was only after she joined the farm that she realized that many of the current crops and plants cannot be kept for seed! They may not all be genetically modified, but many hybrid varieties are like mules. Although they have high yields, they also lose the ability to reproduce. If you insist on keeping seeds for yourself, it is very likely that the yield will be reduced or even zero, which is a waste of effort.

Of course, at this time, we still have to plant even if the yield is reduced. I am afraid that after a few crops, there will be no harvest at all.

So even though Hongcheng Base had land and many wood-type psychics who could quickly ripen fruits, it still lacked food. The reason was that they couldn't find enough seeds, and the varieties were relatively simple - Hongcheng was an agricultural city, and at most some fruits were grown in the surrounding suburbs.

Qu Weiwei was working at the institute's farm at the time, and she had heard that in addition to researching zombie virus vaccines, the institute was also studying how to use existing hybrid seeds to develop seeds that could be saved, and constantly issuing tasks to the psychic teams to seek multi-variety, non-hybrid seeds for improvement. Even if the newly developed variety has a low yield, as long as it is stable enough, there are so many wood-type psychics in the base anyway, wouldn't it be possible to catch up with the yield by ripening a few more crops?

Qu Weiwei stared at the basket in front of her in a daze: Aren't these the seeds that the research institute longed for, with low yields but infinite recycling? How could they be easily in her hands?

Today, she had just harvested a basket of celery and was discussing with Mother Tang about making some celery fried with bacon.

Tang Wenjie looked at the juicy celery on the table and sniffed the aroma of steamed rice in the air. He almost suspected that he had not woken up yet and that all this was just a dream.

"Oh, son, you've awakened your superpower! This is all thanks to Boss Shen. For Xiao Song's sake, he hired a healing superpower for you and brought us to the base. We have to thank Boss Shen very much!" Mother Tang held her son's hand and said hopefully, "Try it now. What superpower have you awakened?"

Tang Wenjie was stunned, "I have awakened my superpowers?"

"That's right. You had a fever at that time because you wanted to awaken your superpowers, but you didn't have enough energy in your body." Song Kaiji said. He was a person with superpowers, and at this time he was teaching Tang Wenjie how to mobilize: "Try it, concentrate your mind, focus your attention on your two hands, and then mobilize the energy in your body, and think about releasing it in your mind."

There are different types of superpowers, but the methods of using them are actually similar. For example, with Qu Weiwei's wood power, vines will grow on her hands when she thinks about releasing it. With the healing power, healing light balls will light up, with the water power, clear water will flow from her fingertips, and with the fire power, flames will leap out... As for other superpowers, such as Qu Weiwei's ability to give birth to other plants, this more advanced method of using superpowers requires the superpower user to slowly understand it.

Tang Wenjie suppressed the excitement in his heart, closed his eyes, felt the energy in his body, and followed the method taught by Song Kaiji. With a wave of his hand, two chopstick-sized metal spikes emerged from his fingertips and pierced fiercely into the opposite wall!
