Chapter 5: Discovering the Abnormality

As Yu Mu spoke, he saw Feng Li's expression of pity. An idea struck him, and he immediately hugged Feng Li's arm affectionately and said, "Good Feng Li, can you lend me some money to tide me over this difficult time? I don't want much, just enough to buy a few buckets of water."

"Oh, that's corny."

Feng Li seemed unused to being held by her, and forcibly pulled her arms out of Yu Mu's arms, but the corners of her mouth were already raised, and she lowered her head in thought.

There seems to be a door.

Yu Mu quickly pleaded again: "Feng Li, I can see that you are kind and beautiful. Even if you don't want to help me, please help the baby. She hasn't seen much of the world yet. If she dies..."

"stop!"

At this point, Feng Li hurriedly stopped her from continuing and said, "I'll give you some water and nutrient solution when we get back."

As he said this, he glanced at Yu Mu's pale and thin appearance.

Living next to Yu Mu, she knew very well that she was in trouble. She had to watch Yu Mu go from being a beautiful girl to being so miserable due to starvation. As a fellow woman, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

But in the past, Yu Mu was always cold and indifferent, and didn't want to make friends with her. Even if she wanted to help others, she couldn't ask for help. If she was not careful, others would think she was giving alms. She didn't know why her personality changed today.

But she didn't know.

Now Yu Mu's soul has become a different person, and seeing that Feng Li has a cold face but a kind heart, he naturally begs without hesitation.

"Thank you so much."

Yu Mu knew he couldn't just accept someone's kindness for nothing, so he immediately smiled and said, "You saved my life, and I must repay you. Whatever you ask for, as long as it doesn't violate morality and doesn't hurt me, I can do it. I can also wash clothes and cook... um."

Here she got stuck.

She was talking nonsense. She couldn't wash clothes or cook, so she couldn't help others with anything! Yu Mu stuck out her tongue at Feng Li embarrassedly and said, "Haha, Feng Li, in short, if you need me to do anything, I will be there at your beck and call. When I have money, I will pay you back."

"Haha, no need to rush."

Originally, the Fengli Gang felt a little bit painful, but now seeing that she was sensible and knew that she couldn't accept favors for nothing, they immediately looked up to her and felt much more relieved.

The two went home together.

Feng Li took out ten silver coins and handed them to Yu Mu, saying, "I don't have much money either, so you can use these first."

One silver coin could buy a bucket of water or a bottle of nutrient solution. These ten silver coins would allow Yu Mu to have enough food and drink for the next few days. She hurriedly took the silver coins, expressed her gratitude, and used the money to buy two buckets of water.

One of the buckets of water was poured onto the ground in space.

Because water is scarce.

She just poured water into a small piece of soil. When the soil became soft, she buried the walnut in it, leaving a little bit of the walnut tip exposed. That should be enough.

But she had never grown this kind of plant before and didn't know if the method was correct, so she went to ask Fengli.

"Growing walnuts?"

Feng Li gave her a strange look and said, "Energy in the soil is scarce nowadays, so plants generally can't grow there. Only the occasional pure energy soil in the wild can grow plants. And after those soils have grown plants, they have no energy left. That's why we have to keep looking for wild plants!"

Yes

At this time, there is a problem with the soil in this world. It is either poisonous or lacks energy and cannot grow plants. In contrast, some soils have pure energy and can give birth to higher plants. The food produced by these plants can change the human body and give people various special abilities.

Feng Li didn't know that Yu Mu had space.

Yu Mu didn't know what to explain to her, so he had to give up asking.

"So don't even think about growing walnuts. That's wishful thinking."

Fengli teased her with a smile.

Yu Mu went back dejectedly. He did not ask about the method of planting walnuts. He could only figure it out on his own. He was a little nervous because he didn't know if he could grow them. He went to the space to check the situation from time to time. He was afraid that one seed would not survive, so he took four or five walnuts and buried them all in the soft soil. He didn't rest until he went to bed at night.

This went on until the next day.

Yu Mu finished feeding Qingqing. Li Qingqing was the baby's name. As long as she had food and drink, Qingqing was a very well-behaved baby. She would almost eat and then sleep, and it was easy to take care of her. Seeing that she fell asleep, Yu Mu came to the space again to check the situation, and then he found changes.

I saw a hint on the land where walnuts were planted, with a few light blue words floating on it: Living soil is needed.

Can the land have any textual hints?

Yu Mu was very curious, and since the walnuts had finally made some progress, he leaned over to take a closer look. He saw six walnuts sticking out of their shells, revealing tender green buds the size of a fingernail inside.

As long as she adds the living soil, the planting will be successful!

Living soil: soil that can grow plants.

There is a lot of this kind of soil out there, but most of it contains toxins and pathogens, and the plants grown there also contain toxins and pathogens and cannot be eaten.

I don’t know if the poisonous soil can be used in space?

After all, it is almost a fantasy for her to get the living soil with pure soil now!

Yu Mu did what he thought. He remembered that he had seen moss on the wall of the corridor. There should be soil under the moss, so he went out to look for it.

The aisles are too cluttered.

It was piled with things, and the damp ground bred many small animals.

For example, cockroaches, frogs and the like. Yu Mu was a little disgusted by these things. She didn't understand why there were such animals in an apartment? It made her feel like she was living in a forest!

She quickly picked off a piece of moss from the wall. Just as she was feeling happy, she saw a black hole behind the moss. A small green snake was curled up in the hole, staring at her with its core spitting out.

"Oh my god, help!"

Yu Mu was so frightened that he jumped back a step and ran away without looking back.

When she ran to the door, she looked back at the snake hole and saw the little green snake swimming out of the black hole and sliding into a hole on the wall. It soon disappeared. But... where does that hole lead to?

In the room?

Yu Mu couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

"I advise you not to yell so carelessly, bitch. You're disturbing my rest, okay?"

Just as Yu Mu was frightened, she saw the door of the resident next to her open. The burly man from last time walked out and looked at her unkindly. Yu Mu shrank her head and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry, I just saw a small green snake enter the black hole and was scared. I won't scream casually in the future."

"Little green snake?"

"Black hole?"

The man looked around with a puzzled look on his face. He turned to Yu Mu and asked, "Where is the black hole you mentioned?"

“It’s right there!”

Yu Mu pointed to the wall next to the man, which was the outer wall of his house. The man looked back again, then turned around and stared at Yu Mu sinisterly, saying in a cold voice, "There's no black hole here! Do you want to die? How dare you play tricks on me!"

"I don't have one. There really is a black hole there. Can't you see it?"

Yu Mu asked him in shock.
