Chapter 58 Chapter 058【VIP】

"Okay. Let's take a rest first and see what happens tomorrow." Mingzhu thought about it and decided to set up the tent on a newly grown fruit tree.

The fruit trees were still growing, but any slight changes were acceptable, as this represented safety. Mingzhu felt it was safer than sleeping directly on the ground, so he fell into a deep sleep in the tent, which had been relocated to a different location for the 'camping' area.

Soon, daybreak came. When the first rays of sunlight scattered, Mingzhu woke up.

"Mmm, the air is so fresh."

Mingzhu stretched lazily, looking particularly lazy.

"The sun is rising, and the future will get better and better." Mingzhu turned his head to look at 184 and found that 184's stretching movements were exactly the same as his own.

Is this the legendary system that follows its owner?

Mingzhu withdrew his gaze, began to pack up the tent, and had breakfast at the same time.

Instead of pre-made barbecue skewers for breakfast, Mingzhu opted for the warm steamed buns stored in the space button. Along with a cup of soy milk, Mingzhu devoured the food with gusto, even deliberately asking 184 if he wanted some.

184 was speechless. Mingzhu was simply knowingly committing this offense. They'd already said their system didn't eat carbohydrates, so why did its E-bound host like to tease it?

184 was extremely helpless and reiterated that he didn't eat carbohydrates. "Host, if you continue like this, the system will be angry."

“OK!”

Mingzhu smiled and continued eating his buns without teasing 184 anymore.

Soon, Mingzhu finished eating the buns, cleaned up a little, found a place and started looking for plants.

The impact of the ground fissures is so great that there are few green plants on the surface except for the crisscrossing cracks of various sizes.

No, not only plants, but also animals...

Mingzhu walked for a long time and saw only messy buildings and creatures struggling to survive in the messy buildings.

The earth's crack didn't take them away, but it left them battered and dying. To say they were barely surviving was indeed an understatement...

Anyway, in Mingzhu's opinion, there is no threat at all.

Mingzhu continued walking, and when he came to a place comparable to the Great Rift Valley of East Africa that he had seen before the crossing, he finally saw greenery.

It looks like a banyan tree. All the branches and leaves above the trunk are gone, leaving only a messy root system and...the seeds that should be protected by the banyan tree.

It's quite expected, but not that surprising.

Mingzhu thought for a moment and then collected the banyan tree seeds. He also picked up many fruit tree seedlings not far away.

They were real fruit tree seedlings, all buried in the soil, with only a few mud-covered leaves exposed.

Mingzhu found it odd, figuring he must have planted fruit trees yesterday, which was why he'd found a fruit sapling in the wild today. It was just a strange shape; the tiny cherry sapling even had a human face. If nothing unexpected happened, he was afraid these fruit saplings wouldn't be planted.

"They definitely can't be grown," 184 said bluntly. "Even if the host doesn't pick them up, they'll still be able to survive."

"I know that," Mingzhu replied. "What we should do most right now is actually to collect native species. The evolution of a planet is never achieved by a single species. It requires species diversity. If only humans remain in this world, then destruction is not far away."

And according to Mingzhu's speculation, the will of this planet is actually more inclined towards other species than humans.

This is easy to understand. After all, humans have brought too much pain to the planet. Humans call the blue planet Mother, but Mother is not just the mother of humans, but the mother of all the animals and plants on the blue planet.

"Well... host, you see." 184 changed his mind again, suddenly instigating Mingzhu's demise. "I want to see if the faces on the mutated cherry tree saplings, when grown, can grow from one to many!"

Mingzhu: “…”

"Your idea is wild enough."

Mingzhu wanted to laugh, and in fact, he did. Then Mingzhu didn't refuse. He planted the cherry tree sapling with a human face as 184 requested.

He watered and fertilized the trees, then ran to the side with 184 in his hand. After a while, the mutated cherry saplings he had planted underwent a drastic change and grew very tall.

But surprisingly, it did not attack Mingzhu. Even when Mingzhu stopped, it shook its branches and leaves towards Mingzhu wildly.

It’s not being coquettish, it’s even worse than being coquettish!

No, this is just acting coquettishly!

Mingzhu was very sure that the mutated cherry tree was acting coquettishly towards her.

It's incredible!

It seems to make sense.

Mingzhu was silent for three seconds, then boldly approached the mutated cherry tree.

At this time, the mutated cherry tree had grown from a small sapling into a full-grown tree. The tree was full of cherries. When Mingzhu came over, the mutated cherry tree began to twist its body even more frantically. After a while, the ground was covered with cherries.

Not in the traditional sense, but each one is the size of an apple.

"For me?"

, which means it is just as Mingzhu said.

Mingzhu thanked him and took a bite of a cherry. The taste was exactly the same as the cherries he had eaten before, without any difference.

It's just that it's bigger, which is a disadvantage.

Soon, Mingzhu finished eating the cherry in three or two bites, and then...

"I wonder if the seeds will mutate after they are planted."

“It’s very likely!”

"Then continue planting."

After picking up the cherries on the ground and saying goodbye to the mutated cherry tree, Mingzhu and 184 began to plant trees crazily.

Mingzhu dug a hole, threw the seeds, filled the hole, and then watered and fertilized it. Just like that, another day passed.

At night, when the moon comes out, the seeds that were originally planted take root and sprout at a very fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they grow from seeds into saplings and then into trees.

"This banyan tree grows very fast."

“It’s a banyan tree after all.”

Mingzhu confirmed 184's statement and continued to observe from a distance.

Since it was already dark and the moon was bright but without stars, Mingzhu took out his night vision binoculars and kept observing.

In fact, Mingzhu is currently within the attack range of the mutant plants. This is a very dangerous temptation, and it is not recommended for psychics with average fighting power to do this.

Fortunately, Mingzhu's attempt was very successful. The mutated plants that he planted with his own hands and mutated from seeds did not attack Mingzhu. Although they did not show as much closeness to Mingzhu as the mutated cherry tree, Mingzhu's idea was correct because they did not attack Mingzhu.

The next step is to test whether it is because of the nutrient solution that the mutated plants he planted with his own hands did not attack him.

"Rest first."

Mingzhu and 184 said good night and went to bed decisively.

Another dreamless night. When Mingzhu woke up in the morning, he ate a vegetarian bun and drank bottled milk. While talking to 184, he was also taking notes.

As for 184, it is not completely useless. When Mingzhu is recording, it is supplemented from time to time to make Mingzhu's record more detailed.

Mingzhu finished recording and had breakfast, and soon started a new round of tree planting.

Since he was going to do an experiment today, Mingzhu controlled the planting of 10 apple saplings bought from the Cross-Time and Space Mall and 20 plant seeds he picked up.

Of these 20 plant seeds, 10 were planted with nutrient solution, and the other 10 were planted without nutrient solution.

"Okay, let's wait until dark and see how the situation is." Mingzhu seemed a little relaxed, and then he began to enter the sage mode and started reading instead of continuing to plant trees.

It was also a coincidence that when Mingzhu was reading, he happened to meet Zhang Junfang who was leading a team back from City R. When they left, there were more than 100 people in total, and when they returned, there were still more than 100 people.

"Boss, what are you doing here? Having a picnic?" Fu Chun greeted with a smile.

"We're doing experiments," Mingzhu replied, glancing at the dusty group. "We haven't found any survivors."

Fu Chun: "We found them, but they are unwilling to migrate long distances."

"Indeed, City R is too far away from Taoyuan Base."

"Boss, do you have any ideas for building a new Taoyuan base?" Zhang Junfang suddenly asked. "If you have any ideas, we will do our best to build it."

"We don't have the capacity to build a new Taoyuan base right now," Mingzhu replied. "But in the future, it's very possible."
