Chapter 132 The Resurrection of the Spiritual Energy in the End of the World 47

Lin Xia and his companions stayed in the mountains of Province G for a total of one year.

That day, Shen Xingchen was waiting for Lin Xia to come back home in a depressed mood.

"What's wrong? You look unhappy." As soon as Lin Xia came in, she saw Shen Xingchen sitting silently on the sofa with a long face.

"Now there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

? ? ?

"Good news."

"The good news is that the exorcist has been successfully developed."

I have been researching for a year and a half, it’s not easy!

Lin Xia was happy for a second but immediately suppressed her emotions.

"What about the bad news?"

Shen Xingchen adjusted his glasses.

Lin Xia once praised Shen Xingchen for looking particularly charming in these glasses, so he changed them into plain glasses and put them back on.

"The bad news is that the side effects are quite serious. Once the drug is taken, the demon will turn into a fool."

all in all.

Good news, the person was saved; bad news, the brain could not be saved.

Uh, Lin Xia felt that Lin’s mother would definitely not be able to accept it.

"It's also a breakthrough achievement. You will be able to conquer it sooner or later. You should go out for a walk and change your mind. I recently found a paradise and I plan to take you and mom there to relax."

Shen Xingchen was indeed tired and wanted to go out and play. Not to mention Lin's mother, she needed to socialize with people of her age.

The three of them entrusted Lin Dong to the care of Liu Chun and asked Hai Qiu to take them to a large base in the south of Province G.

The base is called Ginkgo Base, and in the center is a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree that is a thousand meters high.

The ginkgo tree is the patron saint of the base, protecting the people living here.

The Ginkgo Base is like a real paradise, isolated from the world. The vast mountains serve as a natural barrier, and outsiders cannot come in, and people inside cannot go out.

Lin Xia had secretly stayed in the base for a few days before and found that the awakening rate of wood-type abilities here was significantly higher than that of people with other abilities, so the entire base was living a good life with no shortage of food and clothing.

The atmosphere at the Ginkgo Base was peaceful and positive, and Lin Xia lived with the two of them for half a month.

That day, Lin Xia and the other two went on a final shopping spree and they planned to go back the next day.

"Lin Xia, why do you think that Ginkgo Base, a large base with hundreds of thousands of people, has so few demons?"

Human demonization can happen anywhere and at any time, and large bases usually deal with a demonization incident every day.

But it rarely happens at the Ginkgo base. They had been there for half a month and had only encountered one incident. According to the onlookers at the time, the two incidents happened about 20 days apart.

This question stumped Lin Xia. She had never thought deeply about it. "…Because they are happy?"

Shen Xingchen shook his head. His intuition was not right. "What's so special about this base that other bases don't have?"

There are so many strange and bizarre plants in the base.

However, there is indeed a special item that everyone in the base uses.

The two of them were thinking in unison, their eyes met, and they said in unison: "Ginkgo!"

Yes, everyone at the Ginkgo Base carries ginkgo leaves on them. They are all fallen from the ginkgo trees, and everyone can pick them up.

People not only like to pick leaves, but also like to pray under the tree.

If faith can create gods, this ginkgo tree definitely has a place.

Lin Xia and Shen Xingchen figured out some things and walked quickly towards the ginkgo tree.

A red cordon was drawn two meters outside the thick trunk of the ginkgo tree, and outside the cordon were believers coming and going and kowtowing devoutly.

The two men originally planned to pick up a few leaves, but in the end the ground was clean and there was nothing there.

Lin Xia looked around and found a fanatical believer wearing a ginkgo necklace. She used the same reason of worshipping ginkgo to get a leaf for free.

"Little girl, we, the believers of Ginkgo God, pray here at 8 o'clock every morning. Please come more often when you are free." The old man kindly advised Lin Xia.

"Okay, sir, I'll come when I'm free. Thank you very much today. Our work time is almost up this afternoon, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, okay, you young people have worked hard, don't be late for work."

"Okay, sir. Goodbye."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Xia said goodbye to the old man obediently and left.

Shen Xingchen nudged Lin Xia with his elbow, looked ahead, and asked in a low voice: "Do you really want to go and pray with them?"

"I said I was free, but I'm leaving soon, so how can I be free?"

Shen Xingchen: ...It still has to be you, Lin Xia.

He lied with such sincerity that I believed him.

That afternoon, Shen Xingchen was slicing leaves in the rented house.

"Lin Xia, Lin Xia!"

Shen Xingchen strode out of the small room in the laboratory and caught up with Lin Xia who was reading a novel and said excitedly: "Lin Xia, ginkgo leaves have a substance that can calm the mind and spirit. It contains..."

A bunch of chemical terms came out of his mouth.

Although Lin Xia had studied chemistry, she seldom used it often. The string of chemical terms gave her a headache, and she couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted someone who was excited.

He put down the novel and made a pause gesture with his hands, "Stop, let's get to the point."

Shen Xingchen squeezed his butt on Lin Xia's sofa, pushed his glasses, and said seriously: "The Qi-condensing substance in the ginkgo leaves is very mild, and it plays a vital role in blending L2 and demonic energy. But the content of a leaf is very small, and we need a lot of ginkgo leaves."

L2 is the name given by Shen Xingchen to the special light substance extracted from Tang Qijun's blood.

Now that she had a clear goal, Lin Xia paused and decided to go and pray tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning.

"Uncle Wang, I see there are a lot of ginkgo nuts on the sacred tree. Why don't I see any of them in the base?"

After following the old man to kowtow three times and bow nine times to pray for blessings, Lin Xia quickly integrated into the religious elderly group.

When Uncle Wang heard Lin Xia's question, he explained to her seriously, "Xiao Lin, don't collect ginkgo nuts. They are poisonous. Extremely poisonous!"

Then Grandpa Wang told a story. He said that when the base was first built, a person with special abilities went to steal ginkgo nuts and took them home. As a result, his entire family was poisoned to death.

The key point is that the psychic did not eat the ginkgo nuts, he just stayed in the same space.

Later, after inspection by the base staff and communication with the sacred tree, they learned that after the ginkgo fruit falls or is picked, it will emit a toxin. In just half an hour, all living things within three meters will be poisoned. This toxin has no antidote for the fragile human body.

After that, the base issued a clear ban on stealing fruit and leaves without permission, but picking up leaves on the ground does not count.

If theft results in death, then all is over. If not, then you will need to accept punishment from the base afterwards. The punishment is severe, and even if you don't die, you will be severely punished.

The ginkgo tree is a super mutant plant. It turns a blind eye to people stealing its fruits because this is a way for it to establish its authority.

It can protect the people here, but it won't let humans stand on its head and shit. Once humans try to get too far, the poisonous fruits on its head will not be able to resist and will cause an explosion, and few people will survive in the entire base.

Someone at the base had previously proposed to study the ginkgo tree. However, after the official talked with the tree, all the dirty stuff was buried. At least on the surface, no one at the base was studying the leaves and fruits of the ginkgo tree.
