Chapter 245 I don’t want much, just a little bit is enough

Why do we let earthworms dig the ground before we move in?

Because if the foundation of a building is very solid and tightly connected to the surrounding land, Qiao Lan will not be able to take it away. Otherwise, wouldn't her 300 acres of space be able to easily accommodate a town?

But it’s different if the foundation is loosened. At this time, the house is separated from the land, which is equivalent to a large object placed on the ground, making it easier to put away.

Of course, collecting such a large thing consumed a lot of mental strength and energy. After collecting it, Qiao Lan immediately held a crystal core to restore his physical strength.

Then I was still a little hungry, so I made a few more boxed lunches and shared them with the mutant animals around me to fill my stomach.

When eating, she deliberately went to the mechanical bird to eat, which made Zhang Baigujing under the bird's claws very greedy.

"Are you greedy? Do you want to eat? It's a pity that there's no share for you. It's your fault that you're the enemy."

Zhang Guotou was so angry that he howled. It was definitely too late to surrender now.

When it comes to making people angry, Qiao Lan is at the highest level.

"Okay, it's done, let's go back!"

After eating and drinking, Qiao Lan jumped onto the bird's back with Cha Cha and the earthworm, took the animals that Xiao Li left behind to guard the house, and drove the flying car back to Heishui Town.

She came out this time specifically to take back the carefully arranged safe house.

I have already decided to settle down in Blackwater Town. I can’t just leave the comfortable safe house far away for others to take advantage of, so of course I have to bring it to the town.

However, after returning to the town, Qiao Lan did not rush to set up a safe house, but first took the captured Zhang Baigu to find Ye Qi.

Ye Qi was not there, as he had led his team into the city to get busy. Old Lady Staff Officer Li was there.

"Oh girl, you're such a lucky charm! How come you can capture the backbone of the C City Temple just by going out? That's amazing! I told you you're a little hero, right? You're even prettier today than you were yesterday. Look how good you look. You're still very thin, though. You need to eat more to gain weight, okay?"

The old lady was happier to see Qiao Lan than to see the captive Zhang Baigujing. She walked up to him, holding his hand and talking to him warmly.

This wasn't the first time she'd said Qiao Lan had lost weight. Qiao Lan looked down at her round belly. She was a little thinner than before, but not "very thin," was she? Was the old lady's eyes dazzled?

"Staff Officer Li, let's deal with this prisoner first."

Qiao Lan tried to bring the topic back on track.

"Why call me Staff Officer Li? That's so strange. Call me Grandma. I'm Feng Feng's real grandmother, not just your grandmother. You two are friends."

"Okay, then, Grandma Li, let's talk about this prisoner first."

Qiao Lan didn't bother with the address and sweetly called her Grandma, which made the old lady smile.

"Okay, let's talk about the prisoners. How do you want to talk about it, girl?"

Qiao Lan rubbed his hands pitifully and said, "I captured this backbone of the enemy with great difficulty. I lost a lot of bullets and my gun was almost broken before I captured her. I was still injured, so it was really hard to capture her. But Grandma Li, capturing the enemy is a contribution to the official. I'm not asking for rewards, I just have a small hope. Look, can you replenish the bullets I lost? It would be even better if you could give me some more guns, grenades, explosives, etc. Otherwise, next time I meet the enemy, I won't have enough bullets. You know, when I helped fight that half-serpent monster, I basically used up all the bullets on my body. In order to allow me to help the official kill more enemies, can you support me with some weapons? I don't ask for much, just a little bit will be fine..."

It's not nonsense. She really ran out of ammunition, and the bullets she shot at Zhang Baigu today were the last batch.

"Okay, okay, support, definitely support. Grandma has made the decision. I'll let Xiaofeng take you to the armory to get guns and bullets. You can take as many as you can!" Staff Officer Li agreed immediately.

This caught Qiao Lan off guard. She was about to shed a few tears and complain even harder, but he agreed so readily.

"Just take it? Really?"

"Really? I have the approval authority. Just take it."

Don't regret it, don't you know I have a huge space?

Qiao Lan happily handed Zhang Baigujing over to Staff Officer Li, and also made a small request - if they were going to execute the prisoner, she would ask her partner Hou Tian to do it.

After hearing about Hou Tian's feud with Zhang, Staff Officer Li nodded and said, "Okay, the prisoner will be interrogated. Her skeleton may need further research. If she is to be executed, I authorize your men to do it. It doesn't matter who is killed."

“Thank you, Grandma Li!”

Qiao Lan hugged the old lady and kissed her, then handed over the broken bones of the White Bone Demon in the sack. With an Awakened expert by her side, Grandma Li didn't have to worry about the White Bone Demon regrouping and causing trouble.

In return, Qiao Lan recommended Yin Wanying's psychic abilities to Grandma Li, saying that they could help in interrogating prisoners. Staff Officer Li gladly accepted.

Before Qiao Lan left, the old lady stuffed two packets of compressed biscuits into her hands.

"Eat more and gain more weight to be healthy!"

Qiao Lan was stunned. Is this guy serious? Does he really think she is thin?

She has no shortage of food.

"Is this your ration? I don't want it, Granny Li."

"Take it, take it. How much can an old woman like you eat? I'm not awake yet, so my appetite is much smaller than yours. I can't eat food with hair on it."

The old lady was truly welcoming. Meeting her sincere gaze, Qiao Lan couldn't bear to reject her kindness, so she took the cookies, intending to repay the old lady someday.

Staff Officer Li saw Qiao Lan out. Qiao Lan had been gone for a long time and had disappeared, but the old lady was still looking out the door.

"Grandma, what are you doing? Don't you mind being in the sun? It's a bit hot today. I can't wear my cotton-padded jacket anymore. I'm afraid you'll get sunburned!"

Feng Feng came back and dragged the old lady into the house.

Staff Officer Li wiped his eyes and sniffed, "...If your sister were still alive, she would be the same age as Qiao Lan."

"Hey, grandma, don't think about it. My sister must be doing well in heaven. She left early and didn't have to experience the end of the world. It's a blessing, isn't it?" Feng Feng comforted.

He had a cousin who died in childhood. She was plump and round, with eyes and features quite similar to Qiao Lan's. He'd felt a sense of familiarity the moment he'd seen her. Later, when he'd returned to Beijing and mentioned her to his grandmother, she'd been thinking about her ever since. The old lady, having retired from the military long ago, had volunteered to join the war effort, serving as a flight staff officer across the country, her first stop being City C.

Although the base in City C is very representative and is the target of key support from the higher-ups, the old lady can go anywhere for her inspection first, but the fact that she came to City C first must have something to do with Qiao Lan.

"She really looks like Yuanyuan." The old lady sighed.

If my granddaughter Yuanyuan were alive today, would she look like this? Lively and affectionate, sometimes even adorably fierce?

When the old lady thought of this, she scolded her grandson: "Xiaofeng, you little bastard, why didn't you take action earlier? Ye Qi got there first. I really want Qiao Lan to call me grandma."

It’s not just calling her “Grandma Li”; calling her “Grandma” is what shows real affection.

Feng Feng was furious. "Are you going too far? If you want her to call you grandma, you can just accept her as your granddaughter. Why do you insist on me hooking her up as my wife? I don't like her type. I like cute ones!"

"Isn't she adorable? Brat!"

Despite the scolding, Grandma Li's eyes lit up, her grandson opening her mind...

A-choo!

A-choo, A-choo!

Qiao Lan, who was talking to Jiang Yue over there, sneezed several times.

"... Be careful, Miss Qiao! They don't like loud noises." Jiang Yue was so scared that he quickly held the petri dish away from his arms.

There was half a jar of soil in the petri dish. There was nothing on the surface, but buried deep in the soil were rice seeds obtained from the temple.

Even before germination, these mutant seeds possessed intelligence. In adverse conditions, they disliked germination and became agitated, rubbing and fighting with one another in the soil. Although they were plants, they behaved like animals.

"Miss Qiao, can you really make them grow normally and produce edible crops?"

Jiang Yue looked at Qiao Lan eagerly.

"able."

Qiao Lan was full of confidence. He grabbed the petri dish from Jiang Yue, opened the lid, and said to Dr. Zhao Hui, who was called in to help, "Spray it."

Zhao Hui obediently raised her arm, and a huge flame burst out, burning the petri dish.

Jiang Yue screamed, almost fainting from anger: "What are you doing!"

These are the seeds he has been guarding for more than ten hours!

Before it even sprouted, the seeds and the soil were burned to ashes by the fire! !
