Chapter 147

What looked familiar was none other than the slimy mutant plant that often came to Daxi Village to look for its godmother.

Behind it, it used its own roots to drag out a large bag of things.

After it came out with the things, Shi Tou and other children discovered that there were mutant animals following it.

It looks familiar.

I've seen it before on the mountain.

Some of them follow Ali as his younger brother, while others follow Xiao Hei’s mother as his younger brother.

Anyway, the strength of these mutant animals is already among the best in this forest. Now they are making a special trip just to deliver something, obviously they are following orders.

For example, Ahri asked to be carried, or to bring training resources to Xiao Hei when crossing the mountain.

If you ask questions with the answers in mind, you will get the answers very quickly.

The facts were similar to what Shitou had thought. Among the training resources that Guo Shanfeng asked his younger brother to bring out, some were undoubtedly given to Xiao Hei. Unexpectedly, some of them were also distributed to Godmother and Shitou.

Guo Shanfeng was not sure if he would encounter any accidents and not be able to return to this world after bringing so many mutant animal minions into the secret realm. Therefore, he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of Xiao Hei after something happened, so he could only try his best to find resources for Xiao Hei to improve its strength.

The same goes for stones.

It's for my godmother, so there's no other thought involved. It's purely protection money.

"Here, here's this pile of stuff. You all come up and take it back."

Ahri stepped forward and touched the pile of resources with her front paws.

"OK."

Shi Tou took a look and felt that he had completed his mission after bringing all the things out. The mutant animals that had already started to drill into the secret realm wanted to thank him, but it was too late because they left too fast.

"Ahri, should we bring something for them next time? It seems like they've worked so hard to collect these resources, and they're just giving them to us like this."

"This isn't something you should worry about. Since they can deliver us across the mountain, they'll definitely give us other benefits. As for the rest, we still have our godmother here."

After Ali finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave with a group of laborers.

Of course, it is impossible to let Shitou and the others carry all those things. There are so many things that even their small shoulders would be crushed and they might not be able to get them all back.

When they were halfway there, Shitou looked at Ali's furry back and couldn't hold back, so he asked his question.

"Ah Li, you brought us here today, is there something else?"

Hearing what Shitou said, Ali, who was walking in front, paused and then continued walking forward.

"Well, we might go into that secret realm later. For mutant plants and animals, that secret realm is the only way to survive in the future."

Ali was telling the truth.

They are now highly mutated and powerful. Like those monks, they have a vague premonition about the future.

This vague premonition has been reminding them that their future lies in the secret realm, not on the blue planet.

Regarding this premonition, Ahri had tested the stones before, but they didn't have it.

Before setting off today, Ali also asked Huaihuai, and only made this decision after receiving a positive answer.

However, although he was talking about the possibility of leaving, Ali was still reluctant to do so, otherwise he would not have taken the things and returned with Shi Tou and the others today.

Ying Huai realized what Ali and the others had in mind when Ali asked him about it.

It's simply that Xiao Tiandao is doing something he doesn't know what, making the world a mess, and he doesn't want the mutated plants and animals he has taken such pains to care for to die from heat or natural disasters after he's done.

When faced with natural disasters, humans can at least have historical experience to draw on and refer to, and at the very least, they can survive.

But those mutated animals and plants that have just evolved brains are not in the same league. Even if they are smart, they have not yet reached that level, and their ability to resist risks is still not as good as that of humans.

In this way, Xiao Tiandao would take time out of his busy schedule to remind those mutated animals and plants to hide in the secret realm. He really likes it and is concerned about the mutated animals and plants.

As for those brainless mutated animals and plants that have not left yet, or have not died in natural disasters, they are no longer within the scope of Xiao Tiandao's attention.

Like humans, it didn't pay attention. It had the attitude of "live if you can, die if you can't", and it didn't care at all.

As for why Xiao Tiandao didn’t tell Ying Huai?

Ying Huai even knew what Xiao Tiandao's current condition was, so this natural disaster would not cause any problem for him at all.

So Xiao Tiandao never thought that he needed to tell Ying Huai about this.

Fortunately, Ying Huai already knew about the natural disaster and was prepared to try his best to protect humanity.

As for matters beyond his ability, he cannot act as a guarantor.

Ying Huai knew about the secret realm on the back mountain from the beginning, but he had never explored it in detail until now.

Ying Huai has a branch growing over there, but the branch has never entered the secret realm and can only be seen from the outside. Ying Huai still doesn't know the specific internal situation.

Therefore, he missed the surprise that Xiao Tiandao had prepared for Ying Huai for a long time.

The mutant seeds have already begun to be sown into the secret realm. The environment outside is completely unsuitable for the survival of plants with insufficient abilities. Even those mutant plants with abilities are trying to hide, not to mention the mutant crops cultivated by humans.

If humans want to force the plant to grow, that's fine. They can plant it in the holes they dug, and with the addition of supplementary lighting, it can grow.

It's just not enough. There is limited manpower now, and most of the holes that can be dug are for human survival and summer heat relief. The food grown in many places is simply not enough to feed so many people.

Since the food grown in the caves couldn't satisfy human consumption, the only option was to do as originally planned. When the special abilities entered the secret realm, they would sow the mutant seeds there, letting them grow naturally. Then, when the secret realm opened again, the special abilities would enter and harvest them.

At the beginning, they were afraid that the food they sowed in the secret territory would be consumed by the mutated animals in the secret territory, so they specially cultivated varieties with poor taste, which needed to be processed again before they could eat normally.

"Are you ready? If you are, let's go!"

Captain Dai, carrying a package that looked bigger than his upper body, stood in front of his team members and started asking questions. It looked like he was ready to take his team members out at any time.

The secret realms that appear on the Blue Planet are large and small, and the opening time of each secret realm is different.

One of the reasons why they did not set out into the secret realm to sow seeds when the high temperature just arrived was that they did not have a clear understanding of the opening and closing times of the secret realm at that time.

Now that they have a clear understanding, it happens that the satellite reminds them that a secret realm in the country is about to open. Captain Dai takes his team members and prepares to set off with crop seeds that can be planted and harvested during the opening and closing time period of the secret realm.

They need to enter the secret realm and plant seeds during the period when the secret realm is open, then search for resources in the secret realm within a limited time, and then leave the secret realm. When the secret realm opens next time, they will enter the secret realm again, harvest the crops that have just matured, and plant seeds for the new season.

Only by seizing the time when the secret realm opens and closes and making rational use of the resources inside can humans survive in this world that is destined to be difficult in the future.

As for their initial worry about encountering cultivators from another world in the secret realm, when it comes to survival, they don't want to think about it too much for the time being.

There was no secret realm on the Blue Planet originally. It appeared later, and humans were able to enter it. That was their opportunity.

If those monks can enter, they can enter as well, but they are not as confident as others.

"Captain, we're ready!"

The other team members who were questioned by Captain Dai checked their bags again to make sure they had brought everything they wanted before they responded.

Out of caution, Zhuang Dun took a little longer to check. After all, he had a space where he could put things, and he had a lot of things there, so it was normal that it took more time.

"I'm fine too." Zhuang Dun withdrew his consciousness from looking at the space and replied.

"Then let's go."

Now that you have decided what you need to bring, there is no need to delay any longer.

They set out at night, and although it was still hot, it was not as hot and scorching as during the day when the sun was out.

"Let's drive faster while it's still dark. We won't be able to drive faster when it's daytime."

After getting in the car, Tang Ji started urging as soon as the vehicle started.

He looked so hurried, as if he was the one driving.

For these official people with special abilities, a car is essential for their mission this time. Otherwise, they can't just rely on their own strength to go out.

They are afraid that ordinary cars may have accidents due to high temperatures in such hot weather, so the cars they are driving now are specially made by the research institute.

The energy source is no longer the same as that used by ordinary cars in the past, but the medium-grade spirit stones dug out from the spirit stone mine.

According to the Taoist, if this car was used in the era of spiritual practice, it could be used as a magic instrument.

It's a magical weapon of the type that eats spirit stones and is like a gold-eating beast.

They don't have many spirit stone mines now, and there are many people with special abilities summoned by the government in the flower-growing country, so they are all considered to be eating the country's food.

Since we are already supported by the government, some resources for cultivation still need to be provided.

There are many spirit stone veins in the country, and the spirit stones mined seem to be numerous, but when they are distributed among the capable people in various bases, they are somewhat stretched.

At a time when spirit stones are so scarce, they have done a great job by specially developing such an expensive vehicle for the various teams of capable people to use in order to facilitate travel.

There are many teams like Captain Dai who usually go out to carry out such tasks.

In addition to the central base, the Flower Growing Family branch also has major bases on the mountains in different regions that allow teams of capable people within their bases to enter the secret realm to complete such tasks.

Each major base also has its own considerations.

Although the number of people alive in the base now is not as many as when the changes in heaven and earth first started, many people have been lost after several rounds of natural disasters of varying degrees. However, the amount of food consumed every day by the remaining people alone is very large.

It is still difficult to ensure that they have enough food to eat and do not starve to death in such a natural disaster environment.

Therefore, it is definitely not possible to pin all hopes on the dispatch within the central base. They never expected this from the beginning.

It's just that the weather is hot now, and those mutant plants that can barely fill their stomachs have all hidden. They have already found other ways, so it is impossible for them to wait for the central base to dispatch food, which cannot be completely sure how much food will be dispatched to them to replenish the granary.

They still need to take action themselves.

The way small and medium-sized bases operate is to let their own team of capable people bring food seeds and go in to plant food when the secret realm near their base is opened.

As soon as the secret realm opens, the humans on Blue Star bring so many things into the secret realm. Even if they intentionally avoid those cultivators, they are not pushovers, so it is normal for them to be caught.

In the world of immortal cultivation, the people who enter the secret realm are not as clean as those on Blue Star.

The people who enter the secret realm over there are all kinds of people. Some have low cultivation levels; some have relatively high cultivation levels; some come from aristocratic families and sects of cultivation; some are independent cultivators who have risen on their own, or they are evil cultivators and demon cultivators who are not welcomed in the world of cultivation.

When the people with special abilities on Blue Star just started to gain some abilities, they would encounter such a hodgepodge when entering certain secret realms, and these people were a group of people with extremely different personalities and characters, so conflicts were inevitable.

Although the team of ability users tried their best to avoid conflicts with those people, in the end, Blue Star still lost a lot of grown-up ability users due to the conflicts.

How could someone who could become a front-line person and be assigned by the base to carry out such a most important food mission for the future of mankind not be excellent?

The deputy captain of Captain Dai's team was injured when fighting with a monk who looked bad-tempered and came to cause trouble for them. If he had not received timely medical treatment and asked for locust leaves from the locust tree at the entrance of the base before leaving the base, and if he had not been lucky, he would probably be dead now.

Even so, he was unable to recover his abilities after being exhausted due to overuse of his abilities. According to his godmother, he almost drained himself dry in order to resist the monk.

It is equivalent to extracting nutrients and water from a piece of moist and fertile soil. Now only sand is left. If you want to restore the sand to the state of soil, you can only slowly cultivate it.

There is no rush, and there is nothing they can do.

But for those cultivators in the secret realm who have already intended to set foot on Blue Star, they must find a way. Otherwise, allowing some cultivators with bad tempers and personalities to come to Blue Star will be another big blow to this already broken world.

Ask why you think so?

After all, the current Blue Star is not as good as the world of immortal cultivation, and it can even be said to be bad.

Why would they think that those monks would invade Blue Star and cause greater damage to Blue Star?

The reason lies in those secret realms.

During this time, just as those cultivators would come to get to know them, they would also intentionally ask those cultivators with good temperaments about things when they met them.

Now we know a lot.

The secret realm that appeared on Blue Star is hope for the current Blue Star, and it is also a great opportunity for those cultivators.

In the world of cultivating immortals, these secret realms are not like those on Blue Star. They are opened at intervals of no more than three months. Over there, even the secret realm with the least resources and the smallest area will take at least ten years to open.

As long as those cultivators come to Blue Star, it will be no different from falling into a blessed place.

In a very short period of time, they can continuously enter different secret realms and collect the resources inside.

The tree needs to grow, and it will take several years for it to grow well, not to mention the resources in the secret realm.

If all their abilities are taken away by those people, what will happen to the people with special abilities on Blue Planet?

Now the abilities of people with special abilities can affect human survival.

Any less would be a huge loss.

But at present they don’t have much of a choice. If they want to make a profit, they can only enter the secret realm and fight with the cultivators from other worlds.

Ying Huai also knew something about these things.

His branches are spread across major bases in the Flower Country. Even if he doesn't want to know something, someone will come to him and tell him.

The majority, apart from the official personnel, are the families of those with special abilities who go to the secret realm to carry out missions.

They themselves do not have the ability to help their own children, so they can only place their hopes on Ying Huai. Everyone knows that the locust tree at the entrance of the base is a very divine mutant tree, so it is normal for them to come to Ying Huai for help.

After Ying Huai knew the current situation, he was also thinking about how to help them, but he didn't have much of an idea at the moment, so he could only give his locust leaves to the people who set out on the mission.

Only after that did I start to think of ways to contact Xiao Tiandao, who had disappeared and not spoken to me for a long time.

He has been active during this period, but Ying Huai has not seen any changes on Blue Star other than extreme weather. Ying Huai does not believe that the impact of Heaven's actions is limited.

After a long period of contact, Ying Huai finally received a response from the busy Xiao Tiandao.

"I'm busy. What's the matter that's so urgent?"

I didn't know what happened when Xiao Tiandao replied, and he was still mumbling his reply.

"What are you busy with? People from the cultivation world have appeared on Blue Star. Do you know about this?"

When Ying Huai asked this question, he was not sure whether there were really any cultivators from the immortal world coming to Blue Star. He said this to trick Xiao Tiandao.

"I know, it won't amount to anything. Don't worry, I'll deal with it when I'm empty-handed."

How could Xiao Tiandao not know that people who shouldn't have come to this world appeared in the world he controlled?

If there really were cultivators carrying treasures that could confuse the ways of heaven, there would be no need for them to enter the secret realm and compete with other cultivators for these resources. Wouldn't it be better to directly snatch the opportunities from those sons of destiny?

"That's good. Do you need my help over there?"

Seeing that Xiao Tiandao had no intention of dealing with it now, Ying Huai put these matters aside for the time being.

"Well, not for now. Come back when I need you."

Faced with Ying Huai's initiative to offer, Xiao Tiandao hesitated for a moment and decided to give up on letting Ying Huai help him now.

After all, what He is doing now is somewhat shameful.

It sounds a bit unpleasant to talk about stealing secrets from other worlds in order to upgrade your own world, so I'd better not talk about it.

Just before Tiandao wanted to cut off the connection, he suddenly thought of something.

"Ying Huai, why don't you plant the branches in those secret realms?"

Since Ying Huai came to find him for humans, let Ying Huai go into the secret realm to protect those humans, and prevent those people from the cultivation world from coming out and causing trouble. He doesn't have time to deal with those cultivators who came out of the secret realm.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was feasible. Xiao Tiandao didn't care whether Ying Huai agreed or not and directly cut off the contact.

Ying Huai felt helpless. He called out to Tiandao twice more but got no response. Finally, he had no choice but to think of a solution.

His branches cannot enter the secret realm now.

It hadn't been long since he last broke a branch, and he had just recovered. He didn't have the energy to continue breaking branches and sending them into the secret realm.

But it's still possible to think of other ways.

For example, ask the base to move his almost grown locust tree to the entrance of the secret realm.

Although he still cannot enter the secret realm in this way, at least he can provide safety guarantee for those who go on the mission.

Provide a safe area for those who are seriously injured and leave the secret realm to heal their wounds.

Having an idea, Ying Huai did not delay and told the base directly.

They also had some ideas about Ying Huai's proposal.

The situation at the base has now stabilized.

Those mutant animals that were ready to attack the base at any time hid because of the high temperature, and the mutant animals with strong strength and brains entered the secret realm. It can be said that except for natural disasters, the survival pressure of humans outside is relieved.

In this case, it is completely feasible to move the godmother's branches to the secret realm.

Perhaps, they can also move the base to the edge of the area where those secret realms appear.

After analysis by the Flower Growers' upper echelons and information provided by some people with predictive abilities, it is believed that humans may still need to rely on finding food from those secret realms to survive for a long time to come.

Their current location is some distance away from the locations of those secret realms.

The team going on the mission has to travel for a long time, which is inconvenient. But when it comes to harvesting, for the sake of long-term development, they can't always let people with special abilities go in to harvest, right?

As time goes by, what will the people in the base think? What will the people with special abilities think?

People are selfish. Those with special abilities have been running around outside for a long time, while the people in the base seem to have nothing to do. It is natural that they will have some thoughts over time.

The reason why it can be suppressed now is due to the external environment. People are all working together with only one goal: to survive.

But this is only feasible in the short term. Over time, the flower-growing families will always lean towards those with strong abilities in terms of resources, which will lead to conflicts. Those with strong abilities will have to go to various secret realms to collect food for ordinary people, which is also not feasible.

It would be better to take this opportunity to slowly move the base to the edge of the area where those secret realms are located, so that ordinary people can participate in it to a certain extent.

Once the idea of moving the base came up, it became unstoppable.

Before that, they followed Ying Huai's wishes and found several people with abilities that were very suitable for moving trees to relocate the locust tree.

This action allowed other people in the base to know some of the thoughts of the people above.

and where they might go in the future.

There were both voices of approval and disapproval within the base.

It's hot outside. Moving the base in this temperature is like playing with human lives.

Another thing is that the people in the base had almost finished building their underground residences and had moved in. Those who lived in other places on the mountain had also decorated their caves. They hadn't been living there for long and were about to leave for other places. How could they not have anything to say?

There is a lot of voice in the country now that people do not want to move the base. At this stage, the people have finally settled down, and if they have to move again, no one will be happy about it.

But we have to change the place.

There are many vehicles built in the base that can be used for travel and are powered by spirit stones. They are very fast, but they consume a lot of energy!

In the long run, it would be enough to use the consumed spirit stones to train people with good abilities to go to the front line.

However, the concerns of other people in the base are also justified.

In such hot weather, it would be very hot to go directly to that secret place, and the journey would be very difficult.

Don’t think that just because ordinary people in the base have improved their physical fitness, they can build it at will.

Ordinary people are ordinary people after all. They cannot match the physical fitness of people with special abilities, and their physical strength can be improved as their abilities improve.

The solution they finally came up with was to dig a tunnel from their current location.

The base here will not be abandoned directly. No one knows what kind of natural disasters will occur in the future. If the rainy season comes again and the rain is as heavy as before, they will still need to take the people back to the mountains.

With this plan, the people's previous concerns have gradually subsided.

They will not give up their current residence and they can still live in the holes they have dug.

After they build the tunnel to the vicinity of the secret realm and repair the base, they can consider whether to move there again. There is still time to consider it.

After the decision was made from above, the teams of people with special abilities who went to the secret realm to sow seeds had not yet fully returned, but they had already started digging.

It is unrealistic to ask people with special abilities to dig such a long tunnel alone. Ordinary people in the base will also have to go up.

For ordinary people, it is also a source of income, so how can they not go?

Other places will also get the news from the central base.

The same is true in Daxi Village.

However, they don’t have to worry about relocating the base. There is a secret realm on the mountain behind them, but that secret realm has not been fully opened yet.

Since the mutated animals on the mountain can go in and bring out resources, I think we can wait for some time and then go in to plant.

With this idea in mind, people in Daxi Village did not take any action and just watched the news from other places on the Internet.

Although he didn't move, he wasn't idle either. Mayor Xiao would come to Ying Huai's tree almost every few days to inquire about the situation outside and the secret place on the mountain behind.

In the words of Mayor Xiao, the news on the Internet nowadays is not as good as what you know from your godmother.

There is a secret realm on the mountain behind, which even official people have never entered. They can only find out through Shitou and Godmother. Shitou only knows what Ali and the others have told him, and he can only describe that there are many resources inside, but they cannot make a specific comparison of how big the resources are or how dangerous they are.

In the end, I can only ask my godmother.

What's the point of asking Ying Huai? Has Ying Huai ever been in there? Xiao Tiandao is still keeping it a secret. It's such a big secret realm, and even Ying Huai hasn't revealed what's inside.

Well, the last thing that can be confirmed is that the secret realm in the mountains behind is indeed large and rich in resources.

Time passed slowly as the official base planned, and the tunnel was dug. The base outside the secret realm was almost built.

It was time for the secret realm to open. Knowing that a batch of grain would mature in the secret realm later, the people in the base were very happy and couldn't wait to go into the secret realm to harvest together.

But the reality is that it is impossible. They are not sure whether there will be cultivators from the immortal world in the secret realm. Out of caution, they will not rashly let ordinary people in.

After repeated investigations and with the help of surveillance cameras, and after confirming that there were no monks inside, the base leaders issued a document allowing ordinary people to participate in harvesting food in the secret realm.

Of course, it was also explained in advance that even if there was a first-line team of capable people to protect it, there were no powerful cultivators in the secret realm, and there were too many uncertain factors, but there were still monsters and mutated animals and plants inside.

The danger is still there, but it will be controlled within a certain range by the front-line team of capable people.

Let the people think it over and sign up after themselves. They can keep a portion of the harvested grain and hand over the rest to the government for unified distribution.
