Chapter 46 Chapter 46 When she met Siros...
The pollution concentration in the Xisha area is too high, and coupled with the tide of pollutants, it is even more difficult for the marine orcs to adapt.
At this time, a group of marine orcs were fully armed. Each of them wore multiple layers of protective gear and even carried purification equipment with them to completely remove the pollution in the reception room.
Yarlin looked at Xilos worriedly, fearing that he might be feeling unwell.
His Majesty traveled lightly to the Xisha Islands this time, bringing no one besides the necessary marine orc guards. And in the ocean, aside from his most trusted confidants, no one else knew he had reached land.
Fortunately, the road from the ocean to the Xisha area has been built. It only takes half a day to reach the Xisha area by landing from the nearest sea area.
After receiving the news, He Yang immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed over.
At first, Yarlin only told her that a very important person from the empire would come in person. After he arrived today, he told her that it was His Majesty Siros who came to visit in person.
The Empire practiced royal rule, and even the President of the Federation treated him with respect. The Empire had secretly sent people to the Xisha District to investigate Ye Ning's affairs. They were indeed very angry, but they never expected that Xilos would come to the Xisha District in person.
While thinking about Xilos's information, Heyang rushed to the reception room.
Twenty minutes later, she finally arrived at the reception room.
When you push open the door, what comes into view are the fully armed sea orcs.
Then, her eyes involuntarily fell on the person in the center.
Even though he was wearing thick protective clothing, his face was covered with several layers of filtering masks, and he was even sitting in a wheelchair, it was still difficult to conceal the noble and elegant temperament he exuded in his every move.
The most eye-catching thing was his dark blue hair, which was as smooth and silky as silk and hung down behind him, shining with an indescribable luster under the light.
After completely closing the door, Silos reached out and took off his mask gracefully.
The mask slowly moved up, and He Yang finally saw his full appearance clearly. It was still the same ordinary reception room, but the moment he took off the mask, the whole room became bright and lively.
Siros slowly raised his eyes, and said in a clear and magnetic voice, "Head of Heyang District."
*
This large planting box was not too big, covering an area of one hundred square meters. By noon, Ye Ning had almost finished it all.
Ye Ning stood up and moved his hands and feet.
She is still a little too small now. If she were her original size, her strength and speed would be greater.
Little Mushroom said that when her pollution absorption progress reaches 5%, the system will prioritize allocating some energy to restore her to her original size.
But Ye Ning must not be in a hurry now, because the child's appearance is actually quite convenient. It does not attract attention, does not make people feel threatened, and does not make people alert.
After finishing the planting, Ye Ning looked up at the location of Long Qi's window.
I don’t know if he ate the strawberries. His room was empty, and there probably wasn’t a refrigerator or something to keep things fresh.
Ye Ning turned to look at Bai Qing, "Bai Qing, do we still have strawberries?"
Bai Qing nodded, "There's one more."
"Then I want to eat another strawberry at noon. The strawberries will go bad soon, so I have to eat them quickly."
Bai Qing was surprised. Strawberries kept in the fresh-keeping room would be fine even if they were kept for a few years. But she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take them out later."
In the room, Long Qi stared coldly at the fruit and vegetable basket in front of him. His eyes were devoid of any warmth. If the fruit and vegetable basket had any feeling, it would definitely feel an extremely strong sense of pressure.
From last night till now, she has said twice that the strawberries should be eaten quickly.
strawberry……
Ye Ning had already considered in advance that he might not have seen these things, so she thoughtfully wrote names for the strawberries and tomatoes.
At this moment, he was looking at the two red things in the basket and some beautiful handwriting next to them.
He didn't know what the green energy she gave him was, but that energy allowed him to recover greatly in just one night without using any plants.
The wounds on his body had healed, and the tearing sensation he was used to had disappeared again. He even slept peacefully all night without any dreams.
She was different from all the pure humans he had ever met. This realization made his sense of rejection decrease again and again, but his inner irritability became more and more serious.
His sense of reason was always in his ears, constantly reminding him how hateful pure humans were and that he should always be wary and keep his distance from her. However, after seeing her up close and personal, he found that he couldn't even feel a trace of hatred or disgust towards her.
This collision and entanglement made him feel as if he was being torn apart by two completely opposite forces at all times.
But no matter how much the emotions and reason conflicted in his mind, Long Qi's face remained expressionless.
He stared at the strawberry in front of him, and finally reached out to pick it up.
The sweet and refreshing aroma of strawberries continued to stimulate his nasal cavity.
Ye Ning's voice echoed in his mind again.
He pinched the strawberry stem and slowly put the strawberry into his mouth.
A sweet, slightly sour juice he had never experienced before instantly filled his mouth, instantly overtaking his taste buds and senses. The strawberry juice also flowed down his fingertips and onto his slightly raised wrist bone.
It's time for lunch now. Bai Qing originally wanted to stay here and continue observing, but Ye Ning pulled her back.
"It takes time for plants to grow. Even if we keep watching them anxiously, it won't make them grow faster. We just need to let them grow naturally outside."
Bai Qing thought about it and followed Ye Ning back to the planting room.
When she came back, Gu Yu had just prepared lunch for her.
When Ye Ning was sitting at the dining table, she suddenly found that her lunch seemed to have been updated.
What she had eaten before was mostly meat, eggs, and milk, plus some fruits and vegetables she grew herself, and occasionally some nutrient solution.
These foods are already very rare and precious in the Xisha area. But her food today unexpectedly included seafood and other meats she had never seen before, and they were all her favorites.
"The seafood was sent by the Empire, and the other meats were sent from Gaojiang District. They have been processed in advance and can be eaten directly."
Gaojiang District had previously delivered fresh food, but at the time, they didn't know Ye Ning's taste, so the delivery was very random. This time, when Ye Ning went to Gaojiang District, Hou Yu had the opportunity to get to know Ye Ning personally, so he customized the fresh food according to her appetite.
Ye Ning hadn't expected Hou Yu to be so observant. She didn't really care what tasted good or not, because she knew that fresh food here was precious. Under this premise, no matter how good it tasted, she would never allow herself to waste it.
But it must be said that the food now is indeed more to her liking.
Ye Ning finished her lunch happily, only to find that Hou Yu not only prepared many of her favorite foods for her, but also specially gave her a cotton candy machine after learning that she had participated in a quiz with Feng Qi in the restaurant last time and won a cotton candy.
"Cotton candy machine?"
Hou Lin nodded and brought out the machine. "It seems that as long as you select a picture or upload it, you can create the shape you want."
He tried it, and soon the machine made a monkey marshmallow.
He bit off the monkey's tail in one bite and said, "Not bad, not bad, it tastes good!"
While operating the bracelet, Ye Ning asked Hou Lin, "I don't like things that are too sweet. Can we put it in the store? There doesn't seem to be anything like this in Xisha District. Putting it in a nutrient solution store should attract some customers."
“You can get one for free if you buy a certain amount, or you can win one through a lottery.”
As they were talking, a little tiger was made and Ye Ning handed the marshmallow to Gu Yu.
"Try it too."
The little tiger was the bracelet desktop that Gu Yu set for her at the beginning. It looked cute and had the majestic aura of the tiger clan.
Gu Yu didn’t like sweets that much, but what Ye Ning gave him had a different meaning to him.
He took it with a smile, then took a small bite and said, "It's delicious."
Ye Ning also smiled at him. She knew that Gu Yu didn't like things that were too sweet, and it seemed that only Le Song liked them particularly.
The cotton candy machine was placed in the hall, and Ye Ning planned to let the researchers try it first.
In the afternoon, Ye Ning originally wanted to go to the Ocean Planting Room, but she suddenly received news that the Ocean Planting Room was going to be completely rebuilt, so she didn't need to go there for the time being.
The researchers around didn’t know what was going on. After a brief discussion, they went about their own business.
This way, she would have some free time in the afternoon. Ye Ning thought of the Centella asiatica and asked Gu Yu if she could go and see it now.
Gu Yu: "Of course you can, but recently many people from other districts have come here specially to see the Welwitschia. There's a queue over there, so if you want to see it, you might only be able to see it from a distance."
Ye Ning nodded. It was fine to just take a look from a distance. She just wanted to see it in person, so she would feel more at ease.
As they drove out, they saw that the ocean cultivation room had suddenly undergone a drastic transformation.
Unlike previous construction efforts, this time the number of robots involved was more than double. Over a dozen robots, wielding their robotic arms, worked in the torrential rain, creating a truly spectacular sight.
Ye Ning was a little curious, "Are they going to rebuild a larger ocean cultivation room?"
Hou Lin also found it strange. "They're already planning to build a building, right? With so many robots and this construction speed, they could finish a building with more than ten floors by tomorrow. Is this Professor Hou's idea, or the Xisha District's? Once this building is built, we definitely won't have enough researchers."
Gu Yu also felt a little strange, but He Yang didn't inform him of any new news. He didn't know the specific situation for a while.
They drove and soon arrived near the Welwitschia plant.
It was clearly raining heavily outside with thunder and lightning, but their car was stuck halfway through its journey.
This was somewhat unexpected for Gu Yu. Surrounded by people and cars, honking horns, swearing, and swearing were heard one after another. But soon, a uniformed orc arrived, took their photos, and issued them with a ticket.
When he was about to put the stickers on them, Gu Yu opened the car window.
"Hey, Captain Gu, it's you. Why are you here?" When the man saw that it was Gu Yu, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Look, this group of people are so uncultured. They don't follow traffic rules at all. They are almost exhausting our brothers." He raised the things in his hand, but the smile on his face became even brighter.
Gu Yu: "I happened to be passing by and wanted to see the Welwitschia."
"Now? Forget it. There are so many people over there. I'll wait in line for six hours and only be able to see for ten seconds."
Gu Yu nodded, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before the man turned around and continued to issue tickets to other cars.
Hou Lin couldn't help but say, "You've collected more fines in the past two days than in a year."
Gu Yu: "They did violate traffic regulations."
Hou Lin stopped talking. It was indeed those people who violated the rules first.
Ye Ning popped her head out from the back and said, "Let's not watch it anymore. Let's go back."
They had passed by here before, and the roads were deserted. With the arrival of the rainy season, the streets were even emptier. They hadn't expected the once deserted Xisha area to suddenly become so lively.
It seems that the power of Welwitschia is really great. She originally thought that she could use Welwitschia to promote the tourism industry, but now it seems that it can promote more than just the tourism industry.
This is also good. When people come, there will be money, and with money, there will be other things in the Xisha District.
Gu Yu changed direction and prepared to drive back to the planting room.
Hou Lin looked out the window and said, "I've only been away for a few days, but the Xisha area seems to have changed so much."
Ye Ning nodded in agreement, "It seems like there are a lot more things, and some of the houses on the road have become newer."
Gu Yu: "After the district mayor announced the news about the Welwitschia, it attracted a lot of people. So Xisha District spent some time and resources to make some changes."
That’s pretty good, the other purpose of growing Welwitschia has been perfectly achieved!
On the way back, we saw the sandstorm vortex again in the distance.
Gu Yu immediately parked the car near the building and hid under the cover of the building.
"Let's go over later."
Within five minutes, the sandstorm vortex was getting closer and closer, and was three or four kilometers away from them.
This was the first time Ye Ning saw the sandstorm vortex so clearly. It was like a huge tornado rolling up yellow sand. As it continued to approach, strong winds blew around it, and even the heavy rain fell from vertically to almost parallel to the ground.
Hou Lin held the handle of the car and said, "Don't we really need to drive back? If we get sucked in, we'll go straight to heaven."
Gu Yu was very calm, "No, it will change direction immediately."
As if to confirm his words, just when the storm was one kilometer away from them and the cars and surrounding buildings were buzzing, it really changed direction and swept into the yellow sand.
Hou Lin broke out in a cold sweat. "Not bad, you can even predict this path."
Gu Yu pointed to the route map on the car and said, "This kind of sandstorm vortex can usually be accurately predicted. If it really approaches, we can sink into the ground along with the surrounding buildings. So it doesn't matter whether we drive away or not."
Hou Lin: "That's what I said, but I'm not as calm as you guys."
After waiting for a few more minutes, Gu Yu started the car again.
But just after walking a kilometer, I heard Ye Ning's voice, "Stop, stop!"
She leaned against the window, looking out with shining eyes.
Gu Yu immediately stopped the car, "What's wrong?"
As soon as the car stopped, Ye Ning opened the door and jumped out.
Seeing this, Hou Lin quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
"Wait for me! It's so windy and rainy. What if you get blown away?"
Ye Ning ran a few meters and then stopped.
She squatted on the ground, not at all bothered by the dirt, and rummaged around on the ground with her hands.
Gu Yu also got out of the car with an umbrella. One of them held the umbrella for her, and the other shielded her from the wind and sand, completely ignoring the fact that they were getting wet in the rain.
But everyone was wearing protective clothing, so it wasn't a big problem.
Ye Ning dug out something from the thick sand after digging with his hands for a long time.
Hou Lin: "This is..."
Ye Ning held up the thing and showed it to them, "It's a seed, a seed with vitality."
Ye Ning was also a little curious. As usual, she put all the props in her pocket today, including the "Seed Explorer" badge.
In fact, most of the time, the badge is of little use, because the quality of the seeds in the system is very stable and good. Although there is a certain degree of variation in the seeds in the planting room, none of them are wasted.
But just now, she suddenly discovered that there was a vital seed on the ground.
Ye Ning suddenly understood the meaning of the sentence "Even the tiny seeds hidden deep in the desert can be perceived by you more keenly."
Gu Yu: "The rain is too heavy, do you want to go back to the car first?"
Ye Ning then realized that none of them had umbrellas. She nodded quickly and said, "Sorry, I saw it and came down in a hurry."
"Let's go, let's go." Hou Lin quickly carried her back to the car.
As they were about to get into the car, they shook off the water on their bodies.
The protective suit is made of a special material that will not get wet no matter how heavy the rain is. Even if you go deep into the ocean, the suit can stay dry.
As soon as they got in the car, Ye Ning handed the seeds to them and said, "This might be brought by the sandstorm vortex just now."
"The Xisha area is also a garbage area, so some seeds that are considered unable to germinate are also discarded here."
Is that so? Ye Ning looked at the seeds and thought of the Lala grass seeds she had found in the mud after walking in the yellow sand for a whole day.
She held the seed in her palm and sprouted it.
The tender buds emerged tremblingly, looking extremely cute.
Ye Ning thought about the pollutants and asked, "Is the restricted area the center of the pollutants?"
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Ye Ning might be asking about the place where she appeared.
He explained: "The restricted area is also very large, covering hundreds of kilometers from front to back."
Ye Ning nodded. It seemed that the place where she landed was a relatively safe area in that place.
After Ye Ning returned, she originally wanted to plant the seedling in the planting room.
But after thinking about it, I decided to plant it outdoors.
I don’t know what it went through to appear in front of her, but the fact that it appeared in front of her was enough to prove how tenacious its vitality was.
It took them about two hours to go back and forth, and the foundation of the ocean cultivation room over there had already been built.
Looking at the area, it is larger than the four of their original rooms combined, and even larger than the planting room in Gaojiang District.
Is it because they think marine plants grow very quickly that they need to build such a large planting room? I feel that this reason does not seem to make sense.
Fortunately, when she returned, Hou Sen came back.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. Ye Ning ran over and said, "Teacher!"
"Let me see if you've lost weight?" Hou Sen looked at her carefully. "Luckily, you haven't. If you don't eat well in Gaojiang District, I will definitely cause trouble for them."
"No, the food was delicious and we had seafood."
She could also take out the seafood she caught with her fishing system. She didn't dare take out the king crab, fearing it would run around everywhere, but it was still very convenient for her to take out shells, small fish, etc.
And she can choose to move them out of her private waters, or allow them to come and go freely.
One advantage of having them free to come and go is that if they are hungry, they will go find food on their own, and they will come back obediently after they have finished eating.
Perhaps it was because she had planted plants in it, which reduced pollutants and improved the environment. Ye Ning even felt that she was practicing a new type of marine grazing.
Ye Ning: "Teacher, are they going to build a huge ocean cultivation room next door?"
Hou Sen nodded and glanced around. The researchers all pricked up their ears and looked over.
Hou Sen said coldly: "Don't be curious about things you shouldn't be curious about."
As he said that, he took Ye Ning back into the room.
They really didn't expect that the biggest crisis in the ocean was actually Xiluos's serious illness. No wonder they had been reluctant to tell them the truth before and had always wanted to find Ye Ning.
Silos was the youngest king in the empire, having inherited the throne at the age of fifteen and now only in his early twenties. Most importantly, he was incredibly powerful. Although his spiritual level was publicly declared to be S-class, his true strength clearly far exceeded that.
Some even compared him to Emperor Long, believing him to be on par with Emperor Long in strength. Who could have imagined that he would also suffer such a severe injury, and that it would take so long for him to heal?
Although one was on land and the other in the ocean, both suffered serious injuries this year that are difficult to recover from. The reason for their injuries was that they were in an extremely high concentration of polluted environment and resisted the attack of large amounts of pollutants for a long time.
Of course, if other orcs encountered this situation, they would probably have died long ago and would not have had any chance of treatment.
However, what bothered Hou Sen the most was why he couldn't recover even after using so many plants.
This is very scary. It seems to be saying that although they have finally grown plants on a large scale, the pollution has risen to another level.
In the race between humans and pollutants, they always seem to be losing.
After all, Ye Ning was the key person in this matter, and Hou Sen told her the whole story in detail.
"Your Majesty...are all these plants useless?"
Ye Ning immediately grasped the core of the problem. Hou Sen nodded with relief. "The specific reason is still unclear, so it would be great if we could take this opportunity to research this matter thoroughly."
"The ocean cultivation room over there will be specially arranged for marine orcs to be stationed there. They are also worried that the matter of Xilos will be leaked, so this will save us some trouble."
They were already short on researchers, and Gaojiang District was already rapidly expanding its enrollment. Even juniors and seniors from the district's top universities were getting the chance to care for plants themselves. It was a bit difficult to get them to send more people.
Hou Sen thought, I still need to mobilize the researchers in the Xisha area. They're a little behind, but the key to plant cultivation is care and patience. They don't need to do cutting-edge research anyway.
Hou Sen added: "He's the one who came to ask you for help. If he has a bad attitude or does something that offends you, you don't have to be too polite to him."
Ye Ning nodded.
In her mind, an image of Aquaman emerged: he had a big belly, a majestic appearance, a full beard on his face, and held a big fork in his hand.
But since it's a mermaid, it should have a fish tail. Ye Ning added a blue fish tail to it.
It seems a bit eye-irritating.
The people here are all very pretty, and the mermaids should be pretty too.
Ye Ning waved away the images in her mind. She also wanted to know why the plants she grew became ineffective.
Logically speaking, the seeds provided by the system should be very effective.
They are indeed very good. Normally, the purification effect of one strain is equivalent to that of two or three strains.
But she would have to wait until she met Xilos to find out.
At four o'clock in the morning, the rapidly built ocean palace was finally completed.
While Ye Ning was sleeping, Xilos and his group, accompanied by He Yang, once again entered Long Qi's range.
The moment Xilos stepped in, Long Qi, who was sleeping, opened his eyes without warning.
