Chapter 37 Chapter 37 The person is missing——
Heavy rain for several consecutive days continued to wash away the yellow sand.
Even some temporary wetlands and small lakes appeared in the desert.
However, during the rainy season, the biggest threat facing the Xisha region is the violent erosion of mining sites by heavy rain.
Mining site in Xisha District.
Because it is located in a desert area, the mining site has been surrounded by dozens of meters high walls to block wind and sand. However, during the rainy season that lasts for a month, these protective measures are difficult to completely withstand the invasion of heavy rain. Therefore, every time this happens, the mining site will face the risk of severe erosion.
But even in such bad weather, the mines did not stop working.
Countless silver mine carts shuttled back and forth on the tracks. The sound of rain mixed with thunder, wind, and the noisy noises produced by various equipment caused people's eardrums to suffer multiple tortures.
Deep in the mine, the light was dim and low. Soldiers, armed with weapons and wearing protective clothing, were patrolling back and forth with serious expressions.
There are special robots patrolling at regular intervals. Anyone who tries to escape will be immediately shot at.
The atmosphere here was tense and depressing, and the soldiers showed no good face to these serious criminals.
"Hurry up, no one can eat or sleep if the mission is not completed today." The soldier's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, scanning the faces of every serious criminal.
Upon hearing this, the serious criminal, no matter how unwilling he was, could only lower his head, grit his teeth, and speed up his hands after seeing the black muzzle of the gun.
Sweat mixed with dirt and various pollutants lingered around the crowd. Each of them looked exhausted, but they did not receive any sympathy or mercy.
But at this moment, the sky suddenly rang with loud thunder, one after another. The thunder rumbled so loudly that even the earth seemed to tremble.
The tense and oppressive atmosphere in the mine instantly reached its peak. The next second, someone suddenly shouted, "Someone escaped!"
"Quick, block all exits immediately!"

In the planting room, Ye Ning secretly gave the bamboo seedlings a lot of supernatural powers.
Although bamboo shoots grow into bamboo very quickly, it is not easy to grow bamboo from bamboo shoots.
Because the growth rate of bamboo seedlings is relatively slow, it needs to first grow its roots all over the ground and form a dense root network before it enters a rapid growth period and ushers in the stage of rapid forest formation.
Normally, the entire forest growth process takes several years.
This might seem like a long timeframe, but when it comes to the process of "a seed growing into a tree, and then a forest," bamboo is already the fastest-growing tree. So even if it's slow initially, they should still give it a try.
Ye Ning planted it for a few days, consuming a lot of his supernatural powers, but there was not much change in the surface growth of the bamboo. However, its roots had already taken deep root in the soil and spread out wantonly.
The root system grows at an amazing rate, changing almost every day. After a few days, the space provided for it in the planting room is no longer enough.
The researchers were a little troubled and couldn't help but start a discussion.
"If this were in Gaojiang District, we could even open a separate planting room just for these bamboos."
"Yeah, there are still a dozen or so empty growing rooms over there. There's not enough to grow crops here, and no one's growing crops over there."
"There's nothing I can do. Lord Ye Ning is so powerful. He can fill three planting rooms by himself."
"If she were in Gaojiang District, I'm afraid she could fill more than a dozen planting rooms."
Everyone originally had expectations about her abilities, but Ye Ning always exceeded their expectations time and time again, making people feel that her abilities seemed to have no upper limit, and they dared not make any more random guesses.
At least for now, it was far beyond her capabilities. The still-living Welwitschia outside and the countless plants here were prime examples.
When Ye Ning learned that there were still more than a dozen idle planting rooms in Gaojiang District, she felt it was a bit of a waste.
Especially after hearing that the conditions there are better and the environment is stronger than here, I suddenly felt eager to move.
She really didn't want to waste the planting room, so she discussed with Hou Sen whether she could cultivate a large number of plant seedlings and send them to Gaojiang District for planting together with this batch of bamboo.
Since pure humans in Gaojiang District can already grow S-level seedlings, caring for them shouldn't be a big problem. Furthermore, with so many researchers, even without pure human care, the plants can still grow naturally under the conditions of the cultivation room. It's just a matter of speed.
If another dozen or so growing rooms could be put into use directly, the plant output would definitely increase greatly.
But the most important thing is Ye Ning.
Hou Sen thought about it seriously, squatted down and looked at Ye Ning, and asked, "Do you want to go to Gaojiang District?"
"Gaojiang District is about a day's journey from here by aircraft. Once you're there, I'll arrange for someone to ensure you don't show up in Gaojiang District. When the planting room is operational, you can simply plant directly inside. After planting, you can play around in Gaojiang District and come back after a few days. It won't take a long time to go back and forth."
"Gaojiang District and Xisha District are very different. You're still young, so you should go out more often. There's no need to stay in the planting room all day."
Hou Sen was still thinking about the last time Ye Ning said she wanted to go out and play. But after that time, she didn't go out again for a long time.
He wanted her to go out and play, but the Xisha area was so run-down and shabby that there wasn't much to do outside. Plus, it was rainy season, and going out was always a risk of getting swept away by a sandstorm. In this awful weather, it was better to stay in the plantation.
"You haven't revealed your face to the public yet. Even if someone guessed that there was a new plant therapist in Gaojiang District, they wouldn't guess it was you. So as long as you keep it hidden, it's relatively safe for you to stay in Gaojiang District for a few days."
Besides, Ye Ning was so young. Even if he said in person that she had grown those plants, no one would believe him.
Age has become her best cover.
"I can arrange for Hou Lin to go with you. Although he's not very smart, he's still capable."
The Gaojiang District is basically inhabited by primate orcs. They are more united and more consistent in facing the outside world than other districts. Their security is relatively much higher than that of the Xisha District.
It has to be said that Hou Sen’s proposal made Ye Ning excited.
She germinated the seedlings by having them send them over, and she germinated them directly in the planting room and took care of them for a period of time. The results would definitely be very different.
Besides, she really wanted to go out and take a look.
Hou Sen was right. She had never shown her face and was still a child. Even if people guessed that there was a very talented plant therapist, they would never connect her to it.
However, Ye Ning couldn't help but ask, "Can I take Feng Qi with me?"
Feng Qi had been on rainy season leave for the past few days, so she had some free time. Feng Jin had returned from a mission these past two days, so she went home, but would come back in the evening. If she could go out, she would really like to take Feng Qi with her.
She had never been outside, and neither had Feng Qi. Seeing more of the outside world would definitely be beneficial.
Hou Sen nodded without hesitation, "Of course. If the Xisha District is worried, we can send someone to follow you."
He knew that Ye Ning liked Feng Qi very much. He had met Feng Qi several times and thought she was a pretty good little cub.
"But the Empire has always wanted to know your whereabouts. They discovered you through Feng Qi. If you want to take her with you, it's best to give her a new identity."
Worried that Ye Ning would feel psychologically stressed, Hou Sen continued, "Just think of it as a place to have fun and relax. Don't feel any pressure. I'll take care of the rest."
"When you're done playing, come back. We're all waiting for you here."
Ye Ning nodded and couldn't help but run over and hug Hou Sen, "Teacher, you are so kind!"
Hou Sen patted her back gently, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
When Hou Sen negotiated with He Yang, He Yang agreed without any hesitation.
The speed was so fast that even Hou Sen was a little surprised.
The mining field has been open for many years, and no serious criminals have ever escaped from prison. But this time, someone colluded with them from inside and outside, creating chaos and allowing those serious criminals to escape.
Although they launched a manhunt immediately, two S-level criminals have not been caught so far.
She had already sent Long Qi to chase the person early in the morning, but it was always unsafe for the serious criminals to be outside, not to mention that there were people who were supporting them.
Moreover, Ye Ning had always been taken care of more by Hou Sen and his group, and the environment in the Xisha area was terrible. She was already very grateful that Ye Ning was willing to stay here and help them plant plants. Now that Ye Ning wanted to go somewhere else to play, and wanted to take Feng Qi with her, she naturally had no reason to agree.
Gaojiang District and Xisha District are completely different, and it is indeed beneficial to visit Gaojiang District.
When Feng Qi came back in the evening, Ye Ning told her about it and she immediately agreed.
Feng Qi has never left Xisha District. She has only seen Gaojiang District on the Internet, but has never seen it in person.
When she heard that Ye Ning was going and wanted to take her with her, she immediately agreed happily.
She'll probably be gone for a week, so the only problem now is the Welwitschia plant outside.
Although there was still no sign of it taking root, Ye Ning discovered that the time she would be in a near-death state was gradually increasing.
In other words, it has become more and more adapted to the outside environment, and Ye Ning is full of confidence in it!
The night before leaving, Ye Ning carefully entrusted the Baisuilan to Bai Qing and told her in detail various precautions.
Bai Qing recorded everything in great detail, pushing his glasses and nodding from time to time.
She had been observing the condition of the plant, and after so many days, she found that Ye Ning was very clever in taking care of it every time.
They were almost dying, but after being taken care of by her, they were able to survive.
Although Ye Ning would go out to water it and add nutrient solution, the time of day was actually not fixed, and the frequency of the intervals was also not fixed.
At first, she thought Ye Ning went out to take a look because she remembered, but after analyzing the data in detail, she found that every time Ye Ning went out, she was at the lowest point of the life fluctuation of the Centella asiatica.
If you observe the life growth chart of Welwitschia, you will find that it is like a wave, constantly falling and rising.
And there was nothing special about the way she took care of the plants. She didn't even use the green stone anymore. She just watered the plants, loosened the soil occasionally, and added some nutrient solution.
Bai Qing really couldn't understand why the plant could survive outside with such simple care.
And once Ye Ning left, she was the one who took care of the plants herself. This was completely different from taking care of the plants in the growing room, and Bai Qing felt a little uneasy.
After she expressed her problems and concerns.
Ye Ning thought for a moment and said, "In fact, plants are very tenacious. They are also working hard to find ways to grow and survive."
"You are such a professional. I believe you can take good care of it."
"If you have any questions, tell me again. I have telepathy with it. I'll tell you what it's missing."
Bai Qing nodded, and his expression changed from awkward to serious.
Before Ye Ning left, for fear of delaying the planting progress here, she temporarily cultivated a batch of new seeds for everyone.
The researchers were very excited when they knew that Ye Ning was going to Gaojiang District, especially after they smelled the scent of golden monkey orcs that Ye Ning had specially sprayed on her.
Everyone chatted with Ye Ning about several places, telling her to visit them if she had time. Someone even made a travel guide for her and repeatedly told Hou Lin to take her on a good tour of Gaojiang District.
Although she will come back, what if she thinks Gaojiang District is a good place and wants to stay there when she grows up?
She is still young and has plenty of time to make her own choices. Now is a good time for Gaojiang District to perform well.
It was not until Hou Sen made the proposal that their admiration for him increased a lot. Professor Hou was really far-sighted.
Everyone was talking at once, and Hou Lin was dizzy with their talk, so he interrupted them directly, "Alright, alright, don't worry, I will directly hire a top-notch tour guide for her when the time comes, and he will definitely be more professional than you."
Gaojiang District has some special landforms, which are worth seeing.
After hearing what he said, the researchers finally quieted down.
Ye Ning thought about her own small vegetable patch and said, "The potatoes and tomatoes I planted should be ripe in the next two days. You can pick them and eat them first, otherwise they will rot."
The researchers didn't feel comfortable eating those things while she was away, so they said they would preserve them well after harvesting and eat them when she came back.
Ye Ning smiled and said, "It won't be fresh by then. You can try the ones that have just been picked."
This time, He Yang specially arranged for Le Song to follow Ye Ning. Gu Yu was from the Tiger Clan, which was too conspicuous, and Shao Yu and Shao Yu were going on a mission. But the most important thing was that Le Song was from the Dog Clan and looked more friendly.
Among all types of orcs, the dog tribe is the easiest to make people feel good about.
Ye Fengqi also transformed into a dog. Her current identity is Le Song's sister.
She also knew that Ye Ning was discovered because of her bubble water, so she agreed to change her identity without any hesitation.
And she is quite satisfied with her new identity.
Their identities were fabricated by Gaojiang District. While forging identities might be difficult for an individual, it was a piece of cake for the leadership of Gaojiang District.
Several people wearing protective suits and masks followed Hou Lin, and there was nothing unusual about their appearance.
Feng Qi was carrying a small schoolbag and holding Ye Ning's hand tightly.
She told her mother that she was going to Gaojiang District, and her mother told her to protect her younger sister well.
Feng Qi was nervous and excited. She had never left the Xisha area, nor had she ever been on a large aircraft. Like her, most people in the Xisha area had never been outside.
She secretly asked Brother Lesong in the morning, and Brother Lesong also said that he had never left here.
In this case, it was the first time for all three of them to travel far away!
Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way. When they were about to board the aircraft, Hou Lin said something to them, but everyone immediately moved away and made way for them an exclusive secret passage.
Moreover, Gaojiang District has its own dedicated aircraft take-off and landing site, so they don’t need to go to the messy flight port.
Everything went very smoothly.
There weren't many of them and they didn't attract anyone's attention at all.
After getting on the aircraft, the three of them were a little curious.
Hou Lin knew that they had never met before, so he introduced them to each other.
"This aircraft belongs exclusively to Professor Hou. If you and Feng Qi want to rest, you can rest in his room. Le Song will guard your door, and I will guard the second door to make sure no one comes in."
"It has an intelligent system that allows you to adjust the ambient light however you want."
Hou Lin pointed outside and said, "We will pass over the pollutants soon. You can take a look if you are curious, but pollutants usually do not appear during the day."
"Brother Hou Lin, there is a window here. Can I see outside from here?" Feng Qi asked curiously, looking at the window frame that looked like a window but was completely black.
Hou Lin felt comfortable when she called him brother. He operated the window casually and it immediately turned into a transparent panoramic window.
The next second, everyone saw that there was still a violent storm outside, with lightning and thunder.
They seemed to have risen into the clouds and could even see the clouds rolling and surging not far away.
Ye Ning and Feng Qi stood behind the glass and felt a little scared when looking at the scenery outside.
"Boom—"
A super thick bolt of lightning struck directly in front of them, as if it was going to strike them!
Both of them took a few steps back quickly as if by reflex, their hearts starting to beat wildly.
Le Song quickly stood behind them and supported their shoulders. "It's okay, it's okay. This kind of weather won't affect the aircraft."
Everyone has become accustomed to this kind of extreme weather. Although Le Song has never been out, he has patrolled the flight port and has experienced more terrifying situations than this. This kind of weather is actually just as severe as in the rainy season.
Ye Ning nodded, looked for a while, and then went to the room to rest with Feng Qi.
It takes them about 10 hours to fly to Gaojiang District.
The aircraft is moving quite fast and it seems to pass through two areas in the middle.
Hou Sen's room is very clean and tidy, without any unnecessary things.
Feng Qi sat on the sofa in the room, looking around, feeling a little uneasy. "Sister, are you nervous?"
Ye Ning shook her head and asked softly, "Are you feeling nervous now?"
Feng Qi nodded and said a little embarrassedly, "After all, this is my first time traveling far away."
"When we get to Gaojiang District, if I don't behave well, you must remind me. I'm afraid that I'll expose your identity and cause you trouble."
Feng Qi didn't think about these things at first, but after coming up and looking at the luxurious aircraft, he couldn't help but think about them. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became that he would not perform well.
Ye Ning found it a little funny. She rubbed Feng Qi's hand. Her hand was also chubby, and felt soft and warm.
"Don't worry about that. We're just going there for fun. If we haven't seen it before, then we haven't seen it before. This is our first time there anyway."
"You won't cause me any trouble. You still have to protect me."
After hearing what Ye Ning said, Feng Qi nodded solemnly.
After losing the last strength competition, she went to ask Xiong Yi for advice.
Xiong Yi is really hardworking. He moves big rocks every day to exercise his strength. She followed him for a while and now she is much stronger.
Feng Qi patted the muscles on his arms and said, "Don't worry, sister. The primate beastman is definitely not as strong as me. I will protect you!"
Ye Ning rubbed her and said, "Do you want to take a rest first? You didn't sleep much last night."
Feng Qi didn't notice it until she said it, but once she did, Feng Qi really felt a little sleepy. She was so excited that she fell asleep very late yesterday and woke up very early in the morning.
Feng Qi nodded and went to bed to sleep.
Ye Ning listened to her breathing, tidied the quilt for her, then sat down next to her and started looking at the information.
In fact, if she wants to plant it outdoors, she can start with some epiphytes.
For example, mosses and lichens.
Mosses can grow on rocks and very poor soils. When they grow, they are conducive to the growth of microorganisms, and after they degrade, they can improve the quality of the soil.
Mosses are much easier to grow than other higher plants. However, although they have strong adaptability to the environment, they grow very slowly and are very afraid of polluting the environment.
Lichens, a symbiotic complex of algae and fungi, can withstand long periods of drought and extreme cold. They typically emerge after a heavy rain. According to research, they can grow in deserts, on rocks, and even on frozen soil.
These are plants that can improve the soil environment and water conditions. Planting them first will be more conducive to the growth of other plants.
Gaojiang District is already synthesizing the seeds of these two, and once she arrives, they can start planting directly.
The climate in Gaojiang District is much better than that in Xisha District, and the pollution level is also lower, so it should be easier to grow mosses and lichens.
Ye Ning finished reading the information and glanced at her information column again.
【Character: Ye Ning
Level: Lv.25 (10720/11585)
Gold: 19800
Planting Planet: L25 Dust Star
Current pollution absorption progress: 2.13234235%
The rewards for pollution progress are more substantial, and she no longer has to worry about not having enough gold coins.

In the heavy rain.
The heavy rain poured down, almost blurring the entire street.
Relying on biometric information, Long Qi quickly identified the two escaped serious criminals.
He shuttled through the rain, rapidly approaching a person who was fleeing separately.
The serious criminal actually had a gun in his hand. As Long Qi continued to approach, even if the serious criminal did not look back, he could feel the trembling, terror and extreme sense of danger rising from his back.
He kept firing backwards, but every shot seemed to hit the air and had no effect on Long Qi.
It’s getting closer and closer, he will soon be caught up by the Emperor Dragon!
He gritted his teeth and even injected himself with a potion to increase his speed again.
His forced increase in speed didn't allow him to create any gap between him and Long Qi. He was clearly also an S-class orc, but in front of Emperor Long, he seemed so useless!
Looking up, he saw the child not far away. A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and he was about to drive in that direction with his gun.
He would take someone with him even if he died!
But the next second, when he raised his hand slightly, Long Qi directly twisted his limbs off -
“Ahhhhhhhhh—”
The painful howls instantly resounded throughout the street.
Long Qi walked over, kicked the gun away, and then raised his foot to crush his hand bones.
He didn't say a word, but the serious criminal saw it in his burning red eyes and knew what he wanted to do!
The criminal on serious criminal charges curled up in agony and twisted posture, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging on his forehead.
"Do you think they will thank you? They will kill you sooner or later, monster, you monster!!" He looked up angrily, trying to see the expression on Long Qi's face at this moment, but the rain hit him heavily, completely blurring his vision.
At this time, Long Qi raised his hand expressionlessly and directly shot to death another serious criminal who was trying to hurt others.
When the others arrived, they saw the paralyzed criminal cursing wildly on the ground, and Long Qi's back as he left in the distance.
They glanced around and immediately found the body of another serious criminal, and everyone started to clean up.
After completing the mission, Long Qi went straight back to his residence.
but--
When he reached the door, he suddenly looked up and looked at the three planting rooms.
A hint of coldness flashed between his eyebrows.
The person is missing——
