Chapter 40 Old Man Security Team



Xiao Bai has been very busy these days, extremely busy. She is busy with classes, patrolling, practicing, and stocking up. She is so busy that she doesn't even have time to look at the handsome Murong An at home.

Yes, stock up.

Xiao Bai has been home for a long time, but she never thought about stocking up before. Xiao Bai is essentially an ordinary person with a bit of a lazy nature. When encountering unexpected things, she may be panicked, entangled and upset, but her emotions come and go quickly. After that, she will do what needs to be done. She is a person of action - only solving the current problems. She worries as little as possible and struggles as little as possible. As long as no one forces her to work hard, she hopes to lie down and be an ordinary lazy person forever. This is why after the asteroid hit the blue planet, after a period of nervous panic, she immediately packed up and went home as soon as she received the recall message from the village. Hey, even if the blue planet is about to be destroyed, there is nothing she can do as a small shrimp. It is better to find a familiar place to survive as long as possible.

With this mindset, even when she encountered a dark matter-contaminated human in the city, she only addressed the immediate problem—throwing them into the river. As for the aftermath, would she call the police? What if they fell into the river? Sorry, an asteroid is hitting the planet, who cares if a madman falls into the river?! Besides, she was acting in self-defense!

Because of this powerful self-soothing quality, when she returned home and discovered her increased strength and the strange abilities of her pets, she only felt a slight initial nervousness and turmoil before continuing to calmly lie down: Hey, an asteroid has hit the blue planet. It's a little weird, so what? I'll just live one day at a time. After all, she's just a nobody. Faced with this sudden situation, what else can she do but accept it? Of course she accepts it! Since she has to accept it anyway, sooner or later, accept it with sadness or joy, why should she accept it with displeasure? As a salted fish, she should just stop making things difficult for herself.

But Xiao Bai had never expected the village chief to ask them to rise up! It's all tears!

Xiao Bai had not planned to stock up too many goods before. After all, judging from the current situation, this was a revival of spiritual energy rather than doomsday or a natural disaster, and supplies did not seem to be so scarce. Moreover, under the influence of the spiritual core, the biological speed of plants was many times faster than before. The plants that were originally planted would soon bloom and bear fruit. The most amazing thing was the pomegranate tree in front of her house. It suddenly bloomed and withered overnight, and produced small fruits the next day. The fruit matured in just three days.

Xiao Bai was shocked by the pomegranate tree for a long time, and it also made Xiao Bai pay attention to the plants in the yard that she had always ignored.

Xiao Bai's family has a large yard with two plots of land in front of the yard. Xiao's mother grows a lot of vegetables on these lands, so when they want to eat vegetables, they just have to pick them in the yard.

Xiao Bai had never paid much attention to these vegetables until something obviously abnormal happened to the pomegranate tree in the yard.

Xiao Bai picked a pomegranate, peeled it open, and tasted it. He found that this pomegranate, which had suddenly grown and matured, was much sweeter than the pomegranates that had matured naturally in previous years. Because the pomegranates in the past had not been grafted and the variety was also very ordinary, the pomegranate seeds were not very sweet or large, and they were small pomegranates with a more sour and sweet taste. But the pomegranates now were not only large and thin-skinned, but also had red and crystal clear seeds. They tasted very sweet and had a fresh pomegranate fragrance.

My pomegranate is amazing! It suddenly underwent a genetic mutation. So, will this spiritual energy revival also cause genetic mutations in plants?!

If plant gene mutations can make previously unpalatable fruits taste good, could they also make previously delicious fruits taste bad? If plant gene mutations occur on a large scale, would many previously delicious fruits also change?

Concerned, Xiao Bai carefully inspected the various vegetables planted in the yard. Sure enough, he discovered that, in addition to the benign mutations seen in most plants, some had become incredibly unpalatable. For example, the mint he planted in the yard for tea had previously been refreshing and cool, but now, a single leaf could brew a cup of tea with a strong, cooling, oily flavor that was completely unpalatable! It was like a biological weapon, sending Lai Fu and the others sneezing and forcing them to flee. Even the calico cat, which had been sunbathing on the wall, ran away in disgust.

The coolness and flavor of mint are amplified countless times!

Concerned, Xiao Bai cautiously asked the village chief again. When he learned that the village chief had already sent someone to buy supplies when he first called everyone back, Xiao Bai said bluntly, "As expected, the old ones are the wisest!

So Xiao Bai also started a shopping spree. What is money for? It's for spending! Hurry up and buy more things now. Who knows if the money will depreciate in the future?

In addition, the village has also undergone tremendous changes. The village chief began to build a large number of warehouses in the village. He also built a super large square on the riverside at the outermost part of the center of the village, and built a house next to the square. It is said that it is for temporary accommodation of the security team and night patrol personnel.

Every day, there is an unfamiliar security team guarding the square in the village. The team is not large, only two or three people, and they wear yellow armbands on their arms. As long as strange strangers come to the village or crazy animals appear, they must report to the security team.

Xiao Bai had met members of the security team on her way to and from school. If they hadn't all been wearing conspicuous yellow armbands, she would have almost thought they were a group of people coming to the square to dance - after all, who has ever seen a security team whose age was all over fifty?

At such an old age, they all either hold a thermos cup of soaked wolfberries in their hands, or rub a skewer of wolfberries on their faces and play with it, or cough and pound their waists.
