Chapter 41: Romanticizing Natural Phenomena
The crackling sound of rain hitting the greenhouse was particularly noisy, especially for those with sensitive hearing.
Lin Mian didn't care about this worry at this time. He was in a very happy mood.
Just now, they found a vegetable planting base. Although many of the vegetables were dying because no one was taking care of them,
But because the base is large, the total number of survivors is still considerable.
Lin Mian’s space has already stored quite a lot of food. Although they are not in the freshest state, they are already very good and much better than those dehydrated vegetables.
The variety of vegetables grown at this base is quite rich, with a little bit from each season. However, because no one takes care of them, some out-of-season vegetables survive less, and there are more seasonal vegetables that are suitable for the current growing environment.
In addition to fresh vegetables, they also found a lot of vegetable seeds in the base, with a richer variety. Lin Mian took some of them. Perhaps when he has the chance in the future, he can try to grow some by himself.
Now that there are vegetables and meat in the space, they can eat more abundantly and no longer have to rely on fast food.
With a creak, the door of the greenhouse was opened and Jiang Jie walked in from outside, damp all over. He threw the umbrella in his hand aside and it bumped into the one Lin Mian had put down earlier.
"How's the collection?" He walked up to the man.
Lin Mian, who was squatting on the ground, stood up and said, "Well, the harvest in this area is almost done."
Jiang Jie glanced around a few times. All that was left were some wilted vegetables. He looked away and handed over a few crystals in his hand. "Replenish your energy."
There are quite a few alienated objects in such a large vegetable base. He just went over to clean it up. Although the C-level crystals are not as effective on them as the B-level ones, they are better than nothing and can even charge the little rabbits.
After the evolution, Lin Mian's supernatural energy is much more abundant than before, and he doesn't need to replenish it so frequently. He has harvested several greenhouses in succession, and it has not been completely exhausted yet, but it will be soon.
He took the crystal and put it in his pocket to save for later use.
"Let's go. There are a few relatively intact greenhouses in the east." Jiang Yan had checked them while cleaning up the alien objects just now.
It just so happened that everything here was almost cleaned up, so Lin Mian followed him out.
He stretched out his hand outside the umbrella to catch a few raindrops. He felt that the rain seemed to be lighter than before. It seemed that the rain would stop today.
He withdrew his hand and continued to follow Jiang Jie who was walking in front.
By the time they finished their search and were about to leave, the rain had indeed become visibly milder.
The sound of rain also became softer and less noisy.
Such gentle breeze and drizzle have much less impact on driving, the vision is clearer, and Jiang Jie increased the speed while driving.
The rain had not stopped completely, but the sun had already come out impatiently, so a rainbow appeared in the distant sky.
The rare sight made Lin Mian lean forward and said, "Brother Ji, it's a rainbow."
Jiang Jie had already seen it, and after hearing his sharing, he nodded.
"That's great." Lin Mian narrowed his eyes. "Don't many people say that seeing a rainbow brings good luck?"
It is just a way of giving romance to natural phenomena, but it also gives people some beautiful imaginations.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan seemed to be infected by his simple happiness and raised his lips, "Then we are quite lucky."

In the deep night, the RV was parked in the silent and deserted wilderness. The night sky was full of twinkling stars and the moon was full.
A dim warm light shone through the car window, enveloping the interior in a warm atmosphere.
The faint whimpering sound was particularly obvious in the silent space, like a small animal, making people feel soft in the heart.
The pink fingertips tightly grasped the cloth beside them, wrinkling a small piece, which was wilted and looked as pitiful as the owner of the hand.
Jiang Yan finally showed mercy and let go of the poor rabbit in his arms. He lowered his head close to his ear, said something teasingly, and chuckled twice.
Lin Mian shrank his head, and his arm slipped from the edge of the bed and hung down softly. In the dim light of the camping lamp, he could see the "red plum" blooming on it.
He turned his head and opened his lips to breathe deeply like a stranded fish. He had no time to pay attention to the teasing of the man behind him. He was just secretly glad that he had saved his life.
They have been running around searching for supplies these days, and now the space has common livestock such as cattle, sheep, and chickens.
The animals that needed to be slaughtered were slaughtered, and the animals that needed to be put away were put away. The originally empty space gradually filled up, and it was like a walking supermarket.
Because of all this busyness, the man hadn't touched him for several days. Today, he finally got the chance. From dusk to late at night, Lin Mian felt that his body was drained.
At one point, he even hoped that a few mutants would come to divert the man's attention and prevent him from focusing all his energy on himself.
Unfortunately, those strange beasts are so sensible that none of them appeared.
Jiang Yan lowered his head and kissed his shoulder blade, then reached out to brush away the sweaty hair on his cheek, kissed his face again, and covered himself with him, hugging him tenderly.
"Brother Ji," Linmian's voice softened with weakness, sounding like a spoiled child, "You're so heavy..."
Jiang Jie, who was deliberately doing mischief, let out a muffled laugh, turned over and lay on his back on the bed, and at the same time hugged the person over and held him in his arms.
Lin Mian's cheek was pressed against his chest, her eyes half closed, feeling a little sleepy. After awakening, her physical fitness had improved a little, but it was indeed not as energetic as a man.
Half asleep and half awake, I was suddenly startled open my eyes by a loud noise coming from a distance.
Jiang Jie gently stroked his back, his expression slightly gloomy.
The noise just now was like something huge falling from mid-air. If I heard correctly, there seemed to be the sound of a propeller before that.
He was still guessing when a bird's cry came from afar. It was an alien creature.
Jiang Jie felt that his guess was probably correct. A passing helicopter was attacked by an alien creature.
The people who can use something like a helicopter at this time are most likely official people.
"Brother Jie..." Lin Mian raised his head slightly from his arms and pricked up his ears to distinguish. "It seems like a fight has started, and they are moving in our direction."
It was quite a big noise.
Jiang Jie helped him sit up, got off the bed and put his clothes on, saying, "Put on your clothes. I'll get off the car and check the situation."
Lin Mian hugged the blanket and nodded. He watched him get dressed and turn to leave. He sighed. He didn't come when he should have, but came when he shouldn't have.
Jiang Jie opened the door and got out of the RV, looking in the distance in the direction where the noise came from.
Suddenly there was an explosion, accompanied by flames shooting up into the sky. It seemed that the helicopter had exploded.
The survivors on top were fighting and retreating, and their escape direction was exactly towards them. They were able to survive the crash and resist the alien creatures, so they must be people with superpowers.
Judging from the noise, there seem to be at least two more. There's no need to run when facing just one mutant.
Unless... that wasn't a C-class mutant, and they were protecting an ordinary person.
Jiang Jie raised his hands and clasped them across his chest, tapping his fingers. They were getting closer and closer, so he walked over there.
In the distance, thunder and fire appeared in the sight, colliding with each other and exploding with a "bang", which was very conspicuous in the night.
The mutant let out a sharp long cry, flapped its wings, and another bolt of lightning struck down. One of them raised his hand to hold up the water shield and barely managed to withstand it.
Flames followed one after another, attacking the wings of the alien creature.
The alien creature was keenly aware of the situation, flipped sideways, and dodged nimbly.
Two people protected one person and took the opportunity to continue to escape.
"Captain, it seems like there are other people coming up ahead!"
The young man, wearing camouflage combat uniform and holding a person in his hand, spoke while running.
The situation just now was so chaotic that they didn't realize there were other people nearby.
Before the person he called captain could say anything, the alien creature in the air let out a cry and suddenly stopped, as if it was a little afraid to chase.
They didn't know what was going on, but they quickly distanced themselves from the other side. The captain shouted at the same time, "Don't come over, it's dangerous!"
He was not sure what the person coming over was trying to do. At this distance, he should be able to detect any movement here.
Jiang Jie, who was already close, didn't care what he was saying at all. His attention was more on the alien creature.
Seeing that the other party hesitated, flapped its wings and turned to retreat, he waved his hand and a jet of water shot out. The speed was so fast that it didn't give the other party a chance to react and dodge, and it hit the base of its wings directly.
The body of the alien creature tilted in mid-air and fell down a lot.
The following water flow directly wrapped around its claws, pulling it back.
The alien creature screamed, ignoring the pain, and flapped its wings violently, trying to break free from the power that bound it.
Jiang Jie watched it thrashing and struggling, then turned his gaze to the three people who had already run up to him.
Two of them were wearing combat uniforms. One looked to be in his early twenties, and the other was probably in his thirties. They both had straight builds and were obviously soldiers.
The person they were protecting was a middle-aged man in a white coat. He was not good-looking and was holding a metal box tightly in his arms.
Researchers? Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows.
"Oh my god, what's going on?!" The younger soldier stopped and turned around, looking at the alien creature in mid-air, trapped by the water flow, struggling to escape but unable to escape. Then he turned to Jiang Jie, "Did you do this?"
The other one was much more steady. He didn't say anything, but just looked Jiang Jie up and down calmly, his eyes showing a sharpness.
Jiang Jie didn't say anything either. After almost confirming their identities, he looked away and looked at the alien creature in the air.
The other party was obviously getting anxious at this moment. He turned towards them and with a long roar, lightning that was even thicker than before struck them.
The two soldiers reacted quickly and raised their hands at the same time, but before their special powers could condense, their heads were covered by a water shield.
When the lightning struck, it was like hitting a calm surface of water, only spreading a few strands of electricity without causing any harm.
The young soldier, who was also a water-type psychic, suddenly turned around and looked at him. This man...
Jiang Jie's eyes were still fixed on the alien creature struggling in vain in the air. He really refused to give up.
With a hook of his finger, the water flow suddenly tightened, pulling the alien object backwards and tearing off a large piece of it.
It let out a long cry and spit out a ball of electricity from its mouth, heading straight for Jiang Jie, the culprit.
Jiang Jie flicked his fingertips and the water ball flew out. It wrapped around the electric ball when it hit it, and then hit it back violently.
After the mutant's head was soaked, it was electrocuted by its own attack, doubling the power, and fell to the ground dizzy.
"Wow, that's awesome!" The young soldier couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Jiang Yan glanced at him sideways.
He had seen the other party use a shield before. As official personnel, they have developed their superpowers quite well at this stage and know how to adapt. They are much stronger than ordinary superpower users.
They must have been able to survive the crashed helicopter almost intact thanks to his water-based abilities.
If he hadn't been unlucky enough to encounter this rather powerful B-level mutant, he wouldn't be in such a mess.
