Chapter 131 The Hot Brain Core
Three tents were set up on the roof of the tallest building in Huichang.
The Fire Dragon Team refused to live on the rooftop and found a room downstairs. They planned to sleep downstairs after dinner.
Guozi took something out of the space and said, "Now it's time to show it to us, right?"
"No problem, just watch carefully! Don't blink!" Yin Shang looked mysterious and did not reveal the answer directly, but snapped his fingers.
The crisp snap of fingers attracted everyone's attention.
Lu Nan looked at the members of the Fire Dragon Team. "Freshly picked vegetables"—these four words sounded incredibly tempting!
"This old guy is really good at keeping us in suspense," Li Zhen said in a low voice.
"Let's wait and see!" There were some fresh vegetables in Tian Yao and Guozi's space, but they were consumables and would be gone once eaten. If they wanted to eat them, they had to wait for them to be grown. However, it was difficult for them to even stay in one place, and it was impossible for them to cultivate the land.
The wood-type psychic from the Fire Dragon team even bowed slightly to the people around them: "Excuse me for the performance!"
Liu Xujiang whistled in agreement: "Everyone is getting anxious to death."
"Don't be anxious!" The Fire Dragon Team used their spatial ability to take out a large water jar with soil and placed it on the ground. He took out a small shovel, dug small holes in the soil of the water jar, and scattered a few seeds in them.
"They put seeds for green peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and bok choy. Aren't they planning to plant them right here?" Li Zhen recognized the seeds the space-age psychic had planted in the water tank. "If we wait until they're finished, how long will it take to eat them?"
Yin Shang said with a smile: "Right away!"
Ready to eat? How could that be possible? But Yin Shang's confident look didn't seem like a lie. Everyone was waiting to eat the freshly picked vegetables they'd promised, so there was no need for them to play tricks on the people here.
After Yin Shang finished speaking, the wood-type mutant stepped forward and pressed his hands into the soil of the water tank.
A miracle visible to the naked eye!
Tender green seedlings emerged from the soil.
Guozi was surprised and said, "How amazing! Is he a wood element or an earth element?"
Li Zhendao: "He is a wood element, as I remember."
The seedlings grew into plants, grew taller, formed buds, blossomed, and then bore fruit! Emerald green peppers, bright, tempting tomatoes, clumps of crisp, tender bok choy, and cucumber vines spread across the ground. The prickly cucumbers grew from the size of a fingertip to the size of a child's arm in an instant. Potatoes, though invisible, were definitely there.
"Isn't it amazing?" Hou Chao went to look at the vegetables in the water tank. Guo Zi even went over to smell them to see if they were real plants.
Tian Yao looked at Bai Nana, and Duan Lei suppressed a smile: "Bai Nana, why don't you try it later?"
Bai Nana had already been captivated by the wood-type girl growing vegetables on the spot and couldn't take her eyes off her. "I absolutely have to try it. I haven't had a face mask in ages!"
"Applause!" Lu Nan led the applause: "Captain Yin, thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that wood-type abilities could be used like this!"
"What are you thanking me for?" Yin Shang touched his rumbling stomach and said embarrassedly, "I'm craving barbecue!"
Guozi took out a bunch of boxed steaks and said, "Let's start right now! You guys just shocked me with that move!"
"That's amazing! With this method, as long as the team has wood-type abilities, why would they even need to farm? Just build a water tank, a bathtub, or something like that and fill it with soil, just like you guys do!"
"I discovered it by accident," the Wood-type psychic pointed at a fellow in their group. "That fellow is an Earth-type psychic. He keeps talking about eating fresh vegetables. We just thought about it, and hey! It actually worked!"
"This method can be applied at the base. If so, collecting seeds will become popular again." Ye Zhen thought of the giant pumpkin. "I guess seeds aren't that easy to collect after all."
Lu Su said distressedly: "I just lost half of my seed!"
"It's not necessarily impossible to collect seeds from all seed banks," Lu Nan said, "Include seed collection in your plan!"
Yin Shang raised his hand high: "We want to collect too!"
Guozi looked at Tian Yao, but Tian Yao didn't say anything: "Yao, what about us?"
Tian Yao said: "As for us, we should be a little more Buddhist! That is to say, let it be as it comes!"
Hearing this, Guozi chuckled, "Okay!"
So this is a promise to be a Buddhist? Lu Nan didn't believe Tian Yao would really be a Buddhist! He was very curious about what else Tian Yao and her team had hidden: "We don't want the brain core just now either!"
Hou Chao squatted on the side and helped grill the meat: "You don't have the final say."
Tian Yao patted the fruit and said, "The brain cores we just got are divided into five parts. Captain Yin and I will each take two. As there are three of them, we will get one since there are fewer people. Ask Bai Jie to deliver it to them."
Yin Shang immediately said, "We don't want it either! We didn't put in any effort, so we don't deserve it!"
Hou Chao was grilling meat without looking up: "You have no final say in matters like this!" The implication was that Tian Yao had the final say.
"Hey! We're walking together to the base. We're not partners, but companions. You've helped us take care of the wounded. How can you say you didn't contribute?" Guozi divided the brain core into five parts, giving two-fifths to Yin Shang: "Give it to your teammates. You'll have plenty of brain cores after killing zombies along the way."
"I feel so unworthy!" Yin Shang looked at the handful of brain cores in his hand and only took half. "We took so many! This is not a courtesy! Don't make us feel uncomfortable."
Two-fifths of the fruit were stored in the space, and one-fifth was given to Bai Jie: "This is for your family! If they don't want it, we won't take it back!"
Bai Jie held the brain core in front of Lu Nan and said, "Brother Nan, you are my family! Take it! Don't think it's too little!"
Lu Nan said, "How can you think it's too little? There's room at Old Lu's place, but I don't have room to accept it!"
Yin Shang knew it was hot? He didn’t know?
"Thank you!" Ye Zhen knew what Lu Nan was thinking! He also knew that Hou Chao and the others had deliberately embarrassed Lu Nan with the giant pumpkin, but since they had no ill intentions, they couldn't say anything. Who had asked Lu Nan to say such nonsense and upset Deputy Captain Tian?
He thanked him and took the brain core.
"You're being polite to me? You're being distant with me? Back at the base, I'm still a member of the base. Even if you don't recognize me, I'm your family member in the base. Now you're my family member," Bai Jie returned to his teammates. "Don't put yourselves in the position of outsiders. Family members are not outsiders!"
Guozi hooked his arm around Bai Jie's shoulder and said, "That's right! You are his family members, not outsiders to us. If you treat yourselves as outsiders, no one will treat you as their own! Don't blame others for not taking you seriously."
Yin Shang smiled and said, "We were rescued by you, so we are not outsiders! So I won't be polite. Come on, two more pieces of barbecue!"
Hou Chao picked up two pieces of steak and gave them to him: "In this world, being able to walk together alive is a kind of fate."
