Chapter 224 Farmer's Life
Who will replace the system tower before Xing Min?
You Xi could vaguely guess the answer even if Xing Min didn't continue.
She just didn't expect that the system tower could be replaced.
Outside the bedroom window, a group of giant fluorescent butterflies slowly flew by. Each of them had a normal human head size, and they flapped their wings gracefully. From time to time, fine fluorescent powder fell from them.
They fell one by one in the dim light of dawn, and finally gathered above the huge tree canopy, like a cluster of fluorescent lights, which was particularly eye-catching.
They were originally a vulnerable group in the dense forest. Mantises, spiders, birds, snakes, ants... were all their natural enemies. But now, these animals kept their distance from the group of fluorescent butterflies.
Youxi guessed that this was because the fluorescent dust on their bodies was poisonous, which made them escape the fate of being at the bottom of the food chain.
In the distance of the dense forest, there was a roar of tigers, accompanied by the terrifying roar of some animals before dying.
This sound startled a group of golden monkeys that had been staying on the treetops. They rushed to jump from the treetops. The moment they soared into the air, their forelimbs opened, and a thin membrane appeared between their forelimbs and bodies, allowing them to glide forward with the wind at the top of the tree.
They glided lightly between the treetops at intervals, and soon they were far away from the dangerous fighting area. You know, the claws of the Northeast Tiger have changed, and they can climb trees as fast as monkeys...
It was another busy day outside. Youxi stood in front of the window and stretched his limbs, changed into a light sportswear, and went to the terrace for his daily morning exercise.
Most of the vegetables in the automatic planting glass wall have grown and matured.
Juicy lettuce, Chinese cabbage, greens, spinach, and asparagus are green and lovely. Eggplant, loofah, cucumber, zucchini, lantern pepper, and red tomatoes are hanging between the stems and leaves waiting to be picked. Grapes of different colors and sizes, such as Kyoho, Summer Black, White Milk, Red Grape, and Drunk Golden Fragrant, are hanging in the glass grids, bunches of which are crowded together and look very cute. Kiwi
, honey melon, orange, apple, kumquat, lime, fruit tomato, strawberry, lychee, loquat...all kinds of fresh and tender fruits are hanging in the planting grids, some are not yet fully ripe, and some are already fully ripe and can be picked and eaten.
Youxi recalled Fan Qi's happy look every time she stepped onto the terrace in the past two days, so she didn't press the picking button, ready to leave all the joy of the harvest to her mother.
As the sun rose, the dense forest outside became more and more lively. The dense forest that had not even seen insects during the plant growth period now hid countless animals under the huge and dense tree canopy.
Youxi was very glad that she acted decisively and went out to find rescue and send the survivors out just after the plant growth ended.
If they were still in this dense forest at this stage, the insects lurking in the dark at night could take their lives inadvertently.
When Youxi drove the flying car out before, she was afraid of being targeted, so she only flew in the dense forest for a while. When the dense forest was about to end, she put away the car and walked instead. So she is not particularly clear about the overall situation outside.
She only knows that the troops are currently clearing all the mutant plants near the previous large refuge areas based on the previous ones. Some refuge areas are not supported by heavy weapons, and the fighting situation is more tragic.
Fortunately, there is a secret weapons warehouse near the refuge area located hundreds of kilometers south of the dense forest. During the special period, the secret warehouse was opened, which saved the refuge area during the plant surge.
The predecessor of this refuge was a county town located on a desert. Because the natural geographical conditions were not suitable for plant growth, many people brought their families to seek refuge there since the beginning of the apocalypse.
Later, troops were stationed there, bringing a large amount of supplies and starting construction.
Today, the scale of the place has expanded several times and has become one of the large refuges in the northern region. The authorities are planning to fully utilize the desert and build shelters that can accommodate more people.
Only a refuge of this size can mobilize several large helicopters to rescue people in the deep forest.
Although Youxi is still unclear about the situation in other parts of Huaguo, from the example of this refugee area, both the troops and the people are fighting hard in their respective posts. If it can be done here, then other areas can definitely do it.
At this time, Youxi didn't know that the legend about the Star House was slowly spreading. The
previous legend of the South China Sea Island was only spread in a small area due to traffic isolation and poor communication.
But this time is different. For the two hundred survivors who were rescued, those ten days, looking back, are like a dream.
They learned about the horror of this plant outbreak from other refugees, and they realized that their survival was a miracle. But they knew that this was not a miracle, but someone had created a way out for them in a desperate situation.
The only building standing in the abandoned city was preserved because of the owner of the Star House.
As the news spread, the reason why these two hundred people were rescued also attracted the attention of the official senior officials of the refuge area.
The officials were greatly shocked by the wood-related supernatural powers that were passed down by word of mouth, such as the ability to take objects out of thin air, and other special abilities.
It was not because of the uniqueness, but because of the difference in strength.
The people in the refuge area did not know that with the surge in plants in the northern region of the planet, special mutations had also occurred among humans. The mutated individuals are very, very rare, and only a dozen people are currently known in Huaguo.
Several of them have changed their sense of smell, and can use their noses to judge whether mutant plants and animals are harmful and whether they can be eaten.
Most of them have changed their strength and speed, and their physical fitness is 2 to 2.5 times that of ordinary people, and they can almost compete with some mutant animals.
But compared with the large number of plant and animal changes, the proportion of such mutations in humans is too small, and they are still too weak.
And if the survivors are not exaggerating, the ability of the owner of this star house should be the strongest among the mutants known so far.
Or maybe, the other party is not an ordinary human who has mutated, but more like an alien himself.

When the morning light completely enveloped the terrace of the Star House, Fan Qi also came up. She saw the green lights for harvest displayed neatly next to the glass grids, and exclaimed in surprise: "Great, lychees and strawberries are ripe. Your father was thinking about eating lychees yesterday! Limes and kumquats can also be picked. There is still a lot of honey at home. I will make a big pot of kumquat, lime and honey tea later..."
Fan Qi said as she pressed the green light button next to the planting grid she wanted to harvest as if she was playing a farm game. Then, several delicate and dexterous metal hands immediately stretched out from the corresponding planting grids and began to pick automatically.
Fully ripe fruits and vegetables are picked and transported along the pipeline to the packaging area for collective cleaning, low-temperature drying and vacuum packaging. Finally, they slide out of the opening of the pickup area and are neatly arranged. Those
that are not yet fully ripe continue to add nutrient solution to replenish water and light.
For those grids that have all been harvested, the machine will automatically determine whether there is another harvest. If there is a next harvest, it will continue to cultivate. For those that have matured several times and cannot be harvested anymore, the plant roots will be processed, the soil will be renovated, nutrient solution will be added, and the next wave of seeds will be waited for.
There were too many vegetables and fruits picked this time, and Fan Qi couldn't move them all by himself, so he grabbed his daughter who was doing morning exercises and asked her to take a shortcut.
Youxi put all the fruits and vegetables into the Xingwu warehouse, followed Fan Qi downstairs, and took out the vegetables to be put in the refrigerator according to her request. Some fruits that she wanted to eat were placed on the kitchen counter, waiting for her to deal with them.
"This cream strawberry is too sweet, let's make strawberry pancakes in the morning?" Fan Qi started to make breakfast, and Youxi started to taste them.
Grapes, fruits, tomatoes, lychees, and loquats, she peeled them and stuffed one into Fan Qi's mouth from time to time, and the mother and daughter ate while discussing what they wanted to grow in the future.
"It would be best to find a way to get some mycelium, and grow mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and chicken mushrooms..."
"Mycelium is different from seeds, and cannot be put in directly. I will ask the system how to grow it later."
"Oh, by the way, do you have ginseng seeds? In addition to vegetables and fruits, you can also grow honeysuckle, wolfberry and the like. Do you have tea tree seeds? Even apples can grow in grids, so tea trees should be able to..." "
..." You Xi supported his forehead, "Mom, tea leaves cannot be drunk without processing, and the tea aroma cannot be released. It is also more harmful to the stomach..." "
It's okay, isn't it just hand-fried tea leaves? All you need is a pot. My dad and I can try it later. Anyway, we are free, so just go get the seeds."
"...Okay."
...
Such leisurely and peaceful days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the world mission to be delivered.
However, at midnight on May 6, the expected world mission message was not delivered to Youxi on time.
She frowned and waited for a moment, and the time was already 0:03: "What's the matter? Where is the world mission?"
[There was a problem, I'm checking.]
Youxi waited for a while, and Xing Min finally delivered the new world mission information, but the message on it made Youxi stunned.
[The ninth apocalyptic world: Endless Train (Invitation to the Unknown World)]
There was only a simple line of words, no world type, identity and mission. Compared with the incomplete message in the black worm world, this time there was no mission at all.
"What's going on?" Youxi sensed a huge conspiracy, "An invitation to an unknown world? So this doomsday mission is an invitation?"
[Rather than an invitation, it's more like a trap. I was able to get some information from the previous mission worlds, but this world is completely unknown. If it's its work, then this world must be full of dangers.]
"Can I refuse?"
[I just tried and couldn't refuse. The only way now is for me to forcibly interrupt you after you enter this world.]
"But if you do that, you'll consume a lot of energy."
[You don't have to think about this. For me, if something happens to you, all my efforts will be wasted. All the anchors are on you. Only by saving you can I save myself. 】
"I understand." You Xi calmed down, "There are still 24 hours left, I will be fully prepared."

At six o'clock in the morning, the Star House was reset.
Fan Qi woke up, opened the French curtains, and found that the scenery outside had changed completely. She remembered that today was the day when the Star House was reset.
The reset of the Star House also means that her daughter will enter the mission world again tonight.
After a short break of one month, her daughter will travel to another doomsday world to experience the line of life and death. For any mother, this is a depressing day.
Fan Qi looked at the gravel road surface close to the glass and felt a little uncomfortable. She still preferred the Star House to be reset at a high place so that she could take in all the surrounding conditions at the first time.
The Star House is about the height of the second floor. There are buildings of different styles all around, with red sloping roofs and white walls. In the distance, you can also see some high and low pointed tower buildings.
