On the way back, Fang Qingdai and her group remained silent.
The boy who insisted on staying was named Xiao Nuo. He handed his sister over to Fang Qingdai and left without looking back.
Xiao Nuo's younger sister, Xiao Ya, was very ill with organ failure caused by a bacterial infection. The little girl had a high fever, but as if she had a telepathic connection, she struggled to open her eyes when her brother turned to leave.
She looked at her brother's equally frail back, without shouting or making a fuss, only letting large tears stream down her face.
Xiao Mao couldn't bear to watch any of this. He silently took the child, fed her an A-grade medicine, and then sat in the back seat of the car with Xiao Ya in his arms, remaining silent.
After a long silence, Fang Qingdai suddenly spoke up: "He has his own path to walk. We shouldn't restrict him with the excuse of doing what's best for him. Maybe if he sticks to his own path, he can create something extraordinary."
Fang Qingdai's eyes in the rearview mirror were gentle yet powerful. Xiaoya stared at her for a long time through the mirror, then nodded slightly and closed her eyes again, falling asleep.
Fang Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the little girl might do something rash. Children can be impulsive, and it would be bad if she thought she had been abandoned by her parents and brother and lost her will to live.
After more than ten minutes, Xiao Mao's eyebrows slowly relaxed: "The fever has gone down."
Fang Qingdai nodded, and after returning to the base, she summoned Uncle Lu and his wife, whose hair had turned completely white.
After telling Uncle Lu and his wife about Xiaoya's experience, Fang Qingdai looked worried: "Xiaoya has some emotional issues, and I'm afraid she might do something wrong. Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, you two are the most patient. Can you take care of this child yourselves?"
Looking at Xiaoya, who was thin and bony with a listless and lifeless gaze, Aunt Lu's eyes instantly filled with tears.
Uncle Lu nervously wiped his hands, looking somewhat helpless: "I... your Aunt Lu and I haven't taken care of the child in a long time, so I'm afraid we won't be able to take good care of her."
Fang Qingdai gently reassured her, "It's alright. The base has schools and hospitals. If the child has any problems, you can just ask someone for help. It's because this child has some psychological issues that I'm worried about letting her eat and live with the other adopted children, which is why I thought of entrusting her to you to keep an eye on her separately!"
Having said that, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu naturally agreed.
Before leaving, Uncle Lu glanced at Aunt Lu, who was holding Xiao Ya tightly, and suddenly bowed deeply to Fang Qingdai: "Thank you, Xiao Dai!"
Fang Qingdai softened her expression and nodded with a smile.
After retrieving the batch of strange stones, the Oasis Base immediately began research.
The research results showed that the energy contained in those stones was very refined, and any kind of superhuman could absorb it. Absorbing a tiny amount, about the size of a fingernail, was equivalent to three years of effort for a superhuman!
Moreover, because this energy has no attribute, it can be absorbed by any type of superhuman, making it particularly suitable as a carrier for superhuman transplantation!
With the energy extracted from this stone as a medium, the success rate of superpower transplantation has skyrocketed from 30% to 80%!
Previously, water-based and fire-based superpowers were mutually exclusive, making it virtually impossible to transplant them into the same human body at the same time. However, with this stone, even water- and fire-based superpowers that are mutually exclusive can coexist.
No wonder that organization would try every means to get these stones, whether to absorb them themselves or to use them for superpower transplantation!
Fang Qingdai asked Huang Guang, who learned from his teacher that the quantity of this kind of stone waste soil was extremely small. Before his teacher's accident, the organization had only about 300 kilograms of it!
More than 100 kilograms of it were stolen and hidden by Huang Guang's teacher.
Even if the organization finds new stones later, the total weight would probably only be three to five hundred kilograms, making the quantity truly rare.
Jing Yi asked Fang Qingdai, "What should we do with these stones?"
They don't perform ability transplants, but these stones directly absorb abilities to enhance those with superpowers, making them an invaluable treasure.
Fang Qingdai thought for a moment: "Extract all the energy and distribute it to all personnel in the base."
"Be discreet. There's no need to let everyone know what you've taken. Just mix it into your food or water."
Revealing such a valuable resource might cause some people to become agitated.
Let's just split it equally, make progress together, and avoid causing trouble!
However, Fang Qingdai kept two extra stones, intending to store them in her spatial storage in case she needed them in the future.
No sooner had the stone been placed into the space than the paulownia tree suddenly reacted violently, its leaves shaking violently!
His excited expression was like that of a wild dog that hadn't eaten for three days seeing a top-quality steak!
Fang Qingdai looked at the stone, then at the paulownia wood: "You want it?"
The paulownia tree responded by shaking its leaves in a human-like manner, so anxious that it wished it could uproot itself and use the roots as legs. It ran directly to Fang Qingdai's side and picked up the stone itself!
Fang Qingdai quickly handed over a stone!
To be fair, these stones are quite pretty.
It looks like an ordinary stone on the outside, but through the cracks in the stone, you can see the milky white stone inside. Those milky white parts seem to be alive, and you can see the internal fluctuations that resemble water mist.
Such a beautiful stone, caught by the sycamore tree branch for two seconds, was like a sponge that had been dried out; the misty vapor vanished instantly, and the milky white color turned into the same stone gray as the surface.
The stone was thrown aside by the paulownia tree, and upon hitting the ground, it instantly turned into powder.
Fang Qingdai watched as the paulownia tree, having absorbed the energy, instantly began to grow leaves rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the paulownia tree, which had been half-bald, was covered with green leaves and became lush and verdant. It was no longer the bare tree it once was.
That's awesome?
Fang Qingdai was stunned!
The paulownia tree, still not satisfied, frantically shook its leaves, demanding the remaining stone from Fang Qingdai!
Fang Qingdai glanced at the paulownia tree, then turned to look into the distance.
In the distance, layers of mountains rise one after another, and the babbling stream widens and widens, turning into a huge lake.
Flowers bloomed in the space, and a few white clouds appeared in the sky. As the clouds drifted by, there seemed to be faint halos of sunlight swirling around them.
This space is coming to life!
Fang Qingdai's heart pounded violently, and she quickly left the space to chase after Jing Yi!
Call her selfish if you will, but she insisted on keeping those stones!
While distributing it to base personnel can certainly enhance the overall strength of the Oasis Base, once the space comes to life, it will be a completely new, unpolluted world!
Perhaps even more food will grow, and new life will emerge.
If there is a space where life can be restored, the people at the Oasis base will benefit even more!
However, despite Fang Qingdai's swift running, when she finally found Jing Yi, she was told that the stones had already been extracted into energy liquid.
Fang Qingdai was struck dumb and almost burst into tears!
It's her fault! She was thinking of the base members, but didn't immediately think of the hardworking and meritorious Wutongmu.
From now on, any good things should be brought into the space and inspected by Wutongmu first!
Right now, all Qingdai could do was hold the remaining stone and the extracted energy liquid and slink into the space.
Hopefully, the paulownia tree won't mind the energy liquid...
