Fang Qingdai couldn't go against the majority and finally agreed to take ten children on the mission!
She was somewhat melancholy the whole way, sitting cross-legged in a daze.
Seeing this, Jing Yi stepped forward and sat down next to her: "Don't worry so much, the children at our base are all excellent."
A faint light shone in Jing Yi's eyes, an unconscious gentleness emanating from him as he thought of the children at the base.
Fang Qingdai never knew that he, who seemed so aloof, was actually a person who loved children.
He just hadn't shown his affection for Tan Jie clearly before, but since he took Tan Jie as his apprentice and created a special training plan for the children at the base, and considering that the children were not yet fully developed and he was afraid that other instructors might hurt them during training, he has changed his attitude.
So, despite his busy schedule, he made time specifically to train the children, and Fang Qingdai suddenly realized that he was truly a soft-hearted person.
Fang Qingdai sighed helplessly. On the contrary, she was so busy every day that she hadn't paid much attention to the children at the base, let alone her own sister Qingluan.
"In addition to basic courses, our children have been given strength training, combat training, and wilderness survival training. Especially these ten top students, even if you threw them into the wilderness, they could probably survive for ten days to half a month on their own. So they are not as fragile as you think. You can trust them more."
Fang Qingdai sighed: "I'm not worried about those things."
"It was only after you all strongly persuaded me that I realized I really hadn't cared enough about these children. And my philosophy really doesn't align with the educational development of the wasteland. I was too cautious, which did limit the children's growth."
She was lost in thought, reflecting on her educational philosophy.
Children from the wasteland are indeed not suited to be hothouse flowers, yet when she heard that the children wanted to participate in the mission, she refused them outright without any room for negotiation, and even had hundreds of reasons ready in her mind.
Just like when Xiao Hei suggested staying at the bottom of the pit, Fang Qingdai rejected it outright without even considering it.
Can she be a big tree for life, forever sheltering these new lives from the wind and rain?
Jing Yi is right. The future of the wasteland depends on these children. What Fang Qingdai should do is to pave the way for them with all her might.
Like the predecessors of China, they sacrificed themselves one after another, building a ladder to heaven with their blood and flesh, so that future generations could step on their shoulders and touch the higher sky.
“I will adjust my thinking. Thank you. You did a better job than me. You have always been the one taking care of the children’s arrangements.”
Jing Yi smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling: "Just do what you want. I'll be there for you, even if you don't notice. I'll always be there for you."
Fang Qingdai's heart skipped a beat. She jumped up as if fleeing, rushing towards a group of children, pretending to explain the scenery along the way, and quickly blended in with them.
Jing Yi stared at her retreating figure for a long time, then finally just smiled and lowered his head.
As Fang Qingdai and her group got closer to the energy storm area, they felt increasingly restricted in their spatial movement. Fang Qingdai had to switch from chatting with the children while manipulating the space to having to concentrate fully on controlling it.
Noticing Fang Qingdai's serious expression, the children obediently sat down in a row, not making a sound.
Fang Qingdai was afraid of something going wrong, so she sealed the space wall tightly. But then the paulownia tree suddenly sent a message: "Open a small opening, and I'll try to absorb the energy."
"Huh?" Fang Qingdai was stunned: "Such a strong energy storm, don't push yourself too hard and cause problems!"
The energy storm contains not only positive energy, but also a lot of messy magnetic field energy. If a person tries to absorb this chaotic energy, they will almost certainly explode and die!
Even if the paulownia tree has a stronger ability to withstand stress than humans, it might not be able to withstand such a chaotic energy shock!
Moreover, if the spatial barrier were to open even a small opening, she would have no control over how much energy would flow in. It would be troublesome if her defenses were accidentally breached by an energy storm.
Just like in the polluted area on the other side of the pit, a small wisp of pollution sneaked in and corroded a small patch of grass in the space.
The paulownia tree, however, was eager to try: "But those energies are hard to gather, and there's a lot that I can absorb and use. If I absorb them all, the space will be greatly improved!"
"The Phoenix has recovered all the energy it consumed!"
Fang Qingdai paused when she heard it mention the phoenix!
The phoenix expended its energy to save her. Although the paulownia tree said it could recover slowly, Fang Qingdai still wanted to try if there was a chance to make it recover faster!
How confident are you?
Wutongmu paused for a moment, his consciousness, which was being transmitted, becoming somewhat weak: "Cough, fifty percent, I guess."
Fang Qingdai also remained silent for a while.
But deep down she's a daring person. If you have to say she's 50% successful, she's already halfway there. Why can't she give it a try?
Thinking of this, Fang Qingdai turned to her teammates and said, "Don't panic if anything unusual happens later. I won't let anyone get hurt!"
She left everyone in the black barrier area and went to the sycamore tree herself.
“I’ll open a small opening, and you can work with me to build a channel and control the influx of energy. You can try to absorb it first. If it works, we can widen the channel. If it doesn’t work, I will immediately cut off the channel, and then we’ll figure out how to clear the energy that has broken in.”
The sycamore tree excitedly shook its leaves, it couldn't wait any longer.
Fang Qingdai took a deep breath, then carefully opened the spatial barrier a little bit. The next second, she used her mental energy to condense a pipe shape and placed it at the gap to ensure that the incoming energy could move in the direction they wanted!
But the moment the energy surged in, Fang Qingdai's expression changed: "Hurry, I can't hold on!"
The impact of the energy storm was too great; the chaotic energy even interfered with Fang Qingdai's mental power. As a level nine mental power user, she almost couldn't withstand the first wave of impact!
Fortunately, the paulownia tree provided timely reinforcements, helping Fang Qingdai stabilize the passage!
The chaotic energy flowed through the channel to the sycamore tree, which was already prepared. It began to shake its leaves, frantically "picking up" and consuming any energy it could absorb!
"So much energy!"
It was incredibly excited, but before Fang Qingdai could even rejoice for it, the paulownia tree exclaimed in alarm, "No, there's too much unusable waste energy piling up!"
Fang Qingdai gritted her teeth and immediately set up a brand new black barrier area: "Stuff the unusable parts in here, and then figure out a way to throw them out later!"
Upon hearing this, the paulownia tree immediately stuffed the unusable unclean energy into it before swallowing the clean energy in large gulps!
Fang Qingdai watched as the flowers bloomed on the grass in the space, and the sunlight in the sky grew brighter and brighter!
She was also very excited, but just as she and the tree were immersed in the energy vortex, Fang Qingdai suddenly felt a violent energy impact!
Her mental energy channel was almost shattered!
