Li Yao laid out all the bamboo in front of the four giant pandas, letting them choose their favorites.
In May, we finally selected *Phyllostachys edulis*, *Phyllostachys edulis* var. *spinosa*, and *Phyllostachys edulis*.
The three children chose cold arrow bamboo, March bamboo shoots, and arrow bamboo with few flowers.
Perhaps because they've been eating arrow bamboo in the Spirit Spring Space, these little guys suddenly encountered a new and different flavor, and they all clung to it and wouldn't let go.
Li Yao took out only a few tender bamboo shoots of each kind, not worried that they would overeat, so she let them be.
She transplanted all these different types of bamboo next to the original bamboo grove, so that the spiritual energy would nourish these bamboos in the future, and they could eat them slowly in turn.
Planting bamboo is quite simple. When Li Yao dug it up, she harvested the whole plant with the soil and roots. So when planting, she just used her mind to dig a suitable hole in the [Spiritual Spring Space], put the bamboo in, and finally watered it with some spiritual spring water.
After working for several hours and saying goodbye to May's family, Li Yao went to the Chinese medicinal herb planting area and planted some mutated herbs that she had dug up from the Banna Botanical Garden. Finally, she went to the orchard and forest to transplant all the mutated plants she had collected earlier.
After working for most of the day, she had planted most of what she had collected, and had also used up all the large buckets of spiritual spring water she had accumulated. After instructing the robots that cared for the park to guard the plants, she returned to the Invisible House.
After lunch, Li Yao thought about sending the mutated vegetables from the wild vegetable garden she had previously harvested to the base in the south, but how to send them without causing herself any trouble was a problem.
She asked the system: "[6834, are there only a few bases in areas suitable for the growth of these wild vegetables?]"
System [Host, there are human survivors in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Jiangxi provinces. Currently, the official bases are mostly occupied by troops, with 1-3 in each city. There are also many other private bases. The system suggests that the host be sent to an official base, where there are agricultural groups with preserved scientific research equipment that can be researched and promoted.]
Li Yao thought so too. After all, the official base wasn't entirely a dog-eat-dog world; it still retained some of the grand principles and the spirit of continuing the flame.
Li Yao thought for a moment and told the system, "[6834, select the base with the strongest official power in each region and mark the location of the agricultural group's experimental land]."
The system responded, "Okay, host, already marked."
Li Yao opened the system panel, looked at the five red dots on the map, marked them one by one on the [Teleportation Gate], and then used her mind to divide all the wild mutated vegetables in the [Infinite Space] into five groups, each containing a different type.
After sorting the items, Li Yao put on her invisibility cloak and headed to the official first base in Nanshi City, Yunnan Province.
She positioned the teleportation portal, opened it, and looked outside. There was no one within the portal's area, but the area below the portal frame clearly indicated the experimental field. Li Yao stepped out, used spatial control, and transplanted all the wild mutated vegetables into the unplanted area of the experimental field. Then, she controlled the soil to cover her footprints, quickly stepped into the teleportation portal, and closed it. The movements were swift and fluid, without pause or hesitation.
Ignoring the bizarre and existential tantrums of the experimenters who returned from the experimental field, Li Yao quickly went to her second stop, Guicheng.
The same [teleportation portal] was opened again, but this time, unfortunately, there were people in sight: several middle-aged men in dusty work clothes were making notes on some plants.
Upon seeing someone, Li Yao immediately closed the [Teleportation Gate]. It seems that transplanting can't be done during the day in Guicheng; it will have to wait until night.
Next, she went to three other places, but unfortunately, the experimental fields were all guarded or recorded, so Li Yao had to abandon the plan and decide to take action at night.
...
Meanwhile, in the Yuncheng experimental field, Wang Xuezhi and three colleagues had only left the field for a few minutes to go to the laboratory to check the breeding data. When they returned, they suddenly discovered that more than an acre of various mutated "grasses" had appeared in the experimental field. He was shocked, thinking that mutated plants had attacked the experimental field. He immediately pressed the alarm button to call the security personnel, while he and several colleagues slipped out of the experimental field greenhouse to get some tools to fight the mutated plants.
The apocalypse came suddenly. He was originally a rice researcher at the Agricultural Research Institute. After a difficult journey with his family to reach the First Base, he returned to his original profession due to his work.
Their family only has a 13-year-old son who is a level 1 fire-type ability user, but because he is too young, he cannot earn crystal cores. No ability user team would take a 13-year-old child they don't know well out to kill zombies and find supplies; that would be too unreliable. Those ability user teams are afraid that the child might be in danger and thus cause others to die. So an ability user can only earn meager points by doing logistics work, but without crystal cores, he cannot upgrade. Without upgrading, he cannot earn more points to exchange for supplies, so he can only be trapped in such a vicious cycle.
Her husband is just an ordinary person. Now, the family can live in the research institute's family area because of his job, far away from those man-eating monsters and morally bankrupt "people". Therefore, the mutated rice seeds in the experimental field must not have any problems while he is on duty. He cannot bear the consequences of the rice seeds being damaged, nor does he want to return to that chaotic place in the ordinary area.
He was supposed to be on duty today, but he had to leave the experimental field to go to the lab because of a problem with the data. It was only for a few minutes, just a few minutes. Wang Xuezhi was now filled with self-reproach. He shouldn't have left; if he had to, he should have found someone else to watch the experimental field in his place.
Wang Xuezhi's eyes were filled with panic and regret, but then he became determined. He decided that even if it meant risking his life to name the alien plant, he would dig out the crystal core, destroy the alien plant, and protect the rice seed. He only hoped that the base would treat his family and children well in consideration of his willingness to sacrifice his life to protect the seed.
