In Chongqing, at 6 a.m., Li Zhi from the agricultural research team came to the experimental field to change shifts. He was puzzled as to how the vegetables in the experimental field had grown to 2 meters tall overnight. He had only rested for one day yesterday. Were the people in the agricultural research team on some kind of cheat code?
He went up to Zhao Heng, the person on duty, and saw him sleeping with his head on the duty table. He reached out and patted him, saying, "Old Zhao, wake up, it's time to go home."
Li Zhi patted Zhao Heng several times but received no response. He immediately realized something was wrong, turned him over, and saw that he was still breathing but unconscious. He picked up the walkie-talkie on the table and said, "Security room. This is the No. 1 experimental field of the Agricultural Research Group. The duty officer, Zhao Heng, is unconscious. Please send someone to the infirmary immediately."
After repeating the words twice, a speed-type ability user and a strength-type ability user quickly arrived at the duty room. The strength-type user carried Zhao Heng on his back and headed towards the infirmary, while the other person stayed behind to ask Li Zhi what had happened. After asking, they made a note of it and went back to the duty room to check the surveillance footage.
Li Zhi continued his shift with trepidation.
Finally, the duty room surveillance showed that everything was normal. The mutated wild vegetables appeared suddenly without any warning. The scene flashed and they appeared in the ground. When Zhao Heng woke up, he couldn't explain what happened. He was just on duty as usual, and then he didn't know anything about the rest of the night.
The agricultural research institute was also baffled when they discovered that it was a non-aggressive, edible alien plant. In the end, they couldn't figure it out and gave up. They were busy with work every day, but as long as it was edible, they were fine with it. Finally, they started to arrange breeding and promotion.
In Ganzhou and Sichuan, some people recognized that one of the wild vegetables was a cultivated variety from the Banna Botanical Garden. This variety is rare, and several researchers had participated in the breeding project. There were also special markings on the leaves that could prove the identity of the vegetable. At that moment, some people realized that these might have been specially sent by someone.
Inspired by this, these people realized that they had been thinking in the wrong direction, always looking for breakthroughs in breeding. They should look for wild plants or living fossil varieties that have lived for centuries. They promptly sent people to local botanical gardens, plantations, or zoos to collect plants that had been used for research or breeding in the past, taking advantage of the spring season to identify variations and edibility.
Guicheng reacted quickly. After confirming that the wild vegetables were edible and non-invasive, they began to organize a large number of people with rural planting experience and knowledge of wild vegetables to go to the forest and mountainous areas not far from the base to identify and pick seasonal wild vegetables. Fortunately, it was springtime and the wild vegetables were still edible.
Survivors can be found picking wild vegetables in small parks, vegetable gardens, and wastelands to exchange for points or to eat themselves, which has alleviated the problem of vegetable shortage in the city.

Li Yao, after concentrating for a few minutes last night, changed back into her pajamas and went back to sleep until she was woken up by her alarm clock this morning.
After washing up and exercising in the morning, I ate breakfast while listening to the system report on the reactions of various bases, and I felt a little happy.
Breakfast consisted of abalone seafood congee, shrimp dumplings, and soup dumplings. Li Yao ate six baskets of dumplings by herself, while 6834 finished three baskets. After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they planned to transplant some lotus flowers and other plants today.
Li Yao browsed through the [Infinite Space] for suitable water tanks or flowerpots. She had originally planned to use a large blue-and-white porcelain water tank, but the lotus flowers were too large, with each bloom exceeding half a meter in diameter. That would require a huge water tank, taking up far too much space.
After thinking for a moment, she got a few slender glass vases and porcelain bottles. She poured in a dozen drops of spiritual spring water and mixed it with water from Lake Baikal. Then she took out one blooming red lotus, lotus, and giant water lily, trimmed them, and put them into the vases.
As it turned out, Li Yao was right; even a single large flower is beautiful.
She placed the red lotus on the bedside table in the bedroom, the king lotus on the dining table in the living room, and the lotus on the decorative cabinet in the living room. In the relatively enclosed environment, the fragrance of the lotus and water lilies gradually wafted in, quiet and elegant. Li Yao took a deep breath and used her spiritual power to sense it. The fragrance actually had the effect of enhancing her spiritual consciousness, which was a pleasant surprise.
Li Yao never expected to find such a treasure while casually picking something. She immediately returned to the [Spirit Spring Space] and dug a pond of 3 acres in the reserved area behind the villa. The pond was 30 meters deep, which was enough for these mutated plants to grow. Then she filled it with water from Lake Baikal and poured in 3 large buckets of 20L spirit spring water. The pond then became a spirit spring water pond.
Then Li Yao put the red lotus, lotus flowers, and giant water lilies, along with their leaves and roots, into the pond. She also sprayed the flowers with diluted spiritual spring water and released Special 95 to observe the growth of these flowers.
After leaving the [Spirit Spring Space], Li Yao smelled the faint fragrance of flowers and felt that she could focus on upgrading her superpowers today.
