Chapter 87: Rescue on the Desolate Planet 10 [Update 1]
"This is the legendary natural medicine that can perfectly repair genes. This thing is a treasure from head to toe. Only one ripe fruit is needed to completely cure the most serious genetic disease. All the golden sun fruits on this plant are ripe..." In short, what is now in front of the two is basically a treasure house. Once taken out, it will set off a huge wave of treasures!
Ruan Xi was in a state of continuous excitement, and He Ziqian was also shocked.
Because he had heard of the magical effects of the Golden Sun Fruit.
"I once heard my grandfather talk about the Golden Sun Fruit. He said that if the Golden Sun Fruit could have been found back then, my parents, my grandparents, and my uncle's family would have been saved..." He Ziqian was caught off guard and passively recalled the sad past. There was a hint of imperceptible sadness in his low voice, and he even choked a little.
However, his mood changed only in a flash. When Ruan Xi looked over, his facial expression had returned to normal.
"They... all have genetic diseases?" Ruan Xi was concerned about He Ziqian's feelings at this moment, but she was even more concerned about the cause of death of He Ziqian's parents and relatives. Was it just a coincidence that everyone had a genetic disease? Was there something wrong with He Ziqian's health? Was there anything wrong with the grandfather who had mentioned Jin Yang Guo to him?
"It's not a genetic disease, but a genetic toxin. They were infected with the genetic toxin in a battle with the Zerg, and there is no cure." In the end, he and his grandfather watched their loved ones die in pain, and deep scars were carved into their hearts. Today, many years later, whenever they think of it, they feel a heart-wrenching pain.
He will never forget this hatred!
"Genetic toxins? Is the brain... damaged too?" If the brain wasn't severely damaged, with the medical level of the interstellar era, how could no one be saved?
"The doctor who treated them at the time said that the genetic toxin could not be completely analyzed by instruments, and it was most likely something from another dimension. However, my grandfather said that the Golden Sun Fruit must be able to detoxify this genetic toxin. Unfortunately, we couldn't find it back then..." But now, there is no need to look for it at all. The Golden Sun Fruit suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Are there any samples of that genetic toxin still available?" Ruan Xi could feel He Ziqian's sadness, but he had to ask further. He didn't want them to be at a loss when this genetic toxin appeared again. After all, there was no evidence to show that the Golden Sun Fruit could definitely detoxify that genetic toxin. Everything was just a legend.
"Yes, with my grandfather." He Ziqian answered almost impatiently, and even a bit of anticipation welled up in his eyes. This undoubtedly showed that He Ziqian had never given up on finding out the truth about his family's tragic death.
"Okay, when I get back, give me the sample and I will definitely research an antidote!" In the past, he might have hesitated a little, but now, with the Golden Sun Fruit in front of him and the Tree of Life as his backing, he has everything he needs, including the right time, place, and people. There is simply no reason for him not to succeed.
"Thanks."
"Alas, we are all comrades-in-arms. It would be hypocritical if I keep saying thank you. Hurry up and help me look around to see if there are other Golden Sun fruit trees. I'll dig this one out first." Ruan Xi was very grateful for his thorough preparation. He not only brought soilless active sampling containers, but also soiled living sampling containers. As long as the Golden Sun fruit was not too fragile, he could take the whole plant back. If that didn't work, he would pick all the Golden Sun fruits and preserve them. In any case, he could bring back a treasure trove.
I felt so happy that I wanted to breakdance on the spot, I was so excited that I couldn't contain myself!
Fortunately, the Jinyang fruit tree was not fragile at all, and with Ruan Xi's meticulousness and caution, she transplanted the Jinyang fruit tree into the living sampling container without any damage. Holding the jar, Ruan Xi smiled like a fool, which unexpectedly amused He Ziqian.
"Sorry, I didn't find the second Golden Sun fruit tree." He Ziqian said sorry, but there was a smile on his face that looked quite relaxed.
Ruan Xi looked at He Ziqian's expression and raised his eyebrows slightly, "It doesn't matter. If I have one living plant, I can grow ten or a hundred of them." Besides, he still has the magical tool of the plant atlas. As long as he successfully grows one plant, he can harvest unlimited golden sun fruits in the plant atlas!
Couldn't be more awesome!
"I believe you can do it."
After all this, He Ziqian's depression had almost dissipated. He wanted to avenge his family, but obviously not now.
"You have good vision!" Ruan Xi accepted He Ziqian's praise and trust without hesitation, and carefully put the living sample container into the storage container, checking it again and again, fearing that there would be some problems with the storage container.
Along the way, the two of them had experienced great mood swings, sometimes thrilling, sometimes excited, and they were so tense that they had almost no time to relax. Now, Ruan Xi finally got the good thing he had sensed, and the pulling feeling that seemed to come from the depths of his soul finally dissipated, which made him unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
"You can't feel the good stuff anymore, but you feel relaxed instead?" He Ziqian immediately noticed Ruan Xi's mood change and couldn't help but tease him.
"That's right. It's a bit uncomfortable to keep thinking about something in your mind, no matter whether it's good or bad!" Ruan Xi answered with a shrug, standing up straight and looking for a way out.
But after searching for a long time, the only opening they found was the one where they came in.
"No other exit?" Ruan Xi didn't think that if he asked He Ziqian to search for the Golden Sun Fruit Tree, he would only focus on the Golden Sun Fruit Tree. He must have taken the opportunity to understand the environment here.
Sure enough, He Ziqian's answer confirmed his guess.
"There is indeed no other way out. Perhaps, going back would be a better choice." He Ziqian felt that all the words "maybe", "perhaps" and "possibly" he had said in the past twenty years were not as many as what he had said in the past few days, and the person who brought about this change was undoubtedly the person next to him - Ruan Xi.
I have to say that Ruan Xi is truly a magical existence.
"Okay, then let's go back. It seems that this road is really blocked." Ruan Xi didn't care. He couldn't help but look forward to being lucky enough to find some good things on the way back!
The two turned around and walked back the way they came. Not long after they went forward, they were still blocked by the stone wall. At this moment, He Ziqian saw that the vines that had helped them open the stone wall were still there. There was even a gap of nearly ten centimeters between the stone walls. It was definitely a surprise.
At this time, even if He Ziqian wanted to ignore this matter, it would seem too deliberate.
When Ruan Xi saw the small tree still supporting the stone wall, he couldn't help but want to hold his forehead. He was so excited when he discovered the Golden Sun Fruit and collected a living Golden Sun Fruit tree that he forgot the existence of the small tree for a moment. However, the small tree had been helping them push the stone wall without any complaints.
This seems a little abnormal.
"So, do you want to cross this stone wall first and then continue chatting?" Xiaoshu's voice finally sounded in Ruan Xi's mind again. Perhaps he was thinking too much, and he was actually frightened. He quickly pulled He Ziqian forward.
"Go ahead and talk later."
"good."
He Ziqian also knew that now was not a good time to tell a story, so he pulled Ruan Xi behind him and got stuck in the gap first. No one knew how he did it, but he squeezed and shrunk, and he actually squeezed into the gap that was obviously not in line with his body size. With a low shout, He Ziqian pushed with his arms, and with the help of the vines, he instantly widened the gap by two times.
"Pass!"
"Okay!"
Ruan Xi responded and quickly crawled past He Ziqian. Before he had even half passed through, He Ziqian turned around and crawled out with him. Then, the small tree retracted its branches, wrapped them around Ruan Xi, and passed through together. The coordination between the two and the tree was perfect.
The stone wall behind him returned to its original position with a bang, still sticking tightly to the stone wall, as if it had never been opened.
This scene is quite strange and makes people feel uneasy for some reason.
"Isn't this too smooth? Could the Golden Sun Fruit Tree we found be fake?" Ruan Xi silently started to speculate on the conspiracy. He even took out the Golden Sun Fruit Tree he had just put away to take a closer look. What if the plant atlas was also wrong?
"How could the plant encyclopedia be wrong! Xiaoxi, wake up!" The little tree wrapped around Ruan Xi without much scruples at this moment, stretched out two branches, hugged his shoulders and shook them, with no intention of hiding its tracks at all. Anyway, it had already been exposed, and there was no point in hiding it anymore.
"Oh, oh, oh... Xiaoshu, stop shaking, I'm going to vomit..." Ruan Xi quickly took back what he had said and comforted the agitated Xiaoshu.
After finally calming Xiaoshu down, he looked up and met He Ziqian's interested eyes.
"...Just ask whatever you want to ask." Ruan Xi felt that there seemed to be nothing that could not be said between her and He Ziqian. He was a man worthy of trust.
"What is this? It doesn't look like a vine..." He Ziqian only saw clearly at this time that what helped them hold up the stone wall was not a vine, but more like a branch, or a branch of a small tree, which did not look very scientific.
"This is my friend, Xiaoshu. He... lives in my body and grows with me. He can also help me at critical moments, just like the situation just now. He has his own thoughts and can think independently. I will not give him orders. He is free. I met him in the forest on Funong Star..." Ruan Xi told He Ziqian everything he could, but in the end he still concealed the fact that the little tree was a branch of the big tree and that they were the tree of life.
He trusted He Ziqian, but he could not trust He Ziqian on behalf of Dashu, and he was unwilling to bring danger to Dashu.
However, he underestimated He Ziqian's analytical ability and knowledge reserves.
"A plant with self-awareness, with extremely strong branches and leaves, and can parasitize the human body...the Tree of Life?" He Ziqian's voice was as low and magnetic as ever, but Ruan Xi had no appreciation at all, only shock in her heart.
Holy shit, you can guess that? What's wrong with your brain?
