Chapter 90 Remover
The moonlight was pouring down, the cold air was biting, snow was drifting outside, white frost was piled on the branches of the trees, the warm flames in the fireplace were swaying in the wind, and a layer of light white mist was attached to the glass windows .
In the corner of the dim light, three pairs of eyes stared directly at the elegant young man in the center of the stage.
Shao Lin waved his hand, and the staff below the stage immediately brought up a table. The point was not the wooden table, but a glass cabinet placed on the wooden table.
In the cabinet... there seemed to be a few sprouting potato seedlings.
The guests looked at each other, a little confused, what was the point of showing them the soil.
"As you can see, this is a potato, a safe and edible potato grown with soil."
Someone stood up suddenly, staring at the brown soil and potato seedlings in the glass cabinet.
His voice trembled slightly: "What did you say?"
Shao Lin smiled, his face calm, as if he didn't know how shocking his words were: "We have found a solution to the problem of soil that cannot be used for planting."
"What? The soil can be used for planting?"
"Really?
You are not lying." "What's the point
of lying to us." The guests in the audience were boiling like a pot of boiling water, and they were discussing fiercely.
Gu Bingchen was slightly surprised and looked at Gu Huan: "I remembered something."
Gu Huan was in shock. She was also studying soil, but at the moment, she had no idea. Hearing this, she asked: "What is it?"
"Do you remember what you did after we first met?" Gu Bingchen answered the question irrelevantly, but grabbed Jiang Yunqi's hand and played with it slowly, with the corners of his lips straightened and his expression complicated.
When they first met, his memory was temporarily lost. Jiang Yunqi thought for a while and had some influence: "I remember that we saved Yuan Yu and Yang Yitong."
"You saved them." Gu Bingchen corrected him and continued, "Afterwards, I asked them why they got into such a dangerous situation. Do you know why?"
"I don't know, so why?" Gu Hua shook her head. She and Xu Huili were hiding somewhere else at the time and were not familiar with the Meicheng base at all.
"Soil, Yuan Yu's mission that time was to retrieve soil that could be safely planted." Jiang Yunqi took over the conversation, his eyes staying on the brown soil in the glass cabinet in the center of the stage.
Gu Bingchen snapped his fingers vacuously: "Yes, soil."
"When you left the research center at the Meicheng base, no one should have told you about the soil, right?" Although it was a rhetorical question, Gu Bingchen already had the answer in his heart.
Gu Huan had taken over the research center for a period of time, and no one had mentioned it to her. She frowned, tapped her knees with her slender fingers, and made a reasonable guess: "Shao Lin...or, Zou Rui, when the two of them escaped, they took the soil away."
"Whether it was by chance or not, who knows?" Gu Bingchen looked back at the center of the stage, a sneer escaped from his throat, and there was a hint of meaning in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Sitting in a wheelchair with his head down and silent, Zou Rui felt a chill on his back and shuddered violently, as if he was being stared at.
His long and messy hair pricked his eyelids. Zou Rui took a few deep breaths to suppress the panic in his heart. In his ears was Shao Lin who was talking freely. He lowered his eyes to look at his legs that were soft and weak and could no longer stand up. His thin eyes revealed a coldness like a venomous snake.
It's all this person's fault, it's all this person...
Zou Rui clenched his hands into fists and bit the soft flesh in the back of his mouth until he tasted a hint of blood, and then he let go of his back teeth.
"Yes, that's right. We have indeed overcome the major problem of soil that cannot be used for planting."
Shao Lin smiled. He took a step back, put one hand on the wheelchair, pushed Zou Rui to the front, and said softly, "The person who made this outstanding contribution is my younger brother."
"For this, he also lost his legs. For the rest of his life, he can only rely on a wheelchair to move." The young man half-knelt, a teardrop flowed from the corner of his eye, and he smiled bitterly, "It's all because of my brother's uselessness." His
long bangs covered Zou Rui's expression, and he looked coldly at the young man's hypocrisy.
"What do you think happened to Zou Rui's legs?" Gu Bingchen leaned on Jiang Yunqi's shoulder, as if he had watched a good show, with a relaxed smile between his eyebrows.
Jiang Yunqi's eyes flashed with coldness: "It's dog-eat-dog."
Gu Hua nodded, very much agreeing with Jiang Yunqi's concise summary.
The play on the stage didn't last long, Shao Lin stopped at the right time, and the guests didn't care about the story at all. Their anxious expressions were all directed at the soil.
Shao Lin stood up and took out a small bottle of glass tube from a bag in the wheelchair. He shook it, and the bright white light of the crystal chandelier reflected on the light green viscous liquid, which was shiny and very beautiful and dreamy.
"Just pour a drop of remover into the contaminated soil..."
The young man paused and said, "Just wait for a while, and all the viruses in the soil will be removed."
Someone half-believed and half-doubted, "Is it that simple?"
"Will you be responsible if something happens?"
The audience was talking a lot, most of them were watching secretly with distrust.
Shao Lin had expected this scene a long time ago, and smiled, "You can go outside and dig a pot of soil now, and let's try it out."
"Seeing it with your own eyes is more convincing."
As soon as these words came out, someone ran out, wearing a decent suit, and directly dug up a small piece of hard soil in the garden outside the door, digging through the layers of snow.
"In order to prevent people from saying that I hired someone to help, the seeds should be provided by you, how about that?" Shao Lin took the cool soil, his eyes were calm, without a trace of disgust, and his face was full of confidence, which made the skeptics believe it to some extent.
There were several space ability users among the guests. They gathered together and mixed the seeds they found together. In this way, non-professionals could not tell what kind of seeds these were.
Shao Lin looked at the various tableware on the long table, walked off the stage, and picked up a white porcelain bowl at random.
Put the hard soil block into the bowl and crush it, then opened the glass tube and carefully dripped a drop of remover.
After about dozens of seconds, Shao Lin grabbed a handful of seeds and casually scattered them into the soil.
The banquet hall was completely silent, and everyone was staring intently at the white porcelain bowl, their faces full of anticipation.
Even Gu Bingchen and Gu Hua were a little curious.
"It's not ready yet? It can't be fake." Some people were so impatient that they didn't consider that it takes time for the seeds to germinate.
The young man seemed to have just thought of the point, and smiled embarrassedly, saying, "I'm so sorry, I forgot that it takes some time for the seeds to germinate. You may not be able to wait for the seeds to germinate tonight
." "What are you doing? I'm just waiting to see the seeds germinate."
"That's right, I can't come and see in two days. Who knows if the fruits I take out by then have been replaced?"
"No sense, it really can't be true."
There was a sigh from the audience, but Shao Lin was not in a hurry at all. He glanced at Zhou Jun who was also standing on the stage.
"How about this, let's ask a wood-type supernatural to ripen the fruits, okay?"
Zhou Jun made a suggestion when everyone was discussing fiercely.
"That's fine, but it doesn't prove that the soil is safe." Someone hesitated and raised another question.
"No." Shao Lin calmly answered and asked, "Before this, there should have been wood-type psychics who ripened seeds. Similarly, the food grown was inedible."
"The psychic is just a medium."
In just a few words, he convinced everyone of their doubts. This man is quite capable.
Gu Bingchen watched everything on the stage with interest.
Two wood-type psychics were selected to come on stage. They carefully released their psychic powers. The seeds buried deep in the soil slowly sprouted green branches under the blessing of the friendly psychic powers. The
green psychic light ball bathed the seeds, and a tomato seedling grew fruit.
Shao Lin glanced at the psychic whose lips were gradually turning pale, and saw the right moment to stop the operation. Time was limited, and only two tomatoes were produced. One was sent to the staff's testing instrument for testing, and the other, under everyone's burning gaze, was bitten by Shao Lin, juicy and filled the air with a faint tomato fragrance.
As everyone knows, food grown in contaminated soil will also infect the zombie virus if eaten. They stared at Shao Lin, not missing any changes on the young man's face, until the minute hand moved a few more squares, and the young man stood on the stage unharmed.
"The virus rate is safe and edible."
At this time, the machine's test results also came out, and the virus rate was infinitely close to 0.
A single stone stirs up a thousand waves. When this result came out, combined with Shao Lin being safe and sound, the crowd was shocked.
Someone immediately raised his hand: "How much is the remover? I want ten bottles!"
"Me, me, me! I want fifty bottles!"
"Waqu, you are so rich, leave some for the people behind!"
It was like a noisy mess of grandpa and grandma fighting for eggs on sale in the supermarket.
Jiang Yunqi sighed, stood up, and said: "Go home? I'm a little sleepy."
Gu Bingchen yawned: "Then let's go."
Gu Hua looked at the scene on the stage, and her mind was actually quite active. She also wanted to buy a bottle to take back for research.
"Don't even think about it. They both know you. Now that you show up, let alone whether they are willing to sell it to you, it's good that they don't take the opportunity to retaliate against you." Gu Bingchen held Jiang Yunqi's hand and said, "Your senior brothers and sisters will definitely buy it for research."
This is true. Her eldest senior brother and second senior sister are particularly fond of experiments. I think she should be able to see the real thing when she goes to the laboratory in a few days. Gu Hua retracted her gaze and followed Gu Bingchen and the other two. They bypassed the main door and left from the side door.
As for why they didn't go through the main door?
According to Gu Bingchen, it was because it was as noisy as a vegetable market inside, and they left the banquet calmly, which made them stand out.
So when the staff asked about it, Gu Hua pretended to be sick, holding her stomach and looking pale.
These people in charge knew that the guests attending the banquet were all important people, so they opened the door without thinking and wanted to call a doctor for Gu Hua.
Gu Hua shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's an old problem, thank you."
After that, she pretended to be weak and left.
"Your acting skills are terrible compared to those two people inside."
Under the hazy moonlight, the tall man lowered his head to smoke, and sparks lit up in the dark night.
