Chapter 543: The development prospects of edible mutant plants

Yun Shuhuai used energy sensing to quickly identify plants and found plants with a high content of doomsday particles.

Then she manipulated the blade to cut off the plant sample, and then used object manipulation to pick it up and throw it into the box.

She moved quickly, collecting plants while rushing, without wasting anyone's time.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Jiayi looked at her movements curiously.

"Collect some plants, I want to see if there is anything edible."

"...Oh my god, are you hungry? We found so much food, isn't it enough for you? You are so powerful, how can you lack food?"

Yun Shuhuai shook his head, "I know, but the normal food left before the end of the world, I am afraid that most of it will be completely spoiled in two or three years."

"But there are still crops planted in the base, don't we still have these after eating them? Although they are a bit unpalatable, at least we won't starve to death."

Yun Shuhuai snapped his fingers and said, "You got the point. I want to ask Miss Cheng first, how many times have you eaten that crop?"

"Just... just twice. Although it is a bit unpalatable, I can still eat it. What's the matter?"

"Okay, then do you know that those crops will become less and less tasty after being planted for several consecutive crops?"

"Of course I know that."

Cheng Jiayi said proudly, "Those crops are almost inedible after three crops. The starch content of the crops is getting lower and lower, almost all of it is fiberized, and it is very easy to mutate and hurt people. Therefore, every once in a while, I will provide the base with unmutated seeds. This time I came out to find enough seeds."

Cheng Xiuyi touched Cheng Jiayi's head with satisfaction.

"Oh? So you know about these problems in the base. I saw you staying in the villa every day and I thought you didn't care."

Cheng Jiayi pouted and said, "Tsk, brother, don't underestimate me. I know a lot of things."

With five years of experience in her previous life, she certainly didn't need to go out to know the problems that might arise in the base.

In the past two years, she could predict everything in advance.

But until Chi Ye arrived, some things gradually got out of her control.

Yun Shuhuai said: "Since you have also discovered this kind of change, it means that if we leave them alone, these crops will eventually mutate into another inedible species sooner or later."

Yun Shuhuai paused, looked at everyone, a gleam in her eyes, she slowly said: "Then can you change your thinking, in this world, are there plants that were originally inedible that become edible after mutation?"

Yun Shuhuai listened with satisfaction as everyone took a breath of cool air.

Cheng Xiuyi was shocked and said, "If we can really find new species of food in the apocalypse, then we who are still alive won't have to risk everything to find food."

Shao Qi also murmured, "Yes, this way the survivors can live more safely." But

Cheng Jiayi curled her lips indifferently.

In her previous life, they naturally thought of this method, but in the five years she lived, she didn't find any mutant plants that could replace crops.

So she didn't agree with Yun Shuhuai's statement, and just thought she was showing off.

Yun Shuhuai noticed Cheng Jiayi's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Does Miss Cheng have any questions?"

Cheng Jiayi snorted and said, "It's easy for you to say. There are so many mutant plants in this world. Do you want to learn from Shennong and try all kinds of herbs one by one to see what is edible and what is not?

Of course there are edible mutant plants, but are you sure you can easily control them and ensure sufficient production?"

Yun Shuhuai nodded in agreement, "Your question is a good one, but if you don't work hard, you will never move forward. Maybe the food in your space is enough for you to eat for a lifetime, but the rest of the human race will probably starve to death."

She sighed and said, "As the saying goes, God knows. There is no way out. I don't think the end of the world will be so cruel that it won't give us survivors any chance to survive. Since it has given us powerful abilities to fight zombies and mutant plants and animals, there must be something that supports our survival, but we haven't found it yet.

Although mutant animals can be eaten, the risk of catching them is too great, and it's not certain who will eat whom. "

Cheng Jiayi sneered, "Oh, I didn't expect Miss Yun that you would believe in such a weird thing."

Yun Shuhuai turned his head and looked into Cheng Jiayi's eyes and said, "Otherwise, Miss Cheng, why do you think you can stand here and get your current status and achievements?"

Looking directly at the other party's cold eyes, Cheng Jiayi's heart suddenly trembled.

"What did you know?" She said subconsciously with a panicked look.

However, Yun Shuhuai had regained her original expression, and asked in confusion: "Ah? What do you know?"

"Oh, nothing, I'm just asking casually."

Cheng Jiayi said calmly, but she felt a cold sweat all over her body, and thought that the secret of her rebirth had been discovered.

However, she did feel as if she had been seen through by Yun Shuhuai, so she asked subconsciously.

It seems that it should be an illusion. After her rebirth, she has not told anyone about her rebirth.

Although she has slept with Yun Shuhuai twice, she can guarantee that she definitely does not have the habit of talking in her sleep.

Yun Shuhuai on the side gently curled his lips.

She just lied to Cheng Jiayi casually, but she didn't expect that she would be so impatient. She is really too naive.

Then Yun Shuhuai brought the topic back to the right track and continued, "So, someone has to do everything. Even if I can't solve the problem you mentioned, at least let all the survivors understand this concept. Maybe someone will soon find edible mutant plants. Even if they can't grow them in large quantities, at least they won't starve to death outside because they can't find food."

"I agree with Miss Yun." Cheng Xiuyi said.

He was still more optimistic. If they could really find alternative food, it would be great news for all mankind in the end times.

When he returned, he would report to the military and then focus on finding edible mutant plants.

Xi Qing looked at Cheng Xiuyi's energetic face, and came over to whisper to Yun Shuhuai, "No way, do you really want to find edible mutant plants? Don't you have... that?"

She was referring to the space.

It was obvious that Yun Shuhuai couldn't finish eating all the things in the space in eight lifetimes, so why bother looking for edible mutant plants.

Yun Shuhuai nodded and whispered, "Of course, although I have no shortage of food, don't you want to try the taste of mutant plants?"

She can still recall the taste of the mutant apples that Xi Ling gave her before. They were really a hundred times more delicious than ordinary apples.

Since then, she has planned to find edible mutant plants, but has not been successful so far.

Xi Qing finally understood that Yun Shuhuai was just full and had nothing to do.

Unlike other survivors who were short of food and clothing, there were so many kinds of plants and animals in her space that she didn't eat, and she just wanted to try something new.

However, Xi Qing did not think that Yun Shuhuai was being pretentious. Although she said that she wanted to taste the mutant plants, she might also be making plans for other survivors.

Because when she was in the H City base before, Yun Shuhuai seemed to be making various things for her own convenience, but in the end, it was benefiting the base.

For example, cultivating fruit trees in the base, using wood-based abilities to reduce doomsday particles in crops to improve the taste, etc.

With so many "criminal records", Xi Qing naturally thought that Yun Shuhuai was helping the survivors from the side again.

After the discussion, everyone continued to move forward.

They did not forget the purpose of this trip. Even if they wanted to find edible mutant plants, it would be impossible to find them all at once.

If it was really that easy to find, then they would have found it in the two years since the end of the world.

You can imagine how difficult it is.

They can't waste their time on this.

Yun Shuhuai just picked up a few randomly while rushing on the road, and didn't waste much time.
