Xia He took another look at the mushroom and almost screamed in fright. This was no mushroom that a normal person could accept!
What do you mean by "having a few more black spots"?
It's clearly covered in them, isn't it?
Clusters of umbrella-shaped mushrooms, with white caps and slender white stems, are covered with densely packed tiny black dots.
Not only are they numerous, but they are also arranged very closely together with almost no gaps. Moreover, no matter how you look at them, these black dots seem to be wriggling slightly, like tiny eyes watching everything around them!
For people with trypophobia, seeing these mushrooms would likely trigger intense discomfort and fainting. Moreover, the appearance of these mushrooms exudes an unusual and creepy atmosphere that can cause unease and fear.
However, this kind of mushroom can survive at temperatures as low as 0.70 degrees Celsius, and it grows quite well!
It was first discovered on dead people, who were frozen solid. But the mushrooms could break through the ice and grow. Originally, they could only grow on dead people, but recently, researchers have developed a nutrient solution that allows the mushrooms to grow tenaciously in frozen soil. Although they don't grow as well as they do with nutrients provided by the human body, they can still be grown.
Hai Dong said that he will soon start recruiting people to grow mushrooms. There are no requirements, as long as they don't have trypophobia. Moreover, growing mushrooms is not difficult; all they need to do is water them with a layer of frozen soil every day.
This batch of mushrooms will be ripe soon, and we'll have fresh mushrooms to eat right here at the base.
Xia He looked at the pile of mushrooms and couldn't help but get goosebumps. It was hard to imagine what her taste buds would feel like if she put these things in her mouth.
However, given that all the plants have died, having fresh mushrooms to eat is already quite good.
In her past life, Xia He ate mud and gnawed on tree bark; being able to see fresh mushrooms in this life is a kind of progress.
However, Xia He now disdains eating these mushrooms. After all, she is living a good life, and with Xiao Lin covering for her, she can eat whatever she wants whenever she wants, so she has no worries.
She had been worried that her fortress secrets might be discovered after her neighborhood was requisitioned as an official base, but now everything was fine. With Xiao Lin protecting her, she could finally relax and rest easy.
After walking around for a while, Xia He felt that the base was not bad. At least it was orderly, and the security of the storage areas was quite guaranteed. She wasn't worried about security issues, since there were so many soldiers there.
So Xia He took the two little ones for a casual stroll and then prepared to go back. On the way back, they happened to run into Dr. Qian.
Dr. Qian saw Xia He and said, "Xia, I haven't seen you for the past few days. Where are you staying now? I was thinking of asking you to stay with me. It's not convenient for a young girl like you to stay with a stranger, but I haven't been able to find you."
Xia He thought Dr. Qian was really too enthusiastic!
Xia He said, "Oh, I've found a place to stay. There's someone in the base who's from my hometown, and he found me a place to stay. He's not a stranger, so I'm quite safe. Dr. Qian, where are you staying now?"
Dr. Qian is, after all, a medical doctor, and given the current scarcity of resources, he is highly valued at the base.
“I now work at the medical station of the base. The base has given me a private room upstairs in the medical station so that it is convenient for me to make house calls.”
Xia He thought it sounded good, so she chatted for a bit and then took the two little ones back home.
