Chapter 72
"Invincible and Powerful Vajra Hand?!" Liu Tuan didn't even think about it and blurted out in exclamation.
Chen Cong turned his head and looked at him with a complicated expression.
I didn’t expect that Liu Tuan is also a martial arts enthusiast.
Liu Tuan himself also felt a little embarrassed.
He put his fist to his nose to cover it up, coughed, and asked, "Xiao Shen, do you have a supernatural power as well?"
"I think so." Chen Cong nodded.
“Gu Kai and I both developed superpowers at the same time, but his wood-related superpower is helpful for clearing wasteland and farming, so we said it.
I am like this…” Chen Cong spread his hands: “It seems to be useless.”
Nothing useful?!
Liu Tuan’s eyes almost popped out.
He turned his head to look at the iron rods that were squeezed into a ball, and then looked at Chen Cong's thin white hands. Even though he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt like it was a dream.
It is simply unbelievable that such a pair of hands could bend such a thick iron rod to such an extent.
How much strength and ability does this require?
She actually thought it was useless?
Seeing Liu Tuan's face full of envy, depression, and an expression that seemed like he wanted to say something but couldn't, Gu Kai smiled, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
He patted Chen Cong and said softly, "Fix the window."
Shen Cong let out an "Oh", walked back to the window, and put the iron bars back in place one by one.
In order to avoid being noticed, she used her hands to reshape each of them one by one to make them look straighter.
The iron rod, as thick as a fingertip, was like plasticine for a child in Shen Cong's hands, allowing her to knead and pinch it as she pleased.
As a soldier, how can you not admire the strong?
Chen Cong's move directly shocked Liu Tuan!
He felt itchy inside just by watching it, as if he was being scratched by a hundred claws.
Seeing him like this, Gu Kai comforted him, "This ability is not unique. It doesn't mean that just because we have it, others won't have it. Liu Tuan, if you practice hard for a while according to my father's method, you might have a chance too."
Liu Tuan was immediately interested after hearing this.
He sat down next to Gu Kai, his eyes shining: "Little Gu, shall we have a chat?"
He already believed it when Gu Kai told him just now.
But no matter how much you believe it, nothing can be more shocking and impressive than seeing the use of supernatural powers with your own eyes again.
At this time, Gu Kai said that it was not impossible for him, and Liu Tuan's interest suddenly reached its highest point.
He just wished he could ask Gu Kai to give him a practice plan right now so that he could have the chance to try it himself.
-
When the three men came out of Captain Liu's office, Captain Lin was already waiting outside.
He ran back to the city to buy seeds yesterday.
As one of the few people in the regiment who knows about the formation, Battalion Commander Lin was so excited yesterday that he didn't sleep all night when he heard that the guests were willing to grow seedlings for the newly bought wheat seeds for their battalion.
He got up before five in the morning because he thought that since he was raising seedlings, it would be better to plant the seeds directly in the seedling boxes. This would make it convenient for him to bring them back and for transplanting in the future.
So he squatted in the room alone, grunting and filling all the 300 seedling boxes he had bought with nutrient soil, and arranged them neatly in the room.
They didn't stop until there was no space left in the room of the guesthouse where he lived.
By the time he finished all these, it was time for exercise.
Speaking of which, Captain Lin is on a business trip right now, so he doesn't need to participate in the drill.
But he was afraid that the leader would change his mind!
So Baba followed and ran several laps.
Seeing that the drill was about to end, he was about to go over to ask about the situation when the team leader was "kidnapped" by the two guests.
Then Captain Lin came over and stood guard at the office door, refusing to move no matter what anyone said.
When Captain Liu saw Captain Lin, he immediately understood why he followed him.
He pointed his hand at him twice with amusement, then introduced the two parties.
Finally, he smiled and said, "Xiao Lin, you have to thank Gu Kai very much. It was he who took the initiative to offer to help you grow seedlings today. If there is anything you don't understand, please ask for his advice. You will never get it again if you miss it!"
"Of course, of course." Captain Lin nodded repeatedly.
He looked at Gu Kai with gratitude: "Brother Gu, you have helped us a lot this time."
"Not really, let's just help each other. Before, our family lived in the camp, and it caused you a lot of trouble."
At this point, Gu Kai smiled and said, "We ate a lot of the rations in the camp, right?"
“No, no.” Captain Lin waved his hands hurriedly: “Isn’t that as it should be? We all remember the help you and Mr. Gu gave us, and we won’t forget it.”
"Okay, let's stop being polite. Have you prepared your things? Take me to see them first." Gu Kai pointed outside and said.
"Let's go eat first?" Captain Lin was a little hesitant.
After saying that, he looked at the captain standing aside.
Gu Kai also looked over and explained, "Captain Liu, I'll go check it out with Captain Lin first. I think he's in a hurry to go back."
Although Captain Lin did not say it explicitly, there was no need to say it.
Nowadays, food is supplied per capita everywhere, and the army is no exception.
Captain Lin must have brought rations with him when he came to the city yesterday, but his plan at the time was to return to the barracks at night, so he naturally would not prepare rations for today.
If it was any later, not only would Captain Lin have to go hungry in the morning, but he would also miss the camp's lunch.
Why should I be afraid of eating late? It's not good to let others go hungry for two meals.
So when he saw Captain Lin, Gu Kai had already decided to help him grow seedlings first.
Since he had already brought it up, Liu Tuan naturally wouldn't object.
Anyway, the canteen was not far from the guesthouse, so they walked there together.
After entering the door, Captain Lin handed over the seeds he had bought.
The seeds were all packed in small cloth bags.
Gu Kai grabbed a handful.
When his hand touched the seeds, he was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fist, held the seeds in his palm, and experienced it with his heart.
The other three people all stood aside, not knowing what he was doing.
Captain Lin and Captain Liu exchanged a puzzled look, but Chen Cong took out the formation plate from his bag.
Because he didn't want to disturb Gu Kai, Chen Cong put the formation plate aside.
But even so, Gu Kai still felt it.
He opened his eyes, looked at his wife, and then flattened his palms.
Gu Kai used his fingers to pick out the seeds in the palm of his hand, and then picked out almost half of them.
He put the selected seeds aside and said, "These are not very good, let's not use them for now."
This sentence surprised the other two people.
All of these seeds were picked out bit by bit by Captain Lin, and they were originally selected by the seed company and were of the highest quality.
I didn't expect that half of them couldn't be used!
He quickly approached the seeds and took a closer look, but he couldn't make any sense of them.
At least in his eyes, these looked exactly the same as those left by Gu Kai.
Gu Kai did not explain.
In fact, he himself couldn't explain what was going on. After all, this was only the second day since he had acquired superpowers.
He could only say that when he touched the seeds, he could immediately feel the difference in the vitality in them.
Although they all looked the same, the ones he picked out were completely lifeless and had no activity at all.
Gu Kai felt that even if these seeds were planted, they would not grow well.
Gu Kai put the seeds in his hand into the small seedling box one by one.
Seeing that he was moving slowly, Shen Cong reached out and took half of it from him.
The other two people also wanted to help, but were afraid that they might not do a good job and end up making things worse, so they all stood aside and watched, not daring to move.
Fortunately, there were not too many seedling boxes in the house, and the couple quickly finished it.
Gu Kai stood in the middle of the room, scanning all the boxes.
I didn't see him make any movements, nor did he do any initial moves, but the seedlings had already broken through the soil.
Gu Kai took a look and couldn't figure out whether it was because the quality of the seeds was mediocre or because his ability was not strong enough.
These newly grown seedlings look a little thin, and the new sprouts are a little yellow, as if they have never seen the sun.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and scanned all the young seedlings again.
This time, the people standing nearby felt it. They clearly felt a cool air current surging around them.
There was also some fog in the room that seemed to have substance.
Even the soil in the seedling box, which was originally a little dry, became moist at this time.
While everyone was still shocked by this change, the newly grown wheat seedlings turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even began to grow...
Watch it grow!
Captain Lin's eyes turned red.
You have to know that in such hot weather, the biggest problem in planting is seedling cultivation.
Their camp put in a lot of effort and used so many methods to make the seeds germinate.
Up to now, the germination rate of vegetables has been guaranteed to a certain extent, but the germination rate of grain crops is really low, so low that it is completely impossible to grow them in large quantities.
Now that he saw with his own eyes that Gu Kai had solved the problem that had troubled them for such a long time at such a fast speed, how could he not be excited?
Of course, in addition to excitement, there are many other emotions.
Captain Liu's mood was not much calmer than Captain Lin's.
Captain Lin is only thinking about the land of their camp, but Captain Liu is thinking about the entire Bac Ninh area!
Looking at the green wheat seedlings in the house, he even felt that he had seen the scene of a bumper harvest!
But Chen Cong didn't think as much as they thought. She only saw that Gu Kai's face was becoming paler and paler.
"Okay, let's stop here for today. Gu Kai needs to rest."
Without waiting for the two men to make any further requests, she spoke bluntly.
As he spoke, he reached out and held Gu Kai's slightly cold hand.
At this time, the room became much cooler than outside because of the remaining spiritual power.
But after all, the temperature is here, it can't be enough to make people's hands and feet become cold.
Feeling her husband's hands getting colder, Chen Cong began to worry.
This is obviously due to excessive use of mental energy!
She quickly supported him with both hands.
Gu Kai leaned against his wife, and although he tried hard to keep standing, his effort was clearly felt.
Noticing Chen Cong's eyes, he gently comforted her, "I'm fine."
Then he looked at the other two people and said calmly, "Captain Liu, Captain Lin, let's leave it at that for today. I'm a little tired and need to go and rest first."
Those two people had already seen that something was wrong with Gu Kai, so how could they not agree?
Both of them looked guilty, and Liu Tuan wanted to reach out to help Shen Cong hold him up, but Gu Kai waved his hand to avoid him.
The couple returned to their room without even having breakfast.
After entering the room, Chen Cong couldn't wait to tell his father-in-law, so he took out the essence stone in his space and set up a formation in the room.
When that rich mental power surged out, Gu Kai's face finally looked better.
Neither of them left the room that morning. The old man came over to check on them, and left after seeing that they were fine.
Today he will go to the group's farming base with Liu Tuan and others to take a look.
At noon, the canteen staff delivered the meal to the door, and Chen Cong went out to get it.
I found out that what was delivered were actually two dishes and two meals.
The dishes were luncheon meat stewed with tofu and fried sausage with garlic sprouts, and the rice was steamed white flour buns and two-grain rice made by steaming rice and millet together.
Not only ordinary people, but even senior leaders would not be able to enjoy such a meal.
This is enough to prove how much effort Liu Tuan and his team put in.
After a morning of adjustment, Gu Kai's condition finally improved.
Seeing his wife staring at him intently, as if she was afraid something might happen to him, Gu Kai lowered his head in embarrassment and apologized quietly: "I know I was wrong, and I won't be so reckless next time."
Today I do blame him.
Although he had just activated his supernatural powers and was not yet proficient in using them, he should have stopped immediately when he felt the power was disconnected.
If he didn't continue after the first successful stimulation, his body would have suffered such great damage.
There was a moment just now when Gu Kai really felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.
Shen Cong was very unhappy about her husband's excessive use of his supernatural powers.
But he looked half dead just now, so she couldn't vent her anger even if she was angry.
Things seemed to be getting better and I was about to get angry, but this guy admitted his mistake first.
She was so blocked that she couldn't say anything she wanted to say.
Chen Cong was furious. She picked up a piece of tofu and stuffed it directly into Gu Kai's mouth: "Shut up! It's always like this. You admit your mistakes very quickly and refuse to repent until you are caught.
Gu Kai, let me tell you, this is the first time. If you do this again, I will take care of you!"
Seeing his wife looking crazy, a faint smile flashed in Gu Kai's eyes.
But he also knew that Chen Cong was really angry. Even though he knew that his wife treated him well in her heart, he didn't dare to say anything at this moment.
He has always been a bad talker, and the more angry Chen Cong gets, the less he knows how to comfort him.
I can only sit there and listen to the scolding.
Then, from time to time, he would pick up some food with his chopsticks and put it in her bowl when she wasn't paying attention.
After a while, a small mountain of liquid formed in the bowl.
"It's no use trying to shut me up. It won't happen again anyway!"
"Not again, I promise."
Seeing that his wife had finally finished speaking, Gu Kai let out a sigh of relief and quickly promised.
Seeing him like this, Chen Cong lost his temper and could only snort and say, "Don't think I'm exaggerating. Your superpowers have just been activated and this is the most unstable time. You can't make any mistakes at this time, otherwise you will suffer great punishment."
In her previous life, when her special abilities were just stimulated, no one taught her or told her the correct way to use them, so she could only explore them little by little on her own.
At that time, Chen Cong had no idea what over-consumption meant. He just wanted to practice more, and then would the space be expanded a little bit?
If the space is big enough, she can go to the city to find work and help others transport things.
The rations obtained from this kind of work are much better than those provided by the government.
So for several days in a row, Chen Cong practiced repeatedly at home by putting things in and out of the space.
Although the things she could put in there were only some furniture, which were not very heavy or big, she could not keep up the energy after doing it so many times.
One day she finally exhausted all her energy, and then she felt a sharp pain in her head.
The pain was something she had never experienced before. It was as if many hands were holding needles and stabbing them into her forehead, making her feel like she was suffering from the pain.
The clothes were instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Chen Cong didn't remember how he fainted, but the pain he felt after waking up was deeply engraved in his memory.
From then on, she never dared to over-consume her mental energy again.
She originally wanted to tell Gu Kai about this, but she hadn't found the opportunity yet.
Who would have thought that this person had already put it into practice before she even said it.
How could Chen Cong not be angry?
After listening to his wife's words, Gu Kai recalled and said, "I don't have that feeling.
Maybe it was because of the formation disk next to me, I just felt a little powerless later, and felt a little dizzy when I tried to concentrate. Other than that, I didn't feel anything else.
If I was really uncomfortable, I wouldn’t dare to continue.”
"You can't try that again!" Shen Cong glared at him.
"Okay, I won't try." Gu Kai replied with a smile.
Tuan Liu took the old man to the base, and Battalion Commander Lin returned to the camp. The couple had nothing else to do in the afternoon.
So the two of them discussed going back to Fulin.
After leaving the regiment headquarters, they found a remote place and took out the electric car.
It has been half a year since the earthquake, but the road in the community has not yet been repaired.
Not to mention electric bikes, even a tricycle is difficult to ride because there are gravels everywhere.
But Beining is different from that place.
The damage the earthquake brought to Bac Ninh was catastrophic, but it is, after all, a large and highly modernized city.
There are still quite a few roads that have not been completely destroyed.
After another half year of renovation, many places are now open to traffic.
In Liu Tuan's words, "From the end of this year to the beginning of next year, the city will focus on repairing dead-end roads so that the traffic in the entire city can be connected."
If that time really comes, I think economic recovery will be just around the corner.
The two of them were driving and had the energy to look at the scenery outside the window.
Then they were delighted to find that there were lights inside some large buildings.
Because many factories were destroyed, the economic environment of Bac Ninh as a whole has regressed by several decades, if not a hundred years.
Public welfare enterprises such as power plants and water plants have been unable to resume production.
So when they saw the lights, there was no way they couldn't help but be surprised.
"It seems that Jiashu is right. The city's power supply is slowly recovering. Hey, when do you think the electricity supply for the elevators in our community can be guaranteed?" Chen Cong asked.
"I don't think it will take a while. We have to ensure production first." Gu Kai replied.
"I think so too." Shen Cong sighed.
From what Liu Tuan said, he was not going to let them return to the community, and they were mentally prepared for this.
But if they stayed in the city, they didn't want to live in the regiment's guesthouse all the time. How could that be a permanent place to live?
If possible, they would certainly like to go back home and live.
But when he thought about having to climb the 19th floor every day, Chen Cong felt full of resistance.
Not only do you have to climb the stairs, you also have to carry water upstairs...
Even if she has space, she still has to go up and down many times a day just to pretend!
Whenever she thought of this, she had the urge to stay in the guesthouse for a while.
The car could not go any further when it reached the ruins outside the gate of Fulin Community.
Fortunately, the ruins were large enough to be seen from a distance, so when they came across a deserted place on the road, the two of them parked the car and walked over.
After such a long time, the two of them were almost forgetting the path that the person they paid to take them on in the first place.
And at this moment, there was no one to ask for directions.
The two people could only walk back and forth in the ruins based on their memories, hoping to be lucky enough to get there directly.
Fortunately, this road should be frequently walked now, so there are always more traces on the road. Following those traces, they found the previous family compound without much trouble.
We also found the vacant houses.
"We should be there if we go through there." Gu Kai pointed to a collapsed residential building not far away.
Chen Cong also knew that place. She nodded and quickened her pace.
When the two men were about to arrive, a man not far away came towards them holding a washbasin.
When he saw them, the man stopped.
Then he just stood there, staring at them, his eyes full of disbelief.
Chen Cong and Gu Kai had already found the way home and had no intention of asking anyone else, so they didn't pay attention to the person standing next to them and didn't even look at him.
Just as they were about to pass each other, the man spoke.
He called out, “Brother Gu, Sister Shen?”
Gu Kai and Shen Cong stopped at the same time.
They turned around to look at the man, and their faces changed at the same time, becoming stern.
But the man seemed to be completely unaware of their emotions. He put the basin on the ground and walked towards them.
As he walked, he introduced himself loudly: "Brother Gu, Sister Chen, do you remember me? I am Xu Bin, a friend of Sun Qing, and I have been to your house before.
I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence! Are you passing by here or something? Do you need me to show you the way?"
When he was standing there just now, the couple didn't notice him. When he came over, they found that he was walking with a limp and his right leg was obviously disabled.
The area below the calf is stiff and completely immobile.
The two men stood there without moving, their eyes on guard.
But Xu Bin seemed to have seen nothing. He had a smile on his face and was very enthusiastic.
"The road here is difficult to walk. Brother Gu, Sister Chen, why are you here? I haven't seen you here before.
Where are you going? To the neighborhood in front? I'll take you there. I'm familiar with this road."
“No need, we don’t know you well.” Shen Cong said coldly.
The author has something to say:
