Chapter 76 Chapter 76 In short, it is "burning money". ……
Unlike the ambiguous "sort of" when asked about Xu Ziyue before, this Comrade Jiang Zixing actually comes from the military and is a communications soldier.
The mutant bird he brought was an eagle that he had raised himself to use for delivering messages in special circumstances.
After the mutation, he still performed the duties of a messenger. This time he traveled all the way south from the north to find surviving evolvers and convey some important information.
The first is that several major cities in the north have established shelters and have supplies to ensure safety.
The second is that they discovered that the meat of some low-level mutant animals is edible, and improvements to soil and water quality are also under study.
Finally, there is all kinds of information about the mutants, such as the rhenium stone and rhenium crystal in their bodies, their rapid evolution speed, the higher the level, the higher the IQ, etc.
In addition, there is another speculation that should not have been spread, which made the survivors panic.
——The mutants may be creating a king.
This speculation is not made out of thin air, but is inferred from some real and strange behaviors.
"It was in Yi City, Hui Province. At that time, the mutants fought each other and almost destroyed half of the city. The evolvers hiding outside the city thought they could take back the city after both sides were defeated. But they suddenly united and chased the evolvers around them. Only a few with special skills escaped. Since then, Yi City has become a ghost town with no way out. No one dares to approach it easily."
This happened more than half a month ago. No one knows what happened in Yi City during this period, or what the situation of the mutants is.
The only inference is that they may have begun to form a group and support the most powerful one among them as the king.
The reason why Jiang Zixing mentioned this incident was that he had seen too many incredible things during the two days he stayed on the farm.
In addition, I have heard about the great achievements of the farmer here, Ye Mian, in fighting against mutants in the past few months.
He thought that since Ye Mian was willing to participate in the battle against mutants, and not just want to stay in this magical farm and ignore the world, then perhaps he could seek her help.
But Ye Mian poured a basin of cold water on him without even thinking about it.
"If it is really what you speculated about, creating a king, then the only advice I can give you is to hide. The farther away the better."
Jiang Zixing was stunned for a moment. Although he was a little disappointed, he quickly realized that this was Ye Mian's experience. Unlike them, they entered the shelter too early and rarely went out to collect supplies. So far, they have not yet had a head-on confrontation with advanced mutants.
Those who really encountered and fought against them were all dead.
High-level mutants are already difficult to deal with, let alone a king who can rule an entire city.
"However," Ye Mian changed the subject, "It's not that there is no chance at all. You should have met Captain Wen, right?"
"Yes."
"Their team has a lot of combat experience. You can go and learn from them. As for the other things you can do, it's to train more and improve your skills. In short, you have to race with the mutants and surpass them in terms of intelligence and strength."
Ye Mian looked calm: "The battle with mutants will end one day, it just takes a lot of time, and we need to learn to calmly accept the heavy price that war brings."
Her uniqueness will become increasingly insignificant. Even if she can help to explore some secret information, when it comes to the battlefield where the situation changes rapidly, these evolvers can only rely on their own strength and adaptability in the end.
Jiang Zixing nodded: "I understand."
Seeing that although his expression was somewhat heavy, he had really thought it through and knew that there was no such thing as a shortcut, Ye Mian slowed down his tone and spoke instead.
"In fact, every evolver can contribute to this war, and you are no exception."
Being praised suddenly, Jiang Zixing couldn't help but sit up straighter. He couldn't agree more in his heart, but he looked modest on the surface: "No, no, I don't have any combat power and can only pass messages or something. Feifan can actually deal with some low-level mutants."
Ye Mian asked, "Your skills should not be limited to taming a mutant beast, right?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Zixing was a little embarrassed: "Well, although I can tame multiple birds and beasts, the birds and beasts I tame will only get close to me and will not obey the orders of others."
"It doesn't matter, just tame it and leave the rest to me."
"ah?"
Ye Mian did what he said and stood up directly: "Forget about those running on the ground, let's tame a few more mutant birds!"
"ah???"
Jiang Zixing was taken out of the farm in a complete bewilderment. He rode Feifan in the sky, while Ye Mian, who was leading the way, moved instantly on the ground, and soon arrived at the nearby forest.
"Okay, you can start now."
As soon as he landed, Ye Mian walked to the side and waited. His skill [Beast Taming] was different from the system's taming. The latter could only tame mutant beasts when encountered, but he could lure them and tame them through special methods.
Although Jiang Zixing was not aware of Ye Mian's plan, he thought that he should give Ye Mian some reward since he had been eating and drinking for free on the farm for two days. So he thought for a moment, activated his skill and whistled.
Although the area near the farm is not as mountainous as the industrial park, it is still connected by mountains and forests. Because they are afraid of the farm's protection network, they all hide deep inside.
All I heard was a rhythmic whistle that spread around like a breeze, and soon there were some rustling noises coming from the woods.
"ah--"
Following a loud bird cry, a snow-white mutant bird flew over first, circling around Ye Mian and Jiang Zixing, seemingly unwilling to be tamed.
But now that it has come, it has no choice but to leave or stay.
Ye Mian moved directly to its back, holding on to its weak point and refusing to let go. In front of Jiang Zixing's surprised gaze, he took it for his own use without any hesitation.
This was repeated many times. After Ye Mian raised his hand to indicate that it was enough, Jiang Zixing stopped using his skills and dismissed the mutant beasts that Ye Mian didn't want on the spot.
After that, when he returned to the farm and saw Ye Mian commanding those mutant birds to get close to other people, and even taking anyone for a fly, he became even more stunned.
After all, he never thought that he would be intercepted when using his skills, and he never thought that the tamed mutant birds could become a public means of transportation.
That was why, when Ye Mian again suggested that he stay for a few more days to try to tame a few more mutant birds, Jiang Zixing couldn't help but agree.
As for the matter of delivering the letter, he was easily persuaded - there were many mutant birds that could be used, and the messages could be delivered separately, and perhaps even faster.
One of Ye Mian's purposes of keeping Jiang Zixing was indeed to get more flying vehicles. Another purpose was to let him have a deeper understanding of the farm's material output during these few days. When he took the flyers to expand the customer base, he would be able to gain more trust through personal experience.
Then there were the things she was almost done, which he could take along as well.
The few days on the farm were no more than one or two days compared to the outside world. After Jiang Zixing left and several new employees who had joined the field team went out to deliver letters, Wen Yuan, who was ready to set off for Yan City, came to the farm again.
He still brought a lot of people with him, but they were all new faces, and they went straight to the Dream Coffee Shop as soon as they arrived.
He went to the lounge with Ye Mian to talk.
Ye Mian delivered the specific information of Yan City to the industrial park as early as the next day after she came back. In addition to some locations and weaknesses she had discovered, there was also the quantity and strength that Pei Ming and Ning Zixiu had sensed.
——If you don’t explore, you won’t know. This exploration revealed that the situation in Yan City is actually better than that in Li City. There are only two advanced mutants, and there are very clear boundaries between them, and they do not interfere with each other.
Later, Ye Mian thought that this was probably because there was a special mutant like Li Meng, who squeezed the evolutionary space of other mutants, leading to this situation.
Even if he pretended to be a normal human in front of Tong Xinyan, he was just deceiving himself. The only condition for the evolution of mutants was to devour their own kind. His S++ danger rating was not obtained for nothing.
"This time it should be easier than expected, so I won't go, but I can sponsor a few new props made by Qi Yao for free."
Wen Yuan just looked at her, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
Then he talked about the good news that he hadn't been able to mention during their last hurried meeting - they had found a piece of natural rhenium crystal. Although the quantity was not large, there were still several hundred pieces.
The points exchanged according to different qualities and weights would cost more than 100,000.
Needless to say, the final destination of these rhenium crystals is of course the farm.
While Ye Mian was happy, he also felt relieved. The successive discoveries of new natural rhenium crystals meant that there would be more in the future.
It’s not that she is so greedy for money, but ever since she built a workshop for scientific research, both the rhenium crystals and points have flowed away like water before they can even get warm in her hands.
Especially since Tong Xinyan came, she has to continue researching water purification while making medicine, which requires not only enough rhenium crystals, but also requires spending points to purchase some other materials.
In comparison, the points spent on planting and construction are nothing more than a piece of cake.
Moreover, the results of scientific research cannot fully recover the costs in a short period of time, so we can only fill it in now.
Thinking of this, Ye Mian brought up the issue of purifying the water source, intending to grab the rhenium crystal in Wen Yuan's hands first.
Ren Wenyuan did not expect that the water quality problem could be solved so quickly. He was more surprised than happy and was unable to reply for a while.
"But there is a problem," Ye Mian paused, "that substance can only purify a part of the water. If you need to use it continuously and in large quantities, you have to keep investing. But don't worry, she has a way for you to distinguish whether the water is polluted or not."
In short, it means "burning money".
But because there are so many of them, if you really calculate it, it is still more cost-effective than buying water from another farm.
Wen Yuan did not think about the cost issue. After all, purifying water resources not only allows people in the industrial park to use water, but is also an inspiring existence. If the water quality can be solved, then the soil quality will also have a chance.
With hope, even if it is just a temporary solution, it can make people work harder and move forward.
"Is she the owner of that experimental record?"
"right."
Seeing the subtle changes in Wen Yuan's eyes, Ye Mian knew that he must be thinking of the experimental subject, Li Meng.
According to Tong Xinyan, the reorganization of Li Meng will not only take some time, but also require more power, so it should leave Yanshi temporarily.
But he will definitely come back to seek revenge on them both in the future.
However, Li Meng may not be an exception.
There may be a second or third Li Meng.
Such a tricky special mutant is difficult to deal with on the one hand, but more importantly, it may cause even more serious casualties.
"Oh, and this," Ye Mian took out something, interrupting the brief solemn atmosphere, "The conditions were limited, so it was made rather crudely, and it doesn't have many functions."
"For now, we can only make calls, take photos, and locate and warn."
