The basic structure of the Pharmaceutical Research Association building hasn't changed much; it still has the same cold and impersonal style. However, the materials used have been changed to underground minerals. The entire outer shell is built with underground minerals, which suggests that the acid rain has left a deep impression on the Pharmaceutical Research Association.
Xu Chenfeng led Lin Ruo slowly into the pharmaceutical research association. As they talked, Xu Chenfeng's eyes unconsciously fell on Lin Ruo, but he was thinking about what Lou Zizhou had told him a month ago.
"Lin Ruo used some unknown method to ensure that all the mutated plants on her mountain were completely unharmed. When we flew over the mountain, it was lush and green, showing no signs of having been ravaged by acid rain..."
His expression at that moment must have been priceless. They had combined the strength of an entire base and only managed to save one base, while Lin Ruo had managed to save the entire mountain all by herself? How could he not be shocked?
He was genuinely curious, but he also knew that asking Lin Ruo directly would make her wary of him and push her further away.
Although he is a wood-type ability user, he can revive a mutated plant as long as there is only a small piece of its root remaining, but he can only do so for one plant at a time. However, Lin Ruo managed to preserve so many mutated plants at once.
Lin Ruo is shrouded in mystery. Just when you think you know enough about her strength, she will surprise you again.
Although he also wanted to know how Lin Ruo had done it, he knew that asking would strain their relationship, so he held back his question. However, he couldn't resist his curiosity about Lin Ruo. When he received a report from the superhumans below that Lin Ruo had arrived at the base entrance, he couldn't help but come down and wait for her.
“Miss Lin knows how scarce these mutated plants are after the acid rain. Since Miss Lin is willing to exchange these fruits for us, we naturally cannot be negligent.”
Lin Ruo didn't find anything wrong with what she heard. The level 4 crystal core energy in the person's brain was already half full. Such energy should be able to give birth to many mutated plants. At that time, it might be possible to grow the seeds from these mutated fruits in batches. Although it is unknown whether these mutated plants will still have such effects, there is always hope.
"Miss Lin, please come in. Let's talk inside."
Along the way, the superhumans following behind them all had an expression as if this world was a fantasy. Was this still their taciturn doctor?
Throughout the journey, although he spoke concisely, he kept introducing the current situation of the Pharmaceutical Research Association to Lin Ruo, leaving them virtually no room to interrupt.
“We’ve recently been trying to research new drugs. As you know, Ms. Lin, many aspects of our living environment have changed. For example, the soil can no longer grow crops, and many mutated animals have mutated…”
“We’ve been researching the reasons, trying to change everything back to how it was before. We received news from the B City base that their labs are also doing similar research, and they’ve even been inspired by it…”
The expressions of the group of superhumans behind him were even more indescribable. This was the research direction of their laboratory recently, which was all classified information to their base.
A superhuman accidentally revealed his abilities and was fed mutated plants by the doctor. What is he doing now? Is he rushing to tell people all this? Even if the other person doesn't understand potions, it's still not okay. What if she sells some crucial information to the B City base?
Lin Ruo's eyes flickered slightly when she heard this topic. The changes in soil and seawater should be based on similar principles, right?
She stopped and turned to look at Xu Chenfeng. "Isn't this a secret of your base? Why are you telling me?"
Xu Chenfeng stopped with Lin Ruo, the smile on his lips not disappearing because of Lin Ruo's words, "This is a secret to others, but not to you. The base in City B revealed before that you knew about this."
Lin Ru frowned. Did she know? How did she find out? How come she didn't know?
Having lived through the apocalypse for the past few years, she has read hundreds, if not thousands, of books. Her mind is so cluttered that she is momentarily at a loss for what to do.
While pondering, a sudden thought flashed through her mind. The B City base said she knew? Her eyes widened slightly. Could it be about the Qi family incident? She remembered the document Jiang Yue had sent her before, which mentioned that the Qi family's ancestors gained the ability to foresee the future because of a black stone. At the time, she was wondering if that stone, the crystal core, and the energy that caused these plants and animals to mutate were of the same origin.
Seeing Lin Ruo lower her head and ponder for a moment before her brows relaxed, Xu Chenfeng knew she had thought of something, so he continued, "Previously, the B City base sent people to continuously mine at the Hengshan location and found some things hundreds of meters underground, but the B City base did not reveal what they were."
Hengshan was the place where the Qi family ancestors discovered the black stone. Lin Ruo's heart skipped a beat. She had a premonition that many things seemed to be connected, but she always felt that there were still some veils that had not been lifted.
She composed herself. Whatever breakthroughs the B City base made, it would be a great thing for the world. Take this environmental improvement agent, for example. If it succeeded, the land could be replanted with crops. Even if natural disasters continued, humanity would at least have one more chance to survive.
"I wonder if the doctor has made any breakthroughs in this area? What exactly is in this soil that can cause all the plants planted in it to mutate?"
She had originally planned to elicit the information she wanted to know, but Xu Chenfeng had unexpectedly steered the conversation to this point. Regardless of his intentions, since she could get an answer, she naturally wanted to continue asking the question.
Xu Chenfeng was taken aback at first. Lin Ruo's information did not include any work experience related to pharmaceuticals, so he thought she wouldn't be interested in these things. He had only mentioned the recent cooperation with the B City base to get closer to her.
He had always known that Lin Ruo's relationship with the B City base was delicate, so this could be considered a gesture of goodwill towards Lin Ruo.
Unexpectedly, she was actually interested in these things. He thought that someone as powerful as her should be thinking about how to improve her strength every day, and should only be interested in things that could improve her strength.
Although his mind was racing, Xu Chenfeng still smiled and gave Lin Ruo an answer, "We have indeed made some progress on this, but it is too difficult to find ordinary soil now, so the progress is very limited. We can only speculate based on some previous information."
