Chapter 130

The smell of garlic is not toxic to the human body.

However, its smell has the property of driving away resentment, and these humans who have lived on Hell Star for a long time have been more or less corroded by resentment.

So when too much gas released by garlic is inhaled in a short period of time, the resentment accumulated in the human body conflicts with it, causing the inhaler to faint.

After staying away from the greenhouse and the smell of garlic, the three growers who fainted first slowly woke up.

Cen Liang took the water handed to him by his colleague, drank a sip, and finally recovered.

"What happened to me just now?"

He recalled what happened before he fainted, and then he remembered the scene of the leaves of the small spiritual garlic suddenly standing up, and his face showed surprise.

"The mutant garlic has awakened?" he asked anxiously.

"Yes."

The colleague who delivered water to him, named Qiao Li, nodded and said, "The mutant garlic awakened and released a strong smell. You were all suffocated."

At this point, she couldn't help but look at the young man who was standing by the window to enjoy the scenery, and hesitantly said, "Except for Su the breeder."

Cen Liang blinked and looked at the breeder who entered the greenhouse with them. This breeder was called Meng Xuedong, and he had also woken up.

At this moment, he was looking at Su Ci with a strange look, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I remember that Lao Meng wore a gas mask?" Cen Liang said.

Could it be that the smell of the mutated garlic has become more severe, and now even the gas mask can't block it?

"Yes, he wore it." Qiao Li nodded, but she didn't agree with Cen Liang's point of view, "Maybe the mask was not worn tightly? The person who went in to carry you out didn't faint."

"Bullshit!" Meng Xuedong finally turned his head, "I am the most disciplined, unlike you guys? You don't wear protective clothing or masks!"

Qiao Li was not afraid of him and directly retorted, "But the Su breeder didn't faint!"

Meng Xuedong was silent immediately.

Yes, why did he faint, but the Su breeder could still stand well?

He remembered the scene he saw in the greenhouse.

The young man stood in front of the mutant garlic, with his fair and slender hand slightly raised in the air, and then the originally wilted garlic sprout suddenly raised a leaf and took the initiative to touch his finger, and then the whole garlic sprout woke up instantly as if it had been injected with chicken blood -

he was definitely not mistaken, it was indeed the mutant garlic that took the initiative to touch the trainee breeder's finger!

Although this is really incredible, plants... How could they have self-awareness?

Although such a view is indeed circulating in the cultivation circle of Hell Star, Meng Xuedong has always maintained a skeptical attitude, but what he saw with his own eyes today has shaken his idea.

Does this mutant garlic sprout really have self-awareness? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence...

Meng Xuedong remembered what Cen Liang had said to him - this trainee breeder Su Ci is likely to be the owner of a plant bloodline.

"Keeper Su, can you communicate with that mutant garlic?" Meng Xuedong couldn't care less, he stared at Su Ci and asked directly.

Su Ci withdrew his gaze from the window and turned his head to look at him.

But before he could answer, the alarm sounded.

"Warning, warning, an accident of unknown cause occurred in greenhouse No. 237. All 28 growers and visitors from base 26 are in a coma."

"At present, robots have been dispatched to transfer the injured to rest rooms No. 1 and No. 3, and the medical purification department and the action team have been notified to handle it. Please ask growers who are conscious to check it out in case of emergencies."

Hearing the alarm, everyone in rest room No. 2, except Su Ci, was shocked.

"Could it be that the mutant garlic has evolved to be aggressive?" Zhuang Shisong looked at Su Ci and asked nervously.

So far, there are very few mutant green plants that are not aggressive. The mutant garlic just has a stronger smell, which has always been the reason for the growers of base 24 to be thankful.

However, after waking up, the mutated garlic caused at least thirty people to lose consciousness at once! This is a very serious accident!

Moreover, the visitors to Base 26 should also include members of the Base 26 Action Team. The Action Team is basically composed of people with special abilities. As a result, even the members of the Action Team were not spared?

Su Ci did not expect that after he left, the small garlic would cause such a big commotion.

However, he still shook his head and said, "It is probably because the smell is too strong."

Cen Liang has urgently checked the surveillance video of Greenhouse No. 237. He can see on the screen that the robot is transferring the fainted personnel.

In the greenhouse, the garlic sprouts shrunk to only a dozen centimeters long, with leaves stretched out, verdant and juicy, and a layer of soft light all over the body, with a transparent texture like jade.

There was no wind in the greenhouse, but the leaves of the small garlic sprouts were swaying gently, and just through the image, one could seem to feel a sense of happiness.

Seeing that the mutated garlic was indeed fine, Cen Liang went back a few minutes, and then saw that the door of the greenhouse was not opened... and the people outside fell one after another.

Among them, there were even two fully armed garden directors and Yun Zixu who also wore a gas mask!

"It seems that this garlic smell... has really advanced." Cen Liang said with a complicated expression.

Yun Zixu was the first to wake up among all the people.

When he recalled what happened before he fainted, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief.

He, the captain of the 26th Base Action Team, actually fainted in just a few seconds in the smell of garlic?

Although the smell of garlic was really unusually strong, so strong that it was suffocating, Yun Zixu still found it unacceptable.

Especially when he found that Yan Ping was standing not far from him, checking the surveillance video at that time.

Yun Zixu jumped up and walked over there.

Noticing his approach, Yan Ping turned his head to look at him and said calmly: "Are you awake? How do you feel?"

Yun Zixu, who was still thinking about how to save his face, was slightly stunned after hearing this, because he realized belatedly -

damn, he felt very energetic!

Refreshed, he hasn't been this good in many years!

"What's wrong?" Yan Ping stretched out his hand and waved in front of him.

People who were unconscious and fainted had been examined, and all their signs were normal, so Yan Ping was not too worried. However, looking at Yun Zixu's expression, he didn't look like there was no problem.

"Nothing, I feel great now!" Yun Zixu shook his head and looked at his own director. When he found that he was still unconscious, he retracted his gaze.

"Where is the mutant garlic? I heard it has awakened?" He asked Yan Ping again, "How is it now?"

Yan Ping looked at him suspiciously, then said, "It's in good condition, but it has been emitting a strong smell of garlic. The area around it has been blocked off, and only robots can enter at present."

Although the awake cultivators are trying to get closer, it seems that the results are minimal.

Because no matter how high the protection level of the gas mask is, no matter how tightly you wrap yourself, as long as you are within a range of 20 meters, no one can resist the strong smell of garlic.

Even in the lounge at this moment, you can smell a faint smell of garlic, this smell... is really intoxicating.

However, Yan Ping already knows the effect of the mutant garlic.

In fact, everyone in their action team already had a bottle of "garlic perfume" in hand, waiting to try it out when the monsters invaded. As a result, Base 24 has been calm recently, but Base 26 sent the news first.

After Yun Zixu and his team arrived, acquaintances from Base 26 contacted him one after another, and even people from other bases asked him about "garlic perfume".

Yan Ping had a hunch that he would have to deal with this garlic smell for a long time in the future.

At this time, Yun Zixu licked his face and approached him, and said softly: "A Ping, that garlic perfume... you should have it, right?"

Yan Ping looked at him coldly.

Yun Zixu didn't take it seriously, and said with a grin, "I won't take your money for nothing, you tell me how many points you want! Universe coins are fine too, name your price."

"The mutant garlic has awakened now, and the garlic perfume should continue to be produced." Yan Ping had to remind him.

Moreover, in addition to the garlic perfume, there will probably be other products coming out, but... they may all be related to the smell of garlic.

Yun Zixu waved his hands, "Even if it will continue to be produced, it will take time. You shouldn't have much stock at your base, right?"

Yan Ping couldn't help but remain silent.

In the past, the combat effect of the garlic perfume was unclear, so it was naturally only equipped to the people in the action team. Now that its function is clear, all front-line combat personnel must be equipped with it.

In addition to the guards, there are also those who often work outdoors, such as maintenance personnel, and the remaining base members must also be given priority.

At least after satisfying the members of this base, there will be surplus before it can be supplied to other bases. This is the rule that all bases on Hell Star have always followed. Otherwise, who will work for you?

Yan Ping pursed his lips, and finally took off the spray on his waist, threw it to Yun Zixu, and said, "For you."

Although it seems a bit too relaxed to think so, Yan Ping just feels that the people of Base 26 should need garlic perfume more than them.

Because Base 24 now has a big boss in charge.

Yun Zixu didn't expect him to be so decisive. He hurriedly caught the spray and looked at him in surprise. "The sun is rising from the west? How can you be so generous?"

Yan Ping couldn't explain and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He waved his hand and said, "You'd better not die."

He stared at the screen and continued to adjust the time of the surveillance video. Then he saw a familiar figure appear on it.

Yan Ping was stunned. Why was the breeder Su here?

Then, he saw the scene in the greenhouse - the mutant garlic, which was originally withered and yellow, suddenly raised a leaf and touched the young man's finger, and then the whole garlic became energetic.

Yan Ping thought of Su Ci's "little hobbies", but he never thought that the awakening of the mutated garlic was also related to this big guy.

"Who is this?" Yun Zixu came over curiously.

Yan Ping was immediately alert and quickly closed the light curtain, then said: "You don't know him even if I tell you."

"No, I really know him!" Yun Zixu quickly caught the key point, "That gray-blue uniform, only the breeders in the brooding house will wear it, right?"

Yan Ping felt for the first time that the design of Hell Star to distinguish between jobs by uniform color was not very good, but Yun Zixu had already guessed it, so he could only nod.

"It is indeed a breeder in the brooding house." Yan Ping said.

"I seem to have heard of him. Is his last name Su and he hasn't passed the probation period yet?" Yun Zixu touched his chin, "But how did he appear in the greenhouse of mutated garlic, and..."

"I don't know about that." Yan Ping didn't want to continue this topic. He also realized that it was inappropriate to check the surveillance in front of Yun Zixu just now.

"You watch here. I'm leaving first." After saying that, he left with his team members without looking back.

Yun Zixu looked at his back as he left, and couldn't help thinking.

While the cultivators were in a mess, Su Ci had already taken A Yan and leisurely boarded the suspended bus.

The purpose of awakening the mutated garlic has been achieved, so there is naturally no need to stay any longer. Although he has plans to develop towards the 26th base, it is not the right time yet.

Anyway, knowing the existence of the little garlic, the 26th and 24th bases will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future, so it won’t be too late to wait and see.

As for when the little garlic will calm down... that can only be left to the people in the cultivation garden.

After all, this little guy's emotions seem to last for quite a long time... Thinking of this, Su Ci was a little amused.

"Su Su, are we going back to the nursery next?" A Yan's voice rang out.

At this moment, there was no one else on the suspended bus except them, so A Yan could speak with confidence.

Su Ci looked out the window, feeling the increasingly weak power of rules. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the river bank."

"Okay." A Yan moved closer to Su Ci.

Then, Su Ci took him and teleported to the river bank.

The bamboo and wormwood planted in the morning had taken root and sprouted under the stimulation of the rich spiritual energy, and had grown tender green leaves.

Artemisia annua is a perennial herb. The whole plant can be used as medicine. It can treat symptoms such as cold, dampness and arthritis. It is a good medicinal material.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is relatively easy to keep. It was very common in the wild before. I didn't expect it to survive in the interstellar era. I just don't know if it has evolved new characteristics after so many years.

As for the water lily in the river, because the spiritual energy in the water is not as sufficient as on the shore, it grows slower. Compared with when it was just planted in the morning, there is not much change.

After Su Ci checked it, he evenly sprinkled the giant spider ashes collected from the Magic Flower Valley on the land on both sides of the river bank, and then used the same method as before to loosen the soil and send the ashes deep into the ground.

These ashes can improve the poor soil and become nutrients for plants.

While Su Ci was busy, A Yan was not idle either. He continued to pick up stones and carved the three formations of water purification, spirit gathering and solidification, and then threw them into the river.

"Boom boom--"

Suddenly, a thunder sounded in the sky.

After the thunder, the originally calm clouds and mists quickly gathered in the sky. Soon, the alarm was also sounded in the 24th base, and the harsh sound came from far away.

The bloody rain weather is coming again.

A Yan looked up at the rapidly forming clouds and mists, and was a little worried.

With the formation of bloody rain weather, the red mist that had gradually dissipated on the other side of the purification barrier was making a comeback.

Su Ci was not worried about this.

Because no matter how much red mist swept in, it would eventually be blocked by the purification barrier and then transformed into spiritual energy to promote plant growth.

However, he looked up at the rapidly gathering and increasingly dark red mist in the sky, and his brows wrinkled slightly.

The blood rain came from the sky, and the purification barrier could not block it.

Once this rain with strong resentment fell, it would have a huge impact on the plants that had just revived on both sides of the river bank, and the land would be polluted again.

Of course, he could hold up the spiritual shield to protect these plants, but would he have to do the same every time extreme weather came in the future?

When there are more and more plants, and the growth area is getting larger and larger, then... with his current weak body, can he still take care of both? Can his strength recover to the level that matches it?

Su Ci is not sure, but for now, he can only take one step at a time.

However, when Su Ci was about to hold up the spirit shield to protect the plants on both sides of the river bank, he heard a hoarse and obscure voice.

"I said--"

Su Ci was startled and looked over.

I saw that A Yan stood up at some point, holding the notebook where he wrote the divine text in his hand. At this moment, the notebook was flipping quickly, and the divine texts lit up and dimmed quickly. The platinum-gold light illuminated A Yan's little face.

The power of rules released from each of these divine texts was very weak, but when they continued to gather together, they condensed into a force that made people nervous.

This force gathered in A Yan's palm, emitting a dazzling platinum-gold light.

A Yan looked at the sky, his hair fluttering in the wind, and the originally dark color seemed to be reflected into platinum gold by the manifestation of the power of rules.

The work manual that was originally hanging quietly on the child's chest had already hidden in the child's clothes, trembling with fear from the powerful pressure.

"A Yan..."

Su Ci looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment.

Under his gaze, the power of rules in A Yan's hand suddenly burst out with a more brilliant and dazzling light, and along with the bright light, the hoarse and harsh voice of the child rang again.

His dark red eyes stared intently, and he uttered only one word.

"Disperse!"

As he said this word, the next moment, the red mist that kept gathering in the sky suddenly stopped.

From extreme movement to extreme stillness, the speed was astonishingly fast.

The thick red mist that seemed to be dripping with blood made waves, as if an unknown monster was roaring unwillingly, but in the end, the bloody mist was torn into pieces by the platinum-gold light.

Just like that, the thick blood-red mist dispersed, and the sky became bright again.

"Rustle-rustle-rustle-rustle-"

After the red mist dissipated, the rain still fell.

But the rain was no longer mixed with resentment, it was just ordinary transparent rain, just like a spring rain that had not come for many years, falling continuously, nourishing the land that had been dry for many years.

"Rustle-rustle-rustle-rustle-"

The sound of the dense rain was like the whisper of a lover in his ear. Su Ci couldn't help but close his eyes. He heard the sigh of joy from the earth.

He didn't open the spirit shield, letting the rain fall on his face, meandering down his body, and finally soaking into the ground under his feet.

Until... he heard a sound of plop.

Su Ci opened his eyes again, flashed to A Yan's side, picked him up from the ground, and held him tightly in his arms.

A Yan did not faint. When Su Ci looked down nervously, he grinned at him, revealing a weak and pale smile.

"Su Su, did I help you?"

The clear voice of a young boy came from the communicator, and it still sounded so peaceful and warm. Su Ci seemed to see the boy of eighteen or nineteen again.

He was smiling at him, weakly, but his eyes were bright, as if just seeing him was enough to make him happy.

The boy's pale lips opened and closed, and the sound could not be heard clearly, but Su Ci could understand his lip shape. He was saying to him:

"Do you like it?" "

What do you like? This rain?"

Su Ci looked up at the sky. The raindrops that were flying down gently fell on his face, as if they were falling into his heart. Like the moistened earth, the moisture silently penetrated into his heart.

He lowered his head again and was about to speak, but the image of the boy disappeared again. In his arms was A Yan who had fainted from exhaustion.

Su Ci pursed his lips. This guy...

He picked up A Yan and disappeared without paying attention to the situation on both sides of the river.

When Su Ci appeared again, he had returned to the nursery.

He carried A Yan into the bathroom, running water to bathe him, and at the same time mobilized his soul power to nourish his body that was once again broken. Su Ci said nothing, with a rare anger on his face.

However, his actions towards A Yan were so gentle, with careful care.

As for the book spirit hybrid...

it had been thrown aside a long time ago. When it sensed the depression of the big boss Su, it trembled and hid itself in the dirty clothes basket, using A Yan's dirty clothes to cover itself.

When A Yan was stuffed into the quilt, fed him a few mouthfuls of magic nectar, and finally saw his face become rosy again, Su Ci's expression eased a little.

He looked at A Yan who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand. Just when he was about to touch the hairy ears on his head, his fingertips finally landed on his face.

The slender white fingers stroked A Yan's eyebrows, and what appeared in front of Su Ci was the illusion of the boy who appeared several times.

In fact, it is not appropriate to call him a boy.

Zhou Yan is not thin, and he looks handsome and heroic, but when he smiles, he looks a little milky, like a cheerful and enthusiastic puppy.

In short, he must be younger than him.

So...

"Zhou Yan, who are you?"

Su Ci looked at the sleeping child and murmured in a low voice. In the end, he couldn't get an answer, so he just shook his head, covered A Yan with the quilt, and got up and left the bedroom.

When Su Ci took off his wet clothes and came out of the bathroom after washing up, he saw the pajamas that A Yan had folded for him this morning on the shelf.

He paused, picked them up, put them on and walked out of the bathroom.

The rain was still falling outside.

Su Ci listened to the sound of the rain and sat down on the sofa. Just when he felt like something was missing, he heard the voice of the intelligent computer.

"Keeper Su, the investigation and report on Senior Researcher Ren Yufei has produced results. Do you want to check it out?"
