Chapter 196
Mo Lin looked at the two flower pots on the balcony, his eyes slightly widened, his expression showing obvious disbelief.
He had served in the 26th base for many years and had long been accustomed to the environment of Hell Star, which was completely devoid of the breath of nature. He was usually busy with official duties and could not go to the plantation, so he had not seen green plants for many years.
Looking at the star chain fruit vines extending from the flower pots and swaying in the air, anyone could feel the vigorous vitality.
This was too different from what he had imagined!
Isn't it said that the environment of Hell Star is not suitable for the growth of ordinary plants, and that plants grown in pots cannot survive at all?
Mo Lin was a little skeptical about life, but he quickly remembered that, yes, these two pots of green plants were brought from the 24th base by the recruit who was familiar with Su the breeder.
It's only been less than a day, and it's still alive. Isn't that normal?
Although he thought so in his heart, when he approached the balcony and the two pots of green plants and felt their vitality up close, he couldn't help but have doubts.
It doesn't look like it's affected by the red mist and is about to die?
Even when I was still in my hometown, it was rare to see green plants growing so well, right?
At this time, he saw the little black cat that had been hiding in the wolf cub's pocket, jumping lightly onto the balcony, its light pink nose twitching slightly, as if it was sniffing the scent of the green plants, and then squinting its eyes and making an expression of enjoyment.
Mo Lin suddenly realized that the air on the balcony was very fresh, and the red mist that filled the surroundings had disappeared.
He could easily tell that it was not because the garlic smell on their bodies drove away the red mist after they entered.
If so, the red mist would not disappear so completely. It would linger around them, waiting for the garlic smell to completely dissipate before rebounding.
But on this small balcony, he did not see any trace of the red mist. Perhaps it did not completely disappear, but the concentration had dropped to a level that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
What on earth was going on?
Mo Lin looked at the two green plants again.
The little black cat squatting beside the flower pot had opened its eyes and turned its face towards Langze. It pointed at the pot of star chain fruit with its slender cat tail and said in a soft voice, "Langze, fertilize."
This was the first time that Mo Lin heard this cub named Zhengxing speak. He once thought that this was a real kitten.
Langze had already responded, and then took out the fertilizer from the spirit storage bag, and poured it into the flower pot after mixing it with clean water according to the amount Zhengxing said.
Obviously, this pot of star chain fruit grew too fast under the stimulation of spiritual energy, and the fertility in the soil was not enough, so additional fertilizer was needed.
As for the small spiritual grass in the other flower pot
, which provided spiritual energy and a suitable growth environment for the star chain fruit, it had grown a lot bigger than this morning, and had differentiated from a small plant into a small cluster, but its condition was not as good as that of the star chain fruit, and its leaves were obviously a little sluggish.
Even Langze could see that there was a problem, and couldn't help asking, "Xingxing, doesn't it need watering and fertilizer?"
Zhengxing "looked" at the small spiritual grass and shook his head.
This little grass was not short of water, but it was short of fertilizer, but the fertilizer it needed was different from that of ordinary plants.
It wouldn't be a problem if it was left alone, because the surrounding red mist had not completely dissipated, and it was gradually spreading over because of the low concentration here, but the speed of diffusion was obviously not as fast as the speed of absorption by the small spiritual grass.
The current concentration of red mist can only barely sustain its life, but if it wants to continue to grow, it needs more "nutrients".
However, if the grass is taken away, the star chain fruit may wither due to contact with the red mist again...
Zhengxing doesn't like the death of green plants.
Just when he decided to leave the two green plants here, he heard Langze say: "It looks so hard for them to stay in such a small pot. Can't they be planted in the ground?"
Looking at the two green plants staying in the pots aggrievedly, Langze directly imagined the days when he was locked in the room, and immediately felt sympathy.
Hearing his sad tone, the little black cat stretched out its tail, first pointed at the spiritual grass, and whispered, "This one is OK."
Then it pointed at the star chain fruit, "This one is not OK."
The soil in the flowerpot was brought from the nursery and has been purified, so it is very suitable for the growth of star chain fruit. If it is transplanted to the land of the 26th base, it will definitely die immediately.
As for the small spiritual grass that feeds on resentment, there is no such worry.
Mo Lin didn't know the reason. He was still observing the two plants when he saw Langze approach him, looking up at him with his green eyes full of expectation.
"Uncle Mo, can we plant this seedling in the ground?"
At this moment, Mo Lin finally understood how Li Sinian felt when the wolf cub pestered him to go back to the nursery.
Who can resist such a cute wolf cub who is acting cute with you?
However, Mo Lin still has some reason.
He said, "The soil of Hell Star is not suitable for planting. If this seedling is planted in the ground, it will wither and die soon."
Langze blinked in confusion, "Jade Star? Isn't our planet called Earth Star?"
Mo Lin was startled, and then he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.
In order to protect these cubs, they didn't know that they were the children of criminals, and they didn't know that the planet they were living on was originally built to detain criminals.
Mo Lin originally supported this policy, and after meeting them, he really liked these cubs.
"Yes, it's Dixing." He smiled, "Sorry, uncle was wrong."
"Oh." Langze didn't care, he continued the topic just now, "Xingxing said there is no problem, it must be okay, don't worry."
"Is Xingxing so amazing?" Mo Lin couldn't help but glance at the little black cat squatting beside the flower pot.
Probably noticing his gaze, the little black cat took two steps forward and hid itself directly in the leaves of the star chain fruit.
"Xingxing is of course amazing!"
Langze said without hesitation, "So can we plant the seedlings in the ground? There is really no problem, the seedlings in our nursery are all planted in the ground, and they grow very well!"
Seeing the wolf cub trying his best, Mo Lin finally nodded.
After all, the order he received was to make these three children happy. As long as they like it, he must do it within the scope of his ability.
However, considering that this is Song Zehe's personal property, before taking action, he still asked the base's intelligent computer to help contact Song Zehe.
Now is Song Zehe's duty time. He is helping to repair the base buildings that were destroyed by the slime monster yesterday. When he received the call, he was still a little confused.
However, he didn't have any opinion on it.
It's not that Song Zehe doesn't cherish these two pots of green plants. The main reason is that he has never planted anything, and these three cubs have been with Su Ci for so long, and their planting experience must be richer than his.
Especially on the way here, the boy named Langze told him that some of the star chain fruits he ate were grown by him and his friends, and they might even have picked them by hand. Song Zehe was in awe at the time. Now
that he heard that they wanted it, he naturally nodded and agreed quickly.
With Song Zehe's approval, Langze immediately started to work with great interest.
Not to mention, the cubs' soul storage bags were full of planting tools, not only fertilizer sprayers, but also shovels and shovels, all made by A Yan.
Langze has indeed accumulated experience in planting.
He took out a cup, which was actually a snack box. After eating, he thought the cup was beautiful and kept it. He didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment. He
put some soil in the small cup, and then under Zhengxing's command, Langze carefully shoveled out the small spiritual grass.
He was already very skilled at this kind of transplantation work, and under Zhengxing's command, the small spiritual grass would not be hurt at all.
However, after putting it in the cup, Langze followed Zhengxing's instructions and separated a small spiritual grass with roots, and planted it back in the flowerpot again.
In this way, with this small spiritual grass continuing to absorb the red mist, the star chain fruit will not be affected.
"Hey, let's go plant the seedlings!"
Langze opened his pocket, waited for the little black cat to jump in, and then ran out of the room holding the cup of spiritual herbs.
Ran Lie, who was standing next to him, had his hands in his pockets and looked cool, but when he saw Langze suddenly run away, he couldn't pretend anymore and quickly ran after him.
Mo Lin was not in a hurry. He first contacted the people in the nursery garden and asked them to come and see the two green plants. Then he posted a notice to all members in the group of Base 26.
[From today on, everyone should correct the name of Hell Star to Earth Star]
This notice was a bit confusing, but soon, He Qirui, the head of the base, came out to respond.
Obviously, this big guy reacted to Mo Lin's intention at the first time.
Although He Qirui is a gentle old man who likes to speak in a clipped voice in front of the cubs, in the eyes of all the officers in Base 26, he is a very iron-blooded and stern leader.
After he said this, no one dared to question it, and they all carried it out quickly.
Mo Lin was very satisfied with the result.
When he put away the communicator and chased out of the recruit camp, the cubs had already run out of the camp, followed by Li Sinian and several skilled warriors to take care of them, which was why Mo Lin was relieved to let them run out. The
cubs were squatting on the ground, and the boy named Ran Lie was controlling the red flames to burn the metal shield on the ground under the command of the little wolf cub.
Mo Lin opened his mouth, but in the end he did not stop it.
The entire base is paved with metal floors, in fact, to prevent monsters from invading the base from underground, but the red mist is rampant, and this function is actually useless.
Because those monsters can appear from the red mist at any place in the base, making it difficult to guard against them.
In this case, it is actually okay to let the cubs burn for fun.
He walked over with ease, watching the little wolf cubs use a shovel to loosen the hardened soil and dig holes, and then separated a small blade of grass from the green plants and planted it.
Then he ran away and continued digging holes in the corner of the camp.
In subsequent observations, Mo Lin soon discovered that the three children did not dig randomly, and they chose to plant grass...
in the places with the highest concentration of red mist in the barracks?
At first he suspected that he was seeing things, but after watching for a while he finally came to the conclusion that the three kids really ran to wherever the red fog was thickest.
Even when he asked if he should spray some garlic spray to disperse the pollutants,
he was flatly rejected. Not only that, the wolf cub gave him a few "don't mess around" looks, as if he was the ignorant cub.
This inevitably made Mo Lin feel a little confused.
He stared at the slightly sloppy earth pits and the seedlings that had just been planted in the ground.
As they walked away, the smell of mutated garlic disappeared, and the pits were once again covered by thick red mist, making it difficult to see the appearance of the seedlings.
Can the seedlings really survive according to the planting method of the cubs?
Mo Lin watched silently, and began to think in his heart, if all the seedlings withered, and the cubs cried sadly, how to comfort them.
