Chapter 49
Mushroom mutation in greenhouse
Chapter 49
Ying Huai looked down at Tang Tang, who was happily sharing her new abilities with others under his tree. She looked very happy.
The spiritual energy was abundant again. Unlike last time, only those who were close to the water spiritual energy benefited. This time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was comprehensive, without any bias.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy content this time was very high, and many people still benefited from it.
The most intuitive thing is that some people in the village who are injured or have long-term chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis can clearly feel their functions recovering under the nourishment of spiritual energy.
It’s not clear whether we can return to our youthful state, but just thinking about it, people can get younger and younger, which is quite exciting.
Because of this discovery, some elderly people who have high status and wealth but still do not want to grow old and die have hope.
They were very excited to share their experiences with people around them who had also discovered the phenomenon, and then began to think of ways to see if they could continue this phenomenon.
This is especially true for certain private forces abroad, who began their research almost immediately after the changes in nature and the revival of spiritual energy. However, previous research tended to allow humans to possess superpowers that surpass their own abilities.
But as time went on, when they discovered that these spiritual energies could actually restore body functions and make humans healthier, they seemed to have seen something deeper.
Longevity!
Not only did the ancient emperors of the Flower Country pursue this, they did the same!
No one wants to die, and no one wants to be at the bottom.
In a completely changed world, it is obvious to the Flower Country that possessing abilities is their path to immortality. After all, they have always advocated self-cultivation.
But it's different abroad. They want to achieve it all in one go. They want to possess divine power and immortality like a god. Now that they have an anchor point in front of them, what will they choose to do? Experiment!
The first disaster after the revival of spiritual energy did not seem to be caused by the mutated animals and plants in the changes in heaven and earth. After all, their current abilities are limited and they can only be carried out in a small range.
Those illegal laboratories are different. They can send people out day and night to capture lone people, then bring them to the laboratory and start experiments on those captured people.
And the final experimental results will only belong to those who have power.
As soon as these situations abroad were discovered by domestic officials, a national evacuation operation was launched.
If the authorities had previously only hinted at asking those Chinese people living abroad to return, this time they were taking a tough stance.
If he still refuses to return to China with this attitude, then no matter what crisis occurs in the future and he asks the country for help, I'm afraid no one will be able to rescue him.
After all, judging from the current recovery of spiritual energy and the continuous increase in its content, it won’t be long before those mutated plants and animals explode.
The Taoist priest had already predicted that what they were experiencing now was just an appetizer, and there was more to come.
Although, most of his divinations now are messy and he cannot obtain evidence because of the disorder of heaven's will, but there is still the village chief Dai in Shangyou Village!
After verification from both sides, this is the answer we finally got.
This conclusion was brought up unintentionally by Captain Dai and his team when they were chatting with the village chief after arriving in Shangyou Village.
Many times, Village Chief Dai didn’t know the direction of the hexagrams he saw in his dreams. If he didn’t understand it himself, he would really miss it.
The hexagram in the dream was like a mute transmitting something through his mouth, but after all, it was not the same brain, so no matter how high the frequency was, they could not be integrated.
It would be fine if he could interpret some of the things happening around him, but when it comes to the major trends of the future, Village Chief Dai is a bit clueless.
So when Village Chief Dai mentioned that he often couldn't understand his dreams, his youngest son immediately thought of the Taoist who was accompanying another team to collect samples of mutant animals and plants.
His father can't understand it, but there are others who can!
As a result, the final result was that although Village Chief Dai never left the entrance of the upstream village, due to his special abilities, he was able to directly contact people who had a say in special state departments, rather than having to relay information through his son.
In Daxi Village below Shangyou Village.
Ying Huai didn't know yet that so many waves were surging outside because of this third round of spiritual energy.
When he saw the villagers envious of the mutant crops in those fields because they didn't have to worry about large animals coming down from the mountains to steal the crops, he knew that someone would definitely find a way to transplant those mutant plants into their own fields.
It was just that they were able to dig up the mutant plants before because it was the first time they mutated and they didn't know anything, so they allowed them to dig them up and show them to Ying Huai.
Now, after such a long time, it would be strange if they still can't learn how to protect themselves.
I saw a mutated demon plant dragging a bunch of grapes sneaking past Ying Huai. After seeing Ying Huai, it ran towards Ying Huai.
After a while, it arrived at the place. The mutant vine dug around on the ground next to Yinghuai, and finally, after choosing for a long time, it chose to take root next to the small ginseng monster plant.
Under normal circumstances, grapes do not grow on the mountains in the village. Obviously, this one was grown by someone's family. After the mutation, it has not reacted at all and has no intention of harming the family, so the family keeps it.
Now seeing that other people have mutant crops in their fields, they want them too, so they want to plant this plant in their fields. Who would have thought?
Normally, the mutant grape vine didn't seem to be highly mutated, it just shook its vines and seemed to have a mild temper. However, after they dug out its roots, it ran away waving its vines!
Moreover, the direction he ran in was very particular, he was heading directly towards Ying Huai.
By the time the family came looking for it, the tree had already grown itself, and Ying Huai didn't have to worry about it at all.
"How did others provoke you?"
Ying Huai's branches touched the grape vine and asked.
"Who wants to go to a field with no one around? Can't I just stay here? Why do you insist on forcing me to go to the fields? That's illegal child labor! Besides, people can't even work in the fields. It's nowhere near as fun as playing with the little two-legged beasts!"
The grapevine had obviously been with humans for a long time, and its mouth was much more fluent than the ginseng plant next to it. It spoke its thoughts in a hurry.
As he spoke, when he said the last sentence, he showed off by picking up the bunches of grapes hanging on his vines. They were pulled up and down by the vines, swinging back and forth.
"It's fun to watch them wanting to eat but struggling to pick any."
"Are you teasing the cat?"
Ying Huai was speechless.
"Little cubs are fun. I don't have any cubs, and it just so happens that humans have little cubs. I can borrow one to play with. If he cries from playing, I can return it."
Well, this grape vine needs to be moved back. It talks too much and Ying Huai thinks it is noisy.
"Oh my god!!! I didn't mutate the crops, and they won't grow even when I put them in the fields..."
Ying Huai was just thinking about how to get the owner to get the mutated grape vine back when he felt someone hugging his legs.
This was followed by a heart-wrenching cry, which showed that he had no dignity as an adult at all.
A few children nearby saw the grape vines and came over to look at them curiously, and were dumbfounded.
"Shitou, are all adults such spoiled creatures? Will we be like this in the future?"
A little boy was holding a meat bun he brought from home. His face was covered in oil as he ate it. He turned around and asked about the stone he brought for them to play with.
Although Shitou is not the oldest among the group of children, he is the one who spends the most time in Daxi Village. He can think of all the fun things to do. He also has a good temper and positive ideas, so he can play well with other children.
During this time, he was the happiest child in the village. Every day, children came to play with him, and it seemed that Shitou was the leader of the children.
"That's right. My grandfather would cry like this to my godmother, and his face would be all wrinkled, with snot and tears running down his face. It was so ugly when he cried."
Shitou nodded as if he was used to it. It was obvious that although many elders in the village avoided children like them who came to ask for godmothers, Shitou had encountered them many times and was used to it.
The village chief, who had just heard the noise and was about to come over to check on the situation, said: ...
This brat tells everything.
"Yeah, yeah, my dad is the same. Last time, when he was repairing my grandfather's old house, he stepped on the toilet and broke it. He almost couldn't crawl out. As soon as he got out and cleaned himself, he came to complain to my godmother."
The older boy next to him was also eating his breakfast, holding a bowl of spicy soup in his hand, and was fishing out the boiled eggs in it, eating and joining in the fun.
"I don't understand why he came to complain to his godmother when he was just unlucky enough to break a toilet that hadn't been used for years."
As he spoke, he stuffed all the eggs in the bowl into his mouth. The egg yolk was a bit choking, so he shut his mouth and quickly drank several mouthfuls of soup.
Ying Huai took the time to listen, but he didn't quite understand why they came to him to complain. Could it be that he could make the toilet become a spirit, dig it out and beat it up?
It’s impossible to even think about it!
But the adults in the village didn't care. Whenever they encountered something unpleasant, they would come to him to talk.
Ying Huai could still accept a normal chat, but this kind of fake crying at the beginning, feeling even more wronged as she cried, and crying out her true feelings, let it go...
"Hey, what's going on today?"
Zuzu followed behind Boss Wu and watched him put his recliner in place. Then he turned around and asked the village chief curiously.
Many people have returned to the village during this period. At first, the villagers were busy cleaning up their homes and had no time to make trouble, but things have been different recently.
Now that their house was cleaned and they had enough to eat, the first thing they did was to come and make trouble for their godmother.
Zuzu has been lying like this these days, and he feels as if he has returned to his youth. The villagers at that time were also like this, but they were not so loud. They just squatted there and complained while crying.
"What else could it be? There are mutant crops growing in the fields of several families on the edge of the village. I heard that it can help protect the crops. So, he wanted to move his own mutant plants to the fields, but the family refused to work and ran away. So he came to my godmother to cause trouble."
The village chief briefly recounted the whole story. After he finished, he thought about it and made sure that he didn't miss anything. Then he turned around and looked at the villagers who were hugging Ying Huai and crying.
Seeing that the villager had almost cried enough, Ying Huai sent a message directly to the village chief in his mind.
[Let him go back. What grows in the land is fate. And move this grape vine back with him.]
Just in case, Ying Huai also sent a message to the villager at his feet who was crying sadly but couldn't shed tears.
The villagers who had seen Ying Huai's extra ability during this period were not scared, but seeing that he was crying like this and his godmother still refused to give it to him, they knew that there was really no hope.
He had no choice but to nod with some grievance, then stood up and started to work on the grape vines beside him with the village chief.
This time he knew that the grape vine would grow on its own, so he didn't think about looking for tools to dig out the roots, and just pulled it directly.
The grape vine was reluctant to follow him at first, but after seeing Ying Huai drop a leaf on it, it obediently followed the village chief and villagers' strength, dug itself out of the soil, and followed them.
Seeing this, Ying Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
He really deserves to be the owner of the mutant grape vine. He has great talking skills. The other person climbed on him and cried for so long, but he didn't even repeat a few words. He also interspersed the words of the mutant grape vine next to him from time to time. It was so lively.
Each person and each grape vine demonstrated the power of a play to Ying Huai.
I guess you listen to a lot of crosstalk in your daily life.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a high level of tacit understanding.
After receiving Ying Huai's reply, the other people in the village who were still waiting gave up. Since the godmother said it depends on fate, then it is really a matter of fate and cannot be forced.
I'm just more meticulous when working in the fields. While tending to the crops, I observe whether there are any differences between them.
This happened every day. Ying Huai watched and silently drew less spiritual energy from the fields, at least to give the plants some space to mutate.
However, the amount of spiritual energy he released was not much. According to Ying Huai's understanding of this new world during this period, it is completely undesirable to completely integrate the spiritual energy into those plants and animals now.
It would easily cause a lot of negative effects. These fields contain food for the villagers of Daxi Village. He really couldn't let the spiritual energy directly invade those ordinary plants.
Who knows whether they will become like those creatures at the foot of the mountain who have no intelligence and can only attack based on instinct, and will also evolve into other functions?
If it's poisonous, wouldn't a lot of people in Daxi Village die?
Ying Huai, who has spiritual consciousness, can prevent them from attacking the villagers, but for those without spiritual consciousness, it is a bit difficult and uncontrollable.
Unlike Daxi Village, where Ying Huai was watching over it, the plants didn't mutate much, but things were in a commotion down the mountain.
The side dishes I ate yesterday were delicious, but today I picked some from the balcony and made the same soup with noodles, but they tasted even worse!
It's considered good enough that it tastes bad. There have been many cases in the town of people getting food poisoning after eating mushrooms freshly picked from the greenhouse in the morning.
Those mushrooms were common edible mushrooms in the past, but now they are different. They are now called Niuhulu mushrooms.
No one knows which of these animals with the same appearance are edible and which are poisonous.
Because a whole truckload of edible mushrooms was sold in the market that morning, only a dozen or so households suffered from mushroom food poisoning.
The mushroom samples collected in the morning were tested and found to contain toxins in some parts, while the rest were edible.
There is only one mushroom in the middle of a large cluster of mushrooms, and it is so difficult to distinguish. It really makes people admire its hiding ability.
"Have someone put those mushrooms away for now. Don't sell them for the time being."
In the end, the mayor had no choice but to issue this written order. As for the losses suffered by the merchants, considering that they were caused by force majeure factors caused by the sudden changes in the world, the government still gave some subsidies as appropriate.
However, this subsidy is far from enough to cover the cost of growing mushrooms at home.
But it is unlikely that they will continue to sell.
They can't make that dirty money, and mushroom poisoning is very likely to be fatal.
Some people were accidents.
The senior sister Tang Tang had met before in town, who was divorced and raising her children alone, also ate mushrooms that the landlord had bought at the vegetable market early in the morning.
Fortunately, their family was kind to others. After they were poisoned, someone noticed something was wrong and sent them to the health center for treatment.
However, the landlord and the child were fine after gastric lavage, but there was something unusual about the senior sister.
Not only was she fine after waking up, she was even very active, and the negative emotions she had previously suffered from her ex-husband had also eased.
At this moment, she was full of energy, as if she had returned to her youth, the ambitious and ambitious self in her career.
The town is not big, but not small either. However, to the doctors in the hospital, this patient looked very familiar. After all, she was often brought to see the doctor by the landlord.
Although her children are well taken care of, they always have headaches and fevers and have to go to the hospital.
Of course, the most important point is that their family is very rich. Anyone who hears that they are the family with the most houses in the town will definitely think of the landlord.
He really has a lot of houses, all thanks to his early investments.
There are still many people in the town who rent their houses from him.
"My girl, are you really okay?"
The landlord asked tremblingly, holding a child and following his daughter, fearing that she might have a last gasp!
"It's okay! I just felt like the fog that was covering my eyes suddenly dissipated, and I felt better. I don't know what happened. Also, if there's really something wrong with me, can't the doctor find it?"
As the senior student spoke, she turned around in front of the landlord, showing him her current condition. After making sure that her father could see it clearly, she picked up her child.
"Baby~ Let's go, Mommy is taking Feifei~~"
As she said this, she ran forward holding the child.
It has been confirmed that this unfortunate girl is indeed recovered and now has the energy to take care of her children.
That should be a good thing...
Hearing the giggling of a child in the distance, the landlord frowned and wanted to ask his daughter to put the child down, as it was too dangerous to run away like that.
But seeing his daughter's bright smile that had only returned after such a long time, he couldn't bear to interrupt her. He could only follow his daughter with a wrinkled face and some distress.
After they returned home, they saw the uneaten mushrooms in the kitchen. The landlord was about to throw them away when he was stopped by the senior student.
"Dad, don't touch this. I'll find some time to study it."
Although she said so, she did not stop playing with her child.
Seeing that the child was a little tired, I put him down and let him sleep and rest.
Only then did she have time to go to the kitchen to study the mushrooms.
"What's the use of this? You won't let me throw it away."
The landlord came over and looked at the mushroom in his daughter's hand with some curiosity.
"I don't know what it is, but I just have a feeling that this mushroom contains what I need."
As she said this, she looked carefully at the mushrooms at hand and accurately picked out a few of them.
"These flowers should not be eaten, but the rest are fine."
After saying that, she handed the remaining mushrooms to her father.
"But Dad, if you're worried there's still something wrong with these mushrooms, it's the same if you just throw them away."
After saying that, she prepared to leave with the mushrooms she had selected.
The remaining old man looked at the mushrooms on the kitchen chopping board with some confusion.
When he was young, he experienced famine. He was really hungry, so he cherished food very much.
Every grain of rice should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by.
So even though he was very rich now, he still stood there and hesitated for a while, and decided to cook all these mushrooms. If he cooked them for a longer time, the poisonous ones should be cooked out, right?
Even if he doesn't believe in these mushrooms, how can he not believe in his own daughter?
I had egg and mushroom soup in the evening, and honestly, nothing happened to me.
While the landlord was tossing and turning in bed, waiting for a possible poisoning reaction, in the next room, after making sure that her child was asleep, the senior student took out the mushroom in her hand and examined it carefully.
Not only did she observe with her own eyes, but she also observed with her newfound abilities.
She is now very curious about her own abilities. What kind of abilities can decompose the toxins in mushrooms and improve her physical fitness?
After really studying it, she discovered that her ability seemed to be more than just strengthening her physical fitness.
Also possesses supernatural powers for a short period of time.
"Is this telekinesis?"
Looking at the cup in her hand that she had taken from the distant table, the senior student murmured softly.
As soon as she finished reading this sentence, she saw that the abnormal energy in her palm had dissipated, and what followed was the ability she had sensed at the beginning.
"The telekinesis ability is gone, once and for all."
After frowning and thinking for a while, she ate another mushroom that she had picked out from the inedible parts.
"I'll have to cook it next time. It's a bit unpalatable when eaten raw."
As she said this, she had just swallowed the mushroom when she felt a surge of energy in her body.
“Is this water?”
She looked at the mist that appeared at her fingertips and slowly condensed into water, and finally turned into water droplets lying in her palm after the energy disappeared, with her eyes full of wonder.
Does that mean that if she finds mushrooms with the same powers, she will be able to gain even more abilities from them?
The whole world has been changing recently. It's not that she didn't notice it, but she was dealing with the finishing work of her own company, taking care of her children, and she was not in a good mental state, so she didn't pay much attention to the outside world.
Even someone like her who doesn't pay much attention can know more or less about the situation, which shows how serious the situation outside is.
In such a dangerous world, if she wants to protect her family, she must have some special abilities, and now she seems to have them.
Their family seems to have always been blessed with good luck.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her gaze towards the mountain.
“Why didn’t the mayor allow the two villages on the mountain to come down, and why did he hire people to clear the road up the mountain?”
