Chapter 148: Lucky Blessing, Full Harvest
After eating and drinking, the mutant silverfish in the lake were so scared that they sank to the bottom and dared not show their heads again. Ning Ke told her friends to go to bed quickly.
There is one last place to go tomorrow, and after that they will return to base.
As time goes by, the temperature at night has begun to drop rapidly.
In the early morning, the air exhaled from the mouth began to appear white mist.
Sheshan Base
Before daybreak, Cui Jianxiong had already arrived at the base's research institute to wait for the director, Li Chongming.
Dean Li is now completely infatuated with the mutant evolutionary tree and refuses to answer any video calls.
"Base Commander, you've been waiting for three hours, and we don't know when the dean will come out." One of the dean's assistants couldn't help but come over and advise.
"It's okay. Go in and tell him. If he doesn't come out, they'll take the mutant evolution tree away."
It was almost dawn and he still had other things to do, which made him very anxious.
When the assistant heard that the matter seemed serious, he nodded and quietly went into the laboratory.
After a while, our dean came out with two panda eyes and an angry look on his face.
He looked at Cui Jianxiong with a reproachful look, blaming him for interrupting his research.
Cui Jianxiong smiled helplessly:
"Dean, I'm pressed for time and have no other choice. This girl left such a precious plant in our base. How important is this to us?
I remember you developed some kind of cold-insulating clothing here? Would you mind giving a few sets to the little girl?
After all, she lives outside alone, so her life must be a bit hard."
"What? Several sets? Why don't you just go grab them? You know how scarce resources are right now.
I can only take out one set, don’t even think about taking out more than that.
Oh, and by the way, you can give her a set of newly researched solar indoor heaters. That one is an improved version that only requires a little energy to start. "
Even if she can't get top-notch equipment, I think the girl won't mind these practical little things.
"Hehe, do you think there is anything else? This is a bit embarrassing." Cui Jianxiong laughed.
"You're good, kid. Is that girl your relative? No, none of your relatives are treated this way. Could it be your pearl who has fallen into poverty among the people?"
Cui Jianxiong looked at the eccentric old dean with a frown on his face. His gossiping habit had not changed at all.
"Don't make blind guesses, old man. The girl has been very kind. She gave Xiao Li and me the Evolution Fruit. Isn't there one left with you?"
Li Chongming nodded in surprise, not expecting that it was the same person.
He called his assistant and asked him to take the base commander to the warehouse to look at the list and pick out two practical small things to take away.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Cui Jianxiong no longer disturbed the dean from his research. He only reminded him to get enough rest, as health is the capital of revolution.
Li Chongming walked halfway, thought for a moment, turned around and went to the lounge. He really needed to rest and take care of his body, as he still had a lot of research to do.
Now the outside world has become too magical and mysterious.
Looking at the treasures piled up in the warehouse, Cui Jianxiong turned around and left happily.
Hehe, not bad, I got a lot of good things for the girl.
Ning Ke and the other beasts have been fighting in the area where the mutant rice grains are produced for two hours.
I don’t know if it’s because of the lake water, but the rice grains here are particularly plump and the quantity is also very considerable.
As soon as they arrived at this rice-grain field, the huge noise startled the flock of mutant sparrows stationed there.
A large group of them flew out without warning, scaring Fuya and her cubs.
They flew over with a cry, and the scene became very lively for a while. After the sparrows were driven away, a few who had had enough fun came back and started to help collect rice grains.
Ning Ke took out sacks from the space, and the little treasures started to get busy in groups of two.
Fu Ya was busy for a short while before she disappeared with Xiao Hu and Zhuang Zhuang.
Ning Ke didn't care about them. How could those little guys have such good self-control?
Ning Ke would never let go of these rice grains. If they were not collected, they would be buried in the snow after the heavy snow covered them, and would be wasted when the rainy season came next year.
As the temperature gradually rose near noon, Fuya and Zhuangzhuang came back rolling two big watermelons.
She hadn't expected that there would be such a bumper harvest of rice here. There were already thirty or forty sacks full of rice.
Standing on the little elephant Nuomi, they looked over and saw that they had already cleaned up three quarters of the food, with only a small piece left in the corner.
After a short rest, Dabao took the cubs out to play, while she took the little monkey Lanlan and the black cat Nini to work in the fields.
While working, Ning Ke looked at the black cat Nini's round belly, his mind full of thoughts.
If nothing unexpected happens, Nini should give birth after the cold season.
I still have to prepare something for it when I get back to the base.
[Sister, come and see, there are some good things.]
Xueyu's excited cry came from above her head, and Ning Ke looked up curiously.
Wow~ It turned out to be a mutant honeysuckle tree, full of pale yellow fist-sized fruits.
Xueyu must have pulled it up by the roots, and the long roots were still covered with soil.
"Great, Xueyu, you're awesome. Are there any more around here?"
As he spoke, he picked all the mutant honeysuckle fruits and carefully placed them in the safety box.
"Yes, but none of them are as big as this one." Xueyu said with a little pride.
"Great! Xueyu, could you please bring them back? We can plant them near our home."
[Okay, I'll go.] Xueyu agreed readily, turned around and flew away.
It seems that no one has ever come to this area. Xueyu ran back and forth five times before bringing back several mutant honeysuckle trees of different sizes.
Ning Ke placed the smallest tree with soil in a watermelon rind. She planned to exchange it for some points at the base.
When Dabao came back with a few, Ning Ke raised her eyebrows:
"What are you doing?"
[Ningning, there's a big beehive in front of us, full of honey.]
"and then?"
[Hey, sister, we want to eat honey, it's delicious.]
Sable Taotao came over and hugged Ning Ke's thighs, looking at her with his big cute eyes.
"You guys didn't succeed even after such a mess?"
[There are so many bees, we can't get through.] Dabao scratched his face embarrassedly.
The greedy ones just stared blankly, but they still came back to ask Ning Ke for help, because she was the smartest and could solve any problem.
"Okay, since we're done here, let's go see how big the beehive is."
After a while, Dabao took Ning Ke under a big tree and looked at the woods ahead from afar.
[Ningning, it's just ahead.]
"Okay, I get it. All of you leave and stay away."
As he spoke, he released a large and heavy iron barrel from the space. This was the bee-proof barrel that their team had made in the previous life.
