After the boss of the end of the world was cannon fodder, he changed to the farming script

Chapter 12 Ruin Area NX1984

The variation of these sweet potato vines seems to have stabilized.

And that weird energy seems to have reached a certain balance in the bodies of these plants.

Gu Xi released his ability to perceive them carefully, and then took out a portable tester to measure their coefficient of variation.

The results show that the coefficient of variation of these sweet potato vines is 4.8. Although they are still within the edible range, they are not much different from those wild heterophytes in the distance with a coefficient of variation generally above 6.

It can be eaten, but the taste is definitely not good!

And those sweet potato vines that were harvested by Wei Heng with a machine earlier and piled aside were almost the same as when she went out at noon, and the coefficient of variation should still be around 3.

Gu Xi glanced at the other side of the stream, ignored the sweet potato vines, got up and slowly returned to the container house.

The pitch-black wild chrysanthemums are too big to be carried into the house.

Gu Xi used the soil ability to make a big vase on the spot, and put it aside casually.

After entering the door, she opened the only chair in the room and sat down, resting her chin with one hand, looking out of the window expressionlessly.

Time passed by, Gu Xi just sat like that, without any emotional fluctuations.

Until a small green shoot emerged from her fingertips and circled around her wrist.

"Gu Xi." Wei Heng stood at the door and knocked on the iron door, "The sweet potato vines left in the field have mutated again, I'm afraid they can't be eaten..."

This world is such a fucking thing, plants that grow in the ground may mutate anytime and anywhere.

What's more, scientists haven't figured out the reason for the variation of those plants so far.

No wonder there are so many people lamenting the difficulty of farming on the forum...

But no matter how difficult it is, this day must go on, right?

"What's going on with the two sisters on the opposite side, have you found out?" Gu Xi stroked the little green bud on her fingertips: "I was in the camp before, so I don't seem to have seen them..."

"They came from another camp." Wei Heng walked over, took out a small bag of seeds wrapped in plastic film from his pocket, and showed it to Gu Xi like a treasure: "Look, what is this?"

"What?" Gu Xi glanced, but didn't recognize it.

"This is the tomato seed."

Wei Heng looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Qin Yi and the others brought some crop seeds... Didn't I just go to help? When I came back, she insisted on asking me to take some as a thank you..."

"I can't shirk it. I thought you wanted to grow tomatoes before, so you asked if you have tomato seeds? I didn't expect them to have them. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Wei Heng handed the seeds in front of her, and looked at Gu Xi with bright eyes, as if he was a well-behaved dog online begging his master for praise.

It was a coincidence that Gu Xi's gaze shifted from his shining eyes to the tomato seeds in his hand, and he nodded.

She remembered that tomato seeds were not cheap.

"Gu Xi, how about we eat tomatoes tonight?" Wei Heng licked his dry and whitish thin lips, and looked at Gu Xi expectantly.

These years, life at the base has not been easy. Even in the special service team, he rarely had the opportunity to eat relatively expensive fruits and vegetables like tomatoes.

"Yes." Gu Xi took the small bag of seeds in his hand and nodded: "But there is a problem."

"What's the problem?" Wei Heng swallowed subconsciously, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or because he was too greedy for tomatoes.

Gu Xi: "...I don't know how to grow tomatoes."

Wei Heng: ... Ah, this... Aren't you wood-type supernatural beings born directly with supernatural powers?

"No." Facing his suspicious gaze, Gu Xi repeated confidently.

The two looked at each other, and finally, Wei Heng opened his personal terminal silently.

If you say no, you won't.But that's ok, there are videos of tomatoes growing on the forums...

No, as soon as he logged into the official forum, he saw a pop-up notification.

The notice said that in order to help the pioneers better open up wasteland and grow food, the central base will organize a large number of experienced agricultural experts to go to all parts of the country...

Wei Heng was silent, turned the light screen in front of Gu Xi, and motioned her to look at it.

Gu Xi: Is this for on-site technical guidance and teaching?
Wei Heng glanced at her, and cautiously suggested: "Why don't we learn too?" Although he himself was a novice in farming, he always felt that Gu Xi's simple and crude planting method was a bit wrong.

Gu Xi looked at him silently for a while: "...let's learn how to grow tomatoes first."

The sweet potatoes in the morning can be explained as an example, but if the same is true for the tomatoes grown by her hands... then it cannot be explained.

What's more, there are two new neighbors on the other side of the creek.

So this tomato must be grown normally.

This is a bit difficult for Gu Xi.She is used to using her wood-type abilities to directly ripen plants...

But fortunately, after the second major mutation 30 years ago, there was no regularity in the mutation of plants, which gave her room to manipulate.

Wei Heng searched the official forum for a while, and found a video about tomato cultivation.

After reading it, the two frowned at the same time.

Tomatoes are very delicate, unlike sweet potatoes, you can harvest whatever you plant.

Most importantly, it has to be pollinated.

Speaking of pollination, Ye Zhen suddenly thought of one thing:

After the second big mutation, animals and plants were all affected, and there was more of that weird energy in their bodies, but insects didn't seem to be affected by it, and there was no more of that weird energy in their bodies.

Over the years, after the army's continuous suppression, insects with a high risk factor in the wild have long been wiped out, and the remaining ones are almost the same as before the end of the world.

Except it's bigger.

Gu Xi thought of the few oversized butterflies I saw in the forest today... Maybe I can ask them to help pollinate?
Of course, as mentioned in the video, artificial pollination is also possible.

But artificial pollination of tomatoes requires a special kind of "red ink", not to mention them, even the sisters of the Qin family on the other side don't have it.

Because of the key technical problem of pollination, the two were unable to eat tomatoes at night.

Wei Heng smeared and boiled a pot of big sweet potatoes.

Under the gloomy moonlight, Gu Xi hugged a big sweet potato and squatted in front of the container house. Looking at the lights on the other side of the stream, she turned to Wei Heng and said, "There should be a generator in the camp, right? Wait until tomorrow." Let's grow some sweet potatoes..."

Wei Heng squatted beside her, and looked at the opposite light with the same envious expression: "You want to exchange food for generators? It's not impossible. But now energy is tight, if we want to exchange sweet potatoes for generators, I'm afraid we have to use many kinds of food." Just order sweet potatoes..."

Gu Xi thought of her -acre wasteland that had not yet been reclaimed, and immediately said proudly: "No problem." No matter how many sweet potatoes there are, she will cover them all.

The matter of left and right sweet potatoes has been exposed, and if she hides it, it will be even more suspicious.

It's better to show it openly.

What's more, the two new neighbors who came in the afternoon reminded her... Gu Xi wanted to take another look.

After the end of the world, there is no electricity and no entertainment in this barren mountain.

After eating the sweet potatoes, the two of them planned to wash up and go to sleep.

Before leaving, Gu Xi suddenly turned around and asked Wei Heng: "By the way, where did you pick me up back then?"

Wei Heng just walked to his container house and was about to open the door to go in. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at her in surprise: "You don't remember where you were before you passed out?"

It was completely dark at this moment, but Gu Xi's eyesight didn't seem to be affected, she stared at Wei Heng for a while, and then said: "I was hungry for several days, and there were some problems with my abilities. , I'm a little confused..."

"That's it." Wei Heng said, "We found you in the ruins of NX1984..."

Gu Xi: "I heard from Uncle Zhou that you were the first to discover me that day..."

"Yes." Wei Heng nodded and said: "That day, I followed Uncle Zhou and the others to pick up waste... When I found you, you were unconscious in the grass..."

He smiled and briefly explained the process of picking up Gu Xi.At the end, he joked: "It is said that life-saving grace can be promised by body, Gu Xi, for the rest of my life... you have to pay for all the food."

Gu Xi stared at him for a while, then nodded in response: "...Okay."

After speaking, she pushed open the iron door on her side and entered the house.

In the middle of the night, Gu Xi was lying on the bed, but her eyes were as bright as stars.

When she suddenly asked Wei Heng where he picked her up, Wei Heng's reaction was very natural, and the surprise in his eyes didn't seem to be faked.

Moreover, she didn't perceive any malice from him from the beginning to the end.

Could it be that the appearance of those two new neighbors, and that small bag of tomato seeds, was really just a coincidence?

……Lets see.

After a while, Gu Xi closed his eyes.

And the ruined area of ​​NX1984, she has to find some time to see it.
