Ordinary observers in fast time travel

"Boss, the people at Yanzhong Base have been settled in."

"how?"

Ye Chen shook his head, "I didn't get any information out of him."

Fu Ruochen waved her hand, "It's alright, there's still time. Have the residents' health data been tested today?"

"It's already been tested, here's the comparison report." Ye Chen said, sending a report to Fu Ruochen. "The 'virus' situation in the human body hasn't changed. The mutation rate, well, it's decreased by 0.01% compared to yesterday, which is negligible..."

“No!” Fu Ruochen’s tone was resolute. “This is change!”

"You need to understand that once the mutation begins, the mutation rate will only increase and will not decrease."

"Moreover, you should know that we only started feeding them vegetables two days ago, and they only ate two leaves a day. This 0.01% change is enough to illustrate the point!"

Ye Chen nodded upon hearing this, but he still had some doubts. "Boss, what if this is just a coincidence?"

"Then increase the vegetable rations and continue to observe," Fu Ruochen decided.

Ye Chen was in a difficult position.

"Any questions?"

“Boss, the amount of vegetables that wood-type ability users can grow each day is limited. If the ration is increased, then there won’t be enough left to make nutritional blocks.”

If they can't even get nutrient blocks to eat at this point, then the Yandong base will probably be in complete chaos.

Fu Ruochen rubbed her temples. "I'll call the Yanzhong base and ask them to lend us some vegetables."

Ye Chen nodded quickly, his worry instantly disappearing. "Yes, according to our informant at the Yanzhong base, the former base chief's daughter can produce several thousand kilograms of vegetables every day, and she's already selling them to everyone at the base. I think borrowing a few thousand kilograms shouldn't be a problem."

"Also, boss, could you ask Miss Yuan about her planting experience and see if she could share it with our planters? If it's convenient, it would be best if she could come to our base to give lectures. If that's not convenient, could you ask if it would be convenient for our planters to go to the Yanzhong base to learn from her?"

Ye Chen's abacus beads were clicking away with incredible speed.

Fu Ruochen felt a little embarrassed to make the call.

However, not fighting is impossible.

"Hello? Commander Fu. I heard that the superhumans from our base have arrived at the Yandong base." Yuan Lei was reviewing the seventh edition of the National Awakening Mental Power Plan when he received a call from Fu Ruochen.

"Yes, your base's assistance team arrived just in time, helping my base successfully repel the beast tide. Thank you very much! Rest assured, after this crisis is over, my base will definitely give you the highest reward." Fu Ruochen's attitude was very good.

"Chief Fu, you're too kind. It's only right for our brother bases to help each other. Helping your company repel the beast tide and save Yan Dong Base from disaster is our responsibility and duty as superhumans..."

After a few polite exchanges, Fu Ruochen finally couldn't hold back any longer and revealed her purpose, "Also, I'd like to thank the former base chief for providing the vegetable-based diet. After three days of eating it, the mutation rate of our base's residents has finally decreased by one ten-thousandth..."

Before Fu Ruochen could finish speaking, Yuan Lei said happily, "That's great. I believe that if this continues, your base will be able to overcome this difficulty in just a few days."

Upon hearing this, Fu Ruochen immediately shook her head, but then, remembering that she was on the phone, she let out a long sigh.

"Is there some difficulty?" Yuan Lei's excitement was completely extinguished by Fu Ruochen's long sigh.

"To be honest with the former base chief, I'm afraid the Yandong base will have a hard time getting through this crisis," Fu Ruochen said in a low voice.

Yuan Lei frowned. His keen sense of intrigue, honed over twenty years in politics, immediately put him on alert. This time, he remained silent, listening quietly to Fu Ruochen's performance.

The phone was silent for a full ten seconds. Fu Ruochen cursed inwardly, "Old fox! The former base chief should know that our Yan Dong base has very few wood-type ability users, but a population of 20. The vegetables we grow daily are barely enough to make nutrient blocks." "If the former base chief hadn't vouched for us with his personal integrity, I wouldn't have decided to distribute half of the vegetables to the residents," Fu Ruochen sighed. "Of course, I also thank the former base chief for his kind reminder."

"However... the attack of two pieces of vegetables per person per day not only has little effect, but has also affected the supply of nutrient blocks for the people in the base. According to our resource department, if this continues, our base will not be able to supply nutrient blocks for at most five days."

Yuan Lei desperately wanted to hang up. After listening for so long, how could he not understand the other party's purpose? But why would Fu Ruochen give him the chance to hang up?
"I recently heard that the daughter of the former base chief awakened a wood-type ability, and that her ability was comparable to an eighth-level ability, allowing her to grow thousands of kilograms of vegetables in a single day," Fu Ruochen said with envy.

"Chief Fu, don't believe the rumors. My daughter has only just awakened her superpowers. How could she possibly have that kind of strength?"

Yuan Lei wanted to curse. Where did this news come from? Xia Xia... cough cough, okay, she does have that ability, but that's no reason for Fu Ze to scheme against his daughter!

“There’s no need for such modesty, former base chief,” Fu Ruochen said. “I won’t beat around the bush either. For the sake of us being human beings and fellow citizens of Yanmu, I beg the former base chief to save the lives of 200,000 people in my Yandong base.”

"Lend me 20,000 jin of vegetables!" If 20,000 jin of vegetables were divided among 200,000 people, each person would only have 0.1 jin, or 100 grams, which is about two or three cabbage leaves.

In peacetime, this is not worth mentioning.

But in the apocalypse, it becomes a huge resource, enough to make countless people envious.

Upon hearing Fu Ruochen's outrageous demand, Yuan Lei's eyes widened, and he snorted coldly, "Base Commander Fu, are you dreaming? In this world, which base can produce 20,000 jin of vegetables?"

Their official breeding base in Yanzhong produces only about 10,000 jin a day, which is then distributed among the more than 60,000 people in the base, with each person receiving less than 160 grams.

He dares to ask them to produce two days' worth of vegetables?

"Former base chief, it's not that I'm making an exorbitant demand, but the situation at the Yan Dong base is just too dire. If the mutation isn't stopped soon, the Yan Dong base will perish. If the mutation fully erupts at the Yan Dong base, nearly 20 mutants will be born, and Yan Zhong, which is closest to Yan Dong, will inevitably bear the brunt!"

Fu Ruochen's tone was heavy.

Yuan Lei's emotions gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion on the other end of the phone.

"Boss, something strange has happened in the East Square, the situation is urgent!"

"What happened? Didn't you say it was going down? I'll go right away." Fu Ruochen hurriedly said to Yuan Lei, "I'm sorry, Base Commander Yuan, there's an emergency here that I need to deal with immediately. I'll contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Lei let out a long sigh.

Given the dire situation at the Yan Dong base, Yan Zhong had only one choice: to help! Even if Yan Zhong hadn't reached the point of desperation, they wouldn't stand idly by and watch their compatriots die.

However, he couldn't make the decision on this matter alone, so Yuan Lei immediately called all departments and convened a meeting.

After dialing around, my gaze finally fell on my daughter's name. After thinking for a moment, I dialed it anyway.

When Shi Jia received Yuan Lei's call, he was teaching Wang Baobao how to use his mental power.

"Have you sensed any spiritual energy?"

Inside the greenhouse, two people squatted in the experimental field. One recorded plant growth data, while the other closed his eyes and silently exerted himself, his face turning red from holding his breath.

Suddenly, the person, whose face was flushed from holding it in, relaxed completely and opened their eyes in disbelief.

"Boss, I can feel it." (End of Chapter)
