Ordinary observers in fast time travel

"Actually, you don't need to worry about being left behind by the times, just like I said earlier. As long as you want to, everyone can play an important role."

"No, I'm serious," Zhong Qingyu said hastily, thinking Shi Jia didn't believe him.

"Don't rush!" Shi Jia said with a smile. "Actually, I have two main research projects. One is the research on making ordinary seeds resistant to viruses, and the other is the research on the culturability of heterogeneous plants."

"It's easy to understand. The former's main purpose is to enable ordinary people to grow plants, while the latter is to enable planters to grow plants with special abilities, but I call them spiritual plants."

"Spiritual plants?" Zhong Qingyu calmed down immediately.

“Yes, you’ve heard of it, right? Those who have read the novel should know about it,” Shi Jia said. “According to the laws of social development, it can be predicted that in the future, humans and exotic beasts and plants will inevitably compete for resources.”

"Therefore, it is necessary for humans to cultivate spiritual plants themselves."

"Moreover, although plants are the most abundant thing on Planet Yimu right now, most of them have been infected by a 'virus' and turned into mutated plants. These mutated plants are violent and bloodthirsty, with extremely high combat power. However, very little of them can be used by humans. In fact, most of these mutated plants are completely unusable."

"However, there are very few supernatural plants that can be used by humans. They are not only hard to find, but most of them are occupied by mutant plants."

"Whether from a medical perspective or from the perspective of human supernatural life force, it is extremely dangerous."

“And what I’m talking about, cultivating spirit plants, will solve this problem!” Shi Jia said. “But cultivating spirit plants is different from cultivating ordinary plants; it must be done by a plant grower.”

"However, at that time, planters can no longer be called planters, but should be called spirit plant masters!"

These words stirred Zhong Qingyu's passion once again.

"I, I, I can do it!"

Shi Jia, who had gotten a little carried away, came to her senses and smiled, "Sorry, I've said a bit too much. These are just my ideas for the future."

"What we need to do most now is to cultivate ordinary 'virus-resistant' plants as soon as possible." Shi Jia looked at Zhong Qingyu, her eyes full of longing for the future and trust.

Zhong Qingyu nodded vigorously, "Okay, we will definitely be able to cultivate ordinary 'virus-resistant' plants soon! I'll go back to the cultivation base now to organize manpower."

"No!" Shi Jia quickly interrupted, "70% of the food in the base still needs to be supplied by the cultivation base! We can't just abandon it like this."

"Uh!" Zhong Qingyu felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, and he was restless. He really wanted to participate in the experiment immediately!

"Don't worry, I've already reported this to the original base manager." Shi Jia smiled. "After the planters' mental power awakens, their growth efficiency will increase. At that time, the work of 15 people can be done by 10 people, saving 5 people every day."

“And these five people will be assigned to my farm.”

Zhong Qingyu's eyes widened. So they had everything arranged for them all along? That's why they had been worried and scared for so long.
What brought him here today?
Do not!
Zhong Qingyu shook his head firmly. He made the right decision to come today! If he hadn't come, how would he have known about Yuan Muxia's plan? How would he have known that the future would be so wonderful?
Yes, Zhong Qingyu inexplicably believed in Yuan Muxia and believed that the future would be exactly as she described!

He didn't know where this trust came from.

Perhaps it's because they were the first and only planter to cultivate land outside the base on their own! Or perhaps it's because they developed vegetable seeds that ordinary people could grow!
……

Three more days have quietly passed!

At nine o'clock in the morning, the east gate of the base was already lined with convoys heading into the city.

"Phew~ I'm finally back."

"When I get back, I'm going to sleep all day, and then go to Fuyuanlou for a big feast!"

"Damn it, life at the Yandong base was inhuman. We ate nutritional blocks every day with just a couple of pieces of vegetables. I was about to throw up!"

"..."

Clearly, this long convoy was the rescue team that had just returned from the Yan Dong base. The rescue operation had resulted in minimal casualties, with only five superhumans dying. Based on past experience, this could be considered a rescue operation that would be recorded in the base's history.

Therefore, the superhumans in line still had the leisure to chat. However, to their surprise, after entering the city, they didn't see a single person to greet them. Well, not exactly none; at least the base officials sent a five-person team.

Give them their level information and record their feedback on using the ability recovery agent. That's it.

This frustrated the group of superhumans who wanted to show off.

Another thing is, when did their Yanzhong base become so lively? When did the smiles of those ordinary people become so radiant? Their spirited expressions are as if they were living before the apocalypse!

"They've sprouted! They've sprouted! My little grandchildren have sprouted!"

What? My grandson sprouted? It mutated?
The expressions of the superpowered individuals changed drastically.

"Hahaha, my baby has sprouted too! It's only been three days! You guys don't know how tender the leaves are~ tsk tsk~ slurp~" A burly guy looked on with a dreamy expression.

"Three days! Humph!" an older woman said dismissively. "My seedlings sprouted in just two days! They're growing so well now, while yours took three days to grow, haha..."

"Hey, what do you mean!"

"What could it mean? It just means the same thing!"

"You bitch, you're cursing my baby! You're asking for it!"

……

This... little grandson? Baby? Seedling?

What are they?

They've only been away from the base for a little over half a month, how come the base has become something they don't recognize?

Just then, a person carrying a flowerpot hurriedly passed by.

"Wait!" Fan Lin grabbed the man.

The man stumbled as he was pulled, but clung tightly to the flowerpot. Once he regained his balance, he immediately looked at the flowerpot to make sure the little sprout inside was alright, before turning to Fan Lin with displeasure, "What are you doing!"

Fan Lin stared intently at the little sprout in the flowerpot. "What is this?"

Upon hearing this, the man looked Fan Lin up and down. He was dressed in combat gear, his face was haggard, and he looked travel-worn. "Are you a hunter who just returned from outside?"

Fan Lin nodded and asked, "Is this a plant? Are you a plant grower?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary person without any superpowers!" The man shook his head. "However, these are indeed the bok choy seedlings I planted. They've just sprouted! Look!" The man immediately smiled broadly.

"You planted these?" Fan Lin realized the seriousness of the problem. "Are you sure?"

“Of course!” The man was immediately displeased, but considering the other party’s identity as a hunter, he patiently explained, “It’s obvious you’ve been away from the base for more than two weeks.”

"Hmm, what's been going on lately? Why are ordinary people like you able to grow vegetables?" Fan Lin was eager to know, feeling like he had missed out on a lot.

Although the networks of all the bases are interconnected, the network signal tower at the Yan Dong base had just been attacked by the mutants. The signal was very poor, and with heavy daily missions, there was simply no time to pay attention to information from the Yan Zhong base.

Therefore, after they went to the Yandong base, they were basically isolated from the Yanzhong base.

"Let me tell you..." the man began excitedly. Heaven knows how thrilled they were—ordinary people could cultivate it! What did this mean? It meant that the apocalypse was finally on the verge of ending!
Who wouldn't be excited or confused by such an epoch-making event?

However, the base commander ordered them not to spread the word, and even cut off their external communications for the sake of secrecy. Can you believe it?!
"How could this be? You're lying! Yuanmu Xia, she, she couldn't possibly... Waaah!" A sharp voice suddenly rang out.

It turned out that Fang Yanlei, Xia Zhixue, and the others had somehow appeared behind them. (End of Chapter)
