But the black-haired boy still showed a calm expression on his face, showing a concerned smile to the young man named Branson, and said:
"It's okay, you'll be fine."
He reached out and patted his back, pushing him back into the crowd. Then he turned to the red beard who was approaching the two of them, 'Jack the Red Beard. ' Huo Li reminded timely in the young man's mind. The black-haired boy then showed a familiar smile to the red beard and said, "Yes! Jack, Mr. Huo and I have just returned."
The 'Mr. Huo' behind the boy took over the conversation and helped Xiaoyi temporarily end this unscripted awkward performance: "Are the people in the mine okay? Mr. Yi and I can only stay here for a short time this time. In a few days, how is the food production now, is it ready as I ordered?"
"Mr. Huo, now there are more than 800 kilograms of dried purple algae. If there is continuous surveillance by drones, as long as the time does not exceed a week, the 103 people in our mine will still be able to eat. But if the purple algae tank does not produce for a long time, we will We have to tighten the food supply." Jack Redbeard replied, making Xiao Yi beside him confused.
"Jack, leave today's food, and then have Benjamin and Brown remove all the remaining purple algae in the cellar and give it to Mr. Yi for food transformation. Mr. Yi and I will go and see the cultivation of your purple algae." Huo Li said, he took the red-bearded Jack away thoughtfully, and walked with the black-haired boy to the middle of the large tanks in the sun at the bottom of the pit.
"This is their daily food? A kind of purple algae? When the drones are investigating, they have to cover them all with those gray cloths to prevent them from being discovered?" the black-haired boy asked, this is too miserable, no wonder Humans on Planet D are almost extinct!
"Yes! After the end of the world, the D system launched a carpet bombing on the entire planet. Almost all vegetation was destroyed in this catastrophe. Later, the land of the world was controlled by mechanical warriors, and the survivors could not live there at all. Crops are grown on the ground. After the food produced before the end of the world is consumed and rotted, only the survivors near the sea and the lake can barely survive on aquatic products.
System D has established tens of thousands of research bases around the world to accommodate its own fuselage. After expanding its power to an unprecedented level, it has turned the suppression of human beings from the inland to the sea and lakes. Only a very small number of survivors escaped from this siege and escaped to inland valleys, karst caves and even underground rivers and mines with the algae farming methods they have slowly figured out over the years.
Because the living conditions are extremely bad, the lifespan of human beings has also been shortened a lot. Basically, after the age of 40, when the physical fitness begins to decline, it is difficult to survive. There are 103 survivors in this base, only one, 51-year-old Hardy, was born before the end of the world, but he was probably still breastfeeding at that time, so no one in the mine base has ever seen bread, and he has basically only eaten purple algae in his life. "
The black-haired boy reached out and scooped a handful of sticky purple algae with a strong fishy smell from the plastic tank, put it in his nose and sniffed it, frowned and said, "It's okay, give me 10 hours, tomorrow they will not only be able to Eat bread, but also fruit and roast chicken.”
At this time, Jack Redbeard and eight young men carried eight baskets of dried purple algae and placed them on the edge of the group of large tanks. The black-haired boy walked over and stretched out his hand to put them all into the space, leaving Huo Li to deal with the crowd, while he jumped a few times from the side of the pit to the surface.
He manipulated the black silk to quickly digest the purple algae, and now his black silk has grown to 815kg. The black-haired boy manipulated the black silk to extend outward like a spider web centered on the mine, and then froze from the black silk. One by one, the emerald green flat cabbage, the whole land on the edge of the mine seems to be covered with a layer of fluffy green carpet. The young man looked at the grand occasion of the cabbage in full bloom, thought for a while, walked quickly to the edge of the pit, stuck his head out and shouted down:
"Mr. Huo, come up!"
Huo Li, who was promoting the mission purpose of the Salvation Alliance to the gathered survivors, heard the words and immediately ended his speech, manipulating the wind power to respond.
The black-haired boy said to Huo Li, "This emerald green is really too ostentatious. You can help me keep an eye on the situation within 10 kilometers with your spiritual sense. If there are reconnaissance planes approaching, I will immediately change their color."
Huo Li: "Xiaoyi, don't worry, when I concentrate on perception, I can immediately detect movements within 13 kilometers."
The black-haired boy looked at Huo Li, who was showing off his spiritual power with great interest, and asked in surprise: "You... Now there is no shadow of childhood in modifying other people's memories, cough, am I talking about mental obstacles?"
After listening to Huo Li, he asked a little at a loss: "You... don't hate my ability, right? Although I can control everyone at any time, including you. But you understand that I am not proud of it or not. will be at will…”
The black-haired boy: "Oh, I see, your heart is still traumatized."
Huo Li: "When I was young, I was actually quite complacent about my ability, but then I deliberately restrained myself from abusing my mental power. Xiaoyi, just now I only tampered with the memories of those 103 people for two days, It will not cause their mental damage. And in the future, with the proof of the mine base, we can also integrate into the survivors of other bases faster without modifying the memory of more people... "
The black-haired boy let out a chuckle, and waved his hand in surrender to Huo Li, who was gushing about his motives, and said, "It's alright, now no one is saying that your behavior just now was bad. Let me ask, you are nervous and explained so much! In fact, I just want to call you up and make a few words. Now in their memory, what have we done these two days? "
Huo Li finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the black-haired boy who was still smiling, and then said: "Two days ago, the people at the mine base received information from the alliance mission personnel who were carrying out a salvation mission in the mainland of Planet D: there are two The high-level taskers 'Mr. Yi' and 'Mr. Huo' are coming, and the survivors of the mine gave us a warm welcome yesterday and introduced us to the basic situation of the mine. And our first step is to use the Your plant powers are used to interconvert food and grow vegetables."
The black-haired boy wondered: "So there really is an ability in the world that can transform plants into another kind?"
Huo Li: "No... The Salvation Alliance has very few spawning abilities, but they are very low-level."
So the two of them stayed beside this vegetable field that day, always vigilant against the detection of drones. The black-haired boy directed the cabbage to carry out high-speed photosynthesis, and at the same time manipulated the black silk to absorb the coal lumps scattered on the surface and underground. One hour later, the black-haired boy fell asleep.
"There is a drone swarm!" Huo Li reminded.
The black-haired boy manipulated the black threads at the bottom of the vast cabbage to rush up quickly, absorbing the cabbage completely, and then burrowing into the ground in a collective way. The footsteps burrowed into the soil and hid. Huo Li had already jumped into the deep pit, reminding the survivors to be vigilant.
A few minutes later, the drone swarm circled from the sky for several times. After finding no abnormality, they left with a roar. Only then did the black-haired boy get out of the ground and re-manipulate his limbs to grow into cabbage.
After half an hour, everything repeats itself.
In the evening, the setting sun finally shed the last rays of light. The young man suppressed his anger and manipulated the black silk to devour the cabbage field that had undergone nine investigations today, forming more than 3,400 kilograms of filaments. .
"System D, wait for me, I will control you sooner or later!" The black-haired boy who had been tossed for a day hurriedly walked into the cave in the mine. The square meter hall is actually a larger man-made cave with an oil lamp lit, but this is already the most proud large-scale building in the mine base.
At this time, 103 people at the mine base gathered here to wait for the arrival of Mr. Yi, a 'plant power user'. They were very curious about the food other than purple algae that Mr. Huo described to them. Seeing Mr. Yi walk in, this The chattering discussion not only did not stop, but Weng's one reached its peak:
"Joseph, do you believe it? In addition to the purple algae porridge we eat every day, there is something else we can chew and swallow?"
"Maybe? I chewed on a clod once when I was a kid and swallowed it. Don't believe me! Catherine, I swear I didn't lie! I was talking about the extra rare brown sticky clod. , instead of the sand and rocks all over the ground, I bet you've never seen a real clod!"
"Is this new food better than algae? I don't believe there is anything in the world that tastes better than algae. Maybe those 'new foods' that trade in algae aren't tasty at all, maybe they're like It's black like coal, and smells like tar," said a neurotic woman, apparently pessimistic and skeptical about everything in the last days.
"Definitely, Aunt Brian! I caught a little fluffy thing in a water tank 5 years ago, and we burned it and it smelled, you don't know how delicious that thing is! I , Jerry and Philip each ate a small piece!"
"That's a rat, you idiot, Benjamin! But that little bit of a rat tastes so delicious! I wish I could eat another little bit, even if it kills me right away!"
The black-haired teenager walked into the dim cave conference hall at the base of the mine. The crowded people made the air in this underground building without vents stagnant, mixed with a sultry and humid musty smell and the smell of human sweat, but he lived all year round. The survivors in the underground have become accustomed to this, waiting with wide-eyed hope or anxiety.
'Don't take out the leafy greens. ' Huo Li said to the young man with his divine sense. Although the young man did not know why, he still flashed several nutritious recipes without green leafy vegetables in his mind. Finally, under the attention of all the people, he took out a pot from the space as if it had just been fried. The black pepper steak came out!
The aroma of roast beef spread immediately in this closed cave. The survivors suddenly became restless when they smelled the breath, and looked at the pot of unfamiliar food with a fragrant aroma. Then the black-haired boy took out a pot of golden roast chicken, a pot of roasted red and sliced roast duck, a pot of fragrant and soft butter bread, a pot of colorful vegetable salad, and a pot of colorful fruits. Fruit basket, and a large pot of seafood soup. Following the style of a cafeteria, place the pots of food in a row.
The survivors in the cave were going crazy, and they restrained themselves from rushing forward because of their awe for the two missionaries of the Salvation Alliance! Then, under the leadership of Jack Redbeard, everyone finally lined up in a long queue, taking their own small pots and large bowls of purple algae porridge to get food one by one.
The red-bearded Jack who walked in the first place quickly put those colorful and unfamiliar foods into the bowl, and on the way back, he couldn't wait to twist a piece of roast duck with the most attractive color into his mouth, and it was crispy in one bite. The delicious duck skin and tender and juicy duck meat explode in your mouth!
"Mom! How delicious is this! I seem to be in heaven!" Jack Redbeard sighed excitedly while munching on roast duck, and finally wiped the wet corners of his eyes with his dirty cuffs.
The survivors who didn't get the food in the back couldn't wait to squeeze forward at Redbeard's amazement and the irritating smell of the scent that had already filled the cave. The people in front also cooperated to speed up the meal pickup, because at the end of the world, the solidarity of human beings is very strong, and even though they are greedy to death, each survivor only gets his share. In less than 5 minutes, everyone got the food and ate there crying!
"My God! What's this black like coal! It's so delicious, it doesn't smell like black coal!"
"Yeah, it's delicious! And a hot taste I've never tasted before."
"This red... meat like the sunset is also very delicious."
"There is also this round purple one that is the same as purple algae. It is not fishy at all, but has a particularly delicious taste!"
The survivors lamented the first bite of food they ate, but after decades of fleeing, the civilization of Planet D suffered a devastating blow. Survivors were unable to say even the most basic words to describe the taste and type of food.
Black-haired boy: "The black one is called beef, which is the meat of a large herbivorous animal with double horns on its head. That hot feeling is called spicy..."
Huo Li: "The red one is duck meat, the purple one is called grapes, it's a kind of fruit, it's sweet..."
Huo Li and Xiao Yi patiently explained science to them in the language of Planet D they had just learned.
"Wow!" Some young survivors looked at Xiaoyi admiringly, "They know a lot!"
"Of course!" Another child said proudly, "Mr. Yi and Mr. Huo are high-level missionaries of the Salvation Alliance!"
When all the survivors ate the pots of food they had never seen before, everyone's admiration for 'Mr. Yi' and 'Mr. Huo' reached the highest point! The atmosphere in the mine was unprecedentedly high, and they all looked at the two with hopeful expressions, and regarded them as the light of hope that could fight against the machines and save the world!
At this time, Huo Li looked serious and announced to everyone: "Mr. Yi and I came to Planet D this time because we got an ultimate weapon that can resist the D system and mechanical warriors!"
Everyone's gasping voices came one after another, but no one dared to speak in a low voice, all looked at Huo Li with an extremely fanatical expression, waiting for the next paragraph.
"With this ultimate weapon, we can use it to control the surrounding machinery! With this weapon, the war situation in World D will eventually be reversed!" Huo Li said enthusiastically: "And the name of this ultimate weapon is... "
The crowd waited with bated breath!
"Little cabbage!"
Huo Li said solemnly, took out a green, flat-flaked cabbage from the space with one hand, and held it up so that every survivor of the mine base could see its honorable face!
People who have never seen vegetables and greens: "Wow!!!"
The black-haired boy exerted all his strength to press down the corner of his mouth that was about to go up: As a qualified 'player', I must not laugh!
And this serious and solemn mobilization meeting is still going on enthusiastically!
Huo Li: "So the main task of each of us is to defend the cabbage from the claws of machinery!"
The crowd trembled with excitement, and they followed suit and shouted: "Defend the cabbage!"
