LRAB Chapter 205 Visit
Chapter 205 Visit
The night was gentle, with the Milky Way above and the valley below.
The weary convoy, along with the ancient, tepid eeriness, shared a peaceful and harmonious night in this forgotten valley.
The convoy camp was much busier than usual in the early morning.
The little ones quickly integrated into the convoy after learning they would be leaving with it.
Children don't have that many ulterior motives. With Yao Yao, Jiao Jiao, and Dou Dou acting as mediators, their integration is seamless.
This is also closely related to the overall atmosphere of the team.
DouDou even started helping to take care of the injured in the convoy.
Grandma Xin also discussed with Fu Xiaojian how to store their supplies.
Ultimately, it was taken away by Shao Bing's ambulance.
The interior space of Shao Bing's ambulance is quite large, and it can easily accommodate several people's belongings.
"Can we go inside and take a look?" Fu Xiaojian was still quite curious about what their living space was like.
Especially that space called the implant cavity.
Five days is a short harvest period, but it is still a bit long considering the current length of time the convoy is staying.
If they could manage to shorten the time to three days, they could harvest a crop of supplies from Niu Niu's planting chamber during the rest period.
"Of course!" DouDou's eyes lit up, clearly eager to show off her "home".
Fu Xiaojian and Xu Si gestured to each other, and then the two followed Dou Dou's footsteps.
If it were just Fu Xiaojian alone, he probably wouldn't even have the power to fight back if he were tricked. Bringing Xu Si along was just in case.
"Me too, me too!" Jiao Jiao was also very curious and followed along eagerly.
Fu Xiaojian couldn't refuse, but Dou Dou was actually very happy.
"Sister Jiaojiao, come quick!" Dou Dou had already nimbly climbed onto the edge of the vortex bull's shell, which was covered with spiral patterns and resembled natural stone steps, and turned back to wave at them.
Fu Xiaojian still felt some discomfort in his ribs, but he took a deep breath and followed Xu Si and Jiao Jiao, stepping onto the warm, slightly cool shell that felt like fine bluestone, and carefully crawled into the wide passage that could accommodate two cars side by side.
Upon entering, the light immediately becomes soft and strange.
Contrary to their expectations, the interior of the vortex cow was bathed in a soft, luminous white light.
The air was filled with a faint, fresh scent, similar to the mixture of soil and plant roots after rain, which was not unpleasant.
The interior is more spacious than it appears from the outside; once inside, it's a space resembling a living room, at least several tens of square meters in size.
The edge of the "living room" is marked by several different entrances, which are divided into several spaces of varying sizes by a semi-transparent, fascia-like structure.
DouDou introduced each item one by one, some containing fresh sweet potatoes, and others containing dried tubers and leaves;
Some of the beds were covered with simple weeds, clearly where several children and Grandma Xin slept.
In addition, there was a separate excretory chamber, which also served as a toilet for everyone.
The only inconvenience is that you can't light a fire here.
Most notably, deep within the cavity lies a relatively independent "room" that is noticeably warmer.
The ground there is not a hard shell, but a kind of dark brown, constantly slightly wriggling fleshy base, which is the so-called implant cavity!
The implant cavity was surprisingly large, and its length was about the same as that of a bus in Tashan.
"Is this a sweet potato?" Jiao Jiao looked at the plants growing on the fleshy base with surprise.
Xu Si naturally recognized it, but this was the first time he had seen this planting method.
"We planted these three days ago! We usually plant a batch when the cows come to eat, and we can harvest them in a couple of days!" DouDou explained.
"Doesn't it need watering and fertilizing?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
Xu Si's starry eyes slowly swept across the implant cavity.
Those dark brown, fleshy bases were not completely still, but rather undulated slightly with a slow rhythm, like the skin of a sleeping behemoth.
He could clearly "see" a pale blue energy flow slowly deep within the base, like the roots of a plant, extending to the roots of every sweet potato.
Is this what's called a "warm current"?
"No need for watering or fertilizing, it will grow on its own. But you have to turn the seedlings over every day, and pull them out when they're grown! We usually harvest them every five days, because if they get any bigger, we won't be able to move them!" DouDou said, sounding like a professional technician.
"You mean he can still grow?" Fu Xiaojian asked incredulously.
"Yes, it will grow bigger and bigger!" DouDou made an exaggerated gesture. Although she had never grown such a big sweet potato before, she was sure it could.
"Have you tried other seeds? Would their harvest period be shorter?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
He would accept grains that mature or are semi-mature in two or three days.
"No, we only have sweet potatoes!" DouDou said awkwardly.
Grandma Xin brought out these sweet potatoes. The children had no idea that they needed to bring food when they were fleeing for their lives, and they didn't even know that they were fleeing for their lives.
Fu Xiaojian had quite a few seeds on hand, but he was afraid that if he planted them and didn't harvest them within two or three days, it would all be for nothing.
Perhaps they can only test it when Xiao Luo advances to Sequence 3 and the psionic barrier can protect for a longer period of time!
However, according to the habits of plants, the growing season is definitely long or short. If they could harvest some food during each rest period, that would be like living in paradise.
We don't need a lot, stability is enough.
What a pity, it would be great if this were a rare treasure!
"By the way, besides those bushes, what else do the cows eat?" If we're migrating with the cows, their food will be quite a problem.
"I don't know, I've never seen it eat anything else! But after it goes into hibernation, it won't eat or drink unless it's woken up! Once it's woken up, it will eat!" DouDou explained.
This is a bit of a problem. They don't know how to plant those shrubs, and even if they did, they wouldn't have the space to plant them!
"I wonder if the Strange One will eat it!" Jiao Jiao murmured.
Fu Xiaojian's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea and worth a try.
It's much more reliable than feeding cows snacks or dry food.
Upon hearing this, Xu Si's face darkened even more. He could tolerate one other strange creature competing with him for the same thing, but if two came, it would truly be the end of the world.
It seems that from now on, this strange creature won't be the only one favored by him.
"I forgot to ask you, if Niu Niu enters a cave-sleeping state, do you still need to reinforce his contract periodically?" Fu Xiaojian always considered things very thoroughly.
"Contract reinforcement?" DouDou grinned, then continued somewhat shyly.
"No need! Contracts that occupy my contract slot don't need reinforcement! Only active contracts need reinforcement!"
Seemingly noticing that Fu Xiaojian and Xu Si were both turning to stare at her, Dou Dou felt a little embarrassed; she hadn't said that before.
This is a safety net!
This little girl's feet are so slippery!
