Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Cultivating While Raising a Child

Chapter 494 496 Botanical Garden Crisis

The team led by Ning Qingyun accepted a routine security inspection after returning to the safety zone. After passing the inspection, Ning Qingyun ordered Huo Ye to lead some team members back to the station to rest, and he went to the pharmaceutical research institute to deliver tasks with the guides of the pharmaceutical research institute. .

When they came to the pharmaceutical research institute, the handover staff asked them to transport the dead blood tree to the botanical garden. When Ning Qingyun learned of the plan of the scientific research staff of the pharmaceutical research institute, his expression changed instantly.

He approached several professors from the Institute of Pharmacy, and told them the truth about the process of obtaining the dead blood tree, and told them that the worm-shaped relief attached to the root of the dead blood tree was a live worm when it was first unearthed, which was very strange, and advised them Don't try to grow it, it's safer to take it directly to the laboratory for extraction and research? .

"With such a complete root system, this tree is likely to be viable. If it is alive, can't we get this kind of material continuously? Some substances extracted from the branches of this dead blood tree contain powerful Vitality can be used to make anti-aging drugs, do you know how much demand there is for this drug in the market?" A professor at the Pharmaceutical Research Institute looked at the dead blood tree with eager eyes, as if he saw a treasure.

"But professor, these worm-shaped reliefs really look creepy. If an accident happens, everyone will be in danger!" a young researcher dissuaded.

"You young people are less courageous than us old guys. What's the danger of a tree that doesn't know if it can grow alive? At worst, we all wear gas masks to prevent inhalation of unknown substances such as poisonous miasma. "After the old professor finished speaking, he sent a student to get a gas mask.

"After all, this plant is a new species with unknown habits and is very dangerous. It is a fluke that I can escape from the dead forest. If you must plant it, it is best to plant it in a closed glass container." Ning Qingyun saw the attitude of the professors of the scientific research institute. Firmly, he made a suggestion.

"Where can I find glassware of the right size at this moment? I have seen countless mutated plants, and there are only a few kinds of attack methods for plants. Don’t worry too much if it’s a big discount.” Another senior professor said with confidence.

"That's right, come, come, plant this tree in the middle of the botanical garden. Whether the tree can survive or not will not be seen for a while. We will take turns to observe and record the situation here in the past few days, so as not to miss any changes. "After the old professor finished speaking, he got the unanimous approval of other researchers.

When Rong Xianxian brought two children, Shen Lishu and Mingyan, along with Yan Zishu to the botanical garden in the backyard of the pharmaceutical research institute, the professors were instructing the security personnel of the pharmaceutical research institute to plant the dead blood tree in the center of the botanical garden. In the big hole that was dug in the area.

Ning Qingyun looked in that direction and seemed to be worried. As soon as Xuanxuan saw Ning Qingyun, she cheered and ran towards him, "Dad!"

Ning Qingyun turned his head and saw Rong Xianxian and the children, and couldn't help showing a very bright smile.

He hugged Xuan Xuan who was flying over, and looked at Rong Xianxian with gentle eyes.

The big pit where the dead blood tree was planted has been refilled, and several professors directed the students to bring several buckets of soil nutrient solution and pour them into the soil under the tree.

"Qingyun, this is the most difficult task on the task list, and you have won it, amazing!" Yan Zishu praised excitedly.

"Lucky, lucky." Ning Qingyun looked in the direction of Rong Xianxian involuntarily as he spoke.

Yan Zishu chuckled knowingly, "Well, don't disturb your family reunion, I'd better go over there and have a look."

After the root system of the dead blood tree was buried in the ground, the trunk was only more than two meters high, and the shape of the tree looked much smaller. The researchers at the scene were seriously observing the situation of the dead blood tree. A small probe, this probe can detect the humidity of the tree. Someone tied a colored rope with a scale on the trunk to record the change in the width of the trunk. Others are busy around the dead blood tree. what are you doing?
Yan Zishu looked at this withered tree and was a little disappointed. This tree was no different from ordinary dead trees. He really couldn't imagine that a dry forest mainly composed of dead blood trees. Why would it be so dangerous?

"Hey, professor, look quickly, there is nothing wrong with our hygrometer, right? Or am I dazzled?" The young researcher who just inserted the hygrometer into the branch and was about to leave shouted in surprise.

"What's wrong?" the professor leaned over and asked.

"Look, the numbers on the hygrometer are jumping." The researcher's voice was low, as if he was afraid of being shocked.

The scale of the hygrometer generally does not change in a short period of time. Even if the tree can be fed smoothly, the fastest change of the hygrometer will be three days later.

The professor stared at the hygrometer with constantly beating numbers, exchanged glances with the researcher, and both of them backed away at the same time.

"Professor, I, I feel a little weak in my legs." The researcher said with a trembling voice.

"Don't be afraid, there are so many people!" The professor said while looking around, but found that many people around were listless.

"Major Yan, come and help, the situation here is not right." The old professor hurriedly asked Yan Zishu, who was looking over here, for help.

At this time, Yan Zishu also noticed that the people around the withered blood tree were not in the right state. What was even more strange was that the dry branches of the withered blood tree that had just been planted were gradually coated with a layer of luster and looked much more radiant.

Yan Zishu commanded the soldiers to carry those people who were unable to escape around the dead blood tree to the rear. In the process, they found many tiny root systems on these people who were unable to escape, and these roots were attached to different parts of their bodies. After being torn off, bright red blood flowed out.

At the same time, the originally lush and lush plants in the botanical garden slowly turned yellow, and this withered yellow color was spreading outward rapidly.

"Professor, the root system of this dead blood tree is expanding crazily. According to the current speed analysis, it can cover the entire pharmaceutical research institute in at most 5 minutes." The researcher with a metal instrument in his hand said calmly.

"Let's work together to dig out this tree first." The professor appealed in a trembling voice.

"No, you'd better put on your protective clothing and check your gas masks first," Ning Qingyun said loudly.

"I don't have time, I plan the tree first." The root system of the dead blood tree is all yellow, and the plants on the ground seem to be sucked out of all vitality.

"Xianxian, it's dangerous here, your child should leave first!" Ning Qingyun turned to Rong Xianxian and said.
