Surviving In A Wasteland: I Can Evolve Endlessly - Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Fight For the Seeds

The next morning.

Ma Haobo’s group of six all walked out of the room and strolled around the base.

Upon receiving the news, Zhang He immediately got his men to follow closely to prevent them from doing anything that would harm the base.

Looking at the people following him from a distance, the bear-like fourth brother snorted in disdain.

In his eyes, these ordinary humans were like delicate flowers that could be crushed with a single step.

Captain Ma Haobo didn’t care at all. He put his four arms behind his back and slowly walked forward.

As he walked, he admired the surrounding scenery.

The base actually didn’t have much scenery.

Only the crops that were either mature or lush appeared more spectacular. In front of a field, a few people who were working looked curiously at these strange-looking people.

Ma Haobo didn’t care about those gazes. His attention was attracted by the crops in the fields.

This was because he saw that the crops in the vicinity were different from what he remembered.

Not only did the planting season seem to be chaotic, but even the grain itself was problematic.

It could even be said that it had completely refreshed his views of the world.

Take the corn for example. What did it mean to have a bunch of corn stalks that looked like tumors?

Although he hadn’t seen corn for a long time if he remembered correctly…

One plant would only grow one corn!

At most, it would give birth to two, and one of them would definitely be undeveloped.

Here, however, there was a string of seven to eight fully developed corns.

Was this a new species produced by nuclear radiation?

Also, what was with the potato that was bigger than a basketball that they had dug up?

Was there such a big potato before the disaster?

Forget about the potatoes, what about the rice?

Was there a grain of rice that could match up to half a fist in size?

Was this a long starch ball?

Ma Haobo couldn’t figure it out, but he was extremely shocked.

The way he stared at the crops was the same as how the people who were working looked at them.

Both sides were filled with shock and curiosity.

The others were also shocked.

The fourth brother said in a low voice,

“Captain, their crops seem to have evolved like us!”

“Do you think it’ll have the same effect as the zombie’s crystalline cores if we eat them? Maybe it can make us even stronger!”

The dog-headed man sneered,

“What are you thinking?”

“The zombie crystalline core is formed by gathering all the energy in a human body.”

“Even if these crops have some effect, it’s estimated that it’s about the same effect as the so-called ginseng on ordinary people.”

“That’s better than nothing,”

The woman, who had her snake’s tongue out, twisted her body and walked to Ma Haobo’s side, asking, “Captain, are you planning to take the seeds away?”

Ma Haobo’s two arms naturally wrapped around the woman’s slender waist.

“Yes, but I am more interested in the production.”

“People like us are far stronger than ordinary people. We’re destined to eat a lot!”

“If such high-yield crops could exist, we would no longer have to worry about food.”

“The only problem is how long the growth cycle of these crops is.”

“The potatoes are so big. If they grow for too long, they won’t be as good as ordinary potatoes.”

The woman grinned, revealing two sharp eyes of determination. She smiled and said,

“We can take it slow after we’re done with our matter!”

“It’s already in our pocket anyway.”

Ma Haobo didn’t comment. He came to the field and asked,

“Hello, can you tell me where you got your crops’ seeds from?”

The man’s face tensed up. He was very vigilant.

“Why are you asking this?”

Ma Haobo said helplessly,

“Don’t worry, I really don’t have any ill intentions,”

Hearing this, the man’s attitude became slightly better.

“The seeds were provided by Mr. Zhou.”

Hearing this, Ma Haobo and the others were a little surprised.

From the looks of it, this person meant…

The reason why these crops had such changes was because of that young Mr. Zhou.

“How long does it take for your crops to be planted and harvested?”

Upon hearing this, the man proudly raised his thumb and said,

“Mr. Zhou’s seeds are all like this!”

“Not only is it high in yield, but its growth rate is also top-notch!”

“Even the most difficult to ripen rice only need a month.”

“Potatoes and sweet potatoes will grow in around ten days!”

“The corn and wheat have only been around 20 days old!”

As soon as he said that, Ma Haobo and the others were shocked.

The woman’s waist stopped swaying, and she even forgot to retract her snake tongue.

The dog-headed man opened his mouth wide, and his tongue drooped to the side.

The fourth brother’s black fur fluttered in the wind, and he unknowingly opened his mouth wide.

When they finally reacted, they said the same thing in unison.

“That’s impossible!!!”

In today’s era, everyone knew how difficult it was for plants to grow in the wasteland.

How could there be crops that could grow so fast?

Even weeds couldn’t grow so quickly!

The environment that crops needed to grow in was incredibly difficult to find as well!

Without enough water and sunlight, how could they survive?

Not to mention the fact that it could instantly bear fruit in ten days to half a month!

This was simply impossible!

It was simply a fantasy!

Corn was in bunches, potatoes were bigger than basketballs, rice was as big as a fist, and so on.

It was understandable if these changes were due to the influence of the current environment, which led to mutation and evolution.

After all, even living people like them could evolve.

They weren’t surprised by the mutation and evolution of the plants.

They had seen similar mutations in other places before, but they were not as exaggerated as the one here.

However, then again, what the hell was this growth rate?

Even if it was in the past, it would not have been possible to grow it so quickly on the most fertile land.

Looking at these ‘monsters’ making a fuss, the workers immediately had a look of disdain.

Their gaze seemed to be implying that they, Ma Haobo and the others, were a group of people who have never seen the world!

This made the group want to vomit blood.

They had roamed the wasteland and seen too many people and things.

When it came to worldly experiences, the entire base of more than a thousand people added together couldn’t compare to any one of them.

Now, however, they felt like they were being looked down upon.

After leaving the field, the six of them walked to an empty place in silence.

The fourth brother said in a low voice,

“Are we being looked down upon?”

The dog-headed man nodded silently.

Ma Haobo sighed.

“The changes in the new world are indeed different every day!”

“We don’t even know what tomorrow will be like!”

“This is a whole new world. We can’t look at it the way we usually do!”

“We must get these seeds.”

“Not just the seeds. We also need to know what caused these seeds to become like this.”

“If it’s something like a technique, we have to

get it.”

“After all, according to what the farmers said…” “We can conclude that their seeds were the same as before, nothing special.”

“The seeds only became what they are today after they passed through Mr. Zhou’s hands.”

“So…”

At this point, Ma Haobo’s four arms clenched into fists and collided with each other.

“We must obtain all the techniques and seeds!”
