Chapter 191: A Single Fish Leg Is Enough for You to Eat for Ten Years

"Look! Look! I'm here, this is the head of a giant octopus, and just this one leg is enough for you to eat for ten years!"

This statement was a bit of an exaggeration, but it was enough to shock the man before her.

Xing Tianyang could doubt the truth of the words, but he could not doubt the authenticity of the video; at a time like this, who would have the mood to make a fake video to deceive people?

Of course, the main point was that he did not believe she had the ability to make a fake video; he wasn't looking down on her education, he just felt Liu Mu didn't have that kind of patience, and there was no benefit to it—would this woman go to that much trouble? Impossible.

Liu Mu had achieved her purpose for stopping here, and she planned to take the other half of the samples back to Hong.

As for why she had to have two laboratories in a place as small as Haicheng?

That, of course, had its reasons; the Barrier Laboratory belonged to the Barrier, and Hong's belonged to Liu Mu herself, but that wasn't the main reason.

The profit-driven Liu Mu calculated very precisely: she could know and use what was researched in the Barrier Laboratory, but as for the things produced on Hong's side, heh heh, if the Barrier wanted to use them, they would have to pay something.

Don't talk to her about dedication or responsibility; please, she was an acting leader forced into the position, not a formal employee.

What one holds in one's own hands is what is truly one's own!

If you call her selfish, she admits it; after all, she looks at problems from the perspective of a merchant, and merchants don't get up early unless there is profit to be made.

The profit-driven Liu Mu ultimately left the Sea Soul Team at the laboratory, and amidst the longing gazes of a group of soldiers, she found an excuse: "Before the next mission, you are responsible for the safety of the laboratory."

Then, she left, leaving without a shred of attachment.

Currently, there were basically few Sea Soul Team members who had been to Liu Mu's Shengli Group, but they had eaten the food Liu Mu brought out; it was especially delicious, and they wanted to eat more.

"Didn't the Boss say she would bring me back with her?"

Someone muttered resentfully.

Someone echoed, "Yeah, I still want to see our Big Sister; of course, eating something would be fine too."

Zheng Tian said, "There will be opportunities in the future; the Boss must have had her own considerations, and besides, she has so much work to handle, maybe she doesn't even have time to spend with our Big Sister herself."

The crowd was silent, but they clearly didn't believe it.

Liu Mu could certainly spend more time with her family; don't be ridiculous, the Extreme Cold had arrived, did she still need to run around every day? No, she wanted a vacation!

She wanted to properly recuperate her overworked body.

"Should I drink some traditional Chinese medicine? I remember someone saying that using traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate the body has very good results."

Heitao A took the initiative to remind her, 【Host, you are only mentally exhausted; your body does not have any problems.】

Liu Mu pretended not to hear and lay on the dog's back, swallowing her saliva. It wasn't just the people from the Sea Soul Team who were greedy; she herself missed home, and she didn't want to share the delicious food with anyone.

Gouzi passed by the plantation, and Liu Mu lifted the blanket to take a look; the newly planted Chinese cabbage was covered with a thin layer of snow, and if one ignored the various strangely shaped Mutated Plants in the distance, it really did look a bit like a vegetable patch in winter before the apocalypse.

"Are these Mutated Plants not afraid of the cold?"

【It should be that the temperature is not low enough yet; plants do not react to the environment as quickly as animals, and different degrees of Mutation are also one of the reasons. Once the temperature is low enough, they will abandon the parts above ground and do their best to preserve their own lives.】

Plants also "break their tails to survive"; this is a very normal operation.

Liu Mu looked at the workers busy setting up greenhouses between the vegetable plots, and another wave of worry arose.

"I don't know how many degrees these greenhouses can withstand; Big Sister worked so hard to plant so much, I hope they can mature for one season."

The Extreme Cold temperature dropped rapidly, and no one knew if the sea would be frozen solid when they woke up tomorrow; all the workers could do was try their best to keep the vegetables that hadn't grown yet warm.

Over the past two days, everything that could be harvested in the plantation had been harvested, leaving only what was truly green and immature, or parts that hadn't grown out yet.

Pulling out vegetable seedlings that were less than half a foot tall with her own hands, the planting heart deeply hidden in the bones of the people was truly painful.

Liu Mu had amazing hearing and heard the workers discussing from far away.

"If only they could grow for another half a month; they are just at the time when they grow fast."

"Who's to say? This temperature drops just like that; the heavens change their face too quickly."

"Don't mention it, this batch of radishes is still just seedlings; I don't know if they can still grow into water radishes."

"I'm afraid it's difficult; the underground planting room has limited space, otherwise Xiao Feng would have transplanted them down there."

Before she was noticed by the workers, Liu Mu urged Niu Boyi to leave.

The current temperature had already reached -8°C; with the greenhouses covered, the inside should be able to rise by ten degrees or so.

After the temperature dropped, the daily working hours of the planting workers had been changed to five hours at noon; if the temperature continued to drop, the time would have to be shortened until the day when people could no longer come to the surface.

There were too many things on her mind, so much so that when she smelled the fragrance of food, Liu Mu still couldn't quite react.

The small building was still that same small building; the construction of the Headquarters did not include the small building and the innermost wall in the plan; on the contrary, it had been repaired and had insulation layers added.

"Niu Boyi? Why are you the only one? Where is Xiao Mu?"

Xu Xiaofeng saw the large Da Gouzi walking into the wall through the double-layered glass window and immediately came out to greet it, but she didn't notice the bulge under the blanket on the dog's back.

"Was there something that delayed her again? Didn't she say she would definitely be back this time?"

"No, no, no, I'm here!"

Liu Mu lifted the blanket, jumped down directly, and said somewhat apologetically, "I was just distracted thinking about something; Big Sister, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back," Xu Xiaofeng's eyes were a bit hot; since the apocalypse, this was the first time Liu Mu had been away for so long.

Although they could occasionally use the system to contact each other, she would still worry if she couldn't see the person; the dangers of the outside world were not something she, who was rooted in this place, could imagine.

"Come into the house first, quick, it's too cold outside."

Having lived by the sea for over twenty years, she had never experienced such low temperatures; Xu Xiaofeng had only been out for a short while and already felt her whole body was ice cold.

The Great Master Flower was also a plant that lived in the subtropics; even after Mutation, it couldn't withstand the freezing.

As soon as she entered the house, "Whoa, good fellow, everyone is here?"

Not to mention the child Zhang Xiaoyong, Hong, Li Gang, Liu Fugui, and He Qizheng were there, and Cai Zhenlong and Yang Pingxi had actually come too.

The living room, which was usually quite spacious, was suddenly crowded with a dozen people, looking very lively.

"Boss, you're back."

Liu Fugui was wearing thick cotton clothes, his whole person looking even more portly; he came up smiling to shake hands with Liu Mu, "Boss, you're finally back. When they said the Extreme Cold had suddenly arrived, we were all worried that you wouldn't be able to make it back on the way."

"This little bit of temperature drop is nothing," Liu Mu feigned ease; after shaking hands here, she turned back and waved at Niu Boyi.

Da Gouzi was brought back to his kennel by Xu Xiaofeng, happy and joyful; he had already smelled the fragrance of food, and his big tail wagged so hard that it swept all the snowflakes in the courtyard clean.

Everyone greeted each other enthusiastically, with the excitement and fervor of comrades reuniting.
