Chapter 170 Hope of Survival

"Improved seeds?" Li Yihe was surprised.

She had only thought about the problem of purifying the soil, but she had never thought that seeds could be improved.

Song Chen put one hand on his knee and looked directly into Li Yihe's eyes.

"The end of the world brings not only disasters to mankind, but also various opportunities. It's just that the survivors now have problems even staying alive, so naturally they don't have the extra energy to think about these things."

"The soil contains not only elements that hinder the growth of crops, but also nutrients that can help them evolve."

"I don't know if you have encountered mutant plants during this period, but there is a mutant grape vine in the yard of my villa. It not only survived, but the grapes it produced can improve the abilities of the survivors, and even help ordinary people improve their physical fitness. Even the fruiting speed is much faster than before."

"If you can improve mutant seeds that can adapt to the current soil according to the standards of this grape vine, it will undoubtedly change the world, and it will also give the remaining survivors more hope to survive."

Song Chen said all his thoughts during this period in one go.

In the previous life, until the late end of the end of the world, the research experiment on improving seeds was considered successful.

But from the comparison of the effects, whether it is the strengthening of the supernatural physique or the yield, it is far inferior to the grape vine in Song Chen's yard.

Although it can slightly alleviate the food pressure at that time, Song Chen will definitely not be able to demand himself according to the standards of his previous life in his next life, otherwise what is the meaning of rebirth?

He hopes that Li Yihe can improve mutant crops with the same effect as grape vines.

After listening to Song Chen's words, Li Yihe also fell into deep thought.

Indeed.

In the past two months, I have been hiding from place to place, thinking all the time about how to guard against zombies and other supernatural people.

Although studying plants is her major, she has never thought about it.

"I am willing to do research in this area." Li Yihe made a decision quickly, "But before the research begins, I need to see the grape vine in your yard first."

"Of course no problem."

Song Chen agreed without hesitation. Even if Li Yihe did not take the initiative to propose it, he would let Li Yihe study the grape vine first.

"But this grapevine is a little special. I need to tell you in advance."

"What's special about it?" Li Yihe asked curiously.

"I brought this grapevine back when I was collecting supplies in the picking garden. It has never shown any aggressiveness from beginning to end, but I can occasionally feel the energy fluctuations of superpowers from it, but I don't know what the specific superpowers are. In short, my understanding of it is not much different from yours."

Song Chen's tone was a little helpless.

He really had no way to communicate with the grapevine, and he knew nothing about plant research.

If it was Lan Ya, Song Chen could still guess what it meant and what it wanted to express from its changes in eyes and expressions, but he really couldn't understand the grapevine at all.

Even to this day, he still didn't understand what superpowers the grapevine had awakened.

He used all the means he could, but he didn't find out anything.

Instead, the leaves of the grapevines turned yellow, and the number of them decreased. It seemed that they were about to die. Song Chen was so scared that he stopped the experiment and fed them a lot of crystal cores before they slowly recovered.

But now with Li Yihe, we should be able to discover the secrets of the grapevines.

This girl has awakened the natural ability.

Not the plant system, nor the wood system.

But the highest level of natural ability.

Thinking of this, Song Chen suddenly became impatient and immediately took Li Yihe back to the villa to study the grapevines.

Li Yihe followed Song Chen to the villa yard.

As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned by the scenery in front of him.

The spacious courtyard covered with dark gray floor tiles was transformed into a park-like environment with white pebbles and artificial lawns. There was a milky white swing in the corner, which was full of lifelike artificial flowers. It was exactly what a girl dreamed of.

What attracted Li Yihe the most was the oversized grape trellis on the right hand side of the door.

The nearly three-meter-high shelf is much higher than the villa's wall. It extends from the place close to the wall to not far outside the villa window. There are two sets of tables and chairs below. Tea sets are placed on one of the tables. Obviously, people often sit under the grape vines to rest.

Li Yihe excitedly trotted under the grape vine, and the rays of sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, making people feel warm and comfortable.

"This is too beautiful!"

Li Yihe couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart.

Even before the outbreak of the apocalypse, she rarely saw such beautiful grape vines.

Song Chen smiled slightly, pulled over a chair and sat down.

After this period of feeding, the grape vines have completely grown from their initial small and fragile appearance. Now the leaves are not only green, but the vines have also become much thicker.

In order to make it grow better, the grape vines have been repeatedly modified and expanded, and finally reached their current size.

On weekdays, Song Chen likes to lie on the rocking chair under the grape vines, drink some tea, and bask in the sun. It's so comfortable.

No one could imagine that this guy's initial stand was just made of two brooms.

Song Chen picked two bunches of grapes from the vine, washed them with pure water and placed them on the table.

"Come and taste the grapes and experience the effect I mentioned before."

Li Yihe picked a grape and threw it into her mouth.

The sweet and rich grape juice burst in her mouth, and the taste was better than she imagined, so she couldn't help but eat a few more.

After a bunch of grapes went into her stomach, Li Yihe suddenly felt that the energy in her body seemed to have increased slightly.

"Is this the effect of the grapes it produces?"

Song Chen smiled and nodded, "How do you feel? If you feel it's not enough, you can pick a few more bunches of grapes."

It happened that a breeze blew at this time, and the leaves of the grape vines trembled slightly.

Li Yihe shook her head, ran to the side of the grape rack, raised her hand and gently touched the grape vines.

Then her face changed.

"Huh? This is..."
