Huo Li looked at everyone’s excited expressions and nodded with satisfaction. He then continued to say: “As a member of the Salvation Alliance, I am very happy that everyone has this kind of understanding! In order to save your homeland, everyone must put in their strengths and join in defending the cabbages!” Huo Li solemnly raise the flat cabbage in his hand once again. “This is a kind of highly intelligent organism. When its quantity reaches a certain level, it will be able to control the surrounding machines!”
“Heavens! So powerful!”
“Wow, is this true?”
“God! We’re saved!”
“Yes, you didn’t hear wrong. When the quantity of this smart cabbage reaches a critical point, the nearby helicopters and even the mechanical soldiers can all be for our use! Hence, our main task at this stage is to ensure the flourishing growth of every smart cabbage! We also must ensure that they won’t be discovered by the reconnaissance drones.” Looking over the crowd, Huo Li raised his voice and asked: “Can everyone do this?”
“Yes!!!”
More than a hundred survivors, both young and old, let out an earth-shattering roar that caused some dust to fall from the ceiling.

“We remember!!!” Everyone shouted.
“Achoo!” The black dust falling in the mine caused the black-haired youth the sneeze, but he couldn’t help but express his admiration for Mister Huo’s strange way of thinking: This way, he wouldn’t need to keep watch over the cabbage field every day. How did he not think of such a great operation during the day to let these people directly shout at the cabbages……
At this moment, Huo Li had already finished announcing that along with the growth and expansion of the smart cabbage field, they also must increase the number of people observing the surroundings and defending. Huo Li then finally asked the black-haired youth who was left to one side: “Mister Yi, do you have anything else to add?”
“Ah, Mister Huo explained things very well. I only have one thing to add.” The black-haired youth said: “Previously, I promised everyone that I would borrow 800 kilograms of purple algae from this mine base for food transformation and then return the same amount after a day. However, I now have a better proposal: for 3 meals a day, you can send someone over to the smart cabbages and report the name of a dish. The black roots in the cabbage field will serve the food within a few minutes. This way, the food will be paid back daily until it reaches 800 kilograms. What does everyone think?” That is, I intend to cheat my 800 kilogram debt!
“We can still eat the kind of food we ate today?”
“Great, I don’t want to eat purple algae congee anymore!”
103 people unanimously agreed to this decision, rejoicing in the fact that they would be able to eat more delicious meals. They were not the slightest bit aware at this ‘Mister Yi’ intended to use interest to pay off his debt. And thus, the communal meal and operation meeting of the mine base successfully ended!
Early morning the next day, Xiao Yi left behind 400 kilograms of black strands around the mine and transformed them into smart cabbages. After watching Red Beard Jack arrange 16 people with binoculars to guard the surroundings, the two of them decided to continue on their journey and look for bases to borrow provisions and grow cabbages.
After asking Red Beard Jack, they found out that the nearest human base to the mine base was the valley base, located approximately 400 kilometres west in the mountains.
At the request of Huo Li, Red Beard also personally wrote a letter to the valley base, tearfully describing the glorious deeds of the great Mister Yi and Mister Huo: food transformation, smart cabbages and so on. His words poured out and he ended up writing several thousand characters. With this letter, the black-haired youth guessed that Huo Li probably didn’t want to tamper with the memories of the survivors in the valley base.
When the two of them were about to set off, Huo Li didn’t take out a teleportation charm. Instead, he turned to the youth and said: “If you want to maintain a connection with the cabbage field, then you need to scatter you black strands along the way. Using a teleportation charm definitely won’t work.” Saying this, Huo Li confidently used his wind ability and rose up. Flying a circle around the black-haired youth, he chivalrously made an inviting gesture: “Xiao Yi, let me take you to fly over together!”
The black-haired youth glanced at Huo Li’s right arm that was maintaining an inviting posture and then looked at his smiling eyes. Letting out a gentle laugh, he instantly alienated himself into a huge black eagle. Spreading his wings, he directly soared into the sky and flew towards the west.
Huo Li: “……”
Two hours later, this strange combination of a person and a bird flew westward the entire way and arrived overhead above a group of barren mountains. In order not to be taken as enemy drones by the valley survivors and accidentally injured, the two of them swooped down and landed at the foot of a mountain. Rather than saying it was a mountain, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a field of tall dirt mounds mixed with stones. There was not a single tree on top of the mountains, nor even a blade of grass.
Huo Li used his consciousness to perceive the surroundings and then said to the black-haired youth: “Starting from the west side of that mountain peak, the entire ridge has been hollowed out by the survivors. There are more than 4200 people living inside. This should be the valley base. The leaders are the two siblings surnamed Claire.”
Thus, the black-haired youth walked over towards the western mountain peak under Huo Li’s lead. When they climbed halfway up the mountain, Huo Li directly shouted in D planet’s language towards the guards wearing light brown clothing and hiding behind the mountain rocks:
“We are missionaries of the Salvation Alliance. We have an urgent matter to discuss with your leaders, the Claire siblings.”
When the two hidden soldiers heard them mention the Claire siblings, they slightly relaxed their vigilance and walked out from behind the mountains rocks. However, they still kept their guns raised towards Xiao Yi and Huo Li. After the detector carried by the soldiers determined that the two people weren’t machines, the guards finally lowered their guns and one of them said:
“You two follow me!” He then turned around and lead the way.
