Chapter 212: Wasteland Calendar Day 37: Pupaing and New Sprouts
Wasteland Calendar Day 37.
Yu Yuan awoke to the aroma of food.
When he walked out of the Rest Area, Fang and Doctor had already prepared the meal.
The other members of the Jackal team were already organizing their equipment and weapons, their expressions calm and composed.
"King! Good morning!"
Everyone greeted Yu Yuan as he appeared.
Yu Yuan checked the time; it wasn't even six yet.
"Alright, time to eat!" Fang and Doctor brought out the food.
Yu Yuan told everyone to eat quickly, but he himself went down to the underground fourth level to check on the cultivation and breeding situation.
Inside the mealworm cultivation tanks, apart from the one mealworm that Yu Yuan fed a drop of Hundred Flowers Nectar to daily, all the others had already entered the pupation stage.The temperature on the underground fourth level wasn't low now, and with the electric blankets, these pupating mealworms would evolve into adults in at most a week, possibly even sooner.
After all, these were the mealworms carefully cultivated by Dale.
As for the mealworm fed Hundred Flowers Nectar, it had already exceeded Yu Yuan's understanding. After four or five days of feeding, its body was about 5 centimeters long, but it still hadn't triggered any introductory information on the Virtual Light Screen.
Clearly, it was still defined as an ordinary mealworm and hadn't evolved into a special individual.
However, its completely different state compared to the other mealworms gave Yu Yuan hope.
"There are still about fifteen drops of Hundred Flowers Nectar left. I hope it can complete its transformation before they're all used up!"
He placed great expectations on this mealworm.
"Hmm~~ This mealworm might give Professor Dale some cultivation inspiration."
Thinking this, Yu Yuan began inspecting the other facilities.
The incubation data displayed in the Nizi Water Arrow Turtle Incubation Nest was all good.
Everything was within normal range. Hatching was still about ten days away, and Yu Yuan could only hope everything went smoothly.
The growth of the Green-haired Seaweed, however, was quite good. It had visibly grown a section, which pleased Yu Yuan greatly.
"Maybe I can have Dale research this Green-haired Seaweed later."
The wild chives in the Crazy Planting Trough, under Yu Yuan's deliberate cultivation over the past few days, had entered the bolting stage.
This meant they were no longer growing chive leaves but had started growing flower stalks (scape), and a terminal umbel had already formed at the top of the stalk, wrapped in a layer of white spathe.
Once the flower buds inside developed fully, the spathe would rupture.
Then, the chive flowers on the umbel would bloom one after another.
"Pollination preparations need to be made too. It's a shame. If that Scent-Seeking Bee hadn't died, it would have been a good choice for pollen dispersal."
The Hydroponic Planting Racks also brought Yu Yuan a pleasant surprise.
Because the rosemary and carrot seeds had sprouted!
Tiny green shoots could be seen emerging from the planting sponges.
Though they were still incredibly fragile and insignificant, they showed Yu Yuan the burst of life and the hope for the future.
"Good! Excellent!"
Seeing everything developing in the direction he envisioned, his mood instantly felt incredibly refreshed.
But right at that moment!
Mie Mie~~
A piercing sound rang in Yu Yuan's ears.
Huh?
Looking back, it was that Ram from the Cree Mountain sheep flock, once again giving him a challenging look.
"Don't be impatient. The rosemary has sprouted. Focus on growing some good meat for me!"
Yu Yuan purchased another batch of green grass from the Taotao Hole and fed it to the Cree Mountain sheep.
Returning to the third floor, he quickly finished his meal and began checking today's newspaper.
He saw a new newspaper.
Picking it up, he realized it was actually The Green Forest Enterprise Star newspaper.
Yu Yuan remembered this newspaper vividly. Last time, it was here that he saw the interview reports about Loris and Fries's father.
That was how he finally pinpointed the exact location of the Fries Safe House.
He just didn't know whose old news would appear this time.
【Powerful Alliance — Green Forest Sea Oil Group and Songyuan Oil Refinery Reach Strategic Agreement!】
Quality: Bronze
Yesterday, our city's Green Forest Sea Oil Group and Songyuan Oil Refinery signed a strategic cooperation agreement, becoming strategic partners.
Green Forest Sea Oil Group President Sulaiye and Songyuan Oil Refinery Chairman Feierle signed the cooperation agreement yesterday at the Songyuan Oil Refinery. The cooperation is expected to involve an annual transaction volume of several million tons, with an annual transaction scale reaching tens of billions.
Songyuan Oil Refinery Chief Engineer Xilai Victor introduced the refinery's latest equipment and technology to Sulaiye...
——————
Yu Yuan's gaze fell on the name at the end — Xilai Victor, which reminded him of the Burning Fortress leader — Black Lung Victor.
The content of the previous deal between Burning Fortress and Thug Prison.
Was that Burning Fortress would help Thug Prison gain control of the Eastern District.
In return, Thug Prison would help Burning Fortress secure the offshore oil fields in the Green Forest Sea.
At that time, Yu Yuan guessed that Burning Fortress's headquarters was either an oil refinery or an oil field mine; otherwise, it couldn't have a continuous supply of Fuel Oil.
Now, combining it with the content of this newspaper, Yu Yuan seemed to have found the answer.
"Songyuan Oil Refinery... Xilai Victor."
Yu Yuan recorded this information and then looked at today's Greenwood City Daily.
The weather today was quite good, finally ending the terrible weather that was either hail or thunderstorms.
However, the temperature had dropped a bit more, getting closer and closer to the second stage.

Yesterday, a group of scavenger organizations roaming the Eastern District and plundering survivors were captured by Nightingale.
With the support of Nightingale's new leader, Zoe, 9 Nightingale members performed their first sacrificial ritual last night.
Among the 9 members, 7 successfully completed the ritual. 2 members encountered accidents during the ritual. Under the control of an unknown force, they stabbed the ritual daggers into their own hearts, using their own blood to ensure the ritual proceeded.
According to undercover informants, many people were frightened nearly to the point of collapse last night. However, the 7 who completed the ritual all received Zoe's praise. The most outstanding among them was a woman named Qingqing.
She was consequently appointed by Zoe as her assistant.

Simon in District 8 witnessed an unforgettable scene yesterday: a giant rat, a full four meters long, attacked a scavenger gang.
That scavenger gang was originally his target. He needed to prepare for the upcoming extreme cold and had planned to plunder this scavenger gang in a couple of days, once his injuries had healed a bit more.
He never expected this rat to beat him to it.
Everyone in the entire gang was devoured by that giant rat; it was exceptionally brutal.
Its ferocity far exceeded that of the mutated creatures seen during the recent faction war.
However, he also profited from this misfortune. After the giant rat left, he infiltrated the stronghold and took away the remaining supplies from the scavenger gang.

According to information from this newspaper's informant.
At 4 AM today, the Burning Fortress Flame Knight Hans squad finally tracked the traces of the stolen supply trucks to the suburbs of the Northern District of Green Forest City.
After Burning Fortress leader Victor received the news, and because a large number of Flame Knights were pursuing the traitor Gaina, to ensure the safety of the Burning Fortress headquarters.
He sent a message via carrier pigeon requesting assistance from Thug Prison.
Thug Prison dispatched a twenty-man Raider squad to provide support. Upon hearing this, a mechanical transformer also requested to join the mission.
