CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 288: SILENT EXTREME NIGHT (PART 4)

The benefits obviously greatly aid superpowers and evolution, but there are significant drawbacks, such as... they will not see the sun for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian immediately walked towards car No. 3. When he passed car No. 2, KIKI was still asleep. Lin Xian stopped to look and found that she seemed to have recovered well, which relieved him.

In this battle of Xilan City, KIKI faced the most dangerous situations. It seems her superpower detection surpassed the Frenzy Level with a rating of 2000, but essentially she was just a 16-year-old girl who had only learned her superpower less than a month ago. She was nearly exhausted by the giant sea urchin and needed to recover well.

As for why he could recover faster, Lin Xian mused that it was probably because the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube transformed energy for him.

At this moment, Lin Xian arrived at car No. 3 and did not see Ding Junyi. It wasn’t until he reached car No. 4 that he saw Director Ding busy with a few young team members harvesting vegetables.

"Cut the carrot tops with the greens attached to 3 centimeters, place the root end up in the culture dish, and after about 2-3 days new sprouts will grow, which can be placed back into the hydroponic box."

"Place the cut lettuce roots in water, but not more than 2 centimeters deep. You should pay attention to the temperature of car No. 4. Lettuce is sensitive to temperature; overheating will cause wilting. The optimal growth temperature is between 15°C and 25°C, which is very suitable for growing in a place where sunlight cannot reach directly."

As Ding Junyi harvested, she carefully explained. When she saw Lin Xian walk in, she immediately stood up and said,

"Lin Xian, you’re awake?"

"Captain Lin!!"

The other team members exclaimed excitedly at this moment but immediately realized they were too loud and quickly shrank their necks and covered their mouths.

Lin Xian made a shushing motion to them, and the team members nodded.

"Director Ding, we’ll take these to be juiced now."

"Go ahead," Ding Junyi said, and after they left, she turned to Lin Xian and said, "It’s been an endless night, and with the prolonged exposure to the monster tide in Xilan City, the dark invasion will be severe, so I prepared more vegetable juice."

Lin Xian opened his mouth; he had come precisely for this matter, not expecting Ding Junyi to have already taken action.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian nodded. He looked at Ding Junyi and suddenly took a few steps forward to give her a big hug.

"Thank you, Director Ding, thank you for your research, thank you for the Dark Mark."

After passing the Dazhu Mountain Plateau, it was due to Ding Junyi and the Hell Black Chrysanthemum from Underground City No. 9 that the Infinity reached this point. It was also because of Wei Kexue, Elder Guo, and countless scientific researchers’ sacrifices that verified the Dark Mark theory, allowing tens of thousands in Xilan City to survive until now.

Seeing her back on the Infinity, Lin Xian wanted to give her a strong hug.

Ding Junyi was caught off guard by the hug, her calm demeanor flashed with surprise,

"This... it’s nothing."

Lin Xian released her, placing his hands on Ding Junyi’s shoulders: "How could it be nothing? You, Wei Kexue, Guo Sicheng, Leader Yu, Professor Zhang, and these scientific team members, do you know how many people the Dark Mark has saved? You deserve the highest honors in the scientific community."

In response, Ding Junyi adjusted her glasses and said calmly,

"For scientists, the other shore of truth is not the crown of honor, but the well of salvation carved by intellect in desolation. As a member of humanity, I am very honored to contribute my strength, so I do not value honor."

"Of course..."

Ding Junyi looked at Lin Xian, her gaze deep: "Your recognition of me gives me immense satisfaction."
