Chapter 294 Experimental Field

Chapter 294: Chapter 294 Experimental Field

The danger had passed, and everyone came out to sleep.

Xiao Nuan, already asleep, was cradled in Qin Yue’s arms.

Up to now, Jhiang Yuan still seemed a bit dazed.

Song Yi hadn’t returned all night, and the following day when everyone went to eat, they were still apprehensive.

"Sister Yuan, I was scared to death last night."

"Mianmian, did you see?"

"I only glimpsed for a moment, afraid of being discovered, so I moved the table to barricade the door, then hid on the bed."

Stirring the porridge in her bowl absentmindedly, Jhiang Yuan said, "Next time this happens, hide under the bed."

"Yeah, I was really silly."

The three of them hurriedly finished their meal and set off for the greenhouse.

The abnormality here wouldn’t affect the day’s work.

On the road to and fro, people bustled by; Fan Qing could see her worry.

"Sister Yuan, are you worried about Brother Song?"

"Yes, he didn’t come back all night, and I’m guessing there wasn’t just one bear yesterday..."

The danger implied in the rest of her sentence went unspoken, but everyone understood.

"Don’t overthink it, Brother Song is so capable, he will definitely be fine."

"Yes!"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to worry the two girls further, so she said nothing more.

There was nothing to be done now, nor did she have any place to ask around.

All she could do was wait; she had to trust Song Yi, his skills and weapons were top-notch, he would definitely be fine.

The morning was a daze, ever since the incident with Sister Zuo, everyone had become more cautious and subdued.

"Sister Ying, the doctor said to call a few people to the experimental field later, there’s a new batch of fungal strains that need planting."

"Alright!"

Jhiang Yuan heard about the doctor, who had seemingly also sent Sister Zuo over there.

Were these two the same person?

Or maybe, was there a connection with the laboratory Song Yi mentioned?

The experimental field?

It must be a place for small-scale demonstration after completing experiments.

"Ah Hong, come here."

"I’m here, Sister Ying..."

"You go notify the rest in the other greenhouses, gather here in five minutes."

"Alright..."

Jhiang Yuan knew they were likely selecting people for observation at work.

But was it that important?

It seemed Sister Ying took this matter very seriously; just who was this "doctor"?

She harbored doubts, yet she suppressed them.

Following the crowd, she gathered where Sister Ying stood at the forefront, announcing the work assignment.

They stood in the back; Jhiang Yuan dared not take it lightly.

She kept watching and observing those around her, relieved that no one showed signs of fear or anxiety.

Perhaps, she was overthinking it.

"Next, if you don’t meet the conditions I’m about to say, stand over here."

"Twenty years old and above, thirty years below..."

She didn’t expect age restriction to be the first condition.

What did this have to do with the work? Age had already been recorded during registration.

Now, there was no choice but to step out.

No sooner had Sister Ying finished speaking than, with a whoosh, more than half of the people walked away.

Only eleven were left, including the three of them still in the lineup.

"Good, those of you who haven’t been to college, go over there!"

Wow, they even required educational qualifications; this was utterly bizarre.

Ye Mianmian glanced at her, and with a nod from Jhiang Yuan, stepped away.

Now, only five people remained.

"How come there are only a few left? Never mind, it will have to be you guys then!"

Under normal circumstances, there should be a third and fourth criterion.

Sister Ying probably feared that if she continued with the overall selection, there would be no one left, so she did not go on.

"Alright, come with me!"

So, the five of them followed her into the enclosure.

This location was not on their usual route home at all, and Jhiang Yuan didn’t know where the experimental field was.

It was likely to be intricately connected to the laboratory, so it was good to explore a bit this time.

As they walked, there were quite a few people ahead.

Jhiang Yuan went over and actually saw Song Yi.

He was surrounded by a group of people, talking about something.

He suddenly looked up and their gazes met, both tacitly choosing not to speak.

Fan Qing also saw him and was quite excited.

It was good that nothing was amiss, but why was Song Yi with that group of people? Were they his colleagues?

Sister Ying led them all the way to the so-called experimental field.

This was also a greenhouse but not as large, only about four meters wide and ten meters long.

"Wait here..."

Sister Ying instructed, then went off to the courtyard next door.

No one knew what was inside, nor dared to follow.

It was a small two-story courtyard, and Jhiang Yuan thought that the laboratory might be inside.

The layout was also more convenient.

Moreover, the fact that there was someone on duty at the gate proved that the people or objects inside were very important.

When Sister Ying came out, she was accompanied by a person, very young, wearing glasses, dressed in a white lab coat.

This person didn’t look like a doctor but perhaps an assistant.

However, Sister Ying seemed to treat her with a lot of respect.

A group of people followed them into the experimental field, which was different from the greenhouse.

It was divided into several small blocks, each marked with little labels.

"You all, come over here quickly..."

"So today, we will be cultivating fungi on this log.

I will demonstrate for everyone, make sure you all watch carefully."

The bespectacled man said and picked up a special tool.

It looked like Sha Wujing’s Demon Suppressing Treasure Staff, but with only one side to it.

It wasn’t large but quite intricate.

He used this tool to break open the bark and then stuff the mycelium inside.

"This cut shouldn’t be too large or too small.

After you’re finished, make sure that the mycelium is inside and not visible from the outside..."

"Did everyone understand?"

Sister Ying shouted loudly, and the people below hurriedly answered, "Understood."

They were afraid of being slow and displeasing her.

"Alright, practice it a bit, I’ll come check on you in a while."

"Yes, take your time..."

They were not exactly bowing and scraping, but the attitude was still extremely respectful.

They were asked to demonstrate on a piece of wood, and Jhiang Yuan and Fan Qing also quickly got to work practicing.

They were unaware of the situation here, and if they didn’t do well, they feared that any potential punishment would be troublesome.

The tool was indeed quite sophisticated.

Wastage was definitely not acceptable, so they all took it very seriously.

Fortunately, all five of them passed the assessment.

Next, they were to help with planting the mycelium. On the rack next to them, there were many of these kinds of wooden sticks.

They were responsible for planting the mycelium, then spraying it with water, and placing it on the shelf.

They had to leave enough gaps, and Jhiang Yuan thought that this was for cultivating mushrooms.

It was similar to the mushroom logs she had bought before, a clever twist on the concept.

Presumably, the goal was to increase food diversity, so they were busy with development.

After all, many things are no longer available now.

To have them grow again requires certain technological methods.
