Global Flood: I Survive on Duckweed

Upon hearing this, Jing Shu’s eyes lit up. One hundred Evolution Potions meant their base would gain around twenty-five Evolvers.

"In that case, thank you!" Jing Shu replied.

"However, I must remind you that successfully using an Evolution Potion doesn’t guarantee a Superpower will appear!" Bao Mu sent another message.

Jing Shu was completely stunned. "What do you mean by that?"

"It’s just as it sounds. According to the results from live experiments, only a small fraction of people develop Superpowers. The rest also evolve, but only in terms of their physical conditioning!" Bao Mu replied. "When the success rate is low, it’s easy to overlook this detail!"

The data Bao Mu had was a collection of all experimental data from the Sea Eagle Country and its lackey fleets. This point had only been discovered in the last few days.

"It’s our own fault for being too utilitarian before, focusing only on Superpowers!" Bao Mu added with a sigh.

Jing Shu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "I think there’s another reason besides that. After the flood, some people’s physical conditioning did improve drastically. If that happened during an experiment, it would have been attributed to other causes!"

Bao Mu agreed. "Exactly. In truth, those people with drastic physical improvements are also Evolvers who evolved naturally, they’re just not as conspicuous as those with Superpowers!"

"I understand!" Jing Shu replied.

"I’ll arrange for a team to deliver these Evolution Potions to you tomorrow!" Bao Mu continued.

"Alright, thank you!" Jing Shu replied.

With all the intel Bao Mu had provided, Jing Shu was about seventy or eighty percent convinced.

’Looks like I need to screen the Evolvers in the base!’ Jing Shu immediately summoned his aide and ordered him to compile a list of all personnel in the base who had experienced a drastic increase in physical conditioning and to gather them.

Although the aide was confused, he accepted the order and left.

Just then, Bao Mu suddenly sent a message: "Did our team really leave your base?"

Jing Shu paused. "Of course. We watched them leave. Did something happen?"

"We’ve lost contact with them," Bao Mu replied.

Jing Shu immediately frowned. "We definitely watched them leave. Did they have another mission somewhere else?"

"We’ll investigate from the location where we lost contact!" Bao Mu replied, his tone clearly showing he no longer trusted Jing Shu.

Jing Shu felt a sense of helplessness. ’We didn’t do anything, but now we have to take the blame!’

"Do you need our assistance with the investigation?" Jing Shu asked, resigning himself to showing concern. After all, he still wanted those one hundred free Evolution Potions.

"You can. The location where they disappeared is quite close to you. I’ll send you the coordinates, and you can help by taking a look!" Bao Mu’s tone seemed to have improved slightly.

"Alright!" Jing Shu agreed, then immediately arranged for a speedboat to head to the location where contact was lost.

Inside Xi’an Base, a person standing before Bao Mu asked respectfully, "Sir, should we dispatch a team to the point of lost contact?"

Bao Mu nodded slightly. "Send two speedboats. Be extremely careful. There was a Gold-Type Evolver on the boat that lost contact!"

"Yes, sir!" The person turned and left.

Bao Mu pondered for a moment, then instructed his assistant beside him, "Analyze the intelligence we just received from Dawn Base. See if you can find any clues."

"Yes, sir!"

Xi’an Base was still trying to find information on Peach Blossom Base, but at this moment, all was quiet within Peach Blossom Base itself.

Occasionally, a pure white mouse would dart out onto a banyan trunk, stand up on its hind legs to look around, and then vanish into the dense woods in a flash.

Outside the Banyan Forest, the wind and waves still raged, but they couldn’t affect the interior.

The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, Hua Lingfang found Ren Yuanyang.

"Chief, at the rate those two pigs are growing, they’ll probably need to be bred soon. I’ve only ever seen it done a long time ago. If I have to do it myself, there might be problems!" Hua Lingfang said with a deep frown.

Ren Yuanyang shrugged helplessly. "You’re the only one in the base who’s ever seen it done; the rest of us haven’t got a clue. So we have to rely on you. But don’t be too nervous. Just stay calm and do your best."

’He had already enhanced the sow’s reproductive ability and offspring survival rate. As long as he doesn’t completely mess it up, there shouldn’t be any major problems.’

Hua Lingfang nodded slightly. "Of course I’ll handle the breeding for now. But it would be best if we could find someone more professional!"

"I understand, but specialists are hard to find these days!" Ren Yuanyang lamented.

Most specialists had already been scooped up by the various major bases. Even if Peach Blossom Base put out a call for recruitment, there was no guarantee they’d find anyone.

Furthermore, recruiting new people also made it easy to inadvertently hire spies from other bases.

"It’s certainly a troublesome situation!" Hua Lingfang sighed, then started walking out. "I’ll go check on the pigpen first."

"Okay." Ren Yuanyang took out his phone and saw that Wang Jun had actually sent him a message around midnight yesterday.

In addition to the Evolutionary System compiled by Zhao Jun’s side, they had also proposed a second trade.

This time, they were prepared to offer three pairs each of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese. According to the price Ren Yuanyang had previously promised them, one type of livestock or poultry could be exchanged for one hundred Evolution Potions. These six types would trade for six hundred Evolution Potions!

Although Ren Yuanyang already had chickens and pigs, he didn’t fuss over the details and accepted the entire deal.

"Your Evolutionary System is very comprehensive, and I have no objections to the trade you’ve proposed. Let’s set the time for tomorrow morning. I’ll notify you of the specific location later!" Ren Yuanyang replied to Wang Jun.
