Chapter 741 Xin Xiao wanted to keep the person here.
Bai Mianmian didn't care what Xin Xiao was thinking. After calming down, she gently twitched her right index finger.
Invisible mushroom spores immediately descended upon the heads of those who emerged, and then, under her control, red-capped, white-spotted mushrooms sprouted densely on everyone's heads.
The sudden appearance of unfamiliar superpowers above their heads caused almost everyone's bodies to tremble, instantly stiffening like iron. However, they quickly suppressed the urge to remove the mushrooms from their heads.
Xin Xiao's previously unfocused gaze was immediately stunned when it fell on the mushrooms on everyone's heads.
She... she meant to handle it together, and she really meant to handle it together, instead of having them take turns!
When I first saw her plant so many mushrooms on their heads at the same time, I thought that even if she hadn't reached her limit, she was close to it.
Now it seems... that's a huge difference!
"Do you have any way to remove that metal collar?" Bai Mianmian asked Xin Xiao after making everyone's heads grow mushrooms.
She couldn't control the mushroom explosion to blast open the metal collar around someone's neck; otherwise, the collar would break and the person would be gone.
So she was a little curious about how they would open that metal collar.
Xin Xiao, who was still in shock, immediately looked at Bai Mianmian and explained, "Ahem, well... once we get back, professionals will handle it. As long as you don't use your powers, that metal collar will be fine."
I used to worry about the locator that came with the metal collar.
When this temporary base was established, they took many defensive measures to prevent it from being located.
Now, those defensive measures are useless, because the research institute has collapsed and the doctor has been buried deep underground, so the locator is essentially gone.
Bai Mianmian glanced at him but didn't ask why he was so familiar with that metal collar.
After nodding slightly, she looked away and lowered her eyes to prepare for the meal, as it would get cold if she didn't eat soon.
Seeing that she had no intention of continuing the conversation, Xin Xiao wisely refrained from initiating a topic of conversation.
And since he didn't speak, the others dared not speak up either.
For a moment, the room fell silent, and the atmosphere... became a little strange.
Xin Xiao and about a hundred others stood motionless, their gazes fixed on Bai Mianmian.
Bai Mianmian originally thought that they would look away after a while.
After all, staring at someone eating is really impolite.
However, even after drinking the lotus root and pork rib soup and eating several bites of vegetables, those people's eyes were still on him.
Bai Mianmian paused in her eating, then slowly raised her eyes to look at Xin Xiao, who was closest to her.
Their eyes met suddenly, and Xin Xiao was taken aback for a moment before asking earnestly, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Could it be that something went wrong because the superpower was used up too much?
If something happens to her, will they be okay?
A hint of worry appeared in Xin Xiao's eyes.
"If you want to eat there, you can get the food tested to see if there's anything wrong with it," Bai Mianmian said calmly.
As for the food, if the test results show it's inedible, then there's nothing she can do.
She was too unfamiliar with the Marais Galaxy, and she had lost a food storage device shortly after arriving here. Without a way to obtain new food, she would not take out the food from the storage device to share with them.
They could get about a third of the nutrients.
"Uh..." Xin Xiao then realized that staring at people was extremely impolite.
A hint of embarrassment crossed his face, and he waved his hand, saying, "No need, we're not hungry. We just drank the nutrient solution, so we're really not hungry at all right now."
Although he was quite tempted by the dishes, he was certain he hadn't been looking at them at all. The others, too, lowered their gazes to the ground.
With no more distracting stares, Bai Mianmian turned her attention back to her meal, but soon stopped again.
"What are you all doing standing there?" Bai Mianmian's gaze swept from Xin Xiao to the crowd standing in line.
"Don't you like us standing?" Xin Xiao asked, then raised her hand to gesture for the others to sit down, and said, "Then let's all sit down."
"Yes!" A unified response rang out, and the people in the queue, along with Han Feitong and Pan Cheng, immediately sat down on the ground.
Xin Xiao also sat down on the ground, looking down at the ground in front of him.
Bai Mianmian, the only one sitting in a chair present: "..."
Speechless, Bai Mianmian gave up and ignored them.
As long as they stop staring at her like that, and stop standing there like a wall, that's fine.
The meal continued, and the only sounds in the quiet space were Bai Mianmian eating.
As time passed, the tearing pain in Xin Xiao and the others' heads gradually lessened.
Feeling much more relaxed, Xin Xiao and the others listened to the rhythmic sounds of eating, which, surprisingly, was quite hypnotic.
Especially those who were seriously injured, their eyes, which were already slightly lowered and looking at the ground, drooped even lower without them realizing it.
Just a little bit more and the eyes will be completely closed.
Just as everyone was dozing off, Bai Mianmian, who was eating, noticed that the mushrooms had almost reached their limit in absorbing pollutants. She then took a moment to make the mushrooms on their heads dissipate and then spurred the growth of a new batch of mushrooms.
The group, who had almost gotten used to the presence of the mushrooms above their heads, were suddenly jolted awake the moment the mushrooms disappeared. But before they could react, the energy from the mushrooms returned.
"???!" Everyone was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the mushrooms above the heads of the people in sight.
What just happened?!
If Bai Mianmian were to turn around and look at them at this moment, she would notice something amiss.
Except for Xin Xiao, who would slightly turn his neck, the others, even though their eyes were darting around, kept their heads as stiff as wood, completely motionless.
After waiting for a while, and noticing that the pain in their heads was gradually subsiding and nothing else was happening, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Mianmian ate her meal ten minutes longer than usual.
She had promised to give Xin Xiao and the others only one meal, but after the meal, she leisurely finished the lemon tea she hadn't finished earlier.
Another twenty minutes passed.
Looking at Xin Xiao and the others, their faces were all dazed, each lost in their own thoughts, and without exception, they all seemed absent-minded.
Since arriving in the Marai system, they had never felt so relaxed, as if they were dreaming.
"That's all for today." Bai Mianmian's cold voice rang out in the quiet space.
Xin Xiao and the others were instantly jolted awake, and they all looked at her with puzzled eyes. For a moment, no one understood what Bai Mianmian meant.
"Take me out," Bai Mianmian said to Xin Xiao.
The sooner she deals with the red-hatted, white-spotted mushroom in her mind, the sooner she can go back to find Jiang Ci.
After considering Bai Mianmian's words, Xin Xiao's lips twitched slightly.
He... wanted to keep the person here.
