Mai Fan was extremely surprised. It had only been a few minutes, but something happened to their team again?
But Captain Xie and his teammates were even more surprised than Mai Fan.
"What did you say? Did you discover a new species? Hahaha! Mai Fan, you really..."
"Hahahaha... It's so funny. It's easy for newcomers to make mistakes like this... There's nothing we can do about it. The update of the plant map is always slower than the discovery speed..."
"Also, they are too thick for a novice like you..."
Mai Fan took out a handful of sweet potato seedlings amidst the laughter: "Captain, is this in our map?"
"Hahahaha... hiccup?"
The burst of laughter stopped suddenly...
"You...where did you find it?"
Mai Fan pointed to the distant dense forest area... "Let's go there and take a look, lead the way..."
Following the captain's order, he led everyone deeper into the forest.
Mai Fan's speed was so fast that their teammates had to work hard not to lose him.
After running for a while, the team members discovered the existence of this cluster of vegetation in a somewhat rotten soil.
Maifan found that the new species were growing in soil that was completely different from those around it.
That patch of soil was as if it had been genetically mutated. It was dark... and looked very nutritious.
Harmless microorganisms, rationing of different trace elements…
If it weren't for the fact that there were no traces of stirring around...the captain would have suspected that someone had dug up the special soil from the laboratory and planted it in this worthless forest.
"We really haven't met... Mai Fan, your luck is... the best among the people I have ever met."
"What are you waiting for! Get the tools to collect!"
"Dig out all the soil from here...from here to here...all the soil!"
"I think we are about to have a second stroke of luck..."
"Who would think that they have too much money?"
The team members were extremely excited. This patrol really exceeded their expectations.
While everyone was working, they looked at Mai Fan from time to time...
But I found that his movements were different from everyone else. He actually dug holes in such precious soil with his hands.
"Mai Fan, what are you doing! You know if someone finds you destroying the specimen... Oh!! Oh oh oh! What is this!"
Mai Fan pulled a bunch of sweet potatoes from the soil.
The big one is longer than the face, and the small one is about the size of a fist.
"I just wanted to tell you, the specimens I'm talking about are not the soil here, the specimens I'm talking about are these guys."
After saying that, Mai Fan patted the soil off the surface of the sweet potatoes in front of the horrified eyes of his teammates.
The somewhat reddish skin was torn off, revealing the juicy red-but-white flesh...
"Don't...eat..."
Amidst the sounds of frightened gasps and stops, he took a big bite of the root.
"Oh my god! Spit it out, spit it out! Look, it's thick, and its juice has a poisonous milky white color emerging from it!"
"It's also incredibly sweet! There's only one possibility for a plant like this in the wild..."
Even the stupidest wood rat didn't dare to speak.
Because sweetness means danger, the more seemingly harmless and quiet a plant is, the more unpalatable it is to others.
But it was too late. Not only did this new teammate not listen to their advice... but he also chewed the plant to a crisp.
"Oh my god, I finally have something that I can put in my mouth."
To be honest, not many people in the real world eat sweet potatoes... but here...
This crispy and sweet bite is so rare.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, please don't tell the truth... When I discovered them, I couldn't help myself and tried one..."
"In my opinion... I can't resist its taste... It's about time before I finish eating this new species..."
"It's been an hour... Look... I'm not poisoned, nor have I had any uncomfortable reactions."
"So does anyone want to try it...this is really delicious!"
Gulu... everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva...
But no one was tempted by Mai Fan...
"You have to go back for a checkup immediately... maybe there are some dangerous bacteria that have started to invade your body..."
Although after returning to the shelter, if they find something wrong... there is nothing they can do...
It's better than him infecting everyone with something inexplicable...
This kind of thing really happened... Some people only eat a bite of the fruit...
Three days later, when people found him again, his capsule room had been invaded by a parasite.
As a well-informed old patrolman...the most dangerous thing is the thing you know nothing about.
Therefore, Mai Fan, a bold newcomer, was treated as a dangerous object and was urgently isolated together with the new samples.
After they sent Mai Fan up with the samples...
They began to worry about their new teammates.
"To be honest, I quite like this boy..."
"Isn't it? There is something magical about him, and that is luck..."
"Yes, since he came to our team, everyone's luck has indeed become...excellent."
Just now, the instruments in the specimen testing center gave them prices for the soil and plant samples they had retrieved.
This is a soil sample that has never been found in the laboratory. The ratio of trace elements and moisture contained in it is very similar to the soil of the world before the catastrophe, which was rich in harmless products.
This discovery made researchers at the institute extremely excited.
They don't know whether this atavistic phenomenon is a good thing or a bad thing... but as long as there is a piece of this soil sample...
They can study its approximate proportions and restore a large piece of similar land...
Later, the plants that most resemble ancient plants were transplanted into this soil, and the air environment at that time was restored as much as possible... and efforts were made to cultivate these plants...
Because they really want to know how delicious ancient plants that did not evolve themselves or evolved very slowly would be.
The taste recorded in those ancient documents...
It's really tempting.
As for Mai Fan on the other side, he has been released by the inspection and quarantine agency.
He has undergone thorough testing, and no parasites or deadly germs have been found in his hair or blood.
As for the test of the residue in his stomach, it was even more healthy.
After nutritional analysis by medical institutions...
Although that thing cannot satisfy the nutritional supply of modern people...
But just talking about sweetness...
