"There's no need for such a big battle, right?"
The fat man was very awkward in the cabin.
The four members of Xiangli's team sat in a row, opposite a group of soldiers who were sitting at attention.
"We four players plus a team of soldiers, just to support those three researchers?" Fatty clicked his tongue, "I'm curious about what they came to exchange."
Captain Huang happened to be sitting opposite the fat man, closing his eyes and relaxing.
The fat man stuck his head out and flicked his tongue at the man in front of him.
"Captain Huang, we are so familiar with each other, let's get to know each other a little bit."
"..."
Captain Huang: "Why are you asking so much? Let's complete the task and make some contribution points, and the rest will be taken care of by the superiors."
The fat man sat back in his seat boredly.
"Is it possible that the research on zombie viruses has made progress?" The fat man touched his chin.
"Or should we say that City G has already developed a zombie vaccine? It has only been a dozen days since the zombie outbreak, but to be able to develop such a thing... Isn't it amazing!"
The fat man sighed.
Doctor: "It will take at least six months to develop a vaccine for a new virus. This is only if researchers know more about the virus. Otherwise, it will take several years to conquer it."
"The zombie virus is super contagious. Once it contaminates a wound, it will be infected and turn into a zombie within ten seconds. It is unlikely that such a powerful virus will have a breakthrough in a short time."
"I don't know what the level of scientific research is here. If it were...our hometown..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cabin became quiet.
The doctor, Rong Ye and Fatty were all in low spirits.
Xiang Li folded her hands and turned to look out the window.
Captain Huang heard the players talking about his hometown for the first time, and he wanted to ask something. He looked at the expressions of several people and swallowed his words.
"Ahem, our destination is Langqiong Mountain."
Captain Huang changed the subject.
"Langqiong Mountain is located in District 8 of City M, connected to District 3 of City G, with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters."
"The researcher from City G is now trapped somewhere in Langqiong Mountain, waiting for our rescue."
Langqiong Mountain has rugged terrain and overlapping peaks. It is a famous poor place throughout M City and even the country.
The local government even set up a special team to help the poor, but unfortunately the results were minimal.
There was also a joke that the villagers refused the good seeds provided by the staff and asked the female leaders who went to stay and become the wives of the old bachelors in the village.
Rongye: "Apart from zombies, there is no danger here, right? Other players are not interested in the indigenous...er survivors. Why don't the people in G city fly to the M city survivor base in a helicopter?"
Rong Ye lay on the helicopter window and looked at the rolling mountains outside the window.
Captain Huang did not answer the boy's question. He frowned and observed something carefully.
"What's wrong, Captain Huang?"
Everyone saw something wrong with his expression, and followed the man's gaze downward——
They were all dense, tall trees, nothing special.
"Here we are deep in the mountains, but we haven't seen a single bird."
Xiang Li quickly noticed the violation here.
It stands to reason that the more sparsely populated a forest is, the more species there are in the birds without human intervention.
But here it was unusual, not a single bird could be seen, and not a single bird call could be heard.
Was there something that shocked it and drove it away from the ground...or did all the living creatures become that thing's nourishment?
As if to verify Xiang Li's idea, the helicopter window in front was opened, and the soldiers inside released more than a dozen pigeons.
The pigeons were thrown out, kept staggering in mid-air, and then found themselves free and fled in all directions.
After flying no more than a hundred meters, a sound similar to a gunshot was heard.
The pigeons' bodies were penetrated by something, and they fell vertically, leaving only a few bloody feathers floating in the air.
The forest is too dense, and the pigeons cannot see anything when they fall.
"What the hell?" Everyone stared with wide eyes, watching what happened.
Are there still enemies lying in wait in the woods, waiting to catch them all? But that’s not right! With so many targets parked here, why just shoot pigeons?
There is only one possibility——
There are mutated monsters in the woods.
Xiang Li: "The things fired just now are seeds."
It has an oblate shape about the size of a soybean and can be fired at high speed to penetrate flesh and blood instantly.
"Seed?" Everyone looked at each other.
Could it be that they were attacked by mutated plants?
There are thousands of plants here. If they mutate collectively, even gods will have to stay here.
"No wonder someone needs to come to rescue them. Are they trapped here and unable to get out?!" Fatty murmured.
Captain Huang: "Well, I received news before that the helicopter the researcher from G City was shot down here. Fortunately, there were players with special abilities to protect it, and the three of them only suffered superficial injuries."
The body was shot into a sieve by countless seeds.
"However, there are many dangers here. We must find them as soon as possible and bring them back to the base safely." Captain Huang showed determination.
The fat man turned his head and looked at Captain Huang seriously: "Is the base dissatisfied with us? Using this roundabout method will make us die..."
"..."
Captain Huang raised his forehead and said, "Don't speculate! There are soldiers from G City escorting the researchers to explore the way. They know the characteristics of the mutated plants. As long as you are careful, everyone can escape safely."
"Okay! The helicopter is about to land. Each of you has a protective suit. Put it on quickly."
Captain Huang explained to several people that the thing below was speculated by experts to be a mutated banyan tree.
The mutated banyan tree likes to eat flesh and blood, has super dynamic vision, and captures all the creatures here.
The plants here are its eyes and ears.
As long as you don't touch the branches and leaves of the plant with your skin, the mutated banyan tree will most likely not find any living things sneaking in under its nose.
It was discovered that there was no major problem. Although the mutated banyan tree had super strong dynamic vision, its static vision was almost zero.
As long as you remain still when being attacked, the mutated banyan tree will lose its target and will soon find its prey.
Ronye: "So, the soldiers in G City are still alive? They're just trapped here and can't get out."
Captain Huang was silent for a moment and exhaled a foul breath.
"No, they're all dead."
