Li Siming was completely dumbfounded: "Jellyfish Snow Rabbit?"

He doesn't believe it!

He didn't pull it out!

He didn't do this!

Thinking this to himself, he immediately jumped up and retorted, "You're deliberately slandering me! I didn't do this!"

That's ridiculous! How could he possibly make such a basic mistake?!

Even if he misjudged and didn't recognize it, he absolutely cannot admit it in public!

"I didn't! You're lying! You're a liar! Jiang Wan, I liked you so much, and I even pleaded for you in front of Professor Qin back then! Do you really have no regard for our friendship and just want to crush me like this?!"

Jiang Wan watched him stomping around quietly, her expression contemptuous. After he finished stomping around, she even added, "At this point, instead of going back and forth about me slandering you and bringing up old grudges from classmates, you might as well say that you had snow blindness in the wild and couldn't see clearly."

She rarely showed her emotions, and naturally she rarely retorted like this, which was completely inconsistent with her aloof and noble queen persona. But today she was truly angered by Li Siming, that idiot!

After working for almost half a month, I not only accomplished nothing, but also ruined the jellyfish snow rabbit!

She pointed to the soldiers who had come out of the city with him and asked, "He said he didn't do it, so, did you do it?"

Jellyfish Snow Rabbit!

What a precious and rare species it is!

They just ruined it like that?!

She was so angry that her blood pressure skyrocketed!

"It's...it's him..."

"It's Li, Li Zhuan..."

"Pah! It was Li Siming who did it! I saw him uproot these plants with my own eyes!"

The team members had been thoroughly scolded by Old Chen, leaving them completely bewildered. What had they done? After leaving the city, the entire team had been busy eliminating mutated plants and constantly on alert for the possibility of zombies suddenly appearing.

They had seen how Jiang Wan transplanted plants in the dead of winter and wanted to do it the same way, but as soon as this expert Li left the city, he completely rejected Jiang Wan's approach and told them that they only needed to be responsible for his safety, and that everything else was up to him and they were not allowed to interfere!

At first, they didn't dare to speak up, but now that they heard Jiang Wan say this, they were all filled with righteous indignation. This was no expert at all; he was just a fraudster who was putting on a show!

With the accusations from the team members who left the city, any further explanation from Li Siming would only make him look like a clown!

The most speechless one was Battalion Commander Chen. Back then, he ignored Cheng Zhen's advice and was dissatisfied with Jiang Wan's opposition, insisting that Li Siming take over the task of saving wild plants and expanding the forest farm!

The angrier he was inside, the more composed he appeared on the surface.

But Cheng Zhen knew him well. Li Siming was definitely on Lao Chen's blacklist, the kind of person who was never going to get off.

Jiang Wan no longer cared about his fate; she only cared about the location where the jellyfish snow rabbit and the cypress white hair moss had appeared!

She had to hurry and see if there were any lucky ones who hadn't fallen victim to Li Siming's evil deeds!

So he pointed to the city guards who had gone out of the city with Li Siming and asked Old Chen, "Battalion Commander Chen, I need them to escort me out of the city now. Please approve."

Although she didn't say what she was going out of town for, everyone could sense the urgency in her expression.

Chen Liang knew she was a truly talented person and guessed that her matter must be related to these rare wild plants. He didn't ask any more questions, but only instructed Cheng Zhen: "The safety of the experts is of utmost importance. You cannot take it lightly."

Therefore, Cheng Zhen naturally took over the escort duties, and the group headed straight for the wilderness.

This time, Jiang Wan didn't bring the twins with her. Now that Jiang Xiaoshu has the ability to purify, protecting herself and her younger sister is no longer a problem. So she only told them to stay home and wait for their mother, and then left without looking back.

She's going hiking this time, but the altitude is too high, and taking them along would be too much of a hindrance.

The habitat of Saussurea medusa is mostly above 3,000 meters in altitude. Jiang Wan first went to the place where Li Siming was weeding, but found nothing. Then she slowly went up the hillside and rock wall. The higher she went, the lower the temperature became.

While resting on a hillside, Cheng Zhen stood beside her, shielding her from the biting wind: "This place is quite far from where they first discovered the Saussurea medusa."

“Yes!” Jiang Wan looked around, a puzzled expression on her face. “Normally, the flowering and fruiting period of the Saussurea medusa is from July to September…”

But in fact, winter has been here for so long, but the Saussurea medusa that Li Siming collected is still in full bloom. Moreover, the place where he found it is in a low-altitude grassland area, which is completely different from the living habits of Saussurea medusa!

"Could it be that because of the oxygen-deficient apocalypse, plants can no longer be judged by common sense?"

Jiang Wan pondered for a moment, slowly shook her head, then got up and continued up the mountain. She was more inclined to believe that Li Siming had just gotten lucky.

This area is mostly rocky with very little vegetation, so there aren't many mutated plants, let alone zombies.

However, the weather conditions were so bad that the thermometer Cheng Zhen was carrying showed a temperature of minus seventy degrees Celsius!

Their windproof suits and oxygen masks were covered in thick frost, and they had to wipe them frequently to see the road ahead!

But perseverance pays off, and Jiang Wan finally found a Saussurea medusa plant on a rock wall!

"It really is there!" Her voice trembled with excitement! It was genuine joy!

Cheng Zhen glanced at the gaps in the gravel where the Saussurea medusa was rooted and frowned: "Won't this be difficult to transplant?"

"Yes, it cannot be transplanted."

Jiang Wan pointed it out to him, "But look, it's just bearing fruit. Let's pick the fruit and collect it, and when there's a suitable environment later, let them grow in the soil!"

She approached cautiously, then took out the tools she had prepared beforehand and picked its fruit.

Cheng Zhen watched her every move and suddenly said, "Actually, why don't you just take it back? It won't survive here anyway."

Here, they are destined to either die or mutate.

Jiang Wan was taken aback, then realized: "You're right!"

She's blind. This isn't the pre-apocalyptic world with its lack of oxygen. The Saussurea medusa is a nationally protected wild plant and can't be moved. Now it's an apocalyptic world with its lack of oxygen, and it's destined not to survive if it stays here.

But if she takes it back, she has diluted sap from the tree cavity, which might help with its transplantation?

Jiang Wan figured it out and stopped worrying about it. She quickly got to work, carefully pulling the snow rabbit out of the rock, trying to preserve as many of its roots as possible.

At this moment, she had no idea that she didn't have any diluted tree sap left. She had already used it all up by watering the moss, broadleaf golden chrysanthemum, and cultivating the roots of the dawn redwood branches!

Before leaving, she made a special trip to check on the unconscious infected people in the camp, and not a single drop of them appeared!
