People are in panic

At night, except for the patrolmen who were still on patrol at the First Base, everyone else fell into a dream.

A man in black clothes was crawling on the ground strangely. He had a human head, but he was crawling on the ground like a snake and moving at a very fast speed.

"Rustle, rustle."

"Who's there?" Sheng Wei heard something moving. The black figure stopped and covered itself under the dust.

"What's wrong, Boss?" Su Yichen leaned over to Sheng Wei and said, "By the way, we hardly see any zombies these days. Are we about to defeat these things?"

Sheng Wei glanced at her teammates, all grinning, and said nothing. Her expression lacked the relaxed expression of the others. "I'm afraid there will be something scarier than zombies."

Su Yichen: "Boss, what's wrong with you? You were not so timid before. What could be scarier than zombies?"

Sheng Wei ignored him and searched the surroundings, but there was nothing there, only dust brought by the wind.

Was she really just being overly suspicious? Ever since returning from the underground base, Sheng Wei had been having nightmares filled with vines and that terrifying tree.

She shook her head: "It's almost time to change shifts."

Su Yichen: "It's finally over. I'm so tired. If zombies die out one day, will we be able to walk out of the city gate freely?" He looked outside with some longing.

"I heard a new type of wheat has been released. Hey, boss, boss, wait for me..."

Sheng Wei was too lazy to listen to his nagging and walked away on her own. There was an unrelieved sorrow between her brows. Looking at the teammates who looked relaxed and yearning, she felt depressed. Will the day of freedom really come?

After they walked away, the black figure slowly emerged from the soil and moved quickly to the bottom of the city wall. The whole process did not attract anyone's attention.

He scattered a circle of unknown seeds along the city wall. After doing all this, he disappeared into the night again.

"Is it done?" Chen Guanghai was a little nervous standing beside the sacred tree.

"Don't be anxious. Have confidence in our people. Very good, he has successfully spread the seeds to the first base. Now we just need to wait for a rain." Shenmu was sensing the movements of the man in black, and she let out a happy sigh after a long time.

"Jiang Lin, one day you will willingly submit to me." Shenmu was very happy. When it rained, the fungi would spread to every part of the city wall, and they would have nowhere to escape.

Chen Guanghai's mood also became noticeably better, and he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

"This Li Qi can be trained. His special abilities and reaction abilities are both top-notch." Shenmu likes this new subordinate very much. She is also a woman. Women are always more tenacious and careful.

In time, Li Qi will replace this unknown man.

Shenmu looked at Chen Guanghai with disgust. It liked to parasitize and control humans, but it liked humans with willpower, like Ah Xin and Li Qi. People with strong willpower were worthy of being its subordinates.

When it becomes strong, Chen Guanghai will be the first person to sacrifice to it.

Of course, if Jiang Lin is willing to submit to it, it will definitely give her a position second only to the emperor, which is a recognition and reward for her ability.

Chen Guanghai and Shenmu each had their own thoughts, and the long night concealed too many conspiracies and unbearable things.

When Jiang Lin woke up the next day, he yawned loudly. It was another beautiful day.

Today was her day off. As expected, even people in the apocalypse didn't like going to work. She put on her regular clothes. The weather had gotten much colder. A few days ago, the base had given her some cold weather clothes, and now they were ready to go.

Jiang Lin walked into the yard. The air became much fresher as the weather got colder.

"Hey, they grew so quickly, it's incredible." Jiang Lin looked at the four seedlings that emerged from the originally empty yard.

"Is this nutrient solution so effective? I need to add a few more bottles."

[Host should not be greedy, only one bottle can be used for watering during the seedling stage.] 110 sounded a reminder.

Jiang Lin curled her lips. She was just having fun. If it really grew into a big fruit tree, she might be caught and studied.

The doorbell rang, and the breakfast she ordered was delivered on time. Today's breakfast was eggs and sweet potato porridge, which smelled particularly sweet.

Jiang Lin also picked some vegetables from the greenhouse to make some vegetable soup. She felt a little headache when she saw the lettuce growing wildly in the greenhouse.

Although vegetables are precious, lettuces grow very fast in her greenhouse. Jiang Lin put them into three bags, preparing to give one bag to Wen Yan, for whom she made noodles last time, and another bag to Sheng Wei and Xu Anan.

Wen Yan lived closest to her, so Jiang Lin packed the vegetables into her bag and went out. Not long after, she arrived at the door of Wen Yan's house.

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong." The doorbell rang for a long time, but no one came to open the door. Could it be that Wen Yan was not at home? Then I could only wait for a while.

Just as Jiang Lin was about to leave, a familiar figure came out: "Sorry, something delayed me just now."

Wen Yan ran over, opened the door, and enthusiastically invited Jiang Lin in.

"I won't come in. I'm here to give you something. I have to go to Sheng Wei and the others later." Jiang Lin took out a package from his bag and handed it to Wen Yan: "This is the lettuce I grew."

"Thank you." Wen Yan reached out to take it, but found that there was still a trace of undried blood on his hand. The two of them were stunned for a moment.

"Oh, I accidentally cut my hand while cooking just now." Wen Yan put his hands behind his back awkwardly, and Jiang Lin looked at him suspiciously.

"Then I'll leave first. Be careful." Although she was confused, she didn't have the habit of prying into other people's privacy, so she left without thinking too much.

Xu Anan and Sheng Wei both lived in an area near the patrol center. Sheng Wei's house was bigger, and Xu Anan already knew her.

The three of them met directly at Sheng Wei's house.

"Wow, Xiao Linlin, you are so nice. You have so many vegetables." Xu Anan happily hugged Jiang Lin's waist, but was turned away by Jiang Lin in disgust.

"Isn't this too much?" Sheng Wei felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay to eat it. It grows very fast. I planted a lot of it at home." After hearing what Jiang Lin said, Sheng Wei put the things in the refrigerator.

"By the way, it seems that you have grown a lot taller." Sheng Wei looked at Jiang Lin and sighed.

When she first came to the base, she was about 165cm tall, and now she looks to be around 170cm tall.

"Really? It seems the food at the base is pretty good." Jiang Lin was obviously happy when Sheng Wei praised her for growing taller.

"Really." Xu Anan also nodded. Jiang Lin was skinny and small when he first came, but now he's much taller and stronger. "But Sister Sheng Wei, are you really not going to the Planting Research Institute? It's really comfortable to work there."

Sheng Wei shook his head: "I am worried about my group of stupid teammates. If I leave, they will be like headless flies and will be bullied to death."

Sheng Wei carries the responsibility she has given herself and protects Team 16 like an older sister.

Xu Anan: "It's okay. When we come up with something good, we'll send it to you first."

They didn't stay at Sheng Wei's house for too long. After all, she had just finished her night shift yesterday and needed rest the most.

Jiang Lin was strolling leisurely around the base alone. There were not many people on the road during working hours. After strolling for a while, he felt bored and returned home.

After planning the subsequent changes to the Implantation Research Institute, Jiang Lin fell asleep on the bed.

The rain that Shenmu had been waiting for came quietly, and the spores nourished by the heavy rain quickly turned into yellow fungi one by one, slowly climbing up the wall from the bottom of the wall.

It was late at night and Tang Xiaoyan hadn't gone to bed yet. The spore concentration sensor she developed was only in the last step. Ah Xin, lying in the soil beside her, felt a little distressed when he saw that her eyes were blue and bloodshot.

He tugged at Tang Xiaoyan's clothes: "Don't you want to take a break?"

"It will be fine soon. Just rest soon." She had hardly slept for several days and nights.

Ah Xin knew Shenmu's madness. The sooner the countermeasures were developed, the safer Tang Xiaoyan and the people in the base would be.

Gu Yuzhi knocked on the door and came in: "Xiaoyan, haven't you rested yet? I can't hold on any longer. I'm going to sleep first. Remember to rest early." She is old and really can't stand this.

Tang Xiaoyan nodded, but didn't even take her eyes off the sensor.

After installing the last part and looking at the freshly made spore concentration meter, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then she was overwhelmed by fatigue.

There was a folding bed in the laboratory. Tang Xiaoyan lay down on it and fell asleep soon.

The rain got heavier in the second half of the night. The mushrooms were greedily absorbing water and growing larger. The values ​​of the sensors in the laboratory began to fluctuate and quietly rose a few points.

Tang Xiaoyan slept for a long time, but Jiang Lin, who came to work, accidentally woke her up.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you were sleeping." Jiang Lin heard Gu Yuzhi say that Tang Xiaoyan hadn't rested yet and planned to come over to see her, but he didn't expect to wake up the sleeping person.

"It's okay, it's time to get up." Tang Xiaoyan rubbed her eyes and got up from the folding bed, looking at the concentration meter on the table.

She was a little confused, rubbed her eyes again and rushed to the table. Jiang Lin took a step back, not knowing what was going on.

"What's wrong?" She saw that Tang Xiaoyan's expression was not very good.

"Something's seriously wrong! The spore concentration at the base has increased. It was 0 before I went to bed last night, but now it's skyrocketed to 10." Tang Xiaoyan paced back and forth anxiously. "There's definitely a source of infection somewhere we don't know about."

Tang Xiaoyan: "No, we have to inform Minister Cui and the others quickly and make plans as soon as possible."

Jiang Lin sent a message to Cui Yawen's intelligent brain, and soon all the patrolmen in the base suspended their daily patrol work, and ordinary people were summoned back home by the base.

The whole base felt like a storm was about to come.

Sheng Wei stood in front of the window looking at the wet land, and a bad premonition came to her mind. She told Zhou He not to open the doors and windows and to put a mask on him.

The patrol center has issued a new task, requiring all patrollers to wear a new type of helmet and inspect the corners of the base for yellow fungi. The accompanying picture is a hand-drawn photo.

Cui Yawen had already arrived at the Planting Research Institute. She paced back and forth anxiously, "We must find the source of the pollution quickly."

Jiang Lin put on a mask and went out to join the search team.

"Jiang Lin?" Hearing someone calling her name, Jiang Lin turned around and found that it seemed to be Sheng Wei.

"You came out to look for that thing too." Sheng Wei walked to her side.

Jiang Lin: "Yes, today Tang Xiaoyan discovered that the spore concentration in the base has increased, and she speculates that there is a source of pollution."

Sheng Wei seemed to be lost in thought. "Yesterday, when I was patrolling the perimeter, I heard some noises, but after searching around, there was no one there."

"Take me over to have a look." Jiang Lin intuitively felt that the unusual noise Sheng Wei encountered might be the source of the pollution.
