"Sister, wait for me."
Han Xiaoxiao looked at the nearby trees and began to look for a way to get closer to the bird's nest, moving inside little by little.
Just as Han Xiaoxiao was approaching inside, the group of people on the outermost side were also coming towards Han Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, Han Xiaoxiao no longer cared about anything else in order to get closer to Xu Xuening. He had already started a fire under his feet. The shrinking plants slowly made a small space for Han Xiaoxiao, allowing him to move in.
Finally arriving near the bird's nest, Han Xiaoxiao slowly lay on top of the nest, slowly burning a small space, and saw the scene inside the nest.
The sight of red rotten roots caught Han Xiaoxiao's eyes and startled him without any preparation.
"What is this?" Han Xiaoxiao jumped in fright.
"Be careful, don't touch the red rotten meat." Xu Xuening shouted from below.
"Sister, take it." Han Xiaoxiao looked at a black vine next to him. He tried to pull it, but the black vine seemed to avoid it, as if it was unwilling to touch the bird's nest.
Han Xiaoxiao burned it slightly with fire, and the black vine immediately pretended to be dead and motionless. Han Xiaoxiao treated it as a rope and let it down.
…
After Xu Xuening was pulled up, she immediately hugged Han Xiaoxiao.
"Thanks."
"Hehe, sister, why are you being so polite to me?" Han Xiaoxiao smiled.
"Hurry up and go, it's going to be a mess in here. If it's too late, we'll be dragged in." Xu Xue Ning thought of the scene she saw below, and without thinking, she immediately pulled Han Xiaoxiao and rushed outside.
They swung on the trees, pulling the vines one by one, passing through one tree after another. Then, they came across several team members trapped among the plants, and picked them up one by one until they met Professor Yang and Captain Shi.
"Professor Yang?"
Xu Xuening looked at Professor Yang and Captain Shi, each of them trapped in a yellow-green fruit, like a dumpling with its head sticking out.
"What's going on?"
"Don't worry about what happened, just rescue us quickly. Comrade Xiao Xu." Professor Yang immediately became excited when he saw Xu Xuening and Han Xiaoxiao. "Comrades, you two are really useful. Fortunately, I insisted on letting Xiao Han rescue you."
Professor Yang did not forget to talk about his smart decision at this time.
Captain Shi, who was closest to Professor Yang, frowned, thinking that this old man didn't look like a cultured person at all, and he was flattering in such a hypocritical manner.
Professor Yang, swaying, watched Xiao Xu climb up. He quickly shook his head, "No, no, don't touch this red tree trunk. There seems to be a special connection between them. They can sense our location, just like a spider, and locate us. See those red leaves near you? Those are the nets they use to catch people. Just now, we were caught by them."
With Professor Yang's reminder, Han Xiaoxiao carefully burned the red tree trunk next to her, and after some effort, she finally rescued everyone.
"These are all the people we've been able to locate. Twenty more are still missing."
After counting all the people, everyone looked at Captain Shi, waiting for his next instructions.
"Professor, what do you think?" Although Captain Shi was reluctant to say anything to Professor Yang, he still needed the professor's advice here.
"Let's retreat and search as we go. Maybe we can meet the missing children. Captain Shi, I hope you can value their lives this time." Professor Yang said solemnly.
Captain Shi nodded. He certainly hoped to find his team members. To be honest, he wanted to bring every one back with him. However, before setting off, they had prepared for the possibility of their all being killed. The world outside was no longer what they knew. They would need thirty years of fragmented time to re-measure the world, to complete the task that the ancients had undertaken for four thousand years. Sacrifices were inevitable.
Captain Shi looked at Xu Xuening and Han Xiaoxiao and nodded at them. "I'll leave it to you."
"Captain Shi, you're too polite." Xu Xuening took two steps back and refused his courtesy.
Professor Yang led everyone in a rapid collection process, picking up every plant they could while retreating. Regardless of the quantity, they packed everything into a bag, sealed it, and then handed it to Xu Xuening to pack.
"It's really strange. These plants are very quiet now, just like they were before. If I didn't know how powerful they are, I would have thought we had returned to the past. What's going on?" Professor Yang curiously touched a plant that looked like a bottle. The bottle was filled with a lot of water, which was stored by the plant itself. It was a perfect water-retaining container.
Xu Xuening briefly recounted what she saw and heard in the Bird's Nest.
"Hearing what you said, it seems that symbiosis also exists here. No matter how drastically nature changes, some laws remain unchanged." Professor Yang sighed.
"Professor, what's the rule?" Someone looked at him in confusion.
Professor Yang sighed countless times at the ignorant boys beside him before speaking: "You deserve it for not studying hard!"
