The system screamed: "Host, what are you doing!"
Qiao Xuejun didn't answer, she just kept running. Her walkie-talkie was in the bag on her waist, and she kept it on. Wu Haifan's voice came from it: "No, it works, it's moving! Pay attention to fire suppression!"
The background sounds included the friction, collision and gunshots of huge lantern fish crawling on the ground.
"Heading down the mountain, be alert!"
The effect is indeed as fast as the system says.
The system was still yelling, mixed with a little collapse: "Host, why are you like this! If you die, I will have no host! A system without a host will be swallowed up by other systems!"
Qiao Xuejun: "Say something auspicious."
System: "...Host, you only have a simple pistol. According to the results of the battle between the patrol team and the lantern fish, the patrol team's equipment is more powerful and complete, but it is just barely equal. According to my database, you have no chance of winning."
Qiao Xuejun ran down the mountain against the wind, very fast, without stopping.
She listened to this, her expression unchanged, and asked, "Do you have purple flowers in your database?"
The system's noisy chatter suddenly stopped. Purple flower, that was a new plant discovered by Qiao Xuejun. It was not in the original plot, so it was naturally not in its database either.
The toxin of purple flowers is effective against mutant organisms.
The system also calmed down, but was still worried: "Is that thing useful?"
Qiao Xuejun: "How do you know if you don't try?"
The book that Professor An gave her to take notes in recorded data on the effectiveness of purple flowers on various mutants. They were all useful, but the duration of their effectiveness varied.
The small one takes effect in 10 seconds, the large one takes effect more slowly, and the longest can take up to 2 minutes.
Qiao Xuejun watched it every day during that period and took note of everything.
Qiao Xuejun was unsure about the super-large deep-sea mutant, as she had never tested it before. But she wanted to give it a try.
The system still didn't understand: "Host, didn't you say that Zhao Xian would be back soon? Why not wait for him? He has more experience in dealing with mutants and is safer."
It is an indisputable fact that Zhao Xian is a professional in this field.
But, he wasn't there.
Qiao Xuejun: "I have a way, why do I have to wait for him?"
The unlucky lantern fish that had its head chopped off destroyed her materials, and even Jin Yiyun and Xiao Feng, who were standing by, were worried. Even Tang Qinghao, who was watching the whole process and didn't help with the farm work, felt sorry for her. Not to mention Qiao Xuejun.
She maintained the experimental field bit by bit by herself, from improving the soil and applying fertilizers to sowing and germinating seedlings. She climbed the mountain road from Qingli Mountain to Hongmei Mountain every day, from dawn to dusk, and the round trip took more than an hour, and she never missed a day.
If we talk about heartache, she is the one who feels the most distressed.
Wait? Agree verbally.
Actually can't wait a bit.
The mountain road was not smooth, but Qiao Xuejun had walked up and down this road countless times and avoided all stumbling blocks.
Soon she heard a crawling sound like an earthquake coming from behind her, accompanied by rolling rocks and falling trees on the roadside.
She turned her head and looked behind her.
A huge, bright blue "lantern" lit up in the air a few hundred meters behind her, swaying wildly as it approached her.
Under the faint blue fluorescent light, Qiao Xuejun saw a pair of large, drum-like eyes under the lantern, yellowish-brown in color, staring straight at her.
The deep-sea mutants do not move very fast. This was the unanimous conclusion reached by the survivors who were being hunted after they escaped.
After a long time, the fish didn't seem to speed up and just followed Qiao Xuejun a few hundred meters away.
"Did it really withdraw?"
On the walkie-talkie, Wu Haifan and a few others followed the lantern fish all the way down the mountain, wanting to make sure it left Hongmei Mountain.
"We have retreated. We have left the top of the mountain and are close to the stone wall. After passing the stone wall and the electric fence, we will go down the mountain."
They slowed down their pursuit and didn't intend to chase so closely.
"Then are we retreating too?" the patrol soldier asked, panting.
Wu Haifan: "Retreat. Report the situation to the captain."
Qiao Xuejun almost slipped, but she steadied herself and continued to run while hurriedly taking out the walkie-talkie and shouting into it, "We can't retreat. Deputy Captain Wu, I'm trying to lure the lantern fish down the mountain, and I need your help!"
She was breathing rapidly and her voice could be heard with the sound of the wind outside, so one could tell the environment she was in just by listening to it.
Wu Haifan:?
He almost didn't react. He couldn't believe it and immediately replied: "Teacher Qiao?! You, you are outside?"
Qiao Xuejun said: "I can't explain too much. Anyway, I have some potions that can lure lantern fish. Seeing that you have been trapped in the experimental field, I used it."
Wu Haifan did not delve into what props Qiao Xuejun had, maybe it was a prop like catnip for cats. Just like the fish powder had this effect on shallow sea mutants before.
It’s just that fish meal has little effect on deep-sea mutants.
Wu Haifan immediately ordered: "Keep chasing!"
The soldiers' footsteps sounded closely again.
The system was surprised: "Host, why did you call them here? Aren't you afraid that the props will be exposed? I thought you would solve it quietly! Amaze everyone!"
Qiao Xuejun: "...I am reckless, not stupid. They can help me, so of course I can't retreat. I don't want to die yet."
System: “Great.”
Wu Haifan was running over there, and hesitantly advised: "Teacher Qiao, your safety is very important. I hope you can move towards the base on the mountain and meet up with us. Give us the medicine, and we will cover you while you go into the base to hide."
Wu Haifan weighed the pros and cons and said firmly: "You are an expert talent that cannot be lost. The equipment can be rebuilt. You..."
