Golden Silk Thread
Wen Yan took the machete, and the group headed towards the rice paddies. With the experience from the previous few times, everyone had a better grasp of how to deal with mutant plants.
Jiang Lin removed the water curtain, and the rice fields became quiet. It was hard to imagine that they could have such a ferocious side.
Wen Yan used a machete to harvest a large area of rice fields in one go, but strangely, the rice fields still did not react, and the plants did not become harder, so they were easily cut down.
Sheng Wei and the others also went in with their tools. The only sound around them was the sound of rice harvesting. The more this happened, the more uneasy Jiang Lin became.
She looked at Wen Yan not far away, and her eyes seemed to blur and she saw a small black spot on his trouser leg. Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows and walked in quietly.
Wen Yan's tightly wrapped combat uniform was actually covered with densely packed black bugs.
"Be careful, there are so many bugs." She pointed at Wen Yan's clothes. The bugs had already crawled to his thighs, but because the combat uniform was tightly wrapped, they couldn't find a place to bite.
But if they go any higher, they can crawl into the body through the gaps in the helmet. Thinking of this, Jiang Lin got goosebumps.
Hearing Jiang Lin's voice, everyone looked down tacitly and found that everyone who entered the rice field was covered with these small black bugs.
No one dared to underestimate the things on the mutated plants, but these insects were small and agile, and everyone was in a panic to kill the insects on their bodies.
Jiang Lin approached Wen Yan, flicked the bug off his trouser leg into a glass test tube and covered it with a lid, thinking of giving it to Tang Xiaoyan for research later.
Wen Yan set off a relatively low-temperature fire, burning all the bugs on his body. Jiang Lin carefully checked him and it seemed that there were indeed no hidden bugs.
Wen Yan walked over to the others and helped them deal with the small bugs on their bodies.
"Hiss." A sound of inhaling was heard not far away. Jiang Lin turned his head and saw a psychic without a helmet covering his neck.
"What's going on?" She hurried over to check the situation. The psychic's hand slowly moved away, and Jiang Lin saw a red bump on his neck, which was particularly conspicuous on his skin.
Wen Yan and his team were dealing with the insects while quickly harvesting all the rice to avoid any accidents.
Jiang Lin took out a tube of ointment that Tang Xiaoyan had prepared for her from her small bag and gently applied it to the psychic's neck. "How do you feel now?"
She frowned, wondering what harm these bugs in the mutant plant fields might cause.
"My hand seems to be numb." The psychic tapped his numb arm with his other hand and found that he had no feeling at all. His face turned pale instantly.
"I seem to have no feeling in my right hand." Jiang Lin raised her right hand and hit it hard, but the psychic didn't even frown.
"Hurry up and go to the temporary hospital to find Doctor Tang. Go quickly." He pulled the psychic up and said, "Those bugs may make you lose consciousness. Be careful."
Wen Yan heard what Jiang Lin said and looked at the back of the psychic walking away. He knew that someone must have been infected, so he focused more on dealing with the bugs on everyone.
"Don't use the remaining rice, just burn it." Jiang Lin's voice came over. In the end times, if you lose an arm, the difficulty of survival will increase greatly.
Compared to these rice plants, people are definitely more important. After hearing her words, Wen Yan led everyone out of the rice fields. A huge fire was burning in the fields, and the overwhelming heat wave could be felt through the helmet.
Jiang Lin could only see red flames in front of her eyes, and the air was distorted by the heat, but she still stared at the rice fields, and finally saw a golden thread in the distorted air.
Without thinking, she rushed into the sea of fire. Although her combat uniform had a certain heat insulation function, it was still unable to block such a high flame.
Jiang Lin stepped on the ice bridge formed by his supernatural power. The ice was constantly melted by the fire, and more ice cubes were condensed. The rising water vapor could burn the skin if he was not careful.
Everyone could only evacuate to the rear.
Sheng Wei pulled Wen Yan, who refused to leave, back and said, "Believe in her. She won't do anything that has no chance of success."
Jiang Lin walked on top of the flames and reached out to grab the golden thread. The moment she touched it, her mind went blank for a moment, as if she had touched a nerve.
The sacred tree on the other side also suffered a severe mental shock. She saw through the plant that Jiang Lin was holding the golden thread with a confused look on his face, and it seemed that he was about to crush the thread in the next second.
"Don't touch it." Shenmu sent a message to Jiang Lin anxiously.
Hearing the voice of the sacred tree, Jiang Lin curled up a meaningful smile. Sure enough, the sudden and serious mutation of the mutant plants was closely related to the sacred tree.
She tightened her grip. "What is this? It looks very important to you." She questioned, shaking the golden thread in her hand.
Shenmu was silent for a few seconds and didn't want to answer, but Jiang Lin immediately increased the strength of her hand, feeling that the spiritual thread would completely break in her hand in the next second.
If it were someone else, Shenmu might not be so scared, but this was Jiang Lin, who entered her spiritual sea of consciousness when they were at the first base and forcibly erased Zhong Xin's spiritual node from her mind.
"It's my spiritual thread." Shenmu spoke.
"Is this how you control these plants to go crazy? And what about mutation? That's also your masterpiece, right?" Jiang Lin continued to ask.
"I just need mental strength now. As I continue to grow, every blade of grass and every tree will become my weapon. How will you survive on this planet then?" Shenmu calmed down, as if she was no longer afraid that Jiang Lin would cut her mental thread.
"My growth is irreversible. No matter how much you try to stop me, Jiang Lin, I will still become stronger. Because I am a plant, time will not make me age, but will only make me continue to grow."
"My life is longer than any human being, are you sure..." Before Shenmu could finish her words, the silk thread in Jiang Lin's hand had been cut by her.
"You talk too much. I don't want to listen." Her expression was still as calm as ever, as if Shenmu's threatening words just now did not scare her at all.
By cutting off this spiritual thread, the spirit of the sacred tree covering this area of plants was instantly cut off, but Jiang Lin also paid the same amount of spiritual consumption.
Her ice bridge finally couldn't hold on and was about to melt. Without thinking too much, Jiang Lin jumped towards a distant place where there was no fire. The moment the ice bridge disappeared, she took off into the air.
I fell to the edge of the fire, but I still got burned in a few places.
Wen Yan ran over from a distance, picked her up and ran towards the temporary hospital without saying a word.
The burn didn't feel particularly painful at first, but as Jiang Lin continued to pour ice water on himself, the pain became more and more intense.
Wen Yan rushed into the temporary hospital and scared everyone inside. Jiang Lin's arm was burned the most seriously, but fortunately his combat uniform had been specially treated and could be easily removed.
But it still took away a small piece of skin on Jiang Lin's arm, and blisters grew rapidly on that area.
The injury was quite serious, and pouring ice water on it was no longer effective. Jiang Lin felt severe pain in the burned area.
Tang Xiaoyan gave her anesthesia directly and began to treat the burn area. Wen Yan was pushed out.
"Why are you so careless?" Tang Xiaoyan chatted with Jiang Lin while treating the wound to divert her attention, worried that she would be scared.
"Nothing serious." Jiang Lin didn't even frown. Of course, she didn't look at her wound, but stared at the ceiling: "How is the person who was bitten by the insect?"
"You still have time to care about others." Tang Xiaoyan gave her a helpless look. "But that person's condition is indeed not good. I haven't seen the insects you collected, and the test results are still not good."
"Also, the seaside base doesn't have any serum to counteract the common insect poison right now, so we can only put her in the medical cabin to try to delay the spread of the virus," said Tang Xiaoyan.
"Is there any in the ruins of the First Base?"
"Yes, it's in the base on the underground floor, locked in a freezer. It's difficult to move, so I didn't take it last time." Tang Xiaoyan frowned at her: "You don't want to go back to get the serum, do you?"
"Although your burns are not particularly serious, it's best for you to lie down for a day." Tang Xiaoyan wrapped gauze around the treated area. She did not agree with Jiang Lin's actions now.
When he came out of the simple operating room, he saw Wen Yan's worried face. Jiang Lin smiled at him reassuringly and was arranged by Tang Xiaoyan to sit next to the mutant who was bitten by the insect.
Jiang Lin saw her name: Xie Anran.
In the medical cabin, her eyes were dull and her face was pale, as if she was quietly waiting for the virus to spread throughout her body.
Jiang Lin glanced at her face and saw that she still looked very young. She turned her head to look at Tang Xiaoyan: "No, I have to go back to get the virus serum." She struggled to get out of the medical cabin.
The wounds on my arms and thighs were touched, and I shivered in pain.
"Forget it. Your wound is very easy to get infected. There is no effective medicine now. You must lie down here well." Tang Xiaoyan didn't dare to look at Jiang Lin's eyes, but she would never let Jiang Lin take risks now.
"I'll go, don't worry, I'll get the virus serum and the special medicine for burns." Wen Yan squatted down near the medical cabin to comfort him.
Jiang Lin took off the bracelet on his hand and handed it to him: "Bring up some medicine from the bottom of the sea." The things provided below are all random.
There is no shortage of food now, but many special medicines have not been brought here.
"I guarantee to complete the task." Wen Yan's serious look made Jiang Lin couldn't help laughing.
She turned her head and met a pair of young eyes. Xie Anran was looking at her, wanting to say something.
Jiang Lin tried her best to make her expression look calmer. She was used to keeping a stern face to make everyone afraid of her. This was her survival rule since she was a child.
"Thank you." Xie Anran said this silently.
"No need to thank me. This is what I should do." Jiang Lin smiled at her. She was still so young and shouldn't die like this.
