The elite teams dispatched by other city security zones in Huazhou arrived a day earlier than Gou Fugui and his group.
Because Washington State is relatively close to Africa, the team sent by the Washington State Security Zone occupied an area that was closer to the Savage Valley and slightly to the east.
It's not that the teams from Washington State don't want to stay in Savage Valley; the current situation is that no team from any country or safe base can enter this valley.
Sanchez and his research team, who were the first to occupy this valley, used a special material whose composition was indistinguishable to cover the entire Savage Valley, which looked like a large, transparent net from a distance.
This large net can move with the wind and looks fragile, as if it could be easily punctured, yet no one is foolish enough to believe that this large net can be touched and entered at will.
As a result, the various factions that came here could only build their temporary settlements around the Savage Valley. This led to the extensive deforestation of the trees around the valley.
"Team Leader Chi, you've finally arrived! The temporary accommodations over there are all set up. The commander asked me to come and show you around the place."
When the helicopter landed, soldiers stationed at the makeshift airfield came to greet it. However, when one soldier saw Gou Fugui and his companions, whose clothing and appearance were completely different from those of soldiers, he paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening:
"Are you all from Washington State, having heard the message to our fellow citizens?"
"The valley of that primitive tribe is currently shrouded in a special potion... You won't be able to enter the valley for a while. You can stay at our temporary base in Huazhou, but we won't be providing you with food."
If you need food, you can hunt in the forest or accept quests in the base's mission hall.
Hearing this, Gou Fugui and the others nodded. Then, a member of the second team, whose eyes were slightly small but who looked quite refined, smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. We'll definitely visit the mission hall when we have time. After all, this is practically our Huazhou people's headquarters, isn't it?"
The soldier laughed.
"Then you can come with me, but you still need to register."
Gou Fugui and the others readily accepted good advice, but two people were not so obedient.
One of them was Si Mingri, who was in a wheelchair. He had been staring at the transparent metal mesh barrier outside the valley on the plane, his face grim and silent. He had no intention of cooperating at all.
The "wild man" guy was jumping around on the plane, wanting to jump straight down and return to his valley. He was finally pulled back, and after getting off the plane, he wanted to rush into the valley even more.
But Xie Tianlang still held his neck firmly.
Perhaps it was because when the two of them experienced the hatred of their clan's annihilation together, the savage boy was held down by the neck by Xie Tianlang and couldn't move. So it seems that he developed a conditioned reflex that he couldn't struggle much when Xie Tianlang grabbed his neck.
Gou Fugui watched as the wild man, his eyes red and panting heavily, had his neck pinned down by Xie Tianlang. He twitched his lips and inexplicably thought of the painful experience of being Otter Fugui in the first world, when a werewolf had grabbed the back of his neck and determined his fate.
He glared fiercely at the werewolf.
Xie Tianlang: "?"
The soldier who came to lead the way quickly noticed the difference between Si Mingri and the wild man, especially since the wild man looked like he had some connection with the primitive tribe in the valley.
He realized this might be a very important matter, so after leading Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang to a row of very ordinary tents, he went straight back to find the regimental commander.
Only then did Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang have time to question and comfort Si Mingri and Yeren Xiaoge respectively.
“I noticed you looked unwell when you were looking at that transparent metal barrier over the valley. Do you know what that is? It seems to be able to prevent countries from entering the valley.”
Gou Fugui sat in the empty tent and asked Si Mingri.
Si Mingri pursed his lips.
"That's not metal. It's a neurotoxin that can solidify in the air and causes excruciating pain upon contact."
"Because neurotoxins are difficult to extract and have a short retention time, I used a special coagulation synthesis method... Finally, it was coated on a special thread, and this is what it is."
"This net is very tough and difficult to cut with metal. Most importantly, once the psychoactive toxins on it are destroyed, they will spread in tiny explosions in the air, which can easily damage the surrounding plants."
"...I guess Sanchez told them that destroying these wire meshes would ruin the Golden Flower Field. That's why they didn't dare to go in."
After Si Mingri finished speaking, he smirked and said, "...You didn't expect that I was the one who made this harmful thing."
Gou Fugui was momentarily speechless, while Xie Tianlang beside him raised an eyebrow. This world actually possessed such a super genius; he wondered if, in the end, if they succeeded in saving the world, would they be able to bring the living out of it?
[...]
*Smack*
Then Xie Tianlang felt as if something had slapped him through the air.
Xie Tianlang suddenly turned his head, but found nothing. Then, he seemed slightly guilty and twitched the corner of his mouth.
“You can’t say that. I think it’s fate’s arrangement.” The wealthy and beautiful woman paused for a moment before continuing, “You see, no one else can handle this net, but you definitely have a way to deal with this big net, don’t you?”
"You're the nemesis sent by heaven to stop Sanchez's evil deeds! With you here, at least if Sanchez does any more evil research, you're so much smarter than him, you'll definitely be able to solve it, right?"
Si Mingri pursed his lips, seemingly with a hint of self-mockery at the term "nemesis," but in the end he still spoke: "Give me a bottle of the latest fifth-generation Golden Liquid, some instruments I need, and most importantly, I need at least three freshly picked, preferably live, Golden Flowers."
"As long as I have these things, I should be able to..."
Before Si Mingri could finish speaking, a questioning voice came from outside the tent.
After receiving permission, the commander of the Ninth Army Corps and two elderly researchers in white coats entered the makeshift base.
The Ninth Army Corps Commander was a very capable and imposing man. Although his temperament was completely different from Xie Tianlang's, he could still give people a great sense of pressure.
The legion commander immediately fixed his gaze on Xie Tianlang upon entering. This was a unique connection between powerful individuals.
Xie Tianlang also looked at the commander of the Ninth Legion with some interest. You see, in his own world, the commander of their Ninth Legion was also his squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, and finally regimental commander. They rose through the ranks together, but in every combat competition and military exercise, he was the one who dominated the squad leader.
Ninth Army Corps Commander: "..."
For some reason, he felt that the man in front of him, who was half a head taller than him, was extremely annoying and looked just like his disobedient gang leader.
But unlike the silent exchange of glances between the Ninth Army Corps Commander and Xie Tianlang, the two elderly men in white coats glanced around the tent after entering, and their gazes suddenly fixed on Si Mingri, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
The elderly researcher, with a full head of silver hair but a sprightly spirit, exclaimed on the spot, "Are you Si Mingri?"
Si Mingri looked up with a gloomy expression, neither speaking nor denying anything.
The old man was both amazed and delighted: "You little rascal are still alive... no, you must still be alive. After all, that kid Si Tianhai has been desperately searching the world for a cure for you every year. He found the Golden Flower and produced the Golden Liquid, so of course you're still alive."
"Tianhai must be very happy. But what are you doing here? Where's your dad?"
The moment this man opened his mouth, Si Mingri's eyes widened, and with each subsequent sentence, Si Mingri's expression grew more puzzled and shocked.
When Si Mingri heard the old man say that Si Tianhai had found the "Golden Flower," the boy's expression was one of utter shock.
He was momentarily speechless.
After he recovered from his shock, he didn't ask about Huang Jinhua. Instead, he asked in a strained voice, "...My father?"
The elderly researcher nodded: "Now that the golden flower that can cure you has been found, shouldn't your father take you home?"
The boy gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly: "...But my dad, my dad, didn't he abandon me, his son, and start a new family with a healthier child?"
Si Mingri ultimately did not voice the words in his heart.
But at this moment, his face appeared unusually pale and fragile. He thought about what the old researcher had said about his father finding the Golden Flower, and he also thought about how Sanchez had returned with the Golden Flower three years ago. Suddenly, he dared not think about it anymore.
He was afraid that if he continued to think about it, he would come up with some terrible, nightmare-like possibility.
But at this moment, he suddenly became mentally unstable. He looked up sharply at Gou Fugui and said, "I want to go to the valley. Take me to see Sanchez!"
As Si Mingri spoke those words, the wild man seemed to suddenly understand the meaning behind them. He suddenly howled towards the valley, his eyes red as he pounded his chest.
"Smoku—!"
The two people in the tent suddenly went berserk, abruptly ending the conversation.
However, at least the Ninth Army's commander and the researcher had personally inspected the area and confirmed that Gou Fugui and his group would not do anything detrimental to the base. Although the Ninth Army's commander wanted to ask the savage some questions about the valley, he abandoned the idea after seeing that the savage could only scream with red eyes and couldn't understand human speech at all.
This brown-skinned savage was completely incommunicable, let alone helpful.
In the end, Xie Tianlang had to use a lot of effort to calm the wild man down, and Si Mingri was also persuaded to be more rational by Gou Fugui.
"No matter what you want to do or ask, it must be done under the premise of ensuring your safety, right?"
Since Sanchez has attempted to assassinate you several times before, you two are now sworn enemies. You don't have enough leverage to confront him. Even if you meet Sanchez, can you really get the answers you want? Will he give you the real answers?
If not, then you need to get him to give you something in return.
Gou Fugui looked at Si Mingri, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose personality seemed even more gloomy, and sighed inwardly. Suddenly, he reached out and rubbed Si Mingri's head hard: "Even if you want revenge, you have to be prepared."
"You should research the antidote for the liquid gold first. Once you have the antidote, won't Sanchez beg you for help? At that point, what can't he answer when you ask him? Even if he doesn't answer, his researchers will tell you what you want to know in order to survive."
Si Mingri forcefully slapped Gou Fugui's hand away, but in the end he gritted his teeth and nodded.
That guy is right. Even if he wanted to tear Sanchez to pieces in his heart, that snake-like Sanchez would never easily tell him what he wanted to know.
Therefore, he must be patient, and only after he has been patient can he take revenge.
At that moment, Si Mingri, that savage, said in a muffled, teeth-gritting voice, "Endure! Revenge!"
Si Mingri suddenly looked up at the savage and then laughed self-deprecatingly.
He used to think this savage was stupid and useless. He was much smarter than this savage, so he naturally looked down on such an uncivilized being.
But looking at him and this savage now, what good is his intelligence?
They were no different; their families were destroyed, and they were completely manipulated by their greedy enemies.
Si Mingri took a deep breath: "...Bring the golden flower over as soon as possible. I will do my best to create the antidote."
Gou Fugui and the others in the tent couldn't help but brighten up when they heard this: "If we get you the golden flower, how long will it take you to make the antidote?"
Si Mingri thought about it carefully: "If the fifth generation of gold liquid is not much different from the previous four generations, I can produce the first generation product in as little as half a month."
"If the fifth generation incorporates any special ingredients, it might take even longer to develop."
Gou Fugui, Qin Feng, and the others were all delighted. If they could make it successfully in half a month, that would be quite a long time!
The problem now is how to enter the valley quietly and bring back the golden flower.
Then, Si Mingri finally fulfilled his role as the creator: "That neurotoxin doesn't work very well on animals with some resistance to toxins. In addition, strongly alkaline water can also dissolve some of the toxin."
"But there's no strong alkaline water here now."
Everyone in the tent was deep in thought, but Gou Fugui suddenly glanced at Xie Tianlang.
The werewolf understood immediately.
After that, Xie Tianlang had Qin Feng and Lu Hu take the Wild Man Brother to move around in the forest, partly to keep an eye on him and prevent him from going to his death, and partly to let the Wild Man Brother show them the terrain.
The other team members explored the surrounding forest. Since they couldn't enter the Savage Valley for the time being, they needed to familiarize themselves with this primeval forest. They needed to gather enough wild fruits and vegetables, as well as capture enough food.
Song Sanchuan and Si Mingri then collected information from the internet and tried to hack into all the smart machines around them, each of them having their own task.
Finally, Xie Tianlang led the wealthy and beautiful woman into a deserted forest.
What idea have you come up with?
Xie Tianlang spoke directly, showing no doubt about his Yuanyuan's abilities.
Fu Guiyuan narrowed her eyes. "You know I have a way?"
Xie Tianlang laughed: "Our Yuanyuan is capable of anything."
Then, Xie Langren, who was still laughing, saw the long-haired youth in front of him raise his beautiful eyebrows and suddenly reach out and slap his wrist—
The next second, a short, arrogant honey badger with a flat-topped white hair and a silver cape appeared in front of him.
That's exactly the kind of little guy you catch a glimpse of at a train station in the world of shipwrecks, isn't it?
Oh, and he's the guy who caused a ruckus in someone's basement with a gun after they returned to their world.
The grumpy Yuan Yuan emerged from a pile of clothes, shook his slick fur, and raised his little chin, saying, "Pack your clothes for Daddy! Let Daddy take you to be a flower thief!"
Xie Tianlang watched as the honey badger emerged from a pile of clothes, his expression suddenly turning thoughtful.
Honey Badger Fugui glanced at him, quite impatiently: "What are you staring at? Daddy is resistant to poison, can fight, and can dig. He can just dig a hole under that poison net and get through!"
Most importantly, honey badgers do not arouse the guards' suspicion.
Xie Tianlang snapped out of his daze upon hearing this, bent down, and picked up all four pieces of clothing, including the white pair of shorts with a dent in the corner.
Finally, Xie Langren asked a profound question that he had been pondering:
"Yuanyuan, so every time you transform you're running around naked... then where do you get your clothes from?"
At least every time he saw Yuanyuan turn back into her original form, he was always wearing his pants.
I haven't seen the beautiful man even once!
Honey Badger Fugui: "..."
"..."
"Awoooo ...
An angry roar of a wild beast echoed through the woods. The volatile Rich Man leaped up and scratched at Xie Tianlang's... knee with one claw.
