In the cold midnight, Fresnel's brows were twisted into a knot in the pale moonlight.
How could it be? How could they be so similar?
This made him think more. After all, in the entire first phase of the exploration plan, there was no plan to open up or explore the north of Hope City.
The second phase of the exploration plan brought in five members of the "Nian" team.
That is to say, in the past few decades, those five super-powered people are all the people other than them who have set foot on this land.
Before they could begin their exploration, the powerful and kind team disappeared into the collective lounge.
Now, one hundred and fifty kilometers north of Hope City, they saw plants that could use some of their abilities.
The abilities of Quicksand, Overgrowth, and Gecko have already appeared. Will there be more abilities?
Bomb Man and Nian, one of them can create a flaming fireball, and the other can make objects float in the air.
A plant that can become invisible, breathe fire, and fly.
Fresnel felt that the world was becoming a little magical.
And if they fail to escape this area, will subsequent explorers encounter plants that can gather light?
Fresnel didn't dare to think about it, he could only light up the way ahead while keeping an eye on his teammates to prevent anyone from falling behind.
However, the plants' pursuit and blockade did not weaken as the crowd escaped, but instead became increasingly stronger, as if the entire forest was gradually awakening.
This also caught Lin Qingliu's attention. In his perception, what were initially dissatisfied with the team members were just a few plants in a small area. Later, as they continued to flee, the range began to expand and the biofield became thicker.
This is a very unreasonable development.
Because in Lin Qingliu's cognition, the mycelium will, as the overall thinking of the tribe, should be able to control any individual in the tribe.
So if Fresnel and his team messed with one plant, it would be equivalent to messing with all the plants.
But based on current performance, this does not seem to be the case.
Looking at the people fleeing in panic, Lin Qingliu suddenly thought of something.
That was a little trick he had arranged before, and something that Wang Xiao had been monitoring continuously—
Nutritional paste with added ingredients.
All the nutrient pastes used by Fresnel team during this exploration were handled by Lin Qingliu.
In order to conceal the unusual biological fields of Wang Xiao and Shi Jin, Lin Qingliu ground the straw that made up the bodies of the pseudo-human "Mind" team members into powder after confirming that it had no harm to the body through several experiments, and mixed it into the nutrient paste using the ability of dimensional displacement.
Sure enough, after insisting on eating these things at every meal, Fresnel's team successfully crossed the endless withered yellow grassland.
It feels like being recognized by the mycelium's consciousness as a part of itself.
Tonight, everyone first discovered the wreckage of a rocket stuck between the ground and the tree, then disassembled and assembled the parts and discovered the life support capsule.
Finally, I started running long distances as hard as I could, and the substances I consumed at dinner time had already been metabolized completely.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingliu remembered what Fresnel said ten minutes ago:
"Discard everything except the water and the sample."
Apparently, the things that were thrown away included all the nutritional supplements that the people had on their return journey.
Lin Qingliu, who was a hundred miles away, slapped himself on the forehead - Fresnel, this idiot, threw away the antidote!
But there is no point in regretting now. First, the current emergency situation does not allow the super-powered people to turn back. Second, this news has not been conveyed to Fresnel in a more reasonable logic.
As for the abilities of the five members of the "Mind" team, Lin Qingliu, who had invaded the memories of five pseudo-people, was well aware of them.
He carefully observed the difficulties faced by everyone, recalled some of his own experiences and the information he had, and had a similar guess to Fresnel's.
As for why the abilities of "thought" and "bomber" did not appear, Lin Qingliu believed that this should be a problem of the mycelium's will.
Lin Qingliu had discovered before that in the few memories of those pseudo-humans, there were traces of ability analysis and imitation.
Of course, the so-called analysis is what the mycelium will does, and the ability to be successfully analyzed can allow these clones or pseudo-humans to be replicated to a certain extent, so as to achieve a realistic effect.
The ability of quicksand is more like liquefaction of sand, the ability of creeping is equivalent to ripening, and the ability of gecko is optical camouflage.
These are abilities that can be explained within a certain range, so it is reasonable that they are the first to be cracked and imitated.
As for the other two abilities, levitating in mid-air and creating explosive fireballs out of thin air, even Lin Qingliu cannot do this now.
This seemingly mysterious ability is indeed too early for the mycelium will.
In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, he reactivated the Fulan brand communicator and whispered in Wang Xiao's ear:
"They won't use the other two abilities, so charge ahead without hesitation."
Although he didn't know how the other party found out, Wang Xiao felt a little more at ease with Dr. Lin's endorsement.
After running for a long time, the branches spreading around them had become as thick as their forearms. Facing such wood, only Wang Xiao could guarantee to break it with one blow.
Therefore, his physical strength was consumed more quickly than before, and his digestive system, which was squeezed together by muscles, heart and lungs, had begun to roar with justice.
Finally, at a certain moment, the plants' reaction speed exceeded the speed of everyone's escape.
When Wang Xiao's powerful blow only broke half of the branch, he knew that his escape for the day would end here.
His right arm, which was leaning forward with all his strength, was firmly caught by the broken branch. The tricky angle made it difficult for Wang Xiao to exert any strength.
The four teammates behind him also stopped quickly. Wang Xiao and the four of them formed a circle facing outwards. When there was no escape left, they entered combat mode.
But... where is the enemy?
The enemy is right in front of them, but the enemy is grass, trees, and mycelium, but not the various strange beasts that everyone is best at dealing with.
Fresnel tried his best to maintain light and vision. This was the only thing he could do now besides giving orders.
Seeing that the trees were about to close in, he suddenly shouted:
"'Two-Way Bell' (Shi Jin)! Get out!"
With the sound of "dong", the layers of trees completed the encirclement, but there were only four prey. At this time, Shi Jin was already standing on a tree crown not far away, looking in this direction with a serious expression.
When he was at his wit's end, Fresnel suddenly thought of the guy in the team who was almost unmatched in terms of escape ability, the teammate who could speed up the flow of time for himself.
