Zhou Zhiguo led the team members to walk in the front, Chen Ruoruo led Erlangzi and Wolf King and others to walk in the middle, Han Xiao, Qi Jiang and others protected her from the front and back, and Tao Wei and Wei Yangguo led the other half of the team members to walk behind.
A group of people carefully and mightily passed through the not-so-wide corridor and came to the other side of the corridor.
Everyone stood at the entrance of the corridor, and they were all shocked by the scene before them. They even had the illusion that they were in a paradise.
In the distance, I saw endless rolling hills, with green peaks shrouded in mist, like a huge green folding fan, slowly unfolding before people's eyes.
At the foot of the mountain not far away, there is a clear stream flowing by. The gurgling sound of the stream echoes in the mountains, making people feel very peaceful and tranquil.
If it weren't for the pungent smell that came from the nose from time to time, breaking the beautiful illusion before their eyes, everyone would have been unable to help but immerse themselves in it.
"Captain Han, come here..." Ma Qian stopped not far away at some point, looked at the things on the ground, and shouted to Han Xiao who was standing beside him.
"..." Han Xiao glanced at Chen Ruoruo who was sitting on Erha nearby, signaled to the others to keep an eye on her, and then walked towards Ma Qian.
Seeing Han Xiao coming, Ma Qian stepped aside, and a pool of filth appeared right in front of Han Xiao.
There was even a dense pile of them not far away. His thick eyebrows immediately frowned, and he subconsciously reached out to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeves to block the strong stench that kept coming.
"What is this?" Han Xiao covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and his voice became a little muffled. At the same time, he stood upwind without being noticed.
"Captain Han, this should be bear feces..." Ma Qian said to Han Xiao with a serious expression.
"Bear?" Han Xiao exclaimed in surprise, his brows instantly furrowed tighter.
"Yes, and it's a mutant bear..." Ma Qian found a stick from somewhere, and then kept stirring it in the pool of filth, while saying to Han Xiao.
"Ugh..." As Ma Qian stirred, the pungent and foul smell became stronger, and Han Xiao almost vomited.
"Captain Han, what are you doing?" Zhou Zhiguo found two people squatting together, fiddling with something, so he came over to check and found that the stench in the air became stronger and stronger as he got closer.
It was not until Zhou Zhiguo approached that he found two people surrounding a pile of black filth, and the other one was stirring it with a stick.
Looking at Shang Ma Qian's pretty face and the white fingers holding the shit-stirring stick, Zhou Zhiguo paused for a long time. It was really difficult to describe what he was thinking at the moment.
"Captain Zhou...it should be a mutant black bear..." Ma Qian said to him excitedly when he saw Zhou Zhiguo coming over.
"Hmm?" Zhou Zhiguo looked at Ma Qian with a puzzled look and tilted his head slightly.
"Are you sure?" Han Xiao asked again.
"Well, bears are omnivorous animals, and some of their physiological habits will not change even after mutation. Look, there are undigested fruit seeds in here, and look at the hair around here, and these scratches..." Ma Qian said as he stirred the things in the filth to show the two of them, then stood up and pointed at the hair not far away and the marks on the wall and said to Zhou Zhiguo and Han Xiao.
"Well... it seems the situation is not optimistic..." While Ma Qian was still arguing her point, Zhou Zhiguo saw piles of filth of all sizes not far away, and his expression became extremely serious.
"What?" Ma Qian stopped and looked at Zhou Zhiguo and asked after hearing what he said.
"Yeah...that's true..." Han Xiao also responded, and at the same time looked at Chen Ruoruo not far away with a worried look.
"Ma Qian, please continue to talk about the habits of the mutated black bear..." Zhou Zhiguo followed Han Xiao's gaze and saw Chen Ruoruo not far away. He retracted his gaze and looked at Ma Qian and said.
"Mutated black bears are basically nocturnal animals like other mutated animals, but under special circumstances, they will also be active during the day. They are very good at climbing trees and swimming, and are extremely aggressive. Except for breeding and foraging, they live alone in most cases. Moreover, they have a strong sense of territory and are extremely dangerous among mutant animals." Ma Qian described the situation of the mutant black bears like a treasure trove.
"Well, okay, I understand..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at Ma Qian and nodded seriously.
"..." Ma Qian turned around and looked at Han Xiao in a daze.
"Captain Han, you must protect Chen Ruoruo this time... If... remember to take her away quickly..." Zhou Zhiguo looked at Han Xiao, as if he was entrusting someone with his care, and gave instructions solemnly.
"Okay..." Han Xiao looked at Zhou Zhiguo and nodded in response.
"..." Ma Qian was a little confused. Maybe the situation wasn't that serious? Ma Qian had basically been staying in the laboratory, more theoretical than practical, so his perception of crisis was naturally not as good as Han Xiao and Zhou Zhiguo's.
Afterwards, Zhou Zhiguo turned around and left without staying any longer to arrange the team members.
The two came back one after another. Mou Jiao and others looked at Han Xiao with a serious expression, and looked at Ma Qian with puzzled eyes, but saw that she also looked confused.
Qi Jiang and the others were called away by Zhou Zhiguo before they could ask anything. Although they were extremely reluctant to leave, they had to leave because they had already guessed the seriousness of the matter.
"Ruoruo, you must protect yourself..." Xia Xiaoying warned,
"Ruoruo, if you encounter danger, you must let this Husky take you away, run as fast as you can, don't worry about us..." Li Xue also said.
"Just, please don't bother with us..."
"Uh-huh..."
The other team members also echoed Chen Ruoruo's instructions, saying that although they didn't know what they were about to face, they knew that things were not simple when they saw all the team members in a state of full defense not far away.
"Well, okay..." Chen Ruoruo looked at Xia Xiaoying and the others who were looking at her with determination, and they nodded in response obediently.
"..." Xia Xiaoying and the others felt relieved after seeing Chen Ruoruo agreed, and then followed Zhou Zhiguo's men away.
Chen Ruoruo watched them leave, and then looked at Zhou Zhiguo who was busy arranging troops not far away. Perhaps he should have realized what they would face this time.
She also discovered through her extended consciousness that several black bears were coming this way, and Chen Ruoruo's expression immediately became solemn.
"Ms. Chen, don't worry, we will protect you..." Han Xiao looked at Chen Ruoruo and assured her, with a determined look in his eyes as if he was ready to die.
"Yes, we will protect you..." said Mou Jiao.
"Ms. Chen, don't worry. You won't be in danger with us here..." Li Jun patted his chest and said confidently.
"Yeah..." Several others echoed along the side.
Chen Ruoruo looked at Han Xiao, then at the group of people surrounding her. She didn't know how long they could hold out if the black bear came.
