Chapter 126 Not a good sign
Just when Shi Qixuan thought the chair had been nailed, the hovercraft arrived at the outskirts of the jungle. Not long after getting off the car, it began to drizzle.
Shi Qixuan brushed her damp hair back and said, "Raining at this time is a bad omen."
"Pfft, it rains heavily every three days and lightly every two days on Cang Qiong Star. If you say that, doesn't it mean it's a bad omen every day?"
"That's true, but I still feel uncomfortable, like I'm going to be in trouble. This damn weather."
Yun Xiang felt normal except for the uncomfortable feeling of wet hair. "This might be your first mission, so you're a little nervous and scared."
"I hope so. After all, when I was taking the practical test, I knew I had someone to protect me, so I didn't have to worry about safety issues. This time, I really experienced the feeling of being responsible for my own life and death." Shi Qixuan said belatedly.
"Just picking seeds and young plants. Relax. Besides, it's not like they don't care at all, otherwise there wouldn't be a guard."
"But judging from their posture, it's not as simple as you said."
"Oh?" Yun Xiang raised his head and looked in the direction she was looking. "It looks like they're measuring something. Let's go over and take a look."
Yun Xiang looked around but still couldn't understand, so he had to find someone who understood, "Teacher Qian, why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Let's see how heavy the rain is. If it gets heavy, we'll set up camp first." Qian Zexi said as he quietly clicked on the smart brain.
"Oh, I'll go get ready then." Yun Xiang pulled Shi Qixuan to the corner and turned on the mini-USB. "They're installing a measuring instrument. I heard the jungle has been expanding very rapidly in recent years."
"Oh, this is not a good thing."
"Well, it's nothing more than upgrading or mutating again." Yun Xiang looked solemn.
Shi Qixuan sat up straight immediately and asked, "What year is StarCraft this year?"
“4994!”
"Damn it, this is the rhythm of the thousand-year catastrophe that's about to come! Damn it, damn it... My good days haven't even begun yet. No, I have to find someone first and then see if I can live with him in a few years. It doesn't matter if he's not satisfied. Anyway, we still have to say whether I can survive by then." Shi Qixuan circled around Yunxiang, looking like she was making arrangements for her future.
"Don't be so pessimistic. It's nothing more than another mutation of plants and animals. There's always a way to deal with it. We all survived the previous four times, so there's no reason why our generation can't."
"When I was a kid, I heard stories from my family. It was terrifying. Plants and animals that mutated again generally increased their combat power by several times, and some even turned directly into magical beasts. Not to mention the magical beasts, which could transform into humans. Many people died in the beginning, and it took about a hundred years for things to gradually stabilize."
"That last one is definitely just to bluff you. No matter if it's an animal or a plant, no matter how much it mutates, it can't escape the limitations of its species. At most, those that swim in the water can walk on land, and those that walk on land can fly in the air, but they will never become humans."
"Huh! That's good. Otherwise, if I set my sights on a handsome guy someday and it turns out to be a plant, oh my god, that would be so frustrating."
"Ahem...you have such a rich imagination."
“But a lot of people did die.”
"There's always a process of adaptation, so improving your strength is the most important thing."
"I think it's going to be tough. With my abilities, I'd better stay in the safe zone."
"What if there is no food?" Yun wanted to tell her that Chaihe Star had cancelled the February Harvest Festival.
"What? The plant growth cycle has become longer?"
"Well, more than that, some of them have stopped blooming and bearing fruit." This is what they discovered when they returned to Zhihuixing.
"Damn! This is going to kill me!"
"Perhaps the mutant beast's meat is also too hard to eat."
"...Let me die now."
"It takes courage to die. If you have this courage, you might as well upgrade your abilities, go on more missions, and adapt to the outside environment. With good abilities, you can survive even in the harshest environment." Yun Xiang didn't say anything else, leaving space for Shi Qixuan to figure it out herself.
Yun Xiang saw that the escort team was about to finish their work and the rain had not changed, so she knew it was time to set off. Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the team, they saw Feng Xuefeng reading out the precautions. There was no need to guess, he must have got them from the Planting College.
This thing was very important to them, so even though Feng Xuefeng wasn't a very good person, he listened carefully. They would stay in the shallow forest for two days, then form a team to explore further inside.
The main purpose of staying in the shallow forest is to replenish food and medicinal plants. Once you enter it, the plants are lush and it will be extremely difficult to find them. In order not to affect the mission, prepare as much as possible.
Whoever collected the loot from this mission would own it, based on their own abilities, including those of the past two days. Everyone was so excited that they rushed into the shallow forest in twos and threes. Shi Qixuan, unwilling to be outdone, grabbed Yun Xiang and ran off, fearing that if they got in too late, someone would snatch it all away.
There is a lot of rain here, so there is no shortage of wild vegetables. Yun Xiang was about to tease Shi Qixuan, but when he saw Qianlin's expression, he shut his mouth.
It is called a shallow forest, but in fact, the trees here are generally tall and strong. It is only classified as a shallow forest because the distance between them is wide and not as dense as inside. The weeds under the trees are particularly lush, almost up to the knees. It is really not easy to pick out edible ingredients from them.
No wonder those locals run faster than monkeys? Yun Xiang pushed Shi Qixuan, who was still in a daze, and said, "Let's go."
"How... do I find it?" Shi Qixuan swallowed and looked at her hands. The grass was wet and muddy. "Should I push the grass aside?"
"What do you think?" Yun wanted to signal her to look at others, and indeed everyone was parting the bushes to look.
"Just treat it as exercise." Yun Xiang wasn't as particular as she was, nor did she know how to maintain her health. She squatted down on the spot. She had just seen a small bunch of garlic sprouts and was about to dig them up and plant them in the fields to eat. Garlic sprouts, stir-fried with meat, are nutritious and delicious. Oh, she thought of Senior Sister Qi Lian.
Seeing Yun Xiang start to take action, Shi Qixuan gritted her teeth and squatted down.
"Ouch, it hurts! Why is this grass cutting my hands?"
If it doesn't cut my hands, will it cut my face? Yun Xiang secretly complained.
"You're all here, will you get infected?"
Personally, I think this pretentiousness needs to be cured.
"Are you thinking bad things about me?" Shi Qixuan picked up a shovel and pretended to threaten Yun Xiang.
"No, no!" Yun Xiang shook his head hurriedly.
"Really?"
"No!"
"No?"
...The two of them searched while playing.
"Hey, what did you dig up?"
"brocoli!"
"This is what cauliflower looks like? It's not a ball?"
Yun Xiang's face was filled with black lines. "This is its seedling. When it grows up, it will form a ball in the center. The ball is edible. I am sure it is a vegetable."
"Hey, what are you doing digging seedlings?"
"Transplant it back and plant it."
"Can he survive?"
"Let's try it."
"What is this?"
"If Teacher Sheng finds out, he'll definitely beat you up."
"Isn't this because I didn't study hard enough?" Shi Qixuan touched her nose embarrassedly.
Is that a reason? "Chili seedlings."
"Why do you always dig up seedlings?"
"That's a good question. Why?" Yun Xiang asked her back.
"Uh..." Shi Qixuan was speechless.
Yun Xiang felt helpless for a moment, "You've followed me for so long, have you ever seen me find any ripe wild vegetables?"
"No!" Shi Qixuan thought about it and shook her head.
"So why do I always dig up seedlings?" Shi Qixuan blurted out without even thinking, "Because they're all tiny seedlings."
"Not bad!" Yun wanted to stand up, pat her shoulder, and go to the next place.
"..." Shi Qixuan reacted and immediately covered her face. She was really - too embarrassed!
