100. Durian
Su Liu: “???”
Julia was still crying to herself, and her tear-stained face really made me feel sorry for her.
But others didn't think so, especially Qin Guan, who rushed over to protect Julia at the first moment of the "conflict" and roared fiercely at Su Liu.
"You're a Purifier, so what? You're taking advantage of your high position to bully others. Who the hell do you think you are to bully us?"
Su Liu: “???”
Julia pitifully tugged at Qin Guan's sleeve, sobbing and whispering, "Master Su didn't seem to recognize the Piranha Plant and insisted on taking it back to purify it. I kindly reminded her that it was unnecessary, but she got angry at me, calling me an idiot and telling me to get out of here."
Su Liu: “???”
Qin Guan was already furious. He asked bluntly, "You don't even know what a Piranha Plant is. Julia's kind reminder is wrong? You're just angry out of shame, aren't you?"
"Brother Qin, don't worry about me. Master Su Jinghua is only targeting me. Don't mess with her. What if she..."
Before she finished speaking, Julia bit her lip, glanced at Su Liu with fear, and then quickly looked away.
Qin Guan became increasingly angry, shouting, "Why would I be afraid of a fool like her? Isn't it just that someone behind the scenes doesn't take us, the little people at the bottom, seriously? I'll make an anonymous report to the Federal Association, and both she and Shu Delai will be finished!"
Julia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and pulled Qin Guan's hand and said, "Forget it, forget it." But in fact, she was secretly adding fuel to the fire, causing Qin Guan to become more and more angry, as if he had some deep hatred with Su Liu.
Su Liu said nothing and just stared at him jumping up and down and cursing.
Bixi and You Zhengyu were exploring in a distant place. When they heard the noise, they rushed back and immediately persuaded Qin Guan to calm down.
But Qin Guan refused to do so and insisted that Su Liu apologize to Julia, otherwise the matter would not be over today.
Amid the noise, Su Liu looked at the sky.
Time is already tight, and this idiot is still wasting time with his whining. It's so annoying.
When Qin Guan was cursing until his mouth was dry, Su Liu slowly picked up the laptop hanging on his chest.
"I was just on a video call with Chairman Shudelai. He was very interested in that new mutant Piranha plant, so he asked me to take it back for research."
The blue screen of the computer popped up, and Shu Delai's face was slightly distorted in the floor-to-ceiling projection.
Julia's expression went from smug to a riot of color, and finally to horror.
Qin Guan's expression was not much better. Although he scolded Su Liu more, he also made some innuendos, accusing Shu Delai of being forced by his power to send an uneducated idiot into the military to bully ordinary people.
Although Shudelai was extremely angry in front of the two of them, his upbringing made him as calm as possible.
"Grower Julia, you said Su Liu was mean to you and called you an idiot? Do you want me to help you recall? She only replied that she knew the Piranha Plant."
Julia was seen by the chairman throughout the whole process. She didn't dare to continue to argue and lowered her head with cold sweat on her face.
Qin Guan knew what was going on as soon as he saw her expression, and he felt embarrassed for a moment.
Shu Delai said deeply: "You two may have some misunderstandings about Master Su Jinghua. When you come back from the exploration, come to me and have a good chat with me."
Qin Guan, Julia: "..."
The episode passed quickly, and Su Liu went on to explore leisurely.
The Dongzhou Forest has been uninhabited for hundreds of years and has recovered to its original state. Countless species are growing and evolving rapidly in this natural environment.
For Su Liu, it was like stepping into a lair guarded by a dragon, with priceless treasures everywhere.
She encountered mutant glutinous rice, wild chrysanthemum, violet yedoensis, wild oats, porcini mushrooms, fennel, etc.
In front of her, no matter how powerful the alien plant was, it could be easily purified, and then she would collect its seeds or fruits, or even the plant itself and put it into her pocket.
The special forces responsible for protecting her stood nearby, feeling very invisible.
Does this purifier really need their protection?
Dongzhou Forest is ultimately a tropical area. Even though some exotic plants can overcome the environment and grow here, the local area is still a paradise for tropical plants.
Su Liu had already walked far out of the safety zone. She stood outside a nest of alien plants, staring at the huge fruit opposite her in a daze.
The special forces soldier observed the situation and said, "There are too many alien plants, hundreds if not thousands. Even if we disturb one, it could affect the others."
The implication is, don't set your sights on this forest of exotic plants.
Su Liu swallowed and answered irrelevantly: "Have you ever eaten durian?"
The special forces soldier pinched his nose and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."
"It's a kind of fruit that smells bad but tastes delicious." Su Liu had already smelled the special fruit smell of durian in the wind.
Opposite is a dense durian orchard.
It is very likely that this was a durian cultivation area in the past. After the entire Dongzhou Forest was shrouded in strange factors, they also mutated.
Su Liu actually doesn’t like eating durian very much, but there are too few edible fruits nowadays.
She doesn't want to miss any edible fruit.
Immediately, she pulled out the jade fan from her ring.
"Please wait here for me. I'll get some durian."
She ran two steps, and the special forces soldier who reacted subconsciously wanted to catch up, but was stopped by her again.
"Don't come over here, I won't be able to take care of you if I start fighting!"
Special Forces: “?”
who?
Who can't take care of whom?
But soon, he was dumbfounded.
After being awakened, those hideous alien plants launched a crazy attack on Su Liu.
However, Su Liu was like a dancing butterfly, flying and moving quickly in the orchard. Wherever he passed, all the alien plants were purified and turned into ordinary fruit trees that posed no threat at all.
An hour later, Su Liu wiped the sweat off his face and looked at the large, quiet durian trees in front of him, as well as the fruits scattered everywhere.
Today, eat as much durian as you can.
When a thunderstorm hit, the team set up camp to rest.
Qin Guan and Julia operated the robot to pick up several carts of durian fruits from the jungle and send hundreds of high-quality fruit trees back to the airship.
Inside the tent, Su Liu broke open a durian, took out several plump fruits, and stuffed them into his mouth.
“This is the taste, so authentic!”
Su Liu was so touched that he could eat durian after a long time.
Bixi looked at it for a long time before she mentally prepared herself to eat the durian, which looked like golden poop to her.
"Huh," she looked at the durian in surprise, savoring the taste in her mouth: "It's so sweet, and different from what it smells like, it's really delicious!"
Su Liu hummed twice in triumph and said, "Otherwise, why would I fight for an hour?"
One hour?
The planters all looked outside.
So many alien plants, and they were finished in just one hour?
So scary!
Not long after, Qin Guan came in, dripping wet.
"The robot will transport the fruit trees and fruits back to the airship, and then return based on the location."
Su Liu said, "The fruit needs to be frozen."
"I know, the airship will handle it." Qin Guan ate the cracked durian outside. He felt disgusted at first, but later he actually enjoyed it.
He picked up the fruit and continued to eat it, then heard Su Liu say, "By the way, come and see what you've harvested."
