19. Selaginella
"You go die first, and I will collect your body after you die." Su Liu said.
Lin Roufang screamed as if she had been deeply wronged, "Liuliu, why did you curse Yanchen? He really worried about you for nothing!"
white?
Cypress?
Su Liu suddenly had an idea and exclaimed in surprise, "Yes, it's Selaginella!"
Zhang Yanchen was furious and grabbed Su Liu's arm and dragged her outside.
"Enough! Su Liu, it's fine if you're usually unlearned, but at this critical moment of life and death, why are you still so annoying? You're a complete jinx. Having a fiancée like you is a real shame for me!"
The matter was of great importance, so Su Liu quickly said, "That strange plant is Selaginella, a fern that grows on the ground or rocks!"
Zhang Yanchen calmed down a bit. "What's Selaginella? How do you know?"
Su Liu was about to urge him to report first, but Lin Roufang interrupted him with pursed lips.
"Liuliu, this concerns the lives of tens of millions of people in Nanjin City. Why would you make up a random name and lead everyone to waste their time on a non-existent creature?"
Doesn't exist?
After all, Lin Roufang is a purifier, and Su Liu is a little unsure whether "Selaginella" really does not exist in this world.
She looked carefully at the strange plant on the screen again, comparing it with her impression of the Selaginella.
Although the appearance of the plant will change after infection, you can still see its pre-infection appearance to some extent.
It really looked like Selaginella, in shape, color, even the numerous forked rhizomes, and the leaves with white serrated edges and curled inwards, it was exactly the same as the Selaginella in her memory.
She then said to Zhang Yanchen, "Talk to the experts first. It only takes a few seconds to search the database and come up with a conclusion. After all, we can't miss even one possibility now!"
Zhang Yanchen hesitated a little and looked at Lin Roufang.
Lin Roufang said sadly, "Yanchen, don't you believe me?"
Zhang Yanchen whispered, "But Su Liu seems very sure."
Lin Roufang's eyes flashed with disdain. "I'm a purifier, and I can say with certainty that there's no plant called Selaginella. Yanchen, she made up this random name just to frame you!"
The situation is so urgent now. If Zhang Yanchen just randomly mentions a name and misleads experts to search in this direction but finds no results, he will definitely be punished afterwards.
Zhang Yanchen also figured it out and became even more annoyed with Su Liu.
"You're still so petty and don't know how to consider the overall situation! In order to drag me down, you don't even care about the lives of tens of millions of people in Nanjin City!"
Su Liu was dumbfounded.
Did Lin Roufang eat this guy’s brain?
Seeing that Zhang Yanchen didn't believe him, Su Liu walked towards the other experts. Just as he was about to say Selaginella's name, Zhang Yanchen covered his mouth and dragged him out roughly.
"Su Liu, you are so disgusting! It is a shame for me to have a fiancée as cheap as you!"
Lin Roufang chuckled on the side and pretended to be generous and said, "Yanchen, Liuliu has never seen the world and is a bit simple-minded, so it's inevitable that she would do something like this. Don't be rough with her."
Zhang Yanchen was afraid that his relationship with Su Liu would be known, which would delay the battle and lead to punishment, so he pulled him out with force.
He was a man, and a person with special abilities. He was much stronger than Su Liu. Su Liu didn't even have the slightest chance to resist, like a weak little chicken.
Seeing that she was about to be dragged out, and there was no clue who was inside, she didn't care about anything else. She suddenly turned around and kicked Zhang Yanchen in the crotch.
"Selaginella, it's Selaginella!" she shouted loudly, but no one paid any attention to her.
She had no choice but to run to the command room and wave her arms vigorously through the glass window to attract the attention of the people inside.
But everyone's attention was on the satellite screen and no one saw her.
Helplessly, Su Liu picked up a chair and smashed the glass window wildly. The noise finally made the man look up, and his emerald green eyes narrowed slightly.
Su Liu was ecstatic and exaggeratedly gestured with his mouth: "Selaginella, it's Selaginella!"
Just before she could give her name, Zhang Yanchen caught up with her and pulled her to the ground, leaving her in such a mess that even her hair was disheveled.
When Zhang Yanchen was furious and wanted to use violence, the man had already come out of the command room.
His aura was already strong, and his face was extremely dark at this moment. His sharp eyes only glanced at Zhang Yanchen for a moment, and Zhang Yanchen's whole body suddenly became cold, and he took two steps back uncontrollably.
Then he bent down and extended his hand towards Su Liu.
"Can you get up?"
Su Liu twisted his leg a little, especially when his butt landed directly on the ground, causing him to feel numb and painful.
"It's okay," she said, using the force to stand up. "That strange plant is Selaginella. Just search in that direction."
Zhang Yanchen hurriedly said, "General, she..."
Huo Jie's indifferent eyes swept over him, and Zhang Yanchen's shoulders trembled. He felt as if countless sharp swords were hanging above his head, ready to destroy him at any time.
He closed his mouth, his back already soaked.
Looking at the clasped hands of Huo Jie and Su Liu, Lin Roufang took a step forward and lifted her drooping hair.
"Admiral Ives, please believe me, there really is no such plant as Selaginella."
Su Liu looked at Huo Jie in surprise, but Huo Jie remained cold and didn't react at all.
Lin Roufang continued, "Su Liu is just an uneducated fool who can make up any lie to show off. The situation is critical now and every second counts. Don't let her lead you astray."
The other purification engineers at the scene also had no impression of it, and even the experts checked the database and found no corresponding records.
Su Liu was anxious. He didn't have time to be shocked by Huo Jie's identity. He said anxiously, "Check again. If there is really nothing, I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Someone yelled, "How dare you? Even if we delay the battle, it will be useless even if we tear you into pieces!"
Su Liu looked at Huo Jie and begged, "Can you please trust me just once, just once?"
Huo Jie glanced at her.
"Selaginella?" He didn't hesitate and gave the order, "Contact the Imperial Capital Biological Headquarters and conduct a comprehensive search."
Upon receiving the order, all personnel at the Imperial Capital Biological Headquarters went out to search for all relevant records of "Selaginella".
Thousands of years ago, when the strange factor first appeared in the world, the human world was in turmoil and civilization was almost extinct.
It wasn't until much later that humans reorganized their knowledge, but the genetic maps of many organisms had been completely lost.
Today's newly established databases try to cover as many biological maps as possible, but there are more than one trillion known species of organisms on Earth, including microorganisms, plants, animals, etc., so not all organisms are fully preserved in the database.
The headquarters needs to manually look through ancient texts or precious paper books left behind, striving to find the answers in the shortest possible time.
Lin Roufang looked at Su Liu and chuckled softly, "That little country bumpkin still wants to show off, without even considering his own limitations. But it's also true, the more ignorant he is, the more arrogant and stupid he becomes. He doesn't even know when he's completely embarrassed."
Su Liu ignored her and waited anxiously for the result.
Ten minutes later, the biological headquarters responded.
"Selaginella, a native or rock-dwelling fern of the Selaginellaceae family, has been compared with the exotic plants found in Nanjin City and is confirmed to be correct."
Instantly, the entire combat headquarters was in an uproar, but soon fell into a new round of operations.
The psychics rushed to the battlefield to weaken the alien plant first, while the purifiers received information from the biological headquarters and became familiar with the morphological characteristics of the Selaginella to facilitate subsequent purification.
Everyone got busy, and Su Liu breathed a sigh of relief. He found a corner and squatted down quietly again.
