"As I mentioned before, there's a research institute on the island in the middle of the lake. We received a distress signal from there a couple of days ago. This mission was originally assigned to another team, but they ran into trouble shortly after leaving this morning and had to return to base."
"The higher-ups were worried that if things dragged on for too long, it would be detrimental to the professors at the research institute, so they temporarily assigned the task to me and asked me to rush over with my team."
Mu Cheng nodded to show that he understood. After a moment of silence, he said, "This journey will definitely not be peaceful. You must pay attention to safety."
"Don't you know how to ask me to accompany you?" Tang Nuo smiled and hugged Mu Cheng. "I just want you to accompany me without you having to take any risks."
Mu Cheng had no objection and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Tang Nuo smiled. He liked this about Mu Cheng. She was willing to accompany him no matter where he went.
In the evening, after Tang Nuo and his friends had finished their meal, Tang Nuo and Mu Cheng went upstairs to stay in a separate room, and Qi Fei also took his wife Wang Xintong to sleep upstairs.
A quiet night.
The next morning, after breakfast, Mu Cheng gave Song Dechang a few instructions and asked him to take the team back first.
Wang Xintong knew that Mu Cheng was going to go with Tang Nuo, so she followed him.
The convoy drove along the highway after leaving Yujia Village. There were not many cars on the highway, and there were still many zombies at the entrance of the small town along the way. The convoy stopped and started all the way, and finally approached the island in the middle of the lake after three days.
The convoy left the highway and stopped by the lake. It was already noon. Tang Nuo asked everyone to stop the car, get off to rest and have lunch. They had been eating dry food in the car before, and now they were almost there, so he asked everyone to stop to rest and have a good meal. No one knew what they would face next, so they had to get enough rest before going in.
As soon as he got off the car, Mu Cheng discovered something strange. It was already winter, and many plants had died except for the mutated plants. However, the vegetation by the lake was unusually lush, and the grass and shrubs were greener than before the apocalypse. Moreover, the water in the lake was crystal blue, with no signs of pollution at all.
Others also looked at this scene in surprise. A soldier strode over and carefully pulled up a plant by its roots. It was a plant with large serrated leaves.
He was very excited to see this thing. He strode to a plant and pulled it up. It was also a plant with serrated leaves, but it was a little different from the other plant in his hand. Then he bent down and pulled out a few more plants.
The soldier excitedly took the plants and walked up to Tang Nuo. "Boss, look."
Tang Nuo took the plant and studied it, and came to the conclusion, "This is not a mutant plant."
"No..." The soldier said excitedly, pointing at the plants in Tang Nuo's hand with a smile, "This is bitter herbs. This is dandelion, shepherd's purse, purslane, and ash greens. These are all wild vegetables and can be eaten."
Tang Nuo was also very excited when he heard it. "Really?"
The soldier nodded heavily. "Really, Boss, these things are everywhere in the mountains. I grew up eating them."
Tang Nuo looked at the area, which was full of wild vegetables similar to the ones in his hand. He was very excited. "Come on, come on, start digging these up. Be careful not to damage them."
"Great!" Everyone was very excited when they heard that these were wild vegetables and could be eaten.
Their troops had the best food in the base, usually consisting of rice, dried vegetables, pickled vegetables, and various meats.
