Chapter 226 Osmanthus is Poisonous



"What is it?" Cheng Shaolin quickly asked.

Li Xiao looked at Cheng Shaolin, her eyes filled with terror.

“A very large orange energy source is located inside that food factory.”

Everyone: ...!!

Cheng Shaolin: "How big?"

Li Xiao: "It's quite big. I don't know what it is."

Everyone knows that Li Xiao can't be sure what's exactly inside the map, but he can determine the level of danger by the amount of energy.

"Xiaoxiao, how much older is she? How does she compare to before?" Yu Yanbin was also very nervous, as it was rare for Li Xiao to react so strongly.

Li Xiao is quite worldly-wise, and it's rare for her to cause such a stir.

"It's bigger than that cactus."

"hiss!"

...

Everyone still remembers what a cactus looks like.

That's a really troublesome mutated plant, and it has even more energy than that, so you can imagine how dangerous it is up ahead.

They couldn't help but turn their gaze towards the food factory in front of them.

Why wasn't this listed as a top priority before? Did you know something about it? If you did know, why didn't you say anything?

Looking at the vehicles parked here, there were at least seven or eight, not including them.

I don't know what the base was planning, but look at all those empty cars. If they hadn't been prepared, this would have been a disaster.

"I don't know what's inside. With so many people going, I wonder if there will be any problems," Meng Yang said with a worried expression.

If the energy is greater than that of the cactus, then it can only be compared to that thing they didn't bother with in that county town before.

They had avoided this place like the plague back then, but now they had no idea what it was.

"What should we do?" Shao Jie didn't know what to do next, so he had to ask the captain.

"So many of them went, they should be fine, right?"

Cheng Shaolin glanced over there before saying in a deep voice, "The base has been mobilized, so it should be."

Sure enough, there was a car parked in front, easily visible. The car was painted with military green camouflage patterns, making it obvious to anyone with eyes that it belonged to someone.

"Is this part of the base's mission?"

"have no idea."

"Should we go take a look?" Tian Tian looked at the food factory, which was not moving, and felt a little uneasy.

"Shao Lin, what do you think?" Yu Yanbin asked, staring at the food factory shrouded in drizzle.

"Go wait over there for a bit. We'll help if needed."

"Let's go. It's best if nothing happens."

As soon as the captain spoke, everyone headed in that direction.

As soon as I got closer, I could hear sounds coming from inside. There were shouts from people, and some other sounds that I couldn't distinguish.

"That was intense. I wonder how it went?"

"Uncle Meng, don't worry, the base's team is here." Shao Jie comforted Meng Yang, who was standing beside him, though he himself wasn't entirely sure.

"Hmm. That makes sense." Meng Yang nodded, seemingly convinced by Shao Jie's words.

As they were talking, the voices inside grew much louder. Those of them standing outside all perked up.

At that moment, a person rushed out from inside.

Shao Jie was the fastest; he ran over and grabbed the man, preventing him from having any close contact with the ground.

He recognized the man; he'd seen him during a mission with them last time. He didn't know his name, but he still had a vague recollection of him.

Everyone crowded around him. The man looked very disheveled, his face filled with terror.

"What's wrong? How's it inside?" Yu Yanbin rushed over and asked.

"Please help me, the situation inside is bad. There's a mutated plant inside, and it's very difficult to deal with." The man was still panting heavily and hadn't calmed down yet.

"What kind of mutated plant is it?" This was what Cheng Shaolin was most concerned about.

"Yes, it is an osmanthus tree."

"Is there anything else? Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Oh—that osmanthus tree is poisonous; everyone's been poisoned." "Could you please help us rescue them?"

The man was still pleading; he had come out seeking help. He had finally spotted someone outside and wasn't about to let the opportunity slip by.

“Osmanthus flowers are poisonous, so it must be the flowers. Xiaoxiao, get your mask out.” Cheng Shaolin turned to Li Xiao and said after hearing this, time was too tight, they had to hurry.

Li Xiao understood the importance of time, and her consciousness immediately began searching through the space.

Soon, she found what she was looking for among the supplies she had initially purchased.

She took out a box of gas masks, quickly opened it, and said, "Take them yourself, hurry up."

This is much better than a mask. At this point, no one cared where it came from; everyone quickly grabbed one and put it on.

"You don't need to go in, just wait outside," Yu Yanbin said to the person before walking inside.

Now is not the time to waste; there are too many people inside. If something happens to them all, the base's strength will be halved.

Cheng Shaolin was a little worried about Li Xiao and was about to tell her not to go in. But before he could open his mouth, Li Xiao had already put on her gas mask, put the box into her spatial storage, and followed behind Yu Yanbin.

Watching Li Xiao's retreating figure, who had already passed him, Cheng Shaolin had no choice but to follow behind her.

The group quickly ran into the factory, all understanding the seriousness of the situation and daring not to delay.

This is a factory that produces snack foods, and it's not a very large facility.

Once inside, you'll see people lying on the floor, groaning weakly and writhing in pain.

There were a few other people standing there, but they were also holding on, even though they were already teetering on the brink of collapse.

This time, teams 1 and 2 from the base are leading the mission, while the team here is led by Xiang Yuping, the captain of the second battalion.

This person usually had a very warm and friendly demeanor, always smiling. But now, his face was deathly pale, even his lips were colorless. He looked as if he might collapse at any moment.

Xiang Yuping was surprised that the people he went to find had returned so quickly. He focused his attention and realized that everyone who came in was wearing a gas mask.

this……

Li Xiao didn't waste any time and quickly took out the same box from her spatial storage and threw it onto the open ground.

Tian Tian and the others quickly ran over and grabbed gas masks, giving one to each of the people lying on the ground.

Of course, Xiang Yuping also received one.

While Li Xiao and the others were busy putting gas masks on people, Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin, who were standing to the side, were paying attention to a huge osmanthus tree in the corner of the factory.

This tree is now almost three stories tall, while the factory is only five stories high. This tree is blocking most of the building.

Now the raindrops are getting heavier; they're no longer just raindrops, but a curtain of rain.

The drizzle had long since turned into a moderate rain. In the hazy mist, one could still see a faint, pale yellow shimmering in the light. It wasn't a heavy, very faint yellow, so pale that it was almost hard to see.
