Chapter 85: Entering the Mountains

The four people took turns observing at the mission center for several days, but each time they just watched and did not take any missions.

This strange behavior attracted the attention of a small number of people, who secretly observed what kind of mission they would eventually receive.

On the fourth day, when the staff thought they would just take a look and leave like they did in the previous two days, the fierce-looking man walked over.

"Take up mission number 77."

"Ah?" The staff member paused for a moment, then responded immediately, "Okay, okay, which team are you from?"

"Team 6."

Every sentence of Makimai was brief, and his tone of "keep away from strangers" was not too obvious.

Many of the people queuing at the back had seen members of their team in the previous few days. When they saw that they had accepted the mission today, they all looked towards the mission card No. 77.

Mission 77: Bring back five complete second-level mutant plants. The mission reward is 6,000 energy points.

Everyone looked at it from left to right and found the mission content to be unremarkable. No matter how they looked at it, they couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden in this mission and were confused about the behavior of Makimai and the others.

Fu Xiangwen and Makimai ignored the gazes from all around them and walked out of the office hall steadily.

"How is it? How is it? Is there a suitable mission?"

Shu Xin saw them coming back and quickly asked.

"Hehehe, we're lucky today. The updated mission just happens to meet our needs. It's worth it that we got up several days early."

Xiangwen couldn't hold back his desire to share and said with a smile.

"Really? What's the mission?"

Shuxin's curiosity was piqued.

"Well, it's a mission to get a second-level mutant plant. I guess it will be sent to a research institute for research. The reward is not bad, 6,000 energy points."

Xiangwen easily took out the mission card from Makimai's pocket and handed it to Shuxin.

"Well, it's good. The mutant plants are strong enough and grow together. The second level is just right for them to practice."

Yan Mo scanned the task board and said affirmatively.

Seeing Makimai quickly wash his hands and sit down at the dining table, Mu Xiangwen also quickly ran to the bathroom.

If you are not active in doing things, there is something wrong with your thinking.

"We have received the mission. When will we set out?"

Carrot lowered his head and took a sip of the hot black rice porridge, feeling that the cold air he had absorbed outside in the morning was immediately dispelled.

"We'll set off after lunch break. This time we'll probably be staying outside for about a week. Xinbao, please pack up the things in the villa before we leave."

Yan Mo stroked the edge of the cup of hot milk in his hand.

"Hmm? To what extent?"

Shuxin, who was concentrating on fighting with Crystal Shrimp Dumpling, was suddenly called and was a little caught off guard.

"Just leave the most basic things. We'll be gone for a week, and there are still people from the Bai family spying on us in the base. They might do something bad as soon as we leave. Even if they climb over the wall, we don't know. We'd better be careful."

"Yeah, okay!"

Yan Mo's analysis made sense. They were few in number now, only four people. Once they left the base, the villa would be like a no-man's land, so it would not be realistic to install surveillance.

But when we come back this time, we can consider arranging the high-voltage power grid.

After breakfast, the four of them packed their things separately. Shuxin took back the things that shouldn't be in the villa, and Yanmo was responsible for packing the things that the two of them would need when they went out.

In fact, her space has all kinds of things, and she has to pack her things before going out every time in order to cultivate their awareness.

In case you get lost accidentally, you can pack the things in your backpack yourself, and you will know what is in it and how long it will last, so you can make the best choice for yourself.

Most of the time, Yanmo helped Shuxin to pack up her things, because Shuxin had her own space and this training was unimportant to her.

After lunch break, they went out. White Tiger and Snow Wolf knew that they were going out again, so they excitedly turned into toddler size early and jumped into the car to wait for them.

They can now appear in the base openly, but they still cannot roam around everywhere and their range of activities is limited. But it is different when they go outside, they can run around as they please.

Shuxin and his friends' destination this time was determined to be a mountain ten kilometers southeast of City C.

The mountain is covered with lush vegetation, and there are no shortage of mutant plants and animals. It is a perfect place for the newly advanced white tigers and snow wolves to train.

Facts have proved that the mountain they chose is indeed lush with vegetation!

As soon as they drove into the foot of the mountain, unknown vines and plants attacked them.

"Get out of the car!" Yan Mo warned them in advance so that they would not be caught off guard.

In order to avoid scrapping the car that had not been driven for long, four people nimbly opened the door, jumped out of the car, and quickly put the car into the space.

The moment they opened the car door, the white tiger and the snow wolf squeezed out from the gap and quickly entered combat mode.

Animals have a strong sense of territory. To the white tiger and the snow wolf, the car and the owner belong to them and they will not tolerate any outsiders invading.

The purpose of this trip was to train them, and Shuxin and the others were very confident in letting them charge in the front while they would follow behind to catch any fish that slipped through the net.

The mutated plants at the foot of the mountain were not of high level, and White Tiger and Snow Wolf easily dealt with the mutated plants that attacked them.

After dealing with the two mutated plants that attacked them, the other plants nearby lost their aggressiveness, so they did not stay at the foot of the mountain for long and continued to move forward.

The original path up the mountain was covered by mutated plants, so they could only make their way as they went.

There are many plants in the mountains, as well as many strange insects. Many insects will mutate, and most of them live in groups. In order to ensure that you will not be bitten by insects when you are not paying attention.

This time when they went out, they wore hats, masks, and goggles. They wore long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and thick-soled high boots. They tied their trouser legs tightly, wrapping themselves tightly from head to toe to leave no chance for insects to take advantage.

"The higher we go, the more mutant plants there are and their levels are increasing. We don't need to go too deep today. Let them get familiar with the environment outside first, and then continue to go up tomorrow."

The four of them stopped when they were nearly one-third of the way up the mountain. Yan Mo observed the surrounding plants and said.

"Okay, we'll stay here tonight. We won't encounter any ferocious mutant animals. Large animals like to move around in the deep mountains and don't hang around the edge, which provides some convenience for us."

Mu Qimai is also an expert in wild survival and is very familiar with this kind of mountain environment.
