Chapter 393 No Rush
Outside the base.
After Captain Zhou contacted someone to take this thing out, he followed closely with the psychics.
After all, the temperature outside the base is about 80 degrees. The ice in Lingjiang is indeed thick, and the tentacle monster was also stunned by Lan Jin, but what if? So Captain Zhou brought many psychics to follow the monster. Once the ice melted, the people with ice abilities came forward to replenish the ice.
However, even if several people with ice-type abilities used their abilities at the same time, they were still not as strong as Ling Jiang alone. After driving for more than two hours, the ice on the tentacle monster had almost melted.
Originally, the tentacles were tightly attached to the body and lying on the wooden board placed behind the car, but after the ice melted, the tentacles could not be controlled and immediately slid down and stuck to the ground.
When these tentacles touched the ground, they immediately stuck to it. It ignored the vehicles in front of it and dragged the rest of its body off the car.
When the entire body of this huge tentacle monster completely touched the ground, its entire body was tightly attached to the ground.
Such a big thing falling from the car naturally attracted everyone's attention, but when they got out of the car and took another look, an incredible scene happened.
These tentacles that were glued to the ground gradually merged with the land. They quickly took root, sprouted, and grew into trees, standing tall in the same place. Even the leaves that grew out were crisp, green, and tender.
Just as one team member was about to reach out and touch her, Captain Zhou quickly stopped them and said sternly, "Get in the car and get out of here. Quick."
No one knew why, but out of habit, they got in their cars without hesitation and left the area as quickly as possible.
But the car didn't drive very far. When it was at a distance where they could see this place, Captain Zhou stopped the car, took out a telescope to observe it, and then returned to the base as quickly as possible.
When Captain Zhou returned, he had not yet finished questioning Captain Zhang. After all, Lan Jin and the others had been in the H City base for more than a day or two. They not only wanted to know the background of Lan Jin and the others, but also what they had experienced during this period, so the questioning naturally took a long time.
But before Captain Zhang could finish his words, Captain Zhou appeared here with a nervous look on his face.
Captain Zhou reported what had just happened. Not only the leaders, but even they themselves looked unhappy.
"Everyone saw it clearly just now. It was just an ordinary tentacle. How come it turned into trees in a lush forest when it touched the ground?"
The trees in the lush forest are easy to distinguish from the trees outside. You can tell by looking at their trunks and growth rates. Not only are the branches in the lush forest thick, but the leaves are also lush and green. But it’s different outside. Not to mention the slow growth, the key point is that there are no ordinary trees alive outside now. This makes things a bit tricky.
"That's not the news we received before. If that's the case, wouldn't our base be in great danger?"
Leaders have to take this issue seriously.
Captain Zhang said, "But if it's Maolin, there's a circle around it, and nothing inside can get out unless something unexpected happens. If that's the case, it's actually not that bad. When you left, didn't it grow to a certain area? Did you send someone to watch it nearby?"
"Yes, I left two teams behind, but we were worried about the danger, so we just watched from afar." Captain Zhou then asked anxiously, "Captain Zhang, you've been to Maolin several times. You know more about it than we do. Can you tell us about the situation there?"
Captain Zhang said, "Hasn't the situation been reported before? It's just like that. We should be more careful of the vines than the mutants, because getting scratched by them..."
"Wait, being scratched should cause mutation. Why did the previous team members grow vines directly after being scratched? They can't be incomplete evolution, right?"
The leaders said, "To be on the safe side, Captain Zhou, Captain Zhang, take some men over there to keep an eye on it. Ideally... blow it up directly. It's always unsafe to have a time bomb like this around the base."
"Okay." They said in unison.
But the leaders immediately said, "Whether or not to take Lan Jin and the other three out? Think about it for yourselves. Captain Zhang, you should also consider what I said. This will definitely benefit the base, and it shouldn't be that difficult for them to accept. Everyone's starting point is always for the base, for the base, and for each individual. The ultimate goal is the same."
Captain Zhang said in embarrassment: "Take your time, there's no need to rush."
"Okay, you decide."
Captain Zhou and Captain Zhang left the office, and Captain Zhou immediately asked, "What's going on? Could it be that the leader wants to do something to Lan Jin and the other three?"
"No, the leader just thinks that these four have very high abilities and it would be a shame for them to live in the base as semi-soldiers, so he wants them to join us and obey our orders in the future."
Captain Zhou heard this and said, "They might not agree. Little Huang is okay among the four, as his parents are originally soldiers from our base. But the other three seem to be stubborn and unyielding."
Captain Zhang sighed and said, "Yes."
Although the leader's words did not force them, his tone did not allow for refusal. Fortunately, there was plenty of time, so there was no need to rush. "Take your time. I understand the base's feelings, but I also understand their feelings. Let's take it one step at a time."
But if they were going to bomb Maolin, how could they do it without the four of them? Captain Zhang said, "I'll go find them. They probably don't want to miss the opportunity to earn contribution points. With them accompanying us, we'll be safer on the road."
Captain Zhou actually thought so too, but he didn't know how to start the conversation along the way. Fortunately, Captain Zhang brought it up himself, and he was relieved.
Captain Zhou turned to arrange the personnel for the trip, and Captain Zhang also came to their store and asked them to participate in this mission.
However, they already had a store open at this time, so they couldn't just close the store when they went out on a mission. After discussing it, they said, "Lao Gao and Xiao Huang will go together. Lan Jin and I will stay behind to look after the store. They are both very strong, so you don't have to worry about them going out with you."
Captain Zhang naturally understood this principle, but in fact, the base would rather let Lan Jin go, even if it was just him alone.
Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment, but remained silent. He replied, "Okay, it's not very far. We'll be back soon."
The polar day is still continuing, and there is no distinction between day and night outside, so at any time, as long as you are prepared, you can fight at any time.
