Chapter 236: Sending Death (33)
Brother Li had seen plants hurting people before, but he couldn't believe that a plant could come out of the soil and chase people to hurt them.
Brother Li explained: "I don't suspect you of lying, I just think this is too unbelievable."
Lan Jin said, "It's okay. It's okay to be suspicious. It's normal. Before this, we didn't believe that plants could run down the mountain from the soil on their own. Anyway, this is what happened. Later, other staff members saw Brother Zhang being injured at the door, which at least proves that we didn't say anything nonsense. The rest will be known after these people recover. But Brother Zhang was injured relatively late, so he should be conscious now. You can go and confirm it with him."
Looking at the calm Lan Jin and the other three, Brother Li seemed to feel for a moment that she really was not lying.
But none of this matters anymore. Those people with superpowers in the base have not returned yet. If these crazy people really go crazy, the only ones who can control them are Lan Jin and the other three. Now he can't even ask them to leave.
Brother Li originally planned to ask them here first and then go to Brother Zhang for confirmation. Since Lan Jin mentioned it, Brother Li went directly to them. "Okay, I'll go over and ask them now, and then ask how to accommodate you. You guys sit here for a while."
However, this wait was not just a moment. Their conversation with Brother Li took two hours, and it took almost three hours for Brother Li to come out from Brother Zhang. A total of five hours had passed. It was already bright outside, and a new day was finally about to begin.
But, to be honest, apart from the meal yesterday morning, they haven't eaten anything for a whole day and night.
Lao Gao's stomach growled uncomfortably, and just when Ling Jiang was about to say something to him, Huang Jinghe's stomach also growled.
Huang Jinghe smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I'm hungry."
Lao Gao gave Lan Jin and Ling Jiang a wry smile and said, "I'm hungry too. Is it okay to be hungry? Do I have to say that?"
Of course not, because after hearing the two drum sounds, they actually felt a little hungry.
There was no choice, the four of them could only sit on the sofa and eat compressed biscuits by themselves.
As Lao Gao gnawed on it, he said in disgust, "Why do I have to eat this even after returning to the base?"
"Because we can't get any other food out of the bag." Otherwise, she would have taken the three of them into the space for a big meal.
After a day and night of eating, one compressed biscuit was not enough for them. When Brother Li came up again, they were tasting the second compressed biscuit.
But when Brother Li saw the four of them eating, he remembered that they had been hungry for a whole day and night.
He quickly walked over to the four of them and said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm so sorry. I was so busy asking about the situation that I forgot you guys haven't eaten yet. I just talked to Brother Zhang about this. Why don't you go to the cafeteria for breakfast now and chat while we eat."
Brother Li's attitude was much better than before. I think it was because he heard a similar answer from Brother Zhang. Seeing that they did not lie and had such strong skills, his attitude naturally improved a lot.
The four of them did not object and followed Brother Li.
…
Following Brother Li, the breakfast would naturally not be in the cafeteria. After the four of them had a delicate and nutritious breakfast, they couldn't help but sigh that the conditions of the leadership were really good. Although the breakfast in the cafeteria downstairs was also good, it was far inferior to the nutritious meal in front of them.
However, this was where they were wrong. Brother Li said, "Brother Zhang just reminded me to order this breakfast for you. He said you've worked hard on this journey and need these nutritious meals to replenish your bodies. You can eat first and just listen to me."
Brother Li’s meaning was very simple. Just as they had just thought, he had figured out what had happened. However, he still had an attitude of both belief and disbelief about the fact that plants could run on their own.
Lan Jin said, "Actually, this isn't surprising. Brother Li must have been to that lush forest before, right? The fact that plants can grow out of the soil doesn't seem like something to be taken too seriously."
However, Brother Li said, "I'm sorry, I've never been there. I've only seen the videos taken by people who've been there before, so I can't imagine what the situation was like. But now that it's been confirmed, and the lush forest has been destroyed, the things I'm worried about will probably never happen again."
Lan Jin paused with his chopsticks and said, "We've heard from Brother Zhang before that this dense forest seems to exist in many places. We don't know how it was formed, nor do we know what dangers it contains, but it exists in many places."
Brother Li explained, "It's a lot, but it's not a lot either. After all, the formation of dense forests like these requires certain conditions. First, they must be located in high-lying mountains. As you can see, the lower-lying areas have long been buried deep underwater, making it impossible for such dense forests to form. Therefore, almost all the dense forests discovered now are located on high-lying mountains like ours."
The mountains that can be seen now are really high mountains, but one thing is that not all cities are built on mountains, so even if there are lush forests in many places, not every lush forest is dangerous.
Another thing is that the existence of this lush forest actually has a lot of research value. For example, why pollen causes extreme itching, and why plants can make people crazy and have superpowers, these are all things worth studying. However, this lush forest is too close to the area where humans live. If it is not destroyed, the danger is secondary. The only problem is that someone might go in and get something out, and have some bad ideas.
That's why this weeding operation took place.
The four of them understood what was said. After all, getting rid of this dense forest was a good thing.
However, Lan Jin still had a question. "Logically, this operation should be very dangerous. Why would they send a group of people without any special abilities to undertake such a dangerous mission? The mutant plants here are useless to knives and wooden silos. Sending those without special abilities to go would only mean their own death. Why not send people with special abilities?"
Lan Jin's question hit the nail on the head, and the reason was very simple. It was too dangerous over there. Even if people with special abilities went there, they might just be going to die. But those with special abilities had more important missions to shoulder. So those without special abilities, including Brother Zhang, were honestly just being pushed out there to die.
Thanks to Bu Ke Wo Qing Er for the reward, thank you!
