Chapter 31 Are you interested in joining our guard team?

With this A-level mutant tree root, she has passed the assessment.

Cole operated on the Star Brain, opened a certain internal interface, aimed at the mutant tree root in front of him and scanned it carefully. Then a virtual projection was generated on the Star Brain.

Now all we have to do is wait for the signal, and then upload the generated image and mutant tree root information to the monitoring system of the M412 Academy.

Cole temporarily put the tree root into the nano ring, and by the way, cut off a piece of the lightning-struck wood that he had been thinking about, and put it in.

"How did you find out about the existence of the other tree?" Cole asked curiously.

"Remember there were two caves where we fell?" Jiang Ning said calmly, "I followed the roots into another cave, where I found another underground oasis similar to this one."

"Another oasis?!" Li Xiang was shocked.

It was rare to have an oasis in the polluted area, but now there are two here!

"That oasis is in the dark, it's more accurate to say it's a cold and humid swamp." Jiang Ning thought for a moment and corrected his previous statement.

The two oases, one yin and one yang, one bright and one dark, formed an opposition.

In addition, her perception also detected signs of some living creatures under the swamp mud. Jiang Ning originally thought it was a beast, but it did not show hostility to her. In order to make a quick decision, she simply ignored it. After dealing with another mutant tree, she quickly returned here.

"It's really amazing!" Ke Lai exclaimed, "It seems that humans still don't know enough about the contaminated area."

The contaminated area suddenly appeared in various regions a hundred years ago. No one knows the reason for its formation. It's just that all animals and plants that came into contact with the source of pollution and were infected have undergone varying degrees of mutation, showing a very strong and aggressive side. It was

also at that time that humans awakened to the superpowers.

Today, the contaminated area is still expanding with the passage of time, and the living space of human beings is being compressed. In fact, many completely polluted planets have appeared in recent years.

The military region and the research institute have been trying to find ways to evolve the contaminated area. For example, the Aurora Star, which was transformed by the Yuanxia Group at a high price, is one example.

However, the cost of doing so is too high. With the financial resources of the Federation, it is simply not possible to support the large-scale promotion of this method.

The three decided to go out and talk about it.

Li Xiang was the only boy among the three, so the task of carrying Ji Fan naturally fell on him.

Several people followed the remaining trunk and crawled up with difficulty.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ning's hand finally touched the stone on the top.

Jiang Ning and Ke Lai worked together to pull up the remaining Li Xiang and Ji Fan. Li Xiang was so tired after coming up that he lay on the ground and didn't want to get up. He panted and asked, "Ke Lai, didn't your school teach you the flying method?"

Theoretically, the flying method does not belong to any kind of superpower, and anyone with a certain amount of mental power can use it.

"Do you think everyone is as gifted as you?" Ke Lai pursed his lips, "With the teaching level of the superpower academy on the M412 star, there are not many people who can do it."

Li Xiang can indeed be called a natural talent in the use of superpowers. He can master the flying method and treatment techniques just by relying on his self-exploration in the past few days.

"That's right." Li Xiang was very proud.

If his mental power level was a little higher, he would definitely be a genius among geniuses.

After the signal was restored, Ke Lai uploaded the assessment data stored in the background. After

a few people rested on the spot for a while, Jiang Ning suddenly said to Li Xiang: "Call the rescue team and report our location."

Li Xiang glanced at the star brain in her hand and advised: "You should change to a star brain with satellite signals. Yours is outdated."

Jiang Ning said seriously: "I am more nostalgic."

Li Xiang looked up and down with a distorted face: "Nostalgic? I think you are picking."

Jiang Ning: "..."

After so many years, Li Xiang is still so rude!

Li Xiang finally dialed the rescue hotline.

"This is the rescue hotline for the uninhabited area in the western suburbs of M412. May I ask how I can help you?"

The deep male voice was still on the phone.

Li Xiang told the rescue hotline about the experiences and situations of several people, and then suddenly stopped when he arrived at the location.

"We are... um... here?" Li Xiang looked at the two people around him blankly.

Ke Lai opened the satellite map of the star brain and took out the map of the uninhabited area that he had taken before and compared them carefully.

"The insect star is always..." Ke Lai's eyes moved up and suddenly saw something, his pupils widened suddenly, "Death Swamp!?"

They actually came to the Death Swamp along the underground cave! They

actually stayed here for so long without any defense, isn't it very dangerous? !

"Excuse me, where are you now?" the boy on the other end of the rescue hotline asked again patiently.

"Hello, we are currently in the Death Swamp, close to the upper right direction of the Insect Star." Cole went over and reported the location of several people to the operator in as much detail as possible.

"Death Swamp? Isn't it explicitly forbidden to go there? How did you get there!" The operator frowned on the phone, and his voice was full of confusion.

For added security, there are individual guards responsible for patrolling the outer circle of the Death Swamp. How could someone get in there?

"It may be a bit complicated to explain. We still have a wounded person here. Anyway, please send someone to rescue as soon as possible." Cole said.

"Okay, wait a minute. I'll contact the nearby guards." The operator hung up the phone.

The three of them, plus Ji Fan, who was lying on the ground, looked at each other in silence.

People are so strange. They could still talk and laugh without knowing that this was the Death Swamp. Now that they know, they feel that the atmosphere around them has become very gloomy, as if something could come out and attack them at any time.

About fifteen minutes later, the solemn atmosphere was finally broken. Not far away, five tall figures in military uniforms were walking towards them. The rescue finally came, and the people were relieved.

The accompanying soldiers put the unconscious Ji Fan into the capsule, and then two soldiers lifted the capsule.

Jiang Ning took the initiative to explain what happened underground to the leading soldier.

"You said there is an underground oasis?"

After listening to Jiang Ning, the leader of the single-soldier team couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Obviously, Jiang Ning used the term underground oasis instead of contaminated area.

"Yes, sir, there is not only an oasis underground, but also a very disgusting mutant tree. We estimate that its level is at least A-level or above." Li Xiang's stomach kept churning when he thought of the knot on the back of the mutant tree frog.

What's hateful is that he even touched it with his hand.

"This is the first time that mutant plants have appeared on M412." The captain of the single soldier lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "What happened to those trees?"

Since they were still alive and standing in front of him intact, they must have solved the problem of the mutant plants.

Li Xiang: "Dead."

This answer was similar to what he thought in his heart. The captain of the single soldier raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised that the three of them could actually get rid of the A-level mutant plants. That thing was very difficult to deal with. Even as single soldiers, they had to spend some effort to deal with it.

The captain of the single soldier asked with a little interest: "Did you do it?"

Li Xiang froze, shook his head honestly and said: "It wasn't me, it was Jiang Ning who used his supernatural power to burn the bodies of those mutant trees, so we were able to escape."

He pointed to Jiang Ning beside him.

The captain of the single soldier looked at Jiang Ning in surprise: "Little sister, are you a fire-type mutant?"

Being able to deal with A-level mutant plants, at least her level is A-level.

The captain of the single soldier immediately wanted to win her over: "Are you interested in joining our guard team?"

If their guard team had an A-level fire-type mutant, their strength would definitely be greatly improved.

Jiang Ning corrected him: "I am not a fire-type mutant. My ability is plant-type. And the mutant tree is not completely dead. I just burned the trunk part, and most of the roots are still alive."

Jiang Ning paused for a moment, raised his head and asked: "Excuse me, how much salary can I get if I join your guard team?"

The captain of the single soldier was petrified for a moment. What did he hear?

Plant-type ability?

The captain of the single soldier scanned the faces of the three people one by one, as if to confirm whether the three people were working together to deceive him.

Maybe it was just a coincidence.

The captain of the single soldier comforted himself in his heart.

He smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "The appearance of an underground oasis in the contaminated area is indeed a big deal. I need to report it to my superiors and wait for instructions before taking action."

"Madam, please leave a contact number. We may continue to consult you about the details of the underground oasis." The captain of the single soldier also changed his address to Jiang Ning from "little sister" to the more formal "Madam".

Jiang Ning readily left the Star Brain phone number.

The single soldier team safely sent people all the way to the city and then left.

Several people sent Ji Fan to the nearest hospital, and Li Xiang also contacted his parents.

Ji's father and mother rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible. When they saw Ji Fan lying in the treatment chamber with a pale face, they burst into tears.

They were relatively calm and did not blame Jiang Ning and his group unreasonably. Instead, they were sad in secret.

Ji's mother leaned on Ji's father's arms: "Shouldn't I have forced my child to go to some deserted area by himself? Now it's like this."

Ji Fan regained consciousness not long after he lay in the treatment chamber. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was his parents hugging each other and crying so sadly.

Ji Fan: "..."

How come his parents cried like he was dead?

The doctor said awkwardly: "Parents, the patient inside just fainted because of anemia. A blood transfusion will be fine."

Li Xiang had already treated Ji Fan badly, so the hospital's equipment could only detect any wounds on his body, and finally concluded that Ji Fan was anemic.

"..." Ji's father and mother froze, and their crying stopped abruptly.

Li Xiang called them to tell them that Ji Fan was seriously injured in the no-man's land, and they thought...

After a long fuss, it turned out that he was just anemic.
