"Is the S-level mutated plant here a mushroom?" Zhao Gang suddenly asked.
Mo Shigui, who was still pondering his words "we're not familiar with each other," was taken aback. After a couple of seconds, he nodded in surprise, "How did you know?"
Because all electronic devices become ineffective in Jiangcheng, and the entire city is now completely covered by mutated plants, even if someone passes by Jiangcheng, they cannot enter.
The situation inside Jiangcheng is currently known only to the base's high-ranking officials.
He only managed to extract information about the existence of that S-level mutated mushroom from Commander Wei recently after the city-capturing plan was announced.
How could Zhao Gang, an ordinary evolved human, know this?
“I’ve seen it before.” As soon as Zhao Gang saw Mo Shigui’s expression, he knew that this Jiangcheng was the forest city he and the cub had encountered on their way to Taoyuan Base.
"You've seen it?!" Mo Shigui's voice changed in surprise.
Seeing that Zhao Gang did not deny it and even pointed out the location of the mutated mushroom on the map, Mo Shigui couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Don't tell me you went in there."
That place is a breeding ground for mutated plants, especially that cluster of S-grade mutated umbrella mushrooms. Not only do they interfere with electronic devices, but they also release mind-altering scents that control prey to run towards them and become their nutrients.
The base's warriors have died one after another because of this umbrella mushroom. Currently, only those who have evolved in the direction of spiritual evolution have a chance to break free and escape.
If Zhao Gang had ever been inside, he would never have come out alive.
But Zhao Gang nodded and gave him a strange look, not understanding what was so shocking about it.
He glanced at the map of Jiangcheng on the computer screen again, and already had a clear idea of what was going on.
Thinking of that cluster of purplish-blue mutated umbrella mushrooms, Zhao Gang secretly swallowed. He was really hungry; he even craved such lowly creatures.
With a human touch, Zhao Gang patted his belly, eagerly anticipating tomorrow's arrival.
"See you at five tomorrow morning." With those words, Zhao Gang got up and went home.
Mo Shigui was left standing there with a solemn expression, debating whether or not to call Commander Wei and report that Zhao Gang had seen the S-level mutated plant.
In the end, he didn't pick up the phone.
The investigation team arrived to hand over the investigation tasks and inform him of the latest progress.
"The survivors who previously lived in the shantytowns on the outskirts of the base established an alliance called Green Field in the desolate city near our planting area."
The investigation team members said with grave expressions, "Moreover, we have their spies in all three of our planting areas, and the lords' safety is in great danger."
I took a special look at Mo Shigui, the station chief of Zone B. His zone had caught a large number of floating fish before, and now everyone knows that his zone is the richest and has the most abundant supplies.
Mo Shigui rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Investigation team: "You, the station manager, should step aside for now and come back after we have investigated the matter thoroughly."
What else could Mo Shigui say?
Even he started to suspect it.
It just so happens that Jiangcheng needs to mobilize manpower, so we might as well avoid it.
While sorting through the documents, Mo Shigui discovered that Zhao Gang was the only person in the entire B area who had signed up for the recruitment.
Well, a bunch of capable guys who don't want to contribute, we can't count on them for anything.
Mo Shigui has no other desires now, he only hopes that the lords under his command will work hard next spring to properly cultivate these lands.
Meanwhile, Zhao Gang returned home from the station and began packing the things he needed to take tomorrow.
He didn't have much to prepare for himself; the main concern was Zhao Xiaoxiu's food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.
The weather is getting cold, and missions will take at least three to five days to complete, so I need to prepare two sets of warm clothes to bring with me.
I don't know if there's a place to sleep, so I'll just borrow Sheng Qingyang's sleeping bag.
Sheng Qingyang: "Can't you just buy one?"
"The supply depot isn't this good," Zhao Gang said earnestly. "Thank you, I'll return it to you when I get back. You can come stay at my house while we're away."
Considering that this house was cleaner and more spacious than his own, and even had a kitchen and bathroom, Sheng Qingyang forced a smile:
"Okay, just don't break it. My sleeping bag is extra thick; it can withstand temperatures as low as minus thirty degrees Celsius."
The father and daughter grinned and bowed gratefully to her.
Sheng Qingyang pointed helplessly to the bedroom upstairs, "Is it okay if I sleep in this bed for a few days?"
Without a sleeping bag, a bed, or a blanket, she wasn't going to do a losing proposition.
Fortunately, the father and daughter were sensible enough to say that she could sleep in the bedroom while they were away.
With the sleeping problem solved, Zhao Gang then began to worry about feeding the cubs.
The cub needs to eat every day; we can't let her go hungry. We also need to prepare nutrient solutions.
Also, the water bottle needs to be filled up so that you won't be thirsty on the road and can't find water to drink.
Finally, there's the cub's personal weapon.
Zhao Gang threw aside the machete he had been using and chose the axe made of special materials instead.
To avoid accidentally injuring the cub, I carefully wrapped it in burlap and made a scabbard that it could carry on its back. I inserted the axe into the scabbard and carried it steadily on my back. The height was just a little above the cub's calves, so it wouldn't hinder its walking.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was very satisfied with the new back accessory. As soon as it was finished, she put the scabbard on her shoulder and ran up and down the stairs twice with the axe on her back.
"Dad," Zhao Xiaoxiu waved for her father to squat down, then gave him a big kiss on the cheek. "It works great! I love it! Hehe~"
Zhao Gang chuckled. If it weren't for Sheng Qingyang, a guest in the living room, his eyes would have popped out of their sockets again.
With everything tidied up, the father and daughter went to bed early, filled with anticipation for tomorrow.
