Chapter 15: Seeds

Wang Jin, a senior at Duyan University, was assigned to Ge Zheng's mentor in the final lottery last semester, and the associate professor guided him through his graduation project and thesis.

In February, Wang Jin, who was worried about the topic selection, saw a message from his supervisor in the group, saying that he was going to participate in a research project of the federal government, and interested students could go with him.

Seeing this news, Wang Jin's eyes lit up, the federal government's research project, so just take out a few small achievements and small data, and the most important thing in a paper is not there? It's still the real thing, and it's still a forced qualification!

Such a good opportunity, Wang Jin naturally would not miss it, and several other friends in the group also signed up, so there was this outing.

When they arrived at their destination by plane, they were full of curiosity about the isolation shed in front of them.

"It must be a mutant plant, it seems to be very large!" Wang Jin's roommate Xue Shaoqian took out his mobile phone and took pictures of all these things.

Other students almost did the same thing, and some ran over to take a photo with the staff.

Unlike his roommates and classmates, Wang Jin found a problem.

There are too few people!

And they are all civilian personnel, none of them have guns, and then look at the expressions of the two graduate students and their supervisors, they don't care very much about the greenhouse, which means that this research project is probably not a key project!

While pondering, an uncle who looked mature and steady came out of the makeshift tent. Uncle and Ge Zheng began to talk and introduced themselves to each other, and Wang Jin guessed that this person should be the person in charge here.

"Okay, come with me!" The uncle in charge beckoned to them.

Seeing this, Wang Jin was disappointed.

"Xue Shaoqian and they took pictures everywhere, but the captain surnamed Zhou didn't pay attention to it at all, if it was an important project, there must be a confidentiality measure, and they wouldn't let outsiders take pictures around so casually!"

"Combined with other points, this is really not an important project, and yes, it is impossible for a group of half-baked students to do a key project!"

"Forget it, just take a long view, get a few sets of data to write a paper when the time comes, and find a place to prepare for an internship next semester to ......"

Wang Jin had his own little abacus in his heart.

Under the leadership of Captain Zhou, Wang Jin put on protective clothing, and it was the first time he wore this kind of high-end thing, which made him feel very fresh.

And the moment he walked into the isolation cover, Wang Jin was shocked.

The stench of yak carcasses on the ground was stinking, flies were flying, and maggots were wriggling on the blurred flesh. In front of the yak carcass was a wall of thorns that had been broken through several openings. Further inside, there were more yak carcasses, as well as a few strange-looking plants, and a pile of dead rat carcasses.

The two girls in the team screamed there again and again, and then Captain Zhou said something that made Wang Jin feel even more shocked. The plants they see are actually the same plant! Whether it's a thorn wall or a strange plant with eyeballs, they all have the same root system, and they are one!

"Is this it, a mutant plant?" Wang Jin swallowed, "I don't know if I will have a chance to follow the change in the future." Deviants can go to the Dongdu Deviant School to continue their studies, and it is likely that they will be assigned a package after graduation in the future, and the treatment should not be bad......"

Wang Jin was thinking about it again.

"Remember, these plants are all poisonous and there is no antidote at the moment, so be careful!" Zhou Qing warned sharply, although he was covered by protective clothing, he was afraid that some guy would make a dead end.

Several students were shocked when they heard this.

Next, Zhou Qing gave a general explanation of the whole situation, Wang Jin felt a little sorry after hearing it, no wonder it was so neglected here, it turned out that the main plant was poached by a pig.

Of course, Wang Jin also understood that if it weren't for this, it would not be their turn to deal with the plants on the site.

At the beginning of the work, the first task of Ge Zheng's team was to figure out what plant it was, what it was called, and which subject it belonged to. The second is to extract the venom, study the toxicity, and estimate whether the ramets will develop into the main plant again.

And these have nothing to do with Wang Jin and others, the purpose of their coming here is to work as coolies!

Find suitable rhizomes and leaves to send to a makeshift laboratory, and if necessary, run errands to the town to buy things......

", if I knew this was the end, I wouldn't have come!" Xue Shaoqian complained that he and Wang Jin were assigned to the worst batch of cattle carcasses in isolation sheds, with uncleaned cattle carcasses.

"The mentor said that there were too few rhizomes just now, so get a few more!" The girl outside spoke.

Xue Shaoqian shook his head, began to dig the ground, and after a simple treatment of the rhizome, handed it to the female classmate at the door. After doing this, he found Wang Jin staring at the ground, so he went over and asked; "What's wrong? What did you find? ”

"Look at this mark here!" Wang Jin made a circle at the mouth of the cave, "This place used to be a cow lying down!" But it's gone! ”

Xue Shaoqian looked at it carefully, "How about that?" Maybe it's been cleaned up, right? ”

"No, not cleaned up, but specially removed! It's like when you clean up a warehouse, you don't start from the outermost part and clean it in, but step on a pile of clutter and go to the innermost part and clean it from the inside out, which obviously doesn't make sense! ”

Wang Jin explained, "Unless there is a very valuable item in the innermost part of the warehouse, ordinary people will not have such strange thinking!" ”

Xue Shaoqian was stunned when he heard this, "So the cow carcass and those ...... put here Not the same? ”

Wang Jin nodded, and continued: "And you see the cow corpse in the cave, the time of death is obviously different from the batch outside, the most important thing is that this cow corpse is actually very well preserved, and there is no sign of corruption at all!" ”

Xue Shaoqian swallowed, "And then?" ”

"I guess the cow in the cave died of poisoning, and the same is true of the one at the door, but the poison in them is not the poison on these plants now, but a more intense, highly toxic with antiseptic effect!" Wang Jin said, turning his head, "But I don't have any evidence, and I haven't figured out why the cows outside the cave were moved, but the other in the cave was not." ”

This question is actually very simple, because there is no cow blood poison on the cow corpse in the cave, and there are some cow blood poison left on the head outside the cave that Xie Yan forgot to recover!

Therefore, there is no value in continuing to study the dried cow carcass in the cave, while the one outside the cave has. In addition, this place has not been taken seriously by the top, which has caused this cow corpse to be kept by mistake.

"Why don't we go in and have a look." Xue Shaoqian's curiosity was aroused, besides, the cave was not explicitly sealed, and the stinger at the entrance of the cave had been shaved clean, so there was no danger.

Wang Jin nodded, and the two walked into the cave and squatted next to the cow's dried corpse.

Wang Jin examined the injured cow's hooves, and then circled the cow's corpse.

"How?" Xue Shaoqian asked.

"It's pretty much what I thought...... Let's take a hand, turn it over and I'll take a look! Wang Jin said, working hard with Xue Shaoqian, wanting to turn the cow over, however, the cow's body was obviously hooked by something, and it was difficult to turn over!

Wang Jin leaned over and exclaimed, "! ”

"What's wrong?" Xue Shaoqian leaned over, and then reacted as well.

Because under this head, there is actually a handful of rhizomes attached!

"Do you want to report it?" Xue Shaoqian felt that this was no longer something they could manage, so he hurriedly asked the mentor and Captain Zhou to come over and take a look.

"No, they should have checked the cow's condition a long time ago, let's just study ours!" Wang Jin shook his head and refused, and stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the knife!" ”

"What are you going to do?" Xue Shaoqian was stunned.

"The cow has four stomachs and doesn't digest things that fast, so I want to see what it eats in front of it!" Wang Jin said, took the knife handed over by Xue Shaoqian, cut open the belly of the cow, dug out the largest rumen, and cut it open.

It's long since dried up, and it doesn't smell too much.

Wang Jin asked Xue Shaoqian to break his stomach a little, and he put his hand in it and rummaged through it. A handful of hay was pulled out of the cow's stomach, and there was a fist-sized shriveled fruit that was not fully chewed.

At the moment when he saw the fruit, Wang Jin had a premonition that this was probably the culprit who poisoned the yak!

"Could this be the fruit of this mutant plant?" Wang Jin thought of this, dug open the fruit, and found an almond-sized seed hidden inside!
