After swallowing the energy bar in his hand in two or three bites, Chen Lang spoke.

"Tsk, then find a way to make some movement and let the people outside find out!" Red Lotus snorted nonchalantly.

Although she is not a delicate little girl, the 'camping' experience last night still made her feel quite unhappy.

Seeing that his boss was displeased, Chen Lang didn't dare to say more, and beckoned to Shan Peng on the ground.

"Go get some flammable materials and make a wolf fireworks, Li Ming, you try again, can you restore the communication ......"

"Yes, Captain."

Shan Peng and Li Ming responded, and they were busy.

Chen Lang briefly moved his sore arm, ready to take over Shan Peng's vigilance task.

However, before he could leave the team, Lu Yu, who had been looking at the center of the lake in a daze, suddenly turned around and walked towards him with a strong purpose.

The stone slides across the ground, leaving a line of text.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry. ”

Looking at the words on the ground for a while, Chen Lang's face turned dark, and he reluctantly took out the energy bag in his arms.

After taking the energy bar, the young man's poker face immediately showed a smile, gave Chen Lang a thumbs up, immediately turned around, and sat down cross-legged on the shore of the lake.

"His uncle, he really thinks he's here to camp......"

Chen Lang shook his head helplessly, and secretly scolded in his heart.

He had actually been keeping an eye on Lu Yu last night, for fear that this strange young man would cause trouble for the team.

However, to Chen Lang's surprise, Lu Yu was very honest all night, and he looked like a lost traveler who had found the organization, and he was relieved all over his body.

If Shan Peng hadn't recognized the name on Lu Yu's clothes and repeatedly confirmed that the other party was a researcher at Research Station 7, Chen Lang would have even believed that the young man was a member of the T organization.

It stands to reason that such a major discovery should be reported to Red Lotus immediately.

However, Chen Lang thought about it and planned to suppress the matter first.

After all, the stakes are high, and Shan Peng's news was only bought from the fleeing Assassin Squad, and its authenticity remains to be verified.

If you don't see clearly when you stab those deflated calves and escape, there are still members of the Tissue alive in Research Station 7, it will be a lot of fun.

After experiencing the loss of personnel in the Overlord Butterfly, the idea of not seeking merit but seeking no fault has penetrated into Chen Lang's heart.

As the boss of the greedy wolf squad, he didn't want his subordinates to lose their lives in vain.

Taking his eyes off Lu Yu, Chen Lang strode forward, preparing to go to the high place on the other side of the camp to take a look at the surrounding situation.

However, at this time, the quiet giant tree in the center of the lake made a new move.

Thousands of hanging gray and white rattans shook in unison, like thousands of awakened poisonous snakes, slowly lifting towards the east of Broken Bridge Lake.

Although the location of Chen Lang and the others was on the shore of the lake, it was not affected because the direction was southwest and the location was far away.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds and pierced through the mist, gilding the surface of the lake with a golden glow.

The rattan stretches out, as if it wants to bask in the sun.

However, the distribution position is fixed, and the length is limited, and it has been elongated for half a day, and only a small part of it has been fulfilled.

Before the rattans had been basking in the sun for long enough to cover the entire surface of the lake, the canopy suddenly shook and rattled.

A thick mist as thick as a white liquid seeps out of the palm-sized leaves and spreads rapidly through the air.

The fog obscured the already small amount of sunlight, and the lake was once again cold and gloomy.

Looking at everything that was happening in front of them, several people on the shore fell silent.

"Obviously we have no intention of leaving, why did the mutated creatures in the middle of the lake move again?"

Honglian's thinking is relatively simple, just subconsciously using what she sees as the basis for speculation, and does not think carefully about the hidden logic behind it.

Swapping the gun behind his back into his hand, Chen Lang looked up at the canopy diagonally above and muttered.

"Phototaxis, the reason why those rattans are restless may be because of the sun, Lord Red Lotus, you see, the direction of the previous lift is also facing the east......"

Hearing Chen Lang say this, Honglian's face turned slightly red, and she immediately said hard.

"Of course I know what you're saying, but I'm just curious that this thing needs sunlight, but at the same time it emits fog to block out the sunlight, isn't that a contradiction......"

As she spoke, the woman also pointed to the rapidly sinking fog.

Chen Lang frowned, didn't answer again, but turned around and shouted at Li Ming.

"Can you analyze the composition of the fog?"

"I'll try, Captain."

Li Ming made an 'ok' gesture at Chen Lang, and at the same time quickly took out the laptop in his bag, his fingertips dancing rapidly.

After thinking for a while, Chen Lang immediately turned his head and shouted at Shan Peng, who had already walked away.

"Shan Peng, you wait and go, this fog is weird."

In the face of Chen Lang's shouting, Shan Peng was full of disapproval.

"Captain, it's just a little fog, isn't it a thick fog when we came, I guess it's the characteristics of the mutated creature in the center of the lake......"

As he spoke, the sniper continued to walk, apparently intending to find some burning materials in a nearby flower bed.

Chen Lang's brows furrowed, and he wanted to say something more, but Shan Peng waved his hand and accelerated towards the distance.

"I'll go to the flower bed over there and break some bushes, and I'll be back soon, don't worry, captain!"

"This kid ......"

Chen Lang muttered, seeing that the other party really didn't mean to come back, he gave up.

After all, the signal still has to be sent, otherwise their bitterness last night would have been in vain.

Just as Chen Lang was about to exchange a few more words with Honglian, Li Ming behind him suddenly spoke, with a little relaxation in his tone.

"Captain, the results of the analysis are out, it's just ordinary water mist, the same composition as yesterday's daytime."

"Just ordinary water mist? No other ingredients? ”

Chen Lang asked uneasily.

"yes, uh, maybe there's a secondary virus in it, but it shouldn't be a problem for us."

Li Ming stared at the computer screen for a while and added.

Chen Lang nodded, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground slightly.

If it's just a simple water mist, then the sky will also obstruct the view of a bad thing.

It seems that everything is really as Shan Peng said, and the anomaly on the Broken Bridge Lake should only be caused by the biological characteristics of the giant tree.

With the help of water mist, it also sounds quite reasonable to provide a more ideal transmission environment for the spread of secondary viruses.

After a short time, Shan Peng, who had left, ran back with a large handful of dry or wet branches in his arms.

"Done, captain, I'll just say that this fog is nothing, it's just a biological ......" Choosing an open space, Shan Peng said with a clattering mouth while stacking the things in his arms on the ground.

He took out his igniter and operated it with his hands and feet, and the pyre burst into flames.

Since some of the branches had just been broken off and were still carrying moisture, the flames burned for a while before billowing smoke began to emerge.

Although the color is similar to the thick white mist, the fire is still very conspicuous from a distance.

Looking at Shan Peng, who was busy with work, the corners of Honglian's mouth hooked up and chuckled.

"Chen Lang, your subordinates are quite neat, but it's a pity that they have a long mouth......"

Hearing this, Chen Lang was stunned at first, and then explained with a smile.

"That...... Lord Red Lotus, Shan Peng, he usually talks more, if he performs an exclusive mission, his performance is still very eye-catching, and he was ...... on the outskirts of Cross Harbor at that time."

"Okay, I'm not going to do anything to him, you don't need to be so scared."

Red Lotus's arm raised, interrupting Chen Lang's explanation lightly.

"After the smoke column is formed, let's put a signal flare, and the people who came to investigate and respond should almost arrive......"

"Yes, Lord Red Lotus." Chen Lang nodded, took out the flare gun from his backpack, and walked towards the higher ground behind him.

Because the top of the Broken Bridge Lake is blocked by a canopy, in order for the signal flare to fly out normally, Chen Lang deliberately chose a position with sparse branches and shot with a gun.

With a bang, the flare flashing red flew straight into the sky, quickly heading towards the gap.

But just as the signal flare was about to fly out of the gap in the canopy, there was a sudden swishing sound in the air, and dozens of gray and white rattans suddenly rushed out, all of them intercepting the signal flares!

Although the flare does not fly slowly, it cannot hold the large number of rattans.

In the blink of an eye, the flare was really knocked back and slanted into the water.

"Holy!

”

Shan Peng and Li Ming burst into foul language at the same time, while Honglian and Lu Yu frowned tightly.

"This ......"

Chen Lang, who launched the signal flare, was already stupid, no matter how he thought about it, he never thought that this mutant creature in the shape of a giant tree would be able to intercept even the signal flare.

Thanks to him, he also specially picked a place with a vacant canopy to launch, but he still couldn't hit it.

"It's okay, we still have a smoke column ......"

Retracting her gaze from the restless rattan, Red Lotus spoke as if comforting herself.

However, before the woman's voice landed, a new change came from the top of everyone's heads.

I saw that the rattans that had intercepted the signal flares were twisting more and more violently, and the blades collided and rubbed, making a rustling sound.

It was as if something was hiding in the canopy, desperately trying to escape.

"Looks like something is going to fall......"

Shan Peng, who had the best eyes, opened his mouth, and in the next second, there were really a few black shadows falling out of the canopy, and they fell to the ground at a fast speed!

"Get out of the way!"

The red lotus shouted a warning, and at the same time, the light particles around her body burst out, and her steps retreated.

Li Ming and Shan Peng's reaction was not slow, and they retreated one after another, away from the landing point in advance.

And Chen Lang was already in the outer circle, and when he saw something falling, he was just nervous, so naturally he didn't need to avoid it.

The only one who didn't move was Lu Yu on the shore.

The young man raised his head at some point, and was looking at the rapidly approaching black shadow above with horror......
