Chapter 3: The Man with the Story
The helicopter soon hovered over a forest outside the camp.
It happened to be Gu Xi outside the camp just now and noticed something abnormal.
Gu Xi lowered his eyes and forcibly transformed the energy he had just plundered from those mutated plants in the wild into a spiritual ability.
Then he quietly extended his spiritual power in the direction of the outside of the camp.
At the same time, the helicopter, hovering in mid-air, opened the hatch.
A team of men in black combat uniforms, holding energy guns in one hand and grasping the helicopter's sagging soft rope in the other, rappelled and landed at a very fast speed.
Gu Xi was very interested in the energy gun in their hands, and was about to concentrate on taking a closer look, when the person who finally jumped out of the helicopter had just landed with straight legs and military boots, and suddenly looked up in the direction of the camp.
Gu Xi only saw a pair of sharp and cold deep eyes, and there was a tingling in his brain.
She immediately cut off the mental power she was exerting, and her face instantly turned extremely pale.
Was it discovered?
Sure enough, her abilities are still too weak now.
The thumb of his left hand subconsciously pressed down the phalanx of his index finger, and just as Gu Xi was thinking, Wei Heng on the side was finally able to breathe evenly after wheezing violently for most of the day.
"Gu Xi? What happened to you? Wei Heng stood up, seeing that Gu Xi's face was extremely pale, thinking that it was the first time she had seen such a formation and was frightened, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Gu Xi raised his eyes to look at the man with a pale face and a nervous expression, raised his hand and pointed to the helicopter hovering in the distance, and asked slowly, "...... Is that? ”
Something flashed through her mind just after seeing the familiar sign.
Gu Xi wanted to be sure of one thing.
Wei Heng half leaned against the wall, gasping slightly, and looked up at her point: "That's the helicopter of the Central Base Ability Research Institute, but it should be the military's ability special service team......"
Speaking of this, Wei Heng reacted suddenly: "...... Grass! ”
The place they were in now was still 1,200 miles away from the Nancheng base, and 108,000 miles away from the central base, so how could the helicopters from the central base rush over so quickly?
Wrong!
Seeing that Gu Xi hadn't reacted yet, Wei Heng simply grabbed her arm: "Go!" Go out and have a look. ”
"Where?" Gu Xi followed his strength, and as soon as he took a step, the whole person softened and fell weakly in the direction of Wei Heng.
"Gu Xi?!" Wei Heng hurriedly grabbed most of her body, his brows furrowed, "Your body is too weak, I'll send you to the infirmary first......"
Gu Xi: "......"
The reason why she is weak and unable to use her strength now is because the sequelae of the ability being forcibly cut off have attacked.
At the end of the day, she's too weak now.
If it was once upon a time......
Gu Xi lowered his eyes, habitually pressed the phalanx of his left hand with his thumb, and was half-dragged and half-dragged by Wei Heng to the medical room in silence.
Before entering the door, she seemed to feel something, and suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the helicopter.
The next moment, Gu Xi's face changed suddenly.
In the distance, under the helicopter, an unusually tall and thick mutant plant suddenly sprang out from the ground, with long black-green stems carrying sharp green leaves in mid-air, like a long whip with thorns, and whipped hard towards the helicopter in mid-air.
At the same time, several blinding white lights came from all directions, attacking the mutated plants.
Is it an ability bomb?
But it's a little different from the ability bomb in her memory.
The unusually terrifying-looking mutated plant quickly stopped moving after being shot.
Gu Xi looked at the "corpse" of the giant plant from a distance, and frowned slightly: Didn't you say that today's mutant plants are no longer aggressive? So how......
Wei Heng on the side also saw this terrifying scene, and clenched his fists with both hands.
In the next second, he made a quick decision, pulled Gu Xi into the door of the medical room in front, and while turning around to close the door of the medical room, he also quickly opened the energy shield of the medical room.
In the medical room, Ye Lin was worried about the imminent exhaustion of energy in the camp, and she was so anxious that her forehead was sweating, and suddenly she heard the mechanical sound of the energy shield being activated, and she was about to have a seizure when she got up.
As a result, as soon as I looked up, I saw that the little girl who had just left her in the morning was sent back weakly and half-dragged and half-shelf, and her face suddenly darkened.
"What's going on?" With a cold face, she instructed Wei Heng to send the pale and weak Gu Xi to the treatment table, while launching medical emergencies.
Wei Heng glanced at Ye Lin and whispered what was happening outside at a very fast speed.
At the end, he gasped and said more: "Gu Xi, she, she was not in good health, but now she is probably scared again......"
For the first time in my life, I was regarded as a fake weak girl who was delicate and frail and needed care. The real apocalyptic boss Gu Xi: "......"
She wasn't really intimidated.
Nor is it weak to this extent.
But in order not to cause trouble to others, Gu Xi still cooperated to complete this inspection.
While waiting for the results of the inspection to come out, Gu Xi asked Wei Heng in a low voice, "Just now...... What's going on? "Doesn't it mean that the current mutant plants are not aggressive?
"It's a malignant change." Wei Heng recalled the scene he had just seen, and his eyes sank a little.
He rubbed his messy hair, suppressed his irritation, and glanced up at the helicopter in the distance.
Below the helicopter, the unusually fierce and tall mutant plant just now had disappeared, and Wei Heng's eyes became extremely complicated in an instant.
But after only a moment, he returned to normal, turned around and walked to Gu Xi's side and sat down, lowered his voice, and said quickly in a tone that was almost gritting his teeth:
"It is well known that since the twenty-ninth year of the last century, when the second large-scale mutation of plants occurred, they have ceased to be aggressive......"
"But in the past six months, there have been several incidents of malignant transformation and injury of alien plants across the country, and those heterogeneous transformations have once again possessed powerful aggressive ......"
"But the guys from the Central Base Abnormal Energy Research Institute deliberately concealed the news from the people......"
Gu Xi was thoughtful.
Nowadays, the whole country is vigorously developing agricultural production, encouraging everyone to go out of the safe base, actively open up wasteland for farming, and solve the food crisis.
At that time, those who have finally made up their minds to go out of the base to open up the wasteland and farm will probably retreat back to the safety base in an instant.
With the entire country facing a severe food crisis, the Institute of Extraordinary Energy tried its best to suppress the news and hide it from the people, although it was a bit cruel, but it was not incomprehensible.
It's just that...... Once the malignant transformation of Xenophytes begins, can this matter really be concealed forever?
And then there's ......
"Since the news has been suppressed from above, how do you know?" Gu Xi raised his head and asked Wei Heng.
Wei Heng lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, his eyes a little lonely.
If he had encountered such a situation half a year ago, he would definitely rush to the front line without hesitation...... Instead of being like now, I can only run away with a little girl powerlessly.
Wei Heng closed his eyes, and when he looked up at Gu Xi again, he smiled and said, "That's because I have someone above me." I'm telling you, this is top-secret information, you know it in your heart, but you must not tell anyone else......"
"I think the camp will let us know in a moment to sign a non-disclosure agreement." He winked at Gu Xi.
Gu Xi glanced at him, smiled noncommittally, and didn't speak.
His gaze fell on the exposed piece of skin on his wrist, and he paused for a subtle second.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people will most likely get goosebumps and even stand upside down under extreme fear when they see the terrifying scene just now.
But Wei Heng didn't.
Even though he looked pale and his steps were weak...... Too weak to do it.
Gu Xi lowered his eyes.
It seems that this is also a man with a story.
