It was raining outside, and Sese and Lin Yu stayed in the camp. Finally, five days later, Lu Xucheng's soldiers finally found the source of the signal.
"I'll go too!" Sese grabbed Lu Xucheng's sleeve.
Lu Xucheng touched her face: "Don't you feel uncomfortable anymore?"
"It's over."
As soon as her aunt left, she became a lively cub again!
Lu Xucheng thought for a while, but he didn't feel comfortable leaving the person behind: "Okay."
This is a canyon growing with emerald green vines. Looking from a distance, the emerald green is as crystal clear as fine jade, like nature's most perfect work of art.
The sun slants down from the sky above and shines on the climbing vines. The dark green veins in the palm-sized leaves are clearly visible. Under the sun, there is a faint dark red liquid like blood flowing in the veins.
The canyon-shaped surrounding area is about thirty meters high and more than twenty meters wide. From the ground up, the width becomes smaller and smaller. Even if a person stands in it, it looks quite big, but the space here is too small and it is not Suitable for mecha combat. As for collectors who collect exotic plants, many people know that mechas are too lethal. If you want to preserve the integrity and efficacy of exotic plants, it is best not to use high-tech tools when collecting them. arms.
Sese collected a lot of medicinal herbs while walking. Looking around, this area is full of vines, growing densely. They are climbing on the ground, climbing on the walls, and hanging in the air. They are full of emerald green, which is quite eye-catching. It is even more crystal clear under the sun, just like the most beautiful landscape gifted to mankind by nature.
What makes Sese feel strange is that no matter how she uses her mental power to seduce, these vines ignore her.
"Maybe they like girls!" Lin Yu whispered.
Sese ignored him and continued to communicate with the vines. She wanted to help Lu Xucheng and let these vines give them some clues. But when she reached the end of the canyon, the vines still didn't respond to her.
"It's useless." Sese was a little frustrated.
Lu Xucheng squeezed her hand and ordered Barton: "Let's start!"
Barton gave an order, and the soldiers began to clear the vines. Almost at the same time, all the vines seemed to suddenly come alive. They suddenly started to move, walking across the ground like snake shadows, attacking them with claws and teeth. The whole world changed from static to dynamic.
"Fuck!" Lin Yu was startled, raised his gun and shot.
Lu Xucheng held Sesu in his arms: "Attack them and clear a path."
Sese desperately mobilized her mental power to stop these vines and not to die. But the vine still didn't respond to her, as if it couldn't feel her spiritual power at all.
Just like this, it continued all the way, and there was still a continuous attack. The vision was full of such green and vivid colors, and the eyes were almost numb.
Suddenly there was a scream, and a soldier's hands were dripping with blood. He shouted with a pale face: "This kind of vine sucks blood, and the blood can make the color of their leaf veins darker." He quickly swallowed an antidote pill. , pointing at a vine in mid-air that was snarling at him.
Others took the time to look over and found that the dark red veins on its leaves had indeed become redder.
This made everyone feel trembling and became more cautious.
"Uncle Lu, over there!"
Lu Xucheng cut off several vines with his backhand.
The exotic plants grew so densely that they covered the ground and mountain walls. But now, in order to deal with these intruders, Yi Zhi began to move. In the gap where the alien plants were waving, you could vaguely see a cave hidden in the mountain wall next to it. The cave was originally densely blocked by the alien plants climbing along the mountain wall. As long as these alien plants did not move, it would be impossible for them to move. Even if there are traces, there is no way to discover them. Now, because of the alien plant attack, they kept moving forward, and traces were revealed.
Lu Xucheng's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "Go over there!"
Everyone went to the place where the alien plants grew most densely.
But I don't know if Yi Zhi knew that this person was difficult to deal with, or if some mechanism was triggered, those vines suddenly attacked Sesu like crazy.
Surrounded by such an overwhelming vine attack, Se Se closed her eyes in fear. Lu Xucheng tightly protected her in his arms, but a vine secretly wrapped around Se Se's legs and dragged her out of Lu Xucheng's arms while no one was paying attention. out.
Lu Xucheng's expression changed, and he didn't care about anything else. He rushed towards Sese and grabbed her hand in time. The crazy vines instantly dragged the two of them underground. The densely growing vines on the ground moved away, revealing a dark The entrance of the cave dragged the two of them down together.
"commander!"
The pitch-black passage led to the ground, stretching vertically downwards, and the rapid sound of wind sounded in their ears.
When she fell into the hole in the ground, the mutated vines that bound Sese let go of her. Afterwards, Lu Xucheng also shook off the restraints of the vines, but automatically jumped into the hole, grabbed her hand, and hugged her directly into his arms as he fell.
Lu Xucheng put his arm around her waist and protected her as best he could. The wind that jumped up from the ground was cold and cold, and I didn't know where this passage led to, how deep it was, or what would be below. Thinking in his mind, he pressed her face to his chest to prevent the cold wind from underground from scratching her face.
When they fell, they found that the exit above had been tightly sealed by alien plants. Their purpose this time was to explore the anomalies here, so they used their trick and fell directly.
They didn't know how long it had been before they heard the sound of water amidst the sound of the wind.
It is an underground river unique to Qilazhou Star!
Lu Xucheng understood that he would soon reach the end. His eyes narrowed slightly, he took out a round box from the space button, pressed the button on it, and with a whoosh, a steel cable shot towards the wall. The front end of the steel cable was A drill bit glowing with cold metal penetrated deeply into the mountain wall.
Compared with the soft soil above, the soil seemed to have changed when it reached the bottom, becoming as hard as stone. After the drill bit penetrated into the mountain wall, the steel cable was pulled, and the two people's fall slowed down.
They finally fell to the ground together. Fortunately, the underground river moistened the river bed and the ground was soft. Lu Xucheng immediately checked Sesu to make sure she was not injured.
"It's okay." Sese helped him stand up.
But the temperature underground is so low, it's like suddenly arriving at the Antarctic glacier. Even though she was wearing a special combat uniform, she still felt that her naked face and hands were frozen.
"Where is this, Uncle Lu?" He shivered coldly and looked around.
"The underground of the alien forest." Lu Xucheng explained: "Ninety percent of the Qilazhou planet is forest, and the remaining 10% is other landforms. In order to provide such a huge forest with enough space for all alien plants to survive, Water resources have formed a huge reservoir underground, with countless underground rivers, underground lakes, and underground ocean currents. However, because there are many types of exotic plants on Strange Planet, they all rely on water and soil to survive, and all the soil is occupied by exotic plants. Humans tried to develop the underground, but gave up the idea after discovering that they were attacked by alien plants."
Of course, humans will give up exploring the secrets of Strange Planet because they want to protect the original ecological environment of this planet. The strange star is a treasure trove of mankind. Each exotic plant has different medicinal effects. Almost the entire federation's pharmaceutical manufacturing materials are taken from here. The federation has also issued a decree to strictly prohibit humans from destroying the ecological environment here.
Sese blinked, "So we are lucky to be here now?"
"Um."
Lu Xucheng responded, opening the space and twisting it, taking out a set of cold-proof clothes for Sesu to put on, and then took out lighting tools.
This is a small, circular aircraft that flies above people's heads and lights the way ahead. In addition, Lu Xucheng took out the analyzer and began to analyze the terrain here.
"Is it still cold?" Lu Xucheng held Sese in his arms like a child.
Sese held the analyzer and shook his head: "It's much better, at least it's bearable."
Lu Xucheng frowned. These were the clothes they wore when they went to the bottom of the sea to explore Atlantis. They were fine at the time, but now they can still feel the cold.
His physique is completely insensible, so he cannot judge the temperature, but one thing is certain, this environment is very unsuitable for Thurse.
"Let's go along the river first." Lu Xucheng decided that if he found a place where communication was possible, Barton and the others could find him.
They followed the river, and slowly, the river bed became wider and wider. It looked like a large river on land. The river bed was very wide and the current was very fast. She could feel a cold feeling rushing towards her face, and her hands and feet began to feel cold again.
"There is a layer of ice below, causing the water temperature in this area to be too cold. If we go further, there should be underground volcanoes, and the water will be hot springs by then." Lu Xucheng said, looking at the analyzed terrain.
"Then let's go quickly!" Sese rubbed her hands, "Go to the hot springs!"
However, it was still cold even after they walked for a long time, and it was getting colder. Sese began to tremble. Lu Xucheng took out all the coats in the space and put them on, but it was of no use.
Soon her consciousness began to fade, and it was difficult to even speak. Lu Xucheng checked the terrain again and found that there was still about a hundred miles, at least two hours of walking.
He opened Sese's space button and unexpectedly found a constant-temperature sleeping bag. He quickly took it out and put Sesu into the sleeping bag. After adjusting the temperature, he fed her some nutrients.
For the rest of the way, Lu Xucheng continued to walk holding Sese in the sleeping bag. When he felt the cold gradually subsided and the temperature began to rise, Sese woke up.
After peeling off the sleeping bag, the little girl was sitting against the mountain wall with sweat on her face. Her face was pale and her whole body was weak. Judging from her symptoms, she must have suffered from frostbite due to the extreme cold. Lu Xucheng took out a medical kit from the space button, injected her with a medicine, and let her rest for half an hour. Finally, Sese was able to stand up.
"Uncle Lu..." Sesu crawled into his arms, "I'm hungry."
Seeing that she still had my appetite to eat, Lu Xucheng breathed a sigh of relief and took out the nutrient solution. Sesu doubted life while eating.
"Why don't those vines listen to me? Is there something wrong with my affinity?" There are no plants here, and no experiments can be done.
"I suspect that the green vines that attacked us were artificially modified. There must be some secret here."
At that time, the vines dragged them down for two reasons. One was probably to kill them, and the second was to capture them.
