The sun seems to be twice as big as it was a few days ago, yet it bakes all the heat into a sizzling vapour.
Chi Xin stepped on the soil and wet soil, and the steaming heat wave was instantly enveloped, mixed with the inexplicable suffocation in the high oxygen environment, and the smell of rainwater soaked by green leafy plants, pouring into her nose.
"Is this... a rainforest?"
She murmured and looked up, the huge green leafy plants covered the sky, crowded against each other, completely unable to see what was going on in the depths, it was dark and gloomy.
The rainforest was originally one of the most dangerous places on earth, and all human beings who entered would have to die, but now they have to pass through a post-apocalyptic rainforest.
Jing Xiubai made the boat very well, stood beside Chi Xin, and looked up: "It looks very spectacular, doesn't it?"
"Really, I already wanted to run before I got in." Yu Xiang continued, but she had no intention of taking a step back, with a smile on her face, "I'm going in front of me. I went with my friends to simulate a jungle, you know, it's the kind of man-made snakes that don't have toxins in it, and that's when I decided to hate rainforests."
Jiang Congyun was the last to follow, her face was obviously pale: "Are we really going in? Can't take a detour or something? Even if it's a little farther, it's better than going straight through here... Okay."
It's not that she's timid, it's just that this rainforest gives people a terrifying look and feel, and even before entering, you can feel the infiltration of that giant beast devouring people.
Chi Xin held her hand: "We have been studying the map for several days before. The laboratory is located in the most central location of the rainforest. No matter where you go, you have to go through a part of the rainforest."
"I remember." Jiang Congyun smiled wryly at her, "I am, I really don't want to go in."
"To be honest, I don't want to either." Chi Xin was honest, she moved her gaze to the gaps in the trees again, and her excellent eyesight penetrated into the depths of the rainforest, "I can feel it, there are something to fear."
She looked back, thinking of the night when she was still floating at sea.
With nothing to do, Jing Xiubai called out the map from the watch that had been supplemented with energy, and used the projection function to zoom in on the desktop. Based on the impression in his memory, he marked the approximate location of the laboratory on it.
"Eighty percent of the energy on it will be at this location." Jing Xiubai pointed his finger at the center of the rainforest, and there was a considerable radiation range around it, "It is surrounded by Molico rainforest, in the middle of the rainforest. Before the apocalypse broke out, it was called 'the lungs of the world' and was also called 'the most dangerous place of demons' by adventurers."
Seeing the unsightly faces of his companions, he added: "Of course, there are also cases where the laboratory did not want adventurers to enter rashly, so it was released on purpose."
"Don't comfort us." Chi Xin reluctantly said, "Although we are not as good as you are, we still go to school anyway, so what is called the rainforest will be the gentle homeland of human beings. ?"
"That's right, it's enough to be afraid of before the end of the world." Yu Xiang replied, "Although I'm not knowledgeable, but the swamps, miasma, poisons, and plants that can eat people... are not all specialties of the rainforest. ?"
Their sad and angry eyes, Jing Xiubai sighed softly: "Well, I'll tell the truth. Even if the exaggerated elements are excluded, Molico is indeed the most dangerous rainforest in the world. It has a vast area and a long history, and I don’t know how many mutant animals and plants have been bred in it. For the rainforest, the humidity is heavy and the land is scarce, so the competition between animals and plants is very fierce, and they will evolve on their own in order to survive. , competing for living space. What's more, the laboratory is located in it, and if you look at the things in the world that have mutated because of viruses, you can imagine what is in the nearest Molico to it."
As soon as the fact that this was more cruel than imagined came out, people became even more disheartened.
"Good guy," Yu Xiang swallowed the water, "this laboratory... where is this Gu raising?"
"Pfft." In this serious situation, Chi Xin was amused.
"Ahem." In order to save her, she quickly put on a serious look, "This, this rainforest is like an impregnable wall. It's hard to break into it? The laboratory is really a good place to choose."
"It's not that absolute." Jing Xiubai said, "No defense will be perfect. Although Molico casts a natural barrier for them, it is not indestructible. Look here. ."
His slender fingers moved on the map, and Chi Xin took out a marker and handed it to him at the right time. He raised his eyes and glanced at Chi Xin.
Jing Xiubai came over and circled the position on the vast sea: "We are here at the moment."
The four heads forward together, staring at the map at the same time.
Jing Xiubai drew a long line, connecting the circle to one side of the Molico Rainforest, "This is the road we're going on."
"Is there anything special here?" Jiang Congyun asked.
Jing Xiubai closed his eyes and frowned slightly, as if recalling some embarrassing memories, then he opened his eyes, "If I remember correctly, this road was when I was arrested in the laboratory. The way their people took me."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was a little quiet.
Or Yu Xiang broke the silence: "It's been so many years, you haven't forgotten?"
"Shouldn't you be asking, didn't they give you anesthesia at that time?" Chi Xin said, "In this secret place, they just took you in there carelessly."
"I was chosen by them, and I didn't just get caught from the street." Jing Xiu's eyes flashed with a cold look that he hadn't seen for a long time, "If they can see that I'm just a middle school student, there's nothing wrong with me. I took extra precautions and just casually covered me with a black cloth, not knowing that I woke up from the moment I got off the boat, and I secretly lifted the black cloth a little."
Chi Xin was stunned, "Then you are so courageous, ordinary children of that age should be frightened crazy after such a thing happens, even if they wake up early, they will inevitably cry. Once you observe the terrain, you will immediately attract the kidnapper's attention."
Jing Xiubai looked at her: "Did you recall your own experience?"
Chi Xin looked back at him this time with a distant expression.
She did recall a previous kidnapping. In addition to her, the kidnappers also kidnapped the little daughter of her father's partner. That little girl was the same age as her, a junior high school student.
That was not the first kidnapping that Chi Xin experienced. She knew that as long as she stayed true and didn't stand out, her father would find someone to rescue them sooner or later, so she didn't say a word, although she didn't surreptitiously observe the terrain like Jing Xiubai. but he definitely didn't want to attract the kidnappers' attention.
But it was the first time that the girl had experienced such a thing. As soon as she woke up, she began to cry loudly, which not only exposed the fact that they had woken up, but also caused the kidnappers to be irritated because of the noise.
Later, when sending evidence to their families, the kidnappers chose the girl among them, cut off her pinky finger, and sent it to their families.
"Pool, cell?"
The five divergent fingers swayed in front of his eyes, and Chi Xin came back to his senses.
Yu Xiang withdrew his hand, "What do you remember?"
Chi Xin felt that this experience was of little help to the current situation, so he shook his head, "It's nothing, let's continue watching."
After she lowered her head, the other people quickly fought with their eyes.
Yu Xiang: Do you ask
Jiang Congjun: What are you asking? Didn't you see Xinxin and didn't want to ask
Jing Xiubai: "Cough."
Chi Xin raised his head, looked at the eyes that were immediately closed, and said inexplicably, "What's wrong with you?"
"Going down this road, maybe we will encounter less obstacles." Jing Xiubai cut back to the topic in a second, "But it will inevitably happen. The road has changed over the years."
He looked up at his companion: "Want to bet?"
Chi Xin looked at the map, and his eyes circled around the vast border of the rainforest: "We have no other choice than this road." She said, "If we take this road, we still have a certain chance to directly Da Lab, isn't it?"
In this way, the four of them are now standing in front of the only option.
"Xiu Bai, do you think this road is long like this?" Yu Xiang asked, "Should we change roads as soon as possible?"
Jing Xiubai was silent for a moment, then answered honestly, "It's not the same."
Chi Xin looked at him: "What kind of bad signal is this?"
"It's really not that good." Jing Xiubai said, "Judging from the age of this rainforest, a few years or even a dozen years are not enough for it to produce significant changes."
"That is, there is indeed a big change here."
The four of them set their sights on the rainforest at the same time.
"Let's go." Chi Xin was the first to say, "As we discussed before, we have no other choice except this road, whichever side is good for us."
"Xin Xin..." Jiang Congyun held Chi Xin's hand tightly, trembling slightly.
Having experienced how dangerous it was before, Jiang Congyun was not afraid of being like this, the accumulated power of the rainforest.
"Cong Jun." Otherwise, you can stay on the boat and let's come back.
This sentence made a circle on the tip of Chi Xin's tongue and swallowed it back.
Looking at Jiang Congyun, she suddenly rolled her eyes and smiled playfully.
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have the courage to go in."
This is the heroine of the movie, not the weak Dodder flower that is only protected behind her, but the rainforest that has swallowed countless lives suddenly retreats, but she will definitely overcome the fear in her heart, and her companions Together we won the final glory.
Sure enough, after hearing Chi Xin's words, Jiang Congjun's pupils trembled violently.
"You, are you really?" She stammered, "I will give you a sense of security?"
"Of course." Chi Xin nodded without hesitation, "You are my favorite nanny sister. With you, I can fight with confidence."
Jiang Congyun opened her mouth, a trace of tears appeared in her eyes, but she quickly blinked and lowered her head.
"Well," she replied softly, but with incomparable firmness, "let's go."
Chi Xin made a gesture to the two boys.
Jing Xiubai and Yu Xiang looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Chi Xin, this humanoid flirting machine, is exuding her ubiquitous charm.
After successfully convincing the nurse, the expressions of the four of them became solemn. Chi Xin was in front, Yu Xiang followed closely, Jiang Congyun and Jing Xiubai finally pressed the team, they formed a team and stepped into the rain forest cautiously.
As soon as he entered, the light in front of him was instantly engulfed.
Every tree here has a very sturdy trunk, and the shortest looks like a dozen or twenty meters. They are huge and lush, almost shading the sun.
Chi Xin took a few breaths, and Jing Xiubai's voice came from the headset: "The oxygen content here is very high, everyone pay attention to adjusting their breathing to avoid oxygen poisoning."
At that time, Jing Xiubai finally had time to repair the headset that was soaked in water during the battle in the market, and now it comes in handy.
"I actually entered Molico, and when I went back to my father, he didn't even bring a letter." Yu Xiang whispered, "Chi Xin, is there anything in front of me? It doesn't look like what we imagined at the moment. Afraid."
"No." Chi Xin reported, "Looking now, there are only some big trees ahead, and lethal mutant animals and plants have not yet appeared."
"It's just outside the rainforest now, and dangerous things are behind." Jing Xiubai said, "Don't take it lightly, any tiny bug here can carry deadly toxins."
"Everyone still has to be careful." Jiang Congjun clearly adjusted her state, she used the most gentle tone, with the most terrifying words, "If there is still a breath, I may be able to save it, but if there is a problem The poison that seals the throat with blood, I can only mourn you in silence."
The rest of the people were silent.
Chi Xin held a machine/shuttle/gun in one hand and a long knife in the other, and chopped off a thick branch in front of him.
"I regret not bringing Holly here." She said, "If he communicates with Rainforest, he will send us directly to the laboratory door..."
"Be careful!"
"Core core!"
Before Chi Xin finished speaking, her companion's anxious voice came from behind her and her headset at the same time. She didn't know what was going on, but her body's excellent attack system had been activated automatically, and it was close to her ear. There was a sound of "hu--", she jumped up subconsciously, and strayed from her original position with a backflip.
Then, a branch as sturdy as the one it had just chopped off hit the four people with its head and face covered. Every time it fell to the ground, it could smash the wet ground into a hole.
What the hell!
The water vapor in the air caused the defensive ice wall to condense especially quickly. Jing Xiubai held up the barrier and shouted to Yu Xiang and Jiang Congyun, "Run!"
The two rushed forward immediately, Chi Xin and them went backwards, jumped up the ice wall held high by Jing Xiubai in two steps, and looked up to see what attacked them.
An ancient tree with a height of two and ten meters, and each branch has a thickness of ten centimeters.
The sound of the wind twitching its branches was mixed with angry whines, and Chi Xin's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw the chopped branch it was waving.
She understands that this ancient tree is - revenge on them!
"Pool!"
The companion's call came again, and Chi Xin bowed his head and flashed a powerful slash, and slid directly from the ice to the ground: "Go!"
They ran away in a hurry and left the attack range of the ancient tree.
But the whimpering of the ancient trees seemed to be transmitted through the cascading forests.
"What kind of thing is that?" Yu Xiang gasped for breath and was still in shock, "The tree spirit?"
"It's not a tree spirit, it's just a banyan tree." Jing Xiubai whispered, "It looks like a mulberry plant, whether it's an alpine banyan or a ficus banyan."
"." Chi Xin, "Jing Xueba, this is not a field trip. What I am more concerned about is that the banyan tree almost killed us."
"It seems that this place is much harsher than we imagined." In order to save her strength, Jiang Congyun only took a small hand/gun, she rested for a while with her knees, and straightened up, "If every plant can If you become a killer, isn't there a safe place in the whole rainforest?"
Chi Xin looked at these huge plants again, and this time they took off their gentle faces in her eyes and turned gloomy and terrifying.
"Not necessarily," she said, "if I hadn't cut off its branches just now, it shouldn't have attacked."
"Chi Xin is right." Jing Xiubai's voice was solemn, "It seems that we need to be extra careful on our next path. If we accidentally injure a plant when attacking a beast, we may face multiple threats at the same time. encirclement."
These words made Chi Xin's hair stand up.
She took a deep breath, turned around abruptly, her eyes firmed: "I see."
The four of them set off again, this time they walked more cautiously, and Yu Xiang wanted to lie down and apologize every time he stepped on a grass.
Chi Xin looked back and saw Yu Xiang Gu's funny look, his eyes were slightly soft.
After setting off from Donglubao, she once looked for Yu Xiang alone.
It was a quiet afternoon, the boat was moving forward steadily under the autopilot setting, and Chi Xin put Yu Xiang on the deck, which was not very large.
"Why did the goddess suddenly ask me out alone, so I have no preparation for this." Yu Xiang exaggeratedly looked at his clothes, "I just finished lunch, so I didn't get any vegetable soup on my body, right? ?"
"It's alright, it's alright." Chi Xin said, "I'm so disgraced that you look so disgraced, do you still care about this?"
Yu Xiang hesitated: "If you don't mention this, I can still pretend it didn't happen."
Chi Xin smiled, Yu Xiang always had the ability to bring happiness to people.
"I called you out to ask you something." After laughing, Chi Xin turned serious.
"You can wait later, those two people rushed out with jealousy." Yu Xiang blinked, "No, if you are in a hurry, I will Give up this tempting idea."
Chi Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't take his words seriously. He took out the golden perfect potion and stuffed it under Yu Xiang's nose.
"Here." She said lightly.
Yu Xiang's frowning expression suddenly froze.
"This... is this?"
"It's what you think." Chi Xin put the potion directly in Yu Xiang's hand, and saw him holding it in a dizzy subconscious, remembering the reason for Rong Feng's refusal before, and added, "Don't overdo it. Think, I don't think you are how you are, but it just happens to be there, see if you need it or not."
However, Yu Xiang didn't even think in the direction Chi Xin was worried about. He picked it up and looked left and right at the sun, making a dreamy and intoxicated voice: "This is a symbol of strength, it's so beautiful."
Chi Xin tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and smiled at Yu Xiang's delighted look.
In the movie, Yu Xiang didn't get any powers until the end. He was an ordinary person and played his best role.
Chi Xin's idea is simple. Since the plot has already taken this step, it doesn't matter whether or not to follow the original plot. The safety of the people she cares about is the most important thing.
Now that they are about to face a decisive battle, even if Yu Xiang has the second male halo, she is still worried and wants to give him an extra layer of protection.
It's really nice to see that Yu Xiang is not as repulsive as Rong Feng.
However, before she was too happy for too long, Yu Xiang suppressed her smile and returned the potion to her.
The pool core was stunned.
This guy was so happy just now, as if he had a big baby, what's going on now
"Then, it's really embarrassing for me to reject you, even for this reason." Yu Xiang looked at the sky and the sea, but not at the pool core, "Although I am very moved, I Or choose to refuse."
Yu Xiang, who has always been so funny, suddenly twisted, which surprised Chi Xin.
"Why?" she asked.
"Oh, I finally made up my mind, but you keep asking." Yu Xiang patted her shyly, "I immediately regretted it when I looked back."
"..." Chi Xin was silent for a while, "Then you accept it."
"No, no." Yu Xiang waved his hands again and again, "I'm not a man who goes back on his word."
Chi Xin really didn't know why he was so good, she took a breath, and opened it again: "This is the perfect power potion, after using it, you can get a certain power just like Cong Yun Xiubai. "
"I know."
It seems that Chi Xin really wanted to persuade him to accept it, Yu Xiang finally turned serious, he looked at the medicine in Chi Xin's hand, his eyes were a little fascinated.
"I'm not that kind of selfless person either. I put this good thing in my hands, and I really want to make up my mind to give it back to you." He raised his head and smiled, "I don't know what to do. It doesn't matter if you go up to the sky and enter the earth, I would also envy you."
"Although I don't know what abilities you will awaken, it won't be bad." Chi Xin said.
"I'm not worried about this." Yu Xiang shook his head, "It's just... oh my, it's not right to hear these words coming out of my mouth, but I really didn't think about it from the beginning to the end. You have to have supernatural powers."
Chi Xin tilted his head: "I don't understand."
Seeing her like this, Yu Xiang subconsciously touched her nose.
"Uh." Seeing that nothing came out, he took his hand embarrassedly, "Chi Xin, did I not talk to you, why do I want to go to the experiment with you? room?"
"No." Chi Xin .
"Anyone knows that this task is more fortunate and less fortunate. It is better than Holly, and everyone knows to avoid its edge. It is indeed reckless for me to be an ordinary person and follow you up." Yu Xiang shook his head mockingly. ,
The core was silent.
In fact, if it wasn't for Yu Xiang being a member of the protagonist group, she really wanted to persuade him to stay somewhere and not take risks.
She remembered that she had asked Jiang Congjun, where she followed Jing Xiubai to danger, just for the sake of hope, and Yu Xiang was the one who had the least reason to follow.
He has a rich enough family background even in the last days. As long as he returns to the human world, he can live a good life until the world is destroyed.
"When people live, there is always something to do." Yu Xiang said.
When he got serious, the rich and profound facial features were highlighted, and he looked at Chi Xin with an artist-like depth and melancholy.
"I also want to think, is it not good to actually go back to my father's side? You don't need to eat and sleep in the open air, and you don't need to be precarious." He stared at Chi Xin's eyes, the hot sunlight reflected in them, "but be careful. Think about it, don’t you have to be afraid when you go back? If the end of the world is not resolved one day, human beings will be in danger of collapse. Now, there is nothing that cannot be done.”
Chi Xin said for a long time: "...then you have an ability, isn't it more secure?"
"That's what I just said with no good intentions." Yu Xiang's expression suddenly collapsed, and he frantically scratched his head, "I just felt that when we four of us were famous for one day in history, we couldn't stop It's all superman who saved the world, right? A female god of war, an ice wizard, and a genius doctor, that's enough, we have to give us ordinary people a place."
Chi Xin did not think that it was because of this reason.
"Shh, we both know about this." Yu Xiang thiefly said, "Don't let those two listen."
He gently held Chi Xin's hand holding the power potion and pushed it back in front of Chi Xin.
His palms were hot, with a warm and dry taste like the sun, just like Yu Xiang.
Chi Xin withdrew from his memory, thinking about the slow-selling power potions in the space, which was a funny feeling.
Suddenly, Jiang Congyun exclaimed, "Ah!"
Chi Xin immediately turned around and aimed the gun at Jiang Congyun's location, but didn't even look at it.
But Jiang Congyun looked like she was collapsed, and her face turned pale all of a sudden. She covered her shoulders, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly spit out blood.
"From Yun!"
Everyone was so anxious that they surrounded Jiang Congyun. Chi Xin was about to reach out to touch her, but she shivered suddenly, rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.
Chi Xin scooped her up, carefully laid her flat, made her rest on his legs, and removed her hands that were tightly covering his shoulders.
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone gasped slightly.
Only on Jiang Congyun's shoulder, a fat and soft bug was curling up on it. The clothes had no defense against it at all. It squirmed and kept arching its head inward.
Chi Xin couldn't care less, and forcefully tore Jiang from the clothes on Yun's shoulders, and the picture under the clothes was even more impactful.
The bug didn't even want to get into the clothes, its whole head had already burrowed into Jiang Congyun's skin, and now her entire shoulders were bulging in black and purple, and she didn't know how much it had burrowed into.
And the bug was still struggling to get in.
"What's this!" Yu Xiang wanted to reach out and grab it, but he didn't dare.
"Is this okay? It won't let it break in Cong Yun's skin, will it?" He asked anxiously.
Chi Xin tried his best to remain calm and looked at Jing Xiubai, the only one who could know this.
Jing Xiubai's expression was solemn. He carefully looked at the worm for a while, and sighed: "This is a leech. Fortunately, you didn't pull it out. Your guess is right."
"Then, what should we do." Yu Xiang was at a loss with his hands open, "We all don't have to worry about being poisoned with Congyun, but no one thought about it, in case Congyun was poisoned. What shall we do!"
"Don't panic." Chi Xin said in a deep voice, she looked at Jing Xiubai, "What needs to be prepared and how to do it, you are up to you."
Jiang Congyun's space can't be used anymore. She still has a lot of medicines in it. She doesn't believe that a small leech can kill her nurse!
"Salt." Jing Xiubai , "mix high-concentration salt with water, pour it on, and let it fall off automatically. Don't pull it out, otherwise it will be more troublesome if it breaks inside."
The pool core immediately began to flip through the space, and quickly took out a bag of salt and a bottle of mineral water from it. Yu Xiang poured the whole bag of salt into it without hesitation. While shaking, the pool core suddenly lifted. Eyes, sharp eyes looked into the depths of the jungle: "Who?!"
"Chi Xin, you heard it wrong." Yu Xiang shook his head, "There are no living people here besides us, and 80% of them are mutant animals."
Chi Xin said nothing, she winked at Jing Xiubai. When Yu Xiang poured the salt water on the leech, Jing Xiubai stood up and approached the direction Chi Xin had warned.
"Come out, or we will attack." Chi Xin .
Nothing happens.
If it was normal, they would still have time to deal with it, but now that someone is injured, Chi Xin is impatient, and said coldly: "If they don't come out, they will be dealt with as the enemy."
As soon as Jing Xiubai raised his hand, an ice pick arrow shot at him.
A scream immediately sounded among the hidden bushes: "Ah—"
