The sun shines on the ground through the gaps between the branches and leaves, bringing a touch of warmth to the humid forest.

But the good times did not last long. The dark clouds in the sky gradually blocked the sun, and dense raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the branches of the vegetation, forcing them to bend their slender waists.

clatter.

A foot wearing a combat boot stepped on the wet grass. Ilumi looked solemn. Since the rain just now, he always felt that the atmosphere in the forest had changed.

"Be careful, something feels wrong."

Biyande did the same. He raised his palms to signal everyone to slow down and move forward cautiously.

In front, five Avengers soldiers were holding machetes and slashing away, clearing away the plants blocking the road so that Ilumi and others could pass easily.

Soon, a group of fifty people, led by Sami's big ear, came to a river.

"It's a river. I don't know if the water in it is drinkable."

Virus hunter Sophia squatted by the river, took out an ampoule from her backpack, put on disposable protective gloves, and sank the ampoule into the water, then put it away when it was about one-third full.

"check."

Ilumi looked to the left, and on Slos' burly body, a cute-looking shota was sitting on his shoulders, swinging her legs.

Didi…

After receiving Illumi's order, Pride took out a tablet from the giant backpack behind Sloth and tapped his finger on the screen.

Bang!

An Avengers soldier stepped directly into the river, bent down to hold some river water with one hand, and stood there with his head lowered.

At this time, in the screen of the Ranger Neuromechanical Helmet, the analysis data of the river water continued to change, and was finally confirmed to be Class I water quality, which is water quality without any pollution.

"Class I water quality, drinkable."

While Pride responded to Ilumi, he gently swiped his finger on the screen to let the Avengers soldiers return to the shore.

puff!

However, when the Avengers soldier returned to the shore, he paused, raised his rifle with a silencer, and fired a shot at the river at his feet.

The sound of a gunshot immediately attracted the attention of Biyang De and the others, looking at the river at the feet of the Avengers soldier with alert expressions.

Puff puff……

But then the Avengers fired continuously towards the water, and in just five seconds a magazine was used up. The Avengers quickly changed the magazines and were about to continue shooting...

"Let him come up, don't waste bullets."

Ilumi ordered, he had already seen what was in the water. Although there was a lot of ammunition in the Avengers backpack, there was no need to waste ammunition on this kind of thing.

Under the control of Pride, the Avengers soldiers ignored the attacks from the water and walked directly back to the shore.

At this time, everyone saw that there were about a dozen ferocious-looking fish biting into the flesh of the Avenger's thick calf. After landing, the Avenger pulled out the steel knife from his waist.

laugh!

A flash of sword light flashed, and all the fish bitten on the leg were chopped into two parts, the front and back, and the back half fell to the ground, but the half of the mouth was still bitten in the calf meat.

The Avengers soldiers slapped them to the ground one by one with the back of their swords.

"Is this a piranha?"

A man wearing a peaked cap came to squat next to the Avengers, pulled out a dagger from his calf, and fiddled with the piranha that was chopped into two pieces.

"But it seems to be a mutated species."

This man in a peaked cap is named Shepard. He is a sea hunter in Bekind's team and specializes in studying various exotic and mutated marine creatures.

He took out a bottle from his backpack and put the mutated piranha carcass that was broken into two pieces on the ground into it, intending to take it back for research.

"How to cross the river? Should we clean up the piranhas first, or should we just cross the river like this?"

The man in the peaked cap stood up and looked at Biyande.

"Don't worry about it, it's just some piranhas. The army will figure it out by itself."

Biyang Demo rubbed his chin. They were the vanguard investigation team, and there was an investigation team of thousands of people behind them, but even so, they would not have to solve such a small trouble.

After saying that, Biyang De also looked at Ilumi and Kim Bradley.

"Let's go."

While Yilumi was speaking, his figure blurred and appeared directly on the opposite river bank with a "swish".

"So fast."

Biyande's expression condensed, but as soon as he finished speaking, the figure of Sloss beside him disappeared in an instant and appeared on the opposite bank. And even at this speed, Pride was still sitting firmly on his shoulder.

"Hey, hey, even if he's fast, why is that big guy so fast too!?"

Sergio, who had shoulder-length white hair, pointed at Illumi with a twitching cheek, then pointed at Sloss who appeared opposite, and twitched at the corner of his mouth as he complained.

Others in the team also opened their mouths, looking stunned.

Bang!

While he was complaining and others were surprised, the Avengers soldiers jumped high one by one and easily crossed the five-meter-wide river with the help of human auxiliary prosthetic limbs.

Kim Bradley and Gleed also jumped across the river at the same time.

"Damn, what kind of monsters are these?"

Sergio complained again that even though he was carrying such a large supply backpack, he could jump several meters high with just one leap, which was a bit impressive to him.

"Maybe it's because of the human-assisted prosthetics on their bodies."

Cervantes looked at the mechanical skeletons on the Avengers. He had known about this kind of thing before, but they were ordinary human auxiliary prostheses, used to help disabled people walk normally.

"But the auxiliary prostheses on these guys can probably be used as simple versions of powered exoskeletons."

Cervantes' eyes were a little complicated. He looked at Ilumi and Kim Bradley on the other side of the river. With such advanced technology and weapons and equipment, what is the origin behind them?

Although their identities had been confirmed in the previous meeting, he felt that there was still a layer of fog floating around Yilumi and others, making it difficult to figure out.

Biyande and others jumped across the river one by one and continued moving forward.

Perhaps because it was still near the coastline, a group of fifty people walked for about twenty minutes without encountering any dangerous creatures until they came to an area full of colorful flowers.

Whether it was the ground, the surrounding vegetation, or even the thick tree trunks, there were flowers of various colors blooming, extending to the tops that they could not see.

"It's strange, isn't it? There is a sea of ​​flowers in the primeval forest?"

A man looked at the sea of ​​flowers in front of him with a smile on his face. Although he was smiling, he actually did not dare to step into it.

"These flowers look strange."

At this time, a black-haired woman stepped forward to observe the flowers, put on gloves and touched them, opened the flowers to look at the stems and rhizomes underneath them, and even stepped into the sea of ​​flowers.

"Why?" someone asked.

"They all look different."

The black-haired woman's name is Natalie, a biologist hunter in the Byande team. Her research field is the life cycle of cellular genetic genes.

As she walked, she opened the flowers and looked at the stems and rhizomes underneath them. Suddenly, Natalie opened the flowers below and turned sideways to let her companions see clearly.

"Look at these flowers. You wouldn't say they are the same species. But they grow on the same branch. But in this case, they are definitely the same species and the same plant."

It turns out that there are no roots at all under those flowers, but only branches, just like grafted ones.

"It feels like they're constantly mutating."

Natalie shook her head, knelt down and carefully observed the flower branches, frowning.

"Is it a disease?"

Ilumi walked past him and asked casually.

"Well..."

While Natalie was speaking, she pinched a flower from the branch. There were eight petals in total, and each petal had several different colors, such as blue, purple, dark purple, black, etc.

.

"If it happened to a human being, you would definitely think it was a disease."

Natalie broke off a petal and put it in her backpack, got up and continued moving forward.

I don’t know how long I walked.

Da da da……

Yilumi and his group stopped for a moment, turned sideways and looked back, their expressions solemn.

"The gunfire came from where we were passing."

Kim Bradley frowned and said, while Ilumi's face was dull. Glied's expression was excited. He walked calmly along the way. His temper had long been uncontrollable.

Zizzi~

At this time, a burst of electricity sizzled from their earphones, followed by Captain Olson's voice.

"Be careful, the sea of ​​flowers will move and they will attack us!"
