Wei Heng was carrying a pot of freshly steamed sweet potatoes. As soon as he walked over, he noticed that everyone was looking at Gu Xi, as if she had asked something she shouldn't have asked.
The atmosphere was still vaguely tense.
"The sweet potatoes are ready." Wei Heng smiled, walked over as if nothing had happened, and put the big pot in his hand directly in front of Shen Yue.
Eat, you bastard.
Shen Yue: "..."
With his interruption, the vaguely tense atmosphere was relieved a lot.
Gu Xi also took a sweet potato from the pot and shook it twice in his hand. After it was no longer hot, he handed it to Xu Yiersan next to him: "Professor Xu?"
Xu Yiersan's face was a little solemn.
After Gu Xi asked the question related to the malignant transformation of the alien plant, he frowned and hesitated to speak.
Looking at the sweet potatoes handed to him by the little girl, Xu Yiersan suddenly asked: "Xiao Xi, how did you know that the alien plants have become malignant? Is it..."
He didn't know what he thought of, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Is it something?
Shen Yue subconsciously took another look at Professor Xu.
He always felt that there was something wrong with Professor Xu's attitude towards Gu Xi.
Even if Gu Xi is really his old friend, Professor Xu's attitude is too nervous and cautious?
Gu Xi saw that Xu Yiersan didn't take the sweet potato. After thinking about it, she tore open the skin of the sweet potato, just like she tore open the wrapping paper of chocolate many years ago and handed an expired chocolate candy to the little crying bag. She handed it to Xu Yiersan. With one, two, three in hand, she raised her eyes to meet his somewhat astonished eyes:
"On the first day I arrived at the camp, I encountered a malignant transformation of the alien plant. It was very scary."
The little girl's eyes were serious and calm.
Xu Yiersan avoided it subconsciously. He lowered his eyes and looked at the sweet potato in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, Professor Xu slowly raised his eyes again and looked steadily at the young girl who handed him the sweet potato.
The malignant transformation of xenografts suddenly started half a year ago, and nine cases have been discovered so far.
It is still in the top secret stage.
Even if Xiao Xi was unlucky enough to meet her once, the camp should have signed a confidentiality agreement with her...
Then why does she still ask this?
According to his observation, although Xiao Xi is young, she does not seem to be the kind of child who is very curious.
So, when she asked this, could it have something to do with her sister?
Half a year ago, after the first incident of alien plants turning malignant and injuring people, Li Mingge personally led a team there because of the seriousness of the matter. When he came back, he became a little strange.
Later, he overheard Sister Ye Xin and Dr. Qi mention that Brother Li Ming seemed to have found a mark left by his sister nearby...
Xu Yiersan stared at Gu Xi for a long time, and finally said: "Xiao Xi, the matter of the malignant transformation of alien plants is still in the top secret stage. But since you asked, then I..."
"Professor Xu." Shen Yue suddenly interrupted him, but gave Wei Heng a strange look.
Wei Heng was squatting next to Gu Xi, lowering his head slightly and playing with the sweet potatoes in the pot, seemingly not noticing Shen Yue's gaze.
"Sorry." Gu Xi carefully recalled the contents of the confidentiality agreement and said, "If it's inconvenient..."
"It's nothing inconvenient." Xu Yiersan's eyes fell on Gu Xi, and finally glanced at Wei Heng who was squatting next to her: "Xiao Xi and the others have already encountered the malignant transformation of the alien plant, and they can be regarded as half-informed..."
"However, Xiao Xi, I don't know much about this matter." This matter has been controlled in a small area, and the specimens of malignant mutations are only in the hands of a few people.
Xu Yiersan's authority is limited, and his main focus is not in this area, so he doesn't know much.
"Currently, the first known case of malignant transformation of an alien plant occurred in the West Canyon area, thirty miles away from the eastern suburbs of City A half a year ago..." Xu Yiersan accurately reported an address, squinted slightly, and settled down.
He looked at Gu Xi intently.
But Gu Xi's mood did not change at all.
Although, the address Xu Yiersan reported was the place where she finally killed the Zombie King.
Maybe he was overthinking it... Xu Yiersan sighed secretly and continued: "Before that, there were no signs..."
"Yes." From the side, Wei Heng suddenly said: "Before the first malignant mutation of the mutant plant occurred, a small earthquake broke out in City A..."
"But that might be just a coincidence." Xu Yiersan, with the caution of a scientific researcher, said with a slight frown: "Except for the earthquake that broke out in City A where the first case was located, the places where the subsequent cases of malignant mutations occurred have never had an earthquake.
After an earthquake.”
"And the latest malignant change in the alien plant happened near the 9527 camp in Nancheng." Finally, Xu Yiersan looked at Gu Xi and said in a mocking tone.
Gu Xi's mood remained unchanged.
At this moment, Professor Zhao and Professor Zhang, who had been working in the fields for most of the day, came over with excitement on their faces.
"Xiao Gu, your place is great. I just discussed it with Lao Zhang and decided to build our experimental field here." Professor Zhao said with a smile.
"Experimental field?" Gu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Professor Zhao laughed and explained: "We people coming out this time are not just walking around and going through the motions..."
In fact, this time agronomy experts were dispatched to various parts of the country. In addition to guiding agricultural production in various places, they also hope that through on-site visits and surveys, they can find ways to better adapt to the growth of mutant crops and improve the stability of the crop variation coefficient.
Sexual growth environment...
So finding a suitable location to build a test field was originally part of their plan.
Of course, the two professors decided to build the experimental field here not only because Gu Xi's special planting talent may help them stabilize the coefficient of variation of crops, but also because the soil, climate and other external conditions here are very suitable for the growth of mutant crops.
After talking about the experimental field, Professor Zhao and the two chatted with Ye Zhen for a few more words, and also asked for her opinions on certain aspects. Their words were quite affectionate, as if they were treating juniors who were close to them.
Gu Xi had no objection to the experimental field, and of course it was not her turn to have any objection. Originally, the wasteland nearby belonged to the state, and she had only contracted a hundred acres of it.
At the same time, the Qin sisters and Shen Yue on the side exchanged a quick look: the two professors are indeed well-educated and educated people, and they are so refreshing and natural in courting people, and they are quite organized.
In this regard, these rough guys who have been fighting and killing in the army since they were young are indeed inferior to them.
…
After Professor Zhao and Professor Zhang decided to choose the experimental field here, they quickly contacted the camp and the base to dispatch the corresponding supplies and equipment.
That day, the two professors stayed and continued their sampling and analysis work; but to Gu Xi's surprise, after lunch, Shen Yue and Xu Yiersan left together.
There are three experts, two are ordinary people, and one is a person with superpowers. Now the only security personnel has protected the people with superpowers and left, leaving the two professors who are just ordinary people in the wilderness?
Is this really reasonable?
Or... Shen Yue was determined that it would be absolutely safe to leave people here?
At this moment, Wei Heng suddenly came over and said with a gossipy face: "I've seen it all. Before leaving, Professor Xu secretly gave you something..."
"Does he really think of you as his niece?" Wei Heng touched his chin, his eyes swept over the off-road vehicle looking away, and finally landed on Gu Xi, he said with deep meaning.
Gu Xi was stunned, she didn't expect Wei Heng to be so sharp.
She calmly put the thing that the little crying bag had stuffed into her before leaving into her pocket, and said casually: "Maybe, I am really his relative?"
But not my niece...
"Tsk..." Wei Heng sneered, and with the corner of his eye he glanced at the Qin sisters who had been busy with the two professors over there, and suddenly said, "Gu Xi, what do I think, that Shen Yue It seems that you know the Qin sisters?"
Gu Xi turned to look at him: "?" Don't you know if you recognize him or not?
Wei Heng: "...?"
He reacted belatedly: "...No, I really don't know them."
Gu Xi glanced at him, turned around and walked back. Okay, if you say you don't know him, then you don't know him.
Wei Heng: A huge injustice.
He really didn't know them before this.
At this moment, Wei Heng felt in a daze that he seemed to have... accidentally... dug a huge hole for himself? This chapter has been completed!
