"Brother Shen?" Qin Shi looked over in confusion, but found nothing unusual.
Shen Yue had already retracted his gaze. He did not explain, but asked: "Nightingale, you are the first person to come to the scene to check. Those battle traces... what do you think?"
The reason why Qin Shi's code name in the team is Nightingale is because she is the most outstanding scout, with strong observation skills and extremely keen perception.
"Judging from the energy fluctuations and battle traces left at the scene, there must have been malignant mutant plants here." Qin Shi said with certainty.
"Where did the malignant mutant plant go?" Shen Yue pointed out the problem sharply.
Everyone knows that after the alien plant becomes malignant, it will not only have full attack power, but also become very large in size.
Even if such a large and malignant alien plant is taken away, what about the body? It can't just disappear into thin air, right?
"This is indeed very strange." Qin Shiyi looked solemn: "The last time I checked carefully, there were no traces of dragging around here. The malignant mutant plant... seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."
Shen Yue squinted his eyes slightly, and his seemingly unfocused but sharp gaze scanned the surrounding grass bit by bit, not missing any inch.
We all know that nature is a cyclical process. After plants wither, they will be turned into fertilizer to nourish new life again.
Those alien plants that withered just a few days ago, and now there are very few traces of them on the ground.
Shen Yue felt inexplicably that the withered exotic vegetation seemed to be corroding too quickly?
After a while, he asked Qin Shi casually: "Do those battle traces look familiar to you?"
She quickly thought of something from Shen Yue's words and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Brother Shen, do you suspect that it was Wei Heng who did it?" Wei Heng has the earth element power, but he has the natural ability to destroy corpses and eliminate traces.
Shen Yue didn't say yes or no.
Knowing that the target of their mission this time was with Wei Heng, Qin Shi had checked many of Wei Heng's past battle videos on the internal system before coming, and also learned about his fighting habits.
But judging from the traces of the battle that day...
"It's hard to say." Qin Shi shook his head slightly and recalled: "Judging from the traces of the battle that day, the malignant mutant plant was at least level 8 or above..."
But they all know that Wei Heng used to be a level 9 superpower, but since the incident happened half a year ago, there has been a problem with his superpower...
It is said that Wei Heng's superpower can only be used once again now.
After one time, if you are lucky, you may be able to retain your human dignity and end your life peacefully; if you are unlucky, you will completely lose your mind and become a monster.
"Besides, I checked..." Qin Shi didn't know what she thought of, and her voice suddenly dropped a bit, "He has been taking superpower inhibitors for the past six months... It shouldn't be him."
Shen Yue hummed noncommittally, and after a while, he suddenly said, "What about Gu Xi?"
Qin Shi was startled for a moment: "...Gu Xi's superpower is only about level 4." And she has such a delicate appearance that the wind can blow her down. It can't be her no matter what, right?
Shen Yue said: "The military department asked experts to look at the sweet potatoes you sent back last time. Although the mutation coefficient is very low, after being spawned by wood-type superpowers as seeds, they mutated very quickly..."
"In just one day, the coefficient of variation of the sweet potato vines grown was as high as over 6." Shen Yue's eyes fell on a weed not far away, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Qin Shi subconsciously looked at him, a little surprised, but then became a little bit more understanding.
When she was planting watermelons that day, she discovered that the girl's powers were indeed somewhat special.
But thinking about those mutated upland rice plants, Qin Shi was not so sure.
"What does the boss mean...?" She raised her head and asked Shen Yue, feeling a little complicated.
"Let's take a look again." Shen Yue turned around and walked to the other side of the hillside.
What he didn't tell Nightingale was that although the sweet potatoes sent back could not be cultivated as improved seeds, several experts discovered another possibility...
Moreover, when he was investigating Gu Xi's information, he accidentally discovered that Ye Junhan and another force seemed to be secretly investigating Gu Xi recently.
And Professor Xu... He left here in a hurry. After returning, the first thing he did was to retrieve Gu Xi's information.
Although Professor Xu's subsequent actions were very clever and secretive, Shen Yue still discovered something very interesting.
——He is deliberately hiding Gu Xi's existence.
And what he did was quite clever. He did not destroy Gu Xi's information, but completely annihilated it among the large group of pioneers.
Just like a drop of water, it cannot be found until it is completely integrated into the ocean.
Things are really getting more and more interesting.
Shen Yue didn't know what he was thinking of. The ends of his eyes were slightly raised and he let out a careless tut.
…
When Gu Xi and the others came back from the camp, it was already very late.
The Qin sisters on the other side seemed to have fallen asleep, but the light was still on in the earthen house not far away.
After Wei Heng moved the things out of the car, he turned around and went to get a basket of sweet potatoes and started lighting a fire.
Gu Xi had nothing to do, so she took out the old radio and started playing with it.
Wei Heng raised his head and glanced at the side: "How about I come here later?" There are tens of thousands of things, so don't break them randomly.
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the chirping sound of electricity coming from the radio.
Now Wei Heng didn't even care about the sweet potatoes in the pot. He just stuffed a few sticks of dry firewood into the stove, squatted over, and said with a surprised look on his face: "I didn't expect this to actually work..."
He looked eager to try it out and wanted to get started personally.
Gu Xi glanced at him with a smile: "Isn't it too expensive now?"
Wei Heng: "..."
Of course, it’s still too expensive. Thirty-eight thousand can buy a truckload of sweet potatoes. But don’t you buy them all?
However, he was looking at Gu Xi with great interest, as if he had just received a new toy. As a grown man, it was not easy for him to compete with a little girl, so he could only silently turn around and add a handful of firewood to the earthen stove.
But my heart felt itchy like a cat scratching.
In the end, I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I turned around again, squatting next to Gu Xi and watching her mess around, and occasionally giving me bad ideas.
Gu Xi: "..." Doesn't it sound like you have integrity?
On the side, Wei Heng saw that she had been debugging for a long time but could not receive the channel. He couldn't help but frown slightly: "Gu Xi, could it be that we can't receive the signal here?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the female announcer's smooth voice sounded from the radio: "Listeners, let's..."
Wei Heng: "..."
Gu Xi clapped her hands, raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at him, with a look like "It's done, the thirty-eight thousand dollars won't be a loss."
Wei Heng: "..." Let's listen to the radio.
This should be an agricultural science and education channel, which is broadcasting the key points of growing mutant corn...
The two squatted nearby and listened for a while. Wei Heng turned around and moved out two deck chairs from the house - which he had made by himself when he had nothing to do a few days ago.
Gu Xi stood up, patted the dust under her body, and lay down on the chair on the left. Wei Heng turned around and added a handful of firewood to the stove.
The starry sky above her head, an earthen stove beside her, corn cultivation technology ringing in her ears, and the fragrance of sweet potatoes in her nose... Gu Xi squinted her eyes slightly and thought to herself, this is probably the so-called fireworks in the world, right?
After lying down and listening to the radio for a while, Gu Xi took out the old dictionary again, lowered his head and read through it slowly.
Wei Heng glanced at her, turned around and opened the lid of the pot. Not afraid of burning his hands, he directly poked the sweet potatoes in the pot with his fingertips - they were not soft enough and needed to be simmered for a while.
But he didn't notice that Gu Xi paused slightly while flipping through the dictionary.
Her eyes fell on the end of a line on page 28 of the dictionary.
There seems to be an inconspicuous little ink spot there, and I don't know which of its previous owners accidentally left it when using it.
But if you look closely, you will find that the shape of this small ink dot is a bit strange, very similar to a special symbol on the sign that Xu Yiersan left for her before.
So similar, almost exactly the same.
The fingertips slowly slid over the small ink dot. Gu Xi lowered his eyes slightly, and the moment before Wei Heng looked over, he turned to the next page as if nothing had happened... This chapter has been completed!
