Chapter 3 The man with a story

The helicopter soon hovered over a mountain forest outside the camp.

That happened to be when Gu Xi noticed something unusual outside the camp.

Gu Xi lowered his eyes and forcibly converted the energy he had just plundered from the mutant plants in the wild into spiritual powers.

Then he quietly extended his spiritual power in the direction outside the camp.

At the same time, the helicopter hovering in mid-air opened its hatch.

A group of men wearing black combat uniforms, holding an energy gun in one hand and grasping the soft rope hanging from the helicopter with the other hand, descended to the ground one by one at extremely fast speeds.

Gu Xi was very interested in the energy guns in their hands, and was about to concentrate on taking a closer look. The man who finally jumped out of the helicopter, with straight long legs and military boots, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the camp as soon as he landed.

.

Gu Xi only saw a pair of sharp and cold deep eyes, and her mind suddenly felt stinging.

She immediately cut off her external mental energy, and her face instantly turned pale.

Has it been discovered?

Sure enough, her current abilities are still too weak.

The thumb of his left hand subconsciously pressed hard on the phalanx of his index finger. Just as Gu Xi was thinking, Wei Heng beside him was finally able to breathe evenly after breathing heavily for a long time.

"Gu Xi? What's wrong with you?" Wei Heng stood up and saw that Gu Xi's face was extremely pale. He thought it was the first time she saw such a formation and was frightened, so he couldn't help asking with concern.

Gu Xi raised her eyes to look at the pale and nervous man, raised her finger to point to the helicopter hovering in the distance, and asked slowly: "...that's that?"

Just after seeing that familiar logo, something flashed through her mind quickly.

Gu Xi wanted to make sure of one thing.

Wei Heng leaned half against the wall, panting slightly, and looked up following her direction: "That's the helicopter from the Central Base's Special Ability Research Institute, but what's coming over should be the special ability team of the military..."

At this point, Wei Heng reacted suddenly: "...Grass!"

The place where they are now is still 1,200 miles away from Nancheng Base, and even more 108,000 miles away from the Central Base. How could the helicopters from the Central Base arrive so quickly?

Something's wrong!

Seeing that Gu Xi hadn't reacted yet, Wei Heng simply grabbed her arm and said, "Let's go! Go out and take a look."

"Where to go?" Gu Xi followed his strength and just took a step, then her whole body went limp and she fell weakly in the direction of Wei Heng.

"Gu Xi?!" Wei Heng hurriedly held up most of her body, frowning, "Your body is too weak, I'd better send you to the infirmary first..."

Gu Xi: "..."

The reason why her whole body is so weak now that she can't use any strength is because of the sequelae of having her powers forcibly cut off.

After all, she is still too weak now.

If it were before...

Gu Xi lowered his eyes, habitually pressed the phalanges of his left hand with his thumb, and was half dragged and half carried to the medical room by Wei Heng in silence.

Before entering the door, she seemed to feel something in her heart, and suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the helicopter.

The next moment, Gu Xi's expression suddenly changed.

In the distance, below the helicopter, an unusually tall and thick mutant plant suddenly sprang out from the ground. The long black-green stem carried sharp green leaves and spread its teeth and claws in mid-air, like a long whip with thorns, and exerted force towards the helicopter in mid-air.

whipped away.

At the same time, several dazzling white lights attacked the mutated plants from all directions.

Is it a super bullet?

But it was a little different from the supernatural bullets in her memory.

The mutant plant that looked extremely scary quickly stopped moving after being shot.

Gu Xi looked at the stiff "corpse" of the giant plant from a distance and frowned slightly: Didn't it mean that today's mutant plants are no longer aggressive? Then what...

Wei Heng on the side also saw this horrifying scene and clenched his fists with both hands.

In the next second, he made a quick decision and pulled Gu Xi into the door of the medical room in front. While turning to close the door of the medical room, he quickly opened the energy shield of the medical room.

In the medical room, Ye Lin was worried about the fact that the energy in the camp was about to run out. She was so anxious that sweat was pouring from her forehead. Suddenly she heard the mechanical sound of the energy shield being activated, and she stood up and was about to have a seizure.

As a result, when he looked up, he saw the little girl who had just left her place in the morning, and was sent back half-dragged and half-stretched in a very weak condition, and her face suddenly turned dark.

"What's going on?" She said with a cold face, directing Wei Heng to send the pale and weak Gu Xi to the treatment table, and started medical first aid.

Wei Heng glanced at Ye Lin and whispered what happened outside at a very fast speed.

At the end, he gasped and said one more sentence: "Gu Xi, she, she was not in good health to begin with, and now she is probably frightened again..."

For the first time in her life, she was treated as a frail and frail girl who needed to be taken care of. The real boss of the apocalypse, Gu Xi: "..."

She really wasn't scared.

Not that weak.

But in order not to cause trouble to others, Gu Xi still cooperated and completed the inspection.

While waiting for the test results to come out, Gu Xi asked Wei Heng in a low voice: "What just happened...?" Didn't it mean that the mutated plants are no longer aggressive?

"It's a malignant change." Wei Heng's eyes darkened a bit as he recalled the scene he just saw.

He rubbed his messy hair, suppressed his irritation, and raised his eyes to take a deep look at the helicopter in the distance.

Below the helicopter, the unusually ferocious and tall mutant plant just now disappeared, and Wei Heng's eyes suddenly became extremely complicated.

But within a moment, he returned to his normal state, turned around and walked to sit down next to Gu Xi. He lowered his voice and said quickly in an almost gritted tone:

"As we all know, since the second large-scale mutation occurred in the twenty-nine years of the end of the world, plants are no longer aggressive..."

"But in the past six months, there have been several cases of alien plants turning malignant and hurting people across the country. After the alien plants turned malignant, they once again became powerfully aggressive..."

"But the guys at the Central Base Superpower Research Institute deliberately concealed this news from the public..."

Gu Xi was thoughtful.

Nowadays, the whole country is vigorously developing agricultural production, encouraging everyone to go out from their safe bases, actively open up wasteland and cultivate fields, and solve the food crisis. If this news breaks out at this time, it will definitely cause panic.

By then, those who have finally made up their mind to leave the base to open up wasteland and farm will probably retreat back to the safe base in an instant.

With the entire country facing a severe food crisis, the Ability Research Institute tried its best to suppress the news and hide the matter from the public. Although it is a bit cruel, it is not incomprehensible.

It's just... once the malignant transformation of the alien plant begins, can this matter really be kept hidden forever?

And there is...

"Since the superiors suppressed this news, how did you know about it?" Gu Xi raised her head and asked Wei Heng.

Wei Heng lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, his eyes a little lonely.

If he had been in the same situation half a year ago, he would have rushed to the front line without hesitation... Instead of being like now, having no choice but to run away with a little girl.

Wei Heng closed his eyes, and when he looked up at Gu Xi, he smiled and said, "That's because there is someone above me. Let me tell you, this is top secret information. Just know it in your heart, but you must not tell others...

…”

"I think the camp will notify us later to sign a confidentiality agreement." He winked at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi glanced at him, smiled noncommittally, and said nothing.

His eyes fell on the exposed skin on his wrist, and he paused for a subtle second.

Under normal circumstances, most ordinary people would be aroused with goosebumps and even stand on their heads in extreme fear when they see the horrific scene just now.

But Wei Heng didn't.

Although he looked pale and his steps were weak and weak... he was too weak.

Gu Xi lowered his eyes.

It seems that this is also a man with a story.
