The night in the forest is always much colder than the temperature outside, and everyone is equipped with only blankets. Lu Qian, who is no more afraid of the cold than these people, leans against Church again, and Church naturally surrounds Lu Qian.

Lu Qian, who solved his worries, always had a faint sense of happiness, dreamless all night.

Lu Qian was surprised to find that after a night's rest, the discomfort on his body completely disappeared, so he jumped outside briskly.

Qiu Qi looked at the energetic Lu Qian expressionlessly, but he had other plans in mind.

The group ate some dry food and continued on their way. Everyone hoped to go to the center of the forest to check the situation quickly so that they could go out early.

Because of Church's confession last night, Lu Qian no longer felt the embarrassment he had before, and after admitting it psychologically, he felt that it was not a big deal to have sex.

Lu Qian found that the further he went, the more difficult the road was, because few people would go into the depths of the forest. At the end, there was no road, and everyone could only step on the half-person-high grass and walk forward. .

Church knew that Lu Qian's physique was lower than that of ordinary people, so he specially took care of him and let him follow him. Carl and 358 are both flying types, and there is no pressure in the air.

Suddenly there was a commotion among the people walking in front, so they all gathered around, Lu Qian followed Chu Qi to check the situation, there was a caterpillar with thick arms lying on the ground among the crowd, writhing its limbs constantly Wanting to straighten his body, he struggled for a while and finally landed on his feet, and slowly crawled into the nearby grass.

A red light came out of Carl's chest, swept the caterpillar, and said to Church, "Master, C-level mutation."

Someone pointed to the bug that was about to disappear in the grass and asked, "Your Highness, this... do you want to take it back?"

Church shook his head and said, "No, this time I'm here to investigate the reason. For the animals I see, it's good to know the mutation level."

The man breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Church said.

Lu Qian also sweated for himself, for such a big thing, he really didn't know how to put it back alive.

At this time, the director began to advise everyone, "Everyone, don't panic too much. Prepare yourself first. It's just a mutated animal. There are a bunch of other animals in it, but they generally don't hurt people."

The surprise was over, and everyone had to move on. Sure enough, on the next road, from time to time, they would see insects of the previous size lying on the side of the tree. Someone accidentally stepped on a small one, which also scared him. He yelled, and in the words of that person, "all the hairs of disgust stand on end."

The further you go in, you can also see large butterflies flying by.

After walking gradually for more than an hour, it can be seen from the navigation instrument that it is almost approaching the center of the forest. At this time, because of the dense bushes and piles of leaves, the surrounding light is already too dark. Everyone They took out their own lighting tools.

Church also held Lu Qian's hand without warning.

Lu Qian looked up at Chu Qi in the darkness, and shook his hand instead.

Gradually, there were sounds of things jumping or running around, and judging from the sounds, it could be concluded that they were all animals that only reminded them of being too big.

At this time, in order to appease people's hearts, the director explained, "These are all C-level mutant animals. Everyone knows that C-level mutation is the lowest level of mutation. What appears on plants is the change in size. The same is true for animals, which produce c-level mutations. The super-mutated animals are twice as big as usual, but most of them are herbivores, so they won't take the initiative to conflict with us."

As soon as the director finished speaking, a huge antelope appeared in the light illuminated by the crowd. The other party looked at the crowd in surprise, turned and ran away.

As they walked, everyone saw patches of faint light not far ahead, especially conspicuous in the darkness.

Someone asked, "Director, what is that big light in front? Don't tell me it's a firefly."

The director smiled awkwardly, "I don't know either. I haven't been in here before. According to the instrument, it shows that we have reached the center of the forest. Let's go and have a look."

Lu Qian squinted his eyes and looked at the fluorescent light in front of him, which seemed a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, this light seemed to be the same as the light emitted by the A-level plant before.

Curiosity drove the crowd to move forward quickly. At the end of the straight road, there was a trampled turning road.

"This should be stepped on by animals. It seems that there should be many animals coming in and out here. Be careful. If it is a carnivore, it will be more troublesome."

Everyone turned the corner cautiously. Lu Qian was the last one to enter because he followed the crowd, but he was as shocked by the scene as the previous ones.

Inside is a pond more than ten meters wide. The waterside is surrounded by a piece of grass. The grass growing on the ground is nothing but the A-level mutant plants found outside the restricted area. A large area of ​​plants emits a faint glow in the dark. The light illuminated the entire space. The pieces of light I saw before were the afterglow leaked from the gaps in the trees. There were animals constantly coming in here to drink water or eat the glowing plants on the ground.

Lu Qian found that the animals that ate grass were all large in size, while the animals that drank water were mostly of normal size.

At this time, a group of deer suddenly broke into the other side of the lake, all of them were twice the size of the normal deer. The leading deer saw Lu Qian and his party on the other side of the pond, but did not turn around and run, but raised its head and called After a few sounds, the deer in the back seemed to be choreographed, and went to the diagonal line farthest from the crowd to drink water, while the leader still looked at the crowd like this, as if to prevent the crowd from sneaking up.

358 and Carl said at the same time, "That's a B-level mutant deer!"

The director echoed, "Yes, B-level mutated animals already have intelligence close to that of humans, so they just had to talk to us. When I was in the forest, I found a group of C-level mutated rabbits, which were kept in a very orderly manner. The b-level mutated rabbit is leading, and the scene is even more spectacular."

Church, who had been silent all the way, spoke up, "I think the mutation of these animals should be caused by the plants on the ground. Are you sure the mutation here only appeared recently?" Church looked at the director and asked.

The director said with certainty, "Yes! I just sent someone to scan the entire western forest with a detector in the air two months ago. It's fine if the C-level mutation is not found. Such a large number of A-level mutations Plants, it is impossible not to be scanned, according to the information from Morris, this plant has a very strong reproductive ability, and it may not necessarily appear recently."

A group of people who didn’t know what to do asked, “Your Highness, what should we do now?”

"Everyone took out their collection equipment and collected the A-level plants here. Just fill it up. Whether the animal mutation is due to this plant needs to go back and do experiments to draw conclusions."

"Yes!"

Lu Qian also dispersed like everyone else to collect mutated plants near the pond. Lu Qian found that although the large mutated animals had mutated, they were still very timid. When people approached, they probably ran away. Only the deer Under the leadership of the leader, the group hides and eats grass at the farthest place from the crowd.

Because the place is big enough, everyone didn't intend to grab a small piece of space from the group of mutated deer.

Because Lu Qian was collecting experimental samples, he gradually approached the edge of the pond. Since the edge of the pond near the water surface was also covered with luminous plants, Lu Qian could see large fish secretly surfacing. The surface of the water took a bite of the grass and sank.

Lu Qian couldn't help thinking that if he ate these grasses, would he also mutate?After thinking about it, he laughed at himself.

At this time, a person who was collecting plants shouted, "Your Highness, I found it here again."

Lu Qian gathered together with everyone to look, and saw that the man dug up a petri dish from the root of the glowing plant, together with the soil and the plant.

The director took a closer look and said with certainty, "This is a special petri dish for the laboratory." After speaking, he turned to Church and said, "Your Highness, this shows that these plants are probably man-made! Someone deliberately promoted the mutation of animals. We We need to go back quickly to confirm whether this plant has this effect, and send someone over to wipe out all the things here."

Because everyone set off for the center of the forest early in the morning, the road out of the forest took more than two hours. When we were about to reach the road, the director called the car in advance through the communication device.

As soon as everyone walked out of the forest, they got into the car and drove back to the airport. Everyone fell asleep in the car when they were sleepy.

This time Lu Qian was directly asked by Church to ride in the same car with him.

Lu Qian reluctantly agreed.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the search department. The mutated plants were moved to the research institute by the director to prepare for experiments. Church had to go to the research institute before returning home. Because Lu Qian came here by car yesterday, I took Carl and 358 back in advance.

Church entered the Genetic Research Institute alone, walked into the elevator, and soon reached the top floor. After the elevator door opened, he walked directly to the door at the end of the passage. He stood at the door and was scanned by infrared rays, and the door opened.

Church went in and saw 82.3562 displayed on the side of the transparent column, frowning, thinking of the mutated plant found on the edge of the restricted area, he hurriedly called Qiu En.

"Brother, what did you find in the western forest this time?" Qiu En still looked at ease.

"A large area of ​​Grade A plants was found in the center of the forest. The research institute is conducting experiments. Have you found your key?"

Qiu En shrugged, "No, I've been looking for it for a long time."

Church frowned and said, "Find it out as soon as possible. Kardashev's water column has risen by [-]% in half a year. Someone is secretly promoting biological mutation. I suspect there may be something in the restricted area."

"Alright alright!"

Church looked at Qiu En as if he had nothing to do with him, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, the burden of the Federation was his own business.

Qiu En over there, after Church cut off the communication, gradually lost his smiling face. At this moment, a man with the same face as Qiu En in the room walked in from the door, and asked with a frown, "Enqiu, what are you doing?" Have you seen the key to my restricted area, I remember it seemed to be guarded by you a long time ago?"

The man named Enqiu looked dotingly at the man who entered the door and said, "What does it look like? I may have forgotten it myself."

The man who entered the door thought for a while and began to describe the appearance of the key. The man in the room looked at him with a smile, not sure if he really listened, but his eyes were infinitely gentle.
