Chapter 410 Fertile Forest

Lin Guiyao glanced at Zhao Ziyue, saw her firm eyes, knew that he couldn't persuade her, so she said:

"Okay, but I'm going with you."

"You? No, it's too dangerous there!" Zhao Ziyue said anxiously.

Lin Guiyao stared: "Why not, I can't go if you can? Besides, I don't know how to command, and I can't shoot. Don't you have the right to walk around Maoshan and beat up a few little refugees? Needless to say , I will go with you, Wang Bing is in charge of the command here, we must wipe out all these Nuokeyas and the man in black behind them!"

Wang Bing nodded: "I promise to complete the task!"

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Zhao Ziyue said no more and turned around to pick out the soldiers who followed her up the mountain.

Seeing that Zhao Ziyue was unwilling to talk to him, Lin Guiyao felt a little embarrassed.

However, he was really useless in the big team, and he went up the mountain just to see if there would be any unexpected gains on the mountain. After all, this is a rare place in the wasteland with lush vegetation.

The sentry on the other side had spotted them a long time ago, but Lin Guiyao and the others ignored them and just swaggered up from the side of the mountain.

I have to say that this Radiant Mountain is really strange. In other places, the continuous torrential rain caused the plants to rot and die. Even large trees were not spared, but this place was not affected at all. A large number of plants are found at the foot of the mountain.

The most common ones are ferns, including maidenhair fern, fishtail fern, golden dog fern, kidney fern, alsophila spinulosa, etc., which made Lin Guiyao both puzzled and surprised.

Because the plants here are resistant to drought and humidity, and their living habits are even completely opposite, but they are all lush and lush, and they are not affected by the rain disaster at all. The raindrops falling from the sky hit it, and only a few petals of water can be dropped. , and seeped into the gray-black soil that never seemed to be enough.

Lin Guiyao took out a hoe and dug a little soil, rubbed it in his hands, and was surprised: "What a fertile soil!"

It has a faint earthy smell, is soft but not sticky, and the soil particles are not dense. It is like a fairy-like soil. Even if the thin seeds fall here, they can still get extremely high yields!
Then look at the dense circle of plants around, there are even lichens on the ground, ferns on the bottom, shrubs on the middle, and trees on the top are scattered, forming a very dense forest. such a place.

You must know that even the environment of the holy mountain is just a man-made garden landscape, unlike here, it is completely conceived by nature itself.

"The destination of the accumulated water is unknown. Coupled with the fertile soil, this is the reason why this mountain forest can exist, right?"

Lin Guiyao felt that there must be a lot of groundwater under this mountain, maybe the water from the Radiation Cave leaked from here.

"However, since there are ferns, there should be no shortage of starch. It is estimated that people here rely on these to survive?"

While murmuring, Lin Guiyao dug out a fern root, which was very fat, and when he cut it with a knife, white slurry came out.

This kind of white pulp is the starch in the fern. It can be eaten after being dried in the sun. It is similar to wheat, but its nutritional value is much higher.

It's just that the identification of the item shows that this plant contains a very small amount of radiation. If it is eaten for a long time, it will probably cause great harm. However, Hope City already has a radiation removal process. Add another food source.

But now the focus is on fighting, Lin Guiyao threw aside the plant stumps in his hand, and let Zhao Ziyue continue to move forward.

"Aren't you going to collect it?" Zhao Ziyue turned around and asked.

She was used to Lin Guiyao's glowing eyes every time he saw a new type of plant, but today he actually held back?

Lin Guiyao shook his head: "Let's do business first. By the way, there are two sentries behind the biggest tree 200 meters ahead. Can you handle it?"

After thinking about it, he added, "To live."

Zhao Ziyue frowned after hearing this and looked in the direction Lin Guiyao was pointing. There was indeed a large tree that looked relatively strong 200 meters away. The bushes under the big tree were very dense, and with the interference of the heavy rain, If there was someone hiding there, she really couldn't tell.

But after being reminded by Lin Guiyao, she really realized something was wrong. The bushes seemed a little too thick.

He reached out and took the sniper rifle that Lin Guiyao handed her. Since the gun was too long, Lin Guiyao volunteered to stuff it into the space backpack for her after entering the mountain. Because it would really interfere with her actions, she acquiesced. Now As soon as the gun was in her hand, her eyes instantly became sharp.

He raised the gun flatly, his expression remained the same, the thin body held a huge gun horizontally, there was an inexplicable beauty in the rain, drop after drop of rainwater slipped from Zhao Ziyue's raincoat, Lin Guiyao stood aside Looking at it, I don't know what to think.

Zhao Ziyue moved her eyes away from the sniper scope, and nodded to Lin Guiyao: "There are two guys, but they are just two children. Are you sure you want me to shoot with this gun? Even a tranquilizer bomb..."

"Child?" Lin Guiyao's eyes became confused, and his mouth kept moving, as if he was talking to someone.

But soon he came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's really two children, without weapons, let a few guys surround them from the side!"

Zhao Ziyue's gun was so powerful that it would be easy to cut off a hand with one shot. Since she found that the other party was not a big threat, she didn't need to go to war so much.

As for why Lin Guiyao knew so clearly, it was mainly due to the characteristics of the ground network. By communicating with the surrounding plants, he was able to obtain the information those plants had experienced.

Unfortunately, there were many plants around and the information was very noisy. He only had a quick chat with the tree that noticed someone around him and then closed the conversation.

Another reason is that the intelligence quotient of plants is too low, and it is said for a long time that it is nothing: useless information such as fear, discomfort, and death.

Soon, the two little guys who were hiding were brought to Lin Guiyao and the others.

Not new humans, not Nokya people, just two ordinary children who were all white from the cold.

An older child hid another fair-skinned child tightly behind him, looking warily at the soldiers with guns surrounding them, his teeth clenched tightly, but his hands trembling constantly.

According to the soldier, when he found them, he held a half stick and wanted to resist...

"Two siblings?" Lin Guiyao touched his chin.
