Grandmaster

Qin Sang had no objection to this point, the two of them sorted out their equipment, had lunch in advance, and then picked up a light mecha that could take two people out.

The team's previous long-term station was between the second and third walls of the first base. The location was not bad, but it was not a core place.

The holographic projection was created from the air, and this place was covered by unusually dense plants, and the detectors that flew in could only grab piles of dense plants, and did not enter deeper places.

The mecha first flew over the dense forest, and then landed near the location, at a very fast speed.

In the dense bushes, there was no place for the mecha to land at all. As a last resort, Yue Junze put on his combat uniform and jumped down, sweeping a five-square-meter open space with his lightsaber.

Qin Sang sat in the mecha and looked at the data returned by the detector. Except for the dense plants, the image reflected by the sound wave proved that the building wrapped up was indeed the team's previous camp.

Yue Junze jumped up to drive the mech to land, then opened the cockpit and jumped down with Qin Sang, "How is it, is the picture drawn by the detector the correct place?"

"It's true to look at the imaginary picture of the building..." Qin Sang was stunned at the dense plants. What he saw was a thick green in the air, but it was far less terrifying than the visual impact of standing on the ground. It's all green, and it's hard to tell whether it's shrubs or trees and vines. They are crowded together, and the green is tens of meters high, or the thickness is more appropriate. Now they seem to be standing in a deep green well of several square meters.

Under his feet was a thick layer of dust caused by the lightsaber scratching the plants. When Qin Sang held his breath and looked around, Yue Junze followed Qin Sang's gaze to look around, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "These plants are also The growth is too unreasonable, no matter how dense the natural forest is, there should be gaps in the trunks underneath, the sunlight received at different heights is different, and the plants should be scattered."

Qin Sang had already grabbed his hand, "Go back to the mech, fly up and have a look."

Yue Junze took him up to the cockpit of the mech, wandered around the place where the plants were extremely dense, and at the same time released all the portable light detectors he brought.

After three or ten minutes, the two people came to the conclusion that the plants were so dense that they looked like a giant green sponge, with an area of ​​about one square kilometer. Outside this range, the wildly growing plants seemed to be bound by an invisible force. , as long as that limit is crossed, everything will be normal.

Sure enough, this place is weird.

The two returned to the mech landing point that had been cleared out before. According to the graphics sent back by the detector, the entrance of the building buried by plants was next to this point.

Jumping out of the mecha again, Yue Junze helped Qin Sang tidy up the combat uniform, "I don't know what's inside, it's better to keep it fully enclosed."

"No problem, I'll follow behind you." Qin Sang flicked the helmet, and waved the small baby lightsaber in his hand. It has been a few days since it was created, and it has become the researcher of the entire landing module. standard configuration.

Yue Junze tidied up the things he was carrying, hung a high-power lightsaber on his waist, and also held a small one in his hand. This kind of power is most suitable for exploring the road.

The two of them took three steps back and forth, and Yue Junze stopped. The ground was a bit different. The space he swept out just now was about five square meters square. The branches of the tree came to this place.

It's not the kind of expansion where the branches that were squeezed together spread out to take up the place before. It seems that these plants grow up quickly.

Yue Junze used the hologram he took half an hour ago in his optical brain, and compared it block by block with the current hologram. That's right, some branches were obviously longer than before and had a few more leaves. It was these plants that quickly fell into the sky where it grew.

The two glanced at each other through the helmets, and could feel the shock of each other even if they didn't match their eyes, Yue Junze pondered for a while, "We saw at the fifth base that the supernatural beings at that time were of the plant type, and this ability can improve seeds. Is it?" The effect of the ability should not last for thousands of years after the death of the master.

"I don't know the effect of the ability for thousands of years. There were various experiments at that time. After the person with the ability left or died, the natural forces they created, such as water and fire, would disappear naturally. Plants must also take root. And I haven't heard of any wood-type supernatural being able to improve plant seeds. If there are seeds with this growth speed, there will be enough food in the base, and it is not certain whether humans will enter space." Qin Sang stared Those plant stems with new leaves have a terrifying feeling that they are growing every second at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yue Junze turned on the millisecond-level video recording function of all the monitors, "Looking at the hologram, the wall gate of the camp is five meters away, but the plants are so dense that there is no trace of human buildings at all."

"Maybe it's not a supernatural power." Qin Sang pulled out the picture taken in the sky just now from the light brain, "Look, there is some power to confine these abnormal plants in this area, then think about it, what is inside it?" Power supports these plants to grow desperately."

Yue Junze couldn't help shrugging his shoulders, "Array? Magic weapon? Since I saw the supernatural power, I think I can calmly accept what you say now. However, the previous plan for two people to explore should be cancelled. Your current state, I You are not allowed to get close to any dangerous places. What kind of power is in it, whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is not clear, so..."

"Listen to you, don't try to convince me." Qin Sang interrupted Yue Junze, a little frustrated, but had to admit that what Yue Junze said was right, he had seen some miraculous powers with his own eyes, and God would not give him any more A chance to come back to life, even if it is to find the last clue of the partner in the last days, the premise is to live well. "But can you promise me a request to advance the excavation of this place? Now the outer city wall has not made much progress. The people who lived there were ordinary people with low abilities, and the possibility of a big discovery is relatively low. The state is still relatively flexible, so let’s do this first.”

Yue Junze patted him on the back reassuringly, "I know your urgency, your partners at the beginning also expected you to live well, so it doesn't make sense for me to repeat it. Call Hudson now, the information is sorted out enough More, you have to do something practical.”

After Hudson arrived on Earth, it has been half a month of sorting out materials and demolishing walls, and his daily life has not exploded. He is quite passionate and has nowhere to go. After receiving Yue Junze's detailed description and orders, he almost It is to run back to the landing ship at a flying speed to put on equipment and greet the younger brother.

There are so many people who are as boring as him. After forcefully suppressing the team members who asked to join in the fun, the team leaders followed Hudson to reach the huge and weird forest in only 10 minutes.

Yue Junze didn't let them enter directly, but first scanned the one-kilometer-square green area from various directions, then took samples and analyzed the plants, finally chose a direction, and opened a three-meter-wide road with his landing point as the end point. path.

After entering the woods, the visual impact and sense of oppression are really different from those seen in the sky. Hudson drove the mecha and followed the soldiers who swept the road slowly for more than ten meters, and finally couldn't resist adjusting the vision of the mecha. Cheng looked down from the sky, "I'll go, this place is like a huge green sponge, it feels like you can suffocate in it."

The researcher of the biological group echoed in the channel, "The first group of peripheral plant sampling and analysis has come out. From the bottom shrubs, vines, and tallest trees, the gene sequence is no different from normal plants. Even the cell activity is the same as this range. The other plants are no different, it's too weird!"

The geological researcher dug a hole in the ground every step of the way and picked out some soil. "After several meters of humus, there are some traces of the artificially built road surface 3000 years ago at the bottom. After this layer, it is also the same as the surrounding There is no difference in the soil, the mineral content is the same.”

"How can the soil with the same humidity and temperature at the same altitude within 50 meters be any different?" Other research institutes who hadn't started working were even more excited. "With this analysis, the possibility of mysterious forces causing this result is even greater. Mr. Yue's In the report, the plants in the vacated space will spread over, and the changes can be seen in half an hour. At this speed, the planet that is currently the most suitable for plant growth in the Federation is not so fast."

In order to prevent things from being destroyed, the soldiers did not clean up the plants quickly. The light saber maintained a very low power output, and the detector flying in front issued an alarm sound. There were some animal bones hanging on the vines, and the small parts were already rotten. Gone, the remaining part can be identified as a feline.

Sure enough, there was a strangling effect here, but it was just an ordinary animal bone. For some reason, the researchers shook their shoulders unconsciously when they saw this, and felt that the hairs on their backs stood up a little, so they became more careful in the journey ahead.

The area of ​​this green plant is only one kilometer in radius. It took more than an hour to open a road from the periphery to the center, but it was only more than 500 meters. The plants on all sides have been closed to the middle by more than half a meter.

With several double S-level fighters and researchers of various disciplines, Qin Sang had to admit that she felt a little more secure in her heart. It was only one o'clock in the afternoon, so everyone stopped waiting and began to clean up the covered buildings around the gate plant.

Soon, the original appearance of one wall of the building was exposed. Where plants are dense, there must be more microorganisms and more moisture. The erosion of this building is not high, and the vines attached to the walls have not been completely removed. Clean, with black holes facing everyone, the gate is closed, covered with plant debris, no traces can be seen, the preservation is relatively complete by visual inspection, and even the steel fence outside the gate is still a little faint identifiable shape.

Before the cleaning was near, some soldiers turned around and reported in surprise that the windows on the first floor had only window holes left. It is amazing that, looking in from the windows, there were no traces of plants in the house.

This is unreasonable, the wind and the sun, even if the ground inside was cement and stone before, without windows, the dust blown in for thousands of years is enough for plants to grow, and the place is as clean as a newly built rough house.

"So, this big green sponge is bound by two forces. One prevents it from spreading like this house, and the other prevents it from spreading outward." Hudson inspected it closely, and the isolation was too neat. up.

Everyone looked at Yue Junze, do you want to go in?

Yue Junze looked at Qin Sang, Qin Sang thought for a long time, but couldn't be sure whether the house was left by his former comrades in arms or a trap set up by the enemy, "I think it's safer to clear the whole house and check it first."
