Chapter 120 Eight
At this moment, Mu Li was holding his spear and knife, standing under a huge beech plant, concentrating on guarding all directions.Just behind her, Bailey was wearing a thick white protective suit, using a military knife a little clumsily, trying to cut off the hard gray-white bark.
Bailey asked to collect samples of trees, and Mu Li was sent by Mu Xin to guard Bailey's work.Although she also felt that Bailey's move was unwise, as a subordinate, she did not intend to disobey the leader's order.
Interesting, as expected of a tree that has evolved the ability to block radiation, this bark is really special.Bailey said excitedly while cutting with the serrated part of the knife.At this moment, the collection team led by Bailey and the guard team led by Mu Li independently opened a group channel, and the rest of the people staying in the team could not hear their conversation for the time being.
Mu Li didn't have Bailey's carefree spirit. She felt her scalp tingling from the moment she entered the forest.She always felt that there was a gaze cast on her head, but no matter how often she looked up, she could not see any threats except for the giant trees towering into the sky and the leaves and branches covering the sky.
While Mu Li continued to watch his surroundings, he was distracted and sent a private message to Lan Ni, asking:
The highly poisonous colorful spider you mentioned just now, can you tell me about its physical appearance in detail?
I'm not very clear either, because the encounter with the highly poisonous colorful spider was an extremely accidental single event, and there is very little information left. I also saw it in the illustrated book by accident when I was studying the subject of Zerg species.The photos are very blurry and the description is vague.It's just that sex likes areas with high radiation, which itself is a source of radiation, and it's radioactive and highly toxic.The photo was very blurry, and the description said that there were four pairs of eyes and five pairs of long legs.
How big is a single individual? Will it be small, like kudzu worms?
No, because the person who took the photo saw the venomous spider very clearly with the naked eye, took the photo in a hurry and ran for his life.And the distance is not close. Judging from the feeling of the photos, the distance is at least about five meters.In the dense forest, if the human eye can see very clearly at a glance from five meters away, a single individual must be at least the size of a grown man's fist.I personally deduce that it should be the size of a football.
Mu Li didn't speak for a while, as if he was thinking.
Don't worry, even if there are poisonous colorful spiders in this forest, once it appears, it will immediately sound the alarm, and will not approach quietly.It itself is a source of radiation, and the radiation monitors we wear will send out an alarm once they enter a high-radiation area. For the poisonous colorful spider, this thing is equivalent to a radar.Lan Ni comforts Mu Li.
I don't know why, I always have a bad feeling, do you feel that someone is watching us, and it's still from above.
Lan Ni said: It is good to be vigilant, but don't be too tense, otherwise, you will be suspicious.I know that the beginning of the trip made you very nervous, so relax. Our team can handle most emergencies, so you have to have confidence in yourself.And... She paused, and said bitterly: Our luck will not always be so bad.
Yes, I know.
Perhaps, as Lanny said, there were no accidents during the collection process by Bailey's team.Mo Kexin also got out of the car to help collect. It was the first time she did such a thing, but it was not difficult. The only difficulty was probably peeling the bark off the tree.I don't know whether it was subconscious or intentional, but during the collection process, she was always very close to the place where Mu Li stood guard, and wherever Mu Li went, she followed.It's just a pity that one is fully armed and wears a helmet, and the other is wearing a thick protective suit, so no one can see who she is, so her actions are not so conspicuous.Although Mu Li noticed it, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Mu Li led the ten armored infantrymen in the armored vehicle she had been riding in before, and the rest followed Lin Zhao and continued to stand by in the vehicle to protect the safety of the lead vehicle.After Dr. Bailey's collection was over, the team escorted them all back to the vehicle safely, and then Mu Li led the team back to the armored vehicle.
Bailey's team also knew the dangers of radiation, so they temporarily entered the large truck carrying the goods and kept away from people. They would not get out of the vehicle until the radiation on their bodies was eliminated and all the samples were sealed up.It is estimated that they will stay in that freight truck until tonight's station.
The rest of the trip went very smoothly. They left the forest before 05:30 in the evening, crossed the Ukrainian border, and entered Hungary.Once they entered Hungary, they were considered to have left the radiation zone, basically out of danger.Afterwards, they traveled for a while, and finally settled down in an abandoned border town-Klein Waldau.
All the vehicles were parked in order, and all the staff got off and assembled.Standing on the roof of the lead car, Mu Xin summarized today's itinerary and announced tomorrow's itinerary:
Thank you for your hard work, the task on the first day was not easy, but fortunately, everyone came here safe and sound.I hope this momentum can continue.Those who are on duty at night should strictly follow the schedule on duty and be vigilant. I will conduct spot checks at any time, and I don't want to see dozing off.You must know that this is the wilderness with no backup, thousands of kilometers away from the Federation, and dangers are everywhere. If you close your eyelids, the lives of the entire team may be ruined.
